C38 Escape injury
As expected, many people did not dare move, as if they were afraid of Jiang Huaige.
As Mo Xian watched from upstairs, a few people had already withdrawn their steps. She sighed lightly, she really did not have much courage, since they all planned to rush out at once, and were not even on the same page, how could she win against Jiang Huaige?
This woman, who was not simple at all, had won over the three muscular men.
Someone in the crowd didn't give up, "Boss Jiang, even if we all rush out together, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop many people!"
"Then let's give it a try." Jiang Huaige agreed immediately.
But no one moved, "Didn't we already say that? A useless bastard! " The man who asked the question cursed in embarrassment.
He rushed out, and before he even reached the door, he heard the sound of a sharp sword. The man's arm was in great pain, and blood was slowly flowing out.
Mo Xian never thought that the one who would slash at people would be the round-faced yamen. Looking at them, she felt that something was amiss.
The way they looked at people was ice-cold. They didn't seem like they were looking at living beings at all.
"As yamen, you dare to randomly cut people?!" The man whose arm had been cut was bleeding profusely. His face was pale and ashen. A kind-hearted person from the crowd came forward to bind him up.
"Not to mention hacking, even if I were to kill all of you, no one would dare to act rashly. "All of you are hindering the official office. This crime alone is enough." The yamen with a long face replied.
The crowd's desire surged, but in the end, they were scared off by his words.
The entire Penglai Inn was like a dead shop, with no one making a sound.
Mo Xian also had the thought of going out, but she wanted to find out more about the Penglai Inn. The things she could find inside were too limited.
However, how should he get out?
She sat in Qi Huaizhao's room and subconsciously drank a cup of tea.
"You drank my tea." The man was there, mercilessly piercing through.
Mo Xian silently put it back, and scolded Qi Huaizhao a hundred times in his heart, would he die if he was given some face?
"Since you've finished your tea, hurry up and tell me." This girl had her own room, so she didn't want to go back. She had to stick to him.
"I came to talk business with you." Mo Xian regained his composure, "I think a person will die. The conditions for death that he triggered, might be the person with blood on his hands."
"When the knife scar and Master Luo died, I don't know if there was anyone who had blood on their hands, but Liniang's body was eaten by the black shadow."
This blood was the mark of the next victim!
"If you want to be sure, wait until someone dies tonight." Qi Huaizhao said coldly.
Mo Xian rolled her eyes at him, "Wuqing, we must definitely find that person and take this opportunity to capture the one who is causing all of this. No matter if it's a human or a ghost, I want him to be turned into ashes!"
Qi Huaizhao did not speak, and only said after a long while: "It's already night, let's go back and sleep." He was actually chasing them away.
Mo Xian lifted his head and looked at his face, he did not seem to be very angry, so he continued to shamelessly sit there, until the tavern emitted a blood-curdling scream.
Mo Xian rushed out with big strides, while Qi Huaizhao followed after him leisurely.
Mo Xian was instantly shocked. In the center of the first floor was a person standing at the banquet area. In the dim light of the lamp, the blade in his hand carried a sharp, white light.
He slashed at his own neck again and again with his sabers. There was a thick spray of blood, and after about a dozen cuts, the man's neck was broken. He saw white bones mixed with scarlet flesh and human skin.
Everyone was so shocked that they forgot to go up and stop him. However, it was too late now.
The man's blood flowed back into his throat with a gurgling sound.
He's crazy!
Some of the people who came out of the inn were timid and fainted at a glance. Some of them went back to their rooms in panic, but the sounds of the knife hitting their necks still echoed in their ears.
They were all going crazy together! His nerves could no longer withstand any sort of stimulation!
Mo Xian saw that in the end, the blade had cut into his arteries. Blood was like a stream of water that directly splashed out, and when he leaned backwards, she could finally see his face.
When the shop waiter died, his face was filled with a satisfied smile.
With a "boom" sound, Mo Xian suddenly remembered that when they went to move Li Niang's body this morning, the waiter in the shop probably had blood on his hands.
Was the blood of these people really a medium? Is it a condition? Is it an identification?
Then, had someone been hit by the splash just now?
Mo Xian's attention was completely focused on the store waiter, so she did not notice it. She remembered that Qi Huaizhao was still standing behind him, and immediately turned around and pulled him back, "Qi Huaizhao, did you see who the last drop of blood splashed onto?"
Shocked cries rang out from the surroundings. She couldn't tell who had been drenched in blood.
But Qi Huaizhao slowly shook his head, "The lights are too dim, I can't see anyone. Perhaps no one will get involved, so don't worry. "
It was already the fourth day, and there was no clue at all. How could she not worry? Could it be that the entire inn would die and she would be killed as well?
Mo Xian immediately made a decision in his heart.
The night was not a peaceful one. Everyone eventually went back to their rooms, but whether they could sleep or not was another matter.
Mo Xian also returned to her room. She had been sitting by the table the entire time, her cold gaze resting on the corner, her pitch black eyes unable to reflect anything.
She waited until the fourth fragment of the night, when someone knocked on the bronze gong before she opened the window and jumped down. The second floor wasn't very high, so when she jumped down, she was safe and sound.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, there was actually no one guarding, Mo Xian's heart had been hanging in his throat the entire time, he did not dare to relax.
There was a thick fog at night, and there was no light in the dark sky.
Mo Xian looked at the two old red lanterns by the door and walked in the opposite direction. When Jiang Huaige had brought her here, he had followed this path.
After walking in the darkness for a while, Mo Xian finally realized that something was wrong. She seemed to be lost again, and after walking for a while, she still went around where she was, because she could still see the red light shining from the lanterns that were as red as two old lanterns.
There was indeed something strange about the Penglai Inn, Mo Xian was certain of it once again.
She wanted to destroy those two terrifying red lanterns, so she pinched a Yellow Talisman in her hand and used cinnabar beans to write a fire curse. However, before she could hit the red lanterns, she was blocked by the black shadow in the fog.
The ghost monster screamed and rushed towards Mo Xian.
She watched and kept on retreating. This was probably the shadow that Liniang saw that night, it's attack power was strong, it could swallow a rock in one gulp, but its movements were very slow. Mo Xian had taken advantage of this to avoid being in a sorry state.
However, this spell was useless against it. Before it could even touch its body, it would devour it in one gulp.
Mo Xian's back felt a chill, and she subconsciously dodged. Indeed, a ghost with a huge mouth was standing behind her, and its bloodied face was continuously dripping with dark, stinky blood.
The two ghosts attacked her from the front and back. She hastily used her spiritual sense to search the storehouse. "Open the gift pack!"
"The gift pack is opened. Congratulations, you have obtained a skintight set of clothes."
Mo Xian gritted his teeth, what the hell was this? Was the System trying to play her to death?
She no longer counted on the items in the storehouse. She obviously had gold coins after completing the mission, but she had forgotten to buy something. She had to wait for the Demon Catcher Shop to appear.
Once again, the shadow pounced at her with its mouth wide open. She flicked her leg, dodging the attack. She wanted to kick it, but found that the shadow was too soft and could be easily swallowed if she wasn't careful.
Just as Mo Xian landed on the left boulder, another one came at him from behind. The blood from the Ghost-wielding ghost was like sulfuric acid, corroding the ground with a "zi ci" sound.
Mo Xian felt that this Ghost-wielding ghost was extremely disgusting. She didn't want to get any closer to it, as she was afraid that its blood would splash onto her.
She quickly took out the Yellow Talisman, and quickly patted it on the back.
Mo Xian never thought that his own Runes would be so useful outside the tavern, he was so excited that he wanted to give the grinning ghost a few more bites.
However, the strange shadow attacked again, almost swallowing one of her arms. Fortunately, it was fast.
After a very long period of interaction, Mo Xian's stamina gradually depleted, and he only felt that something was wrong. His arm was caught off guard, and after a bite from the strange shadow, a bloody gash appeared on it.
Mo Xian leapt forward, while the other two monsters followed from behind. Just as the two ghosts were about to pounce on her, a powerful arm dragged her out, placing her on top of them, the two ghosts instantly opened their mouths and swallowed the Spirit Demon beings.
It can't distinguish between friend or foe?
Mo Xian was shocked to the core. He raised his eyes in shock and saw Qi Huaizhao dressed in white.
The man's usually beautiful face was surrounded by mist. In the dark night, one could only see the slight tightening of his jaw, which exuded a cold aura.
"Let's go!"
Taking advantage of when the strange shadow was still digesting the Spirit Demon, Qi Huaizhao shouted coldly and jumped Mo Xian back into the Penglai Inn.
Mo Xian did not expect that after being tossed around for so long, she had still returned to her original position. Only after calming down did she realize the pain in her arm.
Qi Huaizhao turned his back on her, and without saying a word, he tore off his own clothes and sprinkled some unknown powder on her arm.
"Just bear with it." he whispered.
The yellow candlelight softened his cold face.
"You, do you like me?" Mo Xian whispered.
Qi Huaizhao raised her head upon hearing her, and looked straight into her eyes, but she could not see a single hint of emotion from them.
Alright, I was just thinking too much.
But why was his heart depressed.
"Mo Xian, before you take action in the future, use your brain and don't act on your own. Qi Huaizhao's tone was a little heavy.
This was the first time Mo Xian heard his angry voice after knowing him for so long.
She wanted to open her mouth and say yes, but then she thought about why she was reporting her whereabouts to him. They weren't really that close.
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and did not speak.
