Chapter 331: Dark Shadow
Hong Tuo looked at Kang Nian on the back of the servant with some pity, only to feel that he actually used such a simple and kind little girl, but before he could sigh too much, suddenly a terrifying cold wind blew.
After practicing for a period of time, he had an instinctive sense of danger, and Hong Tu looked in the direction where the wind was blowing, only to see a black shadow, running towards him like a beast.
Brother Hong remembered Wu Gui's instructions, looked at the corpse in the dry well with anxiety, and immediately turned around and ran towards the garden where the city lord's mansion was visiting.
The thing didn't want to let him go, it roared, vaguely like a wolf's howl, and the speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it came behind Hong Fu, and raised its front paws with a cold white light.
Hong Kuo was vigilant in his heart, Wu Gui turned him into a soul state that could not exert mana, and there was an enchantment of mana at that address, and it was not easy to use it.
The black claw was surrounded by black qi, it was an extremely heavy demonic energy, and there was a lot of spiritual power attached to the claw, it seemed that it wanted to smash the troublesome soul with one blow.
Sensing the murderous aura on the other party's body, Hong Tea's speed of escape became even faster, but after all, that thing used mana, coupled with the special attribute of the reason, it was like a shadow, and it couldn't get rid of it at all, and he almost had to close his eyes to meet the blow.
The expected pain was not, Hong Tuo looked up to look at the black shadow, and saw that he was restrained by a white light, and was roaring this struggle, suddenly a man with purple clothes and black hair with antlers, he glanced at Hong Tea, and reminded coldly: "Run!"
Hong Teaser turned around and ran, it was obvious that this antler man was Lu Bai in Ah Lu's mouth, and this enchantment was really set by Lu Bai, so what is the black shadow?
In the bright lights ahead, Hong Tu saw a large banquet, and soon found his body among the many tables and chairs, and plunged into it.
Wu Gui, who was raising his glass to drink, paused, slowly put down the wine glass, pretending that nothing had happened, and communicated with the prince at the same table as usual.
Hong Tuo blinked and came back to his senses, and found that he was stretching out his chopsticks to pick up the fried lotus root slices on the table, in order not to let others find out that something was wrong, he could only put a chopstick in his mouth, which was sweet and crispy.
Hong Tuo understands very well that at a commercial banquet like this, the important thing is not to eat, but to socialize, a meal is extraordinarily long, he looked at the dishes that have not been reduced, it is estimated that he will eat for a while, and he is a little anxious, that thing will not destroy the corpse or change places, without evidence, even if Kang Nian testifies, the city lord of Jiankang will not necessarily believe it.
"The body was found, in the dry well to the east, but the thing also found me, and if it was too late, the body might have been destroyed. ”
Hong Tuo took advantage of the gap between the chewing to pass on the sound to Wu Gui beside him.
Wu Gui was communicating with a businessman in Licheng about some business problems, and the other party faintly revealed that he wanted to cooperate with Wu Gui, but the other party was engaged in the improper industry of gambling houses and red mansions.
"Can you see exactly what that thing looks like? Just now I noticed the deer-white breath, I guess he also made a move, right?"
Hong Tuo nodded secretly: "That thing is covered in black gas, and it can't really be seen, but the murderous aura is extremely heavy, the sound is like a wolf howl, it feels like a beast demon, it wants to kill me, and it was stopped by that Lu Bai." ”
Someone toasted Wu Gui, Wu Gui raised his glass in response, and replied lightly: "That shouldn't be the entity of that thing, but it's a separated demon body, and it won't be too long to appear, since that Lubai intervenes, he shouldn't let him destroy the corpse." ”
"How can you say that Lu Bai is a good demon?"
Wu Gui chuckled: "Not necessarily, it is very easy for him to protect you in that case, but he confirmed that you ran, do you know if there is any communication with that thing?"
"Then why do you think that the corpse will not be destroyed, if there is such a possibility, he can completely help that thing destroy the corpse without being discovered. ”
"Because someone has already seen the corpse, it is still Miss Kang Nian who Lu Bai cares about very much. ”
Hong was slightly shocked, he didn't tell him that Kang Nian also saw the corpse, how did he know?
"Did someone just come and spread the news?"
Hong Tuo looked up at the Jiankang City Lord, who was sitting in the middle and laughing with the guests at the same table, and his expression did not seem to be unusual.
Wu Gui nodded slightly: " Originally, the city lord of Jiankang planned to let his wife salute his beloved daughter tonight, and at the same time let the people present know their favorite little daughter, everyone present probably knows, but not long before you came back, a maid hurriedly came and whispered something in the ear of the city lord of Jiankang, until now the lord of Jiankang city did not let the little daughter come out to salute, and always gave an explanation to the people present, after all, many people here are rushing to marry the fifth lady......”
"Then how do you know that Kang Nian is looking at the corpse......
"It was nothing unusual at first, it can be seen that it happened suddenly, and combined with the situation on your side, it is not difficult to imagine what she saw. ”
Wu Gui was quite confident, and his face was even more smiling, and he made a series of witty words, although he did not cooperate with others, and did not make that person resentful, but respected him a little.
It's not that the kind of calculation between businessmen is not unaware, even if the business is not affectionate, it is still necessary to stay, after all, where is the future thing accurate, and it is always good to leave a line in doing things, but Wu Gui is really powerful, and it does not make people dissatisfied at all.
This person seems to know everything, not to mention the power of mana, and the beauty and food of the mortal world are also well understood, and even have good insights in business affairs, Hong Tuo even doubts whether the Licheng Wu family in his mouth really exists, it seems that he has heard of such a big businessman in Licheng at the beginning, but he has not paid attention to it, and Wu Gui said that the head is the Tao, and it is easy to come, it is not like lying at all, and those people have heard that the Wu family has heard of it, which really makes Hong Tuo very puzzling.
"So what should we do about it?"
At that time, the entire Jiankang City may be under martial law, and the City Lord's Mansion where the body was found will only be tighter, and the outsiders who entered Jiankang City in the past two days will definitely be investigated.
"Wait and see. ”
"Wait and see?"
"Yes, it's obvious that this is a monster committing a crime, when the time comes, we just need to pay attention to where there is a demonic energy, of course, it is not ruled out that the demon borrows the human body to commit the crime, if it is the latter, it will be a lot of trouble, it is difficult to catch it by sneaking into the mortal body before, so we can only monitor the whole city and pay close attention to the actions of everyone in the city. ”
Jiankang City occupies a large area, and Hong Tuo roughly calculated with his sensing range, at least a dozen of him are needed, not to mention monitoring the actions of everyone in the city, which is simply a huge amount of work.
