The next day, at the end of the day.

In the void space, there was a white cloud, and on the cloud lay a young man with a delicate face, his brows were furrowed, his lips were pale, and he seemed to be having a nightmare.

"Strange ghosts!"

Suddenly, the boy woke up from his dream, jumped up from the ground, and stretched his hand to his waist, as if he wanted to draw a knife and kill the ghost.

But in reality, he didn't have a knife at his waist, and there were no strange ghosts in front of him.

Xu Mu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked around in shock, as if he didn't understand where he was.

Soon after, he saw a majestic palace.

This palace, made of glaze, stands among the clouds of the nine clouds, with countless stairs, surrounded by several large pillars that reach the sky, and the pillars are entwined with golden-scaled red-bearded dragons.

It's close, but it's far away.

"Here again." Xu Mu was bored, closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

Since he was seven years old, his consciousness has stayed in this space for a moment every morning before he wakes up.

At first, he still regarded this as some kind of unspeakable chance, but after a long time, he realized that although the space here was vast and the treasure hall was magnificent, no matter what he did, he couldn't get close to half a point.

Perhaps, this is just an illusion at all.

Xu Mu opened his eyes and no longer thought about this palace, but suddenly remembered the events of last night.

What was he doing last night?

The young man thought about it carefully, his face was confused, he only remembered that he was patrolling the night normally, and then wasted a lot of effort to drive away the group of strange ghosts, but when he finally turned around, he saw another strange ghost.

The strange ghost seems to look very familiar.

Thinking back to the strange ghost's face, Xu Mu's heartbeat unconsciously accelerated, because he couldn't remember what the strange ghost looked like.

He only remembered that the moment he saw the other party, his heart went into arrest.

It seems that the ghost is very important to him.

"Huh? There is a window. ”

Xu Mu got up and began to walk aimlessly in this space, and then suddenly, the clouds and mist in front of him dissipated, and he saw a window suspended here, unlocked, as if waiting for him to push it open.

Crunch......

Xu Mu stepped forward and tried to push the window open, and the moment his hand touched the window frame, the scene in front of him quickly changed to his courtyard in Fengqing Village.

And his hand was on his own window.

Through the crack in the window, he seemed to be able to see a vague black shadow flashing through the room.

"Who is it?!" Xu Mu's right eyelid jumped violently, and he mustered up the courage to push all the windows open.

"There's a corpse on the ground."

There was nothing else in the house but the corpse.

Xu Mu's heart beat faster, and just as he wanted to jump into the house and see who it was, the corpse on the ground turned its head suddenly.

......

Rumble!

The clock on the wall swayed, and the hour had come, and the parrot with its tongue came out and chirped, so the space around Xu Mu suddenly began to collapse.

Click!

The space shattered like a mirror, and countless mirrored glasses fell to the ground, as heavy as a thousand pounds, sharp as a knife, and he was about to smash Xu Mu to death, but at this moment, he woke up.

Call!

The young man opened his eyes, unaffected by the picture in the dream, a carp stood up, and then Xu Mu turned over and jumped to the ground without any pause.

"It's exactly what I saw in my dream!"

Xu Mu looked at the corpse on the ground, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably, because he knew this corpse.

This man's name is Wu Kui.

Between him and Wu Kui, it is not an ordinary acquaintance, because Wu Kui is his savior and his adoptive father, Xu Mu closed his eyes tremblingly, and the memories in his mind kept flashing back.

I still remember that Wu Kui once said that he was originally a baby left behind in Daxi Mountain, and it was he who picked himself up and returned to Fengqing Village and grew up with the relief of the villagers.

In this troubled era, people who can't awaken their abilities are like a mustard, but Wu Kui treats him like a close relative, teaches him the skills of reading, writing and survival, and after more than ten years, he finally became the most famous hunter within a hundred miles, and was also appointed as a night watchman by the imperial court.

But now, Wu Kui is dead.

Die in the night under his rule!

"Charles, can you tell me what's going on?" Xu Mu asked in a trembling voice, before the night came, he had told Wu Kui to stay in the house honestly and not go out, but why is he dead now?

"Look it up for yourself." A mechanical voice sounded in his head, and this was Charles's answer.

Xu Mu picked up the corpse on the ground, felt the coldness of the man's body across time and space, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and after being sentimental for a long time, he wiped away his tears, and then exhaled heavily.

"Okay, I'll do it myself." Xu Mu's eyes were red, and he suddenly pulled out the hunting knife at his waist.

"Isn't it an autopsy, you taught me, the first thing is to analyze the cause of death, right, you said, you have to check the body surface first." Xu Mu's palms trembled uncontrollably, and he stripped off the clothes on Wu Kui's body, "Knife wound on the neck, five centimeters of incision, one of the fatal wounds." ”

"The abdomen was bitten unclear, the subcutaneous tissue was pierced, and the bite marks were unevenly arranged, and it was preliminarily determined to be a ghost bite."

"The nails are purple and black, the epidermis is dry and cold, partially ulcerated, and there is no blood in the body."

Xu Mu's movements stopped suddenly, biting, and there was no blood in his body, obviously this was the essence blood devoured by the strange ghost.

Wu Kui turned into a ghost, and the last thing that killed Wu Kui was a knife wound in the neck.

It's the hunting knife in his hand!

Xu Mu's limbs were numb, and he looked at the hunting knife in his hand tiredly, unable to believe the conclusion he had deduced.

He was stunned, and four years ago, two souls that had claimed to have been sleeping in his body since he was born suddenly woke up.

The two of them, one is known as the only robot in the otherworldly blue star that understands human emotions, proficient in mathematics, physics, medicine, chemistry and other encyclopedic knowledge, and is omniscient and omnipotent in the true sense.

The other, a nasty guy who hasn't introduced his origins, is mysterious and insidious, but has a pair of eyes that are sometimes bright and sometimes gray, and every night in the middle of the night, gray pupils will snatch control of his body.

In the meantime, he would fall into a deep sleep, and he would have no idea what the gray pupils were doing with his body.

It's like last night, as soon as he drove the group of strange ghosts away, gray pupils appeared and occupied his body.

The gray pupil saw the strange ghost that Wu Kui had become, so he drew his sword and killed Wu Kui?

"Charles, that's what I thought it was, right?"

Through a simple analysis, Xu Mu had already guessed the cause of Wu Kui's death, so he hugged his head with great regret and sat on the ground.

He regretted it incomparably, why he didn't take good care of Wu Kui last night, and why he couldn't control his gray pupils.

At the same time as Xu Mu spoke, a string of silver-white light and shadow suddenly floated out of his body.

"Congratulations, host, your forensic science department is finally getting started!" , that string of light and shadow has no facial features, but it can speak.

"That's what you analyzed, last night Wu Kui was infected by a strange ghost and appeared in front of you, so you killed him with a knife."

"To put it bluntly, is it me, or is it him?"

Xu Mu's voice was hoarse, who cut down that knife was very important to him.

"Me or him?" The silver-white data kept flowing, and Charles repeated it solemnly, "Please note that I am the only great technology on the Blue Star that understands human emotions, and the logic of speech cannot be wronged." ”

"No matter who made the move at the time, it can be counted as you killed him, or killed a strange ghost, you used your left hand, slashed diagonally downward, and then brought the body back."

Charles's tone was still very calm, he flew in front of Xu Mu, and the flow of information followed his movements to the corpse on the ground, just like in a homicide case, the criminal identified the scene.

Xu Mu's facial muscles twitched, if he said this, wouldn't he be a big rebel!

"Is it possible to bring him back to life?"

"It's okay if it's on my planet, but it's ...... here"

"You taught me, a man can't say no!"

Xu Mu's eyes were red, and he interrupted Charles's words fiercely.

Charles was silent, he knew that Xu Mu was in a very bad mood at this time, but the medical technology here was really limited, and the means needed to bring the dead back to life were too complicated, and he really couldn't do anything, so he could only fly into Xu Mu's mind and rest temporarily.

"You have a minute left, please dispose of the body quickly and place the sachet in the house, because the bloody smell of iron ions in the air will expose you."

"Please be careful, it's not good!"

It didn't work, Xu Mu tried to ease his emotions, and sat up with a pale face, he couldn't understand what Charles meant.

Who is it that the comer is not good?

Crunch!

The iron ring gate of the courtyard was pushed open, the wind chimes swayed lightly, and there was a fluttering footstep in the courtyard.

While Xu Mu was busy collecting the corpse, his right ear moved slightly, so he heard two footsteps.

He couldn't help but look pale, only two people would come here on weekdays, one was Wu Kui, and the other was Zhao Dayong, but now that Wu Kui was dead, the heavy footsteps outside the courtyard were Zhao Dayong.

So who is that extremely light footstep that only makes a little noise when stepping on a dead leaf?

Bang Dang!

The door of the wooden house was pushed open, and the dimly lit room was instantly brighter.

The woman had a pretty face and was wearing the uniform of the imperial court, while Xu Mu opposite him looked depressed, and the two looked at each other.

"You are the watchman of Fengqing Village?"

The woman's voice was cold, her phoenix eyes were bright, and she asked with a sense of oppression.

Xu Mu nodded slightly, pretending to have just woken up, yawned lazily and said, "I'm Xu Mu, may I ask your Excellency ......?"

Xu Mu rubbed his eyes and took the opportunity to observe the other party's outfit with his peripheral vision.

"Mahogany square board token, black and gold short sword at the waist, and a big red official robe on the outside."

Xu Mu's movements stiffened suddenly, perhaps, he knew what Charles meant when he said that the comer was not good.

"Demon Eradicator Yin Shui'er, I was ordered to investigate the case."

Yin Shui'er's eyes were sharp, as if she was hiding thirty knives:

"You are seriously suspicious, and you must cooperate with the investigation!"
