Chapter 474: The Corrupt Beast (6)
Yes! Since these three children touched the evil beast on the same day, the process of demonization of the three of them should also be the same. Why did Zhou Faning's daughter take the lead in completing the demonization, but his two sons have human consciousness for the time being?
Chen Shuqing proposed a hypothesis: "Is it because of gender relations? Women's demonization process is faster than men?"
Zhu Yuanliang said without hesitation: "Yes, such an obvious fact is in front of you, do you still need to ask?"
Pu Zixuan, who was in the game, did not immediately agree. After thinking for a while, he asked Zhou Faning: "You said that your three children only started to grow hair after they returned home. In other words, when they were in Chengde Summer Resort, all three were still fine, right?"
"Yes." Zhou Faning nodded, "When they were in Chengde Summer Resort, because the weather was hot, the three of them were wearing thin clothes and sometimes even shirtless. Therefore, I remember very clearly that during that time, their bodies were in good health and nothing was strange."
Pu Zixuan asked again: "So, did they touch the rabbit the first day after leaving Chengde Summer Resort?"
After all, Zhou Faning was the same as Pu Zixuan. He only learned about the three children and rabbit this day, so he couldn't answer, so he turned his head and looked at Zhou Qisheng.
Zhou Qisheng denied without thinking: "That's not. After touching the rabbit, we were still there for a few days."
"So, this is the strange thing..." Pu Zixuan thoughtfully, "It took so long after you touched the rabbit. I just touched it last night. Why did you start to grow hair today? This fully shows that the speed of mutation has nothing to do with gender, but with something else."
After Pu Zixuan's guidance, Zhu Yuanliang suddenly realized and said, "Sure enough, things are not as simple as we imagined. There must be reasons why we ignore them!"
Su Sanniang couldn't help but laugh and joked: "Fatty, do you always come to wrong conclusions or say some correct nonsense, and when can you make some sudden opinions?"
"Isn't that the evil beast that I brought up?" Zhu Yuanliang said unconvincedly, "Well, since that's the case, I'll say a few more words. The three children were safe and sound in Chengde Summer Resort because they stayed in the Summer Resort all day and didn't move much, but their home is in Shuntian Mansion. The journey is long, and they grow hair after returning, which shows that the speed of demonization is related to the distance of movement. The same is true for Pu Zixuan. Our inn is nearly twenty miles away from Chengde Summer Resort. After you come back so far, you will immediately start to grow hair."
After hearing Zhu Yuanliang's analysis, Pu Zixuan's eyes lit up without finding a reason to refute, and said to himself: "Is that so? The further you go, the faster the demonization speed..."
The other companions also fell into deep thought. Seeing that no one questioned his views, Zhu Yuanliang asked Zhou Faning: "Does your three children be more active than your two sons?"
Zhou Faning thought for a while and said, "I seem to be a little enlightened after hearing what you said. Yes, these three dolls have been ridiculed by other children in the village since they started to grow hair. They are increasingly dislike making friends with outsiders, locking themselves in the room on the second floor all day long and not moving around. But they are children after all, and how torment would it be if they don't go out all day? In contrast, their daughters can't stand loneliness and walk around their homes alone, but they won't walk too far."
Zhou Qisheng also recalled: "It's true. Sometimes we need to go downstairs to do something, but my brother and I don't want to walk around, and my sister will help us go downstairs to do it."
Everyone immediately understood something. Thinking about the time when Zhou Faning asked three children to take off the veil in the second floor room, the three children were unwilling to do so at first, but Zhou Xiaojin stood up first and took the initiative to take off the veil. This is enough to show that Zhou Xiaojin, as a girl, has a stronger sense of responsibility than the two boys.
Seeing that everything was as he had speculated, Zhu Yuanliang was very proud and said: "That's right. Whether in Chengde Summer Resort or in your home, because the distance of walking is very short, the changes in your three children can be almost negligible in the past year. However, when we walked from Shuntian Mansion, the distance was very far, which suddenly greatly accelerated their demonization process, and my daughter was the first to reach the boundary, so..."
Zhu Yuanliang originally wanted to say, "So it has officially become a monster this day", but when he saw Zhou Faning's sad expression, he felt unbearable again and took back the words he said.
When Zhou Qisheng heard this, he immediately blamed himself: "As soon as possible, I shouldn't have let my sister do so many things. If we do a little by one, we won't have come to this point today... Especially for me, who is my brother, I would rather be the one who becomes a bear demon today...."
Pu Zixuan patted Zhou Qisheng on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't blame yourself too much. Now, you have at least three good news: First, as long as you and your younger brother stay in this inn, there will be no danger; Second, the culprit is that the beast has been confirmed, as long as we kill it, all curses will be lifted; Third, I am now in the same sympathy as you, and I am as anxious as you. Not to mention anything else, even in order to save myself, I must get rid of the hateful little white rabbit as soon as possible!"
After hearing this, Chen Shuqing couldn't help but tease, "You really can comfort people. But have you ever thought about how to find the Ei Beast?" Pu Zixuan thought for a while and said, "This depends on whether the Ei Beast hated the little demon by chance, or the claws of the mysterious demon king. If it was the former, we would put the matter in the underground palace, and we would have to penetrate into the Chengde Summer Resort and do our best to find its trace; if it was the latter, we would proceed as planned and take the demon king's nest." Then, Pu Zixuan glanced at everyone and asked, "What about your opinions?"
While everyone was still thinking, Zhu Yuanliang spoke first: "I think it should be an independent little monster, because when every ancient book talks about the beast, it only mentions itself and never mentions any related monsters. It must be a pleasure to deceive people and wander around the world. Whoever touches it will cheat it!"
Chen Shuqing disagreed and said, "I don't know that those ancient books were written by people hundreds or thousands of years ago. Even if the Ei Beast was still a wandering little monster at that time, the pattern of the demon world had undergone great changes after the Qing army entered the pass. Many of the original wild monsters surrendered to some monsters with greater power in order to survive. Otherwise, why did Zhou Faning and Xiao Qi encounter it inside the Chengde Mountain Resort? Could it be that it has only wandered in the Chengde Mountain Resort this year?"
"I agree with Chen Shuqing's point of view," Shadali added, "And, haven't you noticed it? There are so many people in Chengde's Summer Resort, why are there no curse of the beasts? It only targets outsiders, which is enough to show that it is not a wise wild monster, but pretends to be harmless, but is actually quietly choosing targets in the dark."
Su Sanniang also said, "Yes, there is another doubt: it was originally a rabbit demon, but why did it fall into a bear demon in the end when it cursed? This is very different from other superpower monsters we encountered before. I can only think that its master is a bear demon. It is increasing its master's military strength according to its master's requirements, so it adjusted its magic to this way."
Next, Yu Xiangdi, Sun Xiaoshu, and even Zhou Faning all expressed their agreement with the views of the three women.
"It seems that this time, the truth should be in the hands of a lady." Pu Zixuan patted Zhu Yuanliang on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "But Fatty doesn't have to be depressed. After all, in this round of reasoning, you have performed very well in general. Without your throwing bricks and jade, there would be no conclusions below."
Zhu Yuanliang smiled bitterly and said angrily: "Anyway, the person who was cursed is you, not me. Whatever you say is, is it!"
