Chapter 41: Temptation

"Having said that, those tortures are all punishments for those heinous wicked, are you the big bad people?"

Jia Xuan saw Ruyi's pitiful little appearance, and when he relented, he no longer deliberately scared her, smiled warmly, and rubbed Ruyi's head dotingly.

"I'm relieved when you say that."

Hearing this, Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, his dark eyes swept around, and his heart was half cold.

I don't know how many evil people have been punished in the huge and empty punishment hall, the evil spirit is wanton, the yin wind is gusting, the cold wind is biting, and there is a strong killing atmosphere everywhere, no wonder the daylight in this punishment division is colder and weirder than the outside, it turns out that these wicked souls are doing it.

Ye Mingming saw Jia Xuan's intimacy with Ruyi's actions, a sour feeling surged in his heart, his eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he was jealous and depressed for a while and wanted to scold Jia Xuan, but in a blink of an eye, Jia Xuan is now his boss, holding his power of life and death, if he provokes Jia Xuan, he may be swept out of the house at any time, so he suppressed that resentment, blew his beard and stared for a long time, and said impatiently in a soft tone: "Let's go to investigate the murder case on Pusong Mountain, if you don't leave, the sun will go down." ”

The bleak autumn wind was filled with a heavy corpse gas, and the strong fishy smell was so oppressive that people couldn't breathe.

Ye Mingming couldn't stand the smell of hunger, and as soon as he opened the door, he couldn't stand lying on the side and vomiting and couldn't straighten his waist.

Ruyi glanced at Ye Mingming with disgust, pinched his nose and followed Jia Xuan into the morgue.

As far as the eye can see, there are four corpses in a dark and damp space of more than ten square meters, all of which are covered with white cloths, looking eerie and terrifying.

Isn't it a dead person, how can there be four corpses?

Ruyi walked around the corpse in confusion, uncovered the white cloth and found that the four corpses were exactly the same, one by one, the skin was dry and cracked, the iron was blue and white, like dead ashes, the eyes were abruptly round, and before he died, he seemed to have seen an extremely terrifying scene, his fingers were stiff and scattered like dry bones, and his body was shriveled and only skin and bones remained.

"If you're afraid, don't look at it, the body has to be dissected and autopsied, and we just need to look at the examination records later."

Jia Xuan was stunned when he saw Ruyi walking to the third corpse, his face turned pale, his expression was surprised and complicated, he thought that Ruyi was frightened, and hurriedly pulled Ruyi out of the morgue and breathed fresh air.

Ye Mingming, who was relieved, saw Ruyi coming out unwillingly, and thought that she was frightened by those corpses, so she walked over worriedly and wanted to care, but the words that came out of her mouth were full of ridicule: "You are just a fat man with a swollen face, the facts witness the truth, you and I are both fellow Taoists, why bother laughing at fifty steps in a hundred steps, hehe, why can't you be afraid now." ”

"Get out of the way."

Ruyi came back to his senses amid Ye Mingming's ridicule, turned to look at Jia Xuan's concerned gaze, and regained his composure: "What should we do next?" ”

Ye Ming saw Ruyi's contemptuous eyes at him, shrugged his shoulders speechlessly, and did not speak again.

"Your face looks very bad for you to come, if you don't feel well, go back today and have a good rest, and come back tomorrow." Jia Xuan said worriedly.

"I'm fine, I may have choked on the corpse just now, but I'm much better now." Ruyi shook his head with a smile, and said: "I took a look, the death of these four corpses is extremely tragic and strange, and I have never heard of any medicine or exercise that can cause people to do this." ”

Jia Xuan nodded and agreed: "Ruyi is really discerning, it is true, they all died tragically, terrifying and abnormal, and they can't get an exact result after testing, this is an extremely difficult case, maybe it is not done by mortals at all." ”

Ruyi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he jumped to probe: "Where did the other three corpses come from, who are they, why haven't you heard of similar murders?" ”

"Since you are already a fan of the punishment department, I don't need to hide it, you don't know, in recent years, there have been many strange things in the holy capital, and the people have disappeared one by one inexplicably, no matter what methods we take, we can't find their traces after racking our brains and trying our best, in order to appease the people, I only say that they are ordinary disappearances, but I don't know that this is not so simple."

Jia Xuan's eyes were sincere and honest, with his precise judgment and the unique potential analysis of the mage, from the beginning he felt that these cases were not so simple, so he secretly investigated a lot, and also read a lot of secretaries, every time he felt that the answer was in front of him, but he felt that it was out of reach, which made him very depressed.

Also, he never dared to tell others his thoughts, firstly, because of his identity, and secondly, even if he said it, these unfounded ideas would not be recognized by the master or even more people, but he didn't expect that in front of Ruyi, he said it without any worries, no matter whether Ruyi would believe it or not, he didn't want to hide it from her.

"Could it be that the suppressed disappearances are related to the murders this time?" Ruyi was amazed, and her eyes stayed on Jia Xuan's handsome silhouette.

"Well, three months ago in the wilderness in the suburbs we found Liang Yong's body, as early as three years ago after Liang Yong went out to buy things, he has not returned home, after finding no result, he was identified as one of the missing cases, but to everyone's surprise, his body appeared again three years later, and the death is the same as the death of the recent deceased, the second is a beggar in the deep alley of the streets in the north of the city, the third is in a secret cave at the foot of Pusong Mountain a few days ago, and the fourth is the Zhu butcher who died in the maple leaf forest. The last two bodies occurred in Pusongshan, so let's start with Pusongshan. Jia Xuan said.

"Okay." Ruyi nodded.

……

When night fell, the autumn rain was slightly cool, and Ye Mingming stood tremblingly under the eaves of Chen Yuanwai's house with an oil-paper umbrella.

After coming out of the Fan Punishment Division in the afternoon, Jia Xuan asked Ye Mingming to stare in front of Chen Yuanwai's house alone, while he and Ruyi went to Pusong Mountain to investigate.

"It's been so long, and I don't know what I'm staring at here, hiss...... It's cold, the alley is empty, the wind is gusting, and it's raining, so there will be no ghosts. Ye Mingming remembered the rumors about the evil in Chen Yuanwai's family and the four little ghosts he saw on the Nuwa stone statue in Pusong Mountain, as well as the death of Zhu Butcher at that time, he couldn't help but be stunned, creepy, unconsciously pulled his sleeves, and moved towards the corner of the wall.

"Death Ruyi, death Jia Xuan, it's so late, why haven't you come back yet, let me wait until when."

Suddenly, Ye Mingming felt a cold hand grasp his cold trembling ankle, and faintly felt that there were sharp and thin nails through his shoes and socks gently buckled on his skin, and there was no blood, but a pain that pierced into his bones spread from the soles of his feet to the ends of his hair.
