Chapter 595 Puppet Substitute

Seeing this unpredictable elder brother again after a month was still quite a shock to everyone.

Those who were less timid instinctively hid behind Ye Wanxi, while those like Li Weiming who were barely able to stay calm subconsciously gripped their amulets tightly, just in case.

Ye Wanxi stared at him for a while, then tentatively called out, "Lu, Zhe, Yan?"

"Lu, Zhe, Yan?" The figure not far away repeated almost subconsciously, then frowned slightly, as if he had been stung by something.

Ye Wanxi's eyes lit up slightly upon seeing this: "Yes, that's your name. Do you remember it?"

"Name, courtesy name, Lu Zheyan?"

Yes. Do you remember?

“It seems…” Lu Zheyan frowned, as if he was struggling with something.

Li Weiming and the others also became anxious.

"I forgot."

Everyone: "..." Can you please stop panting so much!

Ye Wanxi's expression grew even more serious upon hearing his words. Logically speaking, if the memory loss was caused by a long period of time, a little prompting at key points would easily resonate with the memory and restore it.

But the person in front of me is clearly in a much more serious condition.

Ye Wanxi thought for a moment and continued to probe: "They checked some news reports about you and confirmed your identity and the cause of your death."

Lu Zheyan's empty eyes seemed to finally show a glimmer of life: "Cause of death?"

"Yes, you drowned. Two other girls fell into the water at the same time as you." Ye Wanxi paused for a moment, then decided to take drastic measures.

"These two girls were rescued after you drowned. In their statements and media interviews afterward, they claimed that they did not know you at all and that they fell into the water together because you sexually harassed them and that their struggles led to the tragedy."

As soon as Ye Wanxi said this, everyone keenly felt the indoor temperature drop several degrees, making them shiver. They instinctively looked around to find something that could help block the cold.

"Miss Ye!" Li Weiming's exclamation drew everyone's attention back to Ye Wanxi and Lu Zheyan.

This sight was shocking; many people's expressions changed.

Lu Zheyan's skin, which had been relatively normal, turned deathly pale in an instant, and his face suddenly became ferocious and terrifying.

Of course, the most frightening thing was the sudden dripping of water droplets under his clothes and the billowing black mist behind him that almost materialized.

"Lie! Lie!"

Seeing this, Ye Wanxi wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she asked curiously, "You're saying they're lying? What lies did they tell? Are the two of them the enemies you're talking about? What exactly happened that night?"

The questions Ye Wanxi asked in succession were naturally also the questions that Li Weiming and the others were curious about.

However, Lu Zheyan did not remember everything and answer the question as they had hoped.

Instead, he was enveloped in a murderous aura and turned to leave.

"Oh no, he's trying to find someone!" Ye Wanxi's expression changed slightly, and her hand moved accordingly, sending several barrier talismans directly towards the windowsill behind Lu Zheyan.

Lu Zheyan is single-mindedly focused on revenge, which is true, but he is clearly mentally deficient now. If he really finds his enemies and kills them, he will most likely become a vengeful ghost, stained with blood and karma.

When that time comes, even the extremely faint golden light of merit on his body will probably not be able to protect him.

Even his fragile soul, comparable to glass or porcelain, could shatter into dust under the corrosive influence of the evil energy, his soul scattered and his spirit dispersed.

Because of those few strands of golden light of merit, Ye Wanxi did not think that Lu Zheyan was the kind of person in the news reports, and she was also curious about what the long-buried truth was.

At this point, it's impossible to let Lu Zheyan go and seek his own death.

Sizzle—

Lu Zheyan's soul collided with the barrier and was bounced back.

Although he didn't suffer any real harm, the situation clearly enraged him, causing him to be controlled by resentment and turn around to pounce on Ye Wanxi and the others.

In an instant, screams erupted from inside the house.

At that very moment, on the rooftop of the central residential building in the Wangchuan Community, a figure dressed entirely in black skillfully manipulated his hands against the evening breeze.

From a distance, it looks rather strange, but if you look closely, you will find that the fingertips of the person's moving fingers are wrapped with a transparent thread that looks like a hair.

"Got you?"

With a sigh, the man in black keenly sensed the danger that had suddenly appeared behind him and hurriedly dodged to the side.

Even so, he was still cut on the cheek and arm by the sharp sword intent that came rushing in.

But what's even more surprising is that not a drop of blood came out of the wound.

Upon seeing this, Feng Tianyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand to release several more sword energies.

The man in black seemed to have realized from the previous exchange that he was no match for Feng Tianyu, and dared not confront him head-on. He turned and tried to run away.

Feng Tianyu had finally managed to track this person's movements, so how could he let him get away so easily?

The sword intents that were originally intended only to incapacitate him suddenly became sharper, even tinged with a hint of killing intent.

If the man in black truly possessed the fighting power to rival Fengtian Domain, he wouldn't be hiding everywhere, choosing instead to remain in the shadows and engage in these shady dealings.

Faced with Feng Tianyu's relentless pursuit, the man in black had almost no power to resist.

It fell freely from mid-air back onto the rooftop with a dull thud.

Before he could struggle to his feet again, Feng Tianyu stepped on his shoulder and asked coldly, "Who are you? What are you trying to do by going to such lengths to create this commotion?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the man in black suddenly opened his mouth wide at Feng Tianyu, and a venomous snake formed from black mist instantly lunged straight at Feng Tianyu's face.

Feng Tianyu's expression changed slightly. He raised his hand and pinched the head of the black venomous snake, crushing it forcefully. The snake let out a shrill cry and instantly disintegrated.

At the same time, the man in black who was being trampled under his feet also breathed his last.

Feng Tianyu undoubtedly won this duel, but he felt no joy at all.

He misjudged the man in black's identity, failing to realize that he was not only a living dead, but also...

"Puppet double".

Feng Tianyu possessed the black-clad man and removed a jet-black ring from his right hand. Instantly, a nauseating stench, like that of a sewer, wafted out.

Feng Tianyu narrowed his eyes, exerted a little force with his fingertips, and with a clang, the ring shattered into sand.

Having completely lost its support, the black-clad puppet decomposed into dust in an instant, leaving only its empty black robes.

At Li Weiming's house, Ye Wanxi, who had effortlessly subdued Lu Zheyan, looked up at the window as if sensing something. She felt something flash by, but couldn't grasp it.
