Chapter 405

The "Book of Planting Fire" was something Pei Ye had not expected, but understood instantly after seeing it.

"Yang Hu", "Liu Bei", "Guan Yu", "Zhang Fei". After many Play Faces died, their bodies would be burned to ashes in an instant by a great fire.

It originated from the fire seed planted in their bodies.

Pei Ye slowly flipped through this book. Using Play Face as a code name, it recorded 47 names in detail, including their locations, the matters they were plotting, and their current progress.

And under each person's name, there was a note—Fire Master: Sima.

"We heard that Young Hero Pei has fought against this kind of flame and stopped its self-combustion," Hongliang said, "Young Hero Pei's thoughts can help us understand the meaning of this book more accurately."

Zhang Xiaozhu narrowed his eyes: "Is there any basis?"

The root of everything was just speculation.

Pei Ye nodded: "Sorry for the trouble."

". Yes."

Pei Ye was silent for a while: "I know that Huan Si Lou is divided into two identities: 'Play Guest' and 'Play Ghost'. The fire seed is only planted in the body of the 'Play Ghost'. After the person dies, the fire rises from the dantian and is used to destroy the corpse and erase traces. Everything written in this book should be Play Ghosts. The corpses of 'Zhang He' and 'Guo Huai' did not self-combust after they died, so they are not included."

Trading freedom and life for the power of Huan Si Lou to obtain this thing that has suppressed the Hushanjian Sect for thousands of years. Then, before obtaining it, even if Huan Si Lou has been defeated, would he really save his life and leave?

In the snowy valley, in front of the bronze hall, that angry, painful young face seemed to float behind the black robe. Pei Ye naturally recognized it, or rather, except for Pei Ye, no one in this world recognized it anymore.

Indeed, the things he could think of, the two adults had already thought through clearly. This made him feel much more relaxed. Then, if this possibility were indeed true, what would happen?

Pei Ye lowered his head again and looked at this book. It did not contain the three Play Faces of 【Sun】, 【Liu】, and 【Cao】, all of whom were lower-level pulse-tree cultivators. However, an uncontrollable guess still slowly rose from his mind like a ghost.

Zhang Xiaozhu suddenly said: "I think there is a 20% chance."

"I don't know how to turn it into that kind of fire seed, but the result should be similar." The black cat said.

Pei Ye looked at the dissipating sparks in a daze, suddenly turned his head to look at the little cat on his shoulder. The jade-like eyes were looking at him calmly.

Zhang Xiaozhu looked at him: "—Perhaps that 【Other Shore Treasure Raft】 did not take nothing away. In that half of the broken body, the 【Xi Ting Heart】 was sent to an unknown place."

"But since you have already fantasized, why not fantasize to the end?" Zhang Xiaozhu looked at him, "Perhaps Sima is such a suspicious person. The formation diagram drawn on his body is already his last trump card. On this trump card, he will not trust anyone."

But the next moment it suddenly turned into a jade-like red. Pei Ye retracted his hand abruptly, his hand had been burned to a red heat.

"Because that fire seed can not only destroy the corpse and erase traces." Pei Ye said, "It can be triggered by the host, so it should also be able to be triggered by the 'Fire Master'."

Precisely because of such a relationship of absolute control.

Pei Ye looked at the empty space without saying a word. Then, how is this control established?

". No wonder." Hongliang sighed in a daze, "This organization is even more rigorous than the Immortal Platform."

The strength of some people is always clearly written on their appearance. That sword wrapped in fine chains was placed by the table, and a touch of it would cause a feeling of horror. The man was one-armed, and he was also as fierce as this sword, ready to be unsheathed at any time.

He put down his pen, Hongliang closed the door and left, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Pei Ye paused slightly: ". Less than half a percent."

Seeing the young man in front of him close his mouth with a serious expression, he reached out and pointed: "It's in the back hall of the Law Enforcement Hall. Shall I take you there, Young Hero?"

Pei Ye cupped his hands, said the matter of the "Book of Planting Fire" just now, and then said in a low voice: "Platform Master Zhang, Inspector Sui told me before that the 【Xi Ting Heart】 was not found on Sima, and suspected that it was taken away by Qu Zhu, right?"

This matter was settled, his heart felt relaxed, Pei Ye went out and looked south from afar.

————

He didn't hold any power, but had spent twenty years with his life in the hands of others. Then, what was all this he did for Huan Si Lou for?

"If it's not convenient for her." Pei Ye was stunned for a moment. This question was a bit caught off guard. After getting used to it for a few days, he was not ready to leave the white clothes, "Then let's wait a bit more, it's nothing."

Pei Ye recalled the morning at the Changdao Martial Arts Hall in a daze. At that time, the deepest darkness had not yet revealed its shadow. In the bright morning light, the green-skirted girl leaned beside him and pointed to the corner of her eye with a smile: "Do you want to learn?"

He thought in a daze, until his gaze fell on the note "Fire Master: Sima" again and he was suddenly shocked.

Because of reading sword principles, he had a special attention to single characters and words—why say "Master"?

Pei Ye also smiled slightly and put the book in his hand back on the case, but his brows were still furrowed.

Behind the faint shadows of the mountains is the prefecture city of the fifty prefectures of Shao Long. Sword talent gathering, haha.

Inspector Sui said to wait in the prefecture city, which actually only left him one more day. Pei Ye looked at the sky and turned his head to smile: "Let's go see Miss Ming. If it's convenient for her, we will set off tomorrow morning!"

Pei Ye raised his head abruptly.

". Brother Hongliang." Pei Ye held the young man's forearm and said in a low voice, "May I ask where Platform Master Zhang is now?"

Of course, perhaps Sima was already a member of the highest group. When the number of people is small enough, absolute control is not necessarily needed.

"Oh." The black cat nodded and sighed lightly, "Parting is the main melody of life, Pei Ye."

Zhang Xiaozhu said: "We did find a few faint dark catches in 【Sima】's body."

He said with a smile that he wanted to, and then watched the girl peel off the mask of "Yang Hu".

"."

And when Sima chased out of the Sword Belly Mountain, would he hand the 【Xi Ting Heart】 to Qu Zhu?

He would definitely find a way to take it away.

Zhang Xiaozhu nodded and slowly leaned back in his chair.

". No basis." Pei Ye said in a low voice, "It's just a sudden thought, and there is no way to verify it. Platform Master Zhang, I may be influenced by obsessions and emotions, it's just that I have to say it, for your consideration."

"."

Pei Ye was silent for a while: "I still think so now. This is the most normal and most likely fact. It's just that after seeing the 'Book of Planting Fire' just now. I couldn't help but have some absurd thoughts."

"But feel free to say it."

This Platform Master immediately understood his thoughts.

Pei Ye continued in a calm tone: "Qu Zhu is a crucial link in this case. It was he who took the people of Huan Si Lou to the Hushanjian Sect to obtain the 【Xi Ting Heart】, and it was also he who designed the 【Soul-Taking Bead】 and completed the 【Mirror Dragon Sword Sea】 formation with one hand. He and 【Sima】 are the two most core people of Huan Si Lou. One of them hunted down Miss Ming, and the other took away the 【Xi Ting Heart】. This is a development that cannot be found fault with, and I also believe that this is a simple and clean fact."

"Is that so? I want to shout: Xu Cunxin resigned and left immediately after reading the 'Book of Planting Fire', and has since disappeared—"

Fire Master.

A core member of Huan Si Lou as powerful as Qu Zhu is the only one who left everyone behind in this case. Wishfully guessing that he is a "Fire Slave" is indeed the obsession of a young man.

Pei Ye shook his head: "Since Play Guests live in towns, even if there is no corpse left, it is easy to know who is missing. Play Ghosts, on the other hand, burn with a fire, and there is really no trace left—"

Zhang Xiaozhu sighed lightly. Pei Ye then discovered that this room had been completely isolated at some point. The man said: "Before Inspector Sui left, we actually discussed similar possibilities."

He suddenly thought of the cold tool-like feeling of Play Ghosts, as if they had no life and no desire, not only abandoning their identities when they were alive, but also leaving no corpse after death. Is this "slave"?

"If it is indeed as we fantasized, then Huan Si Lou still needs to carry out an action around it." Zhang Xiaozhu said, "We didn't alert 【Sima】, and only the three of us know about this. I and Inspector Sui have already discussed the details. In five days at most, we will tell Young Hero Pei the result."

Until the little cat on his shoulder suddenly flicked a small grain of faint blue flame, which slowly drifted into Pei Ye's field of vision. Pei Ye touched it subconsciously. It was neither hot nor cold, quiet and harmless.

Pei Ye widened his eyes.

Pei Ye nodded: "I think so."

A feeling became clearer—the product of "Play Ghost" is actually closer to the "essence" of Huan Si Lou. The fire seed and the faceless are both incredible peculiarities, which is the reason why they want to destroy themselves.

Pei Ye took a deep breath, slowly closed the "Book of Planting Fire" in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Hongliang: "I have a guess without evidence—this is their most core roster. The people on it represent absolute controllable power. Or rather, people under restraint."

This violent flame almost burned a hole in the air.

"What does Young Hero Pei think is the reason?" Hongliang leaned against the case, "Play Guests have faces and identities, shouldn't they destroy the corpse more? Since Play Ghosts are 'non-human', why plant fire?"

Pei Ye was quiet.

If the structure of Huan Si Lou is so distinct in levels, then is there a higher will above, and how do he or they ensure the absolute obedience of 【Sima】?

Hongliang was stunned: "Why—"

He knew he had no evidence to convince the Immortal Platform, but he couldn't forge the basis either, so he was silent for a while, wanting to speak again.

Qu Zhu will not go far.

Everything is about to be successful. Sima doesn't know that he will face the descent of the Immortal Monarch next, and he doesn't know that he, who is drawn with the formation diagram, will not even be able to leave. He, who is in almost perfect condition, will of course hold everything in his own hands. Handing the core object to a seriously injured person is just creating extra trouble.

"Don't be surprised. Almost every time a Mystic Gate member is killed or captured, half of their trump cards haven't been used yet." Zhang Xiaozhu smiled faintly, "The power that hasn't burst out doesn't represent anything. It's just that we hope that it is a trump card that can still be triggered."

That figure appeared in front of his eyes again. Rainy night, tattered black robe, blood-stained grey hair, weird and cold Play Face. Pei Ye suddenly saw another him behind this picture.

"Perhaps." Pei Ye said slowly, "It is precisely to burn away this 'non-human'."

". You mean, through the fire seed, Sima controls the life and death of all Play Ghosts at any time, and a simple action can turn them into ashes in an instant?"

". What?"

"But there is another small possibility if my guess is correct."

But he had actually seen Play Ghosts that didn't turn into ashes.

Most likely not.

If Qu Zhu has an "Immortal Fire Seed" planted on him, then he doesn't have the right to take the 【Xi Ting Heart】 on his own.

Pei Ye shook his head, put away his scattered thoughts, and furrowed his brows again.

Pei Ye felt admiration in his heart. When the Immortal Platform really took over everything, he really didn't need to worry about more things, so he cupped his hands and said goodbye.

In the quiet, someone suddenly laughed: "Where is the Immortal Platform rigorous? If I don't want to work today, I'll be fined ten taels of silver at most."

"Young Hero Pei, please sit down. What is it?" The man reached out and invited, his eyes looking at him.

"What if it's not convenient for her?" The black cat said, "Do we leave early?"

This is simple logic. Qu Zhu and 【Sima】 are not equal power holders. Things like 【Xi Ting Heart】 and "Sword Strategy" can only be held by 【Sima】 alone. Qu Zhu is not unable to carry them, but everything must first have 【Sima】's authorization.

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused himself—yes, what traces are they trying to annihilate on the Play Ghosts?

"Then the 【Xi Ting Heart】 may not be in Qu Zhu's hands yet." Zhang Xiaozhu said.

That was not a suitable time.

Hongliang listened quietly.

That is natural. When Pei Ye came, he thought he would have to spend a lot of words to persuade this Platform Master to pay for his sudden idea. Now that the Immortal Platform is willing to spend so much energy to set up the last net, it is already an unexpected joy. If there is really no result, then it should be left for another day. He is no longer a child who would cry and make a scene for failure.

"Not bad. After Sima and the other left Sword Belly Mountain, the Peak Masters entered and only saw several Peak Masters whose life and death were unknown. The Sword Dragon had already collapsed, and both the Heart Mirror and the Xi Ting Heart were missing." Zhang Xiaozhu's voice was naturally low and flat, "Now that it is not on Sima, we suspect that it disappeared with Qu Zhu."

The room was suddenly quiet.

Pei Ye looked at the empty space in a daze, and the green flying skirt seemed to be lingering. He clearly remembered that no matter what kind of predicament, the girl always showed him a joyful smile. If she had been by his side these days, even if he felt heavy in his heart, his face would definitely be amused by her from time to time.

Now that things are settled, it's time to write her a good letter.

"Because the 【Heart Mirror】 is in Sima's hands. He took it off the Mirror Dragon before leaving, so taking the 【Xi Ting Heart】 off it separately is a somewhat redundant, or too far-sighted action." Zhang Xiaozhu said, "Although we indeed didn't find it on 【Sima】 or any place he has been, we still want to face this fantasy squarely."

Zhang Xiaozhu raised his head from behind the case, looking at the young man with some surprise.

Revealing a weird face as bright as dough.

"Most likely knows, he may have already taken it away."

Of course it is the 【Xi Ting Heart】.

Xu Cunxin hurriedly rushed over to cover his mouth: "Good brother! I still have a wife and daughter at home."

"So I think," Pei Ye continued, "people on the roster must surrender everything they have, including their lives, and only after being granted the powerful power of the fire seed did they gain the trust of Huan Si Lou."

Zhang Xiaozhu was silent for a moment: "What percentage does Young Hero Pei think this might have?"

"Do you think Qu Zhu might also have an 'Immortal Fire Seed' planted on him?"

". Would Qu Zhu not know where this place is?"

Zhang Xiaozhu nodded slightly, picked up his pen again, and said seriously: "Young Hero Pei, please rest assured. Since the Immortal Platform has taken over this case, even if it is the last absurd possibility, we will bite it to the end. It's just that if it really ends up as drawing water with a bamboo basket, that should also be expected. I hope the Young Hero won't make things difficult for yourself."

"."

"Except for me." It added calmly.
