Wow!
There was a sound of the chains being locked, and Yue Guanchao and Xu Xiake were put into the cell. He was wearing wet clothes and stayed in the cold prison again. He felt the cold air penetrate into the seams of his bones and shivered unconsciously.
"Hey, brother, you can't lock us here, at least interrogate us and clear our name."
When Yue Guanchao spoke, the prison security guard did not raise his head and ignored him at all. Instead, because the two of them were yelling randomly, he picked up his baton and hit the iron cage hard: "When we get here, they are all murder prisoners. There are no ten and a half months." Investigate the case, don’t even think about coming out, just be honest with me.”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the world is dark, the world is really dark. We acted bravely, but we were imprisoned by you. It is simply unreasonable and unfair."
Xu Xiake looked at the prison corridor. There were prisoners in every cell crying out for injustice. They were crying and howling one after another. It was like entering purgatory, but his voice was drowned out by these cries of injustice.
"Brother Xu, don't waste your energy. Fortunately, Song Qianjin and the others were not imprisoned. Maybe they are thinking of ways to get us out. If they were also imprisoned, it would be a complete stop. We are here Yueyang is an unfamiliar place, so it’s difficult to even take a single step.”
He decided to save energy and sit on the straw mat, gathered up the straw and put it into the stone basin. He picked up the oil lamp and lit it in the stone basin. When the bright fire came out from the straw, the surroundings were finally not so cold. He picked up the oil lamp and lit it in the stone basin. The wet clothes on his body were left next to the brazier until they were sizzling and smoking.
When Xu Xiake saw the fire pot rising, he took off his wet clothes and muttered: "Now, we finally have a new clue, and our imprisonment will not be in vain. Most of these people your uncle mentioned are the Golden Rat Society." The mastermind is also the one who uses illusions to trick the rat fairy into seeking his life, but I am really curious about one thing."
"What are you curious about?"
"If it's a hallucination? How do they use hallucinations to kill people?"
Although Xu Xiake had seen the neat wounds of cold weapons on the corpses, he could only judge that these people were killed by cold weapons. As for how they killed people, he had no idea at all. At this moment, Yue Guanchao heard Xu Xiake mention this again. At one point, he happened to tell what he saw: "Someone was deliberately committing murder. When they were leaving, I saw a man holding a strange scimitar. He hid in the darkness and disappeared in the blink of an eye." 33
"What scimitar?"
Xu Xiake was very interested in these weapons.
"Probably similar to a dragon claw."
Yue Guanchao found a straw from the ground, then wrapped five straws around the straw, completely separated them into claws and handed them to Xu Xiake.
Xu Xiake looked at these knives, his eyes becoming more serious: "Dragon claw knife, no wonder it is so sharp, it can cut people alive."
"Do you know this kind of knife?"
Yue Guanchao was on fire, his eyes became curious.
Xu Xiake used the straw to introduce the strength of the blade: "Yes, the Dragon Claw Knife is an exotic weapon. I also saw this kind of knife when I went to Dunhuang. It is mostly used by border merchants, caravans, and escort agencies for self-defense. It is better than ordinary knives." The style is completely different, as if five scimitars were twisted together with their blades facing inwards, forming the shape of a dragon's claws."
He paused and his tone became mysterious: "The most special thing about this knife is its handle. There is a structure similar to a scissors handle at the handle. The five blades can be tightened inward and completely gathered by relying on the grip. If the blade is sharp enough, it can cut off a person's body in an instant."
"As long as this kind of knife is grasped, it can completely cut off the body. It can't even be resisted. Most weapons can't resist five or six blades pressing inward at once. Even a steel blade will be destroyed. Tie it into a sieve, if this is the kind of weapon these people use, I can understand why the body is cut into such regular and broken pieces."
After Xu Xiake finished speaking, Yue Guanchao looked at his coat. Five slits were cut at his waist at some point, and they just gathered into a claw shape. It was obvious that they were the marks left by the Dragon Claw Sword.
Yue Guanchao nodded to Xu Xiake and said: "Look at it this way, these people from the Golden Rat Society use illusions as a blindfold. The so-called dragon cannibalism is just someone using a dragon claw knife to tear human bodies into pieces. As long as the leader keeps killing people, among us From the illusionist's perspective, it looks like a dragon is tearing apart a living person, thus covering up the real murderer of the Golden Rat Society murderer."
"Absolutely."
"I feel that the Golden Rat Society has more than just this secret. When the old Taoist priest came, the people from the Golden Rat Society used the words of the Rat Immortal Arhat to say that the people of Yueyang City paid for their debts with blood. This shows that they are not just killing people and creating horrific legends. , most likely with the intention of seeking revenge.”
"But the key is?" Xu Xiake narrowed his eyes: "What grudge do they have against the people of Yueyang?"
In response to this, Yue Guanchao could only shake his head: "Probably, Jin Laodao must know something. This monk came here smelling the smell. It can be seen that he knows the inside story, but we don't know what the inside story is."
Then, he picked up the clothes that were gradually drying up and shook them out a few times. He didn't pay attention to the things in his pocket and fell out of it.
"Just what?"
Xu Xiake took advantage of the firelight and picked up the pendant, which was about the same as a wrist rope loop. He tied the knot with red thread and in the middle was a gold pendant the size of a copper coin.
Yue Guanchao looked at the pendant and wiped his nose: "I picked this thing up from under the corpse. I wanted to see what it was. Unexpectedly, I was imprisoned before I could see it. What is this thing?" do not know yet."
The two looked at the pendant. Through the light in the brazier, they could clearly see a red sun painted in the middle of the pendant, with auspicious clouds and waves etched on the edge of the outer ring. In the red sun, a moon shaped like a horseshoe hung high in the mountain and shone brightly. Quartet.
"Hey, hey, are you still roasting? Hurry up and put on your clothes and come out. Someone is here to protect you."
Outside the prison, a security guard knocked on the fence and said angrily.
Yue Guanchao and Xu Xiake quickly put on half-dry clothes and followed the security guards out of the prison. When they walked out of the hospital, they could see that there were regular office buildings on both sides. Taoist Jin and others were waiting in the courtyard with Song Siyuan and others.
"You follow me to the office and fill out a note to prove that you are not the murderer, and then you can leave."
After Yue Guanchao and the others entered the office, the security guard came over with a document and handed it to them. He looked at it for a few times and confirmed that he did not dig a hole for them, and wrote their names.
When the police officer saw them signing the form, he coughed a few times and said, "It's hard to talk about these things. About fifty or sixty people died this time, and they all died so miserably. There's nothing we can do about it. Who can help us?" You guys are digging through the corpses at the scene, and when you get out, have a bowl of pork knuckle noodles to get rid of your bad luck."
Some people died, but not completely...
