Although Zhu Jie didn't know what the joint Li Bai was talking about was, she fully understood the urgency of the current situation. As Wu was almost the only fighting force, the remaining people were waiting to be slaughtered when facing those monsters. of lamb.
"you're awake?"
As Jiang Cheng walked into the room, Zhu Jie naturally stayed in the hall outside to do some cleaning work. In fact, he was staring at the movement in another room in the yard, where Dr. Zhou was discussing the next plan with Wang Fugui and Tang Qisheng.
Seeing Jiang Cheng, Li Bai was so excited that he repeated what he had said to Zhu Jie before, and asked Jiang Cheng to get Wu back immediately.
At first, Jiang Cheng was also shocked by what Li Bai said, but after a while he calmed down again, and then looked at Li Bai with a hint of vigilance in his eyes, "You said you are the person appointed by the state to be responsible for connecting with the supporting troops. Then why haven’t I heard Lin Wan’er mention this matter before?”
"This...I don't know about this. Maybe this matter is top secret and I will only tell her when the operation really starts. But when I see Commissioner Lin, she will definitely be able to recognize my identity."
"Okay, since you said it was false that those people couldn't match the code, then tell me, what is the real code you agreed on?" Jiang Cheng asked again.
At this moment, there was a trace of confusion on Li Bai's face, but after a moment, she shook her head decisively, "Sorry, I can't say."
"Why?"
"Because I just woke up, I have no idea what happened here, and I can't tell whether you are real or fake. If the night watchman gets the secret code, then the real King of Jiangcheng, Fugui, will be in danger." Li Bai said firmly, without any discussion. There is no room for it.
"But if you don't say anything, how can you prove the truth of what you said?" The distrust in Jiang Cheng's eyes deepened, and he slowly backed away, "To be honest, I doubt that you are the insider of the Night Watch, otherwise How could it be such a coincidence that you and Yao, Shun, and Yu both fainted, and he was so seriously injured. He went to the barren mountains without anyone to plan to kill Mahakala. He hit you seven inches, right? You want to come and recruit the nest. Instead, let us kill each other!"
Li Bai gritted his teeth, pulled open his clothes, and took out a light blue ribbon, "I also have this thing. It was sent to me by the superiors before the operation started. Jiang Cheng, please believe me, those people are fake!" "
Carefully taking the ribbon, he confirmed that it was the same thing as what Dr. Zhou and the others were wearing, and that the ribbon's number was 026.
While Jiang Cheng was thinking about the ins and outs of the problem, he didn't notice that the flame of the oil lamp in the room seemed to be suppressed by something, and the remaining flame became shaky.
"Huh?" Zhu Jie's disbelieving voice came from the hall outside the door.
"Da da da."
Along with the sound of hurried footsteps, two figures broke in. The fat man rushed to the bedroom, with panic written on his face, "Here he comes! Mahakala is here!"
"What?!"
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel his heart tremble. It was only 9 o'clock, and it was still a long time before midnight.
Then Jiang Cheng looked behind the fat man, and the only one following him was the equally panicked Tang Qisheng, "Where is Dr. Zhou?"
"Dr. Zhou was worried that the bloody smell emanating from the roe deer carcasses in the demolished house would attract evil spirits, so he brought a basin of water to deal with it and told us not to wander around in the house." The fat man had a good impression of Dr. Zhou, who was elegant and easy-going. Very generous.
"Outside...the torch outside is out!" Zhu Jie suddenly reminded.
After a few steps, I walked behind the hall door and looked outside. The originally bright sky was filled with mist. The torches inserted on the door of the courtyard wall were extinguished unknowingly. What was even more frightening was that the paper figures behind the door were also extinguished. They are hiding in the shadows.
Jiang Cheng had a feeling that the paper man might not have been covered by darkness, but might have spread his legs and left quietly.
When Jiang Cheng closed the door and bolted the door, Fatty was stunned, "Dr. Zhou is still outside!"
"Cough...cough...there is no such thing as Dr. Zhou, they are fake!" Li Bai coughed violently in a hurry.
Now Fatty and Tang Qisheng were completely stunned. They didn't come back to their senses for a while, but let him
What surprised them even more was that Jiang Cheng pointed at Li Bai and said, "Tie her up!"
"What the hell is going on?" The fat man has a big head. Why did he disappear for a while? Everything is in chaos.
"hurry up!"
Although they didn't understand what happened, out of trust in Jiang Cheng, Fatty and Tang Qisheng Zhu Jie still carried out the plan. Li Bai did not resist the whole process, but stared out the window with complicated eyes, seeming to be worried about something.
The room was completely quiet, and no one dared to breathe out. When they looked outside through the cracks in the window, they could only see darkness. It was as if the entire yard and even the entire village had disappeared, and the house they were in was in the darkness. The only existence.
This is very close to what Old Man Yao said, but different. There seems to be a lot of things happening here that Jiang Cheng can't understand.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, there was a faint rustling sound outside the door. The sound was very soft, but it was immediately caught. Zhu Jie and Tang Qisheng, who were hiding in the hall, leaned closely on each other, and the ominous atmosphere infected them. everyone.
Until the sound stopped outside the door.
"winter."
"winter."
Someone was knocking on the door very, very softly, and only twice.
"Who?" Jiang Cheng lowered his voice.
"It's me, Dr. Zhou." The voice outside the door was very low and trembling, "Li Bai, where is Li Bai?"
Jiang Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling, "What did you ask her for?"
"Quick, hurry up, before they react, we...we've fallen into a trap!" Dr. Zhou's tone outside was almost crying.
"What's going on?" Jiang Cheng still had no intention of opening the door, and Dr. Zhou outside didn't ask for it, but his next words made Jiang Cheng's whole body go cold. "We were deceived. There's something wrong with that old couple. There's something wrong with them. So they can survive because they are devotees of Mahakala!"
"I found a secret room in the woodshed in the backyard, where the altar of Mahakala was set up. Inside the altar were two headless corpses that were stripped naked and hung up. The two heads were placed one on the left and the other on the right. On the altar table, there are...the two people you brought! Li Bai and Yao, Shun, and Yu!"
"They are dead long ago. They are sacrifices, sacrifices used to summon Mahakala!"
"The two paper figures outside are the paper bodies prepared for them, the boy and girl!"
"Don't... don't alert them. They may be dead before they realize it. Once alerted, they may turn into ghosts and start killing people!"
"You... what you rescued are two dead people!"
