Changsheng: I will win my life with martial arts, and I will defeat the demons in this chaotic world

It was getting dark.

Lu Ren asked Wang Hao to go home first to avoid alerting the enemy.

He hid in the closet of the sisters' bedroom.

Lu Ren was originally worried that they would feel uncomfortable because of his presence.

It turned out that his worry was unnecessary.

After the eldest sister entered the room, she fell asleep with her clothes on, and her breathing was quite even.

The little girl lay beside her sister, but her eyes were fixed on the closet with a crack.

After a long time, she couldn't help but whispered:"Master Lu, are you asleep?"

Lu Ren:"........"

I'm here to investigate demons, not to sleep.

Besides, who would sleep in a closet in a pair of sisters' boudoirs?

If they want to sleep, they should squeeze together and sleep on the bed.........

"No." Lu Ren finally gave up complaining and replied calmly.

"oh......."The girl dragged out a long sound, and it seemed that she could not find a topic to continue the awkward conversation. She had to force herself to close her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Until midnight, there was still no movement in the room.

Lu Ren frowned and whispered to himself:"Oh no, the demon's target is Li Laosi's house!"

According to some details mentioned by Wang Hao, the exact time of the disappearance of the previous group of girls was concentrated around midnight.

According to the description of the families of the missing, they all suddenly heard strange noises coming from the house. After getting up to check, they found that their daughter's room was a little messy and the people were missing.

So, midnight is a critical time point.

With his current insight, if there is a demon approaching within a hundred steps, he will definitely be able to sense it.

But nothing happened.

Lu Ren walked out of the closet lightly, without waking up the two sleeping sisters, and after quietly leaving, he rushed to Li Laosi's house at full speed.

When there was still some distance, Lu Ren saw that Li Laosi's house was brightly lit, and several people gathered outside the door.

""Damn it!"

Lu Ren realized that he was still a step late.

There was no way, he was alone and couldn't squat in two households at the same time.

He was not sure if there was any pattern in the demons kidnapping people, so he could only choose one of the two.

As it turned out, his judgment was wrong.

But there was nothing he could do about it.

The attitude of Li Laosi's family really displeased him.

He couldn't be so thick-skinned as to beg them to protect them.

Lu Ren's mission this time was only to investigate the truth and eradicate the demons.

Protecting the people was just a side job, not his top priority.

Seeing Li Laosi and his wife crying and complaining to their neighbors at the door and asking for help, Lu Ren couldn't help but sneer.

Two idiots!

Weren't they arrogant when they drove themselves away before?

Now that their daughter has been kidnapped by demons, do you feel distressed?

Lu Ren didn't have any sympathy for such irresponsible parents. He just felt sorry for their innocent daughter.

But now it's important to complete the test.

Lu Ren stepped forward and asked Li Laosi,"When did your daughter disappear, and what did you hear or see at that time?"

Li Laosi glanced at him, then knelt down in front of Lu Ren with a plop.

"Master Lu, I was confused and I harmed my daughter..........Please, please save her........"

A trace of disgust flashed across Lu Ren's eyes, but reason told him that now was not the time to pursue responsibility.

"Answer my question."

Li Laosi nodded repeatedly, wiping his tears and saying,"About half an hour ago, when I got up at night, I heard my daughter's voice coming from the yard.

When I chased her out, she was gone."

Lu Ren asked coldly,"Did you see the demon's face clearly?"

"No." Li Laosi shook his head:"It was too dark outside, I couldn't see anything clearly, only a vague outline."

He gestured to Lu Ren.

"That guy was very tall and burly, like a wild beast in the mountains. He carried my daughter on his shoulders and disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Lu Ren captured several key information points from Li Laosi's words.

Tall, like a wild beast, fast.

These clues all point to the real culprit behind the scenes as a demon.

"Look for any clues in the village."

After that, Lu Ren followed the direction indicated by Li Laosi.

The demon would come to kidnap people every night, which meant that his place of residence would not be too far from Shiling Village.

Fortunately, the interval was not very long. If he chased after him now, he might be able to avoid a tragedy.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the words and deeds of Li Laosi and his wife.

But their daughter was innocent after all, and he could not watch her being harmed by the demon.

However, not long after he chased out of Shiling Village, Lu Ren suddenly stopped.

He realized something was wrong.

First of all, if according to what Li Laosi said, it was a large demon that kidnapped his daughter, it would definitely leave obvious footprints along the way.

But he looked around and there was no trace.

This is not the most critical point.

The biggest doubt is that Li Laosi He was rude to him at first and then respectful.

When he went to his house to explain his purpose, Li Laosi showed an indifferent attitude.

He kicked him out without any explanation.

How could such a person who didn't care about his daughter's life and death suddenly be so respectful to him, even kneeling down to beg him humbly?

The two faces of this person were so contrasting that Lu Ren had to calm down and think again.

Why did Li Laosi lie to him and lead him to the wrong path?

What was he covering up?

That's right!

Lu Ren recalled a piece of information that Wang Hao mentioned.

Li Laosi and his wife gave birth to their daughter because their son died early.

But Shiling Village is a typical village that favors boys over girls.

Obviously, Li Laosi and his family hope to have a son.

In their eyes, a daughter is just a money-loser.���

This can explain their indifference to their daughter's safety.

As for Li Laosi's complaints and prayers just now, now thinking about it carefully, it is likely that they were done intentionally to confuse Lu Ren's investigation direction.

Lu Ren's eyes turned cold in an instant, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

This is simply a self-directed and self-acted scam!!! There was no involvement of demons from beginning to end!

They just borrowed the name of demons to scare others, so that those who have a sense of justice dare not intervene in the investigation.

And behind this, there is actually a ridiculous scandal of parents reselling their own daughters!

If I guessed correctly, these missing girls were sold by their biological parents to some rich and powerful people or organizations in exchange for a considerable reward.

Demons are just a cover to confuse the world.
