At the beginning of autumn, the weather was relatively dry. There was water dripping in the ventilated living room. This phenomenon was very abnormal!
A Tian gently touched the back of his ear, then raised his head and looked at the top of the beam.
In an instant, he showed a look of horror. He stood there blankly, his lips were trembling, and his voice became slurred when he spoke!
"Ah...luck! Come on! There is...a situation above."
Li Huaiyun took back the foot he had just taken and looked up towards the roof. The pillar on top of the beam was entangled with a large piece of wet black hair.
Different from the water prison, these long black hair have always been in a still state and have not twisted.
"Danger! Let's leave quickly! Go and report to the hall master!" A Tian clenched his sword and shouted in horror. He didn't want to be injured again!
Li Huaiyun grabbed A Tian who was about to run out. His expression was calm and he kept staring at the long black hair wrapped around the pillar.
"Don't panic yet! There's nothing happening with this hair right now!"
"Just in case!"
"If you want to take action, we will do it when we come in to search! We won't wait until now!"
"Did the hair that disappeared in the water prison come here?"
Li Huaiyun shook his head, "I don't know. This thing is now wrapped around the beams and pillars of the house, and there is no movement. I feel like something is needed to make it move! It's like those Yin magicians who control dead bodies!"
After hearing this explanation, A Tian calmed down. With sharp eyes, he raised his hand and pointed to the north corner of the beam, "Look, there is something hanging there!"
Li Huaiyun took a closer look and saw a tuft of black hair the size of a finger. One end was tied up with a rope and was hanging in the north corner!
The strange thing is that there is no wind in the whole room, but the black hair hanging there is floating gently, as if waving. The phenomenon is extremely strange.
This weird scene made the two of them break into cold sweat and wanted to leave the house immediately.
Li Huaiyun frowned and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you take off that bunch of hair and take a look."
A Tian shook his head and did not agree with that. Although the hair was not moving at the moment, there was no guarantee that it would suddenly attack. "You must inform the hall master first! I'm worried that it will be the same as in the water prison."
"That's too troublesome. If you come back again and again, you might let this thing slip away. You can't just watch the clues disappear."
"Having said that, brother, I'm worried that it will be quite dangerous."
"We are members of the Demon Slayer Division and should not be afraid of these monsters."
Li Huaiyun could clearly feel that A Tian had become a little timid. He speculated that it was the incident in the water prison that had him still in shock.
"A Tian, give me the knife, and then go out. As soon as you find something is wrong, report it to the hall master immediately."
"When you come back, it will be too late. Stop trying so hard! The hall master is right, our cultivation level is too low to deal with this thing."
Li Huaiyun took a deep breath, "You have to try even if you can't deal with it!"
A Tian only wanted to return to the yard safely. No matter how he tried to dissuade Li Huaiyun, it was useless! He had no choice but to take out the saber and hand it over.
"Be careful!" He carefully exited the living room.
Li Huaiyun took the saber, then stood at the corner and lowered it, adjusted the angle, and threw the saber upwards. With his precise calculation, the saber just cut the rope hanging the black hair.
The lock of black hair fell slowly from the roof. What made people feel strange was that during the fall, water was constantly being thrown out of the hair.
Li Huaiyun took two steps back, blocked the water droplets with his hands, and then caught the fallen saber. He stood aside and watched the bunch of hair fall smoothly to the ground.
"Go on!" He threw the saber back to A Tian, then squatted down, put on the brass gloves, and began to pull the hair.
What disappointed him was that there was nothing special about rubbing his hair except that it was moist.
Li Huaiyun stood up, took a few pieces of paper from the table, and prepared to wrap his black hair in the paper, "Take it back and show it to Sikyong. Maybe you can know the origin of this hair?"
Seeing that there was no danger, A Tian walked up and said, "Why don't we send him back now?"
"There are other places we haven't checked yet!" Li Huaiyun said, having just found so few clues now! We are still far away from the truth. It is a waste of time to go back casually.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the side of the door, and the two of them noticed a different aura almost at the same time.
"Who!" They looked towards the door and saw a mysterious man wearing a black robe, his face hidden in a hood, standing quietly by the door.
The mysterious man in black robe slowly walked into the living room. The long and narrow figure reflected on the ground slowly split from the middle and turned into two shadows.
Li Huaiyun and A Tian realized the danger and immediately took up their positions, ready to take action at any time!
"Who are you? Why are you here!"
The mysterious man wearing a black robe, with his entire face hidden under the hood, did not respond to him, but walked straight forward.
The black shadow on the ground had reached their feet.
"Stop! If you move forward, I'm going to take action!"
The mysterious man still kept trying to dissuade them and walked toward them. Li Huaiyun and A Tian were ready to take action, but found that they were completely unable to move at this time.
Although they could feel their bodies, no matter how hard they tried, their bodies remained motionless.
The mysterious man stood in front of Li Huaiyun, stretched out his dark arms, took away the paper containing his hair, and then turned around to leave, seemingly not interested in them.
When the shadow left Li Huaiyun's feet, at that moment, he felt that the restraints on his body were released.
"Give that thing back to me!" He activated his energy and prepared to attack the mysterious man at the door of the living room.
What he didn't expect was that the man in black robe just raised a finger, and several cracks immediately appeared on the floor in the living room.
A large number of arms stretched out from the dark gap. Those arms were mixed with black soil and were incomplete, and the flesh on them was also black and rotten.
Li Huaiyun and A Tian's feet were grabbed by those arms and unable to move. In desperation, he punched the ground directly. Although several arms were broken, there were still arms holding his feet, allowing him to move forward with difficulty. .
Who is this guy? He has this strange ability.
He bent down and repeatedly used his fists to knock the arms off his legs. This conservative behavior only made him watch the man in black robe disappear into the courtyard.
A Tian drew his saber and cut off the arms that emerged from the ground. He escaped first. He stepped forward to help Li Huaiyun escape. .
"Good luck! Are you okay?"
"Damn it! What is going on?" Li Huaiyun stood at the door and cursed loudly towards the courtyard.
When they turned to look at the house, they found that the cracks on the ground were no longer there, only the wet water stains.
This scene surprised the two of them.
Li Huaiyun held the token in his hand, and then he quickly said to A Tian, "That guy must not be far away. I will chase him. I leave this place to you. Hurry up and contact Sikyong."
"good!"
Having said this, he immediately jumped onto the wall with a quick stride, observed the surrounding streets, and then ran towards a narrow alley to the north.
When he came to the north, he was in the narrow and smelly alley.
He judged that the mysterious man in black robe must be hiding here, and there were many passers-by walking around in other alleys.
The situation in this small alley is relatively complicated. The area around here is full of garbage and discarded items. The smell mixed with various smells makes people sick.
Li Huaiyun looked around. The floor and walls of the alley were quite old, the skin on them was torn, and the walls were also quite unclean.
That guy must be around here! He stood in the alley, clenching his hands into fists, always paying attention to the surrounding situation. Judging from the previous situation, this man in black robe always appeared mysteriously, so it must be the same here.
The sun was shining brightly at this time, and his shadow was stretched bit by bit in the alley.
Li Huaiyun continued walking deeper into the alley. He felt that the surroundings were particularly quiet, as if he had entered a silent world.
At that moment, he leaned over, picked up the stone from the ground, and threw it towards the wall on one side, "Show up! I already know where you are!"
"Haha!" A cold voice came from over there, and under a five- to six-meter-tall willow tree, a black figure appeared there.
"You can feel such weak energy fluctuations. You must have had a long time to hone your perception when you stepped into the Qi Refining Mirror."
"Most people seldom exercise because it wastes a lot of time,"
"You know quite a bit! I just thought you were praising me! Who are you?"
"Hahaha!" The man in black robe let out a dull laugh, "Are all the people in your Demon Slaying Department idiots? Why should I answer your question?"
Li Huaiyun raised his lips, "Because I'm about to die, and you won't lose anything by telling the dying person your secret!"
The man in black robe stood there, stunned for a moment. Li Huaiyun's words made him a little overwhelmed. He had never seen him say that he was going to die and asked people to tell the secret quickly! .
"You want to trick me? I'm not that stupid!"
Why! Failed! It seems that this really can’t fool anyone.
"How dare I lie to you!" Li Huaiyun said, "When we were in the living room, you obviously could kill us, but you didn't do it. Now that I'm chasing you here, aren't you just looking for death?"
"Then do you regret it?"
"I regret it! However, if I knew your identity and what happened in the water prison case, I would really die in peace."
The reason why Li Huaiyun said this was because he could no longer move at this time. After entering this alley, he vaguely felt something was wrong.
After throwing the stone, my whole body suddenly seemed to be trapped by an invisible rope, exactly like when I was in the living room.
“Shouldn’t we be more honest with dying people?”
The man in black robe took a few steps forward from the shade of the tree. His steps were extremely light. No sound could be heard on such rough ground.
"I won't tell you if I'm honest! Just go down below with your questions and ask those who were burned to death in the fire!"
A black shadow stood up from the ground, and a sharp light could be vaguely seen inside.
"Wait a minute!" Li Huaiyun shouted loudly, "Since you don't tell me anything, you can always let me see what you look like under the black cloth. This is not too much to ask!"
The man in black robe pondered for a moment, "Since you want to see it, then I will fulfill your wish, but don't be scared to death!"
The man took a few steps forward, leaned down, grabbed the hood with both hands, and slowly took off the black cloth covering his head.
It was an extremely terrifying face.
