Chapter 782: Waiting for the Rabbit
Although there was a stale smell in the house, Qi Ning was quite adaptable.
The first time he came to this world, Qi Ning was in a ruined temple, although he was now in Jinyi Hou's Mansion, but it did not eliminate his hard-working nature.
He's on the lookout.
The beggar gang sent him a clue about the shadow mouse, and Qi Ning didn't hesitate too much, and immediately decided to touch the bottom of those shadow rats.
Many shadow rats appeared near the capital, which of course would not be a coincidence.
Qi Ning faintly felt that the appearance of this group of shadow rats would inevitably bring great harm to the capital, and the appearance of shadow rats made him think of the epidemic virus that appeared in the capital first.
The crisis of the epidemic has been resolved, but so far, there is still no clear answer to who is behind the plot and what its purpose is.
Although Qi Ning did not have any evidence to prove that the appearance of the shadow mouse was related to the previous epidemic poison in the capital, he knew very well that if these two things were really connected, the capital would definitely usher in another disaster.
The epidemic virus that spread in the capital the previous time has already caused many innocent people to die tragically, if it is said that those people are coming back this time, the harm caused will be even greater, and Qi Ning will certainly not allow any more incidents of mutilating innocent people.
It was late at night, and he was in the room with the sign on it.
The beggar gang told him that the trace of the shadow mouse appeared in the Changqing Inn, and Qi Ning admired the beggar gang's well-informed ears and knew that this was a golden opportunity.
Qi Ning learned the news of the shadow rat's appearance near the capital from Zhong Li's mouth, and Qi Ning could also hear it from Zhong Li's tone that the beggar gang was very careful about this matter and didn't want to provoke these shadow rats easily, so after discovering the whereabouts of the shadow mouse, they didn't track it too much.
This is exactly what Qi Ning wants to see.
The shadow rats are a group of assassins who act in the dark, they hide their heads and tails, naturally they don't want anyone to find their traces, and this group of people has a more alertness than ordinary people, and the perception of danger is also different from ordinary people, once the beggar gang follows too closely, it is likely to be detected by them, so the beggar gang has not tracked since then, and this group of shadow rats will naturally not find that their whereabouts have been exposed.
Although Qi Ning got the clue that the shadow mouse appeared in the Changqing Inn, he couldn't be sure that the shadow mouse would stay in the Changqing Inn, so he didn't delay today, and after getting the news, he immediately planned the action, and personally checked into the Changqing Inn, waiting for the opportunity.
Naturally, he would not show his true face, it happened that Zhong Li gave him a few human-skin masks, from which he chose an old man's face in his fifties, and also carefully disguised himself, at this time he looked no different from an old man over fifty years old, and this face looked very ordinary, and it would never attract anyone's attention when thrown in the crowd.
The moment the person outside stopped, Qi Ning knew that the shadow mouse had appeared.
He knew that the next thing he had to do was be patient.
If the other party is a shadow mouse and sees the code in the shape of an earthworm, he will never be indifferent, but he also believes that the other party will never come straight to meet him.
The code is thrown out like bait on a fishhook, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
But the Shadow Mouse is naturally extraordinary, they are far more alert than ordinary people, and even if they see bait, they will not easily put their mouths in their mouths.
So what Qi Ning needs is patience, and he understands that.
It was quiet, Qi Ning finally blew out the lights when he got the child, and he was lying on the bed with his clothes closed, the room was dead, he was breathing evenly, but his eyes were staring at the closed door.
Qi Ning knew it was an opportunity, but it wasn't an absolute opportunity.
He needed to find out what these shadow rats wanted in the capital, but he couldn't alarm them, once he caught the snake this time, Qi Ning was worried that they would change their plans, and it would be extremely difficult to find out their conspiracy again.
He only hoped that the bait he released could lure the fish to the bait, although he believed that the other party was really a shadow mouse and he couldn't bear to come over and bite the bait, but Qi Ning was not very sure, if the other party was too cunning and did not move, then this shadow mouse must be a top master, and he really couldn't act rashly.
I don't know how long it took to lie on the bed, Qi Ning kept staring at the door, the lights at both ends of the corridor made the aisle glow with a dim light, but I saw a figure flashing, and a figure could be vaguely seen outside in front of the door.
The faint light of the lamp reflected the outline of the upper body of the man on the door paper, Qi Ning saw the shadow standing there, and his heart was happy, but he also knew that at this time, he had to maintain absolute calm, not to make a sound, not to move.
But the figure stood in front of the door for a moment, but suddenly disappeared.
Qi Ning frowned, he didn't dare to take it lightly, he didn't care about a shadow mouse, he was just worried that the shadow mouse would see some flaws, so as to startle the snake.
Although the shadow rat's martial arts are good, they are definitely not any top masters, if they have the top skills in the rivers and lakes, these people would have already started a gang and dominated one side.
Devoted to the shadow mouse, in the final analysis, is nothing more than good at secretly playing the black hand, if it is a frontal fight, the strength of the shadow mouse may not be able to move to the table.
With Qi Ning's martial arts today, even if he encounters a first-class master on the rivers and lakes, he will not be frightened in the slightest, as long as he is fully vigilant, he naturally will not care about the threat of a shadow mouse.
After the shadow disappeared, there was no movement for half a day, and seeing the passage of time, nearly half an hour later, Qi Ning finally saw the figure of the shadow mouse appear in front of the door again.
Qi Ning sneered in his heart, the shadow mouse was obviously tempting, if he acted rashly, once the shadow mouse noticed it, it was likely to disappear.
Qi Ning was thinking about what the shadow mouse would do next, but suddenly smelled a strange fragrance wafting over, Qi Ning's heart sank, knowing that this fragrance came from strange, although he washed the blood with the help of Tang Nuo with the cold bead, and it was not poisonous, but he was still cautious, and immediately held his breath, so as not to smell more fragrance.
The fragrance was permeating, but the shadow disappeared again, Qi Ning raised his hand lightly to cover his mouth and nose, but at this time he already understood that the shadow mouse was tempted one after another, and he had already taken the bait, at this time, he had to wait and see what happened.
After the time of the small half pillar of incense, the diffuse fragrance finally disappeared, but I heard a knock on the door, only to hear a voice from outside: "Guest officer, I don't know what you want to eat tomorrow morning, you tell me, we are ready." ”
Qi Ning sneered even more, the shopkeeper's voice was not bad, but he knew that nine times out of ten, the shadow mouse deliberately asked the shopkeeper to come over to test and see if he had been fascinated by the fragrance, otherwise the shopkeeper would never be disturbed by the early tomorrow day because of the third watch in the middle of the night.
Qi Ning didn't say a word, the guy in the store said two more words, and finally left, and after a while, Qi Ning saw the figure of the shadow mouse appear outside the door again, and suddenly heard a very light "gurgle" sound, looking everywhere, he found that the bolt was moving slowly, and he was funny, it seemed that the shadow mouse was sure that he had lost his mind, and then he came into the house.
Sure enough, the bolt of the door was gently opened, and then the door was pushed open almost silently, opening a little, and a figure floated in like a ghost, the man turned around and closed the door, only then turned around, and glanced around, the viper-like eyes finally fell on Qi Ning, and slowly approached, four or five steps away, the shadow mouse suddenly raised a hand, the cold light flashed, and a cold star hit Qi Ning.
Qi Ning knew that there must be venom on the hidden weapon, he was invincible to poison, so he was naturally not afraid of venom, but the hidden weapon must be uncomfortable on his body, knowing that when the time came, with a wave of his arm, the thin blanket that he had already grabbed in his hand had already flown straight towards the shadow mouse, and it also blocked the hidden weapon.
The shadow mouse's expression changed suddenly, and when he saw the thin blanket flying, he knew that something was wrong, and immediately retreated, but the thin blanket came very quickly, and the cold light flashed again, but the shadow mouse already had an extra sharp weapon in his hand, but it was a thin blade, and the cold light slashed, and the thin blanket had been split in half.
As soon as the knife light fell, the shadow mouse saw that the figure in front of him was like a ghost, and the other party had already floated over like a ghost, and the shadow mouse was also extremely calm, and the thin knife swung obliquely, slashing from Qi Ning's lower ribs, Qi Ning knew that the thin knife must be sharp, and as soon as his footsteps moved, the free walk had already unfolded, and the side flashed to the side of the shadow mouse.
The shadow mouse clearly saw that Qi Ning was in front of him, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, and his eyes showed a shocked look, at this time he already felt the strong wind on his side, and the shadow mouse reacted extremely quickly, turned around continuously, connected the dots under his feet, and opened the distance with Qi Ning, and saw Qi Ning approaching like a ghost, and said in a low voice: "I ...... my own people!" ”
Qi Ning's figure turned, and he stopped three steps away from the shadow mouse, and in the darkness, the two looked at each other.
"Your own people?" Qi Ning's voice was low: "Lao Tzu is alone, and he has never had any people of his own. ”
The shadow mouse knew that it had encountered a hard stubble, but he still smiled coldly, the thin knife swiped on the ground, Qi Ning glanced at it, but saw that the shadow mouse had drawn an earthworm-like symbol on the ground.
Qi Ning snorted coldly, walked to the table and sat down, and asked, "You are also here to do errands?" ”
When the shadow mouse saw Qi Ning sitting down, he put away his knife, his thin knife was close to his body, and he was wearing a black robe, so he couldn't see that he was carrying a weapon from the outside.
"Your Excellency has hung the code outside the door, and you don't know what you want?" The shadow mouse seemed a little dissatisfied: "Is this too ostentatious?" ”
"Lao Tzu just wants to see if there are others who will also get a piece of the pie." Qi Ning deliberately made an arrogant attitude, "Lao Tzu asked you, why did the third watch in the middle of the night first go to the incense, and then enter the room to cause harm?" If you don't make it clear, I guarantee that you won't be able to get out of this, in the eyes of Lao Tzu, there has never been any one of your own. ”
The shadow mouse said lightly: "If you can't even guard against this little trick, you deserve to die here." He actually walked to Qi Ning and sat down, stared at Qi Ning's eyes and asked, "What is your grade?" ”
