【Invisible Infiltrator】

Hearing this, Xing Yi looked up at the woman who was nailed to the wall. His face was as flat and cold as ever, his brows were slightly frowned, and his dark eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he didn't believe the other person's words, and he responded lightly: "You The person I want to talk about is...the president? How is this possible?!"

"How is it impossible?" With a nervous smile on Wang Wanru's face, she raised the corners of her mouth sarcastically at the other three, and said, "The Demon Subduing Masters Association is an organization that relies on blame to wreak havoc. Demon, the country will no longer be able to support and rely heavily on the association, then the status of demon subduing masters will inevitably drop significantly. We are originally a profession that is not well-known to the world. In order to stabilize people's hearts and not cause panic, the existence of demons and demon subduing Have you ever thought about the consequences of losing the official attention if you were asked to keep it absolutely confidential by the people above?"

"We and the demon are not only natural enemies in camp opposition, but also have a delicate relationship of stable status-the more rampant the demon, the heavier the killings committed, and those humans who can really affect the future destiny of the association will realize the importance of demon subduing masters .”

"The long-term hunting of monsters has limited the growth of the number of monsters. In addition, in recent years, the behavior of monsters hunting civilians has been unusually restrained. It is often rare to have an attack case in a month or two. Ease and stability are not conducive to subduing monsters. The development of ancient occupations such as divisions, the president and the top management of the association decided to accept Master Zhongye's proposal of cooperation precisely because they sensed the trend of decline."

Xing Yi was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and exchanged a glance with Qi Jingyu who was next to him. The latter continued to drink tea calmly without saying a word, and had no intention of interfering in the conversation between their demon subduing masters.

But the contempt in that smirk was vividly reflected.

In order to maintain the false prosperity, the current high-level executives of the Demon Subduing Masters Association chose to cooperate with the demon?This kind of thing can really make people laugh when they hear it!

Xing Yi felt inconceivable, although this logic is indeed correct, but for this reason, it is really possible to abandon professional beliefs, such a thing can be done in a short while?

"What are the conditions of the Azure Dragon Promise Association?" Xing Yi asked.

"It's too specific for people like me to know," Wang Wanru said, "but the obvious thing is the half-demon fusion technology. They have created puppet beasts that can be used by newcomers, and they have also created monster beasts that are enough to threaten the higher-ups." Because, even yourself—”

The woman's eyes were sharp, and she met Xing Yi's eyes meaningfully, "The half-demonized demon-subduing master not only retains the precise puppet technique, but also enjoys the bodily function bonus brought by the demon soul in the body. It can be said that you are capable A demon subduing master with demon power, you can even say that you are a demon with humanity! Using the demon for yourself will increase the combat power of the association by a hundred times, which is beneficial to the association and has no harm!"

When her voice fell, Qi Jingyu couldn't help chuckling, Wang Wanru's face darkened instantly, and she said coldly: "Nine Tails, you are just a little fox, and even Qinglong, the king of all monsters, is committed to seeking cooperation with the association. What else do you care about?"

Qi Jingyu put down the teacup and said calmly, "I'm just laughing at how naive you are."

Wang Wanru frowned: "Why did you say that?!"

"May I ask you, Zhong Ye provided you with the method of fusing demon souls, and used the half-demon to keep the so-called 'demon-subduing master's status', so what are the benefits of these things for him?" Qi Jingyu's lips curled up. His smile deepened, but his eyes were icy cold, and he paused every word, "Could it be that it's just for Feng Chi to recruit a few dogs who are on call to serve you?"

"You!" Wang Wanru's face was livid with anger, and as soon as her muscles gathered strength, the wound pierced by the spikes immediately began to bleed, "The specific matters of the cooperation will be agreed upon by Mr. Zhongye and the president through private discussions. Naturally, it will not be up to the people below us." I know. Nine-Tails, you are too arrogant, you don’t pay attention to the demon-subduing master at all, why should we cooperate with the demon and benefit each other?!”

"I think you made a mistake." Qi Jingyu glanced at her casually, and said coldly, "Is it not just me, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, who really doesn't pay attention to the Demon Subduing Master? This is just your one-sided The cooperation we thought was actually reduced to Chongye's pawn at the very beginning, and it's a pity that we don't even know about it until now."

Wang Wanru's eyes were gloomy, and she stared at Qi Jingyu. Before she could speak, she saw a curtain hanging from the roof floating up. The woman kept her lips open and raised her head little by little. Some kind of hoarse and broken voice, she seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, her whole body twitched in pain, her eyeballs protruded, and she walked around in horror, trying to find the bastard who did it.

Yan Mo stood by the iron door at the entrance of the cell, and said with a smile, "Here it is."

Wang Wanru's cheeks flushed purple, she forced herself to look at him,

Yan Mo smiled and said, "You don't even look at the place where you are right now, and just disrespect Jing Yu like this, do you think the deity is a dead person?"

Hearing this, Master Nine Tails smiled again, picked up the teacup and blew away the floating leaves, took a sip leisurely, and said: "Now you know everything you should know, if you have any plans, you can tell them After finishing speaking, Qi Jingyu continued to drink tea, while the corner of his eye was squinting towards Xing Yi lightly.

At that moment, Xing Yi suddenly had a weird feeling of being seen through, and after a few seconds of silence, he said: "I had doubts about the association as early as when I knew that I had the soul of Suzaku in my body, but it is only now that I am sure." The problem comes from the president, this matter is of great importance to me, I need to go back and ask him the reason.”

This was a completely expected answer. Qi Jingyu looked calm as usual, and said in a leisurely manner: "Let's not talk about Chong Ye's ambition and motivation for using the demon masters. Even if you were once a highly valued candidate for the next president, it is not wise to go back hastily.”

"I have no choice," Xing Yi said. "Based on what I know about the president, it is impossible for him to agree to cooperate with the demon just because of such ridiculous reasons as 'stable status'. He is cruel and merciless, and I can't just watch the association be destroyed in his hands—so, this trip must go."

Qi Jingyu was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but looked at Xing Yi with a scrutinizing gaze. After a long while, he took a step back and said, "If you have to go, I will naturally not stop you, but if you go, my little disciple will definitely go too." Will follow. To be honest, I think the two phoenix souls in the Mei family compound are too easy to hold. Chong Ye learned that Feng Chi’s death can’t be silent. I can’t let Xiaohuan accompany you in danger. He must stay. Down!"

"Don't worry, I also took this into consideration, so I came here alone today." Xing Yi said.

Qi Jingyu raised his eyebrows and said, "So you didn't plan to go back after you came out today?"

Xing Yi nodded solemnly: "Yes."

Qi Jingyu was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "Xing Yi, if you dare to hide this from Xiao Huan, you won't be afraid that he won't see you go back and tear down my teahouse again?"

"I have no choice," Xing Yi said indifferently, "otherwise, as you said, it is impossible for him not to come with me."

Qi Jingyu: "Speaking of which, I haven't been able to grasp the location of your Demon Subduing Master's headquarters for so many years. It seems that it was hidden on purpose?"

Xing Yi gave a flat "hmm" and was about to speak——

At this moment, an unfamiliar wave of demonic power oscillated, not very strong or high-level, and even after passing it, even the vibration was very vague... But this is Shichahai, and all the demons in Beijing know about the courtyard. What is a hermit here, since he dared to show his coercion under the eyes of the nine-tailed demon fox, the other party must be a bad person!

After realizing this, the three present were stunned at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, Xing Yi suddenly got up and walked quickly towards the door of the pawn shop.Qi Jingyu was extremely shocked, and quickly exchanged glances with Yan Mo, but the latter didn't understand what was going on with the sudden demon power, and shook his head rather puzzled.

Qi Jingyu's eyes were cold and dark, his brows could not help but tighten, and he murmured in a voice that was almost talking to himself: "Could it be that I was thinking wrong?"

"What do you mean?" Yan Mo asked.

Qi Jingyu said: "That inner ghost is neither Chi Xiu nor Qingci, but it is in the tea house on the other side..."

Yan Mo was puzzled: "How is this possible? The Bi'an Tea House is so tightly protected by you that even I can't easily break in, let alone a monster?!"

"It didn't break in, but was brought in." The five fingers resting on the armchair were clasped instantly, and the meridian on the back of the hand was violent. Qi Jingyu took a deep breath, and then "clicked" the golden nanmu's The armrest of the Taishi chair was crushed, "I was careless!"

After saying that, he stood up and disappeared in an instant, Yan Mo was stunned for a second, and followed closely after him.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the sky finally darkened, and the street lights in Nanluoguxiang turned on. Xing Yi rushed out of the pawn shop and ran straight towards the tea house on the other side.

Suddenly, the snow-white beast shadow of the nine-tailed demon fox appeared out of thin air, laying in front of Xing Yi, and said in Qi Jingyu's voice, "Come."

Xing Yi turned over with one hand and stepped onto the fox's back, followed by Sanhua civet cat kicking up its limbs and jumping up.

"Jing Yu, I don't understand what you mean." Yan Mo said, "Who brought that monster in?"

Xing Yi heard the clue, and said to Qi Jingyu, "You know?"

Qi Jingyu said: "It's just speculation, it has yet to be confirmed."

The demon power diverged, alienated into an illusion to hide its figure, the nine-tailed fox rushed into the alley, and quickly passed in front of small restaurants that were open with lights.

"We were all careless. Xing Yi himself carried a wisp of Suzaku soul in order to use the characteristic of resonating with the bloodline to locate the location of the Phoenix soul. His special nature determines that those who walk with him cannot be without problems!"

"The child who was transformed into a mermaid?" Yan Mo doubted, "It's impossible, it has been full of variables since he entered the door, and Chongye couldn't have calculated that you would send him back to the association, let alone expect that We will meet by chance at an auction in the future..."

"That's right, none of these things are possible." Qi Jingyu said, "But there is one exception—"

"That puppet." Xing Yi said in a cold voice, "Chongye is sure that according to Du Qiu's personality, he will wait for the opportunity to let go of the puppet, and as a demon-subduing master, there is a very high chance that the little demon will survive alone. Low, so nine out of ten will leave it in the tea house?"

Qi Jingyu said: "It is also possible to implant this order into the child's thinking more directly. This level of bewitching is easy for high-level monsters."

"There is still something that doesn't make sense." Yan Mo said, "The enchantment around the teahouse on the other side is heavily protected, so if there is a ghost, how can the ghost enter the teahouse without triggering the enchantment alarm?"

"This is also what I didn't figure out." Qi Jingyu said.

Xing Yi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Do you still remember that you can let those monsters freely come and go in and out of the enchantment you personally set up?"

Qi Jingyu: "The Bi'an Tea House has never been a place to welcome guests. Even the demons who come to visit must be approved before entering, so the only ones who are not affected by the enchantment are me and the remaining three—"

Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly.

Xing Yi noticed this unnatural pause, and was about to ask, when he heard the civet cat beside him say, "Jing Yu, you have four apprentices."
