Everyone fell silent, not knowing what they were thinking. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The crackling of the campfire.
"He Sheng, I choose to quit. After a long silence, Barrich was the first to speak. And when he opened his mouth, he surprised everyone.
Chen Kai looked around at everyone, and then said without emotion: "Maybe someone is lying?"
Bai Ruiqi didn't answer Chen Kai's words at all, looked at He Sheng and said: "He Sheng, I choose to quit, after I go back, I will naturally return the money for this mission, you see how it is." ”
"If you want to go, let's go, and whoever else wants to go, just leave with Bairich tomorrow morning. He Sheng did not keep it, but let it go very generously.
Wu Qing's face looked very hideous under the light of the fire, he glanced at the two brothers sitting beside him, and said viciously: "I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay and find out who attacked me!
"I chose to leave. Chen Kai looked at Lin Dong as he spoke, the meaning was obvious, he didn't dare to stay at the second order, Lin Dong, you are a first-order, or go back with us.
Lin Dong shook his head, he decided to complete this task. He needs to gain experience. "I'm not leaving. I'm going to stay and get the job done. ”
"I listen to Brother He. Jiang Yue's eyes were always on He Sheng, and it was obvious that she had been carried away.
After a night of silence, everyone sat around the campfire and rested for a while.
Early the next morning, Chen Kai and Bai Ruiqi walked out of the mansion with their backpacks on their backs and walked back in the direction they came.
"Lin Dong, are you really not going back with us?" Chen Kai looked at Lin Dong incomprehensibly.
"I'm really not going back, this is my first time on a mission, why do I have to learn a little bit before leaving, do you say yes. ”
"Then be careful yourself, this place is very weird!" Chen Kai just wanted to say a few more words, when he heard Bai Ruiqi next to him say: "Chen Kai, if you don't leave, it's too late, people have already decided, what else do you have to say! Go, go!"
Bai Ruiqi's eyes when she looked at Lin Dong were full of banter and pity.
But Lin Dong didn't care at all.
After Bai Ruiqi and Chen Kai disappeared into the town, He Sheng said to the rest of the people: "This time, we are mainly to investigate the reason for the disappearance of these residents, not to eliminate those culprits, so everything is done according to our ability, as long as we find something, we will leave here immediately, three brothers of the martial family, you go to the west of the town to have a look." Jiang Yue, you take Lin Dong to the east, and I am in charge of the town. ”
"Brother He, I want to be with you. ”
"Now is not the time to talk about this, Lin Dong's strength is the worst, and it is the first time to go on a mission, you have no experience, you have experience in dealing with ghosts. Since Lin Dong chose to stay, he is our teammate, don't say more. ”
He Sheng glanced at Lin Dong, Lin Dong immediately understood, bowed to Jiang Yue and said, "Senior Sister Jiang, I'm tired." ”
Jiang Yue saw that He Sheng had already decided, so there was no way to say anything more. I can only reluctantly agree.
The three brothers of the martial arts family carried the big knife on their backs, arched their hands and went out, He Sheng also went out, Jiang Yue walked out of the mansion with He Sheng, completely leaving Lin Dong aside.
He Sheng didn't pay much attention to Jiang Yue, and after he went out, he began to check one by one, looking for clues. Jiang Yue saw that He Sheng didn't want to pay much attention to herself, so she could only pout her lips and walk towards the east of the town by herself.
"Lin Dong, you came here with Brother He last night, tell me about the situation there. ”
"Senior Sister Jiang, I went to the west last night. ”
"No way, Brother He obviously said that you went to the eastern hillside. Jiang Yue didn't believe Lin Dong's words at all, "There is no one else here, you can be honest." ”
Lin Dong could only shake his head helplessly, this Jiang Yue's mind was completely on He Sheng, and he couldn't rely on it at all, it seemed that he still had to be careful.
He talked to the avatar, but he couldn't give himself a good explanation, and he couldn't figure out who was in danger, or if someone was lying.
Baita Town is built on the mountain, and there are basically no people to the east, and it doesn't go far before leaving the town.
Jiang Yue was still walking on her own, but Lin Dong's heart sank, and when she looked at the mountain road carefully, she could clearly see that there were traces of being trampled on.
And if you look carefully along the traces, you can only restore a person's footprints.
Could it be that He Sheng really came to the east last night? What was it that followed him to the west......
Jiang Yue saw that Lin Dong had been looking down at the ground, and also looked at the road overgrown with weeds, but she couldn't see any difference, so she asked, "Lin Dong, did you find anything?"
"Senior Sister Jiang, did you see me go out last night?"
"Last night, I only saw Brother He chase him out, but I didn't see you. ”
"There are footprints here. ”
"It's not normal to have footprints, Brother He chased you here last night......"
"There is only one man's footprint!"
This time it was Jiang Yue's turn to be surprised, "What did you say?"
"There's only one man's footprint here!"
Jiang Yue calmed down for a moment and then said, "You mean, you and Big Brother He were both deceived last night, and it was indeed someone else who attacked Wu Qing?"
Lin Dong frowned and nodded solemnly, this was the first time he had encountered these ghosts that he could only see in the classics, and he was naturally a little nervous.
Jiang Yue had carried out several missions in the end, and had also encountered a disciple of ghostly things, after listening to Lin Dong's words, he was still very calm, took out an exorcism talisman, handed it to Lin Dong, and then took out another one himself, "Use internal qi to activate it, this is made by Senior Brother Ouyang of the Formation Hall, and it is much better than the miscellaneous ones you bought." ”
The two of them pinched the exorcism charm and slowly continued to walk forward, and saw the corpse of a black animal on the ground not far away. When I walked over, I saw that it was a black cat, but this black cat was huge, and it was a fierce thing at first glance.
Jiang Yue pulled out the sword, turned the black cat over, saw a wound on the black cat's abdomen, and said, "This was killed by Brother He, and I know very well the wound caused by Brother He's swordsmanship." It seems that this is what Brother He asked you to bring back last night. ”
After retracting the long sword, he took out another poison repellent charm and injected it into the internal qi, and then threw it on the corpse of the black cat, and after an extremely unpleasant smell wafted out, Jiang Yue pinched his nose and said, "The corpse poison has been removed, Lin Dong takes it, let's go back." ”
Lin Dong didn't dislike it, picked up the corpse of the black cat, followed behind Jiang Yue, and walked towards the town.
Not long after leaving, he came back again, which made He Sheng feel very surprised, and at the same time a little unhappy, "Why don't you investigate well, what are you doing here, is it fun here?"
Lin Dong lifted the corpse of the black cat and said to He Sheng, "Brother He, you killed this thing last night. ”
He Sheng walked over, looked at it carefully, and said, "Yes, it's this thing, I asked you to get it back last night, but you didn't take it." ”
"It wasn't me you met last night. ”
Before He Sheng could ask, Jiang Yue took the lead and said, "Brother He, we have investigated, and we have only found traces of your movements. ”
"You mean that I actually went to the eastern hillside last night, and then killed this black cat, instead of chasing Lin Dong?"
Jiang Yue and Lin Dong nodded together, agreeing with what He Sheng said.
"Who is the one who attacked Wu Qing in a sneak attack? No, they may be in danger!" He Sheng was startled, and rushed towards the west of the town, "Lin Dong, you lead the way, you walk this road!"
Lin Dong didn't talk much nonsense, so he rushed towards the cemetery in the west first, and Wu Qing was the primary target.
When the three of them arrived, they saw that the three brothers of the Wu family were left alone with Wu Wei fighting with a blood-red monkey, and the situation was already precarious. Wu Qing and Wu Hong were already lying on the ground in tattered clothes, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
When Wu Wei saw Lin Dong and them rushing over, he anxiously asked for help: "Come and help me!"
He Sheng didn't talk much nonsense, he directly pulled out the long sword, and directly slashed out with a sword qi. Straight for the Blood Monkey.
Lightning-fast!
The blood monkey couldn't dodge, and the sword qi directly hit the blood monkey's body, and blood splattered immediately. The pain-eating blood monkey screamed and fled into the distance. After a while, it was gone.
He Sheng didn't catch up, the blow just now was already his strongest attack, and it consumed a lot. Quickly walked to Wu Wei's side, took out three emerald pills, threw one to Wu Wei, and then the remaining two were stuffed into Wu Qing's and Wu Wei's mouths respectively.
"Fortunately, it was just the blood poison of the blood monkey, and it was not a big deal. He Sheng breathed a sigh of relief after checking it, "Lin Dong came over and took a hand, helped Wu Hong, let's go back first." ”
Lin Dong just wanted to speak, but heard the voice of the incarnation sound: "Where there are blood monkeys, there will generally be a lot of resentment, and Lin Dong is very dangerous here." ”
After everyone returned to the mansion and placed the unconscious Wu Qing and Wu Hong, the remaining four people gathered together to discuss whether to leave or stay.
"The blood poison on Wu Qing and Wu Hong's bodies is very deep, and my detoxification pill can only save my life, if I want to be completely cured, I still need to return to the sect. ”
Wu Wei's voice was a little stiff, "Don't worry, after returning to the sect, I will compensate you for the detoxification pill." ”
"Wu Wei, what do you mean?" Jiang Yue heard Wu Wei's words, stood up directly, and looked at him viciously, "If it weren't for Brother He's timely action, even you would have suffered." Don't know what's going on!"
Wu Wei also broke out when he heard this, stood up and roared angrily: "I don't know what to do, if we hadn't listened to He Sheng's words and accepted this task, would we have encountered these things?"
"If you have the ability, you can go to the elder who issued the task to trouble!, now blame Brother He, what kind of nerves are you. Jiang Yue was not polite and competed against each other.
"That's enough! This task is beyond the scope of what we can handle, I have decided to give up the mission, everyone pack up, and go back tomorrow!" He Sheng took the trouble and made a decision.
