C1844
A few people who were about the same height ran into the alley and after searching for a while, they left empty-handed.
Like shooting stars, they streaked across the sky. In the blink of an eye, they appeared on the rooftop a few meters away, leaving afterimages behind as they disappeared. When their figures reappeared, they had already landed on an empty patch of land.
In the darkness, the open space was surrounded by flickering lights. The light spots formed a line that drew a frame in the middle of the open space, making it impossible to see the end of it. From afar, one could vaguely make out that these specks of light were connected to the ground, forming a fortress. This place looked like a defensive station.
The few of them knelt in front of a black shadow with their heads lowered. From the side, they did not have faces, and wore the same mask, their faces were as white as paper, the corners of their mouths and eyes had been hollowed out, the masks' nose was sharp, and their appearances were strange, but close to their skin, so that they could not see the material of the mask.
The black shadow faced the sky with his hands behind his back. He listened to the report from behind and waved his hand after a long time, leaving no words behind. After his men left, he took out a cloth bag from his sleeves and threw it into the sky. Qin Wentian's lips moved, as an illusory image appeared in the air before vanishing into nothingness.
The Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant knew the world!
Peony stood at the top of Aromatic cloud all night long. Ever since the strange phenomenon had occurred at the compass, she had a bad feeling about it. Her current position was at the highest point in the entire North Side. Maybe when she was building this place, she had received guidance from an expert, so every tile of this place revealed the secrets of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
Standing at the highest point, the entire North Side looked like a crawling demon king, and the Aromatic cloud was the demon king's back.
Ye Cheng quietly walked behind Peony, he had been paying attention to this girl who had grown up all night. Firstly, was worried that she would turn herself in because of Leng Bing, and secondly, wanted to know the reason behind the Haemonchus nigricans and the black sculpture.
Peony stood motionless in front of him. She faced the south and looked at her strange posture. Looking towards the south, there was a change in the sky.
The clouds gathered together from all directions, forming a crater in the middle, and from below, a pillar of light shot into the hole, releasing Lei Ming's sound.
At the same time, similar phenomena appeared on both the east and the west. The pillars of these threads were extremely similar under the night sky. This strange scene continued for a few seconds before disappearing from the night sky, returning to its original appearance.
With one hand, he shook her beloved drum. As he calculated with the fingers of his hand, he muttered to himself for a long time before getting up and walking towards the direction Ye Cheng was hiding.
"I still want to go to that village. If you don't have time, give me the address."
"What was that just now?"
Peony tilted her head and hesitantly said, "Leng Bing's intuition is very accurate!"
In the face of this peony, Ye Cheng only said two words: "Seven!" He then turned around and left.
Early in the morning, a JEEP quietly drove out of North Side.
Ye Cheng threw a blanket to Peony to rest on the carriage. This trip would take at least an hour.
Peony gazed out of the window, her eyes filled with many secrets and concerns. The young girl who had accepted such a heavy responsibility had become mature after only a few months. It truly did not match up to her childhood.
"Do you believe the prophecy of the four geniuses who have gathered here can break the heavens?"
"Everyone here believes it, and I do, but I don't believe it now. All we see and hear is that someone wants us to believe. " She was the representative of a new force that was chosen. To be honest, Ye Cheng did not believe her.
"Let's witness it together!"
Peony stared at Ye Cheng weirdly, and then continued to look out the window.
It was a weekend morning and there weren't many cars on the streets. They were able to get out of the capital without any obstructions, and after passing through a signalling port, they turned right at the bend.
In front of them was the cordon, guarded by several uniformed men, who raised their hands to signal for the car to stop. After inquiring the purpose of their visit, he immediately told them to turn back. Because the village in front of the mountain torrent a few days ago had completely fallen into the mud avalanche, making it impossible for them to pass through.
Ye Cheng glanced at Peony, and asked the soldiers standing guard, if there was any other way to go, and explained to them that the little girl beside him was from the village, and wanted to go back to take a look.
Peony opened her watery eyes and begged him with tears in her eyes. Helpless, the soldiers mercilessly rejected their request. There were no longer any signs of life in the village, so if they wanted to find someone, they had to go to a nearby police station to search for them.
Ye Cheng did not stay there any longer, since he said that it would attract too much suspicion, he followed the guidance of the soldiers and the two people, and went to the registration office. Surprisingly, there were quite a few people here. They seemed to be here to inquire about the identity of the deceased. They were all people who had gone out to work.
Ye Cheng who was holding onto Peony walked through the crowd, suddenly finding a familiar figure in the crowd. He quietly followed this volunteer and arrived at the back of the house.
Carrying the man, the two of them walked into the forest.
"Who is he?"
"Weird!" Ye Cheng caught the volunteer's belt and tied him to a tree. After confirming that he couldn't escape after waking up, Ye Cheng slapped him with both of his hands.
Aiyo, a few screams later, the volunteer woke up. When he saw the peony, he chuckled. "It must be because I've never seen such a cute girl before, wanting to touch this tender skin, that I found myself bound." Who is it? Who is it that is so wicked to call me a criminal when I'm peeing? Who, quickly release me! "
"Hello, fellow nurse!" Ye Cheng pulled the peony behind him, he never expected to meet this guy here.
The man stared at Ye Cheng and blinked, then suddenly shouted loudly. The mud in his mouth had been stuffed with the peony and he could not make a sound.
Ye Cheng pressed the blade against the man's neck, threatening him to remain silent, and hid the head of the peony behind the tree.
Up ahead, at ten o'clock, two men came and stood side by side in front of the tree to take over, then lit a cigarette and smoked. One of them looked to be about fifty years old. He was wearing a white lab coat, which made him look like one of the rescue workers. The other man was dressed in civilian clothes. His shoulders were tall and sturdy, and he had a crew cut.
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man asked ingratiatingly, "That amount of money won't stop anyone else from talking!" "This time, anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a problem. Furthermore, there were large amounts of white bones. I have tried my best to conceal it, but the paper could not keep the fire safe!
The man with the back of Ye Cheng stomped his foot to extinguish his cigarette, and asked Ye Cheng how much he wanted. The middle-aged man considered for a moment, then raised his hand and said with a sneer, "The excavation will be completed in a few days.
"Secret, only the dead can keep it."
With that, the man covered his mouth with one hand, and with his right palm, he pressed it against the back of his head, striking the tree.
From far away, one could hear the sound of bones breaking. The middle-aged man had died because his neck had been broken.
Ye Cheng and the others who were hiding at the back were all shocked, especially the attendants who were tied to the tree. They were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe.
In this world, no matter how many people there were, they would always kill. If there was a single word, they would turn stubborn. This was too scary.
Ye Cheng indicated for Peony to watch over the nurse, and quietly went over to where the two were standing. There was a drag mark on the ground, he followed the drag mark to the back of the shed, and found a hole that had just been dug, where the middle-aged man's corpse was thrown. As for the man who was among the staff just now, he acted as if nothing had happened.
Returning to the side of the peony, he let go of the nurse and asked, "Didn't you run away? Why did you come back? "
"Run, where can we run to?" The nurse rolled her eyes at Ye Cheng. Speaking of what happened that day, it could be considered as having hit the jackpot for eight lifetimes.
That night, when the nurse saw the army enter the village, she knew something was going to happen. She fled to the back of the mountain and found a cave to hide in, as if she had waited for someone to leave before returning.
He fled all the way to the front of the mountain, where it began to rain heavily. A few days later, the mountain landslide he had hidden himself in covered the entire village, and after a night of escaping through the mountain, he settled down in the front of the village. Afterwards, he followed the people of the village to reinforce the village.
Regardless of whether the nurse's words were true or false, Ye Cheng told him to bring them to hide and hide. If nothing went wrong, tonight would be an unavoidable killing spree.
Ye Cheng followed the killer like a rabbit, bringing peony along with him and arrived at the rocky layer above the mountain landslide. They followed the mountain path until they arrived at the cave entrance, which was still relatively dry.
However, from a higher vantage point, one could still see some clues. The village was not completely covered up, and there were also a few eaves exposed. If one wanted to enter the village to investigate, they could take a detour and enter from the back.
But there was an inconspicuous dent in the middle of the village, probably caused by traces of some small explosive that had been filled with mudslides, which proved that the nurse was not lying.
"I say, Long. You are truly lucky. I thought you would be like that. Also, there's your master. That word is truly tragic!" He asked Ye Cheng for a cigarette, and started smoking. He then sat down on the ground and washed himself, and started to shout the fate of the scenery outside. Following that, he shot a glance at the peony. Yo, I brought a female Taoist this time, what good luck. "
"If you want to live a few more years, then shut up. She's a Demon Catcher, and her pockets are full of ferocious beasts."
The nurse rubbed her nose and stopped talking. For a Demon catcher, if you let a little kid out to follow him, you would never have to turn your back for the rest of your life.
"Taoist, why did you come back after you left?" Who was that person? What were they digging? Was he a treasure trove? What happened in the coffin shop before, why did the old craftsman's family die? And how did you survive? Why didn't your master come with you?
In one breath, he asked a lot of questions. The nurse kept spouting nonstop, ignoring the feelings of others.
"Assassin!"
"Ah, murder to silence everyone? "Then you have to save me, the person who came to pick you up already said, if I didn't treat your wounds properly, you would have just that. So, if you save me again, I won't ask for compensation from you guys anymore." The nurse grabbed Ye Cheng's hand and stared at him lovingly.1
"I'm here to kill you too!"
