Chapter 72: Night of Terror (Please read it today)
"Excuse me, Miss Yuyan."
Yi Chen politely bowed slightly to the girl in white in front of him and watched her leave.
The one whom Yi Chen called Miss Yuyan was the one who came out to receive them in the mansion.
Just as the girl in white was about to step out of the door, Yi Chen suddenly flashed and blocked her way.
"There is still one thing I want to ask Miss Yuyan."
"Master, please speak."
"Girl, are you sure that besides servants and parents, you don't have any older brothers or younger brothers?"
"Maybe you have forgotten something." Yi Chen asked in a flat tone.
"Why do you say that, Taoist priest? My parents only gave birth to me in all these years. They wanted a boy, but they never got pregnant. Later, they gave up the idea as they got older."
Miss Yuyan's eyes widened and her tone sounded a little surprised. She seemed very surprised that Yi Chen would ask such a question.
"Haha, I'm just asking casually, but girls should still be careful at night. If you remember anything or encounter anything strange, just shout for help."
"I will come quickly."
Yi Chen glanced at the exposed hands of the girl in white and said with a smile.
This made the girl in white, who was a little nervous, feel relieved.
The tall Taoist suddenly stood in front of her and asked her some strange questions, which scared her a little.
Compared with the people from Zhen'an Division, she still liked the other group of people living in the side hall more, especially the young man in white holding a sword, who had a handsome face, a tall figure, and a charming smile. She was still unmarried, and it would be great if she could marry him and be together forever.
Alas, it’s a pity that he seems to have a junior sister.
What a slutty fox, sticking to her senior brother like a follower every day.
Miss Yuyan thanked him and ran out of the hall at the drop of a hat. It was late at night and the dew was cold. She had to ask the young man in white if he wanted an extra blanket. Hehe~ She felt sorry for giegie too. The boudoir novels she read every day were all played out like this, childhood sweethearts could not defeat the one who came from the sky, and since ancient times, most junior sisters were losers, and everyone would just have to rely on their own methods at that time.
Thinking of this, she straightened her chest and walked faster.
"Master, have you found anything?"
The one who spoke this time was a small flagman under Captain Lin, named Niu Da. He came over and couldn't help asking.
Hearing his question, everyone in the hall turned their eyes to Yi Chen's face.
Yi Chen added a piece of charcoal to the brazier in the hall, causing countless sparks to rise up and then suddenly go out.
After doing all this, he turned his gaze to the crowd.
"Don't you think it's a bit strange?"
"That girl Yuyan just now said she was the only daughter of the owner of this mansion, but her hands looked a little rough, as if she had done too much rough work."
“Although the clothes are in good condition, you can see traces of starching and folding, as if the owner of the clothes took great care of them.”
"This is not like the behavior of a young lady."
Yi Chen told his doubts.
"Maybe it's because Miss Yuyan is not spoiled and is frugal? Or maybe it's because Miss Yuyan likes to wield spears and sticks?"
"Girls, sometimes it feels better if your hands are a little rough. I like rough hands. They're exciting."
Xiaoqi Niu Da suddenly started making faces and spoke.
As soon as these words were spoken, the foreigners sitting on the floor in the hall burst into laughter, and some bolder ones even started to tease.
"Boss, is this why you always order a brothel owner every time you go to Tianxiang Pavilion?"
"Boss is right, old ginger is the best for cooling down heat, a little rough is better."
….For a moment, the hall began to be filled with a joyful atmosphere, sweeping away the previous gloomy and depressing atmosphere.
Yi Chen couldn't help but laugh.
The Zhen'an Division is indeed full of talented people, and Niu Da is also a talent.
People who are not in the game may think that this person's words are inappropriate and inappropriate in the occasion. Only those who have truly led a team and have leadership experience know that this kind of person is the real backbone.
With just a few words, the previously gloomy and depressing atmosphere was revitalized. No matter how sophisticated the other person's methods were, as long as they worked, it was fine.
Stress needs to be released.
In a team, if there is a role to release, there must be a role to collect.
If Xiaoqi Niu Da was the one who released it.
Then Captain Lin was the one who was captured.
Seeing that the atmosphere had become much more relaxed, he clapped his hands gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Everyone, stop making a fuss and listen to what the Taoist priest has to say first."
After clearing his throat, Yi Chen continued to talk about the doubts he had discovered bit by bit.
"First of all, there are many small animal carcasses outside Yangjiawu Fort."
"These chickens, ducks, cats, and mice either had their heads exploded or their eyes popped out and bled from all their orifices."
"What force has corrupted them?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Why did he die like this?"
"Why didn't the pigs, cattle, sheep and other large livestock in Yangjiawu Fort die or escape?"
"Everyone has seen the strange behavior of the residents in Yangjiawu Fort today. Although no evil energy was detected in them, I want to remind everyone here."
"Don't use your old way of thinking to speculate on the strange things that happened in Yangjiawubao this time."
"The bloody meteor phenomenon is unprecedented. This is a change."
"No abnormality does not mean there is no problem. The exorcism talisman is not omnipotent. Maybe it's just that a certain special time node has not arrived yet."
Time moved forward a little bit, and the night seemed to become even darker.
Yi Chen threw another piece of charcoal into the brazier in the hall, and then said quietly: "Everyone, what is the difference between humans and pigs, cows, sheep and horses?"
"Do you think there will be no living people left in the entire Yangjiawu Fort? At a certain moment, it will show its fangs."
"So, no one is allowed to act alone tonight. If you want to sleep, just sleep on the floor in the hall. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"Don't say I didn't warn you."
After Yi Chen finished speaking, he chuckled and stopped talking. He began to close his eyes and rest. He had said everything that should and should not be said. If they really encountered an unstoppable danger, then everyone should not blame him, Taoist Yichengzi, for being so quick.
The night is getting deeper.
The people in the hall might be sleepy, or they might be frightened by Yi Chen's speculation. At first, some people were whispering, but later even the whispering disappeared, leaving only the crackling sound of charcoal cracking in the brazier in the hall.
At this moment, there was a sudden crackling sound.
Everyone in the hall was awakened and opened their eyes.
Some of the soldiers with stronger stress reactions even drew their swords, while others put their hands on the kettles beside them with the corks already pulled out. A faint smell of blood was flowing out of them, the smell of black dog blood.
That’s right, even in the Zhen’an Division, except for Xiaoqi, the ordinary guards have not cultivated magical powers. They are just more alert than ordinary martial arts masters, and the weapons in their hands are more professional.
"Martha, what are you doing?"
Captain Lin frowned and shouted at the tall soldier who made the sound.
"Captain, I... I have to pee... I have wanted to pee whenever I am nervous since I was a child..." This tall man was the one who had teased Xiaoqi Niu Da before.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqi Niu Da's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a muffled voice, "Sir, I will go with him."
Captain Lin thought for a moment, nodded and reminded: "Don't go to the toilet, just go to the small garden outside the corner and solve it. Go quickly and come back soon."
Amid Marta's embarrassment and gratitude, the two brothers Niu and Ma opened the door of the living room and disappeared outside.
Five minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed.
The two have not returned yet.
