Chapter 569: The Pretender (Part II)
I took a few steps towards him, and he quickly backed away, still at a distance of more than ten meters from me.
I asked him, "Who are you?" Do you know Luo Youfang's identity? ”
He said: "You can ask that, it means that you already know Luo Youfang's true identity." Zuo Youdao, you are really smart, Luo Youfang didn't look at the wrong person. If he had known something, he would be very pleased. ”
Me: "Luo Youfang is dead?" ”
He shook his head: "Not dead, but his current situation is very dangerous." If you treat him as a human being, please find a way to save him. ”
I asked, "Where is Luo Youfang, how can I save him?" ”
Still shaking his head, he said, "I don't know. My time is almost up, and one last word of advice to you, don't trust anyone......"
At this point, the expression on his face suddenly began to distort, and his body began to twitch violently, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out the last words from between his teeth: "The left foot of the inner ghost...... No...... Palm print...... Kill ...... I! ”
At this time, his body shrank into a ball quickly, and the beam of the flashlight hit him, and I saw that the skin on his face began to fall off quickly, and Luo Youfang's face gradually revealed, but soon, Luo Youfang's face also began to fall off quickly, and unfamiliar faces kept appearing, and his body seemed to be wrapped in this layer of fake skin.
When the last face quickly collapsed and wrinkled, a faint corpse aura emanated from him.
I am too familiar with this corpse qi, the shadow corpses that have appeared in Erlongwan and the old Huang family's underground palace have exactly the same strange corpse qi.
I immediately stepped forward with the green steel sword, and as soon as I reached his side, I saw a long crack in its back, and a withered shadow corpse emerged from it.
This evil corpse is very fast, and in order to prevent it from escaping, I swung my sword and slashed at it the moment it appeared.
There was a snort, and the green steel sword slashed over its shoulder, and there was a touch like the friction of fine sand, and its left arm broke in response.
By this time I had already figured out the Soul Sealing Talisman, and it jerked sideways, trying to escape from its skin. But at this moment, the collapsing leather bag suddenly stretched out its hand, grabbed the leg of the shadow corpse, and took advantage of the brief moment of the shadow corpse's pause, I immediately threw the soul sealing talisman.
As soon as the soul sealing talisman was attached to the door of the shadow corpse, it instantly dispersed the corpse qi on its body, and the body of the shadow corpse trembled twice, and then it collapsed and began to decay rapidly.
I crouched down and looked at the deflated ball, I couldn't make out the expression on that collapsed face, but those eyes kept staring at me, and I saw that those eyes were still shining, as if he was thinking of me and begging me to give him a relief.
The green steel sword couldn't hurt him, so I took out a trekking peg from my backpack and thrust it into his chest, only to see that the leather bag slowly slumped after shaking violently, and the brilliance in those eyes gradually faded.
I sat on the floor, looking at the skin that was still slowly crumbling, and my mind was in chaos.
Who is this man disguised as a thick load, is he a human being, or something else? Why is there a shadow corpse in his body, what is the relationship between him and Luo Youfang, why is one of the faces Luo Youfang's, and how did he avoid Liang Houzai and Senior Brother Geng coming here? What happened to Luo Youfang?
His sudden appearance brought me countless questions, which swirled in my mind, as if forming a huge whirlpool, making me dizzy and unable to calm my mind.
It took me a long time to come to my senses, and I got up and looked at what he had thrown on the ground, only to see that it was a rolled-up spirit flag, a hand-writing flag, which I thought was an elongated pistol at first because it was rolled into a cylinder.
Hasn't this spirit banner always been on my uncle, how did it get into his hands?
I have a faint bad premonition, could it be that Uncle Shi also has an accident.
Carefully put the spirit flag into the backpack, I took the flashlight and prepared to leave, and when I was about to walk out of the tomb, I remembered the backpack on the back of the fake Liang Houzai, his backpack was exactly the same as Liang Houzai, even the position of the kettle was no different.
In fact, it's not just the backpack, every detail on his body is no different from Liang Houzai, so much so that I really mistook him for Liang Houzai at the beginning, until he said the wrong thing, and he didn't show his feet.
Since I met Liang Houzai, except for the first year or two, Liang Houzai has never called me by my name.
I went back to the skin, picked up the backpack on the ground, opened it, and there was nothing else in it, it was full of empty bottles the size of cups, I shone it with a flashlight, and found that some of the bottles still had some powder left.
I looked at the flashlight that fell on the ground again, and from the outside, it was not much different from my flashlight, but I moved the button on it, but I found that the flashlight could not be dimmed.
There is also a sapper shovel attached to the backpack, which is also lighter than the one we usually use.
It seems that he knew that we were coming a long time ago, and made careful preparations for this, but probably due to lack of time, some details are still not well prepared.
I left the cemetery with his backpack, and when I returned to the surface, Liang Houzai and Senior Brother Geng were still standing next to the big pit.
When I dragged the backpack full of medicine bottles to the outside of the pit, Liang Houzai saw the backpack in my hand and immediately frowned: "Isn't this my backpack?" ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched the back, and his face immediately changed: "Someone is pretending to be me!" ”
I put the backpack on the ground: "It's full of empty pill bottles, and some of them still have powder left. The person who pretended to be you just now has been killed by me, in fact, it can't be said that I killed him, when I attacked, he had half a life left, and there was still a shadow corpse hidden in his body. ”
Senior Brother Geng also came over, looked at me, and asked me, "Are you not injured?" ”
"I'm fine," I said, waving my hand, "I found one in the tomb, and it died a terrible death, not only was it beheaded, but its eyes were gouged out. This time, the Burial Sect sent a master into the tomb, and that person's cultivation was above my master. ”
Senior Brother Geng looked a little panicked: "Cultivation is higher than Uncle Chai?" In the entire industry, the Tao can be comparable to Uncle Chai, that is, those old monsters of the hermit sect, to say that they are higher than Uncle Chai's cultivation...... Could it be Zhang Zhenren from Longhu Mountain, or ......"
I interrupted Senior Brother Geng: "It shouldn't be someone in the business, I suspect that this time it was the head of the Burial Sect who personally went to the grave." ”
As he spoke, I glanced at Liang Houzai, he seemed to think of something, but because of the presence of Senior Brother Geng, he didn't speak.
I continued to say to Senior Brother Geng: "It's best to take the medicine bottle in the backpack back to the Soul Village, let Senior Brother Zhuang analyze it, and don't hand it over to the organization." ”
Senior Brother Geng looked a little puzzled: "Why?" ”
"The inner ghost is very hidden," I said to Senior Brother Geng, "They learned the news in advance, and they already knew that we were coming, otherwise, it would be impossible to send someone to disguise themselves as Liang Houzai." Senior brother, take a look at that backpack, it is almost exactly the same as the one that is loaded. ”
Senior Brother Geng looked at Liang's thick backpack and said with a worried face: "Could it be that someone has been following us." ”
I said, "He may not be following us, but he must know our details and movements, but I estimate that the inner ghost should not know the coordinates, otherwise the Burial Sect would not be able to start now." The time of this burial was stuck in the period when Dawei returned to the organization and we were stranded in the army. So I think that the inner ghost should be the top of the organization, and David reported our plan of action to him, and the inner ghost leaked this plan to the Burial Cult. ”
Senior Brother Geng frowned: "The top of the organization...... There can't be an inner ghost. ”
I asked Senior Brother Geng, "Senior Brother, think about it carefully, is there any high-level person who directly contacts us, or in other words, directly with Senior Brother Zhuang or Dawei?" ”
Senior Brother Geng thought for a while and said, "There really is one, but I don't know who that person is. ”
I asked Senior Brother Geng, "Does he know about the coordinates?" ”
Senior Brother Geng shook his head: "I shouldn't know, at present, only the boss, Senior Brother Zhuang and the people in Dawei's team should know, plus a few of us." Well, there are so many people, no one else can possibly know. ”
"Who's the boss?"
Senior Brother Geng suddenly laughed: "Guess what, you know this person." ”
The first thing I thought of was nothing more than Chen Daochang and the second master and their old men, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was wrong.
At this time, Liang Houzai said on the side: "It can't be Wang Dafu, right?" ”
Senior Brother Geng looked at him in amazement: "How do you know?" ”
Liang Houzai said: "Wang Dafu is the last generation of tomb keepers, and it is only fitting for him to be in charge of the affairs of the Nine Great Tombs." ”
"Either you are smart, you thought of it when you thought about it," Senior Brother Geng said, "It is indeed Wang Dafu." In fact, as early as when Wang Dafu entered the tomb of the Dragon King to guard the tomb, he was no longer an ordinary military position, I heard Senior Brother Zhuang say that Wang Dafu was a member of the organization at that time, and his position was very high. ”
I asked Senior Brother Geng, "Is Wang Dafu the head of the organization now?" ”
Senior Brother Geng shook his head: "No, he can be regarded as the second-in-command or third-in-command, mainly responsible for the affairs of the Nine Great Tombs, and said that he would retire when this matter is over." ”
Speaking of which, I remembered the first time I saw Wang Dafu, and at that time I always felt that he didn't seem as simple as it seemed, including the robbery of Yin Yu, he seemed to have expected it.
At the time, I only thought he was a man with a story, but I didn't expect him to be a member of the organization.
I remember that a few years ago, he took Liang Zi to Jisoul Village to find me and Master, and asked us to investigate the matter of the Nine Great Tombs, at that time, the conversation between Master and him always gave people a tacit feeling, I think, maybe at that time, Master already knew his identity, but Liang Zi seemed to be kept in the dark.
Senior Brother Geng told me that only a very small number of people know Wang Dafu's identity at present, and he told me this because I already knew Wang Dafu, and our team was still the main force of the Nine Great Tombs mission.
I asked Senior Brother Geng, apart from us, is there anyone else involved in the Nine Great Tombs?
Senior Brother Geng shook his head, saying that our actions were highly classified, and only a few high-level members of the organization knew about our movements.
Now the question is back to square one, who leaked our whereabouts, everyone is suspicious, but the person who came into direct contact with Dawei is the most suspicious.
I said to Senior Brother Geng, "Senior Brother, I think it is still necessary for us to check the people who are connected with Dawei, but we can only investigate privately, and we can't let the people in the organization know." ”
Senior Brother Geng looked a little embarrassed: "This ...... Not very well, besides, who is going to investigate? ”
I thought about it for a while and said, "I can only let Senior Brother Bao go out, now is an extraordinary time, so I have to use some extraordinary means." ”
