Chapter 282 Death Diary
"Of course I believe what Contra says!"
Dales hastily expressed his opinion, "Since that Soul Sect sneaked into my Falling Star City, it is possible that it will affect the order in the city, and may even have plans against me!"
“Ms. Roman, please rest assured. I will immediately increase the patrols in the city to help you investigate!”
Romantina thanked him: "Then I'll trouble you, Lord Mayor."
"What are you talking about, trouble or not?"
Dales spoke righteously and loudly, "Thanks to the efforts of the Spirit Hall, Tiandou and Xingluo have been able to coexist peacefully! My Luoxing City and your Notting City are neighbors, so how can we not help? Miss Roman, don't be so polite!"
Afterwards, without even drinking his tea, Darles immediately ordered a group of patrol personnel from the city to be transferred over. He also temporarily summoned some adventurers from the Falling Star Adventure Guild to assist Romantina in finding the Soul Sect.
This behavior is full of sincerity!
During this process, Youhui also noticed the difference between the way Darles treated her and Romantina, so she looked at Darles with a hint of vigilance...
···
"That's it!"
The moment Darles left the mansion, Zhou Qing and Xiao Wu, led by Tang San, climbed over the wall into the courtyard and found the study.
At this time, there was only a soul guide lamp on the desk, and the rest of the things had been put into the bookshelf.
"Come to think of it, are we breaking into a private residence?" Zhou Qing made a little joke.
"Is there any point in saying this now?"
Tang San was speechless, if the three of them were discovered, every one of them would have to go to jail.
"Just to liven up the atmosphere." Zhou Qing didn't care. He smiled and said to Xiao Wu, "You stay here and keep an eye out for anyone coming in. Xiao San and I will go in."
"it is good."
Xiao Wu nodded, grabbed the handle of the soul guide lamp, and turned it counterclockwise at first. When she found it was a bit stuck, she turned it clockwise.
Suddenly, the bookshelves behind the desk moved to both sides and separated, revealing a hole leading downwards. A ladder was hung on the side close to the wall.
Tang San took out two soul guide Zhuge divine crossbows, which were of the second version. He handed one to Zhou Qing and climbed down first.
After all, as a disciple of the Tang Clan, he knows a lot about mechanisms and hidden weapons, so he can go down first and explore the way.
Zhou Qing followed closely behind.
Xiao Wu turned the soul guide lamp counterclockwise, causing the bookshelf that was separated to both sides to close again. She walked out of the door and looked around. After making sure that no one would come in the short time, she walked to the bookshelf and looked through the books on it, trying to see if she could find any other clues.
"'Death Diary'? Signed by: Hu Fangyuan!"
While searching for books, Xiao Wu found such a diary in a secret compartment of the bookshelf. Out of curiosity, she flipped through the first page and her eyes widened three points.
The first page of this diary records the causes of all deaths and disappearances in and around Falling Star City over the past six years, and even before that.

[One day, my father died. When I was sorting out his belongings, I discovered the secret of my family. Our great-grandfather was once a member of the Fallen, studying the secrets of martial spirit evolution...
For nearly two hundred years, my grandfather and great grandfather have been assisting the Lord of Falling Star City.
My father was planning to give up and seal everything... But I didn't want to! As a spirit-eating insect, I had to take shortcuts to improve my cultivation quickly, even if it meant becoming a fallen being! 】
There was a paragraph that was crossed out and the handwriting was unclear, but Xiao Wu still felt a chill.
There really are Fallen People in this Falling Star City and the City Lord’s Mansion!
Xiao Wu immediately turned to the next page and found that the contents of the record were all about this fallen person whose martial soul was the spirit insect, secretly capturing villagers from the village outside Luoxing City and conducting cruel experiments. Because the small village was remote and some people were missing, Luoxing City and the nearby small towns would not ask about it. Moreover, when this fallen person captured villagers, he would try his best to choose villages that had no quota for work-study students, or even no quota for shared work-study students.
cautious!
insidious!
That’s why this fallen man was able to hide for so many years!
Continuing to flip through the pages, Xiao Wu discovered that the last page recorded content that happened one or two months apart, and it didn't look like a diary, but more like a list of victims.
The recorder also noted the reason for this:
Out of respect for experimental materials and cultivation resources, he would write down the name, origin, and family of each person he used for experiments.
If a person becomes the experimental material of this fallen one, then he will no longer look for this person's direct bloodline... unless the martial soul of this experimental material has undergone a more special mutation.
"The fallen ones are the real perverts!"
Xiao Wu's lips trembled as she discovered that Romantina's "perversion" was limited to verbal stimulation and strange body movements after her sensitive points were triggered.
And this depraved person is completely playing with human lives!
Then, Xiao Wu thought of something and quickly flipped through the pages to check the date in the diary.
The Soul Sect they are hunting down can sense the spiritual power of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and its martial soul is suspected to be a spirit-eating insect. The martial soul of the person who wrote this diary is also a spirit-eating insect. Looking at the description in the first article, it is likely that the mastermind behind the peculiar soul guide core formation set up in Luoxing City is really related to the Soul Sect they are hunting down!
A family plan passed down from generation to generation!
"found it!"

[The deputy city lord has temporarily taken over the city lord's position for nearly ten years, and finally a new master has arrived!
It is said that this new master is from Xingluo City and has offended other dignitaries... He is extremely dissatisfied with taking office in this remote place.
So, I persuaded some civilian soul masters who were oppressed by the nobles and had no achievements to assassinate Darles. Then, in the process, I killed those civilian soul masters and saved his life, so as to gain his initial trust.
There is a secret room in the City Lord's Mansion, which hides a passage that leads directly to the outside of the city. It was planned by my ancestors. Now, thanks to my life-saving grace to Darles, I have regained control of this secret room and concealed the passage from him in order to plan for the future!
I wonder if Darles gets into trouble in the future and can't escape from this Falling Star City, will he be furious? Hehe! How exciting! 】
[Douluo calendar year 2115, January ]
【Weather: Sunny】
[When Darles learned that I was a Fallen, his face turned ugly, but he finally chose to cooperate with me! I think he had offended a lot of people in Xingluo City, and he hoped that I could continue to protect him at the critical moment!
Mutual use?
It suits my taste.
And Darles also used the name of restoring order in the city to make an example of me and sent me experimental materials and cultivation resources.
The first time, he sent me a couple.
Because of my deep respect for the experimental materials, I found out the origins of this couple - there was a newborn baby in Holy Soul Village...】
