Zeng Feng is the magistrate of Huai County. He has been in office for three years. He is upright and upright, and has a clean and honest style. He can be regarded as a rare good official.
Due to his busy work, Zeng Feng did not marry and have children, and always lived in the backyard of the county government office.
In the middle of the night, Zeng Feng was woken up by the urge to urinate. He drowsily found a coat, put it on and walked out of the room.
"It's strange, the county government seems to be quieter tonight?" Zeng Feng was a little confused.
The weather is not very good tonight, the moonlight is obscured by dark clouds, and the backyard of the county government office looks particularly deep and quiet.
However, he was awakened by the urge to urinate, so he didn't think too much and hurriedly ran to the latrine at the back to solve his physical problem.
Pattering~
Zeng Feng vented his urge to pee and felt refreshed, and the world suddenly became beautiful again.
Rub~
Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps came from outside, which seemed a bit far away.
But the county government office was too quiet tonight, so Zeng Feng still heard the footsteps, frowned, and shouted: "Who is it?"
As the county magistrate, his voice should be recognized by everyone in the county government.
But for some reason, I didn't get any response.
"Is he some daring little thief who dares to come into the county government office and steal things?" A thought flashed through Zeng Feng's mind.
Rub~
At this time, the footsteps sounded again.
This time, Zeng Feng heard it clearly, as it seemed to be coming from outside the hut.
Zeng Feng was about to open the door to see who was pretending to be a ghost.
But he seemed to have thought of something, and his body froze in place as if struck by thunder.
There was also a trace of panic and confusion on his face.
When the footsteps sounded for the first time, they were clearly still far away.
But this time the footsteps sounded directly outside the hut.
How could anyone be able to cross such a distance in one step?
Unless....he is not human!
Thinking of this, Zeng Feng broke out in cold sweat.
Although he is a county magistrate, he is also a human being.
As humans, we are afraid of unknown things.
Zeng Feng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He said nothing again.
Outside the hut, there were no more footsteps.
"Did it leave?" A thought came to Zeng Feng's mind.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his fear, and slowly pushed the door of the latrine open.
Creak~
The old wooden door made a heartbreaking sound, like an old man moaning in pain on his bed.
It was eerily quiet outside the hut, empty and pitch black, with nothing in it.
Zeng Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Maybe it's because I've been busy with official duties recently and I'm too tired to have hallucinations."
Zeng Feng could only find such an excuse for himself.
At this time, the black clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed.
The pale moonlight fell down.
A figure fell at Zeng Feng's feet!
"Who!" Zeng Feng was startled and exclaimed.
Looking along the figure on the ground, he discovered that there was a person hanging on an old tree in front of him!
Under the pale moonlight, the shadow of this man's figure was stretched very long.
It looked a bit permeable and spread all the way to Zeng Feng's feet.
Zeng Feng was so frightened that his whole body was shaking and his scalp was numb.
It was fine when we arrived, but why did more people hang themselves when we came out of the hut?
Moreover, the man's body was motionless, so he was probably completely cold.
Because even if someone wants to die and hangs himself, the most instinctive desire to survive in his heart will still cause some struggling movements.
Zeng Feng tried hard to control his emotions and walked towards the old tree step by step.
He wanted to see clearly who had hanged himself.
Zeng Feng walked tremblingly with every step, but he still came to the old tree.
The pale moonlight fell on the corpse, allowing Zeng Feng to see clearly.
"How...how is it possible!!!"
Zeng Feng's mind collapsed instantly and he screamed in panic.
The appearance of the corpse was exactly the same as mine!
There isn't even any difference in the clothes they wear.
The corpse looked pale and looked at him with a strange smile!
In an instant, cold despair and fear were like a tide, completely submerging Zeng Feng.

Due to the recent popularity and the offending of the Black Mysterious Army, Yi Cantian did not let Zhou You go on a mission, but just asked him to stay in the Demon Slayer Department to train.
Zhou You also took advantage of this period of time to quickly improve the two newly learned martial arts.
Of course, other martial arts have not fallen behind either.
Time passed so quietly for half a month.
The Nine Yang Divine Art is nourished by the Red Fire Pill, and the speed of practice is naturally very fast. It directly enters the fifth level, and the lake of inner energy expands a little.
After the Great Ape Demonic Fist was completed, its progress was somewhat slow.
Due to the sudden movement of the demonic forces in the east, almost all the demon slayers came out, and there were not many people in the usually relatively lively martial arts arena.
The Chiji Fire Shield increasingly absorbed the burning flames of the lychee wood, and also entered the fourth level.
The speed of practicing the Demon-Sealing Sword has reached a jaw-dropping level.
Maybe it was because the evil spirit on Zhou You's body was too shocking. The red demonic shadow absorbed it day and night, and his figure became more solid. His realm also entered the realm of Xiaocheng, and his aura became more and more powerful.
However, Zhouyou still didn't pay attention to this murderous thought, and firmly suppressed it in the deepest part of his heart.
Host: Zhouyou
Nine Yang Magic: Fifth level (3%) Special effects: blazing, endless
Powerful Ape Demonic Fist: Great Success (20%) Special Effect: Violent
Chiji Fire Shield: Fourth layer (12%) Special effect: Copper skin and iron bones
Storm Arrow: Proficient (54%) Special Effect: Wind Control
Demon-Sealing Sword Scripture: Small Success (25%) Special Effect: Demonic Thoughts
Just when Zhou You was checking the system panel, there was a knock on the door.
Open the door.
It's Yi Cantian.
Seeing the person coming, Zhou You was stunned for a moment.
"There is no one in the Demon Slayer Department now. There is a mission that requires you to go." Yi Cantian didn't waste any nonsense and directly explained his purpose.
In normal times, the task of eliminating demons is done on a voluntary basis, so you can take it on if you want.
But for some special tasks or when there is a shortage of manpower, demon slayers will be directly assigned to complete them.
Of course, the rewards for this designated task are also higher than those for ordinary demon-killing tasks.
"Is the matter in the east of Qingzhou not over yet?" Zhou You invited Yi Cantian in and asked curiously.
"No...the demonic force moving in the east this time has been identified as Ten Thousand Snakes Cave." Yi Cantian said calmly.
"Ten Thousand Snakes Cave?!" Zhou You frowned.
He reported the case in the Zhao Mansion, and the man behind it was the demon from Ten Thousand Snakes Cave.
"Yes, the situation over there is a bit complicated. The Ten Thousand Snakes Cave seems to be looking for something in the east...even a black nightmare-level demon came and fought a battle with the demon-suppressing envoy. The two sides couldn't decide the outcome, and it was a stalemate.
Come down."
Yi Cantian explained.
The Demon Slayer is the leader of the Qingzhou Demon Slayer Division and the only master-level demon slayer.
