Whether Sun Yixie and Chunkong's actions went smoothly or not is not discussed here for now. Let's talk about it in two parts, and let's go back to earlier that night...that is, at 3:00am.
Huang Donglai followed You Jing out of the Tianqi Gang's headquarters and went straight to the No-Return Building.
At this point, there were not many pedestrians on the street. The two of them walked along without encountering anyone or anything.
On the way, Huang Donglai wanted to chat with You Jing several times, but the other party only used perfunctory or covert methods such as "um", "yeah", and "I don't know" to deal with him.
Huang Donglai understood that You Jing should be the kind of person who is impenetrable and extremely good at keeping secrets. It would be impossible to extract information from him using conventional methods; of course, he didn't think so in the first place. It would be so easy...
When Sun and Huang made the plan, they had already speculated that the Lord would probably send someone to take Huang Donglai somewhere tonight and drug Huang Donglai in the name of getting medicine or treatment. However, they did not expect that the place they were going to would be unknown. When they returned to the building, they didn't expect that the person leading the way would be You Jing.
But now that the matter has come to this, Huang Donglai can only adapt to circumstances.
Not long after, Huang Donglai followed You Jingxing to the door of No Return Building.
As mentioned before, this restaurant is only doing good business at night. Although the martial arts heroes who participated in the Heroes Banquet tonight are unable to come to patronize, there is still more than 50% occupancy rate in the lobby on the first floor at this moment.
Fortunately, Huang Donglai and You Jing were not eye-catching to begin with, and people who were not involved in the world didn't know Huang Donglai, so when they walked through the lobby and walked up to the second floor, not many people paid attention to them.
After arriving at the "Zhixian Pavilion" on the second floor, Xue Tui would not come out to greet the guests without being informed, let alone Yuan Fangzhi and Zhang Ergui from the kitchen.
Therefore, You Jing led Huang Donglai and went directly to the "Si Hui Ju" on the third floor.
Why give this layer this name? Quite simply, it was Gu Qiying reminding herself that what she was doing was ultimately dirty, and it was the most vicious deed that people in the world despised.
"Voodoo" is not the same as using poison. The purpose of using poison is just to kill or injure people. This is actually the same as using martial arts or hidden weapons to injure people. However, "Voodoo" is different. It is to make people unable to wish for life, unable to wish for death, life is worse than death, and they cannot die well... It is really against humanity.
To put it metaphorically, one is similar to using weapons to kill enemy soldiers in war, and the other is similar to using extremely cruel methods to torture prisoners of war to death.
Bai Ruhong is a living example. Even if a person like him is defeated one day and falls into the hands of his enemy, the other party will just kill him with one sword or stab him a few more times to vent his anger; but now he is tortured into With that kind of look, even a member of the evil sect... wouldn't be able to do something like this.
Of course, Gu Qiying and Shen Youran were able to do such a thing just because they kept holding the banner of "revenge" and slowly turned it into something similar to faith. Therefore, without knowing it, While sleeping, they convinced themselves and gradually felt that they could do whatever they wanted...
And the name of "Si Hui Ju" is just a formality, just like the emperor's edict to sin on himself, to deceive his own conscience and show it to others by the way, it seems that he has really admitted his mistake. , and it seems as if a corresponding price has been paid.
"Brother You, why is it so dark here?" Huang Donglai asked this question immediately after reaching the third floor.
But at the same time, he also understood why You Jing asked him not to put down the lantern in his hand after entering the No Return Building.
"This is the master's arrangement." You Jing did not explain the specific purpose, just this sentence was enough; after saying this, he immediately changed the subject, "Mr. Huang, I will get you medicine, you are here Wait here for a moment.”
"Ah, okay, you go." Huang Donglai agreed casually.
You Jing glanced at him again, then turned around and walked deeper into the third floor.
Because he and Huang Donglai each took a lantern in their hands when they went out, Huang Donglai still had something to light up after he left. Otherwise, in this place in the middle of the night, he would really not be able to see anything.
But actually...it's useless to see it.
The layout of the third floor is mainly divided into three areas: the first area is the area after coming up from the stairs. It is basically an empty buffer space with nothing, not even a place to sit. Huang Donglai is here I'll stand here for a while.
The second area is the boss, Gu Qiying's room. The door of that room is on the edge of the first area. Gu Qiying is not here at the moment, so the door is naturally closed; and what is in that room? ...Even You Jing is not very clear, because when he usually goes in to deliver food and fill the chamber pot, he always rushes in and out, does not stay too much, and does not dare to look around.
The third area, which is also the largest group of spaces on the third floor, is connected by a corridor in the corner of the first area; walk along that path and bypass the master room, and there are several larger rooms behind it. There is a room filled with various materials and tools needed for refining Gu. There are also two rooms similar to "laboratories". One is heated by a stove all year round, and the other is kept cold with thousands of years of ice.
What You Jing was going to go to at this time was a warehouse containing various finished Gus; the "Baishun Pill" Gu Qiying ordered him to give Huang Donglai to eat was actually called "Baishun Gu". After being infected by the Gu, Specific antidotes must be taken regularly, otherwise you will suffer from the worms that eat your heart.
The effect of this kind of Gu is not as powerful as the Bliss Gu, and the finished product is a pill that looks very big, and the taste is very strong. Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that anyone would take it voluntarily, but now "Give Huang Dong" is used to treat it. In the name of "physical abnormality", it was natural for him to eat it.
Not long after, You Jing came back with a palm-sized white porcelain medicine bottle. Huang Donglai was still standing there, seemingly not taking a step away.
"Master Huang, the medicine has been obtained." You Jing said and handed over the medicine bottle.
Huang Donglai casually took the medicine bottle, opened the mouth of the bottle and poured out one pill, then came closer to smell it: "Fuck! Fuck!"
He suddenly cursed loudly, which startled You Jing.
"What does this smell like? It's fishy and strong. You can't even mix it with garlic, right?" Huang Donglai said, shaking his head, "No, no, no... Such a big pill, and it's... It tastes like this and I definitely won’t be able to swallow it dry, and I might choke to death.”
"Uh..." When You Jing heard this, he felt that this was reasonable. Not to mention Huang Dong's arrival, he felt reluctant to swallow it up, so he continued, "Sorry, it was an oversight. I will go and get the young master a cup of tea right away. .”
Having said this, he wanted to turn around and leave, but he thought it was wrong...
"Wait a minute... Could this kid want to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and then change the medicine when I'm not paying attention?" At this moment, You Jing thought to himself, and stopped unconsciously, not daring to look from Huangdong. The body was removed.
However, nominally speaking, he was ordered to get anti-disease medicine for Huang Donglai, so there was no reason to be on guard against him like this. Furthermore... there was no sign that Huang Donglai was on guard against him; if such an operation caused him to Wouldn't it be self-defeating if it arouses the other party's suspicion?
Just when You Jing was hesitating, unexpectedly...
"Hey~ why did you go out of your way to pour it?" Huang Donglai actually took the initiative to help him out, "It's dark here and there's not even a place to sit. Can't we just go down together?"
You Jing thought right, why did I have to let him swallow the medicine here? Besides, I was going downstairs to pour him water.
"Oh! Yes, Mr. Huang is right." Thinking of this, You Jing nodded quickly and took advantage of the donkey path down the slope, "Then... Mr. Huang, please..."
"Okay." Huang Donglai agreed, and then raised his hand to put the medicine bottle into his arms with a very natural movement.
"Hey!" When You Jing saw this, he felt nervous again and couldn't help shouting.
"Huh? What's wrong?" At this second, Huang Donglai's hand had reached halfway, and half of the medicine bottle was already in his lapel. But as soon as he heard You Jing's call, he could not help but feel that the medicine bottle was about to leave his sight. He stopped before.
"This medicine bottle... I'd better hold it for the young master first." You Jing also thought out of a hurry, "Lest the smelly smell get on the young master's clothes."
"Ah? Oh, right." Huang Donglai put on a look of realization, then took out the medicine bottle with disgust and stuffed it back into You Jing's hand, "Yes, yes... come and take it." , when I’m ready to eat later, just give me another one.”
You Jing took the medicine bottle and looked at it carefully. It was indeed the same bottle. Combined with Huang Donglai's reaction, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "It seems that this kid is really unprepared. I am overthinking it." .”
So, You Jing put the medicine bottle in his arms and made a "please" gesture.
Huang Donglai passed in front of him leisurely and walked along the stairs to the second floor, with You Jing following closely behind.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the small reception hall on the second floor.
Huang Dong found a chair and sat down casually, while You Jing ran to pour him tea; the hot water was ready, and You Jing came back within two minutes.
"Sir, the tea has arrived...it's not very hot." You Jing poured Huang Donglai a cup of tea, and at the end he added something that seemed to urge him to take medicine quickly.
Huang Donglai responded: "Oh, okay, Brother You, you can sit down too."
"No, no, you are just a servant... it's appropriate to stand." Although You Jing's martial arts is much higher than Huang Donglai's, he did not do anything arrogant and his attitude was still polite. After all, he learned from his master The order Bian received was just to drug Huang Donglai, not to fall out and silence him.
"It's okay, it's just you and me now. Besides, we all work for the Lord. If you stand and I sit, how uncomfortable would I be?" Huang Dong said, showing a rather cordial attitude. "Hey, Brother You, if you don't sit down, then I can stand up..."
"You can't help but... I'll just sit down." You Jing could only sit down now, but it wasn't a good sit - he only sat on half a stool, and his upper body was stretched straight, so he didn't dare He leaned back in his chair as if he wanted to get up at any moment.
During the next period of waiting for the tea to cool down, there was no conversation between the two, which was a little awkward.
However, the silence did not last long. Huang Donglai finally spoke first: "Brother You, it's almost time. Give me the medicine."
"Okay." You Jing responded, and immediately reached for the medicine in his arms, and then...
"Hiss-" When he put his hand into his arms, You Jing's hand suddenly felt a stinging pain. However, as a martial arts practitioner, he could still endure this level of pain, so he endured it. Pain took out the medicine bottle.
At this time, You Jing realized that the color of the bottle had changed. It was a white porcelain bottle, but now it had turned gray-brown, and the area where he felt pain on his hand was also stained with this color.
He looked down again and saw that no... the color had already partially dyed through his coat, and it was located near his heart.
"Well -" At this moment, he realized belatedly that his heart seemed to hurt a little...
"What's wrong? Brother You, do you feel a little out of breath?" Huang Donglai was very careful. When he asked this question, he had already stood up from the chair and took a few steps back, away from You Jing.
"You!" You Jing knew that he had fallen into a trap, so he rushed to use his inner strength to seal the acupuncture point at his heart.
However...he was unlucky, and when he was lucky, his heart stopped beating.
In less than a minute, You Jing fell to the ground and died.
Huang Donglai looked at the other party's body and snorted coldly, muttering to himself: "Play poison with me... ha... just you?"
…………
It didn't take Huang Donglai much time to move You Jing's body back to the third floor. After all, Brother Huang just couldn't use his internal strength, and the strength of a martial arts practitioner was still there.
After laying out the body, Huang Donglai first disposed of the poisoned bottle, and then searched You Jing's body. As a result... except for a soft sword hidden on his waist, he turned out to be... Nothing was found - not even a key.
This is very strange...
Huang Donglai knew that the boss of Bugui Building, that is, the Lord, lived in the "Si Hui Ju" on the third floor. On the night when he and Sun Yixie came for dinner, they had already learned about this in their chat with Xue Tui. After all, it was not a secret, and many people in the city knew it.
However, as a confidant who delivers meals to the boss every day, You Jing does not have the key to any room on the third floor, which is obviously abnormal; even if the boss has the key to the room on his person, the keys to other rooms are not with him. Jing must have it, otherwise how could he have opened the door when he went to the back room to get the medicine just now?
Huang Donglai would not ignore an anomaly like this. He and Sun Yixie are both extremely cautious people...especially when they are involved in danger, their shrewdness and prudence will instantly increase by several levels. .
Huang Donglai stood there thinking for a moment, then picked up the sword on You Jing's waist and cut off one of You Jing's hands cleanly. After the excess blood on that hand had almost stopped bleeding, Huang Donglai used Taking You Jing's hand with his own, he gently pushed the door of the Lord's room.
At this time, Huang Donglai didn't know that this room was the Lord's room because no one had told him. It was just because the door of this room was the first one he could see after stepping onto the third floor, so he tried it from this room. rise.
squeak - squeak -
The wooden door panel was slowly pushed open, and there was a disturbing sound in the darkness.
This door is not locked at all.
Huang Donglai reacted very quickly. After he found that the door was unlocked, his first action was to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeves; this... can also be said to be the basic accomplishment of a person who comes from a poisonous family.
You have arrived at a place where valuable things should be kept, but the entrance to this place is not hidden and completely unguarded. Why is that? There are only two possibilities. First, the owner here is mentally retarded; second, it is actually "guarded", but you can't see it.
At this moment, Huang Donglai glanced inside the door with the light of the lantern. When he saw a lit incense burner in the corner of the room emitting wisps of green smoke, he immediately confirmed that this was an anti-theft measure. , at least one of them.
Thinking of this, he covered his mouth and nose and quickly walked into the room, extinguished the incense burner, and then quickly exited the room, leaving the door open.
After doing this, Huang Donglai did not wait for the smell in the room to dissipate. Instead, he turned to the corridor next to him and walked towards the warehouses in the direction You Jingqi went...
