Lin Xi thought that he was dazzled by too many shadows, so he deliberately rubbed his eyes, closed them and opened them again, the front and back of the aunt in front of him were still empty, and the shadows that should have followed him disappeared. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Pulled Xue Yi's sleeve beside him, stretched out his finger and pointed at the woman's feet, following the direction of his finger, Xue Yi frowned, looked at the similar scene, and said to Lin Xi with a gloomy face, "You go back first, I'll follow and take a look." ”
Lin Xi was a little worried about Xue Yi's current state, shook his head and said, "I also want to see what's going on." ”
Xue Yi glanced at her, "No, it's not safe!" ”
Lin Xi deliberately looked at Xue Yi pitifully, "It's okay, I'm not afraid, besides, with you, how can it be unsafe?" ”
The last sentence successfully moved Xue Yi, and the two quietly followed the woman's footsteps.
The woman bought five catties of cooked beef in the bazaar, beat two catties of pear blossoms, and chatted with the aunts who knew each other for half an hour, and then she took the beef and wine and went home.
Passing by the grocery stall, the woman bought another pack of expired rat poison.
After the two quietly followed through several small alleys, the woman returned to her home in Qingshui Lane. The two of them didn't follow up, and through their outgoing divine senses, they saw three middle-aged men sitting at the table in the house, with a few plates of stir-fried vegetables on the table, and the three of them were drinking one cup at a time.
Seeing the woman come in, the man sitting in the east frowned, took the beef and wine from her hand with an impatient face, and scolded in his mouth, "Owe it, right, let you buy something so slowly, live impatiently, say early, Lao Tzu sent you to reincarnation early......"
The woman seemed to be accustomed to being scolded, and stood there without saying a word, with her head bowed, and the resentment in her eyes flashed when no one was paying attention.
It wasn't until the man and the other two drank again that the woman gently turned into the small kitchen, and took advantage of the light coming from the outside to nibble on a hard steamed bun with boiled water. Although there wasn't much expression on her face, Lin Xi still saw a strong hatred in her eyes.
Standing outside the house, you can even feel the resentment emanating from the house, this woman has endured it for too long, if nothing else, the woman will definitely take revenge on the middle-aged man.
The two people outside the room "looked" at the four people inside, half speechless.
Whether it was the woman or the three middle-aged men who were drunk at the table, they were all ordinary mortals, and their shadows quietly followed their every move under the light of the candle flame. Only the woman's feet were empty, and none of the four people in the house noticed.
The two of them kept watch for more than an hour until the guests in the house were gone, and the candles were extinguished, and there was nothing unusual in the house, was it not the woman's fault? However, there were so many people in the night market, but her shadow was gone, and it was impossible to say that there was no reason for her.
The people in the house have been resting for a long time, and the two of them stayed until midnight, and there was still nothing abnormal. Because the next day's competition project was refining, this Xue Yi reported, Lin Xi did not, so Lin Xi asked Xue Yi to go back to rest, she came to guard, Xue Yi disagreed, and the two did not leave in a hurry until dawn, and there was nothing abnormal all night.
The next day, Xue Yi came back early after successfully qualifying, and the two planned to go to guard another night in the evening.
At the dinner table, Lin Xi said the question he had wanted to ask for a long time, "Looking at that woman's performance, there is no shadow, and it is no different from ordinary people?" I also deliberately followed her at noon today, and I am not afraid of being exposed to the sun. ”
Moonlight Moria in "One Piece", which was popular in the world in the previous life, relied on devouring shadows to enhance his abilities, and those who lost their shadows would be destroyed by sunlight. After Lin Xi followed the woman, he realized that this was not the case.
"By the way, today the woman put rat poison into her husband's meal, and after that her husband kept screaming that his stomach hurt, but there was no danger to his life, after all, the medicine was no longer effective. However, I have no sympathy for the man, and I either beat or scold the woman, who is not a human life, and I don't know how to separate from the man. That man deserved to be drugged! Lin Xi added, thinking of the woman's blue nose and swollen face, he was a little angry that she was not worth it. But if the two of them could help, the woman might be better off.
"Well, after the matter is over, let's help when we can." Xue Yi knew that Lin Xi was kind-hearted, but he was willing to fulfill her, if it weren't for her kindness, he might have died under the mouth of the demon beast.
"There is nothing abnormal in a short period of time, and after a long time, she will gradually lose her mind, unable to control her emotions, and become a walking corpse for those who have her shadow to drive." Xue Yi said that since last night, his mood was not normal, and Lin Xi intuitively felt that it was not the first time he had seen such a situation.
But who needs someone else's shadow? What will he do with his shadows? I've never heard of anyone cultivating with shadows. Lin Xi asked.
"There are many wonders in the world, just like the human race and the demon race use aura when cultivating, while the demon clan uses yin qi to cultivate. Although we have never heard of the use of shadows, it does not mean that others will not use them, otherwise this woman's shadow would not have been taken away. I once read in a miscellaneous book that in ancient times, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race used shadows to extract resentment and create resentful spirits, which could capture a medium-sized city without a single soldier. Since the disappearance of the demons, this method has naturally been lost, and I don't know if this incident has anything to do with it. ”
Hearing Xue Yi's detailed explanation, it seemed that he had controlled his emotions, Lin Xi was relieved, so can that question also be asked?
Seeing that Lin Xi wanted to speak and stopped, Xue Yi couldn't bear to look at her embarrassed, and took the initiative to say, "Actually, it's not the first time I've seen this situation. When I was in Zhangcheng in the east, I had met a teenager, and his shadow was also taken away in May, and in just five days, he lost his mind and lost his temper, and he killed a pair of old people in the neighbor's house, and because of a little misunderstanding with his family, even his parents and siblings were killed, and as a last resort, I killed him with my own hands. And vowed to avenge him. Since then, I've searched all his actions, the people I've seen, and the things I've done in those days, but I have found nothing, and there is no clue about his shadow. Moreover, he was the only one in the city, and his shadow was taken away. It wasn't until last night that I saw a clue about the shadow again. ”
Lin Xi didn't expect it to lead to such a incident, looking at the sadness in Xue Yi's eyes, Lin Xi comforted him a little awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this." But don't worry, I'll help you. ”
"Thank you!"
"Something polite between friends. No matter what the man does to seize the shadow, one shadow is definitely not enough, let's walk around the streets these days to see if there are people with similar phenomena. There's always something to be found. Lin Xi said while thinking.
"Well, that's what I thought too. I'm going to trouble you. Xue Yi said.
