Fang Du turned around, smiled at the people in the inn, turned around and walked back slowly. The cold wind blew, wrapped in yellow sand, and hit the face like a knife. Fang Duan tightened his collar and unconsciously glanced to the right. At this time, not far away, a person wrapped in a half-worn cotton robe walked briskly towards this side with his neck bent. Fang Duan subconsciously stopped and looked at the man a few times.

It seems that he should be a native of Lutai Town, and despite the darkness of the streets, he still walks like a fly, and it seems that he wants to return home in a hurry. Fang Du watched him get closer and closer to him, and somehow, a panic suddenly appeared in his heart. Could this be the "monster" that the innkeeper calls them, and if so, what would he do?

Fang Du became nervous, and a pair of eyes stared at the man, watching him approach him step by step. At this moment, a shocking vision occurred, the man walked in a good manner, without making any movements unrelated to walking, and his head was inexplicably separated from his neck!

"Ahh

Blood gushed out, and the headless torso stood stiffly, and a moment later a gust of wind blew before it fell to the ground with a "clang". The dark red blood with the body temperature flowed freely, mixed with the yellow sand, twisting and bending, leaving a terrible trace.

The man's head was still in mid-air, and he still maintained the expression he had when he walked, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resisting the wind and sand. His lips turned blue from the rapid blood loss and cold. Fang Du was stunned, there were no suspicious people around the head or corpse in the dark, and there was no weapon that was enough to cut off the head of a living person in an instant, this was too incredible!

"Don't go over!" Mi Zhou saw that Fang Du wanted to go over, and immediately stopped him and said, "I suspect that there are other wizards nearby, and this is the first time I've seen such a thing." If it weren't for someone who had reached a certain level, he could take a person to a thousand miles away, and only witchcraft could explain what was happening now!"

Fang Du looked at the dead head, thoughtful. Rong Yue and Mo Xuanji walked out boldly, and when they saw the dead body lying to the ground, but the head was hanging in the air, they shook in unison. At this moment, the blood-dripping head suddenly flew upwards and disappeared into the night!

"My God, what happened just now, I'm not dazzled, right?" Mo Xuanji rubbed his eyes vigorously, if it weren't for the corpse still with body temperature falling to the ground, he would think he was dreaming. Fang Du walked over, squatted down to check the wound on the corpse's neck, and Li Qingxue stood beside him with an oil lamp intimately.

The skin and flesh of the severed place were flat, and even the severed neck bone was very neat, as if it had been cut down with a sharp blade with great speed and force without hesitation.

Except for Fang Dui's accident, everyone else was standing at the door of the inn, and the moment it happened, they almost didn't have time to react, so they couldn't see it very clearly. Zhan Xingran asked, "Fang Duan, do you see clearly, what kind of hand did it use and what weapon did it use?"

Fang Du shook his head, "When this person appeared, I had a very bad feeling, so I kept staring at that person. He walked over from there, and without even warning, his head left his body!" Fang Dui tried to calm his narrative so as not to scare everyone. Mi Zhou said, "No, the person covered in blood just now also came from over there, but he is fine." Fang Du immediately said, "I'm bothering the two senior sisters to find more candle torches, I think there may be traces around!"

The tattered bedding in the inn was tied to a wooden stick and dipped in oil to make a torch. Each of them had one each, centered on the corpse, and searched for all suspicious things and traces within a radius of one zhang.

Everyone was busy, but they couldn't find anything. Sima Lu teased, "I always say that the realm of heaven and man is something, I think if there is really a murderer, he is the one who has reached the realm of heaven and man." Kill people in the street, take away heads, and leave no trace!"

Fang Du asked Mi Zhou, "You just said that it may have been done by a wizard, what is going on?" Mi Zhou said, "Wizards do have a kind of witchcraft that can kill people in the invisible without using their own hands. But that doesn't mean there won't be a trace. I just looked at it, and it was true that nothing was left, but I guessed wrong. ”

"Senior Brother Fang, no matter what, it's a human life. It's late at night, and it doesn't seem good to let the corpse fall here, shall we get him to the inn first?" Huaixing couldn't bear it, but Huaiyue said, "Brother, are you crazy, aren't you? We're going to live in the inn, I, I don't want to be with a headless corpse." Besides, if we move the corpse and someone finds it, we will definitely say that we killed him, and we won't be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River at that time!"

Li Qingxue said, "For now, I want to notify the mayor here and let him find the family of the deceased and deal with this matter." Fang Duan said, "Senior sister is right, but it's getting late at this time, and the shops on this street are closed, I'm afraid they don't dare to live here like the innkeeper." We don't know where the mayor's house is, and knocking on doors and asking questions will only alarm more people and make things bigger. It's better to go back to the inn and rest first, and I'll stay and guard the corpse, and then go and inform the mayor when the morning dawns." ”

This is indeed the most appropriate method, Zhan Xingran said, "Fang Duan, you don't have to work hard, the people I brought are just guarding here." Fang Du said, "Everyone has been tired for many days and needs to rest." Don't worry, I'm fine. Rong Yue insisted, "I'm replacing you, I'll keep the first half of the night, and you will keep the second half of the night." ”

At everyone's constant request, Fang Duan had no choice but to return to the inn to catch up on some sleep and replace Rong Yue. He leaned on the bedless bedding, exhausted physically and mentally, and after two yawns, he fell asleep.

Fang Du slept very unsteadily, and kept dreaming. He dreamed of Cong Miao, he dreamed of Qingzhi, and even dreamed of the things that had happened in the palace. Then there was the rush along the way, and he seemed to be still in the carriage, and all the bones in his body were scattered, and then he suddenly saw the headless corpse.

The corpse's hand stretched straight forward, as if trying to tell Fang Du something. Fang Du was anxious and asked loudly, "What do you want to say, is there anyone there, did he hurt you?"
