Chapter 824: Strange Behavior
The rain is pouring down, and few people come out.
Almost all of them hid in the house, enjoying a rare leisure.
Holding a brown oil-paper umbrella, Lin Mengya searched in the palace.
From time to time, he closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, and then, again, he shuttled through the palace.
The location on the map seems to be around here.
Lin Mengya looked left and right, this was already the deepest part of the palace.
Usually there are few people, and the place she is going to is not something that ordinary people can find.
Heavy rain dilutes all the smells left in the air, and it also makes people lose their sensitive five senses.
But all this has no effect on her.
Shennong's system was running rapidly, and after making sure that there was nothing suspicious around, Lin Mengya stepped into an inconspicuous palace.
Originally, she planned to come here after clearing all the suspicious forces in the palace.
But the incident happened suddenly, and in order to rescue her father and eldest brother, she had no choice but to take risks.
After making sure that there were no suspicious people behind her, Lin Mengya flashed into the dilapidated palace alone.
I didn't expect the palace to have such a dilapidated place.
The palace that had been in disrepair was leaking rain everywhere, and the ground was also full of soaked debris, Lin Mengya put away her umbrella, and the palace struggled to move forward.
In the jade box map, the most detailed information is only the location of this courtyard.
But it seems that it will take some effort to find her final destination.
There really isn't much else around but here.
The lonely yard should have been inhabited by no one for a long time.
But the strange thing is that almost all the other palaces, even the place that was chosen by Wan Yanjing as a joint location, are maintained by someone every once in a while, and they will never wither like this.
Behind him, his hearing, which was much sharper than ordinary people, caught the slightest sound.
Lin Mengya looked left and right, and immediately hid behind a broken table, fortunately, the light was very dark here, and it was raining outside, so it should not be easily noticed by others.
As soon as she hid, outside, a few figures walked in.
It seems that the anomaly here is by no means something she can feel alone.
Those who came in were all dressed in robes and had wide hats on their heads.
I can't see people's faces clearly, and I can't distinguish my personality.
I just saw these four people, as if they had a tacit understanding, and they acted almost at the same time and found a certain corner of the hall.
Lin Mengya squatted there, looking at the four people as if they were occupying the four corners of a square.
But in the next second, she was stunned by the actions of those people.
The four of them showed their snow-white wrists almost at the same time, although the rest of the place was still under the cover of the coat and hat, and it was impossible to distinguish between them.
But those hands are definitely slender and white that belong to a woman.
The master of the four hands took out a steel knife that was more than a foot long from his robe.
With a 'bang', the four of them cut off their left hand without a knife at the same time.
Lin Mengya covered her mouth tightly, all this is simply ridiculous!
The huge pain of breaking the wrist is unbearable for ordinary people.
But these four people, as if they were unconscious, let the blood from the broken wrist flow to the ground quickly.
Just when she was hesitating whether to go out.
Suddenly, a fine web spread out from the ground, and the blood, mixed with the rain, was like a paintbrush, outlining a very shallow trace on the ground.
Lin Mengya was a little afraid that those weird lines would spread to her feet, and immediately dodged back.
Fortunately, although the thin line was messy, she stopped knowing that the distance in front of her was more than a meter.
Lin Mengya gasped, because just as she raised her head and observed the four people again, she saw that the four people in the clothes who were almost drained of blood lined up again and walked out of the palace.
There was a thunderclap, and Lin Mengya finally woke up.
If it weren't for the strong smell of blood in the house, she would have thought that she was just dazzled just now.
After waiting cautiously for a while, Lin Mengya estimated that after those people had already left, she stood up from the hiding place.
On the ground, the strange and disorderly blood-colored red line was gradually fading.
It should be sinking rapidly, Lin Mengya didn't have time to take a closer look, but quickly recorded it with the Shennong system.
It was only about half an hour away from those people that the thin line gradually disappeared.
Lin Mengya sniffed hard, and in the air, except for the damp and moldy smell washed by water, there was no blood at all.
This is the first time she has seen such a weird and terrifying thing.
I can't help but associate with the candle dragon.
In addition to this secret organization, she is afraid that it is difficult to think of anyone else who would use such a perverted way to do things.
I stepped on the ground hard, but found that the ground was solid.
Squatted down and looked at the cracks carefully, and touched them with his hands, only to realize that those cracks were really shallow, so that no one would notice them.
But just-
Everything was like a mystery, tightly grasping Lin Mengya's heart.
The heavy rain outside has gradually become lighter, and Lin Mengya also knows that probably her expedition this time may have to come to an end.
Looking at the four severed hands, they were all the same slender and white, only one of them had a delicate ring on it.
Lin Mengya just squatted down and looked at it a few times, and then left in a hurry.
If it was done by the people of the Candle Dragon Society, then these severed hands must have been dealt with by someone.
What you take away at will will only arouse suspicion.
Hurriedly leaving with her paper umbrella, the roaring thunder as her best cover.
Everything she saw today, more than the cool rain, made her feel the coldness in her heart.
It seems that the plan has to be changed slightly.
Behind him, a lonely palace stood there, like a huge beast.
Lin Mengya looked at it with a complicated expression, and finally chose to forget about this eerie and terrifying place for the time being.
However, one day, she will make public all the sins that happened there.
That perverted organization that almost ruined her life, she will definitely uproot it!
The rain gradually subsided, and the thunder slowly receded.
There were gradually figures around, and Lin Mengya slowed down, her face gentle.
No one could tell what she had just been through.
From time to time, palace people holding paper umbrellas came to greet her.
Lin Mengya responded one by one, and then lifted the corners of her skirt and returned to Fengyu Garden.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Bai Su with a worried face.
Presumably because she was in a hurry, when she saw her come in, Bai Su ran over and grabbed Lin Mengya's wrist.
"My miss, where have you gone? It's thundering and raining outside, so what if you catch a cold? β
Bai Su's eager appearance made Lin Mengya feel a little sorry.
She always worries the people around her like this, and it is thanks to them that she can be so brave.
"It's nothing, it's too stuffy in the house on a rainy day, so I went out for a walk. Don't say it, it's really a different feeling to enjoy the flowers in the rain. Although the storm destroys countless flowers, there are also delicate flowers that are not afraid of wind and rain. So, I came back a little late. β
These words are not only for Bai Su, but also for the people around him.
After all, many people have seen her going out on a rainy day.
If there is any association with that matter, wouldn't it be a surprise.
Fortunately, she chose the right time, and when she came out of the abandoned palace, the wind and rain obliterated all traces of her.
Besides, the old palace was so chaotic, and her footprints were even less likely to be seen.
The only way to think about it is to find a reasonable explanation for your behavior.
Fortunately, everyone in Fengyu Garden knew that she loved roses very much, so before Lin Mengya came back, she deliberately went to the courtyard of roses that Xiaoyu had prepared for her.
The shoes and skirts were stained with mud, and she deliberately picked a few surviving rose branches and brought them back.
Now, ordinary people can't find any handle.
After all, she was very careful on the road, making sure that no one had seen everything before she came out of the courtyard of the roses.
Therefore, even if someone has a heart to investigate, it can easily fool the past.
It's just that the abandoned palace, I'm afraid I can't go back until I'm completely sure.
"Why can't you fix this problem? Don't forget, the last time you fell ill, it was to see some flowers in the rain or something. Come on, bring ginger soup and hot water. β
Bai Su's unexpected reaction was so quick that even Lin Mengya was taken aback.
Glancing at each other tacitly, Lin Mengya said 'oh' obediently, and then walked to the side hall where she usually lived with Bai Su one after another.
The two of them were not in a hurry to exchange information, but watched the palace ladies bring ginger soup and hot water before closing the door.
Lin Mengya drank the ginger soup, took off her almost soaked clothes, and couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction after her whole body invaded the warm water.
"Ughβit's still the best feeling, and I feel warm all over."
The cold and slippery feeling is quickly driven away by the hot water.
Lin Mengya leaned on the edge of the bathtub, closed her eyes, and quietly felt this rare moment.
Bai Su personally made a cup of hot tea for Lin Mengya, although it was said that Miss's poison skills were good, but these personal things, she and Bai Qi still developed a good habit of doing it themselves.
Even the ginger soup was boiled by herself, and then a trustworthy girl was guarded by an inch.
It's not just a habit, it's an attitude.
One is the attitude that everyone in the courtyard naturally forms.
No one can hurt Lin Mengya!
Even, she doesn't need this kind of protection.
"You sent all the things I gave Xiaoyu?"
The mist was steaming, and Lin Mengya's slightly closed eyes opened, as shrewd and wise as before.
