It's not illegal

Well, this Colonel Lei is not a scumbag.

It's just that once the painted skin is peeled off, people are not human in the first place.

Although the military certificate stated that he was a PLA special response unit, his actual identity was a member of the Dragon Group, also known as the resident task force of the Demon Control Bureau.

It's just that the painting style of the dragon group and the dragon group can also be very different. If there are Sun Xiaoshun's eight honors and eight shames, who are eager to contribute to the construction of a harmonious human-demon society, and are specially used to show off in peacetime, there will be Someone like Lei Jun who looks down on mortals from the bottom of his heart, uses thunder methods to manipulate human governments in extraordinary times.

Probably the monsters are not as clear about the fact that the Heavenly Dao has completely disappeared than Xiao Li and Du Ling, the two users who are directly bound to the Heavenly Dao, so the methods they use to control the situation are not very extreme.They just used verbal stimulation and factual oppression to shake the other party's beliefs, and then used a tough attitude and the promise of "our side is fully responsible for any accidents" to break through the officials' defenses, and finally completely gained the dominance.

Mayor Chen's group originally argued from the standpoint of the public, thinking that it would be too inhumane to use a tougher and harsher management method to increase the psychological pressure on people lurking with demonic energy, and to screen out people with high risk of mutation for isolation, but In the end, he was gradually persuaded by Lei Jun.

Let potential mutants stay with ordinary people, and disasters and accidents will occur continuously. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. This can at least control casualties and prevent most people from realizing the horror of mutation.

In the end, the officials who were persuaded by the two benefits of maintaining stability and stopping losses agreed to the proposal, and a series of orders that were so cruel and authoritarian that they were inconceivable were drawn up, and they only waited for a phone call to be stamped to take effect.

For citizens who have already been displaced and complained, once these new regulations are implemented, it will undoubtedly make things worse.

Therefore, to make such a decision, the city government is also under great pressure, which cannot be offset by a mere Colonel Lei Jun saying that the military will take the lead and take full responsibility.But after struggling with a heavy face for a long time, Mayor Chen still chose to give instructions.

It's just because he sincerely believes that this is beneficial to the safety of most people, and he has no choice.

But Du Ling knew that this was a scam from beginning to end.

Regardless of whether this monster in the mask of a special military commissioner is a real employee of the Demon Management Bureau, or a conspirator's minion pretending to be a dragon group, the methods he proposed will not bring any benefits.

Brutal oppression only fuels more dissatisfaction, doubt, anger and pain, which belong to the dark side of the human heart, which is...

'Magic' bait.

Originally, when the Dao of Heaven was operating normally, demonic energy could not invade the hearts of mortals. At most, only when a large amount of negative emotions showed a phenomenal accumulation (such as large-scale wars) could they take the opportunity to erode the escaping anger and strengthen themselves.

But the situation is completely different now, the 'demon' can already attack individuals directly, take away all the life force of a mortal, and transform him into a temporary prop to expand and devour!

There is no difference between mortals and mortals, and none of the mutants imprisoned in this underground research institute is endowed with spiritual roots, so the cornerstone of Lei Jun's entire plan is to "distinguish a small number of potential mutants from normal people." ", it was not established from the beginning!

Everyone can be enchanted.

The more unstable the mood of the masses and the more negative thoughts they have, the worse the whole situation will be. Persecution and high pressure will only create more and more demonized people...

"What the hell does this bastard want to do?!" Do you still think that human beings are not miserable enough!

That's right, of course they think that human beings are not miserable enough... If there is no chaos or collapse, how can there be a chance for the monster race to replace it?

The more Du Ling thought about it, the more he felt the cold air coming from his bones. He quickly withdrew his consciousness, grabbed Xiao Li's arm and gritted his teeth: "This guy's plot must not be allowed to succeed!!"

"Well." Of course, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven could not let the 'demon' run wild. Although it is very suspicious that the magic energy can suddenly infect ordinary people, but now is not the time to investigate the truth.

Xiao Li pinched a formula with his hand, and the bright and powerful electric light condensed and gathered in his slender and white palm.

"For a while, you pay attention to protecting those mortals, and I will first lure this monster out—"

At the same time as his murderous words, Du Ling also took out his whole set of equipment, asked seriously with a cinnabar pen in one hand and a yellow watch paper in one hand: "Xiao Lizi! Do you remember the one we saw at the door of Zhang Jing's house before— —Is that the way to draw the talisman that can isolate all communication methods?"

Huh?

At this moment, the old and new fighting concepts collided with sparks, and the light of wisdom shone brightly in a crisis——

Well, let's not brag about the cowhide for the time being, Xiao Li, who instantly grasped Du Ling's thinking, flashed a hint of appreciation in his eyes.Time was running short, and he didn't have time to slowly guide the other party to draw talismans, so he took the tool and moved his brush like flying, and quickly made several Dao talismans with radiant light.

Although Xiao Li didn't have any attainments in the Dao of talismans, but after all, the realm of the pinnacle of comprehension is there, and it is completely easy to just copy what he has seen.

Then with a wave of one hand, the talisman paper turned into several golden lights and flew towards the four normal directions, which complement each other to build a barrier.

Block all communication channels inside and outside the enchantment.

Now, no matter how much Lei Jun tried to fool and brainwash those officials, it was useless, the phone couldn't get through to the network and there was no signal, even if he broke his throat, no one could hear him.

The government decree that shit doesn't come out of the basement, the disaster victims and the disaster relief workers who don't know the truth can finally sleep well.

Next, it's Tiandixiu who catches the turtle in the urn and closes the door to beat the dog~TIME.

Du Ling's brain hole that drew inspiration from modern information warfare dug a deep hole for Lei Jun, that is, the appearance of this isolation spell, which can be said to be an internal patent of the Demon Control Bureau, made him mistakenly think that it was from the same system. The demon is in the way.

From Lei Jun's point of view, no matter how vicious the intentions of the task he is performing, it is also "legal" with the seal and approval of the Standing Committee of the Demon Control Bureau. Nosy passing parties meddle.

So when ordinary people found that they couldn't get through the phone and couldn't connect to the Internet, they panicked and wanted to throw out the underground bunker research institute. Not only did this arrogant monster not take the hostages in the first place, but he also left these meat shields underneath, and his clothes were fluttering. He ran to the ground alone to say hello.

He was in a hurry this time, and in order to keep it secret, he didn't have any additional staff. He could only work with a group of stupid ordinary people. Now that the incident happened, it would be best to recruit a few employees from the bureau as temporary subordinates.

Anyway, it is their honor to be able to follow the adults.

Lei Jun's little plan is also very good, but unfortunately, after meeting him, he found that the other person was not his own person at all.

That smell of human cultivation... Hiss, I am worried that I have no good food to fill my stomach.

The penetrating tongue slipped out from the corner of his mouth, and licked the yellow translucent eyelids. Lei Jun let out a grin, and the golden pupils with cold-blooded reptile essence flashed fiercely.He didn't bother to talk about the scene, and directly turned into a monster body of a giant python whose waist was thicker than a bucket, with strange green venom dripping from the corner of his mouth, and the foul-smelling black air was like Xiao Li and Du Ling rushing towards him!

"Seeking your own way."

Seeing the ferocious and evil little boss attack with all his strength, he only received such a faint evaluation from His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven.

The whole process took less than ten seconds, and it was over before Du Ling could react and screamed.

Specifically, this self-esteemed "Dragon Group Colonel" didn't even touch the corners of the two of them, and was directly pierced by His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, who is full of swordsmanship and righteousness, and hung on the handle made by Du Ling himself. love on the tip of the golden sword.

A snake that is small, black, black and ugly, can hardly even be used as an ornament. It is only the body fluid dripping from the wound, dripping on the ground and eroding the soil and emitting a trace of white smoke, which barely proves that this is true and just now. That frightening monster was the same snake.

Du Ling, who kept watching the whole process and didn't even put on a bottle of soy sauce, finally concluded: "...if you don't have the skills, don't be arrogant. Look, isn't this killing yourself?"

No wonder Wang Huo and his teacher lamented that the quality of modern monsters has gone from bad to worse after Taoist priests who have not slain monsters and demons. At least they used a spell to hit the muzzle of a gun directly with the prototype, thinking it was to scare mortals?

It's so funny, who is your dog with?

With a look of disgust on his face, Du Ling leaned over and pinched the stiff tail tip of the little black snake, and unexpectedly discovered that Xiao Li had actually given him a sigh of relief.

It seems that no matter how disgusted this kind of evildoer who works for the devil, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, who is dedicated to his duty, still remembers to ask for a confession.

But they are all back to their original shape, can they torture them to extract a confession?

Du Ling looked at this snake spirit who was so arrogant before and didn't care about the life of a city at all, but now hangs on the tip of his sword waiting to dry. , without a trace of mercy, the only worry is that the other party can't stand it and just hang up.

However, Xiao Li's subsequent actions like clouds and flowing water still told Du Ling that his self-conceited cold imagination was nothing but a trivial matter. "Two words.

There is no need to bother to consider the wishes of the other party at all, and there is no need for coercion or temptation. If the demon-slaying monks want to get some information from the captives, the easiest and most direct way is to search for the soul.

Soul search, as the name suggests, is to extract the opponent's soul out of the shell, and use secret techniques to extract the required information.

In the process, the torment of the party being searched for the soul was almost to the point of losing their souls. The orthodox monks who are jealous of evil will not talk about human rights with evildoers, and they have no room for the idea of ​​​​giving the other party a chance of survival. It is no wonder that many years ago Human cultivators and monster races are almost immortal.

Watching the whole process of Xiao Li pulling out the soul of the snake spirit with a method that could be called elegant, and being involved in the torture of the lightning in the palm of his hand, Du Ling instinctively shuddered even though he was still full of disgust for the snake spirit .

...This is probably an instinctive fear?

There is no joy or sorrow, and he will not feel elated because of the pain of the enemy, nor will he feel any compassion and softness. The calm and calm God of Heaven who seems to be performing every move of his daily sword practice makes him feel distant and strange.

Blocking out the resentful but meaningless wailing of the snake demon soul, Xiao Li quickly found the question he was most concerned about, which was how the demonic energy invaded the mortals——

The answer is actually not difficult to guess, and it really has something to do with the demon species that once showed up.

Originally, the demonic species was an extremely sinister existence. It could be understood as a highly condensed demonic energy. After spreading, it would pollute and disturb the peacefully flowing 'qi' between the heaven and the earth, turning the spiritual energy into dead energy, which in turn would affect the people living in it. Creatures, let them become irritable, irritable, and bloodthirsty... The more spiritual creatures are, the easier it is to fall into madness. In the apocalyptic world that Du Ling experienced in his previous life, the madness of grass, trees, monsters and beasts may be sacrificed and spread by those who care. Related to the devil.

But this time, the situation is different. The behind-the-scenes black hand who wants to promote the disaster to destroy human society improves the magic seed, so that it has the ability to bypass the pollution of aura and directly use the vitality of living people as nourishment to strengthen itself.

Although it still needs to be devoured with the help of entities, if these demons are allowed to erupt, then a chain reaction will happen like an avalanche. Whether people are fleeing in fear, or guarding each other to fight or even kill, they will only help the demons grow stronger. Billions of human beings will become the bait of demons!

But it is useless to kill a mutated demonized person by ordinary means. Xiao Li recalled the faint black smoke that wafted from the body of the mutant who turned into a mummy at the end, and his sword-brows were furrowed.

Every demonized and mutated individual is just a temporary prop for the "magic" to collect power, and no one is special and can be detached.

It's a pity that there is no way to know who the main messenger is. Once Xiao Li started to ask who is behind Lei Jun, the restrictions that had been preset in his soul suddenly exerted force, and he took the first step to twist the snake demon's soul into pieces. A little bit of use.

Apparently, the person behind the scenes also has the demeanor of a demon, and doesn't care about his loyal subordinates.

Xiao Li sighed inaudibly, and drew a burst of real fire with the tactic, incinerating the snake demon's dead shell and spirit fragments, which were still lingering with black energy, into ashes, allowing it to be completely purified and return to heaven and earth.

It didn't take long to perform the whole set of soul-searching techniques, and Xiao Li had already done it thousands of times in the cultivation phantom formation at the mountain gate, so it was an instinctive reaction and no need to think about it, so it wasn't until he carefully deliberated the information he got. , It was only when I wanted to share with Du Ling that I noticed the strange emotion of the Taoist couple.

Du Ling's baby face, which was only a little bigger than a palm, was rarely expressionless, his black and white peach blossom eyes were full of astonishment, noticing Xiao Li's gaze turned to him, he flinched involuntarily like a needle sting.

Xiao Li also thumped in his heart. He could naturally feel Du Ling's sudden rejection, but he didn't know what he did wrong to provoke him like this.

The inexperienced Emperor of Heaven opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know where to start. He wanted to get closer to appease the other party, but he hesitated because of the slight repulsion in Du Ling's eyes. In the end, he could only stand still with his sword in his hand. , looking nervously with a pair of pitch-black phoenix eyes.

The originally cold and majestic fairy appearance was forced to show a sense of grievance.

Du Ling finally came back to his senses after being poked by the unconscious cuteness of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor who had just finished being cruel. He tried to use his reason to suppress the fear that came from his body's instinct, so as to get rid of the control of negative emotions as soon as possible.

Killing a chicken for a monkey to see... No, it's sad for a rabbit to die and a fox. Kanye must have done a lot of evil back then, so after the demon's death, he still has a deep sense of fear of Taoist interrogation methods in his shell.

But even if he doesn't start from the perspective of monsters, Du Ling himself is not sensitive to the practice of directly extracting soul torture.

Although talking about humanitarianism in extraordinary times is a little bit uncomfortable, but... generally speaking, shouldn't prisoners be given a chance to express themselves before sentencing?

This feeling of cramping without saying a word, as if he didn't regard the snake demon as a self-aware and intelligent creature... It would make people feel unacceptable and normal.

Du Ling felt that he could not be regarded as being hypocritical. He did not clearly divide the boundary between humans and demons in his heart. In his opinion, those who are intelligent, thinking and speaking are all equal. Taking a step back, even ordinary people who cannot think and cannot speak Animals, he also felt that they were fate and should not be treated lightly.

Think about it, wasn't he just a little demon waiting to be tested in Xiao Li's eyes from the beginning?In case there is a misunderstanding...

It's just scary (.

However, after returning to his senses, he also knew that Xiao Li's actions were beyond reproach. After all, it was just that the education he had been exposed to since childhood was different.

For Xiao Li, slaying demons and demons has almost become his inborn mission, he will never be merciful, and evildoers who have anything to do with demons are completely unworthy of existence and must be eliminated.So this majesty kills bad monsters to search for a soul, it is probably as natural as touching a corpse after playing PVE games...

Thinking about it this way, and recalling Xiao Li's cultivation history like a cabbage, Du Ling immediately felt much better, and his originally tangled eyes became gentle and kind (?) again.

This is obviously a character defect caused by educational deviations. It is necessary for my uncle to tolerate it with a broad mind and water it with selfless love. Think about it, this guy used to be an iceberg god who couldn't even smile, but now he can It's a pity if you don't install it, there is still a lot of room for improvement!

What's the difference in worldview? Straight ones can be bent. What's the difference?

That must not be possible!

Although he didn't know what was going through Du Ling's mind, Xiao Li was keenly aware that the alarm seemed to be lifted, but the way Du Ling looked at him still made people feel a little... disturbed?

Xiao Li averted his gaze a little uncomfortably, and said that the body of the snake demon brushed off the sword and put the sword back into its sheath, and then asked a little hesitantly: "...you don't like me dealing with that snake demon without authorization?"

After thinking about it, he found this reason. He was indeed used to doing things too quickly. Maybe Du Ling had other ideas to ask for more clues?

Moreover, making such a good claim does not seem to respect the ability of Taoist companions enough, but he is not perfect, and the information he gets is pitiful... The gentleman who examines himself three times a day has fallen into deep self-examination.

God is pitiful, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, who has always acted according to the records of the school's classics, really never realized that the result would be the death of the soul, so what is the difference between directly killing the evildoer and killing the evildoer after torture.

Just as he has never equated Du Ling with any other monsters, so it is impossible to understand what terrible associations a certain Mr. writer, who was murdered and had intermittent delusions just now, had.

"Uh... I just think that pulling people's minds and souls is not something that villains often do, so the world view has been slightly impacted." Du Ling, who felt a little guilty for hurting the other party, explained it very tactfully.

In fact, thinking about it now, Du Ling feels that he is ruthless to the enemy's killing and decisiveness, and his Majesty the Emperor of Heaven who is gentle and caring to him... This painting style is also very charming. He also couldn't recover for a while, so Xiao Li I noticed that little emotion.

He put away the euphemism of his personal emotions, and the person who got the answer was even more at a loss, "You... don't like the art of searching for souls?"

--

The Emperor of Heaven is actually not perfect. He was molded into a distorted and stereotyped "immortal" by the sect and his master's last wish.As a person...the black and white world view still has a lot of room for adjustment, but with a special bird master in his heart, he will not stay on the altar for long (hey.

In fact, the Emperor of Heaven has been learning how to be a human being.

"Uh... I just think that pulling people's minds and souls is not something that villains often do, so the world view has been slightly impacted." Du Ling, who felt a little guilty for hurting the other party, explained it very tactfully.

In fact, looking back now, Du Ling feels that he is ruthless in killing and attacking the enemy, and he is gentle and caring towards himself, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven... This style of painting is also very charming. He also couldn't recover for a while, so Xiao Li noticed it. I lost that little emotion.

He put away his personal emotions and spoke tactfully, and the people who got the answer were even more at a loss, "Are you... you don't like the art of searching for souls?"

====

Xiao Li is actually not a mature, rational and perfect gentleman, he is quite unworldly, shaped into a distorted and stereotyped "immortal" by the sect and his master's last wishes.As a person...the black and white worldview still has a lot of room for adjustment

Anyway, I have a special bird master in my heart, and he will not stay on the cold altar for long (hey.
