I’m a Witch In Dongying

"you could put it that way."

Bai Shuiqiu nodded, "However, the situation of these people is more complicated than the puppets we encountered at the White Lotus Sect assembly before.

I suspect that these guys are all eroded by the power of black mud, just like the white lotus religious master, so they can use such a formation. And...the way they were eroded may be related to "holy water". "

"Holy... water?"

"Well, it's the kind of water that the White Lotus Sect gave all believers to drink at the Lantern Mountain rally. Officer Li Jian, you should still have an impression, right?"

The few people present, except Keiko Kashiro, were almost all witnesses to the Lantern Mountain rally event.

After being reminded by Bai Shuiqiu, Li Jiancheng gradually remembered, and Jiufeng Ziyuan also frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

Bai Shuiqiu paused for a while, then continued to speak.

This guess was suddenly born when she saw the black oily substance in those humanoids just now.

In the past, the power of the white lotus religious master to summon the black mud was through "psychic rituals", which in layman's terms means "please the gods."

After the success of the ceremony, the guy directly changed from the original human form to the shape of a small mud monster shaped like black mud.

The few people who appeared in the classroom, although they also used a similar formation, the effect was far less than the former.

If it is said that the sect master has the "blessing" of the black mud because of his high status as a disciple of the great sage of the white lotus, so he has the qualification to summon the latter's power, then, what about the rest of these people?

It's impossible. These seven people of different ages and identities have all had close contact with the black mud, right?

If the answer is no, then the only way for them to get the power of the black mud is to rally.

Moreover, it must be a gathering related to Lantern Mountain or the Great Sage of the White Lotus Sect——

The latter, as the first person to come into contact with the power of the black mud, and who has an unclear relationship with the Jiuju faction, is probably also an evil cultivator, with abilities similar to those of the black mud.

Consider it from this perspective...

The most suspicious thing is, of course, the "holy water" that the White Lotus Sect compelled believers to drink before each meeting.

"I understand what you mean, Xiaoqiu."

Jiufeng Ziyuan was the first to react, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "From what we have learned before, all those who have participated in the White Lotus Sect gathering have drank the "Holy Water" prepared by the White Lotus Sect senior management , and only those who drank the "holy water" would be allowed to participate in the following gatherings.

If this "holy water" contains the power of black mud, even the "holy water" itself is taken from the black pool at the top of Lantern Mountain...

Then in theory, all the followers of the White Lotus Religion who have participated in the assembly have the power of black mud in their bodies, and as the source of this power, the black mud must have a way to stimulate them. "

This ability is not uncommon among high-level monsters.

For example, Rain Girl once gave her umbrella to Bai Shuiqiu, and by virtue of the power stored in the umbrella, she helped her survive the assassination of Ghost Shu Ayaka.

And the "seed" left in her body by Rain Girl is actually more similar to this one, but the effect is diametrically opposite.

Furthermore……

Not just "holy water".

It is very likely that even those "elixirs" refined by the White Lotus Sect are related to the black mud——

Bai Shuiqiu once heard Songping Kenji say that the great sage Bailian would refine many kinds of medicinal pills with different effects, such as medicinal medicinal herbs to treat diseases, medicinal medicinal herbs to restore physical strength, and medicinal medicinal medicinal herbs to stimulate the ability in that area...

She was originally very strange, how the White Lotus Sage, the leader of the Eastern Ying cult, mastered the alchemy technique that was relatively common in Huaxia Taoism.

Not to mention, this great sage really "touched" a paralyzed elder of the Matsudaira family out of bed back then.

In the eyes of ordinary people who don't know the truth, this kind of thing is already a "miracle", but even in the eyes of practitioners, it is quite incredible, at least the "Pure Heart Talisman" in Bai Shuiqiu's hand is impossible to cure the paralysis for many years. disease.

But if you think about it in another way, if these "elixirs" are made from the "flesh and blood" of black mud...

Then it's easy to understand.

Because the flesh and blood of the black mud contains a lot of demon power, and if the demon power erodes the human body in large quantities, it will turn the human into a monster-like existence, and if it invades the human body in a small amount...

Then in theory, it can act on a certain part of the human body, so as to achieve the effect of curing disease or enhancing ability.

In other words, it "seems" to achieve the effect, because the power of black mud is essentially a very erosive thing, even if it can temporarily bring benefits to the body, there will inevitably be corresponding disadvantages.

Based on the current situation, this disadvantage is probably...

"Through the "psychic ritual", the person who contains the power of black mud in the body is turned into a monster like just now? "

Following the analysis of Bai Shuiqiu and Jiufeng Shion, Li Jiancheng and others also vaguely understood.

Keiko Kashiro seemed to think of something, and his lips moved, but when the words came to his lips, he did not say them.

There was silence in the classroom for a moment.

For a time, everyone shuddered—

How many people have drank "holy water"?

According to the information obtained before, the White Lotus Sect holds a large gathering about every six months, using "holy water" to "purify" its followers.

Even if a large part of the people at each meeting are repeat participants, and some may have died, after 20 to 30 years, there will always be at least a few thousand people.

In addition, there should be hundreds of people who have taken the "Medicine" made by the White Lotus Sage, and almost all of this group are people with rich wealth like the Matsudaira family...

This is only Chiba Prefecture. Ibaraki Prefecture is the home of the White Lotus Sect. The number of gatherings held there will only increase in number and the number of participants each time.

Even considering the limited amount of "holy water" provided by the White Lotus Sect for believers to take at each meeting, it is impossible that all those who drink it will be corroded by the black mud to such an extent, but it is assumed that among these people, there are five one part...

No, 1 in 10, or even 1 in 50, can activate the "Holy Water" in their bodies like these seven in the classroom, which is also a huge number.

more importantly……

These believers have long been scattered in various cities in Chiba Prefecture, Ibaraki Prefecture, and even Tokyo. If there are "seven-person circles" like this classroom in other places, then the response team will The troubles faced may be far more terrifying than originally expected.

"What shall we do now?"

Li Jiancheng was also silent for a moment, then looked around the classroom.

"Well……"

Bai Shuiqiu hesitated.

At this time, Jiufeng Ziyuan next to him spoke again: "The first thing is to find a way to investigate their identities, they will stay in the school at this time, and look at the school's roster to see which people are missing. Just do it.

Even if the roster can't be found, at least Xiaoqiu still remembers the looks of these people, and it's good to help identify them. "

"clear."

Li Jiancheng also nodded.

After all, he is also an "old" policeman who has handled many cases. Not long ago, he just dealt with the "Second World" incident at Qinggang Station, so although he was shocked by Bai Shuiqiu's guess, he returned quickly. God came and began to think calmly: "The matter that Mr. Jiufeng said may not be done today, because the school staff of Qingshan Middle School have already left the school, and it is not realistic to call them up to ask for the roster... "

"It doesn't matter, I'm just making a suggestion. How to do it depends on your inner police plan."

Jiufeng Ziyuan shrugged and continued: "Then the second thing is to investigate all the believers of the White Lotus Sect who have participated in the Lantern Mountain assembly and control them.

This is a larger workload, and if it is to be done, it may also require the cooperation of the entire countermeasure team and the Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters. "

Ok……

This is more difficult to implement.

The list of the meeting can be obtained from the stolen goods and the interrogation of Dachuan and other White Lotus Sect cadres, but it is impossible to control everyone.

Because these people cover all strata of the society, some of them are quite high-class people, it is unrealistic to arrest them all at once, and it is even more unrealistic or even impossible to send someone to follow them. More importantly, even if they can be arrested They caught them all, and they didn't know what method to use to expel the "holy water" from their bodies.

After all, these people have already drank this thing several months ago, and I am afraid it has already penetrated into every corner of the body...

If there is any way to get rid of the dirty things in their bodies at one time, you can try the tough method of direct capture, and then ask Jiufeng Ziyuan to do a unified operation to erase the memory...

Bai Shuiqiu thought so, and planned to contact Fujiwara Nanami and Asakura Rie to discuss it as soon as possible to see if the Asakura family had any good solutions.

And Jiufeng Ziyuan has already talked about the last third thing: "The third and more important thing, we must immediately go to another newly discovered "Yin Qi Dense Spot" detected before to verify Let's see if your guess is accurate.

If the Jiuju faction and the black mud really used this method, then we must take measures as soon as possible.

When similar things start to appear frequently, I am afraid it will be too late. "

"makes sense……"

Bai Shuiqiu sighed.

To be honest, what happened today really made her feel very troublesome.

But at the same time, I'm a little fortunate.

Bailianzong and Jiuju faction must have started planning this conspiracy from a long time ago.

Maybe even more than 20 years ago, when the Great Sage of the White Lotus had just brought Elder Hatoyama to meet the senior leaders of the Yeshan Society and wanted to penetrate his tentacles into Chiba County, this plan had already been formed on their desktop. It's just because things are too secretive, they have never been discovered.

And now...

Since Bai Shuiqiu has already seen this problem, finding it earlier means there will be more time to solve it. Otherwise, it will really wait until the "Seven-Person Array" erupts on a large scale among the believers of the White Lotus Sect. I'm afraid there is no way to fix it.

"I can handle this matter alone. Xiaoqiu, you can take Keiko home first."

Jiufeng Ziyuan added another sentence.

"No, it's a big deal, let's stay together."

The situation was urgent, and Bai Shuiqiu didn't have the time to stay in the classroom too much. After explaining a few words to Li Jiancheng, she threw the matter here to the Narita Police Station, and hurried with Jiufeng Shion and Jindai Keiko. Go downstairs.

It wasn't until she came out of the teaching building that Keiko finally opened her mouth and asked what she had been wanting to say:

"Qiu-chan, Shion-sensei, I have a question..."

Chapter 725 Is there such an operation? (two in one)

"Ok?"

Bai Shuiqiu paused for a while, then turned to look at Keiko Kamidai.

The latter bit his lip lightly, as if he was thinking about it in his mind, and then said softly: "I have heard what you said just now, Qiu Jiang, the way the White Lotus Sect spreads the power of the black mud should indeed be through the assembly. It's right to drink "holy water" for believers.

But... who is the one who controlled these guys to form a formation, summoned the power of black mud, and turned them into monsters? "

"You mean..."

Bai Shuiqiu frowned slightly, not sure what Keiko Kashiro wanted to express.

However, Keiko Kashiro didn't intend to betray him, and quickly said the following words: "Before, Qiu Jiang, the white lotus religious master you met, was hunted down by the countermeasure team and had no way to escape. Don't use psychic rituals, want to use the power of black mud to get out of trouble.

But these few people today, without any warning, took the initiative to gather up and set up that kind of magic circle...

So, why did they make this move?

Could it be that the black mud is so powerful that it can remotely control their consciousness and body through the "holy water" accumulated in their bodies?

If that's the case, then there are not just two or three "Yin-qi-rich spots" appearing on the compass today, but there should be dozens or even more. "

Having said this, Kamidai Keiko paused, and then asked himself:

"I have two guesses. First, the manipulator behind the scenes is indeed the black mud, but because the black mud is still under the seal of Senior Sana, most of the power cannot be used, so he can only use a little power at a time to control a few Believers summon their own powers, and then condense all these powers into one place to realize the whole.

Based on this premise, a situation like this classroom must have happened in more than one place, but the one located in Narita City happened to be discovered by us. It was purely a coincidence.

Second, the manipulator behind the scenes is not Hei Mu, but someone from the White Lotus Sect or the Nine Ju sect.

In that case, the question to consider is how they did it.

One of the possibilities is to send emails or LINE messages to these people through some communication channel within the White Lotus Sect, and then use their enthusiasm for religion to order them to gather at the specified location, and finally cut their wrists to complete the formation. The construction of the law...

But even those who have participated in the White Lotus Sect gatherings many times are not necessarily mad believers who are not afraid of life and death. It is no problem for them to do things that hurt others, but they sacrifice their loyalty to the great sage in the form of cutting their wrists and committing suicide. A bit too much.

The second possibility is that someone is using magic to control all this.

In this case, it means that the man behind the creation is likely not far from us. Even...watching us from within sight! "

Bai Shuiqiu had thought about this question just now.

It's just that her focus is more on the incident itself that happened today, and she did not clearly list all the possibilities like Keiko Kashiro.

And if the truth is, as Keiko Koujiro said, someone used magic to do it...

Then in order to ensure that the spell can take effect, the distance between the opponent and Qingshan Kingdom will never be too far.

Subconsciously, Bai Shuiqiu raised his head and looked around.

They have now come out of the teaching building and walked towards the gate of Qingshan National Middle School. Because the night is already very thick, the surrounding buildings of all sizes are hidden in the night, and the shadows are so vivid that they cannot be seen at all.

"Teacher Ziyuan..."

Bai Shuiqiu glanced at the old monster next to him.

The latter shrugged quickly: "Don't look at me, I'm not good at finding people, you should go to that guy for this kind of thing... But that guy is a monster with a partial spirit system, and he doesn't have the habit of wearing a mobile phone, so I'm afraid it's a little troublesome to find. Do you need me to take you back to Tianmu Shrine first?
