Chapter Seventy-Two: Outside Gangneung City, corpses are everywhere
Qin Mulan's eyes were startled, and a trace of ups and downs flashed, but he quickly regained his composure, he turned his head to Qian Fanmeng and said, "We should believe in Mrs. Youluo, let's go, go back and report to the palace master, Du Sheng Mirror, it seems that you won't be able to get it for a while." β
Qian Fanmeng nodded, and then left the eastern suburbs of the forest with Qin Mulan.
On the other side, Nan Fengzhu led people out of the city, they dug up the corpses on the small hill outside the city, none of those corpses were intact, either they were missing arms and legs, or they were dried corpses like the previous five corpses, everyone was very surprised, they didn't expect that there were so many corpses outside this Jiangling City!
"Tianyue, do you know what the hell is going on?" Nan Fengzhu turned his head to look at him, since he knew that the blood ghosts had killed more than five people, then he must have known where these corpses came from.
He shook his head and said, "At that time, we found a corpse in this place that had been drained of sperm and blood, but at that time, because of the urgency of travel, we didn't have time to investigate. β
They were on the small hill outside the city at this time, and although the mountain was covered with greenery, as the corpses were constantly excavated, there was a foul smell between breaths.
Lin Shuihan looked at those corpses and felt uncomfortable in his chest, don't look over his head and stop looking, and Luo Muli has been following him around, since the banquet in the Nan family, she felt that Lin Shuihan was a little wrong, always looking down, with countless thoughts hidden in his eyes, Luo Muli thought, is he afraid of the dead?
Or was it the horror of the bloody?
Luo Muli thought about it, but still felt unlikely, Lin Shuihan, he was a person who was not even afraid of death, how could he be afraid of the dead?! At this time, Luo Muli didn't know at all that Lin Shuihan didn't have a cultivation, just like Nankong Qian at the beginning, thinking that he was a disciple of the head of the Qilin Sect, Liuye, that was naturally different from the other.
"City Lord, we have found all the corpses on this hill, excluding those that are incomplete, there are a total of twenty-seven dried corpses, plus those who are missing arms and legs, it is estimated that there are about thirty corpses. After a while, Gu Qing came back to report to Nan Fengzhu.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked, so many corpses?!
"Is the corpse still faintly recognizable?" Nan Fengzhu hurriedly asked, Gu Qing shook his head, "The face of the dried corpse has withered, and after such a long time, it is no longer possible to recognize the face of the deceased. β
"And what about the mutilated corpses, are all the heads still there?"
Gu Qing shook his head again, "The strangest thing is this, most of those incomplete corpses only have limbs, and there are vaguely recognizable tooth marks on them, but the subordinates have not found the bodies to which they belong. β
"No body, only limbs?" Nan Fengzhu frowned, how could it be so strange? If it was a blood ghost, it would be impossible for the corpse to be torn apart and bitten like this.
"What is the shape of that tooth mark?" Nan Fengzhu suddenly remembered this, Gu Qing raised his eyes, and said slowly word by word: "Yes, human tooth marks." β
Everyone was shocked when they heard this!
"Human tooth marks?" Xiao Yuan couldn't help frowning, and then as if he thought of something, he turned his head to Nan Fengzhu and said, "City Lord, is it possible, the blood ghost has a bloodthirsty attack, and he can't control the scarlet light in his body, so he ......?"
Before Nan Fengzhu could speak, Tianyue questioned loudly: "Once the scarlet light is lit, the blood ghost will lose all his sanity, be manipulated by the red light in his body, and become a bloodthirsty monster, how can it be, not sucking blood, only biting people!"
Xiao Yuan lowered his eyes and thought about it carefully, and then said to Nan Fengzhu: "Could it be that it was done by the people of the Demon Sect?"
"Possibly. Nan Fengzhu nodded, "Being able to kill so many people quietly outside Jiangling City without revealing a little rumor, to have this kind of ability, it shows that this person is by no means an ordinary person, even if it is a blood ghost, it is not an ordinary bloodthirsty monster." β
"Then according to this, this matter still has something to do with the Annihilation Palace?" Tianyue secretly speculated, Xiao Yuan said again: "The purpose of the Annihilation Palace is known to everyone, that is the Nine Spirits of the World, why do they raise such a terrible monster and release it to harm people, what do they want?"
"The Annihilation Palace is the number one demon sect in the world, and the masters in the sect are like clouds, all of them are cultivating the law of the demon realm, it is inevitable that they will go mad and fall into the demon path and lose their minds, and there is no need to be surprised to do such a perverted thing. Tianyue glanced at Xiao Yuan indifferently, but Xiao Yuan ignored it.
"It's fruitless to speculate here, so let's go back first, and I'll ask Gu Qing to send someone to conduct an autopsy to see what the cause of their death is, and then make a final conclusion." β
Nan Fengzhu said to Xiao Yuan and Tianyue respectively, and then turned around and left, Tianyue and Xiao Yuan stood in place, the atmosphere instantly dropped to the freezing point, Xiao Yuan felt that Tianyue was always a little wrong, but he just couldn't say it, so he had to give up, and after glancing at him lightly, he also left with Nan Fengzhu.
Because there were too many corpses, the autopsy would take a certain amount of time, so when everyone returned to the City Lord's Mansion, there was nothing to do, and it was already dark, Nan Fengzhu asked them to simply greet them for dinner, and then went to the study alone.
During this period, Lin Shuihan has been absent-minded and in a trance, Li Shiran can understand Lin Shuihan's taciturn and depressed appearance, thinking that he should have been sucked dry by the blood ghost three years ago and left a shadow! After all, he was just a child at that time, and he had personally experienced that terrible death, and it was a kind of terrible memory that could not be forgotten by anyone.
Later, Lin Shuihan went back to the room alone under the pretext of being unwell, everyone was fine, and they all went back to their respective rooms to rest, Nan Kongqian also wanted to go to bed early, after all, he didn't seem to have slept a peaceful sleep for a long time, but as soon as he lay down, he found that there was a black bracelet on his hand for no reason, he was surprised, I don't know why this thing was in his hand, I carefully recalled today's situation, and he suddenly found that this bracelet was worn on his hand by the way when his father handed him the Dusheng mirrorοΌ
Why did Dad do this? He couldn't figure it out, could this bracelet have anything to do with the Dusheng Mirror?!
He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a reason, he wanted to go to his father to ask for clarification, but thinking that it was so late, his father should have rested, so he didn't bother again, let's sleep well first, and then talk about it, if there is something to solve tomorrow!
When it was close to the time of the child, Xiao Yuan secretly ran out alone, he thought about it, he still felt that the corpse on the hill was too strange, and at this moment, the blood ghost must have regained consciousness, if he went to interrogate him now, maybe he could ask something, so he walked through the corridor, ready to go to the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion.
But at this moment, he happened to meet Luo Muli.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Yuan frowned, turned his head to look at the door of the City Lord's Mansion, and then turned his gaze to her, even if it was the young lady of the Silk Yarn Pavilion, this City Lord's Mansion was not something she could come to if she wanted to.
"I'm here to find Lin Shuihan. Luo Muli replied truthfully.
"What are you looking for him?" Xiao Yuan was puzzled, Luo Muli was stunned, and then replied: "Of course there is something!"
"What's the matter?"
"Private matters. Luo Muli lightly left this sentence and went straight to Lin Shuihan's room past Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan glanced back at her figure, and couldn't help frowning slightly, he always felt that she was a little familiar, especially the kind of domineering between her eyebrows, which made him really feel familiar, but he couldn't remember it, it was really strange, what happened to him recently?
Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly, then turned around and went to the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion, not knowing if the blood ghost had regained his senses......
Lin Shuihan was alone in the room, sitting at the table, quietly in a daze, for a long time, he remembered his heart stone, it seemed that after Yishuang City, Xiaobai never appeared again!
He was worried about whether there was something wrong with Xiao Bai, so he hurriedly took out the heart stone, looked at it carefully, and called Xiao Bai softly, hoping that it could give a reaction, until the heart stone emitted a white light, and gradually turned into Xiao Bai appeared in his sight, he was relieved.
"Xiaobai, you're scared to death of me!"
Xiao Bai stayed quietly on the table, looking at him quietly, motionless, Lin Shuihan looked at Xiao Bai's appearance, and couldn't help but reach out to stroke the feathers on its back, Xiao Bai's appearance and silence made the atmosphere even more dull, Lin Shuihan touched Xiao Bai's smooth back feathers, and unconsciously began to talk to himself:
"It would be nice if I could be like you, and become a bird, without having to be a human being, with so many worries, so many fears, so many things that I am afraid to touch. β
"Xiaobai, you don't know, when I saw those corpses on the hill today, how scared I was, I thought that when I was in the Northern Barbarians, I should have been sucked dry of essence blood and became like that, that blood-sucking monster, full of red light, eyes full of scarlet greed, I was a burst of scalp numbness, you say, am I too timid?"
"Maybe I'm really too timid, everyone is not afraid, just I stand there motionless, do you say that if I have cultivation, will I not be so afraid?"
Speaking of this, Lin Shuihan suddenly touched the yellow feather on Xiao Bai's back, he suddenly paused, glanced at Xiao Bai's blinking eyes, and he suddenly thought of Luo Muli.
"Xiaobai, let me tell you one thing that bothers me the most, on the night when I came to Jiangling City with Nankong Qian, I thought I had found Ning Xi, because she had the same wooden ring on her hand, which I gave to Ning Xi, and once she put it on, she couldn't take it off;
