Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 116 Hunting the Spirits

Just under the attention of everyone, the bodies were instantly covered by black flames. At the beginning, the flames only appeared in the wounds. Then the flames spread quickly and covered the entire body in a short time.

There was no bones left.

Only the blood on the ground could prove that there was indeed a bloody fight here.

The dead bodies became fly ashes on the ground a moment later. All the people were stunned, they blinked and opened their eyes again, but the ashes were still.

"What happened to these bodies?"

"Why do they all burn up?"

"What the hell?"

"Did the person use some poison?"

"How could it be possible? They have already been dead, why would he waste his poison?"

Several people started to discuss in low voices, but there was no result. How could there be a result! They were all ordinary people, how could they figure it out? Even Ye Que and Red Bean were stunned at this moment, but their expressions were somewhat different.

Almost at the same time, both of them threw away the things in their hands. They squatted on the ground, gently pinched a little black ash, smelled with their nose, and then rubbed their fingers.

Subsequently, Ye Que sat on the bench. His face was gloomy and seemed to be making some choices. The reaction of Red Bean was even more intense. She grabbed her oil paper umbrella and rushed out of the wine shop with a cold and frosty face.

Although it was no longer snowing outside, the road was still slippery.

Bang.

When Ye Que who sat in the house heard this, he knew that Red Bean must have been falling on the ground again. He sighed and followed her out. When he passed the waiter, he gave him a small ingot of silver and said lightly, "Listen to me, leave here quickly, leave the village, and if possible, ask the people in the village to leave quickly."

"It's not safe here."

"Very dangerous."

"People will die at any time."

When he finished, he went outside the house. Within a few steps, he was stopped by the waiter. "What do you mean by this? Do you know anything? What happened just now? How did those corpses burn themselves? Will that person come back?"

"I do not know."

Ye Que took a pause and then said, "There may be demons around your village, do you understand?"

Explaining the black flame, the difference between human, demon, and monster to an ordinary people was a difficult thing. It was difficult for them to understand. So Ye Que chose a simple way, he told him that there were demons here.

It was vivid about demons for ordinary people.

The black flame, the strong man in a mink coat, the disappearing corpses, all these could be fully explained.

Standing outside the door of the wine shop at the intersection, Red Bean stunned and stood still. Nobody knew what she was thinking.

Ye Que went to Red Bean and said, "Do you recognize the black flame?"

Red Bean nodded and said, "I have been looking for them."

"Them?" Ye Que asked with doubt.

"We call this group of people the hunters. In your name, they are called the monsters." Red Bean explained.

"Are you sure he was a monster?" Ye Que asked.

"I won't be wrong. Only the monster can use that kind of black flame, or monster's flame. And that smell is definitely right, I was asked to keep the smell in mind when I was young." Red Bean said slowly.

"Keep the smell of monster in mind?" Ye Que was stunned.

"Yes, it's incredible, but that's the truth, because these hunters have destroyed our homes a long time ago. They took my people away with extremely evil means, drank our blood, stripped our skin, and took our bones away, and even hollowed out our hearts."

After a pause, Red Bean continued, "In my family's record, these people are a hundred times more evil than the demons. Everyone in my family must kill them once we see the hunters."

"I don't know how the man in a mink coated hide his scent, but the monster's flame is not going to lie, and the smell of ash exactly belongs to them. That person is definitely a hunter, or at least has inextricable relationships with hunters."

After saying this, Red Bean stared at Ye Que. "I need your help."

"Catch up with him?" asked Ye Que.

"No." Red Bean shook her head. "It was to capture him. The hunters have not appeared for many years. I need to confirm their information. Is there any conspiracy? They are the symbol of the night, when there are hunters, it must be the beginning of the chaos."

The sun after the snow shined at the intersection and illuminated the face of Ye Que.

He closed his eyes, seemed to have been considered seriously. Then Ye Que said, "You don't need my help."

"Because they are also my target."

"I have a question to ask them."

Ye Que clearly remembered that in Luoyang City, Qian Shuxiao gave him a bag, which contained a little black ash. It was exactly the bone ashes of the old housekeeper of the General's Manor. And the old housekeeper turned into ashes in his eyes, and a black flame appeared before his death as well.

At that time, Ye Que concluded that the death of the old housekeeper was related to the monster, and then he concluded that Ye Zhengru's death was also probably related to the monster, but there was no evidence, and there was no clue about the monster then.

The final reminder that the old housekeeper gave him was to enter into the Imperial Mausoleum of the ley lines of sovereignty and find the Divine Tool River Soldiers. It must be a reminder of finding the reason or the clues about Ye Zhengru's death.

Ye Que did not forget this matter, however, he still did not find anything related to the monster until he left the Imperial Mausoleum. But now it appeared.

In this small village in the You Prefecture North, there was a monster in an ordinary wine shop.

And the girl who accompanied him actually knew the monsters, but they were called hunters in her mouth.

"You also want to find the hunters?" Red Bean asked.

"Yes, I'm looking for them. I have told you that I'm the illegitimate son of the General's Manor in Luoyang. My biological father is Ye Zhengru. Although I have no feelings with him, my mother was protecting him all her life. Now that he has been dead, I suspect that he was killed by the monster. Because of the kinship and the justice, I need to find out the truth, otherwise my mother would not rest in peace." Ye Que said softly. He actually had the same reason but in different ways as Red Bean, they were all blood debt.

One was for the parents and the other was for the clansmen.

"I can find the scent of the man in a mink coat, and I can find him if I follow the scent." Red Bean clasped the oil paper umbrella and pointed a direction.

This time, before Ye Que reminded her, Red beans took the initiative to climb on his back. Because if she wanted to chase up someone, the current strength of Red Bean was definitely not enough.

"Why didn't you notice his scent just now?" Ye Que asked when he was rushing.

"This is why I also feel strange. If it was not the black flame at last that revealed his identity, I couldn't notice him at all. In general, this should not be the case, unless he used some special methods to cover up his identity."

In fact, he could also guess that without Red Bean's explain.

The mountain road was rugged, the coniferous forest was dense in this area, and the snow covered the mountain, so this road was not easy to run. And it was already north of You Prefecture which was too remote for human to reach, so it was even more difficult to predict the surrounding situation.

Fortunately, they succeed.

They went wrong three times and turned back four times.

At the end of the road, they finally saw the mink coat, and the strong man whose cultivation base was a mystery, or could now be called the hunter or monster.

By the side of the man, there were five bodies lying on the ground. Because they had not been burned out by the black flame, Ye Que inferred that they should have been killed just now.

Judged from the costumes of these people on the ground, they were soldiers of the Ye Army as well. One of them was wearing a standard mystical iron armor with a blue war sword at his waist and the Ye totem on the chest. He might have been a high official, at least a lieutenant.

"Why are these people only killing the soldiers of Ye Army?"

"And why they call themselves the mowing men?"

"Who is the grass? What is the purpose of mowing these people's lives? What is their secret?"

The brows of Ye Que had already wrinkled together.

It seemed that since the beginning of his return to the juvenile, this world had undergone tremendous changes comparing with the world that he had experienced.

The world that he had experienced now should be the situation when the Demon Race invaded the world on a large scale and the demons raided Luoyang City. But now the Demon Race seemed to have no movement, and it was the "monsters" instead.

In his vision, he encountered two traces of the monsters.

This was a very dangerous signal, which was a hundred times more dangerous than the appearance of the demon.

As Red Bean had told, the emergence of the monsters had always been associated with the disaster of heaven and earth. As long as there were monsters, there would inevitably undergo a drastic change.

Perhaps the man in a mink coat had not noticed the arrival of them, or maybe he didn't care at all.

Anyway, the strong man in a mink coat was standing in the middle of the road at this moment and took out a white streamer. He did nothing but the white streamer moved even without wind. And the air appeared. Five transparent grey spirits appeared in the air, looking like the dead soldiers.

Five grey spirits were absorbed by the white streamer as soon as they appeared in the air, and disappeared in an instant. Almost at the same time, five bodies on the ground began to burn by black flames directly.

The black flame burned the body to ashes in a few seconds.

In the wind mixed with ice and snow blowing, the ashes quickly dissipated, as if nothing had happened.

However, it was not like that.

The white little streamer was actually absorbing the spirits of the souls which were the military souls of the brave warriors!

The snow lane was silent. The man's chest had been rubbed with several bloodstains, but they were obviously not belong to himself, it was other people's bloodstains that had attached to his fingers, and then being rubbed on his clothes.

The mountain wind blew his cheeks, his eyebrows were covered with a light layer of frost, and his eyes were gloomy and grey, like an illusory formation of mist.
