A muscular handyman turned into dust under the influence of evil forces.
Chen Qingyan, who had watched this horrifying scene, felt awe-struck in his heart.
Stick to the bone wall, try your best to hide it, and try to control your breathing and heartbeat to the lowest and weakest point.
At this time, he still didn't understand that the servants who had been missing intermittently from many servants' courtyards during this period actually did not escape Lingu or return to Jugu City at all.
Rather,
Killed secretly and brutally.
There's not even a scrap left.
No wonder it disappeared.
I'm afraid Lin Gu also treated it as a missing person because he couldn't see anyone alive or dead, and left the matter undisturbed.
It may even have not been investigated.
After all, he was just a handyman, and every once in a while, a few would die due to various circumstances.
Chen Qingyan was very calm, even if he was at the murder scene, the murderer was just across the wall.
He still has his mind to think and analyze things.
I witnessed the scene and combined it with the news I heard this month.
He found,
The murderer is very smart.
Never commit crimes consecutively at the same location.
The previous reports of missing servants were from other courtyards, not theirs.
And some time ago,
A big fish cannibalism incident occurred in Houhai.
This incident has aroused fear in the heart of the handyman.
There are going to be people who really want to get out of here.
Living in this class-strict world, perhaps all mortals want to become monks and stand out.
However, not everyone is not afraid of death.
Suppose the murderer learns this,
It became natural to choose them to commit murder in a mixed courtyard.
and......
Chen Qingyan's heart began to sink.
Think from the perspective of a murderer. Once you understand this and take action, you will never kill just one handyman, but will choose between two to four people.
Four is a bit adventurous.
So two, or three.
Assuming that the handyman who died just now was just the first person, then the murderer would not leave.
He will continue to look for a second or even third victim.
Chen Qingyan's eyes peered through the gap in the cracked bone wall, always spying on the murderer who was holding the skull motionless.
If the other party really commits a crime.
Perhaps it is safest to stay here by yourself.
Time passed slowly.
finally,
The murderer put down his skull, and Chen Qingyan keenly noticed that a faint wisp of green energy penetrated into the opponent's mouth and nose. The originally dark skull seemed to be whiter than before.
At the same time, the mask worn by the murderer lit up with a faint light.
"ah--"
The murderer moaned intoxicatedly.
It's like taking a hallucinogenic drug.
After being dazed for a while, he carefully put away the skull and walked out of the crime scene.
Chen Qingyan sighed secretly.
that direction.
It is exactly where the other stone houses of the handymen are located.
His stone house is more remote, but it's over there.
He guessed it right,
The murderer really wanted to take advantage of the Houhai Big Fish cannibalism incident and arrest a few more handymen.
He lay on the bone wall and didn't really relax until the sound of footsteps completely disappeared.
Immediately, he laughed silently, with a bit of mockery and a bit of playfulness in his smile.
This murderer is very cautious.
Also very smart.
However, it is not stable enough and not smart enough.
If Lingu is a well-organized force, something will be discovered after tonight, or even alert before today.
Judging from the murderer's style of committing crimes and the fact that he only looked for handymen to attack, the guy wearing the mask was definitely not very strong.
His identity was probably from Lingu's outer sect, or even a handyman like him.
Chen Qingyan guessed that it was probably the latter.
Or maybe he once worked as a handyman and later achieved a breakthrough in his skills.
Otherwise, the murderer would not be so familiar and understand the handyman's side of things.
A tight organization will not have too bad control over its personnel.
The disappearance of the handymen was all attributed to the fact that they could not bear the suffering or fled out of fear.
That would be too disrespectful to the monks in Lingu.
Most of the handymen, even if they are taught Gu Yuan Gong, are actually no different from ordinary people. With such a weak body, it is almost impossible to 'go down the mountain' and climb down the 90-degree right angle bone mountain, even if Lin Valley laissez-faire.
Unless you leave from the normal way up and down the mountain.
There are such opportunities, but not many.
For example, half a month ago, supplies arrived and required ten people to carry them. It was feasible to escape during the transportation process.
But those missing handymen should not all have left Lingu in this way.
if not,
Handymen who disappear frequently will attract the attention of interested people.
If Lingu had been strict, he might have begun a secret search for the murderer by now.
If we were to relax, we would probably react if two or three servants disappeared in a row after tonight.
so,
Chen Qingyan thought that the murderer was too cautious and not wise enough.
If it were him, not only would he not take action tonight, he would even lie dormant for a while to test Lin Gu's reaction.
If Lin Gu really didn't care about the handyman's affairs, then he wouldn't have committed more than three murders in the next month.
Moreover, they will resort to various dangerous tasks such as pulling weeds in the bone field and cleaning the Demon Slaughter Hall to hide their actions.
'Missing' must never be used as an excuse.
And through the snooping just now, the other party sucked the skull to feed back the strange green energy of the past, and it seemed to be addictive. This hidden danger greatly increased the risk of the murderer being exposed.
Once addicted.
Without great perseverance, you cannot endure it for long.
"I hope you don't go to my room."
Chen Qingyan murmured, closed his eyes to rest, and waited silently.
Half an hour passed,
Chen Qingyan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the previous gap.
The masked killer is back.
He also dragged along a handyman whom Chen Qingyan knew.
Surprisingly, he was one of the people who had besieged Zeng Zhaolong at the place where he was drying clothes a month ago.
The physique is equally strong.
Chen Qingyan witnessed the whole process that followed, and carefully noticed that the other party's body seemed a little uncoordinated.
"injured?"
Chen Qingyan's heart moved.
All kinds of thoughts are running wildly in my mind.
at some point,
Suddenly his eyes fixed, and he fell silent from then on.
wind,
Echoing among the gray mountains of bones.
In a dark corner where the stars and moon cannot shine, a crime is happening.
A life, absorbed by evil power...
Almost exhausted.
puff.
Dust drifts away.
The body collapses.
Everything from the handyman to his clothes was reduced to dust and debris.
The murderer didn't care, and couldn't wait to pick up the skull, wanting to taste the dreamy taste again.
However, at this moment,
The sharp light of the knife flashed past the edge of the bone wall outside the dark corner.
Like a silverbait in a pond, it catches your attention in a leisurely flash, but when you want to look again, there is no trace of it.
Pa da ~
The masked head fell to the ground.
Gululu thick plasma gushes out.
After death, the headless corpse still held the skull that had become deep again, but the green energy in the skull no longer leaked out.
