One emperor through the ages?White-haired loli!

"Yes, yes!" Zhu Jiuli nodded again and again, "I still have a collection library, where there are more crystals, but they are all gone."

"Take me to see."

The fat man took Yan Lu to the upper floor of the villa. During the period, Yan Lu saw a woman coming down the stairs, and called Zhu Jiuli worriedly, and the latter stretched out his arms to hug her, and after saying a few words of relief, he went away. Continue to take Yan Lu to the collection library.

Regarding this, Yan Lu kept an eye on his nose, his nose, his nose and his heart, and told himself not to associate this woman with the three words "wives" that Zhu Jiuli said just now.

"Here we are, this is it."

The two of them came to a vault door, and Zhu Jiuli explained while inputting the password: "I spent a lot of time building this collection vault. The earthquake almost destroyed most of the house. Basically nothing happened to this fresh-keeping vault." ,but……"

The man shook his head helplessly: "I don't know how those Yuanling crystals didn't fall."

Yan Lu stepped into the collection warehouse. Apart from the paintings and calligraphy that she couldn't understand, there were also many antiques. In the deepest part, there was a row of empty display shelves. Presumably, it was the place where Yuanling crystals were stored.

"Mr. Zhu, are you sure that all the crystals in there are Yuanling crystals?"

"determine."

"At the same time, is it also the kind of defective product that is just for viewing?"

"It's not easy for me to buy pure Yuanling crystals. Our country is quite strict about it."

Zhu Jiuli looked at the empty display shelves, the panic in his eyes was greater than the pain in his heart.

Money is nothing to him now, otherwise how could he directly ask Yan Lu to solve the problem with a price of 100 million?As long as this problem can be solved, he is willing to evaporate another 100 yuan of Yuanling crystal, because if he can't solve it, he is afraid that he will go crazy the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Looking at Yan Lu who was standing in front of the display stand with his frowning and silent, Zhu Jiuli asked anxiously: "Miss Yan, you, you... do you have any clues?"

In the lengthy silence that made Zhu Jiuli more frightened and anxious, Yan Lu suddenly gave him an answer that made him ecstatic: "There are some."

"Please tell me, please tell me!" Zhu Jiuli's eyes widened, and the bloodshot eyes in his eyes made this rich-looking fat middle-aged man a little scary, "I can increase the price, as long as it can be resolved as soon as possible, I can add hundreds of thousands more. Follow you!"

"My initial thought was that someone had put a spell on you to cause stress every day, anxiety and nightmares at night."

Yan Lu said slowly: "But Mr. Zhu, tell me that you haven't encountered any suspicious people in the countryside. And if the other party has a method that can directly put you into a nightmare remotely, he doesn't have to wait until the end of the earthquake in Junmi City to do so. , because this node is meaningless and cannot trigger any chain reaction."

"And at the same time... it is definitely not something a human can do to absorb this defective Yuanling crystal until there is nothing left."

"So I regard this inference as a mistake for the time being, and... suddenly have another idea."

She looked at Zhu Jiuli and asked softly, "Mr. Zhu, do you know Yuanling creatures?"

"Original spirit...creature?" Zhu Jiuli was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied, "It's the kind of very rare creature that resembles immortal beasts and beasts in the era of cultivating immortals. I know... ah!"

The man looked at Yan Lu in disbelief: "Miss Yan, you mean... I, I was entangled by Yuanling creatures?"

"This creature is sensitive to changes in Yuan Ling and nature."

Yan Lu folded his arms around his chest: "Although they usually stay in the deep mountains and old forests with strong Yuanling, it is not surprising that an earthquake of the magnitude of Junmi City occurred, and it is not surprising to escape from the deep mountains. Maybe it was injured in the earthquake , and Mr. Zhu, you happen to be not a cultivator, and you have Yuanling crystals on your body. Although it is not pure enough, it is better than nothing for Yuanling creatures."

"Mr. Zhu, you are not a cultivator, which means that you are safe enough, and at the same time you can get Yuanling from you, so naturally you may follow you."

The more Zhu Jiuli listened, the more he felt that what Yan Lu said was reasonable, and he said excitedly: "What about the nightmare! What is the nightmare?"

"Nightmare... not very clear. If my deduction just now is correct, then the nightmare is likely to be some kind of ability of it. Maybe it wants to manipulate you to keep absorbing Yuanling."

Yan Lu's words made Zhu Jiuli's face turn pale again, and the woman had no choice but to say something comforting: "What I just said is just an inference, and the information available now is too limited, so I can only deduce a slightly reasonable explanation from these news. , and based on this, if Mr. Zhu has any other information, I can narrow the scope and make it more precise."

"However... we might as well test it out according to the deduction just now."

Yan Lu took out his mobile phone and dialed someone's number.

"Hello? Miss Ji, um, it's me... Hehe, are you still busy there? Ah, it's quite relaxed, very good."

"By the way, I have something to ask you, I urgently need a Yuanling crystal, can you tell me..."

"... Huh? I can just go to the Repairs Bureau directly? They will give it? The phone number of the Director of the Repairs Bureau... Wait... Okay, I'll write it down, thank you, Miss Ji."

Zhu Jiuli was shocked by the news revealed in the few words of Yan Lu's conversation—directly contact the Repair and Management Bureau?The number of the director of repairs?What kind of fairy did I invite?

But Yan Lu didn't think too much about it, she quickly contacted Nan Zhenjun, and after the other party readily agreed, she waited for a small portion of Yuanling crystal to arrive.

After an hour or so, the staff of the Repair and Management Bureau brought over a small bottle, which was the smallest portion of Yuanling Crystal requested by Yan Lu.

"very good……"

Yan Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, shook the bottle, and the crystals collided with the bottle wall, making a crisp sound.

"Since you are greedy, let's see if you will fall for such a simple trick."

Chapter 160 – The Tiger and the Sparrow

After the preparations were done, Yan Lu searched Zhu Jiuli's villa back and forth three times, and almost stripped the land, but still found nothing.

——In this villa, apart from Zhu Jiuli's family, there is no trace of any other biological activities.

"Your inference...Although it is hasty, but at present, there is no other possibility."

On the lawn in the front yard of the villa, Yan Lu, looking up at the night sky, listened to the voice of his friend on the phone, and replied: "Our employer needs a definite answer."

The woman turned her head to look at the brightly lit villa. She was afraid that none of the lights were turned off. She shook her head and said, "If you don't give him a confirmation letter, I'm afraid he's going crazy."

"Are you sure you can catch the key to the problem tonight?"

"It's hard to say..."

Yan Lu sighed deeply: "I'm not a god, so how can I deduce anything with just such a little information? Anyway, from the current point of view, this Mr. Zhu was either raped by his opponent, or he was on vacation in the countryside. , provoked something... I said Qingjue, there should be no ghosts in this world, right?"

Although he swore to Zhu Jiuli that there were no so-called ghosts in this world, the weirdness of this case still made Yan Lu somewhat suspicious.

"There is no such thing as a soul that is not attached to the body and does not dissipate. If it exists, there is only one possibility - the soul body is already strong enough to control the primordial spirit without relying on the body to maintain its own existence. A cultivator of this level... is also the top in the era of cultivating immortals."

Lian Qingjue said indifferently: "If there is such a soul body, no matter whether he pushed his cultivation base to this unimaginable level after the primordial spirit faded by his own ability, or an ancient monster who has lived from thousands of years ago to modern times, I will It is more recommended that you wait to die."

The eldest girl was angry: "You heartless thing, you want me to die for 20 whores for nothing!?"

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, he suddenly said, "That's right, why don't you make a will now, and the beneficiary will fill it in for me."

The mature and steady Ms. Yan Lu greeted her best friend cordially, and hung up the phone without giving any chance to fight back.

"...Hmph, an ancient monster from thousands of years ago?"

The woman smiled disdainfully: "I have a big baby in my family. I haven't seen anything in the world."

She glanced at the time, turned around and walked into Zhu Jiuli's villa.

At this moment, the fat man with a happy face was nervously pacing back and forth in the living room.

As soon as Yan Lu came in, he immediately showed joy: "Miss Yan, are you ready?"

"The preparations have been done a long time ago, and I don't have any problems." Yan Lu shrugged, "It just depends on whether the thing that steals all the Yuanling crystals in your house, Mr. Zhu, is worthy of cooperation."

"Then, what should I do then?" Zhu Jiuli kept turning the bead string in his hand, glanced at the messy pile of "exorcism objects" hanging and pasted in the living room, and asked extremely anxiously , "Don't you have to do anything?"

His other hand, which was hung with a gold bracelet, clenched subconsciously, the flesh on his chin trembled slightly, and his bloodshot eyeballs swept back and forth.

——It seemed that he really, really didn't want to experience that nightmare again.

Yan Lu replied very tactfully: "Mr. Zhu, what you can do... is very limited, so just do what you usually do."

"Of course, I have to tell you again in advance that the so-called 'yuanling creature' is just my inference. I can't be sure that it is the Yuanling creature that put Mr. Zhu and your family in trouble and stole those Yuanling crystals. You You have to be prepared...for nothing tonight."

If Yan Lu could be 80% sure that the culprit was the Yuanling creature, she would have already called the maintenance bureau and called a professional to deal with it. She would just stand by and get [-] for nothing. .

But because there is no trace and no proof, the Junmi City Repair Management Bureau, which is busy assigning repairers to carry out reconstruction work, has almost no resources for repairers at all, it is impossible for Yan Lu's baseless and unfounded If you infer, send a professional practitioner over.

"No gain...it's okay, it's okay...just for one night."

The speed of the man turning the bead string was so fast that Yan Lu could see his knuckles turning blue even if his fingers were fat. Zhu Jiu's skin trembled and he forced a smile and said, "Miss Yan, can you solve it quickly? It's ok ?”

"……I try my best."

It's only a few days, but it's only a few days, has it reached this point?

Yan Lu lamented the horror of the nightmare, and after instructing Zhu Jiuli again, he was ready to start hunting tonight.

The method is simple, even clumsy - put the Yuanling crystal sent by the Bureau of Repair and Management in the living room, and while the camera is set up, Yan Lu crouches in the dark, waiting for the other party to take the bait.

After all, with such limited information and conditions, it is impossible to come up with any clever plans.That mysterious existence would swallow Yuanling crystals, and even the residue of defective products, this is the only key information Yan Lu knows.

Until now, Yan Lu still can't figure it out, if it is a living thing, how can it swallow all those residues together?It's impossible to have a smelting furnace in the body, right?

If you are lucky, these doubts will be answered tonight. If you are unlucky, you can only let Mr. Zhu stay up for two more days.

At least, if the other party really needs Yuan Ling, then it will never let this crystal go.

The deep night announced the end of the day, and Junmi, who had been running tirelessly since the dawn, finally temporarily stopped burning its blood, and sent the dream to the cool and quiet evening wind.

Zhu Jiuli Villa is located in a very good location, the moonlight is like splashing ink, the whole house is shrouded in a light silver mist, and Yan Lujiu's figure is hidden in the mist, she is staring at the screen of the mobile phone, and the real time through the camera Monitor all movements in the living room.

It was also Zhu Jiuli who discovered the disappearance of the Yuanling Crystal yesterday, otherwise, even if he arranged surveillance or video recording a day in advance, the matter would have been several times easier.

The woman tapped the wall against her back with her index finger. Her dynamic vision, which was far beyond ordinary people, ensured that she could capture any abnormality in the living room even through a screen.

Yan Lu had already made preparations to squat all night without gaining anything at the very beginning. After all, time was short and there was no time to prepare. If the other party could take the bait, it would be too...

"!"

The scene displayed on the phone made Yan Lu's pupils shrink suddenly, and she saw... a cat?

The petite silhouette that emerged from the darkness was obviously a cat.

No, but... how is it possible?

Yan Lu has always been confident in her ability to search, not to mention her, the dog who has been specially trained to be a police dog at the gate of the villa has no problem at all, and this cat... just appeared out of thin air.

Is it really a Yuanling creature?Hit the jackpot?

There was no excitement or ecstasy in Yan Lu's heart at this time, but he became more cautious.

She took a deep breath, and while paying attention to the screen displayed on the phone, she began to move quietly into the living room.

Right now, from the point of view of maximizing the benefits, it should not alarm the cat, notify the repair and management bureau to come, and let professionals arrest this unknown Yuanling creature. After all, Yan Lu can't guarantee that he can absolutely Subdue it at the first time.

But... Yan Lu didn't intend to do that.

The state of Zhu Jiuli and his wives really didn't look like they could survive the night.

That man had nowhere to go in just a few days. To be honest... Judging from the state he showed, no matter how hysterical he was, it was normal. It was just that as an entrepreneur who had experienced great storms, his psychological quality was stronger than ordinary people. A little, but this level of strength can't help him much in the face of the unknown terror.

Maybe, maybe they can survive the night, Zhu Jiuli himself said that there should be no problem for one night, but Yan Lu doesn't want his employer to make such a sacrifice.

In addition to work ethic, there is empathy for the word "nightmare".

She may understand better than anyone else in the world how much Zhu Jiuli longs to get rid of that horrific and bloody dream of despair, so she will not make a choice from the perspective of interests.

Even if he failed to catch this primordial spirit creature, if he could startle it and drive it away, it would be regarded as fulfilling the commission.

There are very few Yuanling creatures... It should be said that they seem to have never appeared in areas where humans are active. They seem to have an innate tendency to stay away from humans.

In any case, its appearance is extremely abnormal.

If you need Yuanling... Since you are a Yuanling creature, why don't you find a place with plenty of Yuanling to absorb Yuanling, but sneak into the human activity area, even so miserable that even the defective Yuanling crystal used for viewing can be used? Can I go to the mouth?

It can even gnaw on that kind of thing, it should be in a state of extreme hunger, I wish Jiuli's family are ordinary people, Yan Lu must ensure that when a battle really breaks out, it can be subdued as soon as possible.

She squinted at the screen on the phone, and when she saw the cat hidden in the shadow approaching the exhibition cabinet and raised her head, as if absorbing the Yuanling crystal, she rushed into the living room in an instant, her feet erupted, But in the blink of an eye, he jumped up behind the cat, his eyes were cold and stern, he clawed with one hand without hesitation, and pressed down hard!

Click!

Yan Lu's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Damn!"

Five holes were poked out of the solid floor by Yan Lu's fingers, and the cat that she was supposed to hold down tightly... disappeared in an instant.

How can it be so fast?

Yan Lu has always been extremely confident in her physical fitness, even without borrowing that killing power, she is also extremely strong.

Not only did the cat escape from Yan Lu's attack, but its speed made her completely unresponsive.

"Did you escape..."

"escape?"

A faint girlish voice sounded behind Yan Lu.

The woman suddenly turned around and saw the cat squatting on the ground, looking at Yan Lu calmly.

By the moonlight, Yan Lu saw the appearance of the cat clearly——

——It's not a cat at all, it's... a tiger!

A black... cub.
