Guardian of the Spirit

Chapter 22 Don't thank me

Realizing that they were off topic, the three of them quickly returned to the topic.

As for Ji Lingxi, as Jiang Yuan said, if something goes wrong with her, Togepi will be the first one to explode, so there is no need to worry for the time being.

After finishing the note, Jiang Yuan asked: "I said before that the body was missing, but you didn't seem too surprised. What happened?"

Chen Ban and Tang Yi fell silent for a moment.

"Because this is the third case of a missing body." Xu Tianchang walked in from the outside. He stared at Jiang Yuan, exhaled from his nose, and clenched his hands into fists.

Xu Tianchang suppressed the anger in his heart, tried to stay calm, and said: "If you had said it earlier, or made it clear directly, wouldn't Gao Zheng have died?"

Gao Zheng was the tall police officer who was beside Xu Tianchang when Jiang Yuan first entered the police station. He was suspected of being controlled by the dream demon and later died.

It seems that Xu Tianchang came to ask for help.

"Why do you all regard superpowers as omnipotent gods? When trouble comes, superpowers come and take all the blame?" Jiang Yuan asked rhetorically.

"I am a person first, and then I am a person with super powers."

Xu Tianchang gritted his teeth. As long as the law existed, he could not do anything to Jiang Yuan, and he also knew very well that superpowers were not omnipotent, not to mention that Jiang Yuan was only a sixteen-year-old high school student.

However, it is really hard to accept that the person who was alive and kicking next to him one second was dead the next second.

Reason told him to calm down.

Xu Tianchang left without saying a word. Chen Ban looked at his back, sighed, and said: "It's actually very difficult for Xu Tianchang to do. His colleague died unexpectedly, and he had to work hard. The dream monster is so arrogant, and he can't do it."

To bring it to justice, he didn’t know how much pressure he was under.”

In less than a week, in addition to the man who died in the car accident and police officer Gao Zheng of the ghost department, three more attacks by ghost-type elves occurred in this city.

There are as many as seven missing people. The three people in the first case and the two people in the second case were neither alive nor dead. In the third case that just happened, Jiang Yuaneng confirmed that the two missing girls were dead.

Through technical investigation, the police were able to determine that these things were all caused by the same elf, the Dream Demon.

The specific purpose of the attack is unknown, but everyone speculates that the dream demon is not simply sucking souls to fill its stomach.

The specific group of people attacked is unknown. Those attacked include adults and students. There is no fixed target and the number of people is random.

After learning the details, Jiang Yuan was surprised and said: "Seven more people died?"

This dream monster is too rampant. It attacks ordinary people under the nose of the ghost department, sucks out souls and takes away corpses. Its nature is not ordinary bad, it is already a door-to-door provocation.

To be able to support such a arrogant crime, the dream monster needs to be quite strong, otherwise it would have been captured by the police of the ghost department.

It seems that his guess at the time was correct. The Dream Demon was caught simply pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. Now he has thrown away the script and stopped acting, and stopped playing house with the weak.

"Hey, hey, what do you mean seven more died? Don't talk nonsense. The only ones whose deaths can be temporarily confirmed are the two missing girls, and you confirmed it." Chen Ban quickly waved his hand.

He said so, but in fact Chen Ban knew very well in his heart that those five people were probably already in danger.

The eyewitnesses of the five people saw them fall to the ground at that time, but they could not confirm whether they were dead. Before the witnesses could get closer, the five people were taken away by the dream demon.

Jiang Yuan is a person with super powers and is proficient in raising ghost elves. He can confirm that the two missing girls died when their souls disappeared, which means they are really dead.

The other five people were in exactly the same situation as the two girls. Plus, after so many days, no one was alive or dead, and no one was dead. Everyone knew what the result would be.

"You can understand by absorbing souls and taking away corpses..."

As if thinking of something disgusting, Tang Yi covered his mouth and retched.

"Absorb the life energy that has not been dissipated and squeeze out the last bit of use value."

Jiang Yuan didn't shy away from it and said bluntly: "It just doesn't make sense. The dream demon had that time to take away the soul. Why didn't it just suck away the life energy and take away the body instead? It's simply unnecessary."

The attack by the Dream Demon is full of doubts. Based on the information currently known, we really can’t figure out the real purpose of the Dream Demon and what it wants to do.

"you……"

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know." Jiang Yuan said the important things three times.

"..."

He hasn’t asked yet!

Jingle bells.

There was a call. After Chen Ban answered it, he looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "Those two girls have woken up. Their memories were interrupted not long after you arrived."

"As for what I said before you arrived, I told you that the four of them went up the mountain to play and encountered the Dream Demon, and then released the elves to resist. The four elves were too weak and were killed instantly, and the two companions also died on the spot."

"Then can I go?" Jiang Yuan put Zhu Guangling, who had just said something wrong and was beaten black and blue by Togepi, on his shoulder.

If possible, Jiang Yuan really doesn't want to stay in the situation.

"Uh...the two of them said they wanted to thank you for saving them."

"?????"

The police officers at the hospital explained to the survivors Zhang Xin and Xu Yiya that Jiang Yuan was trapped in the illusion by the dream monster and could not save himself and could not save them.

However, the two girls agreed that if Jiang Yuan had not arrived, there was no telling what would have happened later. At least things had turned around due to Jiang Yuan's arrival, and they must thank Jiang Yuan.

In response to this, Jiang Yuan expressed some discomfort and panic.

He didn't want to save Zhang Xin and Xu Yiya at all, otherwise he would have broken the illusion and fought with the dream monster. It's so weird for the two of them to thank him now.

Chen Ban and Tang Yi talked hard and persuaded Jiang Yuan. Before leaving, a person with superpowers rushed to the police station and checked Jiang Yuan specifically to prevent him from having any sequelae caused by the illusion of the dream monster.

The superpower originally wanted to check on Ji Lingxi by the way, but was strongly rejected by Togepi, and he no longer insisted.

Chen Ban brought Jiang Yuan to the hospital, while Tang Yi stayed in the station to take care of the sleeping Ji Lingxi. Originally, they wanted to bring Ji Lingxi with them, but Bogebi tried his best to stop them, so they had to give up.

Entering the ward, the smell of disinfectant lingered on the tip of the nose. There was a girl leaning on the pillow on each of the two beds, talking to the police officers. When they saw Jiang Yuan arriving, they were very excited and thanked him when they came up.

The parents of Zhang Xin and Xu Yiya also kept thanking Jiang Yuan. If Jiang Yuan had not arrived in time, their daughters would probably have died at the hands of the dream monster.

"Don't thank me. I didn't do anything. You should thank the girl who was traveling with you. What's her name? Ji Lingxi, right? Go thank her. She was the one who called the police."

The parents of the two girls looked at Jiang Yuan as if they were their parents again. Jiang Yuan couldn't stand it. He really didn't do anything. He had to tell him this several times.
