Chapter 18: Idleness and Sorrow

However, when Xiaoyaozi just closed his eyes, the faint and looming voice just now appeared again.

Hell, what the hell is going on here?

Xiaoyaozi was a little depressed and a little strange, and without thinking too much, he walked to the window with his sword, and jumped on the roof with a force of his feet.

There was silence on the rooftops, nothing. Xiaoyaozi had to go back to the room by herself, shaking her head vigorously, wondering if she was hallucinating just now? Could it be that she had not rested well recently? Or was there something mentally wrong?

Just then, the strange voice reappeared. Xiaoyaozi did not hesitate at all this time, and rushed out of the window and jumped onto the roof with lightning speed. Sure enough, next to the ridge, there seemed to be something dark lying there.

Xiaoyaozi wasn't sure what it was, but he didn't dare to act rashly, so as not to startle the snake.

The cat walked forward, trying not to make a sound, and when he had taken four or five steps forward, he finally saw what the black things were that were plastered to the roof tiles.

With a jet-black body, wings, and fangs on its mouth, what else could it be if it wasn't a vampire bat?

Xiaoyaozi's face twitched, and his body couldn't help but tremble, this vampire bat specializes in picking places with heavier yin qi to live, but this is an inn, people come and go to a typical yang land, how can there be yin qi?

There must be a problem.

Eighty percent of this vampire bat was deliberately instructed by someone, and in martial arts, there is indeed a method that can make people or animals lose their minds and be manipulated by people. These vampire bats are clearly being manipulated, but who is behind them?

Xiaoyaozi slowly walked towards the vampire bat, pulled out his sword suddenly, and quickly stabbed towards the bat.

Without a sound, blood gushed out of the vampire's body, and it didn't take long for the vampire bat to die.

Xiaoyaozi squatted down, wanting to check if there were any clues. It stands to reason that the person who can control these vampire bats must be nearby. Because they can only control vampire bats within a certain range, and if they go beyond that, they can't interfere with these bats.

There was no one around. It can be seen that this person is well hidden, very deep, and a master. Xiaoyaozi also knew that he couldn't find the mastermind behind it, but he still wanted to investigate.

Xiaoyaozi walked a few steps, and when he came to the corpse of the vampire bat, he was surprised to find that there were several shabby cloths that were not next to the vampire bat.

This is the fabric of coarse cloth clothes, Xiaoyaozi's eyes widened and he began to wonder if this cloth could be the clothes of the caster himself?

However, an inconspicuous thing on the side caught Xiaoyaozi's attention.

One finger.

That's right, it's a human finger, as if it had been cut off, as if it had been bitten off by a brute with its fangs, and in any case the cut had been covered in red blood, and it was impossible to distinguish at all.

Xiaoyaozi was shocked in his heart, could it be that someone died nearby? Otherwise, for no reason, whose finger would be gone?

An inexplicable motivation prompted Xiaoyaozi to look for it, and in the dark, he felt that someone might be dead. He was going to find the body of the dead.

A pressure spread all over Xiaoyaozi's body, and then thinking of the bursts of cries for help that he seemed to hear when he was in bed just now, Xiaoyaozi felt that the deceased was likely to be killed by these vampire bats, the corpse would not be far away, it should be nearby, and the spellcaster should also be nearby.

Once you have made up your mind to look for it, you have to observe it carefully.

Xiaoyaozi found a lot of small details, for example, the texture of this coarse cloth, this is not an ordinary coarse cloth, it is a unique coarse cloth in Anling County, Huainan, this kind of cloth is not only strong, but also has good air permeability. Among the coarse cloths, Anling's coarse cloth can be regarded as the best.

And on the eaves on the west side, Xiaoyaozi found two drops of blood.

This blood is not from the free son, nor is it from those dead vampire bats.

There is only one possibility left - the blood is supposed to be the dead.

Xiaoyaozi crouched down and looked under the eaves. This is the backyard of the inn, and the house facing under the eaves is supposed to be a firewood house.

Xiaoyaozi jumped in a dashing manner, crossed a beautiful arc in the air, and then landed firmly on the ground.

On the ground, there are still two drops of blood, judging from the color and adhesion of the bloodstains, the time for these two drops of blood to flow out of the human body should be the same as the two drops on the eaves just now.

That's right, this blood must be that man!

Xiaoyaozi glanced at the surroundings, there were only three rooms in the backyard of the inn, one was the kitchen, one was the firewood room, and one was the door, the door was tightly closed, and it was locked outside, and no one knew what was inside.

Xiaoyaozi followed the blood stains on the ground, came to the edge of the firewood room, pierced the window with his fingers, put one eyeball on it, and looked carefully, carefully and cautiously into the firewood room.

The woodhouse was silent, dark, with no one and no sound, just stacks of wheat straw and firewood cut from the trees.

Xiaoyaozi picked up the sword, gently pushed the door open, took a half step forward, and stepped into the door with one foot.

The door was a little shabby, and when Xiaoyaozi pushed it like this, the door made a creaking sound.

Looking at the tall firewood around her, Xiaoyaozi gently sniffed the surrounding breath. As a killer, this ability is essential.

Soon, Xiaoyaozi caught the smell of blood. He has lived a life of blood on the knife edge all year round, and this smell is very familiar to him.

Xiaoyaozi clenched the sword in his hand, and suddenly overturned the pile of firewood in front of him, and a headless male corpse covered in blood appeared in front of him.

And the coarse cloth clothes on the man's corpse were exactly the same texture as the coarse cloth that Xiaoyaozi found on the roof just now.

If you look closely, you can see that the clothes around the neck of the male corpse are torn, and a small piece is missing. Presumably, this is the origin of the coarse cloth that Xiaoyaozi found on the roof just now.

Looking at the male corpse, Xiaoyaozi was a little puzzled, this man had just died, if it was assumed that he was bitten to death by those vampire bats on the roof, then the cause of the man's death would be there. But how did the man's body come to this firewood room?

And the most incomprehensible thing is where did the man's head go?

Xiaoyaozi began to search all corners of the firewood house, intending to find some clues.

Xiaoyaozi is not the kind of person who likes dogs to meddle with rats, but once Xiaoyaozi intervenes in one thing, that is the rhythm of managing to the end.

However, after looking around, Xiaoyaozi was disappointed, there was no man's head in the firewood room, where did the man's head go? Xiaoyaozi frowned, turned around and walked out of the firewood room.
