Peng Morong walked towards the warehouse to the west.
It is generally used to store overproduced agricultural products, and some are the private treasury of the Herman and Turner families. The warehouse area is not small, but people from the town generally don't come here often, even at times like this.
A small number of people guard this place as warehouse managers. They usually only need to guard a few entrances and exits. They occasionally patrol, so the security is not too tight.
This gave Peng Morong great convenience. He bypassed the exit and quickly climbed over the surrounding low wall, frowning slightly when he landed.
"It's a bit inconvenient..."
Just when he was about to go in and find Fujii Yukine, footsteps came from around the corner.
"who?"
"You are indeed a demon... Peng Morong."
Peng Morong looked at the shadows between the tall warehouses with a wary expression, and raised his right hand in a defensive posture.
"Your left arm hasn't grown back yet? It seems like your recovery power isn't that strong. If you go to Fujii Yukine in this state, aren't you afraid of being counterattacked?"
A long and slender hand like a dead bone emerged from the shadow. The wrist twisted and the index finger pointed at Peng Morong.
"It turns out to be another demon... Humph." Seeing this hand, Peng Morong felt a little relieved, and then sneered disdainfully, "Your reckless actions have caused a lot of demon intelligence to be exposed. Now we don't want to kill you to get the information." The most perfect Fujii Yukine, everything will be over when she comes back!"
"Yes, she has now mastered the identities of at least four demons, including you." The voice in the shadow chuckled, "Feng Hui asked you to protect her, right? Then she should have met Feng Hui We have met, I think she has ruled out the possibility of him being a demon in that one-on-one meeting, so she has locked you in. Now you go over, there is a trap waiting for you. "
"Who...are you?"
"We all have to keep our identities secret, right? I already know the identities of the five demons, but that's because I am also a demon. Is it possible that you haven't tested the other tourists these days?"
Peng Morong still looked arrogant: "What's the use of asking about that? Based on your actions at the lakeside cabin the next night, what qualifications do you have to discuss cooperation with me?"
As he spoke, his body slowly turned black, and a mask-like substance grew on his face. At the same time, a black film popped up on his neck, quickly turning into the shape of a coat on the surface of his skin.
"Those who don't know how to accumulate advantages cannot win. While you guys were lamely completing the task, I have found the key to evolution. And my innate characteristics are undoubtedly the most suitable for continued development..."
Peng Morong raised his head.
[Tourist Peng Morong, whose identity is a devil.
Ability: Bloodshed (exclusive to Peng Morong), strengthens oneself by absorbing blood, and obtains additional demonic transformation time, which is not limited by night. 】
"Even if I don't rely on you, I can complete the task in fourteen days."
"You really didn't understand the point." The hand slowly retracted, "The point is not how strong you are, but when your identity as a demon is confirmed by Fujii Yukine and you fail to prevent her from letting out the news, There's no way any of us can hide anymore. I don't want to spend the rest of my life trying to evade capture."
"What do you mean?"
"The slowdown is for you to give up your plan to kill Fujii Yukine this time."
"Haha, as you said, she has locked onto my identity as a demon. Do you think I will let her live?"
"Then the second plan must be implemented." The voice suddenly became blurry.
Peng Morong immediately threw out a sharp knife and rushed towards the shadow. At the same time, the transformation of his whole body into a demon was completed, including the left hand that had just been attached and started to move again.
"I haven't used any of my time at night! Can't I kill an ordinary person?"
His speed is indeed fast enough to be proud of, and the power accumulated from secretly killing people and sucking blood in the past few days has made him make great progress. Before the demon in the shadow left, he had already caught up with him and slashed him from the head with his sword. to the chest.
"Um?"
The cut substance split into two pieces like butter touching a hot knife, falling into the shadows and disappearing.
This is not normal... Peng Morong's demon weapon has not made much progress, which means that the opponent who is also a demon can also use the weapon to block it. This makes him realize that the opponent's exclusive ability does not seem to be his own.
"The prophecy is out of line, and the doubting wolf dies in the night. Black and white are reversed, and it is impossible to tell the truth from the false."
A whisper like the approaching death sounded from behind. Peng Morong turned around hastily and really saw the shadow of death.
It was the face of a skull, with dark gold fire burning in the empty eye sockets. The outer edge of the broken cloak turned into fragments and black shadows like liquid, blending into the air. The rugged sharp claws on his left hand had already caught his On his shoulders, and in his right hand is a huge scythe that looks like the black moon coming to the world.
The other party has also become completely demonic!
Peng Morong immediately twisted his body and tried to pierce the blood-sucking bone tubes of his hands into the opponent's body. However, he was only halfway through the action when he found that it was difficult to move his body any further.
Still a shadow.
When he rushed into the shadow, or at the moment when the opponent turned into a shadow and disappeared, a chain-like demon weapon emerged from the shadow cast by the light, and silently bound him in place. .
"We...we are in the same group, aren't we? Why do we kill each other? If we can join forces..." Peng Morong saw that the situation was not good and immediately tried to negotiate with the other party.
"Because you rejected my first offer."
The hand on his shoulder exerted the last force to restrain Peng Morong, and he swung the sickle with his right hand and aimed it at the top of his head.
"You'll get noticed! You can't escape—"
Click!
Black blood spattered from between the two masks, and the sickle cut Peng Morong in half from the top of his head to his crotch without any pressure, not even giving him time to finish his last words.
"There are two purposes. The first is that I need your body to create some more mysteries for mankind. The second is... I just want to loudly announce the fact that the witch is about to return."
The sharp five fingers of the "God of Death" pierced the neck that was split in two and twisted it. The coat that grew from there was completely cut off, and it was inserted into his neck with black blood. Then he pinched Peng Morong's head and started again. Diving into the shadows.
When he emerged from the shadow again, Lu Ning had already appeared on the dark wall.
No one would come to the wall that isolated the cemetery in the west of the town. She maintained her demonic form with one hand and carried Peng Morong's body. She began to change his death state according to her own ideas, while looking at the square of the town in the distance. .
"Countdown, three, two, one."
With the square as the center, several important areas of Baihu Town were lit with fire at the same time, and where the light was generated, shadows naturally appeared. These torture racks gave Lu Ning considerable convenience, and now there is only one unlit position, which she specially set aside for herself.
Lu Ning activated Shadow Leap and moved directly to the cross-shaped wooden platform. Then he pulled off the rope and tied Peng Morong to the shelf, who was pretending to be asleep.
After doing all this, she reached out and pulled off a piece of rope from under Peng Morong's clothes, then turned around and left.
Three minutes later, the townspeople who were checking everywhere because the torture racks began to burn came here. Just when they discovered a man tied to the torture rack from a distance, bright firelight suddenly shone from his seven orifices and body. Starting from the beginning, after finally lighting up Peng Morong's face, the final execution at the stake began.
"It's Peng!"
"Why is he there?"
At this critical juncture, any information related to the witch spread quickly. When Lu Ning sat in the tin-plated jug and ordered mead, the news had already been known to many people.
Fujii Yukine is in trouble now.
Feng Hui knew that Peng Murong went to see Fujii Xueyin alone. On the other hand, under the hint of Lu Ning's previous return to town, Robert should also try to check everyone's room, so the situation in Fujii Xueyin's room would probably be discovered. .
Just like the logic behind their previous trip to the mine, if the two of them were together, the suspicion of the one who survived would be greater. Although Lu Ning does not think that this suspicion induction can make those tourists really think that Fujii Yukine is a demon, but as long as there is suspicion, it will not be so easy to continue to unite.
And in this way, I will have some spare time...
Lu Ning took a sip of the mead and spread out her palm. There was a rusty key lying in it.
The style of this key is quite special. It does not match the style of most houses in the town. The teeth are thick and hourglass-shaped, which must correspond to a large keyhole.
And she actually knows one that fits this size.
The front door of the lake house.
"A door that is unlocked is locked...who would have thought of that?"
Although he was complaining, Lu Ning was very happy now, even a little tipsy.
During the most chaotic times, she just had to stay in the open. As for the entire process of killing Peng Morong, no one witnessed it, so there was no need to worry.
"The guest seems to be in a good mood?" Sierra walked over.
"It's not bad. I saw another side of the town. Although it's not a good side, it also enriched my knowledge." Lu Ning leaned against the bar and talked to Sera with a smile.
"I'm sorry that you saw such a scene." Sierra sighed, "Everyone is usually very nice, but what happened with the mayor is really unacceptable. Everyone respects him."
"Really? How was your mayor chosen?"
"Usually, the previous town mayor appoints it, and then more than half of the town's citizen representatives agree." Serra said.
When Lu Ning was still about to ask further questions, suddenly several men in hunter costumes walked into the tavern, came to the bar and ordered a glass of wine each.
"How many of the inspectors are back?" Sierra greeted.
"Yeah, I'm really exhausted." A hunter said with a sad face, "The guest was burned to death on the stake. There is no way to explain such a thing to his companions. The Turner family took the opportunity to ask everyone to dismantle the stake... …It’s all burnt clean, so what else is left to dismantle!”
"Why did that thing suddenly burn?" Sierra began to serve them wine one by one.
"I don't know! It must have been the witch! She knew we were going to use this to deal with her, so she struck first!" A slightly younger hunter said angrily, "She just has no good intentions! We finally lived a peaceful life... …”
"We won't make that mistake again." The hunter who spoke at the beginning pressed the young man's head, "It's fortunate that what happened today, otherwise everyone would continue to be impulsive."
"So everyone is a little quieter?" Sierra asked.
"It's okay, at least I'm no longer clamoring for the execution of the witch."
Lu Ning shook her head slightly beside her. Now that the situation in the town has stabilized, she will have fewer problems to face when she goes to the lake house tomorrow.
She calculated the time, waited for a while, then paid for the drink and returned to the hotel.
The show is going on.
Xia Xinhe is indeed the most annoying person among tourists. He is the one who shouts the loudest in the restaurant.
"The witnesses are there too! The physical evidence is there too! Why haven't you dealt with that woman yet! Even if we misjudge, it's the same as the devil. This is absolutely guaranteed!"
There were quite a few people in the restaurant, but everyone was watching Xia Xinhe performing at the front like a clown.
"One for one? You can say such a thing." Zhu You, who was sitting by the stove and warming himself, seemed to have just come back and mocked with a sneer on his face, "If we really touch Fujii and she is human, That’s equivalent to hurting yourself, do you really think you’re playing a game?”
"What's going on?" Lu Ning walked in against the wall, sat on the edge of the sofa, and asked Karl sitting here in a low voice.
"This kid is instigating everyone to deal with Fujii Yukine." Karl touched his chin and said with interest, "He is not a demon, but his secret is probably related to Fujii Yukine, otherwise he would not be so targeted to kill him. Kill the other party. Hmm... You actually dare to jump like this when no one else will act rashly. Is it because of my mob status that the devil is too lazy to kill him? "
"I heard that Peng Morong died?"
"Yes, after Feng Hui met Fujii Xueyin, he asked Peng Morong to go see her as a test. Unexpectedly, he was the one who died." Karl glanced at Lu Ning and smiled, "Just asking, Doctor Lu alibi?"
"I heard the news in the tavern. Where are Peng Morong and Fujii Xueyin going to meet?"
"Hahaha, indeed, it is impossible for you to separate from Robert and then quickly understand their location and then go over to snipe."
Xia Xinhe is still continuing his speech, and Fujii Xueyin has not come back, so he has to say everything - but it is just a matter of words.
"You know? After Robert came back, he checked the conditions of each room, and then came back and asked me a question." Karl shook his finger.
"what is the problem?"
"He said... 'Carl, if we were hostile, would you choose to kill me to complete this mission?'"
Lu Ning couldn't help but shook her head after hearing this.
"That's not nice to say, right?"
"No, that's a really hard question to answer. Because both 'yes' and 'no' are wrong answers."
