On a dark and windy night, people are killing people and setting fires.
The government spent the whole day checking the city gates, and soldiers patrolled at night. But early the next morning, many people went to the government to report that they had found mummies at home.
And the strangest thing is that all the mummies are women.
"Have you heard? There are so many mummies in town, it's scary!"
"Yes! Could it be that monsters eat people?"
"terrible!"
······
When Wen Xi heard the news, he couldn't help but frown.
Mummy?
How could something like this appear in this town!
"Girl, this town is not peaceful. Why don't you go to the other courtyard for a while? Although the master is not in the other courtyard, he has left many secret guards, so it is safer in the other courtyard." Although An Yi doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods. , but the girl’s safety is most important right now: “My subordinates also sent someone to send a message to the master.”
"No need, the shop is safe enough." And she had a strange premonition that this incident seemed to be directed at her.
As soon as An saw that she had made up her mind, she said no more, and just secretly transferred some of the secret guards from other courtyards to the area around Nishangfang.
Wen Xi noticed An Yi's little moves and didn't stop him.
Although she doesn't need so many secret guards, there are many clerks and embroiderers in Nishangfang, so she can be much safer with secret guards guarding her.
Moreover, the mummies this time were all women, which meant that the murderer must have collected the blood of women.
It takes so much blood at one time...
I really don’t know what to do. How can I take away so much blood and preserve it?
For several days in a row, mummies of women kept appearing in the town. For a while, the women in the town were so frightened that they did not dare to go out. The government sent so many officers to patrol and investigate, but there was no progress at all.
It's like a real ghost comes and goes without a trace.
The theory of strange powers and chaotic gods has been spread to become even more miraculous.
"I saw a big black shadow with hair so long that it was dragging on the ground. The ghost's fingernails were bright red and its teeth were pointy. It was so scary!"
"Could it really be a ghost?"
"It must be, otherwise how could it suck people's blood dry!"
ghost?
What a joke.
How can there be ghosts in this world!
That night, Wen Xi was just about to go to bed when she heard a scream from the shop next door. She looked out the window and saw the old shopkeeper running out crawling on the ground, shouting as he ran: "Mummy corpse! Help! Help!"
His shouts attracted many people to open their windows to check.
"It's over, ghosts are coming to our street!"
An Yi came to Wenxi's door immediately: "Girl, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Wen Xi opened the door and said to An Yi, "Where are Xiaoyu and the others?"
"Everything is fine." Mu Runcheng hurried over with little Mu Yun in his arms, Xiao Yu and the others followed behind.
Everyone is crowded in Wenxi's room. Originally, her room was the largest here, but now that so many people are here, it seems extremely crowded, but no one is willing to leave. At this time, it is best for everyone to be together. It's safe.
"Girl, the shop is surrounded by our secret guards, so nothing will happen." As soon as An Yi finished speaking, he heard the sound of something slapping on the window of the room.
"Bah bang bang." It kept ringing.
"Is a vampire ghost here?" Xiaoyu and several embroiderers cried out of fright on the spot.
"Don't be afraid, it's a gray bird." An Yi opened the window and brought in a gray bird: "This is our unique way of contacting you." He took a note from the bird's leg.
After reading it, his expression darkened and he handed it to Wen Xi: "Girl, the situation is not good."
"It means that they didn't see anyone entering the shop next door, and the proprietress of that shop turned into a mummy?"
An nodded: "They have all undergone special training. If they were not extremely skilled in martial arts, they would not be able to find traces."
Martial arts, extremely superb...
Suddenly a red figure flashed in her mind.
That person couldn't even resist An Yi, let alone those secret guards?
However, although Murong Huan seemed to be carefree, he should not have done such a crazy thing.
"Do you have a chance to let me see what the mummy looks like?" Maybe she could see some clues.
"With the master's finger, you can get through here unimpeded."
Wen Xi shook her head. She didn't want to expose her relationship with Mo Yuyan unless she had to.
Last time, she revealed it secretly in front of Mr. Zhang, and the effect was indeed immediate. Afterwards, she specifically asked An Yi to deliver the news to Mr. Zhang, making sure to keep it secret.
Based on An Yi's ability to do things, he must know how to tell Master Zhang.
So she wasn't worried about being exposed.
But now the matter of the mummy has spread a lot, and if I go there rashly, I am afraid that someone will discover it.
It seems that we need to think of other ways.
Just when she was at a loss what to do, a chuckle came from the window.
"Look, I'll just say goodbye!" The monster-like laughter reached everyone's ears.
He subconsciously stood in front of Wen Xi.
A red figure flashed past An Yi in an instant and stopped next to Wenxi.
An Yi's face looked ugly.
"Girl, be careful!"
Wen Xi waved her hands and looked at Murong Huan speechlessly. Is this person the roundworm in her belly?
Why did he appear just now when I thought of him?
"You are quite well informed." Wen Xi looked at him and said, "It only took me a little while to figure out who I am."
Murong Huan nodded and said, "That's natural. No one can stop me from what I want to know."
"Then tell me, what's going on with mummies in this town?"
"This..." He waved his fan and said, "I came here to look for you as soon as I arrived here. I don't have time to care about the mummy. However, if you want to see it, I can take you there."
"Is this true?" Wen Xi's eyes lit up instantly.
At this time, An Yi took a step forward: "Girl."
"This man is Murong Huan. As for what he does, I don't know." Wen Xi looked at the monster's appearance and said lightly: "But he really doesn't look like a good person."
Murong Huan paused while waving the fan: "Is this the impression I have in your eyes?"
if not?
Before Wen Xi could say anything, he saw Murong Huan lightly swiping his fan, and blood gushed out from his index finger.
"what you do?"
Murong Huan did not answer, but placed her index finger stained with his blood on Wen Xi's forehead.
The blood droplets did not fall, but were imprinted on her eyebrows, and gradually disappeared after a while.
Wen Xi didn't know what happened, but others were shocked when they saw this scene.
"It's really you." Murong Huan murmured, "I have been waiting for you for ten years."
Wen Xi was a little confused and had no idea what this guy was talking about.
Ten years, what decade?
"You are from Tianmen Mountain." An Yi said in a deep voice.
Murong Huan raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "As expected of the secret guard of Prince Zhan's Mansion, he has a lot of experience!"
