Qi Lin and Long Ji took Xu Tiandao outside the studio. There was an open-air coffee shop outside. The tables and chairs were placed outside, surrounded by a decorative fence, and there were some potted plants to decorate the environment.
Qi Lin sat down with the people, and after ordering coffee, he looked at Xu Tiandao.
"Master Xu, we are from the Monster Management Association. We are here to investigate the cocoon. Please cooperate."
Xu Tiandao froze, opened his mouth but didn't speak, and planned to deal with it with silence first.
Qi Lin knocked on the table: "Who gave you the demon cocoon?"
Xu Tiandao is a human being, so naturally he can't enter the demon market, let alone bring a demon to circulate in human society.
Qi Lin knew in his heart that there were people or monsters behind Xu Tiandao.
Xu Tiandao was dressed in a Tang suit, with half a hundred hair combed neatly, and his demeanor was daunting, but at this moment, his eyes were drooping, and he looked a little scared.
Hearing Qi Lin's words, he weighed the stakes of this matter in his heart, and finally kept his mouth shut and decided not to say anything.
Long Ji suddenly raised his hand at the side, threw a few small black balls on the table, and said coldly: "Or you can try the cocoon worm first, and see if it can cure the mute disease after eating."
Xu Tiandao was caught off guard by this taunt, and a thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
He is fully aware of the role of the cocoon worm, and if he eats it, he will die.
As a person with status in the entertainment industry, no one can hold him up when they see him. If big-name celebrities want to see him, they have to make an appointment several months in advance.
But at this moment, he couldn't hold back his arrogance. Although he had never met the two before him, he had heard of the name of the Demon Association.
At the beginning, that person gave him thousands of exhortations and told him a lot about the greatness of the Demon Association, which made him always have a sense of fear of the Demon Association in his heart.
After a while, he opened his tight mouth and said, "I don't know."
Neither side can afford to offend, that's all I can say.
"Could it be that you picked up the demon cocoons on the ground?" Qi Lin said, "The demon association has already found you, and you can't solve the problem by running away."
Xu Tiandao raised his head, his shining eyes were a little cloudy at this moment: "I don't know anything."
Qi Lin frowned: "In the entertainment industry, we have found at least two female celebrities who have eaten cocoon worms, and one of them almost died. Master Xu, if this incident gets out and has contact with you, you can still keep it." Do you live where you are now?"
Xu Tiandao's back felt cold.
His current status is hard-won, and the money he earns is enough for him to spend several lifetimes. If something happens to him, he will lose everything.
But although the two people in front of them belonged to the Demon Association, they were just outsiders. Even if they exposed something, they would not cause any disturbance.
Thinking of this, Xu Tiandao's eyes became firmer, and they returned to the brilliance just now.
"You two, I really don't know anything, I'm afraid I can't help you much."
After finishing speaking, he showed his usual smile for distinguished guests and said, "If you want to ask me for fortune-telling and fortune-telling, I can make an exception and arrange the nearest time for you."
Qi Lin knows now that these people in the entertainment industry are a little bit unable to see the coffin without crying.
Without giving them any real experience or proof, their mouths will not spit out a half-truth.
Qi Lin sighed slightly: "Xu Tiandao, you don't really think that our Demon Association has little power in human society, do you?"
After saying this, Qi Lin looked sideways at Long Ji.
He still remembered the real estate prison in the suburbs of the Demon Association. At that time, Long Ji said that the real estate was given by a monster with status in human society.
Later he was thinking, I am afraid that the Monster Association has monsters from all walks of life in human society who can help.
Qi Lin looked straight at Long Ji: "It's your turn, put on a show."
Long Ji received Qi Lin's gaze, and the corner of his mouth raised a shallow arc, then looked at Xu Tiandao coldly.
"In the entertainment industry you are in, there are currently 108 monsters in all walks of life, ready to meet the needs of the Monster Association at any time, but—"
Speaking of this, Long Ji suddenly raised his right hand, and saw a bunch of cocoon worms on the table all broke out of their shells, and a bunch of worms were writhing on the table.
The next moment, Xu Tiandao's mouth suddenly opened wide, and the cocoons on the table flew directly into his mouth.
Xu Tiandao's mouth was squeezed open by an invisible force, and he was forced to swallow the demon cocoon.
Long Ji put down his hand, pinched his phalanges: "——it doesn't need to be so troublesome."
Xu Tiandao finally won the free control of his body, he immediately put his hand into his mouth and clasped his throat, retching, trying to spit out the demon cocoon.
I saw that the hand clasping his throat was covered with saliva, tears and snot flowed down his nose, and he was in a panic.
Qi Lin pushed the napkin on the table forward: "Don't button it, it's useless, they will multiply in your body soon."
Xu Tiandao raised his head, his face full of embarrassment: "You... as members of the Demon Association, you actually use this method to persecute human beings!"
Qi Lin looked at him expressionlessly: "We have given you a chance."
Xu Tiandao clenched his hands into fists and put them on the table: "Take out the bugs quickly! I know the rules of your demon association, you are not allowed to harm human beings!"
"You know quite a lot." Qi Lin nodded thoughtfully, "It's true that you can't be harmed, but you didn't say that you can't torture."
"Perhaps you can experience the new confession method launched by the Demon Association first. Use the cocoon worm to eat your body, take it out when you are breathing, and put the worm into your body after you repair it. Repeat several times. This time, I believe you are willing to say anything."
After Qi Lin finished speaking, he tilted his head and looked at Long Ji: "Is the new method I came up with, okay?"
Long Ji raised his eyebrows: "It's a good way, I'll give you a raise."
"Why do you treat me like this!" Xu Tiandao's neatly combed hair was already a little messy.
Qi Lin replied seriously: "Since you use monsters to harm and deceive human beings, and you don't even care about the lives of your own kind, then you are not worthy of being a human being."
"They did it voluntarily! They came to my door and begged me to buy it!" Xu Tiandao said, "Normal transactions between human beings are out of your control!"
Qi Lin pointed to his body: "The cocoons you eat are under our control, and if you use them to make money and harm others, then we are also under our control."
At this time, Long Ji suddenly patted Qi Lin's shoulder from the side, and when he turned his head to look over, his cold eyes were filled with a bit of a smile.
"You are too soft-hearted, and you still explain patiently. If someone else from the Demon Association came, he would have been convinced."
Qi Lin was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "It's because my efficiency is too low, and I never thought of doing anything to humans."
Long Ji suddenly reached out and rubbed his hair: "It's okay, your soft heart is also very cute."
Qi Lin: ... Boss, are you confused about what we are doing?
Qi Lin coughed lightly, ignoring Long Ji's sudden interjection, turned to look at Xu Tiandao and said, "Let me advise you, you can deal with it lightly now, and when our boss starts to fight, you may just..."
Speaking of this, he purposely glanced at Long Ji.
Xu Tiandao was like a deflated ball at this moment, the moment he swallowed the cocoon worm, he had already collapsed.
He wants to save his life, status and money, these things can only be enjoyed if he has his life.
"I say."
Xu Tiandao quickly explained that there was indeed someone behind him, and it was that person who gave him the cocoon, not only the cocoon, but he had such a status now, and it was because of that person who helped him behind his back.
At first, he was just a charlatan, setting up a fortune-telling stall in the park to deceive old men and old ladies.
One day, he was approached by someone, and a man came and said that he could bring him endless glory and wealth.
Later, the man did it. He told others' fortune, looked at Feng Shui, and the man helped him behind his back.
That man is very capable, and he has shown him that he can manipulate monsters to do things, so that many places that humans can't see can command monsters to do things.
With such cooperation, Xu Tiandao gradually became famous because of his accurate calculations, and then entered the entertainment circle and began to count stars.
Celebrities are so easy to earn money, they have money and believe in these things, after a few times, Xu Tiandao's reputation in the circle has started.
There is no free lunch in the world. That man helped Xu Tiandao so much for only one purpose. The money Xu Tiandao earned must be shared with him, and it was [-] cents, eight for him, and two for Xu Tiandao.
Xu Tiandao had no objection to this. Without the help of this man, he might still be living as a beggar.
With the money and status he has earned now, even if he can only get two, it is enough for him to spend several lifetimes.
After the two had worked together for a long time, Xu Tiandao asked the man out of curiosity, why didn't he come out to become famous and do things himself, because he was so powerful, wouldn't he earn more.
The man probably felt more at ease after all these years. Although he didn't elaborate, he still revealed something.
He said that he was in a big family, and the family lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, but after all, there were so many people who wanted to live, so he came out occasionally to cooperate with Xu Tiandao, and when he made money, he took it home to support the family.
But the family's ancestral motto is that clansmen should not enter the world, so he is already on the verge of breaking the rules, so he can't show his face even more.
The cocoon was brought to Xu Tiandao by that man recently, after explaining its efficacy, let him make good use of it.
What Xu Tiandao didn't expect was that the car overturned this time and was approached by the Demon Association.
After explaining what happened, Xu Tiandao's expression was no longer the same as before. At this time, he drooped his head and shoulders, as if he had returned to the downcast look when he was setting up a stall in the park.
"I've said everything, can you take out the cocoon?"
At this moment, Qi Lin had a vague guess in his mind, and he asked, "What's the name of the man you mentioned?"
Xu Tiandao replied: "He said his name was Gu Yue, but I always called him Brother Gu."
Gu Yue?
Qi Lin frowned and asked, "Where is the family he said is hiding from the world? Where is it?"
Xu Tiandao shook his head: "He didn't tell me about that, he even said about the family when he was drunk once, that's all he said."
"How do you usually contact him?" Qi Lin asked.
"He will come out to meet with me every week, and I will tell him the business accumulated this week, and then he will solve it one by one."
"That is to say, only he can take the initiative to find you, and you can't take the initiative to contact him?"
"Yes, the phone he left for me is usually unavailable. He can only call me on the day he comes to see me."
Qi Lin pondered for a moment, then asked, "Where do you usually make an appointment to meet?"
Xu Tiandao replied: "In Yandao City, there is a villa I bought over there. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, I didn't meet in Jianghua City."
"Have you met this week?"
"Not yet. According to the fixed time, we should meet the day after tomorrow."
Qi Lin nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Take us to the place where you met him the day after tomorrow."
Xu Tiandao hesitated and did not speak, Qi Lin knocked on the table with his fingers: "You have said everything, now besides cooperating with us, do you expect to continue to cooperate with him?"
Xu Tiandao's heart shook, and then he lowered his head: "Okay."
After Xu Tiandao left, Qi Lin spoke out the speculation in his heart just now.
"From the description, I think the man who is working with Xu Tiandao looks like a member of the monster catcher family. He can control monsters, hide from the world, and—"
Long Ji answered: "Gu Yue is Hu, the surname of the demon hunter's family."
Qi Lin nodded: "This is our chance to find the demon hunter family, whether it is or not, we have to confirm it."
Qi Lin sat down with the people, and after ordering coffee, he looked at Xu Tiandao.
"Master Xu, we are from the Monster Management Association. We are here to investigate the cocoon. Please cooperate."

I saw that the hand clasping his throat was covered with saliva, tears and snot flowed down his nose, and he was in a panic.

Xu Tiandao raised his head, his face full of embarrassment: "You... as members of the Demon Association, you actually use this method to persecute human beings!"
