Lower Liang City.

Outside the Castle Lord's Mansion.

Zhang Yang did not hesitate to solve Liu Tu and the three, I don't know why these three people have changed, but Zhang Yang deduces that these three people are caused by some kind of curse or some special poison. As for the real reason, Zhang Yang is not clear, and he has no substantial evidence to prove his inference.

If the color is not completely covered by the night today, then the transformation of Liu Tu and the three of them cannot be explained to be related to the sky, and Zhang Yang looked at the closed gate of the City Lord's Mansion in front of him, thinking that the change of the three of them may be related to the City Lord's Mansion.

Because it is close to the castle lord's mansion, it causes the hidden curse or poison on the body to explode.

With doubts, Zhang Yang stepped out and came directly to the door of the City Lord's Mansion.

Su Yao and Jessica stood on the side of the street behind, and Zhang Yang didn't let them follow, because this mansion was very problematic.

Raise your hand and show energy.

Zhang Yang shook the old door open with a palm.

Bang –

The heavy gate was broken, a layer of dust flew to the ground, and the gap in the middle spread, revealing the stone screen inside, and did not reveal the true face of the city lord's mansion.

On both sides of the stone screen were passages, Zhang Yang glanced at the tiger head lines on the wall, and without any hesitation, he directly stepped over the threshold and walked into the extremely cool city lord's mansion.

Enter the mansion.

Zhang Yang obviously felt that the temperature here had dropped a lot, but these had no effect on him, but things were a little weird.

Walking in from the passage on the right, Zhang Yang followed the passage into the corridor, and then the scene of the first courtyard on the left.

There were no weeds on the black stone slabs, the old trees in the courtyard were only dead branches, and the cracked stone table was covered with a layer of dust, which was very even.

The simple yard seemed to be empty, there was nothing strange about it, and it was not as bloody and chaotic as the story, and it was more neat than a house in the middle of nowhere.

Although there was no problem with it, Zhang Yang did not take it lightly, and did not rush into the courtyard next to him, Zhang Yang walked along the corridor to the middle hall inside.

Inside the nave.

On the main table was a broken incense burner, the martial arts characters on the wall were shattered, and the chairs on both sides fell to the ground and were scattered everywhere.

Compared to the courtyard outside, this central hall is very messy.

After seeing the scene in the middle hall, Zhang Yang stepped into it, landed on the soles of his feet, and stepped on a mark.

Not caring about the footprints he left, Zhang Yang came to the table in front of him, and he looked at the broken incense burner, in addition to the sand, there were also the wax heads left over from burning and the rotten and shrunken tribute fruit.

"This is supposed to be a place to entertain guests, but there are sacrificial things, what happened to the former City Lord's Mansion?"

Talking to himself in his heart, Zhang Yang pinched a finger of incense ash and sniffed it between his noses.

Smelling a faint smell, Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Mandala flowers!" ”

From the smell of incense ash, Zhang Yang found that it was mixed with mandala flowers, and this mandala flower is a hallucinogenic thing, and in serious cases, it will hurt people's brain nerves, make normal people irritable, and finally go completely crazy.

The incense ash has the ingredient of mandala flowers, and the discovery of this point made Zhang Yang suddenly realize. Combined with the situation of Liu Tu and the others, he can now connect the two things.

If it is said that Liu Tu and the three of them were poisoned by the mandala flower and finally became irritable, this can be said. In addition, people with ulterior motives can use the mandala flower and other means to carry out deep hypnotic control on the victim, so that the victim can retain part of his consciousness when he is crazy.

But the old man at the beginning didn't seem to be like this, and the old man didn't look at it as simple as poisoning.

Analyzing his findings, Zhang Yang stayed away from the broken incense burner, and when his right hand retreated half a step, the floor tiles under his feet suddenly sank.

Boom!

A violent sound erupted around the middle hall, and Zhang Yang suddenly released his anger, because he knew that he had stepped on the mechanism here!

The moment the Gang Qi condensed into a barrier, countless crossbow arrows quickly shot out from the walls on both sides, focusing on Zhang Yang in the middle position.

Bell Bell Bell –

However, crossbow arrows cannot break through the Gang Qi defenses, and can only splash sparks and then bounce elsewhere, or pierce into floor tiles and other locations.

Several rounds of crossbow bolt attacks.

If someone else had changed, I am afraid it would have become a sieve long ago.

Zhang Yang waited until the crossbow bolts stopped firing, and then he restrained his anger, but it did not completely dissipate.

Removing the soles of his feet from the sunken floor tiles, Zhang Yang glanced at the walls full of holes, didn't say a word, walked straight to the back of the middle hall, and continued to go deeper into the City Lord's Mansion.

Meanwhile.

Outside the Castle Lord's Mansion.

Jesse Cara and Su Yao hid outside the street corner, although they were facing the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, but their location was quite hidden, passing from the street, if you didn't look carefully, it was difficult to find the figures of the two people.

Su Yao was clenched by Jessica's little hand, although she was very scared, but looking at the calmness on Jessica's face, she couldn't help but be curious: "Sister Jessica, you seem to be calm, aren't you worried about danger?" ”

Hearing Su Yao's voice, Jessica, who was always vigilant around her, was stunned for a moment, and then showed a beautiful smile at Su Yao.

"I'm worried, but worrying doesn't solve anything, and I'm going to protect you, and if I'm too worried and you're hurt, then I'll blame myself!"

If something really happened to Su Yao, Jessica didn't know how to explain to Zhang Yang, after all, Su Yao was also Zhang Yang's woman, and Zhang Yang told him to protect Su Yao, so even if she fell into danger, Jessica would not let Su Yao get hurt.

Looking at Jessica's smile, Su Yao's little face was sad, but she was not sad because of Jessica's care and protection for herself, but she always felt that she was a burden, and she would be held back by everyone, and now she has to be protected, which is really useless.

"Sister Jessica..."

With her head down, Su Yao opened her mouth with some tears.

Jessica noticed that something was wrong with Su Yao, so she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong Su Yao, is she not feeling well?" ”

Shaking her head, Su Yao blamed herself: "Sister Jessica, I also want to be like you, brave and strong, in the face of these terrible things, I won't be worried and scared, can you help me?" ”

Looking at Jessica with teary eyes, Su Yao wanted to make herself stronger, not like now, she wanted to help Zhang Yang more, and wanted to accompany Zhang Yang into the City Lord's Mansion together.

Looking at Su Yao's sincere eyes, Jessica sighed in her heart, no wonder Zhang Yang wants to take Su Yao with her, and let herself protect Su Yao, this girl's mind is really simple and flawless, maybe she has good communication skills, but she doesn't have too many other ideas, and she lacks exercise.

"Su Yao, as long as you are human, you will be afraid in your heart."

Gently chuckling, Jessica comforted: "Don't talk about me, look at Zhang Yang, don't look at his usual flirtatious appearance, in fact, there are fears in his heart, and there are things he is afraid of, but we don't know about them." ”

"So you don't have to think too much, you will be afraid to show that you are normal, a normal person, and the person Zhang Yang likes."

"If you deliberately change and become someone Zhang Yang doesn't like, then what's the point of your change?"

Jessica understands Su Yao's thoughts quite well, because she also thought like that at first, but later she found that that kind of thinking was too extreme.

Hearing this, Su Yao looked at Jessica and was silent, she understood what Jessica said, but for a while, it was difficult for her to completely change the thoughts in her heart.

And just as the two of them were talking.

On the street behind the two of them, a pool of black water suddenly appeared on the bluestone slab, and then the strange old man emerged from the black water, supporting the ground on both sides with his hands, and his whole body rushed out directly and landed on the black water.

The old man's sharp-beaked monkey's cheeked face turned blue at the moment, and the corners of his mouth raised some arcs, which looked even more weird and terrifying.

The stiff old man looked at everything in front of him, there were no living people in the bunks on both sides, only in the corner in front of him, Jessica and Su Yao were hidden.

"All to death!"

A sharp voice sounded from the old man's body, the corners of the old man's mouth cracked, and he stepped stiffly, his black right fingernail stretched out again, and in the empty left sleeve, a bright red short knife was revealed.

Syllable!

Smack!

In the silence, Jessica suddenly heard a voice behind her, and her back couldn't help but feel a sudden chill, Jessica suddenly turned her head to look, her eyes tightened!

"Be careful!"

With a shout, Jessica subconsciously raised her gun and pointed it at the old man who was already approaching them, and fired quickly.

Bang bang bang!!

The bullet hit the old man's body accurately, but the old man's body was extremely hard, and all the bullets bounced away, and he did not suffer any damage at all.

Seeing this, Jessica pulled Su Yao up and ran outside without any hesitation, this strange old man couldn't even shoot through bullets, Jessica didn't want to fight the other party at all, so the best thing to do was to run quickly!!

Su Yao let Jessica hold herself, she also saw the terrible old man, and she couldn't help but be scared in her heart, and ran away with Jessica.

The strange old man's eyes shifted as Jessica and the others moved, the corners of his mouth cracked wider and wider, and a voice sounded in his body again.

"Run... Run faster..."

"Fear!"

"Keep fearing!!"

The voice spread out, and the old man disappeared in the center of the street in an instant.

Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion.

Zhang Yang walked through the central hall and stood in the inner courtyard.

Looking at the dry pool, everything in the courtyard is dilapidated, which shows that there was a fierce battle here back then.

Zhang Yang was about to continue walking inside, but he suddenly heard a deafening gunshot from outside.

How could there be guns in the ancient world?

The person who can shoot here, there can't be anyone other than Jessica!

"Not good!"

Noticing that something was wrong with Jessica and Su Yao, Zhang Yang suddenly turned around and prepared to go out.

But as soon as Zhang Yang turned around, a headless figure slowly appeared in front of the door behind him, and he was sitting on the steps, and his appearance was without warning.

"It's coming... That's where it goes. ”
