Chapter 5: The Incarnation of a Powerful Ghost
The two walked into the ready-to-wear shop one after another.
Due to the snow outside, the light inside is inevitably dim.
There is a gas-powered wall lamp hanging on the wall.,I don't know why it's not turned on.。。
Aside from the wooden furniture, the layout is indistinguishable from that of a modern clothing store.
A wide variety of clothes and satin fabrics are hung in their respective areas, and special dolls are used as models.
Bai Ruosu raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't see the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper who solicited customers.
said hello, and then I heard someone in the back room answer.
"You wait here, I'll talk to the shopkeeper."
Giving instructions to Yan Jing, Bai Ruosu went straight to the inner room.
Before he could enter, he saw a middle-aged man with the shape of Futai coming out of the house.
Yan Jing, who was going to eavesdrop on the past, stopped his tracks.
At a distance of a few meters, he could hear clearly what Bai Ruosu and the shopkeeper were talking about.
"I am Bai Ruosu, the judge and the inspector of the lawsuit, and the daughter of Bai Qiying, you were near the scene on the night my father and mother were attacked?"
"Well, yes, I was in the neighborhood at the time, and I have told you all that I know, where do you dare to hide your secrets."
Suddenly approached by the judge inspector, the shopkeeper seemed to be a little nervous, and stumbled between words.
In between speaking, he glanced at Yan Jing who was standing behind him from time to time.
"I know that this is my private visit, I just want to ask a few simple questions, and I will leave after asking!"
Of course, Bai Ruosu knew that the shopkeeper in front of him had already been questioned.
The problem was that she was dealing with the funeral at the time, and she had no time to take care of anything else, and now she was in a state of worry, and she was worried that the hidden spies in the court would be aware of it, so she could only choose this way to obtain information.
Facing the patrol waist card in Bai Ruosu's hand, the shopkeeper obviously had no right to refuse, and after a short silence, he began to describe the situation at that time, and his hands kept gesturing, but there was still some confusion between his words.
Yan Jing listened carefully to a few words, and found that they were all messy nonsense, only a rough time and place of the attack, and the others could not hear any valuable clues at all.
However, from the conversation between the two, Yan Jing did understand the case itself.
Five days ago, Bai Ruosu's parents were suddenly attacked on the way to investigate the "incense robbery case", and none of them survived.
Because it was late at night and it was located in a remote corner of the city.
By the time the reinforcements of the Three Divisions arrived, the battle was over, and the scene was even more destroyed beyond recognition, and even the soul was difficult to recover, making the anti-murder work deadlocked from the beginning.
"I'm really sorry, I only know so much, I was so scared that I didn't dare to come closer."
The shopkeeper, who was already sweating a little on his forehead, made a final summary.
In fact, Bai Ruosu's subordinates in the trial had sent back the news earlier, and this time they also came with the mentality of trying, thinking that the face-to-face conversation might be fruitful.
It's a pity that the results are still unsatisfactory.
Seeing that he really couldn't ask for valuable clues, Bai Ruosu could only accept this result, turned to look at the soul master, and prepared to ask the shopkeeper to change his clothes so that he could take follow-up actions.
However, just as she turned around, she heard a sudden sound of metal falling behind her.
Bang~
Subconsciously looking back, my pupils suddenly contracted.
I saw that there was a short gun at the foot of the shopkeeper, and the silver-gray gun body was particularly dazzling under the reflection of the light!
"Ahem~ I open a store, and I am usually charged protection money, so I asked someone to buy a pistol for self-defense, which is very reasonable, right?"
The two glanced at each other, and the shopkeeper explained with a dry smile, bending down to pick up the gun.
"Don't move! Stand up! ”
Bai Ruosu, who could stand out in the fierce competition and become the inspector of the court, naturally couldn't let the shopkeeper pick up the gun, and while speaking, he had already pulled out the pistol on his waist, and pointed the muzzle at the latter's head.
It's not uncommon for shops to have guns on hand.
The problem is that this shopkeeper carries a firearm with him, and under normal circumstances, it will definitely be placed in a holster, how can it be dropped at will.
"Don't, don't shoot, it was just an accident."
The shopkeeper raised his hands and stood up tremblingly, his face full of fear.
Was it really an accident?
Bai Ruosu opened his mouth and was about to ask, but before the words came out, he only felt a pain in his wrist, and the firearm was taken out of his hand.
The shopkeeper, who was still cowering a second ago, had bloodshot eyes, a hideous face, and a burst in the blink of an eye!
Taking advantage of Bai Ruosu's brief hesitation, he first whipped the gun away, and then his body fell down, his arms spread widely, and he crashed into the latter like a bull.
Fortunately, Bai Ruosu's strength is not weak, in the face of this sudden impact, his left foot stepped on the ground, his upper body jerked back and then dodged the shopkeeper's grappling, kicked his right foot up, and pointed his toes straight at the latter's heart!
Boom!
With a heavy blow, the collision of flesh and blood even brought a muffled sound.
The shopkeeper tumbled to the ground, but he got up as if he was not hurt in the slightest, and the clothes in his heart squirmed, and black and gray particles poured out of his heart and into his left arm.
The entire arm suddenly appeared on a large scale, the flesh and blood continued to expand, the skin and tendons burst out, and it was extremely disgusting.
The palm of the hand was even cracked and shattered, turning into a huge mouth with wrong fangs!
"Ghost incarnation. You're not a shopkeeper at all, say, why are you pretending to be him! ”
Holding the gun in his left hand and drawing the long sword from his waist with his right hand, Bai Ruosu took a half step forward and asked sharply.
"This 100 gold yuan, I smiled and accepted it, haha~"
His eyes locked on Bai Ruosu, and the shopkeeper smiled and made a forward action, but in the next second, he turned around abruptly and rushed straight to the soul warrior behind.
He knew very well where the real ability of an official monk like Bai Ruosu was, and if he destroyed his contract, he could abolish nearly half of their combat power, and he had already received news that Bai Ruosu's contract was just a low-level soul warrior.
"Kill him!"
Bai Ruosu gave an order in a deep voice, but he stopped moving.
This may be a good opportunity to test the Soul Warrior's abilities.
In the face of the attack that was already approaching in front of him, in order to conform to his state as a low-level soul warrior, Yan Jing did not use any ability that required to mobilize spiritual energy, but relied on the [Insect Premonition] to directly dodge, and then went straight to the door of the shopkeeper with a punch.
The two quickly fought in the store.
Since he couldn't grasp the combat power of a low-level soul warrior, Yan Jing still had to observe the expression on Bai Ruosu's face during the battle.
In terms of physical strength alone, the low-level soul warrior should be at the same level as the guy in front of him, but the left arm of this shopkeeper is obviously where his extraordinary ability lies, and every time he approaches, he will carry an extremely strong suction, and that huge mouth is constantly lowering extremely corrosive liquid, if it touches it, it is estimated that it will be a lot of trouble.
This forced Yan Jing to fall into a disadvantage.
Of course, it's one thing to disguise yourself as a low-level soul warrior, and Yan Jing didn't intend to be defeated in such a place.
After all, he has a lot of things to do after that, and he has to cooperate with Bai Ruosu.
The latter must be let know that he, a low-level soul warrior, is not really a "low-level", as long as he can complete certain conditions, there is still the possibility of continuous "growth".
At the thought of this, Yan Jing suddenly stood still, his body stiffened, like a robot without power.
Bai Ruosu, who was about to join the battlefield next to him, looked stunned, and hurriedly ordered the soul warrior to continue to fight back.
But her command suddenly lost its effect at this moment, and the shopkeeper's attack was already about to fall on the soul warrior.
"Get out of the way!"
In a hurry, Bai Ruosu took out the bell in his arms.
Just about to enter the second stage, he saw that the black-robed soul warrior actually moved on his own.
He only retreated half a step back, easily flashed the shopkeeper's fist, and then bent forward as if he had eyes on the back of his head, and once again avoided the gnawing of the alienated arm, and then did not retreat but advanced, and went straight forward to fight closely.
The shopkeeper, who had firmly gained the upper hand with the ability of a powerful ghost, suddenly found that all his movements had been seen through.
Not to mention that his attack hurt the black-robed soul warrior in front of him, he couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes!
While dodging all the attacks of the shopkeeper, he counterattacked, and his fists fell on him again and again, Yan Jing became more and more at ease, making the battle quickly take on a one-sided situation.
At this time, Bai Ruosu, who was a soul soldier contractor, was staring at the scene in front of her with a stunned face, and couldn't help but get excited in her heart, could it be that her prayer had actually been answered?
Does this black-robed soul warrior have special abilities that he hasn't been aware of?
On the other hand, Yan Jing's side, looking at the shopkeeper who had no power to fight back, he only felt bored.
[Insect Premonition] plus Lu Wu's golden eyes [Acute].
As long as Yan Jing is willing, he can consume this guy in front of him alive without making a move!
