Chapter 341: The Charm Emerges
But why did they find the mark, but they did not do anything, but walked away as if they had not seen or heard, without even stopping?
Fu Yin's mind was a little messy again. He decided to go back to the ancient tree on the outskirts of town that had been marked with the Ghost Slash totem to take a closer look, and maybe find something new.
Fu Yin immediately informed him of his discovery and the inference after analysis, and promptly informed the white catcher who was ordered to assist him in clearing out the ghost and cutting off the remnants of the sins.
Bai Zhutou also felt that there was some inevitable connection between the corpse chaser and the ghost slash. So, Bai Zhutou readily agreed to return to the outskirts of the town with Fu Yin to confirm again.
Fu Yin and Bai Zhutou turned back to the outskirts of Annan Town, and the two of them came to the ancient tree that was engraved with the mark of a skull and took a closer look. Something strange was noticed.
At this time, the white skull mark on the ancient tree was painted dark red at some point!
Fu Yin and Bai Zhutou looked at the Ghost Slash Totem in front of them that had changed color and were shocked.
"How so?! Why did this skull mark suddenly turn dark red?! Could it be that the ghost slasher has already discovered this mark and did it in the first place?! However, even if they found the mark and understood the message, they could erase it and destroy the physical evidence to avoid future trouble. But why did they move the crowd and paint the skull mark red?! Bai Zhutou looked at the notches on the tree that had changed color, and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Perhaps, this is some way of transmitting information within the Ghost Slash!" As he spoke, he reached out and touched the red of the notch on the trunk.
Verge sniffed the red sigil carefully. The smell had a faint herbal taste, not the smell of blood as Fu Yin had thought.
"It's not blood, it's the color of some kind of potion that the Ghost Slayer is used to among the Ghost Slayers." Fren inferred from the analysis.
Bai Zhutou lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "In other words, the people of the Ghost Slash not only discovered this code, but also contacted and passed on the message through their unique internal method for the first time!" If the corpse chasers last night were really pretending to be the dead soldiers of the ghost slash, then, as we saw with our own eyes, they were just passing by here last night, and no one even approached this ancient tree, how could they attack so quickly?! Under your noses and mine, we are moving these hands and feet, and we don't know it! It's incredible! ”
Fu Yin responded: "I originally thought that Helian Yunjue, the king of Annam, named his death squad 'Ghost Slash' just because they came and went without a trace, their whereabouts were uncertain, very mysterious, like ghosts. But now, inspired by the mention of 'corpse chasers' in those books, it dawns on me that the name 'Ghost Slash' has something to do with their disguised business! The fact that they were able to use a potion under your noses last night and change the color of the nicks without you and me being noticed shows the mystery of how they communicate with each other. It seems that we can't underestimate those ghostly dead soldiers, and we must be more cautious in the future. ”
The white catcher nodded.
Bai Zhutou said in a loud voice: "They have begun to communicate with each other and pass on signals, but they have not removed the totem of the Ghost Slash, does this mean that they have not met yet, or there is still a message that has not been conveyed clearly?" ”
Fu Yin agreed with Bai Zhutou's statement and nodded in response: "Very likely! ”
"Then I'm going to send more people to surround this place, maybe the ghost slasher will appear here tonight, we can just follow the vine and kill them all!" The white catcher proposed.
"Okay, just do what the white catcher said! However, we must be careful not to surprise the snake and reveal our identity. Fu Yin admonished from the side.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Bai Zhutou immediately went back and sent more manpower to arrange the matter of guarding the outskirts of the town at night.
Furin remained on the outskirts of town, continuing to search for clues about Ghost Slash.
The hard work paid off, and behind a dark mountain on the outskirts of the town, Fu Yin found the clothes worn by the ghost slasher last night. Proved Furyin's previous guess.
The Ghost Slasher will discard the clothes they used in disguise here, indicating that they won't use this trick a second time. However, the person in charge of the ghost slash, Yuan'er, mentioned the term "corpse chaser" in several books in the room at the same time, and the ghost slasher will not easily abandon this good method of disguise. If they have to abandon this old disguise, it can only mean two things: they have sensed that their identities have been exposed, so they can no longer appear in the same disguise, so as not to be caught and revealed; In other words, this is their last internal communication and the last time they complete the task, so they will be relieved and bold to abandon their previous disguise and regard death as home.
Fu Yin's brain was spinning rapidly, no matter which of the above thoughts the ghost slash had and what kind of problem he encountered, it all showed that the matter of clearing the ghost slash was ready to fly, and if he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to catch them next time.
After finding a strong clue, Fu Yin rushed back to the Annan Mansion in time and explained the matter to Bai Zhutou. After listening to this, Bai Zhutou also agreed with Fu Yin's analysis, thinking that the ghost slash was about to have a big operation.
The two began to sit in a circle, planning urgently and coming up with a countermeasure.
In order not to be discovered by the ghost beheading and the remnants of the king of Annan, the intentions of Fu Yin and the others were extremely cautious in the actions of Fu Yin and Bai Zhutou and the public catchers in the palace of Annan and the town of Annan, and often showed off their clothes.
After Fu Yin and Bai Zhutou planned everything, and after making proper arrangements, they rested for a while, and waited until night to go to the outskirts of the town to catch the ghost and kill the remnants of the rebels.
On this day, the night on the outskirts of Annan Town was exceptionally quiet, and everything was silent. The hazy moonlight shrouded in the withered ancient trees, tearing into oblique shadows, like a pair of withered and hideous hands, wantonly tugging at people's nervous heartstrings, rendering this slightly strange night.
Fu Yin and the others hid in the woods, and finally waited until midnight, but the suspicious target never appeared. The woods were so quiet that not even a single beast or two could be seen.
Fu Yin, Bai Zhutou and the others waited quietly for another half an hour, but there was still no one in sight.
Just when Fu Yin and Bai Zhutou thought that they were going to return empty-handed tonight, they suddenly heard the sound of a gust of wind howling faintly from the west.
When Fu Yin and Bai Zhutou heard the sound, they saw a cloud of black shadows passing in front of them, and the speed was as fast as a ghost in the dark night.
Fu Yin, Bai Zhutou and the others were instantly alert, and they set up their posture, just waiting for the ghost to kill the soldiers and arrest them.
The black shadows stopped beside the ancient tree engraved with the skull mark, and I saw three or five black-clothed people wearing black cloaks and faces covered by black veils standing quietly aside, facing the same direction, with their heads bowed, as if waiting for the arrival of some important person.
When Fu Yin was surprised, he saw the direction facing the man in black, and a man in black who seemed to be a graceful woman rushed in. The woman was also wearing a black cloak, and her face, like everyone else, was covered by a black veil, and she could not see clearly, revealing only a pair of beautiful and bright eyes, looking at everything in front of her slyly.
