Fairy, I really have control over you!

"I can search the soul, and this child's soul is all about his sister."

Pei Wanyu pulled the string of the kite, her expression showing determination: "I want to help this girl fulfill her wish."

"Okay! Since the fairy wants it, I will definitely help!"

Gu Zhinan clasped his fist happily.

"The kid's nursery rhyme mentioned a mine cart. There are mine carts all around here. Check them out quickly."

Fairy Pei had just given the order when she was surprised to find that the scholar was already standing next to a rusty mine cart, looking through it carefully with a shovel.

"Fairy, there are only spiritual ores in here, nothing else, and..."

Gu Zhinan said with a confident look: "I am sure that these ores were loaded on trucks at Black Tiger Mountain and transported to Jinyang Prefecture via Qingtian County."

"Why are you so sure?"

"because this."

Gu Zhinan picked up a piece of high-quality glazed cloud-patterned spiritual ore from the mine cart beside him and asked, "Fairy, have you seen the words on it?"

Pei Wanyu flashed and came closer.

She looked at it for a long time before she could see clearly that at the bottom of the ore, there were two small blood-red words "Help".

"I dug this ore myself, and I also wrote the words on it."

Gu Zhinan smiled bitterly.

"I can see that you really wanted to escape at that time." Pei Wanyu said lightly.

"At that time, I was just trying to save the situation. If the fairy hadn't descended from the sky, I would have been trapped in that mine for the rest of my life." Gu Zhinan felt that the past was too unbearable to recall.

Just then, footsteps were heard in the distance.

Two men wearing dark official robes and with golden swords hanging from their waists strode over.

Gu Zhinan narrowed his eyes and looked at the eight-clawed golden dragon totem on the two men’s robes, which was made of dark red and gold threads interwoven.

"Fairy, she is from the Demon Suppression Department."

The Great Xia Demon Suppression Division in the game is in charge of all matters related to the arrest, execution, and inspection of demons within the imperial territory. The headquarters is located in the imperial capital, and there are branch guards throughout the country.

The Demon-Suppressing Guards are dressed in the uniform golden dragon costume with golden-winged swords.

These two were obviously the Demon Suppression Guards from the nearby Jinyang County Demon Suppression Branch.

"I have met the two officials."

Gu Zhinan walked up to him in a friendly manner and greeted him.

"Hello, Your Excellency."

The two demon-suppressing guards also bowed to him with a seemingly friendly smile on their faces.

The reason why they were "seemingly friendly" was that the two men had pale and lifeless faces, and the smiles they forced out were extremely stiff, like wax figures.

"Sir, have you ever seen a——"

Gu Zhinan was about to ask something, but he saw the two men clasped their hands together again and smiled exactly the same way as before: "Hello, Your Excellency."

Damn, are these two AIs?

"Transfer to manual labor?"

Gu Zhinan said in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, the two men stopped smiling, walked right around him, and came to the middle of several mine cars.

Then, each of them pushed a mine cart full of spiritual ore, got on the wooden track next to them, and walked into the depths of the night.

During the whole process, the two had wooden expressions and there was no communication at all!

"Stupid head, did you see it?"

Fairy Pei walked with her long legs to the dazed scholar, waved her jade hand in front of the latter's eyes, and her tone was slightly playful, which she had never heard before.

"What did you see?" Gu Zhinan asked.

"These two people are dead. What controls them is a poisonous insect called "Corpse Controlling Worm" in their brains."

Pei Wanyu raised her eyebrows: "Do you remember what the Tiger King said before he died?"

Gu Zhinan understood instantly: "Yes! The surrounding Demon Suppression Division has been polluted!"

next moment.

What has he figured out?

"Fairy, I understand! The 'dolls in the mine carts' mentioned in the nursery rhyme by the little girl are not referring to the mine carts here, but to the mine carts that have been transported to the nearby branch of the Demon Suppression Division, or even to the Jinyang County Government!"

Fairy Pei held up her delicate white chin and said, "Your analysis is not without reason."

Gu Zhinan added: "Also, there is another line in the nursery rhyme, 'There is hell under the black robe'. This black robe is probably referring to the black and gold dragon robe of the Demon Suppression Guards!"

"The Jinyang County Demon Suppression Division is not far from here, just in the direction where the wooden tracks of the mine cart extend! We can find out if we sneak in and take a look! Maybe the little girl's sister is also there! And, if, as the fairy said, the two dead Demon Suppression Guards were controlled by poisonous insects, maybe this matter is also related to the sorcerer that the fairy wants to find!"

"Let's get going without delay!"

After Gu Zhinan finished speaking, he walked towards the carriage impatiently.

"So, why should I listen to you?"

Fairy Pei glanced sideways with her phoenix eyes, her expression noncommittal.

Gu Zhinan was embarrassed.

After a moment's thought.

He knew that this arrogant boss wanted to regain his superior presence, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Because I am the most loyal servant of the Fairy!"

With a big event on the horizon, he just didn't care and was shameless.

Under the moonlight, the female swordsman in white looked up at the night sky, her expression as indifferent as ever, with no sign of joy or anger.

but.

Gu Zhinan clearly noticed a subtle curve at the corner of her lips.

Every time this female boss shows this kind of micro-expression, it means——

Gu Zhinan jumped onto the driving seat of the carriage, stroked Lingshuang's mane, and waited for good news.

call out.

A sharp gust of wind passed by my ears.

The fairy who was standing on the cliff and looking at the moon in the last second has already gone into the carport!

Gu Zhinan flattered with a shrewd sense of the times:

"Fairy, you are so kind to me!"

"On the road ahead, I am willing to burn everything I have to help the fairy practice!"

Hearing the scholar's hearty voice that sounded like an oath, Fairy Pei, who was about to meditate in the carport, blushed slightly.

"Humph, who wants you to help me practice? A sword slave like you who likes to be stepped on is not qualified."

"Hey, fairy, calling me a sword slave or a lowly slave all the time is too unpleasant. Why don't you change my name?"

Gu Zhinan shook his head and sighed.

"Oh? What do you want to change? Tell me." The fairy's tone seemed to contain a hint of interest.

"I think any name sounds better than Sword Slave. Why don't you call me Master Gu?"

Gu Zhinan began to test.

After experiencing the two incidents in Heihu Mountain and Qingtian County together, he could clearly feel that the relationship between this female BOSS seemed to be much closer to him.

If it were before, he would never have dared to make such a suggestion.

At this moment.

In the bumpy carport, the fairy in white looked at the bright moon outside the window with a frozen expression, and she was actually thinking seriously!

At this time, Gu Zhinan used the golden light of the heart-protecting mirror on his chest to dispel the night and saw the backs of the two demon-suppressing guards clearly, wondering whether he should follow them.

The extremely heaven-defying voice of the Fairy Lady came to my ears:

"Look, I'm not a stubborn person."

"Since you don't like it, we can change it."

"You see, no matter how the world changes or how time passes, the tiny stars always surround the bright moon."

"From now on, I will be Haoyue and you will be under my command."

"Star Slave!"

Gu Zhinan:∑(O_O)

Midnight watch.

Cicadas chirp in the quiet air, and the bamboo forest rustles.

A carriage was coming northwards, speeding along the official road that ran across the north and south. Its rolling wheels continuously hit the ground, startling countless night crows that were pecking at the carrion.

At this moment, the car window was slowly pushed open, and a face popped out from inside.

He was a man in his early thirties, with handsome features, a refined and noble temperament, and black hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, looking like a young master of a prominent family.

He was coughing violently, and his already pale face looked even sicker.

"There are dead bodies everywhere along the way, and evil monsters in every mountain."

"Some people want to turn this southwestern land into a demon country, cough cough cough cough"

The young man sighed and coughed even more violently. There was a hint of blood on the handkerchief in his hand.

"Second Master, we are almost at the border of Yuezhou. How about we find an inn to rest first?"

The middle-aged coachman in front, who had a majestic appearance and noble temperament, turned around with a look of concern.

"No need. The longer we delay here, the more danger our fourth brother will face."
