Survive, the rules of rebirth for the villain witch

Chapter 188 It turns out to be this little trick

“Rumors are not always rumors.”

Youhuang didn't take it too seriously. In this world where humans, immortals, demons and monsters live together, no matter how strange something is, it could be true.

When Shen Zhaojun heard her daughter's words, she was startled and said, "Huang'er, mother doesn't understand the affairs of the cultivation world, but I always feel that there are a lot of strange things this year. Is something bad going to happen?"

"As the country's fortunes decline, chaos will emerge."

In other words, the chaos is not particularly severe this year, but you simply could not encounter it before.

Nanny Chen came in with a food box and said, "Madam, Madam Zhao from the Quling Marquis's residence wants to see you. She's already outside the gate. Madam, please see her or not."

"Mrs. Zhao is here to ask for an audience at this hour, most likely because of her brother's matter." Shen Zhaojun glanced at his daughter and said, "Huang'er, are you willing to meet her and find the murderer who killed Mrs. Zhao's brother?"

Thinking of Captain Lin's words, You Huang said calmly, "Captain Lin said that His Majesty intends to protect him, and my daughter cannot overstep her bounds."

Shen Zhaojun understood what his daughter meant. After thinking carefully, he said, "Go out and tell Madam Zhao that the case has been decided and there is nothing that can be done to save the situation. Please ask her to take good care of herself and wait for the next day."

"Old slave understands."

Nanny Chen opened the food box and placed a large bowl of mutton stewed with yam in front of Youhuang.

Youhuang said "thank you" and lowered her head to take a sip of the soup, but she almost burned her tongue and it hurt so much that tears rolled down her cheeks.

"You kid..." Shen Zhaojun looked at the embarrassed appearance, feeling both pained and amused. He poured a glass of cold water and said, "Take a sip of cold water, be careful not to burn your mouth. You won't be able to speak tomorrow."

You Huang took a sip of the cold water and waited until he recovered before spitting it into the spittoon beside him.

Xuan Bing happened to bring some casual clothes for her to change into, so You Huang had a chance to eat. When Chu Ce came back, it was already dark, and seeing her there, he asked, "Did anything happen at Gong Xue today?"

"The faculty cafeteria collapsed, and one person is suspected to be missing." You Huang answered in summary, and then asked in return: "How did Dad know?"

"When I came back, I saw Mr. Yan and Captain Lin went to the night market." Chu Ce looked at his daughter and said, "How could the faculty and staff canteen collapse for no reason?"

"It happened without any warning." You Huang described the situation at that time and said, "By the time I came to my senses, I had already fallen to the ground. Later, Mr. Yan pulled me outside, and just as we ran out, the cafeteria collapsed. At first I thought it was an earthquake, but it turned out that the earthquake was limited to the faculty cafeteria, and nothing happened in other places."

"There was no evidence left at the scene. I don't think it was man-made." Chu Ce looked at his daughter and asked, "What do you think? What could have done such a thing?"

"There are many inhuman things, and demon cultivators are just one of them." You Huang thought carefully and said, "There are also demons and ghosts, but no demonic energy, demonic energy, or ghost energy was found at the crime scene, unless some magical tool was used to hide the aura."

Isn’t the magical weapon that can conceal aura the Tianzha? But the Tianzha is clearly worn on Xue Zun’s face, so there shouldn’t be a second Tianzha.

"Huang'er, do you remember in Building No. 1..." Shen Zhaojun suddenly said excitedly, "That mask that can change its shape, maybe the murderer used that thing as a cover."

"I have an impression of it, but I don't remember who bought it."

You Huang thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Xu Sibai later. He should have the records."

After dinner, Youhuang returned to his room and sent a sound transmission note to Xu Sibai: Fellow Daoist Xu, strange things happened frequently in Tiandu today. I suspect that the other party used a magical tool to conceal their aura. Can you tell me who bought the mask in Building No. 1 last time?

Xu Sibai received the sound transmission note very quickly. After listening to it, he said with a smile: "Xue Zun, I didn't expect that the little girl thought the same as you. You both suspected that it was related to the mask."

Xue Zun stroked the mask on his face and said, "Everyone knows that the Heavenly Cover is a divine weapon that conceals one's aura and suppresses one's cultivation, but few people know that the divine weapon is composed of a set of twelve masks. The one on my face is just one of the masks."

"Gong Xue did find evidence that someone was dragged underground, but we don't know if he's dead or alive."

Xu Sibai paused here and said, "Chu Youhuang was also present at the time. She didn't even notice anything when the incident happened. It seems that the other party's cultivation is quite good."

Xue Zun thought about it carefully and said, "The earth escape technique is not a profound technique. It's just that the other party has hidden his aura, which makes things unbelievable. Tiandu is such a small place, so we can try another way to solve it."

"What method?" Xu Sibai asked

"Find someone." Xue Zun thought for a moment and said, "If we can't find the perpetrator, then find the victim."

"Find the recipient." Xu Sibai hesitated and said, "Do we need to use the backtracking technique to review the situation at that time, or directly summon the spirit."

"Let's go through both." Xue Zun said and disappeared into the house. Xu Sibai had already gotten used to it and sighed, "This kind of thing... I can actually do it."

The palace school at night is always so quiet that it's a little scary.

Because strange things have happened frequently recently, the people on night patrol at Gongxue rarely leave the duty room.

Xue Zun and You Huang had been here once, but that time they went to the West Pavilion. This time they went to the dining hall which was exactly the opposite, and such a dining hall was in the fourth seat of the Palace School.

But it was not difficult to find a collapsed building in mid-air. Xue Zun slowly descended from the sky, stood in front of the ruins and began to perform the backtracking technique, starting from lunch time when faculty and staff came in one after another.

Suddenly Youhuang appeared in the scene, and a hint of doubt flashed in Xue Zun's eyes.

In the video, You Huang followed the two gentlemen and sat there talking and laughing. He, who always liked to keep all the food to himself, took the initiative to push his fish over to them for them to taste.

When everyone was eating, suddenly everyone flew away from their seats for unknown reasons, and Chu Youhuang was no exception and sat down on the ground.

When I came back to my senses from the shock and was about to say something, a gentleman grabbed my arm and pulled me up and ran outside. Then the canteen collapsed.

No matter from which angle you look at it, it looks like an earthquake.

But this is only the situation in the dining hall, we also need to look at the situation in the kitchen.

Xue Zun recalled the scene in the kitchen. Everyone was at their respective posts, talking and laughing with smiles on their faces. His eyes fell on a young man who was packing up knives.

The young man had a simple and honest look on his face, and he had a shy smile on his face, as if he had heard something interesting.

A black vortex suddenly appeared behind him. A pair of pale arms stretched out from the vortex, grabbed the young man's shoulders and pulled him into the vortex.

"So it's this little trick."

Xue Zun showed a sarcastic smile on his face.

The hole in the ground and the evidence buried deep underground are nothing but a cover for the murderer.

"Who's there?"

Suddenly a questioning voice was heard, and Xue Zun turned around to look.

It happened to be the gentleman who came in with Youhuang. He didn't want to deal with mortals, so he immediately disappeared.
