Qin Yuqing unexpectedly transmigrated into a toxic novel and became its female lead, binding herself to an Empress Sys...
Chapter 101 Double update of confession letter and departure for Bizhou
Yao Yu listened to Qin Yuqing's words in a trance, but he still couldn't believe that Asheng was really such a person.
Lu Jiu brought Xiao Wu over, saluted Qin Yuqing, and stood aside.
"There's no need to doubt yourself because of what I said." Qin Yuqing glanced at Yao Yu and continued, "I'm an outsider. I'm just saying this so you can think carefully before making a decision."
"What's the situation?" Qin Yuqing looked at Lu Jiu and asked.
Lu Jiu looked around, then pointed at a corpse leaning on a chair not far away and said, "This is the Fifth Master of Wuling City."
"We arrived in time, and no one touched the body."
Qin Yuqing nodded. She glanced at Lu Jingchuan and saw that he nodded at her, so the two of them approached the corpse together.
"Princess, be careful." Chuntao spoke, always staying by Qin Yuqing's side.
Although the deer was a little scared, it still followed Qin Yuqing and approached the corpse.
She kept telling herself in her heart that she had to be brave and not let the oracle's scene happen.
Xiao Wu was a little surprised to see Xiao Lu's actions, but she was his sister after all, so he followed her closely. As long as his sister showed a frightened expression, he would take her away first.
Park Qinghe stood next to Lu Jiu, and the two of them stood at the door, showing a protective posture.
There were two deep wounds on the fifth man's right wrist, and the ground was covered with sticky blood, which seemed to have flowed from his wrists.
But when Qin Yuqing looked closely, she inexplicably felt that it was not the case. There was something wrong with the state of death of the five adults.
Perhaps out of curiosity, Qin Yuqing slowly approached the fifth adult. At this moment, she smelled a familiar scent, and the next moment her eyes met Lu Jingchuan's.
"The smell of soapberry." Qin Yuqing looked at Lu Jingchuan and whispered, "In the capital, the death of the Imperial Preceptor also smells like this."
Lu Jingchuan nodded, half squatted down, and sure enough, he saw spurting blood on the back edge of the table and on the ground.
Following Lu Jingchuan's gaze, Qin Yuqing naturally noticed the strangeness on the table and the ground, and then looked at the five adults leaning on the chairs.
"I'm sorry, we need to verify something." Qin Yuqing and Lu Jingchuan each took one side, trying to straighten the five adults' stiff bodies, but unfortunately they failed.
"Chun Tao, you and Park Qinghe, bring some hot water. The joints of the corpse are stiff. Forcibly straightening them will damage the corpse." Qin Yuqing picked up the handkerchief handed to him by Chun Tao and wiped his fingers carefully.
After a while, hot water was brought over. The hot water warmed the joints of the corpses, so at least they were still able to be moved. The five adults were barely forced to lie on the table.
"Jingchuan, do you think this looks familiar?" Qin Yuqing's fingers trembled slightly as she pointed to a particularly hidden spot behind the Fifth Master's ear. "This, is it the bug from Yanyun City?"
Qin Yuqing looked at Lu Jingchuan. Although she didn't know why, Qin Yuqing knew that Lu Jingchuan was very familiar with this disgusting thing.
"Yes and no." Lu Jingchuan reached out and gently pulled Qin Yuqing up. He took out a small dagger and gently cut Qin Yuqing's finger.
Bright red blood quickly gathered at his fingertips. Lu Jingchuan stretched out his hand and dipped it in the blood. With his other hand, he put the dagger aside, took out a handkerchief and handed it to Qin Yuqing.
"Wipe it, hold the dagger, and the bugs will run away."
Qin Yuqing nodded. At this time, she would not ask Lu Jingchuan why he did this. She just needed to understand and follow Lu Jingchuan's actions.
Before the blood from the fingertips even got close to the body of the fifth adult, the originally shriveled skin began to fill up again, and the fifth adult's face, which was pale to the point of blue, also became strangely rosy.
The deer covered its mouth in surprise. Even though it had seen many strange sights, it was still shocked by the scene before it.
Lu Jingchuan turned a blind eye, as if he had seen the same scene many times before. He just gently instructed Qin Yuqing: "Hold the dagger steady, this thing is coming out."
Qin Yuqing nodded, her heart a little flustered. The images of the people in Yanyun City who were parasitized kept echoing in her mind, and Qin Yuqing could not forget those people.
Just a short distance from Yanyun City to the Snow Mountain, the people were completely eaten and replaced by insects, and eventually faced death.
However, when Qin Yuqing saw Lu Jingchuan, her panicked heart instantly calmed down. The situation was different now. She would not watch innocent people die helplessly.
As Lu Jingchuan's fingertips approached, the changes in the five adults' bodies became more significant, especially at the moment when the blood from Lu Jingchuan's fingertips just touched the back of the five adults' bodies' ears.
There was only a "puff" sound, and then a huge, plump, blood-red insect opened its mouth full of white spots and sucked Lu Jingchuan's fingers hard.
"Now!" Lu Jingchuan bent his fingers downwards, and instantly exerted force on the side of his wrist, slapping the red bug.
Qin Yuqing raised the dagger and nailed the red bug to the floor. Lu Jingchuan took out a handkerchief from his arms, lit it on the candle, and then covered the red bug with it.
Like a newborn baby, the extremely shrill cry sounded again.
This time, it was more terrifying than any other time. The crying of the child continued to echo in the room, and the lingering sound echoed in everyone's ears.
At this moment, the window was suddenly opened, and Lu Jingchuan took out another dagger and threw it towards the window.
Along with Lu Jingchuan's dagger, there was also a dagger flowing with bright red blood, and both daggers fell in the same place.
Qin Yuqing and Lu Jingchuan looked at each other. The person with the scent of soapberry had finally arrived.
"If you don't want to die, go away." The man was wrapped in black, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. Even his voice seemed to be deliberately processed, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
Qin Yuqing drew the longbow from behind with her backhand, and placed the arrow on the string. She curled her lips slightly and said with a chuckle, "Brother Zaojiao, I'll still call you Sister Zaojiao. I finally caught you."
The long arrow shot upwards, and then countless mechanisms shot towards that person.
"Ignorance." The man snorted with disdain, and the mechanism passed through his body directly, and the man's body turned into black and gray smoke.
"You can't kill me now." The man walked step by step towards the handkerchief that was half ash and half intact, and gently picked up the half-dead insect on the ground.
The man was caressing the disgusting, evil insect almost lovingly, as if it were a pet.
The insect, which was about to die, soon regained new life in his hand, and looked at Qin Yuqing and his group with its fangs and claws bared.
In an instant, Qin Yuqing looked at the figure of this person, and she suddenly had a bold guess, a weird but extremely reasonable guess.
If this guess is correct, Qin Yuqing thought, she probably knows the underlying logic of this world.
"You are the mountain god of the southern Yanyun City, the guardian of the south, right?"
"Master Snow Mountain Mountain God."
