Chapter 106: The Woman in the Red Gate

That night, as the dark clouds overshadowed the afterglow of the stars, Lester's restless heart calmed down a little, and only he knew the reason in his heart. He had long been suspicious of those strangers, so when Shao Yan walked back to the inn with winged winds, his expression became incomprehensible.

Shao Yan waited in the Leicester Inn for more than two hours, but still did not see Lan Lingxiang and his party return, it stands to reason that it will not take long to find out the information in the west of the village, and the second group should have arrived before themselves, they must have encountered some trouble. If this is the case, it will be bad, Senior Brother and Ling Wenxuan have already fallen into the hands of the enemy, and Gui Xun'er has to try to protect Eluson and the other villagers in the west of the village, if the news cannot be conveyed to the other four today, by tomorrow, Lopelle will definitely find a way to catch them all.

"Miss Shao, don't worry, take a sip of tea to warm your stomach first, I'm sure your companions will come soon. Lester said as he filled the teacup on the table.

When Shao Yan picked up the teacup and was about to drink it, there was a rush of running sound outside, she poked her head out and saw Lin Yaoxi running over breathlessly, Lan Lingxiang followed behind with her chest covered, warning her not to run so fast, Xue Shaoling on the side was pulling a non-stop skeleton with a rope, Youna caught up with Lin Yaoxi, but Shao Yan didn't ask the first question.

"This ...... What kind of monster is this? How did you catch him?" After everyone walked into the house, Shao Yan hurriedly came to Xue Shaoling's side and looked at the inhuman-like skeleton that he was bound to the ground.

"The 'living corpse' that Father Li commissioned us to investigate refers to this goods. Xue Shaoling clapped his hands and stood up, asking Lin Yaoxi to tell Shao Yan about their investigation of the ghost attack incident at Aunt Lu's house.

"I see! The living corpses that Li Jikui was referring to turned out to be all Heavenly Gift Sect disciples, no wonder Senior Brother and Father Ling couldn't kill them. After listening to Lin Yaoxi's narration, Shao Yan stared and pondered, not noticing that Lester had a fierce look on his face at this time.

Xue Shaoling looked around and asked, "Why did you return to the inn alone, and where did the other three go?"

"We met Lopelle at the village altar, what was he going to do with a little girl?" Shao Yan scratched her short hair and tried to recall, "Oh! yes, it seems to be called the Apocalypse Sacrifice, and when he was about to perform the sacrifice, a blacksmith named Eluson led a group of villagers in the west of the village to destroy the ceremony and denounce the ghost attack in the west of the village. After everyone sat down at the table, Shao Yan swallowed her saliva and continued, "Originally, we hid it very well, if it weren't for Ling Wenxuan's sudden hot-headed and revealing his identity as a Tianyao Sect priest, we wouldn't have to put this on the table. It's a good thing now, in order to cover our escape, it also affected the senior brother. โ€

"I think with the wisdom of Father Priest, he must have his own reasons, and we still have to figure out how to get them out. โ€

"Xiao Na, are you thinking too highly of Ling Xuan, will there be any other explanation for his behavior besides being stupid?" Lan Lingxiang pursed his lips, dissatisfied with Youna's appearance of knowing Ling Wenxuan very well.

"I'm just talking about things!"

"Okay, don't intervene if you are a Salo, let's listen to the second-in-command of the Langtian Adventure Group, Deputy Head Shao. Lan Lingxiang turned to Shao Yan as she said and asked her what she thought of this.

"For now we should join up with Rose, it's not safe here, and Lopelle will soon lock down the entire village in order to arrest us. Shao Yan tapped her hand on the tabletop and thought for a moment, "The hiding place where Gui Xun'er and the troublesome villagers in the west of the village, including Yi Lusen, are hidden, and only then can we establish the next plan. โ€

Xue Shaoling learned Shao Yan's movements and knocked on the table: "Second Senior Sister, what is the relationship between the Yi Lusen you mentioned and the Yi blacksmith we visited?"

"The blacksmith you are referring to is Ilupin, Iluson is his younger brother, the two are known for making their own metal products, known as the blacksmith brothers, we know from other villagers in the west of the village, Ilupin died a long time ago, and now Ilupin is a Godsend. โ€

Xue Shaoling suddenly realized: "No wonder Yi Luping's attitude towards us is so cold, it turns out that he is the living corpse that killed Yi Lusen's wife, and when it comes to the fact that Yi Blacksmith's house is the first ghost attack in the whole village, everything is revealed." โ€

"Now that everything is understood, you Langtian Adventure Group can go back and tell the client, about your friends, I will find a way to get the village chief to release them, and please don't continue to pursue the rest. Lester's words made everyone look up, and at the beginning of their entry into the village, this man had been enthusiastic in helping them, but now his attitude had taken a hundred and eighty-degree turn, which could not help but make people suspicious.

"I'm sorry, we won't leave without exposing Loppelรฉ's conspiracy. Shao Yan replied firmly.

"You...... Well, let it go. Leicester realized that he was squeezing a smile out of his anger and argued that he should prepare some food and drinks to relieve the fatigue of the crowd after all the things he had been through.

While Leicester was preparing the food, everyone went on to talk about the incident of the living dead in the village of Grancia, and everyone agreed that Lopelle was the mastermind of the incident, and the odds were too small if they clashed head-on.

While everyone was discussing the side strategy, a stack of shredded pork slices and two stacks of vegetarian stir-fry were served, and Lester stood at the table, waiting for them to pick up their chopsticks.

Shao Yan just picked up a green pepper, her nose squirmed, and she immediately felt that something was wrong, she quickly took a chopstick and flew to Youna, knocking down the green vegetables in her hand.

"Don't eat it, it's poisonous. As she spoke, Shao Yan summoned a spell ball and struck Lester with a burst of fire.

Lester was caught off guard, and suddenly his whole body burned, rolling on the ground in pain, and his skin fell off little by little under the effect of the flames, and his flesh burned out like ashes, revealing a skeletal face with a hideous complexion.

Shao Yan kicked over the tables and chairs, and surrounded Lester from four directions with the people with weapons in hand, while Yuna stayed on the other side and nervously watched the situation on both sides.

Lester straightened his skull, slowly stood up, and said, "If you want to blame, it's because you're too obsessed with wanting to know the truth of the matter, and you're destroying the Sect Master's resurrection technique, and you're making enemies of our entire Grancia Village." โ€

Shao Yan lifted her glasses and said in a straight voice: "What we have to do is to save the villagers from being poisoned by Lopelle." โ€

"Save, don't laugh, only the Sect Master can save us. Lester's teeth were closed together, and he couldn't tell if he was angry or sad.

"Second Senior Sister, don't talk nonsense with him, arrest this living corpse, and don't let him harm other villagers anymore. Lin Yaoxi said as she threw a flying blade at Lester, cutting off one of the opponent's ribs.

But Lester, who was a skeleton, didn't feel any pain after all, picked up two chairs and threw them towards Shao Yan and Lin Yaoxi, and then fled towards the door while the two waved their hands to block them.

Yuna by the door naturally didn't want Lester to escape so easily, and she quickly grabbed the other party's shoulders and wrists, trying to make him stop.

But Yuna miscalculated, and the other party saw that he couldn't escape, so he had a plan. I saw Lester turn around, grab Yuna's neck with his left hand, and push her her back with his right hand, so that she faces everyone.

So, Yuna was held hostage again, and since she woke up in the secret cave of Glaze Island, she was held hostage for the second time, last time because of the strategy of the priest, and this time because of her own inadequacy.

"Leave me alone, catch Lester!" Yuna's delicate voice was filled with guilt for not doing her a favor.

"That stinky boy over there, you release the guy next to you so I can release this girl. Lester pointed to the living corpse that was tied to death by the rope at Xue Shaoling's feet, and pulled Youna back a few steps.

"This is a living corpse of the Heavenly Sect, your kind, not the son of Aunt Lu, what are you saving him for?" Xue Shaoling smiled lightly to relieve the other party's psychological pressure.

Lester scolded: "Don't talk nonsense with me, I say that if you are a human being, you will change it or not?"

"Deal, you release Xiao Na first, and we will release Aunt Lu's son, after all, human life is more important. Shao Yan calmly glanced at Xue Shaoling and asked him to untie Aunt Lu's son.

"Okay, since the second senior sister agreed, I had no choice but to do it. Xue Shaoling immediately understood what Shao Yan meant, and bent down to untie the living corpse.

"I'll count down to the three, you let go of Aunt Lu's son first, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless. Lester said as he pressed more force on Yuna's neck, "...... 2. ......"

"Okay, do as you say!" Before Lester counted to three, Xue Shaoling pushed Aunt Lu's son hard to Lester.

As a result, Lester was caught off guard, and in a panic, Yuna took the opportunity to escape. When Lester held the shoulders of Aunt Lu's son, he found that Xue Shaoling had not completely untied this person.

But it was too late, Lan Lingxiang and Lin Yaoxi attacked from two hidden places on the left and right, Lin Yaoxi's flying blade cut off Lester's feet, and Lan Lingxiang shot him a few more times in the knee.

With the splash of kneecaps, Lester let out a piercing scream of pain, and he wanted to get up with his hands after losing his legs, but Xue Shaoling immediately rushed forward to tie his hands when he saw this.

"Not only did he poison us, but he also dared to hold Cortana hostage, I should give you a few more shots before I could get angry. Lan Lingxiang put his foot on Lester's shoulder, and pointed the gun at his head.

"If you want to fight, you can fight, anyway, I can't be killed, but it's you, be careful that the sect leader will break your corpse into thousands of pieces. โ€

Lan Lingxiang was surprised to find that in the middle of Lester's speech, the broken bone fragments returned to Lester as if he had grown legs, and soon the broken body parts were reassembled into his legs, and everything became intact.

When Lan Lingxiang was about to pull the trigger, a woman's voice came from inside the room, she coughed in the middle of her, ran to the door to cover her chest, and her body looked very weak.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Be merciful, don't kill my daddy!"

The long hair of the woman in white covered her face, and it was not until she pulled her hair through her hand that everyone could see her face clearly: this was a delicate woman in her early twenties, and her yellowed face concealed her original outstanding appearance, and if she had not been sick, Yuna estimated that she would be pursued by many young men in the village.

"When I came to the inn, I noticed the sound of someone coughing, are you the woman in the red door?"

The girl nodded in confirmation of Yuna's guess, indicating that she was Lester's daughter. Her father died many years ago, and it was Lopelle who brought him back to her.

Shao Yan glanced at Lester on the ground and decided to tell the truth to the woman in white: "Do you know that he has become a living corpse that survives by sucking human essence. He locked you in the house just to suck your spirit, and you didn't have any strange disease, but you lost it. People use their essence to sustain their lives, and when your essence is exhausted, you will die, do you understand?"

Lester's daughter glanced at Lester on the ground and replied, "Actually, I knew early on that he was no longer my father, but during the day he took care of me like a father, and I had the illusion that my father was still alive, and I was deceiving myself, knowing that my father could not be killed, but I still said such things." โ€

"It is impossible for people to live in illusion forever, learn to face reality, and you will find that there are people who are more worthy of your cherishment. Shao Yan clenched the hands of the woman in white as she spoke, and she glanced at Xue Shaoling next to her, "You throw these two living corpses into the house and tidy up the inner room." โ€

"This ...... I said, Second Senior Sister, what are you doing here?" Xue Shaoling spread out his hands and expressed his puzzlement.

"If you want to do it, do it quickly! This place is not to stay long, and we must set out tonight to meet up with Gui Xun'er. After Xue Shaoling dragged Lester and Aunt Lu's son away, Shao Yan turned to Lester's daughter, "Are you willing to go with us?"

Seeing that the other party nodded, Shao Yan carefully took her hand and set off, and Lan Lingxiang behind her looked at Youna with a look of admiration.

"What? don't you blame me for being reckless?"

"I finally understand why Ling Scourge admires you so much, and the most obsessive thing for men is the kind of woman with a brave heart. โ€

Lan Lingxiang looked full of jealousy when she said this, which made Youna a little embarrassed, she couldn't understand what she was worthy of admiration, but it was these kung fu companions who made people envious.

"Okay, let's go, what do you want? Sister Shen?"

"Wait...... What did you just call me?" Youna just wanted to ask, but Lin Yaoxi had already walked away, and she had no choice but to keep up with the other party's footsteps.
