The little girl crouched down and cried out with her head in her hands, "I can't run! I'm not playing anymore!"

Hearing this, the big boy turned pale with fright, ran back to the little girl in two or three steps, took the little girl's hand, quickly removed the mask, recited a nursery rhyme in his mouth, and ran towards the little friends.

"Brother...... "The little girl screamed as she looked at the older boy's back.

"Run!" The older boy turned back and shouted to the little girl, and although there was a mask to cover it, the cry in the older boy's voice still came out.

Before the big boy's words landed, the little girl who was squatting on the ground suddenly fell to her knees, her head tilted back in a strange arc, a creepy sound came out of her throat, the corners of her mouth rose, a strange smile appeared on her face, and the tears in her eyes mixed with blood slid down her forehead, flowed into her hair, and dripped on the ground. After a while, a small pool of blood gathered on the ground, and the little girl had already lost her breath in front of Qiao Xiya and the others in such a strange posture.

"Miss Joe?" Mo Haoning's voice sounded in his ears.

"Huh?" Qiao Xiya suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Mo Haoning with a frightened face.

"Girl, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Chunling hurriedly handed over a silk handkerchief.

Qiao Xiya took the silk handkerchief only to find herself sitting on the horse with tears on her face, and Mo Haoning was walking with the reins below. Looking around, there are no bustling crowds, noisy teahouses, and children playing, and they are clearly not far from the broken temple. Qiao Xiya looked back, and the burned and collapsed broken temple was clearly behind her, and the continuous heat even made Qiao Xiya's back feel a burning sensation. The few forbidden troops left behind by Mo Haoning were slowly cleaning up the ruins.

Qiao Xiya turned around and wiped away the tears on her face, only to realize that what she saw just now was just an illusion, but the fear in her heart made Qiao Xiya still chill.

"What does Miss Joe want to eat?" Mo Haoning looked back at Qiao Xiya and smiled gently.

"Milky mung bean smoothie." Qiao Xiya didn't think about it, and blurted out.

"Okay, it just so happens that the jujube flower cake you like is next door to the milk mung bean smoothie." After that, Mo Haoning turned around and said to Su Huaizuo behind him and the remaining forbidden troops under his command, "Then let's all try the milky mung bean smoothie that our Lord Qiao will never forget today!"

Mo Haoning's words made Qiao Xiya's whole person like five thunderbolts, exactly the same, exactly the same, the tone, movements, and even the words spoken were exactly the same as Qiao Xiya's hallucination just now.

"As long as Lord Hao has a treat, you can eat anything!" Qiao Xiya imitated Su Huaizuo's tone in her memory, and said in unison with Su Huaizuo.

"What did you say?" The smile on Mo Haoning's face froze.

Qiao Xiya and Su Huaizuo's unanimous words shocked Mo Haoning. Not only did the two say the same thing, but even the tone of their voice was exactly the same.

"I said, as long as Lord Hao has a treat, you can eat anything!" Qiao Xiya imitated Su Huaizuo's tone and tone and said it again.

"How do you know what I'm going to say?" Su Huaizuo was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground. There are not many people who can learn his tone and tone vividly, but at the same time, the only person who can predict the prophet is probably Qiao Xiya in front of him.

"I heard that." Qiao Xiya's voice trembled slightly, "I didn't just hear it, I saw it......

"You speak slowly." The fear in the depths of Qiao Xiya's eyes made Mo Haoning feel that things were not so simple.

Qiao Xiya took a deep breath, the cold morning air in the suburbs calmed Qiao Xiya slightly, she sat on the horse, and told in detail what happened in the hallucination just now.

"Girl, you're too scary." Chunling hugged her shoulders and looked around, and couldn't help but feel excited.

"I want to save those children...... Qiao Xiya burst into tears, her hands helplessly grabbed the mane on the horse's neck, and her body trembled uncontrollably, "I'm afraid, I'm really afraid that we will pass like this, it will really make the illusion come true......

"If," Mo Haoning paused, "I mean if, if we go in a different direction, will it break your illusion?"

"I don't know......" Qiao Xiya shook her head slightly.

"Then we'll try." Mo Haoning frowned, "Chuyun, you

Go to the nearest village outside the city and buy a chicken, and then go to the east gate to meet us."

"Yes!" Chu Yun bowed his hand, took the reins handed by the forbidden army on the side, turned over his horse, and ran out of the city.

"Miss Qiao, let's go out of the city from here, and enter the city through the east gate outside the city, maybe we can break the illusion." Mo Haoning looked at Qiao Xiya with a solemn face. Whether he can really break the illusion, he doesn't know, but he must find a way to come out at this time.

Seeing that Qiao Xiya had no objection, Mo Haoning and Su Huaizuo glanced at each other, led everyone to turn around, and went straight to the south gate. Out of the south gate, everyone went all the way to the east, and when they arrived at the east gate, they happened to see Chu Yun riding on a horse, galloping towards the east gate, carrying a colorful rooster with a lively spirit and bright fur on his chest.

The moment she saw the big again, a sense of familiarity and a bad premonition hit Qiao Xiya's heart.

"This chicken...... I've seen ......" Qiao Xiya's words made everyone's hearts tighten.

"Let's go!" Mo Haoning flew on the horse and took Qiao Xiya straight to the pastry shop selling jujube flower cakes.

Before he got closer, Mo Haoning's horse was blocked by the crowd.

Mo Haoning stopped Qiao Xiya from jumping off the horse, and Su Huai, who came from behind, held the forbidden army waist card in his left hand to open a way for the two of them to be in the human wall.

Mo Haoning took Qiao Xiya's hand and walked forward quickly, but Qiao Xiya was cold and didn't dare to move forward.

I finally passed through the human wall and saw the officials who surrounded two floors again. Stretching out his head to look, Ding Yunliang, the prefect of Jin'an City, was squatting on the ground looking at something.

"Lord Ding." Mo Haoning shouted loudly.

"Prince Hao! Mistress Joe! General Su!" Ding Yunliang turned around and saw that it was an acquaintance, so he hurriedly gave up his hand to greet him.

"What's going on?" The official gave up a gap, and Mo Haoning, Qiao Xiya, and Su Huaizuo stood in front of Ding Yunliang.

"Alas!" Ding Yunliang let out a long sigh, "I don't know what's wrong, since the humble post took over the post of prefect of Jin'an City, this strange case has not been broken, early this morning, before the humble breakfast was finished, he received a report, saying that there was a murder case near the newly opened pastry shop in the south of the city, and the humble post hurried to see such a scene." Ding Yunliang said, and let go of his body to the side, revealing the murder scene behind him.

I saw several children scattered on the ground not far apart, face down, their bodies as flat as paper, soaked in pools of blood, and a broken mask beside a slightly older child. Half black, half white, the skull on the mask was unrecognizable due to the shattering. Not far behind the child was a little girl, kneeling on the ground, her body folded backwards, and there was a pool of blood under her.
