Chapter 20: The Hunt
Su Lin carefully examined the marks on the bed, there was a thin layer of red translucent mucus left on it, and the translucent trajectory extended all the way from the kang to the window, which should be the traces left by the movement of those red paste slimes.
Su Lin followed these traces and kept tracking the courtyard outside, and as the distance became farther and farther, the translucent traces became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared by the wall.
As expected, it must have climbed over the wall and left here.
"It's still possible to do such a thing." Su Lin exclaimed.
The other party can not only possess the stitched corpse, but also escape from the golden cicada after the body is torn into pieces, this kind of magical power is really unfathomable.
The Taoist priest before laughed at him for being a Qi cultivator, so what kind of realm was the other party? Anyway, he should be a Jindan monk.
Although he won this time, Su Lin was not confident to win the second time.
If the other party borrows the corpse and kills it back, there is no way for him to escape from death again.
The Taoist priest carried all kinds of strange magic weapons, and he had already seen the effect of the bell, in addition to the bell, the other party also had other powerful magic weapons, and the broken iron box and molten silver in the room were the best proof.
With just one supernatural power, it is impossible for him to defeat him no matter what.
The only way is to kill the other party directly while they are still a puddle of slime!
"We must kill him before he can borrow his corpse to return his soul." Su Lin said coldly.
But where will the Taoist priest who turns into slime and escapes go?
"Hey, what's going on here?" Qin Xueye's voice suddenly sounded behind him, Su Lin turned around suddenly, saw the other party holding a knife, and walked into the courtyard with a frightened expression.
When Qin Xue Ye saw Luo Huainan, she gasped, directly aimed the tip of the knife at Luo Huainan, and then shouted to Su Lin: "Xiao Lin, come over to me!" She's the missing Oiran in Hirayama Castle! This guy is not alive! ”
"I know." Su Lin said lightly, "Sister Xue Ye, put down the knife first, the person who really wants to kill has already run away." ”
Qin Xueye's brows furrowed even tighter, a large number of rumors of Zhiwei that he had heard when he was a child came to his mind one after another, although he didn't understand the current situation, Qin Xueye still slowly put down the knife and asked, "What happened in your house?" What happened to the corpse? ”
Of course she didn't believe that the dry corpse was Su Lin's masterpiece, after seeing the hand that could only move yesterday, the officials in the Great Xia Law did not believe that ghosts and gods had been left behind by her, and seeing things that could not be explained by common sense, now her first reaction was that demons and ghosts did it.
"You can understand that it was done by demons, and the reason why Huainan became like this is also that guy's masterpiece." Su Lin said.
"Huainan?"
Qin Xueye frowned, glanced at Luo Huainan, and said in her heart that she had just met and called it so intimately, the Oiran deserved to be the Oiran, and she was so fascinated by the little brother she liked in three or two clicks.
Fortunately, this woman is just a corpse now, and she can't make any big waves.
Su Lin walked towards the house, picked up the bell on the bed and shook it casually, Qin Xueye beside him yawned, looked around with tired eyes, and said: "This place is also unlivable, you can sleep with us tonight, I have to go back to rest first, I don't seem to have slept well last night." ”
"Sister Xueye, it's daytime, and we still have to catch demons." Su Lin said as he continued to shake the bell.
Qin Xue Ye thought for a while, patted Su Lin's shoulder with a smile, and said lightly: "What a mere demon is, if it really has the ability, it won't hide its head and tail, and when I have enough energy, I will talk to Ma Ye, and then it's not too late to think about it in the long run." ”
Very well, this magic weapon can be activated without a mantra, and the effect seems to give people plenty of reasons to sleep and rest.
But...... Luo Huainan didn't seem to react.
"Don't you want to sleep?" Su Lin looked at Luo Huainan.
She shook her head obediently: "Not sleepy." ”
This magic weapon doesn't seem to have any effect on Luo Huainan, is it because she is a dead person?
Su Lin didn't spend any more time studying the loot he had just obtained, he stopped shaking the bell, and pulled Qin Xue Ye to walk in the direction of the county office, saying as he walked: "That demon is very weak now, we must kill him as soon as possible, otherwise when he recovers, none of us will be opponents." ”
"Really?" Qin Xueye's sanity recovered slightly.
Su Lin ignored the other party, he went to the county office to re-observe the message left by the severed hand before.
He didn't know what the severed hand was, but now he did.
That severed hand should have been someone's arm under the Taoist priest's hand, and like Luo Huainan, it was not controlled by the Taoist priest.
According to Su Lin's guess, the severed limbs of the corpse will only be controlled by the Taoist priest when they are connected to the Taoist priest's body, and once they are separated from the Taoist priest's body, the control of those severed limbs will be returned to the original owner.
Therefore, during the battle just now, after the two severed hands were abandoned by the Taoist priest, they immediately showed extremely painful appearances.
It didn't take long for Su Lin to come to the county office, and the county office still had the stench left after the severed hand rotted, and there were still ink marks left by the severed hand on the ground in the center, because of the struggle, the ink marks were disorganized and difficult to distinguish.
Su Lin squatted down on the ground and said without replying: "Sister Xue Ye, do you remember what the first word written by the severed hand was before?" ”
"It's not a word, it's a fork, and then a dot, I don't recognize the word."
As he spoke, Qin Xueye took out the crumpled piece of paper, Su Lin spread it out and looked at it, immediately handed the paper back to Qin Xueye, got up and walked outside the yamen.
Qin Xueye hurriedly raised her legs to follow: "Do you know where that demon is?" ”
"I can't see that severed hand, so I can't look at the shape to see the strokes, a little bit, all I can think of is a righteous word, this is most likely a word in the name of the place, the demon is good at controlling the corpse, I ask you, which place has the most corpses, and there is a righteous word in the name?"
Qin Xueye's eyes lit up: "Yizhuang! ”
"Yes, that's the answer." Su Lin said, "Sister Lao Xue Ye went to inform Ma Ye that I would go to the nearest Yizhuang outside the village first." ”
Su Lin paused, thought for a moment, and added: "You don't have to come in when you get to Yizhuang, just wait outside, you have to do this, you know?!" ”
"Are you doing it alone?"
"Do you think I can do it? I forgot the corpse in my room? Su Lin said with a smile.
If it weren't for Luo Huainan knowing the truth and seeing this confident smile, he would really think that Su Lin had the chance to win.
Su Lin looked at Luo Huainan and said, "Do you have anything to say to me?" ”
"Let's talk about it when Brother Su Lin comes back." Luo Huainan twisted his fingers and smiled.
"Huainan, if I kill that Taoist priest, if nothing happens, you should turn back into a corpse, if you have something to do yet, I can help you complete it." Su Lin said.
Luo Huainan was stunned.
She frowned bitterly, stared down at Su Lin's toes, and laughed softly: "Then, if I turn back into a corpse, can Brother Su Lin take my little thumb bone?" Just take it for me...... I'll be with you all the time. ”
Su Lin was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and nodded vigorously: "That Huainan...... I'll go first. ”
"Hmmm! Be careful all the way. ”
