Chapter Twenty-Three: The Vanishing Coffin

The night was silent, the dim candlelight illuminated Ye Shuo's solemn face, the fat man closed his eyes tightly, his brows were wrinkled for a while and soothed, Ye Shuo was very entangled when he saw it, and carefully observed the room of the coffin shop, except for the chair where the sergeant died in the middle, there were only two tables placed around him, and in the drawer were the books of old accounts, this faΓ§ade seemed to have not been open for a long time, and a white silk cloth hung horizontally between the cantilever beams, and a little black light came into the eyes of Ye Shuo.

Stepping on the table, Night Shuo flew up to the beam, uncovered the white silk cloth, a black package appeared, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, Night Shuo jumped down with the package, put it on the table, and slowly opened it with the narrow knife in his hand, suddenly, black smoke came out violently from the package, his brows furrowed, his sleeves waved, the thick fog dispersed to all sides, and Night Shuo also jumped back.

As expected, I carefully used a knife to pick it open because I was worried about fraud, and if I was close to open it, I would definitely be hit.

When the smoke cleared, a ghost face appeared in front of Night Shimmer, dark iron, the blue-faced fanged grimace was vicious, and the abrupt forehead exuded a cyan glazed brilliance, looking at the exquisiteness of this mask making Night Shuo couldn't help but be speechless, turning over the mask, stacks of silver tickets were revealed, which made Night Shuo's heart as happy as a flower, at this moment, the fat man let out a frightened cry, which made Night Shuo's heart beat instantly, and he turned his head suddenly, the blade in his hand was already pointing forward, and he was about to chop down.

No one, only the fat man was alone in the ghost crying wolf howl, slowly exhaling a breath, the feeling of fear made the heart unbearable, but also worried to walk to the fat man's side.

Shaking the fat man vigorously, Ye Shuo said worriedly: "Yuezhuang, what's wrong with you, what's going on?"

The fat man suddenly opened his eyes, panting with palpitations, looked at Ye Shuo and said: "My ability is limited, I can only look at his recent memories, there are two black-robed people in this coffin shop to meet him, tell him how to cooperate on the road, and attack the county lord, but suddenly something seems to have changed, there was an extremely terrifying thing happening at that time, I can't see his memory, I can only feel boundless fear." ”

Ye Shuo patted the fat man's shoulder worriedly and said, "It's okay, you take your time, don't get hurt yourself." ”

Turning to look at the dead corpse with a complicated expression, he pondered inwardly: "What did he experience at that moment? Why did those two black-robed people disappear, could it be that they harmed him? Also, what does that blue-faced ghost mask represent?"

Originally, I thought it was just a simple task to escort the county lord back to Beijing, but I was attacked and killed by cultivators on the road, and now I encountered this unbelievable thing, what kind of whirlpool did I get involved in.

Thinking about it again, Night Shimmer no longer thinks deeply, he is not qualified to touch this kind of thing, now that he knows that they are going to harm the county lord from the inside and outside, no matter whether it will happen or not, he will always be able to take some precautions.

At this moment, there were bursts of footsteps from the streets, torches shining on the whole street, and a low cheer came from outside the door.

"It's the officers and soldiers of the General's Palace. ”

The fat man glanced at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes, thinking of the reason for the officer's possible death and the officer who came at this time, Night Flash's eyes flickered, it seems that this officer may have betrayed the force or some organization to which he belonged, which led to the murder.

Without thinking about it anymore, he raised his hand to put the fat man into the Yama Mark, casually put away the black package on the table, and Nightshimmer turned around and ran towards the backyard.

If the officers and soldiers find out that they suddenly appear here, and he is also an entourage of the county lord, how can they explain it? Say that they have discovered that this soldier may be an internal ghost and want to harm the county lord? Thinking about the night shimmer, his head is big, and when the time comes, he really jumps into the Lechuan River and can't wash it.

Passing through the inner courtyard, Nightshimmer came to the warehouse in the backyard, hurried past the coffin, got up and jumped on the high wall, and was about to jump off the brick on the wall. Suddenly, Night Shuo stopped the momentum, his pupils contracted, he turned his head stiffly, his expression was heavy, he licked his dry lips, Night Shuo jumped off the wall without saying a word, and left without looking back, the fat man felt the change in Night Shuo, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, what did you see?"

Nightshimmer's throat was dry, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Remember those heavy, solid coffins that covered the floor when we went in?"

"Remember, that's where we went to the front yard. ”

After exhaling a breath of heat to make herself feel so cold anymore, Nightshimmer said in a deep voice, "Just as I was leaving, I found that there were two less coffins all over the floor. ”

The fat man was shocked and said, "How is that possible? You mean, someone removed the coffin while we were in the front yard? Could you be mistaken?"

Nightshimmer shook her head and wiped the cold sweat from her head.

"No, I don't dare to say anything else, my memory is still very good. ”

The fat man exclaimed more and more: "The coffin is so heavy, how can it be carried away without a sound, even if someone can quietly carry the coffin, the strength must be very strong, it is impossible not to find you in the front yard." ”

Nightshimmer's expression was heavy, and looking at the moonless sky, he said a little guess of his own.

"That's what I'm wondering, maybe it's not necessarily the person who moved the coffin?"

He felt a little trembling in his heart for his thoughts, but while trembling, he felt excitement that he had never felt before, even if he was not a human being, there was an underworld behind him.

The corners of the mouth are slightly raised,

"It's really, getting more and more exciting. ”

............

On the long dark street, the figure of the teenager slowly disappeared into the night street.

............

General Zhou looked at the sergeant who died tragically in front of him, his face was gloomy and terrible, listening to the report of the general next to him, he waved his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and thought.

Wang Tao is a soldier who is very important to himself, this kid looks like his dead brother, so he usually takes more care, and occasionally asks him to drink and chat with him, joke and talk nonsense, but I didn't expect this to happen now.

His subordinates reported to themselves that Wang Tao had behaved abnormally recently, and not long after he found a note on his bed, saying that someone wanted to harm the county lord, and also marked this coffin shop, the note seemed to be deliberate, but he still brought the general over, because he believed that there must be a reason, but he saw this tragic situation.

Covering the white cloth with his own hands, General Zhou said to his cronies in a heavy tone: "After I go back, bury it well, inform the county lord, what to say and what not to say, you should know, whether it is true or not, send more people when you go on the road tomorrow." ”

Looking at this coffin shop with a solemn expression, General Zhou's heart became more and more uneasy, and there was always a feeling that a storm was coming, even if he was in Cloud City, he felt a little cold and heavy.

The coffin shop became dark again, blending in with the dark night around it, and among the coffins placed in the backyard, one of the coffins shook slightly, and a low knocking sound came from the coffin, as if something had hit the lid of the coffin, oppressive and gloomy, making a chilling sound.

"Knock, knock......"
