In the city.
Wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, Wei Feng looks like a poor young man who is busy trying to survive and has to hurry on this rainy day.
He personally witnessed the scene where Bai Jianxing captured Zhu Mingkui, but after the power of the soul was isolated, his rain could not detect Zhu Mingkui's physiological state.
He didn't know what kind of power it was that cut off most of his rain perception, but since it could cut off the rain perception, it stands to reason that it could also cut off Zhu Mingkui.
Of the ten female celebrities, he helped seven of them escape from the control, two died because Zhu Mingkui used skills to transfer their injuries, and the last one was left.
It stands to reason that when Zhu Mingkui was captured, she would either lose control or carry out Zhu Mingkui's last order, but this was not the case.
In his perception, the last remaining female celebrity suddenly changed her movement trajectory and became much more agile, heading west of the city. She was full of vigilance along the way and would look back from time to time to see if anyone was following her.
Before, whether Zhu Mingkui was escaping or fighting, he always led the Bai family to the east of the city. At this time, the female celebrity puppet was sneaking towards the west. It didn't take much to guess that there must be something fishy in it.
Wei Feng was hanging two blocks behind her. With the talent of Demonic Mist and Rain, it was almost impossible for him to be found following people.
The female red doll walked around in a dilapidated courtyard in the west of the city, and knelt down in front of a pale young man. The man put his hand on the female red doll's head and injected some more magic power into it.
This young man is Zhu Mingkui, to be precise, he is his natal doll. Before he decided to self-destruct, he activated his life-saving secret technique and allowed himself to be reincarnated into his natal doll.
This is why he is already at level 20 and has gained a lot of skill points, but his core skills are so weak. He has allocated all his skill points to skills such as hidden breath, scapegoat doll, and doll reincarnation. Otherwise, how could he compete with Bai Shangwu fought head-on.
He is now extremely weak and has no ability to make new dolls in a short period of time, so he must keep the only remaining doll, re-inject her magic power, and extend the control time, which is very useful for pathfinding and investigation. .
Zhu Mingkui retracted his hand weakly. This natal puppet was his last trump card. After being reincarnated into the natal puppet, the level needs to be upgraded again. The original skills are in a blocked state. Before returning to L20, he will no longer gain skill points.
When he thought that he had not been able to kill Bai Shangwu until his death, he gritted his teeth with hatred, but when he thought about the state in which Bai Jianxing controlled him in the end, he couldn't help but shudder, feeling like he was isolated from the world. , so scary.
When his emotions calmed down, he began to rethink his life after reincarnation. This body was just an ordinary person, and he needed to practice cultivation from scratch. The medicinal materials needed for body refining alone were enough for him to worry about.
But when he comes back this time, he will not make the mistakes he made in his previous life. He will definitely polish his time in the cave realm this time and have a career by his side. One day, he will have the opportunity to take revenge on the Bai family, for sure!
Thinking of this, his face full of hatred finally gave way to a relieved smile.
However, a scream came from nowhere, and the last thing he saw was an arrow shooting into his eye socket. There was no next moment.
At the same time, the last female celebrity doll beside him also fell straight down, no longer alive, and the quiet courtyard fell into silence again.
------------------
Zhiya clothing store.
The shopkeeper looked at the continuous rain and was worried. It was not that there was no business on the rainy day, but that the morning had passed and the boys sent out to look for the female celebrities still hadn't come back to report. He knew very well what this meant. Those women were afraid of being vicious. There is less luck.
The shopkeeper is a good shopkeeper, which is also well-known in the nearby shops. Unlike the current bosses who only care about whether their employees can come to work, he is really worried about the fate of these women.
"Crack."
There was some movement in the backyard, and he was immediately woken up from his trance. He ran to the backyard in three steps and two steps at a time. He was eagerly hoping that the boy came back from the back door. It would be better to bring a false alarm like he was just lost. information.
When he went for a walk in the backyard and found out that the sound was from stones that were thrown from nowhere, he became even more disappointed. He had to sigh and return to the front shop, sit back on the hard bench, and stare at the rain curtain again. .
I don't know how long it took, the shopkeeper came to his senses, sighed deeply again, and planned to find something to do to pass the hard time, but suddenly found that there was an extra card on the cabinet in front of him. He was so distracted when he returned from the backyard that he didn't pay attention to the paper covered with tiny writing.
The handwriting was small and regular, and must have been written by a scholar. He thought to himself, but after seeing the content, he no longer had the intention to think about anything else. In an instant, his eyes became wet, and tears and snot ran down the wrinkled face of his dry face. There were tears on his face, but he didn't care about it. He just murmured in a hoarse voice: "How could this happen? How could this happen..."
He couldn't help but close his eyes, thinking about the group of quiet or fierce female celebrities, thinking about the way they used to make fun of him, thinking about their happy smiles when they received their wages, thinking about the days when they got along in the past, from From now on there will be no more.
When the boy came back, he saw the shopkeeper looking lost. He leaned over with a disappointed look on his face, wanting to tell the shopkeeper that he still couldn't find those women.
Before he could speak, the shopkeeper handed him a piece of water-stained paper and wailed: "Go find their families and collect the bodies." After that, he walked towards the backyard step by step, his back filled with shadows. Feeling powerless, like losing one's soul.
The boy was confused and took the piece of paper. When he saw that it was densely packed with records of whose body was in which alley and where, he felt a little dazed for a moment. The hand holding the paper couldn't stop shaking, but he still He staggered and ran outside the store.
------------------
A little later, the Bai family.
When Bai Jianxing walked out of the meeting hall, it was already approaching evening. The chief steward was already waiting outside the door at some point. When he saw the master of the family coming out, he bowed slightly and said, "Master of the family, a strange thing happened in the city today."
"speak."
"Ten female celebrities from Zhiya Clothing Shop died on the same day. Their corpses were scattered throughout the city. The cause of death was not found for eight of the corpses. The remaining two corpses still had the wounds of the second young master's knife, and their injuries were also a bit weird."
"What's weird?"
"It seems... it seems to be somewhat similar to the moves that the second young master used when fighting with others today..."
Bai Jianxing suddenly turned around and looked at him: "Take me to see those corpses."
"yes."
The big steward seemed to have expected it, and he jumped up and led the way. His speed was actually much faster than Bai Shangwu, who was in the limelight today.
