After Liu Bai left, Zhou Kui still stood at the door with Feng Yunfei and said: "Liu Bai seems to be very afraid of that strange person." ”

"Hmph, in my opinion, they're all in this together!"

"You mean, Liu Bai is also a member of the Dagong Esoteric Sect?"

"As things stand, it's very likely."

Thinking of his former classmates, who have now become members of the cult, Zhou Kui felt very depressed and helpless.

"Don't think about it, rest early, you have to get up early tomorrow!"

Feng Yunfei closed the door, hung up the door lock, walked to the bathroom mirror, took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his windbreaker, and called up the WeChat chat interface.

"Tell the master, Dagon has gone deep into Gumo County, and the situation is not optimistic."

A few minutes later, the head of the sect sent a voice: "Go to Simao Village tomorrow, be vigilant, and after discovering the truth of the Dagong Esoteric Sect, I will send Qing Yang, Guo Jia and Zheng Zilong to support you." ”

Feng Yunfei quit WeChat, walked out of the bathroom, walked to the bedside, picked up a bottle of free mineral water on the bedside table, unscrewed the cap, and poured a few sips into his stomach.

Zhou Kui returned to the room and saw Qinglan sitting on the edge of the bed obediently, her body swaying from side to side, her upper and lower eyelids half-open and half-closed, as if she was dozing off.

"I've been on the road all day today, and I haven't had much rest!"

Zhou Kui stood on tiptoe and stepped forward gently, he reached out and touched Qinglan's cheek, at this moment, Qinglan slowly opened her eyes and said tiredly: "Husband, are you back?" ”

"Well, I'm back!"

Zhou Kui took off his coat, laid his clothes flat on the chair, turned off the light, got into the quilt, and soon fell asleep.

That night, Zhou Kui slept restlessly, and he had a very terrible nightmare.

In the dream, he and Qinglan encountered many half-fish, half-human monsters, and one of them turned out to be Liu Bai! After a fierce battle, Qinglan eliminated all the fish-man monsters, but the scene immediately switched to the sea, and an extremely large sea monster with nine snake heads appeared in the sea, and even Qinglan was not the opponent of this huge sea monster, and was finally swallowed by the nine-headed sea monster.

"Don't, don't, don't !!"

With a hoarse scream, Zhou Kui woke up from a nightmare, his whole body was already soaked in cold sweat, Qinglan, who was sleeping next to her, was awakened by Zhou Kui, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, raised her hand to press the lamp on the bedside table, and asked in a slightly tired soft voice: "Did you have a nightmare?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhou Kui turned around and looked at Qinglan silently, his face full of extreme fear.

Finally survived the long night, Zhou Kui and Qinglan finished washing, packed their luggage, and prepared to leave the room.

When they opened the door, they saw that Feng Yunfei had been waiting outside for a long time, and the three of them exchanged pleasantries, and then walked into the elevator and went to the hall on the first floor to meet Liu Bai.

But when they came to the front desk of the hall on the first floor, they were surprised to find that Liu Bai was not there.

"Little sister, did you see the person who helped us pay last night?" Feng Yunfei walked to the counter and asked anxiously.

The waiter, who was called Xiao Ye by Liu Bai, shook his head and replied categorically: "No, I haven't seen him since he returned to the room on the first floor last night." ”

Zhou Kui glanced up at the clock hanging on the wall of the hall, it had already passed the appointed time, and Liu Bai still did not appear.

Feng Yunfei was a little breathless, and he asked Xiao Ye, "Which room does Liu Bai live in?" ”

"101, that's the first room you go into on the left-hand side of the counter." Xiao Ye stood up and stretched out his hand to show Feng Yunfei the direction.

Feng Yunfei replied with a "thank you", then turned around and rushed to the passage on the left side of the counter.

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, Brother Liu......"

Feng Yunfei knocked on the door several times, but no one responded.

Seeing this, Zhou Kui asked Xiao Ye for a spare room card for room 101.

Successfully opened the door of the room, Zhou Kui and Feng Yunfei walked into the house side by side, and just as the two of them slowly approached the edge of the bed, the scene in front of them really startled the two old men.

Liu Bai lay calmly on the bed, his two eyes bulging outward in an incredible way, his mouth was wide open, and there was a line of dried blood at the corner of his mouth.

Feng Yunfei stepped forward and lifted the quilt and reached out to probe Liu Bai's pulse.

"He's been dead for hours!"

Zhou Kui swallowed his saliva, he untied the yellow cloth bag and found a soul talisman from it.

Feng Yunfei took the talisman paper and said to Zhou Kui: "Let me do the magic of soul conjuring, but don't have too much hope!" ”

Zhou Kui nodded wordlessly in response.

"After reciting the conjuring spell, the talisman paper was burned, but there was still no response, indicating that the conjuring spell had failed."

Feng Yunfei had already guessed that this would be the result, so he was not very surprised.

"Senior Brother Feng, can you tell the cause of his death?" Qinglan stood behind Zhou Kui and asked in a solemn tone.

Feng Yunfei glanced back at Qinglan and replied with some uncertainty: "No obvious traces of trauma were found on Liu Bai's corpse, and the cause of his death was really hard to say before the autopsy was conducted. ”

Zhou Kui, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Senior brother, let's call the police!" ”

"No, we can't call the police!"

"Why?"

"We're here on a very confidential mission, one that only the three of us and our heads know about. If we call the police, our plans will be leaked, and it is a question of whether we can leave Gumo County alive. ”

Qinglan walked to Feng Yunfei's side and whispered very approvingly: "Senior Brother Feng is right, if there is an enemy's eyeliner at the Gumo County Police Station, our whereabouts will be exposed, and all efforts will be in vain. ”

"So what do we do now?" Zhou Kui turned his head away, no longer looked at Liu Bai's corpse, and said in a trembling voice.

Feng Yunfei didn't answer Zhou Kui immediately, he left the bed and walked to the coat rack against the wall on the other side.

"Found it!"

Feng Yunfei reached out and rummaged carefully in the coat that Liu Bai wore last night, and it didn't take long to fish out a bunch of keys.

"One of them must be the key to the shuttle bus driven by Liu Bai!" Feng Yunfei shook the key in his hand and said confidently.

"Senior brother mean, let's drive to Simao Village by ourselves?" Zhou Kui finally understood Feng Yunfei's intentions at this time.

Feng Yunfei nodded lightly, and a look of unease flashed on his face: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's retreat quickly!" ”

The trio quickly exited the room and closed the door, and instead of choosing to leave the hall, they jumped through the window into the parking lot next door.

"It's such a big parking lot, but it's just a dirty minibus. Look at the driver's seat of that car, is there a sign on it? ”

Feng Yunfei pointed to a minibus parked in the parking line not far away, Zhou Kui and Qinglan looked in the direction he pointed, and through the window glass, they saw a sign in front of the driver's seat of the minibus, on which a few big characters were written in red paint: "Gumo County - Simao Village".

......

Half an hour later, the bus left Gumo County and turned into a remote winding mountain road, and Zhou Kui's hanging heart finally fell.

Feng Yunfei sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel in his hand, and said relaxedly: "I haven't driven for several years since I got my driver's license. ”

Zhou Kui and Qinglan sat in the seats behind him, and when they heard Feng Yunfei's words, their expressions were slightly nervous.

"Don't worry, I'm still very confident in my skills!"

As soon as Feng Yunfei's words fell, Qinglan, who was sitting by the window, saw a road sign inserted on the side of the road in front of her, on which the dragon flew and the phoenix danced: "Simao Village is 40 kilometers." ”
