Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 430: The Man Who Called for Help

...

The food shortage in Shenzhou did not cause the slightest disturbance in Jinxia City.

It is not propaganda slogans that give the public confidence, but the real boatloads of fresh fish. Whenever you go to the pier, you can see flat ice ships loading and unloading goods-the fish in a cold storage can be eaten by everyone in Jinxia City for several days, and there are more than ten such warehouses beside the yard. And it's still being built.

With the proficiency and improvement of fishing technology, the two tree boats can fish five or six times a day, and they can work as usual even at night. The production of marine fish can be said to be rising steadily. Now every time the tree boat returns to the east bank to unload, it has become a unique scenic spot in Jinxia City. Whether it is foreign businessmen or migrants who come here for fame, they will all come to the east gate to enjoy the magnificent view of these two island-like tree boats puffing and puffing fish mountains.

The anti-spies work of the General Affairs Bureau is also going very smoothly - unlike Anshen, Baihe and other towns, the reputation of the General Affairs Bureau in the hearts of Jinxia people can be said to be infinitely high. The public is extremely disgusted with the Privy Council's approach. Seizing power and usurping the throne may be too far away from everyone, but the people who burn food, explode mines and destroy the system are ordinary people, which can easily resonate with everyone, so it can be said that they spare no effort to follow the spies.

As long as any spy shows a little bit of cheating, or expresses the intention of wooing others, he will be reported to the secretariat in all likelihood. It’s not that no one tried to reproduce the conspiracy of the Baisha Mine, and started to attack the Xinji Construction Bureau, the salt farm, and the granary, but they basically failed in the planning and acquisition stage, adding a lot of coolies to the mine for nothing.

In addition, the contact with Liuzhou was cut off, and it was difficult for the spies who infiltrated to join forces. Therefore, most people chose to hide and rely on street news and Shen Jin's weekly report to survive.

This is reflected in the report of the General Affairs Bureau as the number of cases involving spies has decreased, and it has dropped to zero in the last week.

Without the interrogates who need to use illusions to investigate, Li's life is much more relaxed. Her injuries have recovered half a month ago. Whenever she is not studying, she will call Shang Shanhui and Ning Qing to wander around the city. It is not only to find suspicious faces, but also to continue to practice its great cause of phishing law enforcement.

However, Li soon discovered that the gains from this action are almost gone now. If there were still a few people who were full of prejudice against monsters before, the appearance of Chi almost broke the last barrier with a force of destruction.

The dragon girl happens to have the dual attributes of a demon and a holy beast, and she is born with the ability to restrain prejudice. If it is a prejudice to say that monsters are evil, why is it that dragons symbolize auspicious omens?

These two diametrically opposite prejudices have bridged the gap, and the concert at the New Year Ceremony has made Chi famous in one fell swoop. Now she will attract everyone's attention and greetings whenever she shows up on the street, and she has become the new darling of Jinxia people. This influence not only made her popular, but also benefited other monsters.

Just because Chi is the rumored real dragon.

Even Li felt somewhat sincerely envious of this.

When wandering around for several days without any results, the fox demon suddenly realized that the seemingly impossible promise Xia Fan made in Qingshan Town had unexpectedly become a reality without realizing it.

She can walk around all day with her ears and tail exposed without being pointed at or badly spoken to. Not only her, but also Shanhui and Ningqing—even if everyone has never seen Qinggui's horn, at most they just look at it curiously, and no one will run away screaming, let alone throwing stones at her.

Ningqing even felt that her life in Jinxia City was easier than some towns on Yama Island. After all, Dongsheng's hostile attitude towards demons had gradually affected the views of the people in places where the power of the great witch could not reach.

Just when Li thought that Jinxia City no longer needed her to stand up as a target and rectify the name of the demon, an accident broke the peace of the past. The three of them walked through the demolition of the southern city wall as usual, and when they approached the newly constructed residential area, a little girl caught up with them panting, and handed a roll of paper to Li.

The fox demon took it curiously and said, "For me?"

The latter nodded vigorously.

Li opened the scroll, his expression froze.

I saw a short sentence written on it: "Please save me!"

"Did something happen?" Natsuki asked sharply.

Li handed the note to the green-faced ghost, and at the same time asked the little girl, "Who gave you this?"

"An uncle, he said that he would give it to the elder sister with long ears." She replied flatly, "He also said that the caller is in the warehouse in the southwest corner."

"Then what are we waiting for, let's save people!" Shan Hui said while taking big strides—these few days of wandering are far less fulfilling than before the winter, and now that he finally has something to wait for, he suddenly feels full of energy .

But before taking two steps, Tengu backed up the same way, because he saw the other two people were motionless.

"What do you think?" Li looked at Nina Qing.

The latter pondered for Xiaohui, "Is it a trap? If the caller is familiar with you, it can be explained. Otherwise, how could this person know that you are nearby when he is locked in the warehouse, and designated to send the call for help to you?" Leave it to you? Besides, asking for help is not something shady, I can't think of the need for the other party to ask the little girl to hand it over."

"It is indeed full of loopholes." Li agreed, "The question is, whether it is someone who is malicious to the demon or the secret agent of the Privy Council that lured us over."

"What are you going to do?" Natsuki asked.

"Of course it's a direct response." She said without hesitation, "I'd like to see what tricks these people can pull off."

Of the two answers, Li preferred the former, because no matter how stupid the Privy Council was, it would not be able to set up such a clumsy trap.

"As expected of Master Li!" Shan Hui clenched his fists, "Let me go to the warehouse to check first!"

"No, you stay outside." Li resolutely refused, "In case of any accident, you can still report for everyone - after all, no one can run faster than you."

When approaching the southwest corner of the construction site, there were significantly fewer people around. Although this is part of the Jinxia City New District planning, it is not the focus of construction now, and it is also far away from the old city wall, so it is already considered a suburban part. If you want to choose a remote place to do it, this is indeed a good choice.

But this is the same for Li.

Even if she transforms into a giant fox, not many people will notice.

After confirming that there were no abnormalities around the warehouse, Li pushed open the half-closed wooden door and walked into the warehouse where building materials were piled up.

There was only one man standing inside, who seemed to be waiting for her arrival.

Judging from his posture, he was neither tied up nor showed signs of being beaten. In other words, life-saving was out of the question.

So this person is the instigator?

Li Zheng was about to ask questions, but unexpectedly, the other party took off his hat first, and bowed deeply to her, "I finally see you, Master Linghu."
