Although the old housekeeper has been gone for a long time, I seem to be frightened, I can't sleep after tossing and turning, I sit up for a while, lie down again for a while, close my eyes from time to time, open them from time to time, and look at the roof blankly, and the faces of Zhao Si and Lu Xiaoqing keep appearing in my mind.

The whole person did not feel the slightest sleepiness, in the end I simply got up from the bed, pushed open the door, at this moment the night is thick, it should have reached the middle of the night, silence has become the only style of the whole world, shook his head, since I can't sleep, just go to the street for a stroll, maybe there will be an unexpected discovery.

I don't know how this thought suddenly appeared in my heart, extremely strong, maybe the old butler said something too weird, I am a curious person, this kind of thing will emerge this strong impulse when I encounter this kind of thing, this is the desire for the truth.

The heavy night is extremely dark, if it weren't for the faint moonlight falling from the sky, the current scene is probably similar to being blind, walking along the street, I don't know anything about Tianyuan City at all, not to mention that I don't dare to walk around at night, in case I get lost, it will be troublesome.

The shops on both sides of the street are closed, the whole street is quiet, even if the slight footsteps are especially clear at this moment, if you stop, carefully hold your breath, you can even hear the sound of your heartbeat, so you can imagine how quiet it is tonight.

Be quiet?

No!

It should be said that it is dead and silent, and it is depressing to the heart.

The footsteps were very light, as if I was afraid of waking up something, and for a while I had a feeling of walking on the edge of death, as if the slightest negligence could fall into the endless abyss, and fall into a place of no return, this palpitating feeling became stronger and stronger, and it was impossible to suppress it.

The line of sight was cast into the distance, the end of the street was a void, Tianyuan City was very large, and I had a preliminary understanding during the day, but now it was night, the sight was obstructed, and the distance that could be seen was greatly reduced, and it was not a strange thing to not see the end of the street.

In the dark, I am moving slower and slower, I don't know if it's the depressing environment or other reasons, there are bursts of panic in my heart, gradually, there is an urge to return to the detective agency, of course, this does not mean that I am a timid person who likes to give up, but the surrounding environment is too permeable.

I don't know if the nights in Tianyuan City were as terrible as they are now, to be honest, even if you take a nap in the cemetery, the feeling is definitely much better than now.

The cemetery may be haunted, but in the dark night, no one knows what terrible things will appear on the streets, as the saying goes, the unknown is the scariest, and perhaps this is the truth.

After a rough calculation, I walked for about half a mile, and I followed a straight line, so I only need to follow a straight line to find the detective agency when I return, and the main reason why I walked like this is because Tianyuan City is too big, not to mention the dark night, even during the day, you may get lost.

Until now, there was not even a ghost in sight on the street, and it was silent, but at this time a breeze blew, and it was accompanied by a biting chill, and I shivered, although the cold could not have a substantial effect on me, but it made my heart even more panicked.

Wait a minute!

Why is there no light?

It was so careless that I didn't neglect this detail until now, although almost everyone went to sleep at night, and of course the lights should be turned off, but the lights on the streets would never go out.

I've been in the detective agency for three days, and I went out for a stroll two nights ago, and it was late at night, but there were still sparse lights on the streets, and I asked a passer-by to know that it was a lighting function, and no matter what happened to me, the lights on the streets would never go out.

It is said that it was a special request of the lord of the castle, or it can be said that it is a rule, and everyone must abide by it, because it is precisely because all the lights on the street have been turned off, isn't it strange enough?

Wait, isn't it because the city lord is dead?

Now that everyone is dead, the previous rules are invalid, but if you think about it, it is not at all common sense, even if the past rules are abolished, everyone's habits cannot be changed in just a few days, and the sparse lights on the streets may have become a habit.

Just like eating and sleeping, the lights will not go out every night, and even if it is changed, it will take a long time to adapt to the new rules, and it is impossible to change the habits that have lasted for many years in a few days.

The death of the city lord may indeed change the distribution of power at the top level of Tianyuan City, but it is absolutely impossible to change the habits of many residents so quickly, unless all the regulations against the city lord from the beginning have been in defiance of the yang and have always had the idea of rebellion, so there will be such a rapid change.

The night, the dark night, was so quiet that when I stopped, I couldn't hear anything, and for a moment I felt as if I had come to a world completely cut off from the breath of life.

Frowning, countless possibilities flashed through my mind, but each of them was denied by me, and yet every possibility could be established, but I couldn't find a reasonable basis, and it was simply untenable.

The death of the city lord should have caused a great earthquake in Tian Yuan City, but at this moment, Tian Yuan City was too calm, and the calm made people smell the unusualness hidden in it, just like the night now, the silence was far from being suppressed, and the most disturbing thing was the feeling of palpitations.

Let's go back!

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to go back the way I came, this street, no, it should be said that the whole Tianyuan City is too weird, the further down I go, the more uneasy my heart becomes, as if there is a trap ahead that cannot be crossed, as long as you move forward, there is a possibility of falling into the trap.

Let's go back to the detective agency first, and wait for dawn to come out to investigate, and it seems unrealistic to investigate any details in the dark night, after all, I can't even see the road under my feet, and there is no half a person on the street, so I'm afraid it's like this when I walk all over Tianyuan City.

Turning around, I was about to leave, when suddenly, from some direction, there was a dull sound of footsteps, and it sounded like the sound of drums, but in the middle of the night, it should not be someone beating, it should be footsteps, and there was more than one person.

Someone's coming!

I can't care about leaving, although I don't know what the person is, but at this time it must not be an ordinary person, in order to avoid misunderstanding, I decided to hide, it is very simple to hide in the dark night, just hide in a corner.

A pungent stench from the dark corner easily penetrated into my nostrils, to be honest, I have experienced the same stench a few times, but this is not at all something that ordinary people can bear, even if I experience thousands of times, I am afraid it will not be suitable for such an unimaginable stench.

Damn, what the hell is this place?

Is it a poop poop place?

It is only a dozen meters away from the street, how can it be a place to defecate, the stench will definitely affect the lives of the surrounding residents, and there are more than a dozen restaurants on this street, if it is filled with this stench, the business may be yellow, and it can only be closed.

Fuck, it stinks!

I thought I could hold on for a little while and get out of this place when the footsteps had passed, but I underestimated the power of the stench, and it was not too much to call it the smelliest smell in the world, and I couldn't stand it after only five or six seconds.

At this time, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and when I came to the place where I was standing just now, I stopped, and there were three people in a group, who could be vaguely identified from their clothes and figures, and they should be two men and one woman, but because of the distance and the night, it was impossible to see their appearances.

They seemed to be talking to each other in a whisper, I couldn't hear anything clearly, and I wasn't in the mood to say anything, and I was praying in my heart that the three of them would leave quickly, and in a short time I was completely out of temper due to the stench.

However, after a while, the conversation continued, and I finally couldn't help it, and suddenly the whole person rushed outside as if crazy, and breathed in the fresh air, and the feeling I had not felt for a long time made me even feel the urge to cry, it was so fucking smelly!

"You!"

My sudden appearance startled the three people who were talking, and I don't know if they were thieves or some other reason, so I left without saying a word, and I didn't bother to deal with these three strange people at this time just got rid of the stench, and took a big breath of fresh air.

After a while, the stench finally faded, I let out a sigh of relief, turned to look at the ugly, damn corner in the corner, I don't know what the hell is, it stinks so much?

If you stay for a while, you might be the first person in the cultivation world to be stinked to death!

I wondered if I was going to come over to see what the stench was during the day, but at this moment, the footsteps sounded again, and I was shocked, could it be that the three people had returned again?

Wrong!

The footsteps weren't coming from that direction, and it seemed like there was only one person.

It's there!

In the corner where I just hid!

There are people there, how is this possible, there is not much space in the narrow corner, even if a supreme master is hidden in it, it will definitely be detected by me, but just now I didn't have the slightest feeling, it was obvious that I was the only one among them, and there was no second person.

Stench!

It stinks!

Suddenly, the stench came out of the corner, I was too sensitive to the stench, the whole person was like a cat stepping on its tail, almost jumping up, quickly retreating, a strong uneasiness in my heart quickly emerged, the appearance of the stench was too unusual.
