Feeling the shocking chill emanating from the other party, Duan Xuhong shook his head desperately: "I don't know, I really don't know, I've already said everything I know, really!"
Seeing that she was about to cry, and probably couldn't ask anything else, Lin Qingqing let her go.
Wen Ling, like Qu Xingchi, is at the second level and has not yet woken up. Without her, they would not have been able to find Qu Xingchi in the first place.
"I hope that boy lives long enough!"
Lin Qingqing called Lei Min over, then quietly took out a small thing from the folds of her collar and gave it to her.
"Take this, then take Xiao Ling Dang and Duan Xuhong and leave first. I'll go find Xing Chi!"
"Be careful of their superpower who emits anesthetic smell." Lin Qingqing put Wen Ling on Lei Min's back and told them.
"Captain, be careful!" Lei Min said, squeezing the things in his hands.
"Don't worry, I'm prepared this time!"
Looking at her worried eyes, Lin Qingqing smiled slightly. She understood what Lei Min meant. She was not only worried that she would be in danger, but she was also worried that she would be forced to kill someone again.
After explaining to Lei Min, Lin Qingqing quietly came to the door with her skates in hand.
Perhaps these people didn't take these women seriously. At this time, there was only one guard standing outside the door, and he was just an ordinary person.
Lin Qingqing gently put her finger on the door panel, and the next second, a small ice blade suddenly appeared in the air outside the door panel.
As soon as the guard felt the icy cold air, he turned his head and his throat was cut instantly.
Carefully picking the door lock, Lin Qingqing dragged the guard's body into the house.
Duan Xuhong saw that this woman killed someone without even blinking, and she immediately covered her mouth in fear.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and leave before they notice!"
Lei Min grabbed Duan Xuhong and, under the cover of Lin Qingqing, quickly escaped with Wen Ling on his back.
"She...won't she leave?"
"Captain is going to find someone. Please lead the way quickly. Let's go to the place where we met before."
"She, she's alone?"
"What's wrong with being alone? Without us, the captain is safer alone!"
"Oh, then come with me."
Duan Xuhong couldn't help but look back at the direction where Lin Qingqing disappeared. She knew that this young woman was a person with supernatural powers. Although she didn't know how she killed people through the door panel before, she should be more powerful than those men.
"I will definitely be able to escape this time!"
Looking at the hidden path ahead, Duan Xuhong couldn't help but feel excited. This was the second time she ran away today. Different from the fear and panic before, this time she felt much more at ease.
"Sister, how about I help you carry it for a while?"
Seeing the petite girl behind her carrying a little girl not much shorter than her, Duan Xuhong couldn't help but say.
"Need not."
Avoiding the opponent's outstretched hand, Lei Min lifted Wen Ling's body up and said, "Just lead the way from the front. I have better physical strength than you!"
This is true. As a third-level superpower, her physical strength is indeed more than double that of ordinary Duan Xuhong.
"Then be careful. This mountain road is not easy to walk on. If you fall and get hurt, there will be no one to save you."
Duan Xuhong didn't know this. She curled her lips secretly, thinking that Lei Min just didn't trust her.
"You don't have to worry about this, just leave quickly!"
Seeing that she was still whining, Lei Min couldn't help but urge her.
"It's true that Lu Dongbin bites the bullet and doesn't recognize good people. I'm not worried about you holding him back. If that woman can't stand it and gets caught, don't expect me to take you back to save people."
Seeing Lei Min's ignorance, Duan Xuhong muttered something dissatisfied, and then she ignored the two people behind her and sped up and ran forward.
In this run, he ran out for half a mile.
Duan Xuhong stopped to take a breath. She fully expected that the other party would not be able to follow her.
On the way, when she looked back, she saw the girl carrying the little girl on her back and following her steadily not far behind her. Her face was not red, her heart was not beating, and there was not even a drop of sweat on her forehead.
"Why did you stop? Let's go!" Lei Min looked at her in confusion and kept urging.
"You and I……"
Duan Xuhong held a breath in her chest, unable to swallow or spit out, so she could only turn her head and continue running forward.
"At this speed, run! We are running for our lives, not outing!"
Seeing her depressed look, Lei Min curled his lips: I can't cure you if I tell you to talk nonsense!
On the other side, Lin Qingqing quietly slipped into the village after seeing the three people off.
Different from the simple Baishi Town, this village has a strange feeling everywhere.
The entire village is built on the mountain, and all the houses are scattered intricately on the mountainside. As soon as she walked into the village, it was as if she had entered a maze. She looked around at the same courtyard walls and roofs.
What's even more strange is that there is no movement at all in the entire village at this time. All the doors and windows of every household are closed, and no one can leave the house.
"What are they doing hiding at home in broad daylight? To protect themselves from wild animals or zombies?"
"If they don't go out to work, what do they usually eat? What do they drink?"
Lin Qingqing was full of questions.
She hadn't found Qu Xingchi yet, so she didn't dare to alert him, but searching for him one by one was not an option.
Looking at such a large village, she decided to find someone to "ask" first.
Finding a random yard, Lin Qingqing climbed over the wall and entered, then walked around the front door and came to the back of the house.
The curtains on the back window of the house were half-opened. She peeked through the gap and saw an old lady lying on the bed by the window.
A middle-aged man was sitting beside the bed. He seemed to be the old lady's son, holding a bowl of black paste in his hand.
"Mom, please eat some. It took a lot of effort to get this." The middle-aged man persuaded her earnestly.
The old lady didn't respond, as if she hadn't heard.
"Mom, can you please stop doing this? It's not like you don't know what's going on outside."
"I know you feel sorry for Ajuan, but who told her to be a girl? And every household in the village is like this, so why are you doing this?"
Seeing that the old lady still turned her head and ignored him, the man couldn't help but pass the bowl forward and said: "Mom, this is what Ajuan sacrificed her life for. If you don't eat it, how can you be worthy of her?"
Hearing this, the old lady who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed suddenly opened her eyes and slapped her. The man quickly stood up and took two steps back after being slapped forcefully. While returning it, he carefully protected the bowl in his arms.
"Go away, I don't have you, your son!"
The old lady squeezed out a few words from her throat, her voice was hoarse, her dry fingers moved twice and then dropped weakly again.
Seeing that his persuasion was in vain, the man sighed and had no choice but to put the bowl on the table, then turned and walked out of the room.
Outside the house, Lin Qingqing couldn't help but glance at the old lady inside, then decisively walked around to the front of the house and intercepted the man.
"do not move!"
As soon as the man stepped into the kitchen, a cold dagger was placed on his neck.
He was startled, and subconsciously wanted to apologize. As soon as the words came to his mouth, he heard a voice coming from behind him, and he suddenly changed his attention.
"woman?"
He rolled his eyes, then suddenly turned around and grasped the white wrist on his shoulder, pulling it out fiercely.
It didn't move at all!
His eyes widened, and he exerted force on his lower back. He leaned back with all his strength, intending to press the opponent against the wall.
Unfortunately, this move still had no effect, and the other party still held his neck tightly with the knife.
"What do you want to do?"
Seeing how dishonest he was, Lin Qingqing snorted coldly, then lowered her head slightly, and an ice blade appeared out of thin air with a "Puff" sound.
It plunged into the man's thigh.
"Ah! Ooooh~"
The man suddenly lurched in pain, and just as he was about to scream, a pair of cold hands grabbed his throat.
"Be honest!" Lin Qingqing said, dragging the man into the kitchen, and then raised her foot and closed the door.
The man didn't expect that this woman was so strong. In her hands, he had no ability to resist at all.
At this moment, blood was still pouring from his thigh. Seeing that his struggle was useless, he quickly asked for mercy.
"S-spare me, what do you want? I-I'll give it to you!"
"Tell me! Where are you keeping all the people you kidnapped?"
"Those people are in a small room with sealed windows at the east end of the village!"
"Where else could it be?"
The small room he mentioned was the one they escaped from before, but Lin Qingqing knew there must be other places.
"without……"
"No more?" Lin Qingqing narrowed her eyes, and the next moment, another ice blade was inserted into his leg.
"Ahem, yes, yes!"
The man shivered in pain again, and he finally saw that this woman was a evil star, and she was even scarier than the man when she was ruthless.
If he didn't tell her, she might really kill herself!
This time the man was really scared and quickly told what he knew.
"Besides that place, there is another place where men and women are kept. It's at the slaughterhouse at the west end of the village."
"They are locked up, and then what? What will you do with them?" Lin Qingqing continued to ask.
The man was silent now. No matter how he pressed, he was unwilling to say another word.
She didn't expect the man to be so harsh. Lin Qingqing frowned. Why didn't he say anything? Is it that you can’t say it or you just don’t dare to say it? Thinking of what Duan Xuhong said before about offering sacrifices to the mountain god, Lin Qingqing's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Seeing that she couldn't ask any more questions, Lin Qingqing turned the dagger and knocked the man unconscious.
Then she found a rope in the kitchen, tied his hands and feet, gagged him and threw him in the corner of the kitchen.
Knowing the location, Lin Qingqing no longer deliberately concealed her whereabouts. She ran as fast as possible to the slaughterhouse in the west of the village.
What will they use Qu Xingchi for? Sacrifice? feed? Or... food? With her past experience, it was difficult for her not to think of the worst.
