Demon, don't come any closer!

Chapter 31 I have Xiang Yu's will, to suppress all enemies.

startled.

Dou Changsheng was truly shocked.

This was completely unexpected.

But Dou Changsheng had to admit one thing: it was surprisingly effective.

Such a bloody scene would not have been done by anyone unless they were forced into it, but the effect was outstanding.

How could a demon who has infiltrated them possibly know the code they set? Of course, it's easy to make mistakes with the code. It's better to just cut off a finger. Demons can change their appearance, but they cannot change their physical structure. They are different from humans.

If the constable with the severed finger is truly a demon, then the moment the finger leaves the body, it will begin to revert to its original form. For a wolf demon, it will be a wolf claw; for a tiger demon, it will be a tiger claw. Therefore, this can be used to determine whether someone is human or not.

This method is simple and quick, but it does require some finger dexterity.

If they couldn't keep up, these guys would probably have to retire. But as soon as this idea came up, Dou Changsheng rejected it. These guys were all rank-3 martial artists, considered the elite of Lang County, and were Wang Butou's trusted lieutenants.

How could Chief Constable Wang possibly let them be wiped out in one go? He must have prepared the necessary medicine beforehand. This incident also made Dou Changsheng realize that Chief Constable Wang was indeed quite capable.

In my previous life, I learned that the talent of a county is enough to govern a country.

So whether it was the Han Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, it wasn't that emperors and generals gathered together, but that they succeeded.

Dou Changsheng sighed inwardly, his gaze fixed on the constable whose finger was intact, while glancing at the system out of the corner of his eye. This mission was a stroke of luck, as it was completed directly.

[Mission Complete!]

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the bionic bead.]

[Bionic Bead: Rank 7, Consumable: 3, Effect: Summons a clone that mimics the appearance, equipment, and abilities of an enemy. Note: Originating from the Holy Mountain Palace, crafted for the royal court of the Sun and Moon Demon Court, specifically for creating portraits of nobles.]

[Empress System: The only one who can defeat an enemy is the enemy himself.]

Dou Changsheng was overjoyed at this sight. He knew that he had been under a lot of pressure lately, mainly because of his lack of strength. Even the head constable Wang, who bowed and scraped before him, was a seventh-rank martial arts expert.

If Constable Wang were to suddenly launch an attack, Dou Changsheng would be utterly powerless to resist; the disparity between the two sides was simply too great.

Dou Changsheng didn't even have internal energy, while Constable Wang had already cultivated true energy and gradually advanced to the level of Gang Qi, undergoing a complete transformation.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

Now they really have a trump card up their sleeve, what a good person.

This demon is a good person, and Officer Wang is the best of the best.

The seventh-grade biomimetic bead can mimic enemies. A precious bead silently emerged from Dou Changsheng's wide sleeves. Dou Changsheng gripped it tightly, feeling the cold touch of the bead. Dou Changsheng began to verify a guess.

The image of Constable Wang appeared in my mind, and the pearl in my hand began to radiate a faint warmth. It was obvious that imitating Constable Wang was easy. This enemy judgment was just a title; there was no need for strict enemy judgment, or rather, it was a matter of personal preference. I could simply treat Constable Wang as an enemy.

If that were the case, Dou Changsheng began to ponder the Taiyi God, but the pearl in his hand was ice-cold and unresponsive, a stark contrast to his earlier imitation of Constable Wang.

After a few simple attempts, Dou Changsheng had summarized his experience in using it. He had to see the target in person and not exceed the limit by too much. In other words, the strength could not be too strong. It was definitely not allowed to be above the third rank. Even if he could not exert his full strength and was stuck at the seventh rank, it would still not work.

Therefore, a figure quickly appeared in Dou Changsheng's mind.

That was the young boy I had met not long ago, Xiang Ji.

A surge of excitement welled up within him. Compared to Xiang Ji, what was Captain Wang? He wasn't even worthy of Xiang Ji's guidance. Even if they were at the same level, or even if they used the same martial arts and had the same equipment, Xiang Ji could easily defeat three or five Captain Wangs.

Xiang Ji, a seventh-rank official.

I'm invincible in Lang County.

The only downside is that this bionic bead is a consumable item and can only be used three times.

Strength is a man's greatest source of confidence. Dou Changsheng's back straightened a bit, and he calmly watched the situation unfold, observing how Constable Wang would handle it.

The demon was surrounded, but neither side made the first move. After confirming the demon's identity, Constable Wang maintained a standoff. Time ticked by, and finally, Constable Wang lost his patience and said in a deep voice, "Ditto!"

"You made an agreement with the previous county magistrate that the county would not care what you said in Fenglai, but you could not attack government officials. Now that you have attacked Zhou Li, you have violated the agreement."

"You need to know one thing: without the protection of the contract, the county can organize people to surround and suppress you at any time."

Dou Changsheng raised his head slightly. He had read through all the important documents from the county, especially those concerning demons. Perhaps due to time constraints, he hadn't read them in great detail, but if there were any demons like the one in front of him that could change shape, Dou Changsheng would definitely remember them.

But now, upon careful reflection, there are no clues whatsoever. This only proves one thing: many important documents were never put on paper. As for the issue of insufficient authority, Dou Changsheng never even considered it.

In terms of authority, he was not much less powerful than the county magistrate. If he really had information, he would not have hidden it from the county magistrate. The only explanation now is that this matter cannot be brought to light.

This small county town is full of shady dealings. Whether it's the Great Yellow Forest or the Ditto in front of us, everything is a secret. And that's not all. There are many more things that only God knows.

The Ditto's hoarse voice rang out: "Don't worry."

"I have not come here for your sake."

Ditto's gaze shifted to Dou Changsheng, who was deliberately keeping his distance and staying at a safe distance. He smiled and said, "I just happened to see this person."

"If my recent information is correct, this is the famous Master Dou."

"Manager Yang from Fenglaikou, with the help of Master Dou, successfully withdrew County Magistrate Lin's men back to the county. Now I also have a difficult matter to deal with."

"So I was planning to go to the county in a while, and now that I have just met you, I am so excited that I have come uninvited. Please forgive me, Master Dou."

Wang, the head constable, stood solemnly and consciously stepped aside so as not to block the monster's view. At the same time, he waved to his brothers to quickly pick up the fingers on the ground, as they couldn't wait too long or they would fall apart.

Dou Changsheng, who had originally intended to keep a low profile, has once again become the center of attention. His expression hasn't changed much, but his heart feels as if it has been squeezed hard by a strong and powerful hand.

Family, life is so hard.

Dou Changsheng encountered a ferocious tiger, and his rise to power had only been going on for a few days.

Its reputation is growing, not only in the city but also outside the city.

Especially since this isn't a good reputation; the label of "colluding with demons" is probably impossible to wash away.

Heartbreaking.

Dou Changsheng glanced at Constable Wang, who subconsciously shook his head. The movement was so subtle that it was impossible to notice the change unless one was watching closely.

The two completed a silent exchange. Officer Wang accurately understood the meaning behind Dou Changsheng's glance and clearly told Dou Changsheng that the Ditto was very strong and that they should avoid fighting if possible.

Dou Changsheng immediately understood. After all, Ditto had already attacked Constable Wang's brother, but Constable Wang had hesitated to take action to avenge his brother after discovering Ditto, precisely because he knew Ditto's background and that it was too powerful.

Ditto didn't care about these details. He deliberately paused for a while, giving everyone enough time to react. When he saw that the time was right, he continued, "Grandma Hu from the south of the city has a granddaughter who is dignified, elegant, gentle and kind."

"I would like to ask Master Dou to come to my home and ask Grandma Hu for my hand in marriage."

"I've been running my business in Fenglaikou for many years and have accumulated some wealth. If Grandma Hu thinks life outside the city is too tough, I can set up a business in the county and become a son-in-law. That's not out of the question."

"Grandma Hu knows my abilities and won't let me down."

Strands of black light continuously emerged from Zhou Li's body, swirling in mid-air and transforming into a black python composed of countless rays of light.

The black python was entirely black, constantly flicking its scarlet forked tongue. Its eyes were golden, with vertical pupils filled with coldness as it coldly stared at Dou Changsheng.

After losing the black python, Zhou Li staggered and almost fell to the ground, but was immediately supported by Constable Wang's strong arm. Constable Wang said against his will, "Thank you for showing mercy."

Dou Changsheng took a serious look at Zhou Li and breathed a sigh of relief. He was only being controlled, not swallowed whole by the Ditto and then transformed into Zhou Li's appearance.

Ditto was sincere; it wasn't there to provoke or cause trouble. This time, it was possessing someone. Even after severing one of its own fingers, Ditto couldn't detect it. Ditto could have followed along, but it remained motionless in the end, demonstrating its sincerity.

Dou Changsheng nodded and said, "If I have the chance, I will speak up for you."

"But you also need to know that this is a major life event, and it requires the consent of both parties. It's not something you can decide on your own. If Grandma Hu chooses to refuse, there's nothing I can do."

The scarlet forked tongue flicked out, extending from its mouth until it gently licked the slender snake's body. A cold voice rang out: "Don't worry, Master Dou."

"Whether things succeed or not, I will accept this favor."

"If you, Master Dou, have any troubles, you can come to Fenglaikou to find me."

Please!

The black python swam through the air and slowly disappeared into the horizon; it came quickly and left quickly.

This wasn't the first demon to make a promise to Dou Changsheng, nor would it be the last. This made Dou Changsheng very uneasy, because he was a human, and dealing with demons was incredibly easy for him these days.

They were all so easy to talk to that Dou Changsheng got the wrong idea and started to think that demons were more sincere than humans.

Nowadays, those people in Lang County, like Magistrate Cui Shuyu, are so cunning and scheming, always thinking about how to plot against you. They are truly despicable.

Head Constable Wang took out some medicine from his pocket and began to apply it to his brothers' wounds. Then he started to reattach the severed fingers and finally used the white cloth that had been prepared to wrap the wounds.

While applying the medication, I would occasionally glance at Dou Changsheng; the scene before me now felt like a dream.

Ditto's reputation has faded in recent years, not because he's reformed and started being kind, but because he's become more sophisticated at killing and knows how to use various accidents to deliberately cover up the impact of deaths.

Like the demon rats in Chenjiazhuang, which recklessly devour people, causing panic and prompting the county to send people to deal with it, the shapeshifting monster can cause people to fall into the water, get sick, or die in other ways. This would make people think it was a normal death, at most they would just sigh that they were unlucky, and they would never think that there was a demon involved.

Before Cui Shuyu arrived, when he was still the previous county magistrate, Ditto was quite famous. At his worst, he even blocked the entrance to the wind. Wang, the head constable, always thought Ditto was unpredictable and very difficult to deal with.

Now, after so many years, seeing each other again, Wang, the head constable, felt a sense of disorientation.

Is this still the Ditto I remember?

He didn't kill anyone, spared Zhou Li's life, and spoke so sincerely. No matter how you look at it, you can't find any trace of the Ditto's unpredictable personality.

At this moment, Constable Wang felt a great sense of disconnect. If he hadn't witnessed Ditto devour the servant of the previous county magistrate with his own eyes when it was unhappy, he would have truly believed that he had misunderstood Ditto based solely on hearsay.

It's not that Ditto has become better, it's that Dou Ye is awesome.

Although even Constable Wang couldn't figure out how Master Dou had managed to make the Ditto so polite, that was all that mattered.

It should be noted that Master Dou's strength is only at the ninth rank, even weaker than his own. Ditto could easily kill him, yet Ditto was so polite, which further demonstrated Master Dou's abilities.

If you can't understand it yourself, it's because you're not capable enough. After all, there are many things in the world that are just unreasonable. The same store can be very successful for one person but not for you.

Is there any justice? No justice at all!

Ordinary people complain and blame others, but Officer Wang doesn't. There's a reason behind fire; that's real skill. You didn't realize it, which is why the other party wasn't much better than you.

No wonder Master Dou is able to make a living off demons. If he could make all the demons treat him so politely, then governing Lang County would be no problem.

Officer Wang couldn't help but imagine a bright future. In that time, demons would no longer run rampant and act recklessly. Instead, they would operate in the shadows, like Ditto, occasionally eating a couple of people. As long as no major incidents occurred, it wouldn't be a problem at all, and they wouldn't cause any waves. After all, people were dying every day in this world.

They no longer needed to fight demons, and could happily collect money every day, living a carefree life.

Lord Dou has arrived in Lang County.

Then the clear sky appeared.

Happiness also arrived.
