Ten minutes later,
He Li arrived at the entrance of Yanzihu Tong.
Binjiang is an ancient capital with a long cultural history. As the times developed, Binjiang grew larger and larger. The old city from hundreds of years ago was no longer the center of the city, but quietly sat in the north, becoming a powerful witness to Binjiang City's development.
Just like the hutongs in Kyoto, the lanes in Shanghai, the alleys in Tianjin, and the gardens in Suzhou and Hangzhou, as well as ancient houses, villages, and bamboo buildings in many other places, people still lived there. They had lived there for generations. To others, they were cultural heritage, but to them, they were home.
Yanzihu Tong was already cordoned off, and many police officers were evacuating the crowd. People were accustomed to this situation and left without hesitation. There was nothing to see. Of course, the most important reason was that watching such a spectacle could be fatal.
He Li, carrying a shotgun, showed his identification to the police and was smoothly allowed into Yanzihu Tong.
He Xi followed He Li, her bright, dark eyes looking around. Then she wrinkled her little nose and sniffed, tilting her head to say to He Li, "He Li, I'll only eat one crispy ice cream cone from now on."
He Li was confused. Why was she suddenly talking about this?
"Why?"
He Xi's small body gently floated up, hovering beside He Li. She pouted, on the verge of tears, and said, "It's too hard for you to earn money."
He Li smiled and said, "It's okay, just a small demon. I can handle it."
He Xi said, "Who told you there's only one?"
He Li: "......"
He Xi continued to speak with a distressed little face, "He Li, you have to be careful. With so many demons, don't get torn to shreds."
Then,
He Xi changed the subject and said with a grin, "If you die, we... will be free..."
He Li was speechless. Uncle Li, I miss you. Please come and take this little drama queen away.
As the afterglow of the sunset fell, tall buildings blocked the last ray of light.
All four members of the Spirit Management Committee's action team entered Yanzihu Tong.
Susan said, "Everyone, let's split up first and transmit the facilities of Yanzihu Tong to Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen, model it immediately, and then transmit it to us."
Jiang Zhen replied, "Understood."
He Li listened to Susan's instructions in his ear, first pressed the communicator on his ear, then opened his watch face, and activated the video synchronization function.
Then, he pulled the lens on his earphone up to his left eye, and an image of Yanzihu Tong immediately appeared, somewhat like VR glasses.
He Li felt like a futuristic warrior, equipped with high technology.
3D modeling, image transmission, using demon energy detection devices to accurately locate the demons, and then eliminating them together.
Efficient and safe.
But the only drawback was the lack of the tense and exciting hide-and-seek thrill from novels. It was like cheating, leaving only a sense of blandness after the excitement.
Click!
He Li opened the safety of the shotgun, loaded the bullet, and walked forward along the alley.
Old hutongs were always messy. There were bricks piled up here, pots of flowers placed there, and cardboard boxes stacked as high as a person at the corner. A car was parked in the not-so-wide alley. He Li couldn't help but click his tongue. Judging by the driving skills, they must have passed the second part of the driving test on the first try.
He Xi floated around in front, sometimes standing on the wall, sometimes sitting on a pancake cart, poking at the small spatula on the cart and giggling.
A moment later,
He Li stood at the entrance of a small courtyard. The gate was open. There were two osmanthus trees in the yard. The kitchen was on the left, and the side rooms were on the right. There was a sound from the main house behind the trees. Listening carefully, it was the sound of a television program.
He Li paused. It seemed the family had left in a hurry and forgotten to turn off the TV.
Just as he was about to leave, he felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if someone was blowing on his neck. And the breath was very cold, a kind of chilling cold.
He turned around abruptly!
He saw a black cat crouching on the wall behind him, its eyes glowing green, its black pupils very small, staring intently at him.
He Li frowned, put down his gun, and glanced at the corner of the alley. He Xi was standing there, with her hands behind her back, looking around. He felt much more at ease. At this moment, his sense of security came from He Xi, but he didn't feel ashamed because He Xi was truly more powerful than Li Qin.
Of course, He Li had never seen how powerful He Xi truly was. He had only heard about it from Jin Fang and others, and even Li Qin admitted it.
He Li walked towards He Xi and said, "Little Xi, don't wander around. Stay by my side."
"Oh." He Xi nodded obediently, then floated up and stayed by He Li's side.
"He Li, let's go to the right," He Xi said.
"Why?" He Li asked.
"Because there are demons on the left, and none on the right," He Xi replied.
He Li: "......"
The innocence of children lies in how serious they are when they lie.
He Li turned and walked to the right.
He Xi: "......"
He Xi pouted, grumbling unhappily, "You can't even fool me with this. It's no fun."
He Li sighed inwardly. Uncle Li, I miss you.
"Yanzihu Tong real-scene image complete," Sister Jiang's voice sounded.
He Li pressed the receive button on his watch face, and a real-scene modeling image of Yanzihu Tong immediately appeared on the glasses on his left eye.
It really looked like a swallow!
The modeling image was in the shape of a swallow, with a forked tail.
According to the red dots on it, He Li saw himself at the position of the left wing of Yanzihu Tong, Captain Susan was at the right wing, and Bai Fei and Tao Xue were at the head position.
Most importantly, there were seven blue dots, representing demons, and four of them were closest to him.
He Li fell into deep thought. He glanced at He Xi floating beside him. He regretted his earlier show-off. What was the big deal if he just walked on the left? Not only could he avoid demons, but he could also play with the child. It was a win-win situation.
Despite his thoughts,
He Li still walked towards the closest demon.
It was a small courtyard with an open gate and walls covered in ivy. The paving stones in the yard were not very flat. There was a well, covered with a tin lid.
He Li put away his shotgun. There were four demons around him, so he couldn't fire. If he attracted all the demons, he might really be torn to shreds, just as He Xi had said.
As he reached the door of the main house, He Li first looked inside through the glass. There was nothing unusual. But the moment he placed his hand on the door, a strong demonic energy suddenly erupted, and a chaotic airflow directly blew the door open, sending him flying out along with it.
He Li somersaulted in the air and landed in the small courtyard. After steadying himself, he looked up.
He saw a person dressed as an ancient soldier walking out of the main house step by step, wearing a half-evil ghost mask, with blood-red eyes, dragging a long halberd in his hand.
