As soon as they entered the backyard, they knew they were late because all three graves in the backyard had been dug.
Looking at the ruined corpses and bones, Yi Liuling clenched her fists tightly.
Kun Yi patted him on the shoulder: "There's no point in getting angry now. Let's look for any clues."
"No need," Yi Liuling walked to the corner of the yard and picked up the shovel, "Let them bury them in their graves first."
"Don't you need to investigate?" Kun Yi frowned. Although those people must have searched in detail, if there are any traces left, they can still determine what the so-called secret of the mother-in-law is.
Yi Liuling shook her head: "The stuff isn't here, so let's fill it with soil."
Kun Yi thought for a while, decided to trust Yi Liuling's judgment, and reorganized the tomb with him.
Yi Liuling bowed to the tombstone, then picked up the pickaxe from the pile of tools and walked towards the front yard.
"Where are you going?" Kun Yi followed Yi Liuling into the yard and saw him standing on the lawn, staring at the S-shaped stone road, "You mean..."
Kun Yi suddenly recalled another sentence that his mother-in-law once said: "Remember the path you walked on."
Yi Liuling raised the pickaxe and smashed it hard on the loose stone slab he had stepped on before.
The surface of the stone slab was very thin, and a hole was cut directly, revealing a wooden box inside. Yi Liuling squatted down again, used a dagger to pry open along the cracks in the stone slab, and took out the box inside.
Kun Yi came closer. He still held an alchemy flashlight in his hand. Under the light, the two of them saw clearly that it was a wooden box with a simple shape and carvings on it, like something placed in an ancient woman's boudoir.
"Did mother-in-law come from the sixth world?" Kun Yi guessed, "Open it and take a look?"
"It's best not to open it here and go back to the tavern first." Yi Liuling felt that it was obviously very important for her mother-in-law to hint in such a subtle way. And the fact that this place was destroyed so quickly also showed that her mother-in-law was always under surveillance. under.
If the secret could be known by opening the box, then opening it here would be tantamount to directly exposing the truth that the mother-in-law had painstakingly concealed to the enemy.
After hearing this, Kun Yi felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded: "Then let's go back to the tavern."
The two of them tiptoed out again, avoiding all the guards and returning to the tavern along the same route.
Gudu left the light on for them in the room, even though he himself had fallen asleep on the table and only woke up when he heard someone climbing through the window.
"Gudu," Gudu rubbed his eyes when he saw Yi Liuling coming in through the window, "Come back?"
"Well, I'm back." Yi Liuling was followed by Kun Yi. The two pulled out chairs and sat down. The former casually threw his schoolbag into the corner of the room.
Gudu noticed the wooden box in Yi Liuling's hand and asked curiously: "Gudu, what is it?"
Yi Liuling sighed and put the box on the table: "I don't know either. Let's open it and take a look."
The box was not locked, but Yi Liuling could understand her mother-in-law's thoughts: although the wood was good, it was not an extremely strong material. Even if it was locked, it would not stop others from smashing it, so she put it more often. Hope rests on hiding places rather than protective boxes.
After the box was opened, an empty glass bottle appeared inside, with some liquid appearing to remain at the bottom.
"What does this mean?" Kun Yi leaned over, squeezed Yi Liuling away, and looked at the bottle.
Gudu also came over curiously, blinking his big, dazed eyes.
"Wait a minute, there seems to be writing on the bottom of this bottle." Yi Liuling pointed at the bottle and exclaimed.
At this moment, Gudu's eyes narrowed, and his left hand suddenly turned into a claw, piercing the body of Kun Yi who was caught off guard. Because of Kun Yi's previous move, Yi Liuling was far away from Gudu, so she reacted and retreated to the window.
Gudu closed the box, his body swelled up, and the camouflage human skin wrapped around it cracked. What crawled out was a half-human, half-spider monster. It was smaller and uglier than the previous blood-eyed spider demon. Quite a few, and they don’t look that strong.
"Ha." The ugly humanoid body was split from the chin to the navel, opened a ferocious mouth, and rushed towards Yi Liuling.
Yi Liuling didn't make any move. His weapons were all in his backpack, and it was obvious that he couldn't fight with his bare hands. In fact, the spider demons also discovered that Yi Liuling was unarmed, so they gave priority to attacking Kun Yi, who was more dangerous. Of course, this was also related to the distance between the two parties.
In short, just as Yi Liuling was about to die at the hands of the spider demon, a ball of light suddenly flew in from the window and directly hit the spider demon's open mouth.
This was not some kind of light magic, but the unicorn's signature purification power. It entered the body with weak defense directly. The blood-eyed spider demon screamed and fell to the ground.
The evolved blood-eyed spider demon was considered a high-level demon after all, so it did not die immediately. However, it didn't know what the enemy outside the window was, and it had the box after all. It was obviously unwise to stay entangled, so it broke through the door and rushed out.
Yi Liuling sat where she was, hearing screams coming from downstairs, and sighed: "Come in."
A small head popped out of the window, it was Kun Yi, and Kun Yi's body that fell on the ground turned into a black flower, which was picked up by Yi Liuling.
"Blake is really amazing. Every time he gets poked, he doesn't get hurt." Yi Liuling put the flowers back on the potted plant, "Did she catch up?"
"Chasing him, I'm watching." Kun Yi climbed into the room, "Don't worry, although Dong Ma is lazy and fierce, he is quite reliable in doing things."
"Who is lazy and fierce?" A cold voice came from the window, and then a sack was thrown into the room, making a muffled groan.
Yi Liuling quickly ran over and opened the bag, revealing Gudu's aggrieved face: "Gudu, it's so miserable."
"Okay, it's okay." Yi Liuling helped Gudu up, took out a candy from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, "Let's rest for a while."
The toffee was very sweet, and Gudu was very forgetful. He immediately became happy and squatted on the bed.
Dongma stood outside the window and did not walk in: "Do you want to go back now?"
"No need for now, we need to sleep," Kun Yi said to Dongma. "If you have nothing to do, you can arrest the owner of the tavern downstairs. Oh, by the way, do you have an interrogation module?"
"There is no such thing as a bodyguard type," Dongma said expressionlessly. Before Kunyi said "Forget it," he added, "But the master has installed it extra for me, so I can use it."
"Okay, then go ahead." Kun Yi said with a smile.
