Chapter 71: Evil Residents and the Disappearing 'Big Man'

"What? You're not going in now? Are you still going to investigate outside?"

"Niubizi, you are so brave."

"If you delay the time to rescue my young lady, everyone in Yinlong Temple will be buried with my young lady. And you, Captain Lin, will also be in trouble."

The maid named Yueya jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She put her left hand on her waist, pointed at Yi Chen with her right hand, stood with her legs spread out like a compass, and shouted at Yi Chen excitedly.

Some people just can't recognize themselves.

Those who are close to power think they have power.

In fact, this is an illusion.

It's the same illusion as a supermarket cashier imagining that the entire supermarket can be supported by himself.

Not to mention that she was just the maid of the so-called Third Young Lady, even if the Third Young Lady stood in front of Yi Chen and said these words, he would not be able to keep this person.

Yi Chen chuckled and said nothing.

He grabbed the hair of the maid named Yueya and threw her directly into the low wall of Yangjiawu Fort, then wiped his hands on his Taoist robe in disgust.

Some people are afraid of the Cui family's punishment and do not take other people's lives seriously, so they deserve this retribution.

Wasn't she eager to save her master? Yi Chen sent her on her way.

If I sense any malice from her later, then considering that there is such a huge Yangjiawu Fortress and something strange happening, it is reasonable for a maid to die.

Captain Lin opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself, as if he felt that Yi Chen's attack was a bit too heavy, but in the end he said nothing.

Yi Chen smiled, patted Lin Baihu on the shoulder, and explained:

"Brother Lin, kindness does not lead to military success."

"This person was afraid of taking responsibility, so she rushed us in. A little maid just arrived and dared to interfere with our plan. I dare not imagine what she will do next."

"I am doing this for everyone's safety."

After saying that, Yi Chen said no more and turned around and walked towards the vicinity of Yangjiawu Fort.

"What are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear what Taoist Master Yi Chengzi just said? Three people will form groups and search around Yangjiawubao. Any abnormalities must be recorded."

Following Captain Lin's order, all the soldiers began to take action.

Yi Chen quickly searched the earth wall of Yangjiawu Fort, looking for possible clues.

Corpses sometimes speak.

Yi Chen paced back and forth to investigate while thinking about this strange thing.

If this incident is the result of the bloody meteor, then what is the most likely outcome? Confusion? Pollution? Alienation?

For a moment, Yi Chen’s mind was full of ideas and he began to speculate.

Not long after walking, Yi Chen discovered something unusual.

Corpses, hundreds of rat corpses, appeared beside the wall of Yangjiawu Fort.

Some of the rat corpses had bulging eyes and blood oozing from all their orifices, while others had half of their heads blown off.

The corpses were scattered around, giving people the feeling that this group of rats were fleeing.

"It seems that something extraordinary has really happened in Yangjiawu Fort."

"It's hard to even guess using common sense."

Looking at the numerous dead animals in front of him, Yi Chen became extremely alert.

He took a few steps back and continued walking around the low wall. At this moment, with his amazing eyesight, he discovered that on the roof of the largest and tallest building in the fortress, a blood-stained man was sitting on the roof with his back to him, dancing.

The man was wearing a white undershirt covered in blood.

At this moment, the big man sitting on the roof suddenly turned his head. His face was pale, and there were two holes in his eye sockets, making him look like the ghost in "The Conjuring". There was also a black round birthmark the size of a fist on his face.

"Master, have you found anything?"

Captain Lin's voice came from afar.

He came to look for Yi Chen.

Yi Chen turned to Captain Lin and said, "Brother Lin, look at the man sitting on the roof in front."

Captain Lin looked in the direction of Yi Chen's finger in confusion.

"Master, there's nothing on the roof. Where is the person?"

Hearing Captain Lin's words, Yi Chen suddenly turned around and looked in the direction he had just looked. The ghostly man disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the man he had seen before seemed like an illusion.

For a moment, Yi Chen's expression was uncertain and no one knew what he was thinking.

Soon everyone gathered together, and the guards of the Zhen'an Division also reported that they had found many dead bodies of small animals in the surrounding area, as if they were fleeing, including chickens, ducks, mice, and so on.

Following Yi Chen's suggestion, they sent people to the distant river to fetch drinking water, and then everyone set out to enter the fort.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and a group of people appeared from the horizon and rushed over quickly.

Captain Lin frowned and said to Yi Chen:

"It's the Third Miss's guards and the nearby Zoroastrians."

"I think the Third Miss's guards split into two groups and went to two different places to seek help."

The Zoroastrianism sect is a relatively large spiritual practice nearby. The people who came were a man and a woman, both dressed in white. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty, and both had a fire lotus tattooed on their chest. Judging from their aura, their cultivation was not bad, and they seemed to be similar to Taoist Qingxu.

Yi Chen took a quick glance and didn't take it seriously, since he was just a rookie after all.

A big noob is still a noob.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Compared to ordinary people, he should be able to leave his body intact after a full-strength attack, so there is nothing to worry about.

He asked Captain Lin to negotiate with those people, while he led a team of soldiers into the Yangjiawu Fort.

To Yi Chen's surprise, the Yangjiawu Fort was peaceful at this moment, as if nothing had happened.

The residents passing by all had faint smiles on their faces, and looked very peaceful, as if they were not affected at all by the missing persons incident last night.

Those who grow vegetables grow vegetables, those who pick mulberry leaves pick mulberry leaves, those who push carts to transport charcoal transport charcoal, and those who forge iron work.

Yangjiawubao is famous for selling ironware, including kitchen knives, hoes, machetes, and long swords. They sell everything and the sales are very good.

Especially the machete, which has the best sales volume and is very good at chopping down trees and people.

In the previous life, the one who used the knife for two purposes was Odebiao, who could chop bananas and people.

However, behind everything that is normal is the biggest abnormality.

For some reason, as he watched the people coming and going, each taking their own place, Yi Chen suddenly felt a sense of falsehood in his heart.

It feels like this group of people are like a group of puppets.

However, in his perception, these people had blood flowing in their bodies and were living people.

Evil nature, unspeakable evil nature.

When Yi Chen stopped a middle-aged man who was transporting coal and asked him if there was anyone with a fist-sized black round birthmark on his face in Yangjiawu Fort, the man shook his head like a rattle and said that he had lived here for decades and had never seen such a person.

After asking several people, they all gave the same answer, which made Yi Chen frown even more.

After instructing the soldiers not to eat the food or drink the water in the fort, he asked them to form groups of three to conduct a carpet search of the Yangjia Fort.

He didn't need to give too many instructions for the details. The soldiers of Zhen'an Division had their own rules and regulations. They were all experienced professionals. Although they were not cultivators, their martial arts were no worse than those of the Qingyuan Town Ji Group, and they had all the necessary equipment.

After a long search, everyone found nothing. All the residents in the dock were very cooperative and no clues were found.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Captain Lin walked over and said to Yi Chen. He felt a little scared at this moment. He could naturally see the strange behavior of the residents in the fortress.

For this purpose, he specially found a dozen people and slapped the exorcism talisman on them, but the talisman had no effect at all.

Yi Chen sighed.

"Assign half of the brothers to station outside. If we don't come out tomorrow, have them go back to report and call for reinforcements."

"Let's stay there tonight and see what kind of monsters are hidden in Yangjiawu Fort."

Looking in the direction of Yi Chen's finger, the house was the tallest and largest one in the center of Yangjiawu Fort.

It was also the place where he saw the "sneaky" who suddenly disappeared during the day.

Captain Lin nodded silently and went out to make arrangements immediately.

Tomorrow I will thank everyone for their monthly ticket support, and also ask for your continued reading.

I recommend you to only read the catch-up books on Tuesday. Please, even if you have to take a break, please read them tomorrow.

Thank you all fellow Taoists, see you tomorrow.
