Chapter 39: The Secret Arts

However, these small pills in the basement do not seem to have any fragrance wafting out, maybe at this time, my nose has lost its sense of smell, anyway, since I came to the surgical building today, I haven't smelled anything in my nose. Moreover, most of the small red pills in the dish were in a state of complete melting, leaving only some traces of red liquid, which were left in the white saucer.

Because the area of this small room is too small, only three or four adults can stand, and we people are crammed into it, and it is very inconvenient to move, but it will not help the investigation work. So, Lin asked me and Mu Ruoyan to go back to the hall first, leaving him, Shi Fan and Tang Ming, and continued to move those materials around the house to find useful clues.

As for Uncle Qi in the group, because he was too old and his body had not fully recovered, Lin did not notify him to participate in this emergency operation. In my opinion, Uncle Qi did not participate in the action, and Lin Suo made the right choice. After all, there is a mysterious figure behind Uncle Qi.

His attitude towards the Thirteen Institute is friend or foe, we don't know at all, in this case, Lin Institute is always right not to let Uncle Qi participate in the action. I even have a little doubt that in the previous 61 Jiazi case, Lin suspected that there was an insider leak, could that person be Uncle Qi? If it was really him, the thirteen institutes could be said to be in a worrying situation.

Looking at Ruoyan squatting behind the screen, carefully looking through the information, he secretly made up his mind again: I will definitely do my best to protect everyone in the Thirteen Institutes! After waiting for about ten minutes, Lin Suo, Shi Fan and Tang Ming, with some collected diaries and letters, climbed up from the dark passage.

They said that judging from the results of the search just now, this small underground house is the place where the janitor used to store his private belongings. They also found some objects used to draw talismans to ward off evil spirits, such as yellow paper, vermilion, smoke ink, realgar, ink fountain, etc., which further proved the special identity of the janitor.

"Xiaolou, Ruoyan, the two of you take your things back to the office first, and carefully check these letters and diaries. The janitor went to great lengths to hide them, and there must have been something unexpected in them. The three of us continued to stay here and see if there were any other clues. Lin Suo looked at the two of us and ordered, and after saying that, he immediately commanded Shi Fan and Tang Ming to start a new search non-stop.

Ruoyan and I nodded at him after hearing this, immediately packed up the pile of things, and were about to leave the hall with equipment, when Lin Suo's mobile phone suddenly rang. The person who called was the same team that rushed back to the fog overnight. According to him on the phone, this time he took someone to Mr. X's hometown to investigate, and found a very important clue, which needs to be seen immediately. So, Lin decided to take all the people of the thirteen institutes back to the conference room of the office building, where everyone met with the team.

On the way back to the office, a few of us were in the car, and we seized the time to rummage through the information we found. learned from it that the beautiful prostitute that the janitor once loved was actually a pivotal leader in the White Lotus Sect, which had been bloodily suppressed by the Qing government many times. After the failure of the uprising that year, the woman fled to the janitor's hometown under the protection of the believers.

This woman herself is proficient in spells, she can conjure a living person and a real horse through paper cutting, and she can also have a secret technique of the White Lotus Sect, which can be combined with a man to collect the essence and blood of a man to make her face eternal and her blood forever. Due to the need for spells, she chose to be a Qinglou woman in the town of the janitor's hometown.

But later, she met the janitor and fell in love with him, and the woman stopped the cultivation method of essence blood collection. Once this spell is started, it must not be stopped, otherwise it will weaken the practitioner's body and accelerate aging. However, the woman didn't want to hurt the janitor, so she resolutely interrupted her cultivation.

The weakness of the woman happened to be discovered by those clansmen who "went under the Gu", and they took the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole and put "Gu poison" on the woman, so that the woman's weak body quickly disappeared. However, when she was in love with the janitor, she taught each other some of the original evil arts in the White Lotus Sect. For example, the ability to illusion with the real thing.

On the same day, when the female college student Xiaofan disappeared, she appeared in the foggy city at the same time, and the three women under the monitoring probe were the dummy stand-ins made by the janitor with the original illusion of the White Lotus Sect. It's a pity that now, the janitor is dead, and this mysterious illusion created by the White Lotus Sect has not been recorded by him in words or photos, and others will not be able to understand the principle.

From this point to this, the Thirteen Institute suspected that Mr. X, who was photographed by the surveillance that day, that is, the corpse that moved to the back mountain and was under the surveillance probe, may be the masterpiece of the janitor. He used the lost magic of the White Lotus Sect to arrange a dummy stand-in there in order to disturb everyone's sight and the direction of investigation, just like Xiao Fan, a female college student.
