Chapter 2: The Dead Pretend to Be Alive

Xia Ji pushed the door into the room, Han Hu sat behind a long, narrow high-legged table, and next to him stood a woman with heavy makeup and a sallow face.

The windows were all closed, only a little light came in through the paper windows, and the room was a little dark, so that Xia Ji couldn't see Han Hu's face clearly.

The woman with heavy makeup next to her is Han Hu Xinna's concubine Yueniang, about twenty-five or six years old, although the makeup is a little thicker, her figure is excellent, and Xia Ji also called Shi Niang obediently.

Xia Ji checked the paper in the consciousness space, and there was no information about Yueniang on the log.

The journal is not a jack of all trades, and only records information within the experience of the new identity.

The new identity should not know Yueniang, so there is no relevant information.

"Your master keeps talking, and the other apprentices have all received the cheats, but you haven't received them." Yue Niangjiao smiled.

"Thank you Master and Mrs. for your concern, Master and Mrs. are selfless and generous, and care for the apprentices, which is really a model for my generation, and the disciples are also very impressed by the mind of Master and Master." Xia Ji said.

"You kid can speak, you must practice this black flame skill hard, save it first when you don't understand it, and answer questions for the teacher." Han Hu threw over a thin booklet.

After a few more polite words, Xia Ji retired with interest.

Out of the house, Xia Ji's face turned serious.

On the surface, Han Hu seemed to be normal, but Xia Ji still noticed a subtle abnormality.

It was too dark in the room, and the long table was suspicious.

Han Hu doesn't seem to want others to get close, and he doesn't want others to see clearly, why is this?

Perhaps, there is a hidden secret hidden in this.

But so what, it has nothing to do with you, the skills are already there.

Xia Ji was about to leave, when a new task prompt popped up on the paper.

Mission: Clear Water City Suspicion

Subtask 2: Investigate Han Hu.

Request: Investigate Han Hu.

Description: A dark room, an empty shell, do you want to know the truth?

Bonus: Very little experience

Xia Ji was slightly stunned.

The water worm at the South Gate Wharf, and the anomaly of the Golden Bull Martial Arts Pavilion are all classified as the same mission, that is, the Clear Water City Suspicious Cloud Mission.

The system takes this as the second subtask, indicating that the various strange events that happened in the martial arts hall are related to the water flies at the dock.

The water worm on the dock, the abnormal hall owner, what kind of connection are these two seemingly unrelated events, can't help but make Xia Ji a little curious.

Xia Ji shrank and hid behind the house, which was actually a gap between the house and the outer wall.

From here, you can observe the people entering and exiting the house, and others have to turn a corner to see Xia Ji.

Even if someone comes to check, Xia Ji can react in advance, which is an excellent position to keep an eye on.

This ability has also been cultivated through many times.

After waiting for a while, a shadow swept out of the room, it was Yueniang, her body was elegant, almost touching the ground, not like a human.

Xia Ji looked at Yueniang's body and knew that she was a master, but she didn't dare to come out.

After a while, it is estimated that Yueniang has gone far.

Xia Ji came out of the gap in the wall, poked a small hole in the window paper, and peeked into the room.

Afraid that the people inside would notice, the hole was very small, and Xia Ji could only see Han Hu's back, and he couldn't see the rest of the room.

Han Hu was still sitting on the high chair, motionless, and his sitting posture didn't seem to change.

The more Xia Ji looked at it, the more strange he felt, and he couldn't hold it anymore, pried open the window, and jumped indoors.

Xia Ji approached and found that Han Hu had several strings behind him, tying him to a chair.

Xia Ji turned to Han Hu again and said softly, "Master." ”

Han Hu didn't react.

Xia Ji stretched out his finger to the end of Han Hu's nose, he couldn't feel his breathing, and then looked at Han Hu's face, there was a faint layer of powder.

Han Hu is dead.

Rao is Xia Ji has experienced a lot of strange things, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.

The dim light in the room, the long table, the makeup on his face, and the rope fixed behind his back were all designed to create the illusion that Han Hu was still alive.

And the one who created this illusion was Yueniang.

However, why can Han Hu speak? It may also be Yueniang's use of some kind of ventriloquist to fake.

Why would she do that? If you think about it later, you should not stay here for a long time.

Xia Ji flashed out of the house, slipped out of the martial arts hall, and walked a few blocks before stopping in a secluded alley.

Looking at the paper log again, [Subtask 2: Investigate Han Hu] has become [Completed] status, and the task reward has also arrived.

Xia Ji looked at the space of consciousness and made the green paint on the sign a little more.

The green paint on the order sign represents experience, and the more green paint, the more experience.

There are four props in the consciousness space, which are soap clothes, order sticks, iron rulers, and paper.

The soap suit loads a new identity, the paper records the task, and the iron ruler represents the skill.

The order sign has two functions, one is to show experience, and the other is to prompt clues.

For example, when you get lost, you can see the direction of the order.

Of course, the tips are not free and require a certain amount of experience.

The order lottery is also a common prop for catching fast, which is divided into two types, green and red.

The green head sign is a catch, and it is a certificate when catching people quickly.

The red-headed sign is a criminal sign, and the county master wants to play the board on TV, and the red-headed sign thrown out is the criminal sign.

When Xia Ji designed the game, he chose a green head stick, because it was a quick puzzle game, and he didn't use a red head sign that represented the punishment.

Once you have experience, you can upgrade your skills in the Iron Ruler.

The iron ruler is a standard weapon for catching fast, the head is blunt, the forks on both sides are wider, and it can lock people's arms or lock swords, and it can also be used to strike, but not stab.

Xia Ji was about to call up the skill interface of the iron ruler when he suddenly heard a slight footstep at the entrance of the alley, which sounded like there were seven or eight people.

This alley is extremely remote, even locals rarely pass by, why is there a group of people suddenly appearing?

Xia Ji saw a pile of rubble next to him, and he got into it without thinking about it.

The rubble pile is not high, and from a distance, most people think that they can't hide people, and if you look closely, you may reveal the stuffing.

Most of the people who suddenly appeared in this group had bad intentions, Xia Ji didn't want to meet them, it was best to avoid them, but he couldn't avoid them.

Through the cracks in the rubble, Xia Ji vaguely saw eight men dressed as sailors, with swords at their waists, speeding through the alley.

The group soon reached the rubble, and they hurried to their way, but no one noticed that there was a man hiding under the rubble.

"Something really on the Daifuku ship? Are the sources reliable? "One of them.

"It's not wrong, it's my sister-in-law's second aunt's third brother who said it." Another humane.

Xia Ji saw that these people were all fierce and strong, and they were going to some kind of cargo ship, most of them were a group of bandits.

Seeing that this group of people was going farther and farther, Xia Ji was also relieved, he just wanted to complete the task, and the less unnecessary trouble the better.

Seeing that the group was about to walk out of the alley, suddenly the leader whistled, and everyone stopped, each drawing his sword.

"Who is it?" The leader shouted in a low voice.

"Are you a friend of the Oe?" A masked figure appears at the entrance of the alley.

Xia Ji heard it clearly, and his heart moved, feeling that the masked man's voice seemed to have been heard somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Yes, who is Your Excellency?" Leading the way.

"I advise you not to interfere in the matter of the magic flag." That masked humanity.

When Xia Ji heard this, she suddenly understood that the masked man's voice was Yueniang, although she deliberately pinched her throat, she still couldn't hide it.

"You know the Magic Flag, too? Who are you? Which school is it? The leader exclaimed.

"You don't deserve to know, you just need to know that if you covet the magic flag for half a point, you Dajiang Gang will be killed." That masked humanity.

"What a big breath, you girl is in good shape, it's better to follow our boss, and you will be blessed." One laughed.

Everyone else laughed.

Suddenly, there was a scream of "ah", and the laughing man fell backwards.

Everyone shouted and waved their knives, only to see the masked man shake a few times, and after a series of screams, everyone fell to the ground and died, leaving only the leader still standing.

"You ......" the leader shuddered.

"Leave you with a message to inform you of the Ouyang Gang Leader." The masked man finished speaking and vanished.

The leader stomped his feet and screamed, and also ran out of the alley.

When they walked away, Xia Ji lifted the rubble, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and couldn't help but feel worried when he thought of Yueniang's weird martial arts.

I didn't dare to stay here for a long time, Xia Ji ran out of the alley, went to the bustling street, walked into a teahouse, asked for a box on the second floor, and drank tea to suppress the shock.

Yueniang's weird kung fu gave Xia Ji a lot of pressure, and she had to improve her skills as soon as possible.

Xia Ji thought that Han Hu's disclosure of the [Black Flame Gong] secret book should be manipulated by Yueniang.

Since Yueniang has a problem, will there be a problem with [Heiyan Gong].

Xia Ji read the [Black Flame Gong] cheats again, and there didn't seem to be any problem, and even if there was a problem, it was the system's automatic practice, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

After Xia Ji finished reading [Black Flame Gong] and opened the iron ruler interface, he saw that there was an additional skill of [Black Flame Gong] in the skill grid, and the status was displayed as [-], that is, he didn't even enter the door.

Xia Ji selects [Black Flame Gong], and a [Promote] button appears behind it.

[Boost] means to consume experience and increase skill level.

The skill level is divided into six realms: "entry, small success, big success, consummation, subtlety, and no tricks".

Xia Ji directly clicked [Promotion], and saw that the state of [Black Flame Gong] had become [Entry].

Xia Ji clicked again, and the state rose to [Xiaocheng].

Xia Ji clicked again, and his state rose to [Dacheng].

Xia Ji still wanted to order, but found that the [Promotion] button turned gray, and then looked at the order sign, there was not much green paint left on it, it seemed that the experience had run out.

What does the Black Flame Gong look like in the [Dacheng] state?

Xia Ji focused on his body, only feeling that there was a scorching qi in his body, and he walked as he wished, hot and swollen, and he wanted to vent it.

The so-called qi is not air, but a substance with direction, movement, and warmth.

For example, if people lack yang qi, they will be afraid of chills and cold limbs, which is the warm characteristic of qi.

It seems that this [Black Flame Gong] exerts the warmth of Qi to the extreme, so it produces a scorching feeling.

Xia Ji, who was born in a Chinese background, is no stranger to these things, but has a natural sense of closeness.

Xia Ji was a little curious, luck in the palm, pressed on the table, and after removing the palm, the desktop showed a palm print an inch deep.

I saw that on the sawdust on the edge of the palm print, there were faint burning marks, which was the unique inflammation of the Black Flame Internal Strength.

With a few clicks of a button, you can cultivate your internal strength to this level, which is not bad.

This is the first time since the crossing that Xia Ji has internal skills, and he is quite excited in his heart, even if he encounters a strong enemy, he boasts that he has the power to fight.
