Chapter 41: Collecting the Body
City.
Wei Feng wore a hat and a robe, like a poor boy who was busy with his life, and he had to hurry on this rainy day.
He witnessed the scene when Bai Jianxing captured Zhu Mingkui, but after the power of the divine soul was isolated, his rain could not detect Zhu Mingkui's physiological state.
He didn't know what kind of power was blocking most of his rain perception, but since he could isolate rain perception, it stands to reason that he could also isolate Zhu Mingkui.
Ten female celebrities, he helped seven of them get out of control, two died due to Zhu Mingkui's skills to transfer injuries, and there was only one left.
It stands to reason that Zhu Mingkui was captured, either she lost control, or she carried out Zhu Mingkui's last order, but this was not the case.
In his perception, the last remaining female red suddenly changed her trajectory and became much more agile, heading towards the west of the city, full of vigilance along the way, and from time to time she had to look back to see if anyone was following.
Before, whether Zhu Mingkui was fleeing or fighting, he was leading the Bai family to the east of the city, and at this time, the female red puppet was sneakily going west, and she didn't have to think about it to know that there must be something greasy in it.
Wei Feng hung two streets behind her, with the talent of magic mist and rain, it was almost impossible for him to find out if he was following people.
The red doll circled around into a dilapidated courtyard in the west of the city, and knelt down in front of a pale young man, who pressed his hand on the doll's head and re-injected some magic.
This young man is Zhu Mingkui, to be precise, his natal puppet, before he decided to blow himself up, he launched a life-saving secret technique, allowing himself to be reincarnated on the natal puppet.
This is also the reason why he is obviously Lv20 and has already obtained a lot of skill points, but his core skills are so weak, he allocates all the skill points to the skills of concealing breath, replacing the dead puppet, and reincarnating the puppet, otherwise how can he fight Bai Shangwu head-on.
He is now in an extremely weak state, and he has no ability to make new dolls anytime soon, so he must keep the only remaining doll, re-inject her magic power, and extend the control time, which will be of great use for both pathfinding and reconnaissance.
Zhu Mingkui weakly withdrew his hand, this natal puppet is his last hole card, and the level needs to be re-upgraded after being reincarnated as a natal puppet, and the original skill is in a blocked state, and before returning to Lv20, he will no longer obtain skill points.
As soon as he thought that he hadn't been able to kill Bai Shangwu until he died, he gritted his teeth with hatred, but thinking of the state in which Bai Jianxing finally controlled him, he couldn't help but shudder, the feeling of being isolated from the world was too scary.
When his emotions calmed down, he began to rethink his life after reincarnation, this body was just an ordinary person, he needed to start practicing from scratch, and the medicinal materials needed to refine the body alone were enough for him to worry.
But this time, he will not make the mistakes made by his predecessor again, this time he will definitely polish the Dongfu realm, have a professional body, one day, he will have the opportunity to take revenge on the Bai family, definitely!
Thinking of this, his face full of hatred finally had some relieved smile.
However, a screeching sound came from nowhere, and the last image he sawβan arrow shot into his eye socket, and the next moment, there was no more.
At the same time, the last female red doll beside him also fell straight down, no longer alive, and the quiet courtyard fell silent again.
-----------------
Zhiya ready-to-wear shop.
The shopkeeper looked at the continuous rain curtain and was worried, not that there was no business on a rainy day, but that the morning had passed, and the little maids who were sent out to find the female red still did not come back to report the news, what this meant He knew very well, those women were afraid that they would be more auspicious.
The shopkeeper is a good shopkeeper, which is also well-known in these nearby stores, unlike the current bosses who only care about whether the employees can still come to work, he is really worried about the fate of these women.
"Smack."
There was some movement in the backyard, and he was immediately awakened from his trance, and ran to the backyard in three steps and two steps, hoping that the little guy had returned from the back door, and preferably with a false alarm like a lost person.
When he went to the backyard for a walk, he found that it was the sound of a stone thrown from nowhere, and even greater disappointment came to his heart, so he had to sigh and return to the front store, sit back on the hard bench, and look at the rain again.
I don't know how long it took, the shopkeeper came back to his senses, sighed deeply again, and planned to find something to do to pass this difficult time, but suddenly found that on the cabinet in front of him, I don't know when there was an extra piece of paper full of small characters, he was too distracted when he returned from the backyard before, and he didn't pay attention.
The handwriting was small and regular, it must have been written by a scholar, he thought to himself, but after seeing the content, he had no intention of thinking about anything else, and in an instant his eyes were wet, and tears and snot flowed down the dry and wrinkled old face, but he didn't care about it, but muttered in a hoarse voice: "How can this be? How can this be......"
He couldn't help but close his eyes, thinking about the group of quiet or spicy female celebrities, thinking about the way they used to make fun of themselves, thinking about their happy smiles when they received their wages, and thinking of the days when they got along in the past, which will never be there anymore from now on.
When the little servant returned, he saw the shopkeeper's dejected appearance, and he leaned over with a disappointed face, trying to tell the shopkeeper that he still hadn't been able to find the women.
Before he could speak, the shopkeeper handed him a piece of water-stained paper and said in a lamenting voice, "Go find their families and collect the corpses." With that, he walked to the backyard step by step, his back full of powerlessness, as if he had lost his soul.
The little guy took the paper in confusion, and when he saw that it was densely recorded whose body was in which alley, he was in a trance in an instant, and the hand holding the paper couldn't help but tremble a little, but he still staggered out of the store.
-----------------
A little later, the Bai family.
When Bai Jianxing walked out of the council hall, it was already approaching evening, and the chief steward was already waiting outside the door for some time, and when he saw the head of the house coming out, he bowed slightly and said, "Master of the house, a strange thing happened in the city today. β
"Speak."
"The ten female reds of the Zhiya Garment Shop died on the same day, and the bodies were scattered all over the city, eight of them did not find the cause of death, and two of the corpses still had the knife of the second young master, and the injuries were also a little strange."
"What's weird?"
"It seems...... It seems to be somewhat similar to the moves used by the second young master when he fought with people today......"
Bai Jianxing suddenly turned his head and looked at him: "Take me to see those corpses." β
"Yes."
The chief steward seemed to have expected it, and he jumped up and led the way in front of his head, and his speed was much faster than Bai Shangwu, who was in the limelight today.
