The white floor tiles look a little dazzling under the reflection of sunlight.
Fang Zhongzheng is sitting on the main seat, flanked by three demon slayers: Zhou You, Zhao Changkong and Lu Yu.
"Last night, after Brother Zhou killed Guigui who was causing trouble in the mine, I led people to search nearby all night, but we didn't find any bodies."
Even if Lu Yu stayed up all night, he still looked energetic.
Fang Zhongzheng doesn't care whether the body is found or not. As long as the weirdness is eliminated and the mine can resume normal operation, everything will be fine.
"This time is a slap in the face to those three sects. Even without their help, the government can still suppress these monsters and ghosts!"
Fang Zhongzheng seemed very excited. After thanking Zhou You repeatedly, he was ready to start issuing announcements. He also had to deal with the nearby villagers who were temporarily resettled in the city and restore the normal operation of the mine as soon as possible.
Zhou You and the other three came to Lu Yu's room.
"Brother Zhou, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple..." Lu Yu said in a deep voice.
Generally, the treacherous ones are trying to suck human flesh and blood, and some bones can still be left behind.
Dozens of miners disappeared near the mine, but not a single body was found, which is somewhat unreasonable.
What he meant was that there might be some kind of force controlling the weirdness behind this.
Those missing corpses were nothing more than blood sacrifices.
Zhao Changkong hesitated and said: "This may not mean anything. Maybe that Wei Wei likes to swallow people with their bones and dregs?"
After all, his strange behavior cannot be inferred by common sense.
Zhou You spoke up at this time: "Put this aside for now... If there is any evil force at work in this current treacherous situation, it will definitely come out later."
The slayer is at a disadvantage here.
They can only passively wait for the demon to cause trouble, but cannot take the initiative to attack.
Lu Yu also knew that this was a helpless move. There were too few demon slayers in Tianshui Mansion. After the incident in the mine in the past few days, there was a backlog of demon slayer tasks, and it was impossible to allocate extra manpower.
"By the way, let's remove the Demon Man's station first and introduce Brother Zhou to everyone."
Zhao Changkong suddenly said.
After all, it was inconvenient for demon slayers to come in and out of the government office. Lu Yu lived here to facilitate contact with the government office and act as a contact person.
Zhao Changkong was seriously injured and was temporarily recuperating in the government office.
The two of them took the tour around and arrived at a mansion in the north of Tianshui City.
This mansion is very grand, with two majestic stone lions, blue bricks and black tiles, and red lacquered wooden pillars, all showing luxury.
On the plaque are written the two characters "龙飞风五地".
"Chu Mansion."
Chu and except have the same pronunciation.
Zhou You never imagined that the Demon Slayer would be stationed in the wealthy area of Tianshui Fucheng.
But after thinking about it, I realized it.
The demon slayer is not short of money. If he can live in a better place, he can't be wronged.
What's more, Da Yin is hiding in the city.
There are too many people in urban areas, so it is not easy to hide.
The wealthy area has relatively less traffic, and no one would have thought that the Demon Slayer's stronghold would be in a seemingly luxurious mansion.
"This choice of location is quite interesting." Zhou You nodded lightly.
"Zhao Ge deliberately chose this. Even the prefect Fang didn't know that our demon slayers would be stationed here." Lu Yu said with a smile.
With that said, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Dong Dong~
Boom!
Two long and one short.
The three of them are all demon slayers, so they will naturally pay attention to whether there are any tails following them on the way here.
Creak.
Soon, an old figure came into view.
The old man was dressed simply, with gray hair and a rosy face, and looked very energetic.
"This is Uncle Fu. He is basically responsible for managing this station."
Lu Yu introduced.
"Hello, Uncle Fu." Zhou You said hello.
"Hello, sir." Uncle Fu hadn't seen a newcomer coming for a long time, and his tone was a little surprised.
The three of them walked into the mansion, passed through a deep corridor, and came to a hall.
At this moment, eight demon slayers with serious expressions and more or less blood-evil auras on their bodies were waiting there.
"Brother Zhou, currently there are only three intermediate demon slayers in Tianshui Mansion, you and me and Brother Zhao. There are only sixteen low-level demon slayers. There are currently eight more who are performing tasks outside."
Lu Qing introduced softly.
Zhou You looked strange: "So few?"
There are only twenty demon slayers stationed in this place, which is too miserable.
"There is no way, every mansion in Huangzhou is short of manpower. Tianshui Palace has three sects, but it can barely survive." Zhao Changkong smiled bitterly.
After all, among these three sects, except for the Golden Blade Sect near Tianshui City, the mountain gates of the other two sects are scattered on the east and west sides, which can also buffer the pressure.
No matter what, this Tianshui Mansion is also the root of the three major sects.
On weekdays, some strange monsters appear in the city near the mountain gate and cause trouble. Before the demon slayer can deal with it, they will send their own people to deal with it.
Over time, this martial arts sect formed a certain tacit understanding with the Demon Slayer.
It's just that once someone fierce and violent appears, these Jianghu sects won't be so easy to talk to.
This is why Fang Zhongzheng keeps scolding his mother.
"This is Zhou You. I was supposed to meet you yesterday, but I was anxious to resolve the mine issue, so I postponed it until today."
"According to the order of the Huangzhou Demon Slayer Department, from today onwards, Zhou You will be the person in charge of Tianshui Mansion."
Lu Yu said loudly.
Upon hearing this news, the expressions of the eight low-level demon slayers changed slightly, and they couldn't help but look at the young and somewhat excessive person in charge.
However, after hearing Lu Yu's introduction and hearing that Zhou You had solved the mystery that was causing trouble in the mine, there was a hint of awe in his eyes.
The sophistication of human nature has no effect among demon slayers.
They only recognize the strong.
And there is no doubt that Zhou You is the strong one who solves the mystery single-handedly.
Zhou You himself doesn't like to talk nonsense, so after a few casual conversations, he is considered to have gotten to know each other.
After the group broke up, Zhou You, Lu Yu, and Zhao Changkong came to the hall to talk and discuss how to operate in the future.
Uncle Fu also served tea at this time.
Zhou You also quickly expressed his attitude, that is, he wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, slaying demons and demons, and I would be responsible for the killings.
As for other chores, task arrangements, docking and other things, don't bother me.
And Zhao Changkong also meant this.
In the end, this important responsibility can only fall on Lu Yu.
Only his identity is appropriate.
In this regard, Lu Yu also said that he had long been used to it, and he was not polite. He immediately arranged five demon-killing tasks for Zhou You.
"Brother Zhou, there will be two low-level demon slayers to assist you in handling these five demon slayer tasks. If they fail to complete them, you will be responsible for the aftermath."
Lu Yu said softly.
Zhou You took a look at the mission contents and found that among the five missions, three were relatively dangerous and could only be handled by himself, while the remaining two seemed relatively simple and could be handed over to low-level demon slayers.
These tasks are all within a day's journey of each other. If the low-level demon slayer Renren fails, he will have to go out personally, which can also save a lot of time.
