Chapter 11: Killing Intent
Liang Jiu didn't think about it anymore, since the catastrophe didn't die, there was no need to worry about it so much.
No matter how mysterious the pot is and what its purpose is, that's not something he should think about.
Now, what he has to do is to go to the inn and protect the hall master!
The inn is close in front of you, and the noisy conversations and noises of the guests come and go, a lively scene.
Suddenly, the bright moonlight shone down, and the originally dim earth became a little overcast.
As if feeling something, Liang Jiu raised his head and looked above the inn, and on the roof of the inn, there was a vague figure standing.
From a distance, it is impossible to see the person's appearance, and it is impossible to know whether the person is on the front or back, whether he is a man or a woman.
But for some reason, Liang Jiu could feel a killing intent and did not hide it at all.
The killing intent may be very abstract, but it can also be understood that Liang Jiu suddenly had a sense of checkmate at this time. It's as if the next moment you'll be in the Nine Heavens, and there's no turning point.
Liang Jiu's heart was beating violently, he hadn't been in Liyue for a long time, and he couldn't have been in trouble with any enemies, let alone such a terrible enemy.
Just when Liang Jiu wanted to face each other, the vague figure disappeared.
Liang Jiu's eyes widened in surprise, but he couldn't find a trace at all, as if no one had ever appeared there. Don't...... Is it your own delusion? But the sense of death crisis is so strong and so real.
It seems that he is being targeted. It seems that you can't walk at night in the future, and now there are many people here, and that person doesn't dare to do it, and he is safe for the time being, but in the future, he may not be able to say.
Myself...... Do you want to go to the hall master? Such a powerful enemy, I'm afraid it's not weaker than the hall master, right? If you're still with the hall master, it will bring a lot of trouble to the hall master, right?
But if this person is not his enemy, but the enemy of the Hall of the Dead, and he is far away from the hall master, isn't it just giving the other party a chance to break them one by one? Although there is really not much difference between having yourself and not having yourself......
Liang Jiu's thought was not unfounded, after all, the Afterlife Hall had a long history and a special nature, and it was not impossible to provoke a few fears in the long years.
"Mr. Liang, are you watching birds? The big tree on the top of the Wangshu Inn is evergreen all year round, but it does attract many birds to nest on it. ”
Just as Liang Jiu was pondering, the voice of the shopkeeper Huai'an suddenly sounded beside him.
Liang Jiu subconsciously took a step back, and after seeing the appearance of the person who came, he smiled slightly: "What a coincidence, what a coincidence, we can actually enjoy the wind and moon here on this big night!" ”
The position where the two of them are standing now is on the edge of the island, although they can see the diners not far away, but they are still some distance away from the Wangshu Inn.
"It's not a coincidence at all, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Huai An shook his head and did not take Liang Jiu's words.
"Don't you even pretend?" Liang Jiu sneered, clenched his hands into fists, and looked at Huai'an coldly.
Huai'an looked puzzled and said, "Mr. Liang, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Didn't you just say frankly that you were waiting for me here? Why, still have to disguise now? I was just testing you, but I didn't expect you to admit it directly. During the day, I felt that something was wrong with you, and presumably this commission was just a cover to lure us in. I think the master of the hall is now in your hands. What is the purpose, just say, I have only one condition, don't ......"
"Mr. Liang, did you misunderstand something?" Looking at Liang Jiu and saying with a serious face, Huai'an was a little unbearable. "In order to solve the problem of the inn as soon as possible, I stayed up until now to wait for you to come back, and when I saw you coming back from upstairs, I took the elevator down as soon as possible, just to let you come up with a solution as soon as possible."
"What am I bringing you in? Is it sticking to the door to ward off evil spirits? ”
Belch...... Could it be that I misunderstood?
"You just said that it was a bird on the roof, but I saw a figure in the shade just now, is there a bird as big as a person? Moreover, he still wants to kill me. ”
Huai'an said helplessly, "Dihua Island is mostly a lush water, and it is a pilot site for Liyue to build a wetland conservation park, and it is not surprising that there are birds as big as people. You must have taken the eggs from the traveler, and that vile stranger climbed up to the roof of the house to steal the eggs while the birds and beasts were out foraging, and trampled a large part of my tiles. ”
Speaking of travelers, Huai'an gritted his teeth, but in the end he was deflated like a deflated balloon.
Liang Jiu's face turned blue and red for a while, what Huai'an said was indeed right, the traveler had indeed sold him a few large bird eggs.
It turned out that he was hated by the big bird because he was the murderer of the egg, no wonder the big bird stared at him in the middle of the night without sleeping.
Thinking of his previous misunderstanding, Liang Jiu now just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. Direct social death...... It's embarrassing!
"Hall Master Hu is already waiting for you upstairs, the sooner you settle this matter, I will be able to sleep peacefully sooner." Huai'an yawned, his tone full of tiredness.
"Rest assured, shopkeeper, we have excellent skills in the Afterlife Hall and never miss a beat. Go back to sleep and wait for our good news. Liang Jiu said to Huai'an, and then turned around and ran towards the inn.
Hall Master, I'm coming!
Behind him, a hint of discoloration flashed in Huai'an's eyes.
Upstairs in a room, Hu Tao sat in a chair, a piece of white paper in front of him covered with crooked black lines, and even others couldn't figure out what they meant.
Seeing Liang Jiu coming, Hu Tao pointed to the chair in front of him, and then asked, "How is it?" Did you get any valuable information? ”
Liang Jiu sat down and relayed Xiao Ming's words to Hu Tao in a fifteen-ten.
"In line with my conclusion, it seems that there is indeed only one ghost in the Wangshu Inn." Hu Tao tapped his fingers on the table and pinched his chin.
"The problem now is, it's called the big ...... Where are the ghosts of the Great Underworld? Xiao Ming can feel his breath in the inn, and I didn't notice him leaving the inn, which means that Yin has been staying in the inn. There have been no major problems in the past few days, and the possibility of dementia can be ruled out for the time being. But if there is reason, then why not fulfill the promise with Xiao Ming? ”
"It's a pity that the business of this Wangshu Inn is too prosperous, and you can't use some spells, otherwise you will directly catch the undead and ask for a good look." Hu Tao tapped her head with her fingers in annoyance.
Liang Jiu was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Will there be the intervention of another force?" ”
"Huh!"
Hu Tao's eyes lit up, why didn't he think of this step? Wangshu Inn has a special background, and it is normal for a third party to intervene. If someone had suppressed the ghost in the inn in advance, everything would have been right. As for why you want to stay in the inn, it's naturally because the major is not right! Is there anything more professional in this respect than the Church of the Afterlife?
