Chapter 559: Killing on a Rainy Night
Looking at Bodhizi's contemplative appearance, he should have understood something, but he didn't fully understand.
The figure of the ghost king gradually faded away, and I didn't have time to explain more, so I followed lightly.
The crackling of the leaves of the rain and the rumbling of the water of the Yunnan River obscured our steps.
Click-
A flash of thunder flashed, and I vaguely saw the ghost king standing in front of a house.
She stretched out her slender arms, her long, gray-green nails, and inserted them into the deadbolt with a creaking sound.
"Who?"
A woman's voice came from the room.
The dim lights came on, and the ground was full of sawdust drilled through by fingernails.
The wind blew with rain drops, and the door was wide open.
An old woman with white hair in a vest and trousers, covered in pleats, was rubbing her sleepy eyes, barely looking ahead.
The light was too dim for she to see who was standing in the doorway.
The Ghost King was nearly two meters tall, standing in a low doorway, with only one chin exposed, and two slender arms hanging down.
Her hair and nails, nourished by the power of yin, were long, glowing dark green under the dim butter lamp.
The Ghost King bent down, brushed his wet head away, and leaned his face closer to the old woman, "Look closely, who am I?"
"Are you...... Jade?"
The confusion on the old woman's face disappeared, replaced by dilated pupils and almost spasmodic panic in the muscles!
Poofโ
A huge reflection of the claws flashed on the wall, and the old woman had three more deep scars from the center of her left eyebrow, all the way into her lower abdomen.
The old woman fell, blood flowing.
The Ghost King bent down and turned from the cramped room.
The moment I turned around, I saw her pale face soaked in blood, and my heart couldn't help but stagnate.
Fortunately, the Ghost King didn't look at us more, but turned away from us.
Bodhizi was probably frightened enough, and his voice stammered a little, "Hidden Dragon, it's ...... Isn't it a ghost, why do you have to pick the lock with a fingernail?"
I said, "When the body of a ghost is condensed to a certain extent through the yin force, it cannot travel back and forth."
"At the same time, it will be stronger and faster."
This time, I didn't follow, but found a big tree more than 20 meters high and climbed to the top of the tree.
Directly below us, about twenty acres or so, is the entire Red Jade Gang's settlement.
One door after another opened, and the screams continued.
Blood mixed with rain flowed outward, and the damp jungle had a faint fishy smell.
More than 50 people were slaughtered in half an hour.
The entire dock of the Ruby Gang was shrouded in a layer of blood in the silent rainy night.
The ghost king dragged his blood-soaked body to the Dian River step by step, disappearing into the turbulent water.
Sure enough, the situation of the entire Ruby Gang was not much different from what I imagined.
I jumped from the tree, clapped my hands when I landed, and shook the mud off my feet.
The body was damp and miserable, and the rain flowed down the neck and collar, which was extremely uncomfortable.
A hot air evaporates from the body, steames the water off the body, and holds up the umbrella.
"Senior, let's go back."
Bodhi Zi climbed to the ground with difficulty, shook off the water on his body, and said a little depressedly, "Qianlong, can you help me to process the water on my body again?"
"No. The fire element evaporates the body from the inside out, and when used on other people, it will burn."
I held the umbrella for Bodhizi, "Senior, if you don't mind, you can take off your clothes now and change them again."
has been soaked in the rain, and Bodhi's face has been white.
He didn't care about any face, he divided himself by two, took himself off completely, and wiped his body dry with dirty clothes.
In the blink of an eye, Bodhi Zi fell ill with a brand-new linen robe and held up an umbrella.
Even if there was no danger, we didn't dare to take it lightly, and walked slowly along the riverside with umbrellas, without swaggering to summon the Pure Bone Spirit Horse.
On the way, Bodhi finally couldn't hold back and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Qianlong Hidden Dragon, why aren't you surprised at all when you come here today and see the Ghost King killing?"
"Like...... Ever since you've been here, you've looked like you've had a lot of things to do."
"Do you know something?"
I've been waiting for Bodhi's question, and that's why I'm bringing him with me today.
Seeing ghosts, blood, killings, and treacherous events can make the upright Bodhi Zi truly grow.
I said, "Ever since I came to the Ruby Gang, I have felt a strong yin power."
"Countless unjust souls, hidden in the sky above the abandoned houses, are full of grievances."
"I'm sure that all the members of the Ruby Gang are dead, and their souls have turned into earthbound spirits, haunting the village and never leaving for a long time."
Bodhi asked, "What are Earthbound Spirits?"
I said, "They are a kind of ghosts, because when they die, they are so angry that they lock up their souls, just like people with Alzheimer's, and their memories are always stuck on a certain day."
"The day they died was the sixteenth of July."
"They will keep repeating the day of July 16, living normally and being killed...... It's been repeating endlessly."
Bodhi Zi was puzzled: "In that case, what are we dealing with a group of dead people?"
I said, "Earthbound spirits have all the memories they had before they died, and they can give us a lot of useful information as they repeat them."
"For example, we know today that the name of the Ghost King is Qingyu."
"The ghost king slaughtered the people of the whole village, which shows that he has a deep hatred for the village."
"Wait for Ming'er, we can knock on the side and ask for more useful information."
Now, we have obtained many clues from knowing only a little about the ghost king.
The cause of the ghost king's death was that he was put in an iron cage and tortured for a whole year.
After her death, she killed more than fifty people in revenge, leaving none of the Ruby Gang alive.
After getting these clues, we can know that dealing with the Ghost King with the water element is enough to make her afraid.
If you can drag the battlefield into the water, it will be enough to cut its strength in half!
Bodhizi thought thoughtfully, "Since the people of the Red Jade Gang know about it and keep the memories before they died, let's just interrogate them directly."
"How troublesome is it to sneak around like this, knock on the side, knock on the side?"
I said, "Earthbound spirits are like a bunch of mentally ill people."
"When talking to mentally ill people, you have to follow their words, otherwise if you say something that they don't understand, it will cause the mentally ill***."
"More than fifty Earthbound Spirits, with the help of the terrain, are immortal and immortal, and we can't be opponents at all." Look at the book
After my layers of analysis, Bodhi Zi was completely dumbfounded.
