Chapter 181: Corpse Demon and Academician Han.
Because we were all wanted criminals, the Black Butcher did not make things difficult for us. He just ordered us to drive and follow him.
Zhang Sanfen and I returned to the car and drove quickly behind the two cars. It was not until night fell that we finally arrived at the Styx Black Shop.
At this time, countless lights had already been lit inside the Styx Black Shop.
There was the roar of generators and bright searchlights.
There are also all kinds of weird will-o'-wisps floating in the streets.
I sat in the passenger seat and looked at the bizarre world in front of me, secretly amazed in my heart.
If you hadn't come here in person, who would have thought that there is such a city deep in the Land of the Dead where the living and the dead coexist!
The name of Styx Black Shop sounds small in scale, but it actually covers an area larger than the Town of the Undead.
It's just that the residents here are mostly all kinds of dead souls and zombies, and the living people make up a minority.
Of course, this is normal.
As far as I can see so far, one-third of the Styx Black Shop is shrouded in the light of searchlights. Judging from the rumbling sounds, at least three diesel generators are installed here.
While I was looking there, I saw the two off-road vehicles turning a corner and parking in a parking lot on the periphery.
I looked through the surrounding light and saw that there were fifty or sixty cars parked neatly.
Based on the number of vehicles, there are at least one hundred and fifty exorcists here.
Zhang Sanfen parked the car according to the other party's instructions.
Then we got out of the car and packed our bags.
The black butcher walked over quickly and said: "Han Shaoyang, take your things and follow me." "
After this matter is done, you can do whatever you want."
"With Lord Dusk here, no one dares to touch you! "
After saying that, the Black Butcher led the people and walked quickly towards the street.
Zhang Sanfen and I quickly followed and looked around and saw that the streets were bustling with people everywhere.
From a rough look at the number, I'm afraid there are probably hundreds.
Some of them squatted in the corner and lit a bonfire to keep warm, and some of them were walking quickly.
Others gathered together in twos and threes, seemingly trading something.
I couldn't help but ask: "Black...Brother Black Butcher, are these all our own people?"
The Black Butcher sneered: "What do they think? Half of our own people are exorcists who are here to make a fortune."
"I know Dusk. The Lord wanted to negotiate with the Corpse Demon, so he took the initiative to stand up for Lord Dusk, and then prepared to get some benefits." "
They are all a group of opportunistic guys! Please be respectful to Lord Dusk here. If you leave the land of the dead, change hands. They will sell your information to the Secret Bureau!"
Zhang Sanfen gritted his teeth: "These people deserve to be killed!"
The Black Butcher smiled and said, "No, no."
"For now, they are still useful."
"Okay. , you can move around as you like, and when the negotiations begin, just come together to cheer!"
I finally understood. In order to increase his voice in the Land of the Dead, Dusk relied on brute force to gather all the living people and form a group. .
With Dusk leading the team, the strength of this group is not inferior to the seven ghost kings and the two corpse kings.
And those exorcists who came here to make a fortune also saw the business opportunities contained in it.
Once Dusk can compete with other ghost kings, the exorcist's voice in the Styx Black Shop will skyrocket.
With the right to speak, making money is almost a certainty.
No wonder so many people came spontaneously to stand up for Dusk.
The black butcher took away our keys when he left.
It should be a way for them to try to control us.
But Zhang Sanfen didn't seem to care about the vehicles.
Who told you that you need a key to open it?
As long as it can make these guys feel at ease.
Zhang Sanfen looked at the exorcists coming and going on the street, his eyes twinkling with inexplicable light. He said to me: "Old He, go find out about the negotiations with the corpse demon at dusk." "
I'll try to find out where Academician Han's laboratory is."
"Watch the time and come back here in ten minutes."
I The two checked their watches, and then walked quickly towards both sides of the street, one on the left and the other on the right.
After all the hard work, it’s time to get to work.
In fact, it is very simple to find out the news about the negotiation between the zombie demon and Dusk.
Because this is a major event in the Land of the Dead, almost all humans are discussing it.
I found a group that was discussing this matter, gave them two packs of cigarettes, and started talking with them.
This group of people didn't look like wanted criminals. From their accents, they should be exorcists from northern Shaanxi.
They looked very professional and there were quite a few of them, six in total.
After hearing my inquiry, these people told me clearly and nonchalantly.
Anyway, people on the whole street are discussing this matter, so it is not considered a secret news.
Dusk's negotiations with the corpse demon began in the early morning.
At that time, not only the demon ghost king and the Mahakala corpse king will mediate, but also the headless ghost king and the bone-breaking ghost king will come over.
According to rumors, the Mahakala Corpse King is on the side of the zombie demon. After all, both of them belong to the zombie lineage.
The demon ghost king is on the side of dusk.
Because the wanted criminals under Dusk are the long-term customers of the Ghost King.
Both sides can be considered mutually beneficial.
As for the conditions for negotiation, it is not as simple as we thought.
I originally thought that the corpse demon just wanted revenge, but according to what these exorcists in northern Shaanxi said, there was also an issue of interests involved.
It is said that when the zombie demon woke up, it ate several people and imprisoned several others.
These people are quite important. Huang Wan wants to exchange these people from the corpse demon.
When I attracted the corpse demon in the Great Abyss Pond before, I also wanted to completely defeat the opponent. It was a done deal.
Unexpectedly, the zombie demon's strength was beyond their expectations, so it was self-defeating and completely offended this powerful guy.
My heart skipped a beat when I heard this.
How many people did the corpse demon eat when he woke up? How many people were imprisoned?
Isn’t this guy the zombie brainless? Why are people still imprisoned?
Is it like a squirrel that can't finish its meal in a short while, so it imprisons living people and eats them slowly?
Thinking of this, I asked casually: "Who are those imprisoned people? It's actually worthy of Lord Dusk to go to war like this."
The exorcists shrugged and said, "Who knows."
"Some people say they are wanted criminals following Dusk, but who would believe it!"
"Dusk and Bai Ju, what are the identities of these two big guys? Even if they are Class A wanted criminals were imprisoned by corpse demons, and even if they were eaten, they would only call them trash."
Another exorcist said: "I have heard some rumors. Those imprisoned people seem to be What kind of scholar?"
When I heard this, my head buzzed, holy shit!
Academician Han?
Yes!
Bai Ju risked being captured alive by the Secret Bureau and came to Middle-earth just to take away Memorial and her research notes.
In order to obtain the research results of Academician Han, Huang Wan would rather go head-to-head with the corpse demon.
If that's the case, then it all makes sense!
But what does the zombie demon have to do with Academician Han?
A scholar who specializes in studying supernatural phenomena and a vicious corpse demon, the two are simply not compatible.
