Jiang Chen packed his luggage, went downstairs to check out, and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, have you had any evil spirits here recently?"
The shopkeeper's expression changed: "Who did you listen to?"
Seeing that he had a strange look on his face, Jiang Chen bluffed: "I woke up in the middle of the night last night and suddenly smelled the smell of blood. It made me breathless, so I opened the window to ventilate. Who knew there was something floating outside the window? A woman in green clothes, with bulging eyes, stared straight at me..."
The shopkeeper's face turned blue. As he listened, beads of sweat continued to appear on his forehead.
He forced himself to calm down and interrupted Jiang Chen's words: "Guest, you must be in a trance, right? Our Ping'an Inn has been open for twenty years, and it has always been safe and sound. Not to mention evil spirits, we have never even seen blood! Are you sure I'm dreaming..."
Jiang Chen rolled up his sleeves and showed the blood marks on his arms: "I thought I was dreaming at first, but when I woke up in the morning, I saw wounds like this on my arms..."
A big black cat that was crouching on the counter and taking a nap suddenly raised its head. As if it noticed something unusual, it stood up as if facing an enemy, arched its back and furred, uttered a low bluff at Jiang Chen, and then let out a "meow" , jumped off the counter and ran away.
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, grabbed a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into Jiang Chen's hand. He lowered his voice and said, "Sir, this little trivial thing is considered as compensation for you. Please don't tell anyone about what happened last night!"
"Housekeeper, I don't want money, I just want to find out the truth... If you don't tell me, I won't leave at the gate! I will tell all the guests passing by that this inn is haunted!"
Unable to withstand Jiang Chen's insistence, the shopkeeper finally compromised.
Looking at the blood marks on Jiang Chen's arm, the shopkeeper sighed: "Brother, I won't hide it from you. People around here often have nightmares. When they wake up, there will be traces of scratches on their bodies..."
Jiang Chen asked: "Did you find out the reason later?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and looked at Jiang Chen with a bit of compassion in his eyes: "Those who had nightmares were basically young and middle-aged men. They all disappeared one after another and never appeared again. Some people said, They were captured by female ghosts to marry in the yin world, so they will not return to the yang world again..."
"Yin marriage?" Jiang Chen swallowed his saliva.
Thinking back to the kiss in my dream last night, I suddenly felt it didn't smell good.
"None of those people survived?"
"Sigh, it usually doesn't last more than a day. It can take up to twelve hours before they disappear mysteriously, and even the body can't be found." The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed, "Brother, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, go ahead and do it. Eat when you need to eat, drink when you need to drink, enjoy when you need to enjoy, and don’t leave any regrets..."
Listening to the shopkeeper's tone of urging him to prepare for the funeral, Jiang Chen felt as if ten thousand alpacas were roaring by.
I have many wishes!
Ride the fastest horse, drink the strongest wine, make friends with the most beautiful women... I also want to be a hero that everyone admires, and be the best in the world!
One day is not enough time, how can we not leave any regrets!
The most important thing is that this young man is still a virgin! Both lives!
no! I can't just die in such a daze! You have to think of a way to persuade that female ghost to give up looking for me to be a partner in a secret marriage! I'm really not being modest, girl, you'd better hire someone else!
While it's broad daylight, strike first! Even if it means digging a grave, I will dig out that female ghost's body and expose it to the sun to see if she still dares to take advantage of me!
Jiang Chen was about to seize the moment to take action when he suddenly heard a high-pitched scream coming from upstairs in the inn: "It's dead! It's dead!"
I saw a man running down the stairs, running too fast, and even fell down. He didn't bother to dust himself off, and rushed to the shopkeeper in a panic: "There is, there is a dead person upstairs! "
This person was the boy who came to take over the house. His face was full of fright, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
The shopkeeper also trembled in shock: "Another person died? Where is he?"
"Under the bed!" The boy pointed at Jiang Chen and stammered, "That's the room where he lives!"
"Why is it that one again? Hurry! Go and report to the official!"
As Jiang Chen listened to the conversation between the two, a chill ran through him, his hair stood on end, and he even had goosebumps.
In the room I stayed in last night, was there a dead person under the bed?
I slept with a dead person all night?
So, could it be that the Palace Master of Ten Thousand Demons in my dream last night and the female ghost who wanted to marry me in secret were my "roommates" under the bed...
Jiang Chen subconsciously looked down at the blood marks on his arms, swallowed, hesitated for a moment, and strode towards the stairs.
Now that this "Master of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons" has found him, he wants to see what she looks like.
While it was broad daylight, I had to persuade her to give up her idea.
Jiang Chen returned to the room, knelt down and saw the "roommate" under the bed.
The dead female corpse was bleeding from all the orifices and was not covered with clothes. It looked so miserable that anyone who saw it would sigh.
A good-looking girl was turned into this by some bastard who had killed a thousand people.
Her eyes were wide open, her expression was full of humiliation and unwillingness, and her lips were parted, as if she was accusing something.
Jiang Chen looked at the corpse and gradually frowned.
Not like that.
It was not like the "Master of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons" in his dream.
Jiang Chen vaguely remembered that the "Master of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons" also looked like a beautiful girl, but he was a completely different person from this corpse.
This female corpse is already a rare beauty, but from Jiang Chen's perspective, the "Master of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons" in the dream is even more beautiful than this female corpse - after all, he has been in close contact with her, so he still has this point of view.
Jiang Chen plucked up the courage and carefully inspected the palms of the corpse.
She had no nails.
Then you can't find the blood marks on Jiang Chen's arms.
So the "Master of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons" last night was not this corpse, there was probably someone else...
However, if I kill someone wrong, I won’t spare it. For the sake of my life, why don’t I put her in the sun first?
While Jiang Chen was deep in thought, he suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from behind. When he looked back, he saw that it was the shopkeeper who led the two detectives in.
The two detectives looked at the body first, and their expressions changed drastically.
"It's Miss Dongxue!"
"Who dares to harm Miss Dongxue because of his bravery? She is the most beautiful woman in our Xiliao City, and many heroes and heroes fall in love with her!"
"Look at this half-moon mark on her body!"
"It's the half-moon mark of "Mr. Nong Yue"! "
"Young Master Nong Yue as a dog! This dog thief is known as the leader of the three adulterous thieves. He has defiled countless innocent women and made Xiliao City restless. Now he even dares to bully Miss Dongxue! You beast! Worse than a beast!"
Jiang Chen listened to the conversation between the two detectives. While he gradually lost his suspicion about the corpse, he also hated the "Mr. Nongyue" they called him.
The nickname "Mr. Nongyue" sounds quite elegant, but what he did was all immoral. Such a big lecher should have been caught and beheaded long ago to eliminate harm for the people!
It's a pity that Miss Dongxue died at the hands of a thief when she was in her golden years...
It's also pitiful that this young hero spent the whole night with corpses when he came to Xiliao City for the first time...
While thinking about it, Jiang Chen's heart moved and he found something strange in it——
Mr. Nongyue left a half-moon mark on the corpse, which was extremely arrogant. It showed that he didn't care about the exposure of his crime at all. Why did he go to the trouble of hiding the corpse under the bed?
When the innkeeper closes the room, he will definitely clean the room again. Logically speaking, the body should have been found yesterday...
