Chapter 7: The Killer
This knife went down, fast and ruthless, and the attack was extremely heavy.
Zhang Feiyang, who was not sleeping very deeply, woke up in pain.
He barely opened his eyes, trying to see who it was, but he only saw a pair of murderous, cruel and ruthless eyes.
The rest of the parts, because they are one with the darkness, cannot see anything clearly.
Zhang Feiyang couldn't believe that he would be assassinated by someone else inexplicably after resting in the middle of the night, his heart was cold to the bottom, his whole body was stiff, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
He struggled to reach out and grab the man's arm, trying to hold on.
But the whole body was highly tense, and he had been busy all night in order to make clothes, and under the excessive fatigue, he had no physical strength left, so he could only watch the man push his hand away, pull out the dagger, and with a poof, stab it into the chest again in front of him.
Zhang Feiyang's whole body trembled in pain, he could no longer support the huge pain, and closed his eyes.
In the darkness, seeing Zhang Feiyang slumped motionless on the bed, a light of excitement finally lit up in the eyes of the black shadow full of murderous intent, and he left the room silently.
After arriving outside, the black shadow took off his clothes and threw it into the river with the dagger, and then, as if he was nothing, wearing the blue robe of the Fire Fox Sect, swaggered out of the entrance of the laundry department.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, if you only look at the back of this person, you can feel how proud and satisfied you are.
The next day, the white clouds were in the sky, the sky was blue and the wind was clear, and it was a good weather suitable for cultivation.
Zhang Feiyang, who was accidentally attacked, couldn't get up, and was severely criticized from the early morning when Sister Qiao was named, and he had to ask for leave during the afternoon laundry time.
Those two knives almost killed him last night.
Fortunately, the red vest that had just been made had strong toughness, and it blocked the sharp dagger alive and did not let the dagger directly pierce the flesh.
Otherwise, he would have already gone to see Hades twice by now.
Just because you're not dead doesn't mean you're fine.
Zhang Feiyang's body was hit hard first, because of exhaustion and high tension, he could no longer support it, and his body showed signs beyond what he could bear and became ill.
The whole body was hot, hot as if it was a red-hot soldering iron, all the strength seemed to be drained, and the weak face changed from the usual ruddy to sallow.
As for the spiritual aspect, the impact is even greater.
Obviously when he is seriously ill, he should rest more, but Zhang Feiyang can't rest well, every time he almost falls asleep, last night's events will turn into nightmares and wake him up.
As a result, after several tosses in a row, he suddenly became suspicious.
No matter who came to the room and knocked on the door, they would break out in a nervous sweat, sit up from the bed, and stare at the person who came in with bloodshot eyes.
He couldn't find peace until he was confirmed that it wasn't the dark shadow who had come to kill him last night.
In just one month, Zhou Zhou Xian and Sister Qiao, as well as other senior sisters in the laundry department, have visited him more than a dozen times, asked him this and that, cared about his physical and mental condition, and sent him some rejuvenating herbs, hoping that he would have recovered and regained his vitality.
But this didn't have much effect, the two knives under the black shadow were too heavy, and the medicinal materials sent by the senior sister and senior brother in the laundry department were too poor, and their status in the Fire Fox Sect was too low, and they couldn't get any good medicines, not to mention that the occurrence of this incident made Zhang Feiyang have a heart problem.
If you want to recover, it is not easy.
But the main reason is that Zhang Feiyang didn't dare to tell about his assassination.
He wondered why no one knew about such an important thing but himself.
Seeing that a month has passed, more than a dozen people up and down the laundry department have not mentioned this matter, and they have not even asked, and all of them have questions that are only related to illness.
Zhang Feiyang knew that it was probably because the black shadow's strength was too high, and he was able to easily avoid everyone's attention, which led to this strange result.
That can't be said even more.
If a senior sister with a big tongue or Zhou Zhou Xian knew about this and let the person who wanted to kill him know that he was still alive, wouldn't he be assassinated again?
The last time I was healthy, I couldn't stop the other party's two knives, and this time, even if I have the protection of the red vest, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive another knife.
Zhang Feiyang is very aware of his physical condition.
Seeing that Zhang Feiyang's face had always been stiff since he was sick, and he no longer had the ease he used to have, Zhou Zhou Xian fed him a mouthful of medicinal soup and said, "Senior Brother Zhang." Do you have something on your mind?"
Zhang Feiyang was stunned, almost choked on a mouthful of medicinal soup, and hurriedly covered it up with a cough and a smile: "No." I'm just sick. Under the weather. ”
Zhou Zhou Xian shook his head and said, "That's not right. I've lived with you for so long. I can see if you have something on your mind. Are you worried that you won't get better?"
Zhang Feiyang nodded slowly and continued to cover up.
Zhou Zhou Xian shook his head again, as if he had seen through him, and said, "We have been together for so long, and we will live here together for the rest of our lives." Don't you still trust me? Maybe I can help you. ”
At this point, Zhou Zhou Xian was right.
Zhang Feiyang doesn't trust him, but he doesn't distrust his character, after getting along with Zhou Zhou Xian for a few months, Zhou Zhou Xian's character is no problem, Zhang Feiyang just doesn't want Zhou Zhou Xian to get involved in this dangerous matter, and he is even more afraid that if he knows about the assassination, he will inadvertently leak the news that he is still alive, which will be a big trouble.
At least for now, he didn't think about what to do with that man's next assassination.
But seeing that Zhou Zhou Xian looked like he wouldn't give up without saying anything, Zhang Feiyang had no choice but to change the topic and asked casually, "Senior Brother Zhou." Tell me about what's going on out there these days. I haven't been out of the house for almost two months. Is there something going on outside?"
Zhou Zhou Xian shook his head, uninterested: "No." Our sect has always been quite quiet. ”
Seeing that his eyes were looking directly at him, Zhang Feiyang didn't want him to dwell on the assassination again, so he continued to change the topic and asked, "What about the first few months?
This time, it seems to have hit Zhou Xian's acupoint.
His gloomy face suddenly brightened, his eyes lit up, and he talked with a smile, and without further questioning, he told some of the interesting anecdotes he had heard in the previous months: "Of course there is." Hey. Do you know? I heard from the senior brother of the medicine collection department that many inner disciples have returned from hunting demon beasts in the wild.
It was a spectacular scene. It was as if each senior brother had no weight, and he could walk on the cliff on foot. They don't use any ladders, and they can jump as high as three or four feet. The time to climb to the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain is faster than our outer disciples, I don't know how many times. I'd love to see it live. It's a pity that they came up from the back mountain at that time and missed it. ”
Zhang Feiyang listened with fascination, and he didn't know when he would be able to reach this realm.
But after hearing Zhou Xian stop talking, he suddenly came to his senses again, thought of the situation in front of him, and continued to ask questions, diverting Zhou Xian's attention: "Then is there anything else? Is this one?"
"Yes. Zhou Zhou Xian suddenly restrained his smile and excitement, and said, "Senior Brother Xiang of the Alchemy Department, he is also back with him." I heard that after Senior Brother Zhang, after you entered the sect, Senior Brother Xiang temporarily had something to do and went down the mountain. It seems that he went out with the inner disciples, but when he came back, he was very angry. No one knows what's going on. ”
Zhang Feiyang was startled, and Xiang Dong's appearance appeared in his mind, and he asked Zhou Zhou Xian if he was the examiner at that time.
Seeing Zhou Zhou Xian nodding affirmatively, he suddenly remembered that the eyes of the black shadow who assassinated him last night seemed to be somewhat similar to Fu Xiangdong, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, his mental condition was suddenly much worse, and he wanted to sleep tiredly.
Seeing that Zhang Feiyang's eyelids began to fight, and he had already fallen asleep in less than half a burnt of incense, Zhou Zhou Xian remembered that he was still a seriously ill person, and seeing that most of the medicinal soup in his hand had gone, he stood up lightly from the side of the bed and left the room, letting Zhang Feiyang rest alone.
When he heard that Zhou Zhou Xian was closing, Zhang Feiyang opened his eyes again with difficulty, looked at the darkening roof, and clearly relived the picture of the night of the assassination in his mind.
He wanted to see clearly whether the person who came to assassinate him was Xiang Dong.
It's a pity that the room was too dark at that time, and the man was too fast, Zhang Feiyang tried to recall it several times, but he still couldn't determine the identity of the black shadow.
However, after the conversation with Zhou Zhou Xian just now, he was not without gain this time, and finally gradually sketched a vague outline in his heart, and a little simple information about this killer.
Why did he come to kill him, Zhang Feiyang didn't know, but what he knew was that the strength of this killer must be above himself.
The second point is that this killer is definitely not from the laundry department.
Because, he could be sure that the man who came that night was a man.
And the man in the laundry department was gone, except for himself and Zhou Yixian, who was sleeping in another bed at the time.
"If it's really Senior Brother Xiang. Why did he kill me? Just because I him off during the introductory test? Let alone. The person who made him angry at that time was obviously Senior Brother Huo from the corpse transportation department. Senior Brother Xiang can't hold a grudge against me, right?"
Zhang Feiyang shook his head.
"But if it weren't for Senior Brother Xiang, who would want to kill me? I've just entered the Firefox Sect. Anyone you know can count on both hands. I've been in the laundry since I joined the laundry department, and I've never been to any other section, so who would kill me? I'm not a famous person. It doesn't make sense. ”
Zhang Feiyang shook his head again.
For the second half of the night, he couldn't sleep, trying to figure out the ins and outs of this matter, and kept thinking.
But when it came to dawn, it still seemed to be an unsolvable mystery, which made him more and more confused.
Zhang Feiyang was unwilling, and thought about it for about a week, but seeing that he still couldn't solve it, he had to stop staring at this problem for the time being, and focused on more important things.
He began to try to get out of bed, dragging his heavy body, and offered to help Zhou Zhou Xian take out the garbage, just like before.
Of course, Zhou Xian refused.
But Zhang Feiyang did not give up on him and persuaded: "Senior Brother Zhou." You'd better let me do it. I've been in bed for months and haven't seen any improvement. It's even worse. Spirituality too. If you continue to keep me from coming out, I'm afraid I'm going to be scrapped. If you let me go out and take out the garbage and move around, maybe my complexion will gradually improve. ”
"But. It is a long way to go to other departments to collect garbage, and the mountain road is not easy to walk. Your current body can't hold it at all. Zhou Xian persuaded bitterly.
Zhang Feiyang was grateful in his heart and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhou." That's fine. You help me go to other departments to collect garbage, and then organize it with our laundry department. I just had to push the cart out of the mountain gate and do the last step. Just like the first time. From our laundry department to the mountain gate, it is a downhill road, it is very flat, I can walk alone. ”
Hearing Zhang Feiyang say this, seeing the firmness between his eyebrows and eyes, Zhou Zhou Xian finally stopped refusing, nodded, took the sack, pushed the cart, and went out of the laundry department to collect garbage.
Watching his back disappear behind a pine tree, Zhang Feiyang's gaze did not retract, but continued to look at a plum tree behind the pine tree, farther away.
His mind had already drifted to the plum tree.
Zhou Zhou Xian had told him that behind the plum tree was the location of the corpse transportation department, one of the six divisions of the main gate.
