Chapter 18: Playing the Devil
Seeing that a man in black was about to stab Mu Li's face, Chu Lingyi suddenly hugged Mu Li and turned around, protecting her tightly in his arms.
However, Chu Lingyi was stabbed in the right shoulder by the man in black and snorted.
Mu Li sensed that something was wrong with Chu Lingyi, and she knew that it was Chu Lingyi who blocked the sword for her.
Before Mu Li could think about it, Chu Lingyi turned around and finished off the man in black just now, and now Chu Lingyi must quickly deal with the remaining few people in black.
Mu Li had been following Chu Lingyi, looking at his resolute expression, Mu Li suddenly had a different feeling.
The rain has not stopped, and the raindrops the size of beans have smashed on Mu Li's face, and now Chu Lingyi seems to have been poisoned, his lips are purple, and black blood is dripping from the wound.
Mu Li took Chu Lingyi back to the broken temple just now, and now Chu Lingyi is injured, what he needs is to rest.
What's more, it was really unrealistic for this place to return to the palace now, so they quietly returned to the ruined temple again.
"How are you?"
Mu Li's eyes were full of worry, Chu Lingyi was trying to save his injuries.
"There is poison on the sword."
Chu Lingyi's expression was very painful, now he was gritting his teeth and holding back, he had a hunch that the killer was not just those people just now.
Now that Chu Lingyi has important information about betraying the military intelligence, he will naturally not give up the investigation, so there will definitely be people who can't bear it.
Mu Li helped Chu Lingyi and let him lie on the weeds, so that he could be a little more comfortable.
It's just that when she touched Chu Lingyi's arm, the temperature on his body was terrifyingly hot.
Mu Li stretched out his hand to reach out to his forehead, Chu Lingyi's brows furrowed slightly, and then he stopped moving.
Chu Lingyi now has a fever, wound poisoning and infection, and the current situation is definitely not optimistic.
Tonight is not destined to be a quiet night, and on the eaves outside the window, several killers quietly touched up.
Chu Lingyi suddenly opened her eyes, Mu Li thought that she had hurt him, but Chu Lingyi motioned for her to be silent.
He looked out the window vigilantly, Mu Li seemed to understand something, and the dagger beside him was already in his hand.
"Listen to me, I'll hold them back later, you go first, and then find someone to save me!"
Chu Lingyi's words completely put himself in a situation where there was no way out, how could Mu Li not know Chu Lingyi's thoughts.
"No, I can't leave you alone!"
Mu Li knew that once Chu Lingyi was left behind, with his current physical condition, it would be impossible for him to have a chance of winning against the killer alone.
"You go find the rescuers, or we're all going to die here!"
Now Chu Lingyi is powerless, he can only fight to the death, but Mu Li has nothing to do with this matter from beginning to end.
"I'm going to find a rescuer to collect your body?"
Mu Li showed no mercy when he said this, and Chu Lingyi couldn't refute it.
Seeing that the black-clothed people outside had already entered the ruined temple, they were cautiously approaching Chu Lingyi's hiding place.
Mu Li suddenly thought of something, and she quickly put Chu Lingyi in front of her to the place where she was hiding before.
"Why are you so heavy!"
Mu Li complained while supporting him, Mu Li's thin little body supported Chu Lingyi, and it felt like Chu Lingyi was holding her.
Chu Lingyi looked at her expression, and for a while, a warmth swelled in her heart, such a close contact actually made Chu Lingyi feel moved.
He didn't know what Mu Li was going to do now, and after putting Chu Lingyi away, Mu Li walked to the window.
Chu Lingyi wanted to reach out and grab Mu Li, he knew that if Mu Li and those people were against him, there would be absolutely no chance of winning.
He turned his body with difficulty, and wanted to stand up but heard Mu Li make a terrible voice.
Inside the ruined temple, there were tattered curtains everywhere, and there was a big tree in the courtyard with a full red ribbon tied to it.
Mu Li imitated the mad voice, with the sound of showers, it became more and more real.
"Did you hear anything?"
The man in black swallowed the saliva in his mouth, trying to calm his emotions, but his feet were completely uncontrollable.
"I heard it too!"
All the men in black stood still, never able to step forward, and they were still engaged in an ideological struggle.
They still have a task on them, but now this situation really does not allow them to take another step.
Suddenly, the door of the broken temple opened suddenly, and the eyes of the man in black suddenly focused on the door.
Their eyes widened in horror, trying to see if there was anyone inside, but before they could look more, they felt a chill run through their backs.
The strip of red cloth on the book behind it looked very strange in the night, and with the gradually louder sound, some people in black even began to tremble in their legs.
"Let's go up together and see if there is any trace of Chu Lingyi in the broken temple."
The man in black finally made up his mind and began to move forward slowly, yes, moving!
Mu Li watched a few timid men in black continue to move, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, it seemed that it was time to give them a dose of fierce medicine.
Chu Lingyi looked at Mu Li, who was trying to imitate, and couldn't take his eyes off anymore, and there was a smile on his pale face.
Since growing up, Chu Lingyi has rarely smiled, and because of being on the battlefield for a long time, Chu Lingyi has even less smiles.
But seeing Mu Li's back in front of him, Chu Lingyi's heart warmed, and he just wanted to look at her like this.
It was raining heavily outside the window, and from time to time there were ghost cries imitated by Mu Li, but Chu Lingyi looked at her with a smile, and his eyes were gentle enough to pinch out the water.
It turns out that the feeling of a person walking into his heart turns out to be like this, the curiosity at the beginning to the warmth of the heart now.
"Woo-woo-"
Then came a woman's cry, which was so terrible that many people in black looked around again and stopped.
There were voices all around me, there seemed to be a woman crying in my ears, and a man in black turned his head and screamed and turned away.
There was a shadow on the wall of the ruined temple in the distance, and the man in black just now couldn't help but escape when he saw this.
The rest of the men in black pretended to be calm and stood there looking around, the cries in their ears getting closer and closer, and the rain mixed with sweat ran down their faces.
Seeing that they were about to enter the ruined temple, Mu Li put them into the house, which was very dark and could not see their fingers.
At this time, there was a sudden cry of a baby around him, and the baby's cry was mixed with a woman's voice.
As soon as they walked into the ruined temple, the door behind them slammed shut, and they all turned their heads, their eyes full of panic, but this was not the most terrifying.
Suddenly, it was as if something had swept over his face, but for a short time, someone was so frightened that someone sat down on the ground.
The cry was getting closer and closer, and there seemed to be something on their faces, and everyone was waiting for it, slowly retreating to the door.
