Xu Wen stood next to the blackened room with a solemn expression.

There was a strange smell in the air, and five corpses lay sideways in front of him. Because the firepower of this era was not enough to burn them all to charcoal, these corpses were all half charcoal-colored and half flesh-colored, and they looked terrible.

Three of the five men had unburned faces, and some of their expressions could be seen. The most terrifying thing is that they do not look painful at all, but the ultimate joy and revelry, as if the burning of the body is a dreamy happiness!

"This ......" Jing Nanhai also arrived at this time.

He has been away from Fengchun City for the past few days, and looking at his weathered face, he should have received the news outside the city and rushed back overnight.

He is responsible for assisting Xu Wen and managing the construction of Fengchun New City and the Imperial Palace, but in fact, all administrative matters are up to him, and he is regarded as the chief steward here.

And so it happened right under his nose...... It can be said that it is a major dereliction of duty.

"It's the Blood Man Cult. Xu Wen said affirmatively.

"How do you know?" Jing Nanhai was stunned and turned his head to ask him.

"Do you smell it?" asked Xu Wen.

"What does it smell like?" Jing Nanhai was puzzled.

"It's like a ...... A peculiar aroma?" Yan Ji shrugged his nose and asked with some hesitation.

The old man's five senses will deteriorate, and as a result, he even noticed the abnormality in the air one step ahead of Jing Nanhai.

This skill is really a bit powerful, because the smell in the air now is very strange, there is the smell of burnt meat from corpses, the smell of something baked, and an unknown stench, Xu Wen didn't smell anything.

In these complex smells, the strange fragrance is ethereal, lingering, and very tenacious.

Yan Ji's reminder, Jing Nanhai also smelled it, and then, his face changed.

"Is it a forgetful flower?"

He had never been to Liuzhen Garden, but after listening to Xu Wen talk about things there, he was very impressed by this plant that could confuse people's minds and cause illusions. At this time, Yan Ji gave a slight hint, and he immediately remembered.

"Yes, it's a very special aroma, I can't be mistaken. Xu Wen said affirmatively.

"Since it's a forgetful flower, it's the Blood Man Sect that is right. Jing Nanhai didn't doubt his judgment at all.

He squatted down, not disgusting, and directly turned over a charred corpse to check the situation.

While checking, he instructed his subordinates without looking back: "Why hasn't the head of the thunder catcher arrived yet, go and urge it." ”

"I've already gone to look for it, and he said to go find an old hand and come over a little later. The subordinate said without hesitation that he could do things independently without the words of his boss, which was very quick.

"Hmm. Jing Nanhai only replied and continued to turn over the corpse, obviously accustomed to this kind of efficiency.

This corpse is indeed very scary, he didn't roll over twice, and there was a person next to him who vomited "wow". Jing Nanhai's subordinates decisively ordered someone to move him aside.

However, at this time, Jing Nanhai's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't turn his head back, acting extremely calm.

"There. Xu Wen stood behind him and suddenly reminded him.

"Huh?"

"There's a tattoo on the waist. ”

The man's waist was badly burned, and most of his skin had turned into charcoal, making it difficult to see the exact state.

But Xu asked this point, and Jing Nanhai still saw it. Sure enough, there were some subtle lines mixed in the jet-black charcoal marks, and I could barely see part of it clearly.

"It's the hallmark of the Blood Man Cult. Jing Nanhai took a closer look and recognized it.

Xu Wen also recognized it, the shape that looked like a flower but not a flower, a hand but not a hand, and looked a little demonic, was indeed basically consistent with what he saw in the Tianshan area.

At this time, Lei Zhutou hurried over with an old man. The construction of the new Spring City was started, and there was a shortage of manpower, so he was also transferred here from Green Forest Town.

He was not polite, nodded to the officials, and got busy with Lao Xinzuo.

Jing Nanhai said, "I'll go to the house and have a look." ”

"Together. Xu asked.

The two walked into the next room together.

The house is made of stone, very simple, mainly for the returning Fengchun people to live temporarily.

The living environment and conditions are not very good, but compared to the shacks where most poor people live, it can be regarded as enjoyment.

Because the people of Fengchun have an urgent need for housing, according to the calculation, the houses in the city will be built in batches, and a group of people will be selected to move in each batch of completion.

Now that the first batch of houses is about to be built, many people in Fengchun have hope, and they are very enthusiastic about work.

The house is made of new cement, so it is relatively spacious, and there are eight people living together in each room, and there is no bed, so they are laid on the floor.

The house is used for temporary living, and after the occupants move out, the stones used to build the house can be reused.

But at the same time, when inhabited, the house must be strong enough not to collapse.

So, it looks simple, but in fact it has been carefully designed, and after such incineration, there is no sign of collapse.

The whole room was blackened, and here, the aroma of the Forgotten Worry Flower was stronger, but it was not as obvious as it was outside, mixed with the smell of burnt flesh and the smell of burning.

However, Xu Wen and Jing Nanhai were mentally prepared, and they smelled it as soon as they came in.

"The expressions on those people's faces are hallucinogenic to flowers. Jing Nanhai said.

"Yes. ”

"In other words, such a dangerous plant has actually been hiding in the city?"

"Yes. ”

Xu Wen sighed and nodded.

Jing Nanhai was silent, and continued to check the other items in the house, and when he checked, he was very careful, wrapped his hands with a cloth towel, and did not touch them directly.

Xu Wen put down the snacks, and like him, he wrapped his hands in cloth and looked through the charred remnants of the house.

The fire was not enough to scorch people or destroy houses, but it was more than enough to burn down the contents of the houses.

After rummaging through it, neither of them found anything, and what was left in the room was no different from that of the other homeless.

"Eight people in a room?" Xu Wen straightened up and asked suddenly.

"What about the remaining three?" Jing Nanhai also thought about it at the same time, and then said.

The two went out together, and at this time, the basic test results of the bad work had come out.

"There were five deceased, three men and two women, two men with local characteristics of the Fengchun people but had wandered outside, and one man and two women were not locals. He pointed to the corpse and gave a brief introduction.

"Not a local?

"Before spring, there is geothermal heat, and people who grow up in a warm environment have different skin levels than those in cold places. The old man explained.

"Oh, yes!" Xu Wen suddenly realized and nodded immediately.

"There should be eight people in this room, where are the remaining three?" Jing Nanhai asked when he came out.

"They should know. Thunder Catcher came out in response.

He was not idle when he was examining the corpse just now, so he went to inquire left and right, and brought the neighbors nearby.

The neighbors were all locals in Fengchun, and a fire broke out next door in the middle of the night, and they had no idea what was going on, so they immediately went out to put out the fire.

It took a lot of effort to put out the fire, and the charred people inside were removed, and a group of soldiers came and surrounded the place, preventing people from entering.

The neighbors went back to their houses and were not allowed to go out, but they couldn't sleep either, and they talked about it for a long time in their clothes, and were taken out by the head of the thunderbolt.

As soon as they saw so many officials, they shrank to the ground one by one, kowtowing without saying a word. As soon as he heard the inquiry, he immediately told him what he knew.

That's right, there are eight people living here, five local and three out-of-town. The three out-of-town ones also wandered with them before, and they can be regarded as their own family, especially the two women, although they are from other places, they are two people with local men, so there is nothing to say. So they live here, and no one gossips.

Fengchun City implements a work division system, both men and women can work, and the accumulated work points can be exchanged for daily necessities such as food on the one hand, and can also be used as a benchmark to determine the priority of moving into a new house when the time comes.

So all eight of them are working on the construction site, just like everyone else.

Last night, everyone got off work together, and there were only five people coming back next door. This was rare, and when the neighbor asked, a woman slurred that the foreman had arranged other temporary work for them to do.

The neighbors were quite envious when they heard this.

More work, of course, more work, higher priority.

The stone house is simple, the sound insulation effect is poor, the neighbors did not hear the sound of the three people coming back until midnight, and they chatted with the mother-in-law when they got up at night. I didn't expect it to happen!

When he heard what they began to say, Xu Wen's heart moved slightly, and he had some guesses.

As soon as the neighbor's words came to an end, he immediately asked, "So, those three people haven't come back yet?"

"Nope. "One of the neighbors is definitely authentic.

"What's their name? Two of them, are they called Hu Da and Liu Gouzi?"

"Yes, so you know you!"
