Someone quietly sneaked into our yard at midnight and checked from room to room. There were people keeping vigil inside and outside Mrs. Xu’s house. The visitor didn't dare to be too obvious, so he hid on the roof and looked down. Yue Ba climbed through the window and hid under the bed.
The sneaky man jumped on the roof of our house, lifted off a tile and looked inside.
Yunzhou slept on the bed and Xiaojiao slept on the couch. I got into Yunzhou's bed before anyone came to lift the tiles. Yunzhou hugged me instantly and muttered "big elbow" in his mouth.
There was another pig's trotter hidden in his arms. He was really carrying the pig's trotter, and he was still thinking about the elbow.
The visitor looked at our room for a while, put the tiles back in their place, and went elsewhere.
At about two o'clock in the middle of the night, four more people sneaked over. The door and window of the room were closed, leaving almost no gaps. The four people had no choice but to jump on the roof and uncover another tile.
They not only peeked, but also used a rope to place something down on the bed.
There is no mosquito net or anything like that in the servants' room, so there is no cover for people to lie on top.
The things they put down can be placed directly on the bed or on us.
The thing gradually lowered and approached me. The target was very clear. I prepared my air shield. When the thing came down, it immediately pressed against my back.
It's like a band-aid with navigation, except I have an air shield and it can't stick to my skin.
The energy generated by my superpower can remain and not dissipate. While forming a shield, it can also be turned into an air net to trap that thing.
The people on the roof didn't notice anything strange, so they put the tiles back and left quietly.
This procedure feels familiar to me. It seems that there were four people outside the door of Good Night Hero's room and they put something inside.
After the four people left, I immediately stood up, wrapped the "sticky" things, lit the lamp and put it under the lamp to look at it, and found that it was a piece of pruned tree bark.
When I saw this thing, I was sure that the four people just now were the ones who put things into Daxia An's room at the inn.
The morning when Daxia An started acting weird, what I saw behind him was this shape.
The bark was cut into the shape of a human, about thirty centimeters high, and the surface was covered with vein-like veins.
This thing was attached to my skin, and Daxia An was wearing clothes. I shouldn't have been able to see it so clearly, but even though it was a dead thing, it was emitting a kind of 'life energy'.
This energy also had lines and clear shapes, so I thought it was very evil at the time.
In the original world, my understanding of the art of witchcraft was not even superficial.
After inheriting the memory of my original body, I learned that there is witchcraft in this world.
But there are very few people who master this technology, and they almost never show up.
A very small number does not mean that it does not exist, so when I saw the dead humanoid thing behind An Daxia, I immediately thought of witchcraft.
Otherwise, how can we explain that he has become a different person after putting this thing on his back, drinking blood, eating raw meat, and his temperament has also changed.
There are no parasites in his body, and no one is poisoned.
I wouldn’t worry about putting such an evil thing anywhere.
So I isolated it with an air mask and carried it on my back.
The human-shaped tree bark behind An Daxia was sucking his energy, and the human-shaped tree bark covered by the 'qi' mask had no effect.
It was like an ornament behind my back, and I put on a cloak to cover it up.
After dawn, the city officials were filled with joy. Wan Shize had been married for many years and had married a bunch of concubines, but could not give birth to a son. Now that he was blessed with a son, the whole city and even the entire Wan clan wanted to celebrate.
Although the son was not born to the first wife, it was still better than having no heirs.
If he couldn't give birth to another son, the strange looks from around him would fall on Wan Shize.
There are a lot of women in the backyard, and even one son is inferior to him. It must have nothing to do with the women.
As soon as Mrs. Xu's son was born, Wan Shize breathed a sigh of relief.
Last night was not a good time to celebrate, but today is a very lively day.
The 'sisters' from every house and courtyard came to congratulate Mrs. Xu, and the gift-givers were almost over the threshold.
Mo Qiwei also came to see the mother and child, and brought supplements for the mother and gifts for the child into the house like water.
She never mentioned the theft in the bedroom last night. The things she threw in the secret room were all evidence of death. However, she looked as usual, said some words of concern and instructions, and left with others.
She was so calm. The owner was not in a hurry, and I, who was destroying evidence, was even less anxious.
It is useless to keep these things. We cannot present them to the king of Tengxue Kingdom at all. We are just outsiders and strangers. If we want to follow the court procedures, we still have to be the cousin of the king. I am afraid that the evidence will be misfired at the initial stage. Destroyed.
This kind of thing has happened before. The original person has read the case files from various countries. It is simply impossible for Jianghu people to bring down the royal family and nobles through formal channels. There is only one way, which is assassination.
After the killing, you will have to bear the consequences of being chased by the court masters and Jianghu killers.
Jianghu people are not stupid either. If they want to kill an important person, they should try to make it as secretive as possible so that they can't trace the murderer if they want to.
These big shots will not leave them a chance, so they have many experts around them, including bodyguards, secret guards, and shadow guards, who follow them around the clock.
For example, the one next to Wan Shize is definitely a master who can fight one against a hundred.
The ones in Mo Qiwei's courtyard are much different. She has such great power in Feng Province. It is said that the defense level around her should be higher than that of Wan Shize. Even if it cannot be exceeded openly, it can be surpassed secretly.
Could it be that she still has a trump card?
Reminiscent of the four people who put down tree bark last night, I didn't see anyone with that thing behind them in this house. They were clearly heading towards me.
I have no other enemies in this house, unless Mo Qiwei finds out that I am Daxia An.
Regardless of whether it is new hatred or old hatred, there is no one else but her who has killed me.
Assuming that she sent those four people, and she didn't know that I was Daxia An, and mistakenly took the fake Daxia An as the real one, so she sent people to harm him, then she just wanted to repeat her old tricks last night.
If I turned into a blood-drinking, flesh-eating monster, that would be more terrifying than offending the princess. She would have every reason to beat me to death, because I live in Mrs. Xu's courtyard.
What if I guess cannibalism...
Could she be hoping to kill two birds with one stone?
Let me eat Mrs. Xu?
Various conjectures cannot be confirmed. The human-shaped bark has no effect on me, and I don’t know what it feels like to stick it on.
But the news about Daxia An's cannibalism spread on this day.
The city government was busy preparing to celebrate the birth of the young master, and the news of Daxia An's cannibalism was spreading outside.
Yueba went out to do something for me, and when he came back, he heard people talking about it.
She made a special trip to Fenglai Inn to confirm the authenticity of this rumor.
She said that people did die in the inn, a few residents, their blood had been sucked dry, and their internal organs had been eviscerated.
The shape of the edge of the wound looks like human tooth marks.
Yuancheng is ruined, and now that Jianghu people commit crimes again, there is no specialized agency to deal with them.
They can only be sent to the government office first, and they will be dealt with according to the rules of ordinary people committing crimes.
An Daxia was arrested and imprisoned. His martial arts skills were average. If a large number of people worked together to round him up, they could subdue him.
Three residents of the inn died. This was no small matter. In the world of ordinary people, killing three people at once was definitely a serious crime.
Someone sets the pace in the city, and Daxia An becomes a fake good guy and a real monster.
The good deeds he did in Huaicheng were suspected of being a conspiracy, and the cannibalism he did in Magnolia City became his new label.
For a time, even if he is released from prison, the people in the city will spontaneously organize to deal with him because they are afraid that he can eat people.
The mastermind behind the scenes must be trying to achieve this goal, turning good people into inhumans. He doesn't need to do anything. He only needs to turn the heroes into street rats. Sooner or later, he will die in the chaos of the "self-protectors".
If Daxia An is in Huaicheng to become famous all over the world and eliminate harm for the people, then 'he' is going to be angry to death.
All the hard work was in vain, and the good reputation accumulated in a few days was wiped out overnight.
Fortunately, I am not punishing the Fu family and his son for the sake of fame, let alone a good reputation.
Everyone scolds Doctor An, what does it have to do with me, Doctor An?
Mrs. Xu had no free time all day, and she went to bed before dinner time when she was tired.
The children couldn't stand the torture, so Wan Shize ordered that no one should be allowed in to disturb the mother and son.
Mrs. Xu told Ma Yao to thank me well.
There were always other people in her room today, and she had no chance to talk to me alone.
Yao Ma came to me holding a wooden box with four gold ingots inside.
I asked Xiaojiao to accept it. This was not only money for the delivery, but also money to protect the lives of mother and son.
The person who placed the bark must hope that I am like An Daxia. Today I will act for everyone to see. I will not eat or drink for a day, saying that I have no appetite for food and want to drink blood and eat raw meat.
No one in Mrs. Xu's courtyard noticed my words or deeds. They were so busy that they were so busy that they could hear me.
In the evening we rested as usual, and Yueba went to Mo Qiwei's place to listen to the wall.
I took a small notebook and calculated how much it would cost to cultivate the Demon Cult's land.
Yue Ba came back in the middle of the night and said that a group of weird people had moved into Mo Qiwei's courtyard.
She didn't dare to get close and only vaguely listened to their conversation. They were not herself, but seemed to be people from overseas.
I praised her for doing a good job. Being prudent was the most important thing. She could try to find out the news, but she must not let herself be exposed.
The night was uneventful until something strange happened in the morning.
The sound of a baby crying could be heard in Mrs. Xu's room, but there was no sound of anyone coaxing him.
The nanny was found long ago. She knows everything about her and is a relative of Yao Ma. She can definitely be trusted.
Yao Ma and the few maids in the courtyard are also loyal to Mrs. Xu, and there should not be a situation where the young master cries and no one listens to him.
I walked out of the room and found Mrs. Xu and the others still alive, with normal life energy, but just sleeping.
The child cried like this and she didn't wake up?
I explored outside the hospital and found a group of people standing not far away. They were standing motionless, neither asleep nor sick.
There are several masters among them who are not weak. If they work together and I don't have special powers, I may not be able to defeat them.
I walked into Mrs. Xu's bedroom, first comforted the young master, and then checked the bodies of several people in the room.
Mrs. Xu, nanny, maid, and mother-in-law are all sleeping.
The wet nurse and the maid slept in the outer room, the mother-in-law stayed in the inner room, and Mrs. Xu slept on the bed. They were not poisoned, but they seemed to have taken something similar to a sedative.
They were in abnormal sleep, and the amount of 'paralyzing' substances secreted by the body itself could not be so high, it was already excessive.
I dissolved the excess sleeping substances for them and patted them awake.
Mrs. Xu was startled when she woke up and saw me in the room. I asked her to do a favor and shout.
She saw the young master sleeping peacefully in the cradle and wondered why I came into the house.
I told her that the young master just kept crying, and everyone in the room was fast asleep, and no one heard him. Someone had drugged them and deliberately made them sleep to death, maybe to do harm to the young master.
Mrs. Xu was shocked, and the nanny quickly picked up the young master and fed him.
The drugs in her body have been cleaned by me and will not affect the young master.
Mrs. Xu was frightened and screamed in cooperation.
Sure enough, those waiting outside the hospital moved.
There was a woman who was knocking on the door outside the courtyard. She just knocked on the door twice and then kicked the door open and barged in.
While running inside, he shouted: "What happened? Mrs. Xu, young master——"
From the sound of her shouting, she seemed to know that someone was killed inside.
Behind her were a group of servants, guards, and the masters.
I laid a "qi" net on the entrance corridor. As long as you step into this courtyard, you will be "qi" wired into your body.
Those experts reacted quickly. If they felt something was wrong, they immediately retreated and retreated outside the threshold.
I closed the door to Mrs. Xu's room and closed the windows tightly.
The people in the courtyard didn't know what was going on in the house. They couldn't move after entering the courtyard. They all fell to the ground and couldn't make a sound.
People outside the hospital could only see them lying on the ground motionless and silent.
But the people outside did not give up. Instead, they beat gongs and drums to attract more people.
They all shouted that something happened to Mrs. Xu and the young master!
With a look of fear that the world would be in chaos, the voice quickly spread throughout the whole government, and everyone who could come came running.
Mo Qiwei and Wan Shize were also among them, and Wan Shize brought the secret guard beside him.
I sent a code to Yue Ba and asked her to go to Mo Qiwei's courtyard to visit again.
This time I put on 'air armor' for her. The surface of her body is protected by a layer of air shield, which makes her invulnerable and invulnerable to tree bark.
I suspect that those weirdos in Mo Qiwei's yard are wizards from overseas.
The Bark Man is their masterpiece.
Everyone in the house came to see the excitement, including the cooks and those who emptied the toilets, but those weirdos didn't show up, and they couldn't show up either. Now was a good opportunity to investigate.
After Yue Ba left, Mrs. Xu's yard was fenced off.
The young master had enough to eat and drink, and I used my powers to soothe him into a deep sleep.
He didn't wake up despite the commotion outside, so some people started to worry, saying that something might have happened to the young master. Otherwise, how could a newborn baby make no sound when hearing such a noisy movement?
I stood at the door and listened to what the people outside were saying.
Mo Qiwei and Wan Shize walked outside the courtyard gate. Surrounded by everyone, they sent someone to shout inside.
Because someone told them that whoever entered the yard would fall to the ground, there must be a mechanism in the yard, and they were told not to come in.
There were a bunch of people lying in the courtyard, which was the best proof.
No matter how many people outside called them, they didn't respond, thinking they were dead.
At this time, Mo Qiwei told Wan Shize that she had previously felt that my origins were unknown and that I should not stay in the house.
But I was too cunning and didn't reveal the truth, and Mrs. Xu trusted me very much, so she insisted on keeping me.
She was worried about the safety of Mrs. Xu and the young master, so she arranged for people to guard outside the hospital. Unexpectedly, it was too late.
