In order to verify her guess, she decided to take the risk and go out to see what happened. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the door and walked to the corner of the corridor, he was blocked by a familiar figure!

"You! Why are you here?" Mrs. Wu said with a guilty conscience.

The man snorted coldly and smiled gloomily: "Old witch, don't pretend to be stupid in front of me! I saw clearly the scene when you met the leader just now... How do you think I will repay you?"

Mrs. Wu felt a chill in her heart when she heard this. She instinctively took a few steps back and said in a panic: "How dare you! This is the territory of the Yeyou Alliance... You are not afraid of the alliance leader..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a chill on her neck. As soon as she realized what she was doing, she collapsed to the ground. The moment her consciousness dissipated, she saw Lin Quan squatting down and taking away the poison she had placed on her waist...

Outside the temple. Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan, Yan Ruoyu, and Xuanyuan Yin are waiting for the opportunity to sneak into the temple and retrieve the treasure.

"Huh? They seem to be fighting among themselves..." Xuanyuan Yin, who was lying on the wall and casting a spell to peek, suddenly turned around and whispered to the other three people.

"Ah! It's true, Mrs. Wu was killed..." Yan Ruoyu said with a shocked face.

Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan also saw this shocking scene. They stared at the disappearing figure of the murderer and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Qin Chuan suddenly said: "The murderer's back just now looks familiar... It seems... yes, it looks like Lin Quan..."

Su Qiqi was also startled for a moment, and said with some confusion: "I don't know what kind of conflict happened between them... But now it seems that they are really having internal strife, which does give us some convenience..."

Xuanyuan said excitedly: "What a God-given opportunity! Sister Su'er, we just took this opportunity to go in and get the treasure back..."

Su Qiqi nodded, and then whispered: "Let's wait a little longer, there are still a few rooms over there with lights on, there are probably still people awake..."

"Yes." Xuanyuan nodded slightly and continued to look back at one of the candlelit rooms.

A strange silhouette was reflected on the dark window. It looked like two figures, one of whom was twisted into an unimaginable angle!

"Oh my God, can you still live if you are twisted like this?" Yan Ruoyu blurted out as she looked at the silhouette on the window in shock.

"I guess he's dead..." Xuanyuan Yin also looked surprised.

"Let's go over and take a look..." Su Qiqi greeted in a low voice, and the four of them quietly touched the window.

Su Qiqi carefully punctured the window paper and looked inside. I saw an extremely distorted human form appearing in front of me! The face was sunken and the facial features were out of shape, like a bloodthirsty demon, glaring at Su Qiqi and others ferociously!

Su Qiqi gasped and whispered to Qin Chuan and others: "Let's get out of here quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan and others silently followed her and turned away. The four of them had just taken a few steps when they heard a gloomy echo coming from the room: "Death! Die - die!"

Su Qiqi's heart trembled, she suppressed her fear, looked at each other with Qin Chuan and others, and stood still. The four of them exchanged opinions in a low voice.

"You're not going to fake the corpse, are you?" Yan Ruoyu glanced at the window with lingering fear, then quickly turned back.

"Let's not scare ourselves first. I just tested it with the ghost control technique. The man inside is still breathing..."

"Then what should we do next?" Yan Ruoyu's teeth chattered a little.

Qin Chuan clenched his fists and frowned: "You guys retreat outside the temple and wait for me... I'll go find out..."

Su Qiqi was a little worried and said to Yan Ruoyu and Xuanyuan Yin: "You two go outside first, while Qin Chuan and I go find the whereabouts of the treasure..."

Yan Ruoyu and Xuanyuan originally wanted to go together, but after thinking about it, it was safer to have someone outside to take care of them. Otherwise, if there was an accident, it would be easy for others to take over!

After Su Qiqi watched the two of them leave safely, she and Qin Chuan returned to the room where the twisted figure was found.

The two squatted in the dark under the window for a while, and after making sure there was no one else in the room, they sneaked into the room secretly.

Qin Chuan stepped forward and felt the stiff and twisted man's breath, and then carefully touched the man's limbs. The man suddenly fell to the ground, bleeding from seven holes and died.

Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan were both startled. They squatted down and checked the man's body again to confirm that the other person had expired.

The two sighed at the same time, looked at each other in understanding, and started rummaging around the room.

"Qin Chuan, come and take a look, there is a mechanism here..." Su Qiqi stood in front of a book shelf, lightly tapping the wall behind the shelf with one hand, and calling Qin Chuan in a low voice.

Qin Chuan immediately ran over after hearing the sound, raised his hand and knocked on the wall, and said to Su Qiqi: "It's hollow here... This brick is a bit special... It seems to be loose..." After that, he looked confused. He continued to knock a few more times.

As he was knocking, the brick rotated 180 degrees, revealing the side engraved with strange patterns. Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan hurriedly came over to take a closer look. As they looked at it, both of them were a little confused.

Su Qiqi gently touched the pattern on the brick and murmured to herself: "This pattern looks a bit familiar! The human shape on it is twisted..."

Qin Chuan turned his head and glanced at the body lying on the ground thoughtfully, and suddenly his mind was stimulated and he said: "This pattern is very similar to the appearance of the man before he fell to the ground... Is there any special connection between this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Qiqi also noticed that the pattern was exactly the same as the state of the deceased before he fell to the ground. Her heart sank suddenly: Is there any mystery behind this twisted human body?

She pondered for a while, looked at Qin Chuan with some anxiety, and said hesitantly: "Is this a kind of lynching unique to the Yeyou Alliance? Or is it a deliberate trap set up by the leader of the Yeyou Alliance to lure us in?"

Qin Chuan also looked in the direction of the door and window with some worry, and whispered: "Let's be careful... There must be many mechanisms here. If you don't pay attention, you may fall into a situation that will never be recovered..."

After that, the two of them continued to ponder the open secret compartment and got closer to see what was going on inside the wall. It was okay if they didn't look at it, but when they saw it, both of them were shocked. There were several twisted corpses placed side by side inside the wall, exactly like the dead ones on the ground!

Oh my God! Is this the "morgue" of Yeyou League? The fear in Su Qiqi's heart couldn't help but increase a little more, and she subconsciously leaned towards Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan seemed to notice her uneasiness, gently held her shoulders, looked into her eyes tenderly, and gave her the strength to calm down.

After a while, the two calmed down, restored the special brick to its original position, silently left the room, and returned to the outside of the temple to meet Yan Ruoyu and Xuanyuan Yin.

Seeing their pale faces, Yan Ruoyu asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you in any danger?"

Su Qiqi shook her head and whispered: "Let's leave here first..."

Although Xuanyuan Yin was very curious, he felt a strong sense of danger from their looks. He suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan, and Yan Ruoyu to rush back to the escort office.
