Chapter 231 Traitor
Bai Yu was about to report it when a voice interrupted him.
"Wait!"
I saw Jiao Beihai rushing over in a hurry:
"Master Impermanence, please wait and report."
Bai Yu turned around and looked:
"Lao Jiao? What do you have in mind?"
Jiao Beihai was sweating profusely:
"This half-month is the rotation of a certain family's palm seal. It is a big fault of a certain family to go out of control."
"Once reported, a certain family's future will be lost, and everyone in the entire Black Tortoise Tomb will be punished. Sir Impermanence, you will also be unlucky."
"So, Lord Impermanence, do you think you can suppress it first, and we can check it ourselves first."
After hearing this, the expressions of the other Demon Burial Soldiers also changed slightly.
Many people began to whisper:
"That's right. If you don't tell me, if you don't tell me, and if everyone else doesn't tell you, who on top will know that he is possessed by a demon?"
"If this is reported, we will all be dead. The fine is relatively light, and it might even alert the secret guards."
"Master Impermanence, how about we deal with it internally?"
Bai Yu glanced at Jiao Beihai meaningfully.
Jiao Beihai's idea was quite normal. If he reported it, he would be punished, so he should not report it.
Deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates is an essential skill for all officials.
It's a pity that this matter was originally done by Bai Yu, just to alarm the superiors.
What if the sky is falling?
Bai Yu's idea is to poke a hole in the sky first.
When the time comes, great power will naturally come to mend the sky and hold it on top.
Bai Yu's expression changed and he said righteously:
"God knows what you want to do to deceive your heart. The Patriarch is watching everyone in heaven."
"Besides, a red demon escaped. Can this be hidden?"
"If it were hidden in Black Tortoise's tomb now, everyone's life would be in danger, and we don't know how and when they would die!"
"The last Black Tortoise's army was completely wiped out because of the red devil."
Bai Yu's words made everyone's expressions change drastically.
This is a lesson learned from the past, and no one dares to take any chances.
Bai Yu reported the matter without saying a word.
"The thunder and fire formation is fully activated. The Demon Burial Soldiers and Palm Seal Commanders who are on duty that day are being reviewed in the hall!"
"Everyone else should stay in their place and prevent monsters from harming us!"
Orders were issued one after another, and everyone in Black Tortoise's tomb was extremely nervous, waiting for someone to come from above.
Bai Yu was on the side, looking at everyone calmly, taking in all their expressions.
Everyone had different expressions, most of them were frightened and uncertain.
Unfortunately, one cannot determine who is the traitor based on his expression alone.
Finally, the sound of "click" and "click" came from outside the door.
Lord Bao, with two patrol envoys and a group of armored Demon Burial Soldiers, rushed over in a hurry.
Judge Tie, the Japanese patrol envoy, said solemnly:
"Impermanence, what's going on?"
Bai Yu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with his hands raised, and told him everything about the demon.
Judge Iron quickly analyzed the situation:
"A shadow demon escaped, and it was still a red demon level."
"The Shadow Demon is the most elusive. He is probably hiding in the tomb of Black Tortoise, and may even be possessed by someone!"
After he finished his analysis, he raised his hand to Master Bao.
"Lord Bao, this is a big matter and cannot be underestimated."
"There must be a comprehensive investigation of the entire Black Tortoise tomb."
Lord Bao had a frosty look on his face, and was feeling unlucky in his heart.
Leaving the Red Demon was a big deal, and even he would be reprimanded by his superiors.
He snorted coldly:
"From now on, my lord's personal guards will take over the tomb of Black Tortoise."
"The owner of Black Tortoise's tomb will be fined three years, demoted to half a rank, and temporarily assume his original position."
Bai Yu listened and pretended to feel pain on the surface.
Being demoted to half a grade means that he changed from a regular sixth grade to a deputy sixth grade.
Moreover, he was also fined for three years. Of course, most people would feel pain.
But in fact, Bai Yu doesn't care about the rank of official, nor the three years of salary.
As long as he can be buried in peace, the funeral reward is better than any salary.
At this time, Master Bao ordered Judge Tie:
"Iron Judge, you and your men will segregate everyone in Black Tortoise's tomb for interrogation!"
"Smiling Buddha, you are responsible for a comprehensive search of Black Tortoise's tomb. You must find out the whereabouts of the red devil!"
The Iron Judge waved his hand, and the armored Demon Burial Guards were dispatched to take the original Demon Burial Soldiers from the Black Tortoise Tomb for interrogation.
Bai Yu was also interrogated.
On the way, he remained calm and used the last of his reserve experience to upgrade a spell called "True and False Mind Technique" to a great level.
This is an Earth Rank Low Grade spell. Its only function is to temporarily tamper with one's own memory and resist spells such as Power Word and Inquiry.
To deceive others, deceive yourself first, make the lie come true, and deceive yourself until you believe it.
In a stone room, Judge Tie interrogated Bai Yu personally.
Judge Tie looked at Bai Yu and said coldly:
"Impermanence, please tell the story exactly as it is."
Naturally, Bai Yu was not afraid, and just said that he was resting that night. When he woke up the next day and heard the sound of whistles and gongs, he knew that he was possessed by the devil.
Judge Iron asked again:
"Did you notice anything unusual before and after the incident?"
Bai Yu frowned, pretending to be deep in thought.
After a while, he tentatively said:
"Master Iron Judge, there was something wrong before. I don't know if it's abnormal or not."
Judge Iron knocked on the table:
"But there's no harm in talking!"
Bai Yu said:
"In our Black Tortoise tomb, we have talking puppets outside each tomb, just to distract the monsters."
"During this period, the red demon in tomb No. 8 was quarreling with the puppet, and accidentally said that someone would come to save it, and then the entire Demon Burial Tower would be killed."
Iron Judge’s eyes were like daggers:
"Why don't you report in the morning?"
Bai Yu said awkwardly:
"This... monster has so many crazy words. Nine out of ten of them will say they want to kill us all. No one knows which one is true."
"And we don't dare to think too much about it. Qing Feng had too much contact with monsters before and became possessed by them."
Judge Iron suddenly stood up:
"This matter is too important. I will ask the Patriarch to conduct a strict investigation."
A red devil ran away, and by coincidence it said that someone would come to help him. It was no wonder that Iron Judge didn't take it seriously.
He didn't even interrogate him and just left the stone room.
Outside the stone room, he looked at a scribe beside him.
"Is what Impermanence said true?"
The scribe said:
"The soul judgment stone didn't react much, which means that his soul is not fluctuating much. It's 90% likely that he didn't lie."
Judge Iron looked solemn:
"If Wu Chang didn't lie, then the problem would be even more serious. There might be a spy sneaking in! Report it to the local officials and generals immediately!"
In the stone chamber, Bai Yu waited quietly.
All I could hear was the sound of gongs and drums outside, and the sound was extraordinary.
Looking at the posture, I'm afraid it won't be over for a while.
He was not in a hurry and started practicing in the stone room.
During this period, Judge Iron also invited the portrait of the Patriarch to come in and asked Bai Yu under the portrait of the Patriarch.
Three days later, the door of the stone chamber opened with a "squeak".
Judge Iron walked in:
"Impermanence, you can go out!"
Bai Yu said:
"Master Iron Judge, did you catch the red devil?"
Iron Judge had no expression on his face:
"The matter is over. Two red demons disguised as blue demons were found in the tomb of Black Tortoise. One of them should be the escaped shadow demon, seizing the body and disguised as a blue demon."
"And a traitor was caught!"
