"Ornament!"
The notes extended from Ye Qin's feet, shaking away the surrounding fog. Everything seemed to become blurry, but in Lu Ning's perception, it became clearer. This wonderful feeling was not bad.
What Ye Qin uses is not traditional Taoism, nor does she claim to be traditional Taoism. In the process of searching for the ghosts here, she talked a little about her origins - she was regarded as a semi-official person who introduced the arts. Ye Qin's knowledge is mixed, but his talent is outstanding. In addition to his shallow cultivation due to his youth, his understanding of various Taoist arts is far beyond that of his peers. She also really likes music. She combined the strengths of various schools to create her own unique music and rhythm technique. The advantages and disadvantages are also very obvious - it cannot be used against any existing Taoist techniques, and it is difficult to be used by various existing techniques. Against restrictions.
Shui Qingyao was telling the truth. Ye Qin's status as a genius was indeed very convenient, and the semi-official government allowed her to conduct investigations through some convenient channels. However, the scene in the distribution center was obviously as troublesome as it was convenient. So many channels interfered with her investigation, and so far she has not been able to find out exactly where the real problem lies in the scene.
But with her raiding the formation here, it was very convenient for Lu Ning to scrape off some fateful spirits from the ghosts wandering around here. She could sense that Ye Qin's eyes never left her and Yan Zidan - the detective also knew the existence of the murderer and was looking for the murderer's location.
Just after Lu Ning collected the spirit essence of the twentieth ghost, she was finally able to clearly sense the direction of destiny. This feeling is like a kind of "blessed soul". I am extremely confident that I am right, and there is no more doubt at all.
"at……"
Before Lu Ning could point out the direction, a big explosion occurred in one of the three Bali workers in front of him. Flames spurted out from the door, pushing a person and throwing him out of the door.
"Vibrato." Ye Qin flicked his fingertips, and the flames were tightly blocked back into the door by a resting talisman. The body of the person who was thrown out also landed lightly on the ground without any damage, except for a little burn.
That's Xu Tong.
Her hands and arms were covered with purple hard armor, and she held a twisted snake-shaped dagger in her hand, but other than that, she had no other protective gear, and her clothes had some small holes. Fortunately, it was winter. Wearing thicker clothes, most of them were not burned through.
But Xu Tong's expression was obviously a little distorted.
"Bastard thing! Bastard!!!"
She rolled on the ground, stood up immediately, turned around and was about to rush inside, but was blocked by the stop sign, and immediately turned back angrily——
"If you want to go crazy, I won't stop you. Leave the message before leaving." Ye Qin was still so cold, "Or just make it clear, and we might be able to help you. Did the people from Bali Gong attack you?"
"Bali Gong? Maybe, maybe not, but that ghost... no, no, no, no... that was not a lackey raised by Bali Gong. It attacked us intentionally..." Xu Tong covered his forehead and tried his best to keep himself calm. Calm down, "Tian Yang... he, he is dead... impossible, he and I have survived so many difficulties, how could it be... bastard, what happened to that damn ghost!"
Her emotions were slightly confused. Lu Ning thought for a moment and took a few steps forward, trying to see what was going on inside through the extinguishing fire in front of the door.
At that moment, she saw a pair of gloomy "eyes", shining with ghostly flames, making people feel extremely familiar.
Before that, at Zaoyuan Manor, when she followed the two ghosts out of the park surrounded by ghosts in the center of the city, the two ghosts she pulled out from the darkness had the same will-o'-the-wisp eyes!
"It's the murderer! The murderer has also arrived here!" Lu Ning shouted suddenly. This sound also made Ye Qin come to the door immediately, but her eyes just glanced at Lu Ning and immediately disappeared upstairs. , Ye Qin waved his hand to remove the rest at the door, but saw nothing.
"How are you sure it's the murderer?" she asked.
"In Zaoyuanzhuang, we had a fight with the murderer! Although we did not participate, he was definitely one of the fighting parties and later escaped early. I will always remember the ghostly appearance of this guy's men. His whole body was dark, and only his eyes... ...Those eyes that belong to the devil are so special!" Lu Ning said quickly.
"Very good...the murderer has also come to this place. It seems that everything can be solved together."
"What kind of murderer is not a murderer? Do you know that ghost just now?" Xu Tong walked over and his tone became calmer.
"You know our Solitaire game, in which there is a detective and a murderer, and there are two such people in reality. The detective is Ye Qin, who is also the one among us who should be a born Taoist priest, and the murderer... is the one who just attacked you Yes. We have been plotted by him before, that ghost is his ghost, there is nothing wrong with it."
"In that case, is it possible that one of the people who came to Bali Gong is involved?" Xu Tong's voice was cold, "Tian Yang is dead, and it can't be him. Ye Qin, you and Yan Zidan are here, and the rest of them have a chance. .”
"No, if it is just a ghost under my command, then I can do it as long as I am not present and give the order secretly." Ye Qin said lightly, "No one's suspicion can be ruled out, and it is my task as a detective to find the murderer. You just need to concentrate on dealing with it. Just eight miles of work will do.”
"How are we going to deal with this turtle!" Xu Tong gritted his teeth and said, "We searched around inside. There are ghost guards on the fourth floor that we can't defeat, and there isn't much useful information ahead!"
"Don't worry, we already have a solution." Lu Ning comforted, "But you said there isn't much useful information, it seems there is some?"
"Can you find it? Then, make a deal, take me there, and I'll tell you what we found." Xu Tong was very straightforward, "No matter who the murderer or the Bali workers are, no one can escape!"
The anger Xu Tong is showing now is also expected, but now she is asking Lu Ning and others to speak properly. If she is not restrained, I don't know what kind of actions she will take.
"Even if the murderer is here, our primary target is not the murderer. Ye Qin, you know that, right?" Lu Ning said to Ye Qin first, "In any case, Bali Gong is the culprit who caused a lot of problems, and we have to deal with it first. It’s them, this order is certain, right?”
"Not bad." Ye Qin nodded.
"Now we have a way to find it, and the murderer is not necessarily here."
"The murderer must be among us, and there are very few targets that can be suspected now. Maybe you don't know it yet, but many of our classmates have died, and only about half of the remaining people." Ye Qin said, "In this case Under the circumstances, people who have not yet come to Tongfang Town can be eliminated directly, and several people I have contacted before can also be eliminated. The scope of the murderer is already very small for me."
"You seem to be still obsessed with the identity of the murderer."
"...That's right. Now let's prioritize solving the fundamental problems of Tongfang Town. Then, you can lead the way."
Lu Ning let out a breath. Fortunately, Ye Qin was still calm. She looked at Yan Zidan again, and Yan Zidan showed an expression that she would definitely follow him. Lu Ning really couldn't let her client leave like he did when he let Teng Xuan leave before.
"Then please follow me."
Everyone's vehicles were damaged outside a certain range, so the only way to track them was by Lu Ning leading the way. The direction pointed by the saw teeth of fate was very clear. Lu Ning knew the direction he would take almost without thinking. However, this long night that seemed to never end was really a bad environment. After walking more than a hundred meters, Lu Ning felt like he was breathing. It's a little sticky, and the humidity in the air still hasn't completely gone away.
"The water mirror... has indeed been carefully studied before it is used to this extent." Ye Qin casually pulled on his collar, "I think the entire Tongfang Town is covered by a water mirror."
"So... are those people still alive?" Yan Zidan looked happy.
"Do you think what you are here now is the real body or a virtual image?" Ye Qin asked back, "The water mirror can only gain advantage from the target designated by the caster, and the rest is the real body being dragged in."
Mr. Yan's expression was also very gloomy. However, Lu Ning has become more and more aware that she is going to Bali Gong just to find out one question - who is the higher-ranking person behind the scenes, Story Solitaire or Bali Gong?
A hotel with a relatively old-fashioned architectural style is the final location guided by the saw tooth of fate. Brown decoration style, simple parking lot, and slightly old and peeling paint doors, and even automatic doors have not been used. If it were normal, probably no one except some nostalgic people would consider this kind of hotel - after all, there is air conditioning outside the wall. Can't see any external cameras.
But Lu Ning knew it was here.
"Fang Zhijie's line, the last time he came to Tongfang Town was a hotel." Yan Zidan said.
"It's a pity that Fang Zhijie is no longer here." Ye Qin said lightly, "I hope he can work hard to survive in the story."
"We don't have time to care about the people in the story." Xu Tong stared at the hotel, "So, the last location pointed to is here?"
"The position of the fate line has been determined." Lu Ning said.
Xu Tong clenched her fists and pulled out the thin needle again. The tip of the needle extended into a twisted dagger, and her eyes began to flash green in the night - after encountering so many dangers, she had not gained nothing. .
"I know you want to rush in, but please forgive me for saying one more thing, you alone may not be Bali Gong's opponent."
Ye Qin did not stop him, but just said: "Li Ling, Shi Qizhi, Yang Xiao, and Zhong Youwen, the leaders of the four largest projects all have different origins. I have heard the names of these four people more or less in the Taoist world. Head. If Baligong can recruit them, there must be other powerful characters sitting in charge. You are just an ordinary person who temporarily borrows the power of ghost weapons, and you have no strength to fight against them. "
Did Taoist Master Lu Ping and others feel the same way before? Facing the unknown...Have they ever thought that they would die?
Lu Ning didn't know that she was just a little regretful that she didn't spend more time communicating with those upright Taoist priests.
"I understand, let's go in together." Xu Tong nodded, "I know that being reckless will lead to death."
The door of the old hotel also has an old-fashioned lock structure and is not locked. The moment he stepped into the hotel, Lu Ning immediately felt a sense of relief, just like the feeling when he emerged from the water and took a big breath.
"Floating...beautiful." Ye Qin said.
At that moment, the surrounding light even shone to the point of dazzling the eyes. The light in the hotel reception hall suddenly brightened up. Under the bright light, it was a scene like a ghost movie. Bloodstains and corpses were all over the hotel. The guests and hotel receptionists who died tragically fell into a pool of blood. Their deaths were completely inhuman and formed a corner of this bloody horror.
"Hmm!" Mr. Yan immediately made an expression like he wanted to vomit.
"Killing innocent people indiscriminately, for this alone, death is not a pity." Ye Qin glanced around, but did not take action. Lu Ning walked towards the back of the counter. The serrated teeth of fate had very strong guidance, pointing to that place——
Under the counter, there is a book. The cover seemed to be old leather, while bright red flesh was crawling on the inside. Lu Ning first touched the white ring on her hand. It was bright, indicating that it was indeed a special item.
"Ye Qin, look at this book."
"Human skin book?" Ye Qin came over to take a look, "No matter where the cult is, there are similar methods. I am afraid that this book is only placed here to be used as a ritual prop, and it does not have any magic medium. function."
“But the serrations of fate led me to this book.”
"Is that your tool for tracking destiny? Then... you might as well try cutting this book with your scissors." Ye Qin said, "It may be dangerous, but I can't completely guarantee it."
"It doesn't matter, you try to protect me, Yan Zidan, pay attention to your surroundings." Lu Ning didn't care much, took out the scissors and stuck them on the cover of the book. There was a heavier squirming sound in her ears, as if something had crawled into her ear canal. Of course, it was just the echo from the book.
As the scissors slowly closed, Lu Ning seemed to hear the sound of the tide, or maybe the flow of blood. The fate of some living and dead people flowed to the scissors. She used her hands to cut the book.
Red pus spurted out from the breach, and a strong stench was suppressed within a small area by a few notes that Ye Qin quickly pinched. Lu Ning quickly stopped, but the scissors were still covered in pus and blood. As for her and Ye Qin, it was inevitable that their hands would be stained with some plasma.
A strong hatred suddenly welled up in Lu Ning's heart. The death of those people and the hatred of those people, although it was only for a moment and did not even affect her sanity, she already knew something instantly.
The Valley of Seven Colors...the Seven Hells of Hades.
Kurino Shrine...Central Plains Ten Thousand Demon Array.
Huanshishan... a symmetrical world.
Qingfeng Plain...the realm of death lies inside.
The undead who died in these projects are still wandering and roaring in the world, but even this resentment has not been let go by Bali Gong, and they have stayed in this deceived place and turned into resentful souls working for the enemy.
