"What!" Shen Lingxue and the others were instantly shocked.
Are you sure you're not... misperceiving?
"My senses are infallible."
“Fang Xiu, if it’s really as you say, then this monster is most likely a B-level monster. This is something we can’t handle at all. The best thing to do now is to report to the Investigation Bureau and wait for assistance,” Shen Lingxue said in a deep voice.
Fang Xiu glanced at her: "How many spirit masters does the Investigation Bureau have in total? A dozen or twenty? And how many of them are novices? With this number of people, how long do you think it will take for the higher-ups to send someone to handle all the strange incidents in Green Vine City?"
"Even if the higher-ups can't send reinforcements right now, the best course of action is to go back. I absolutely will not allow you to take any risks!"
Upon hearing this, the chubby guy, who was unaware of the situation, kept glancing between the two with a sly look, and even whispered to Zhao Hao, "Hey, I have a feeling that there's something going on between these two. Shen Lingxue is obviously more than just concerned about Fang Xiu."
Knowing the inside story, Zhao Hao didn't say anything, but just rolled his eyes.
Fang Xiu naturally wouldn't listen to Shen Lingxue's advice. Although Blackwater Village was very eerie, he felt he could handle it.
When facing something strange, unless you encounter one with a huge power gap that you can't beat no matter how many times you die and reload, like your wife.
He would only choose to retreat temporarily; otherwise, he would have fought to the bitter end, until his death.
He has already died twice in Blackwater Village, and he must avenge this death!
"Ritian, take Fatty away. I have something to say to Shen Lingxue alone."
"Okay, Hugh."
Zhao Hao responded and pulled the fat man to the side.
The fat man had an "I knew it" look on his face. "I knew you two were having an affair."
After the two left, Fang Xiu calmly said, "There's no need to report to the higher-ups; I already foresaw the outcome."
Shen Lingxue looked at him in surprise: "What was the ending?"
"Naturally, it was a great victory, and the Blackwater Village incident was successfully resolved."
"Are you sure?" Shen Lingxue asked doubtfully, because she recalled Fang Xiu's performance during the mental pollution test.
Fang Xiu is the kind of person who would risk his life to kill the supernatural.
"Has my prediction ever been wrong even once so far?"
"Hmm... I didn't miss it, but..."
"There's no 'but' about it. You only have one life. If I weren't absolutely certain, do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't care about my life?"
These words touched Shen Lingxue. Indeed, in her eyes, Fang Xiu was definitely the kind of person who was always calm in the face of adversity, never impulsive, and always planned carefully before acting.
Sometimes, even as a seasoned spirit master, I have to admit that my mental fortitude is somewhat worse than Fang Xiu's.
At that moment, Shen Lingxue noticed the large barrel full of gasoline out of the corner of her eye. She suddenly realized something and blurted out, "You didn't buy gasoline to... set the village on fire, did you?"
Fang Xiu nodded and said calmly, "That's right, Blackwater Village no longer has any reason to exist."
After Fang Xiu finished speaking, he didn't give Shen Lingxue any time to decide and turned to leave.
"Hey, you..."
Shen Lingxue opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, mainly because Fang Xiu's actions were always too... too unexpected.
This was the first time she had ever seen a spirit master resolve a strange incident in this way.
They hid in the river, so they drained it; the village was full of their treacherous slaves, so they set it on fire. These methods were truly astonishing.
......
......
Meanwhile, in a secluded grove near Blackwater Village.
The male and female travelers who had appeared earlier, wearing windbreakers, were now kneeling on the ground, their expressions blank and their eyes lifeless.
If they acted like humans before, they now seem like two manipulated puppets.
Before them stood a glamorous woman wearing a mink coat over a burgundy dress.
The burgundy dress was very long, but so was the slit, revealing glimpses of a long, slender, fair leg.
The woman in the burgundy dress looked thoughtfully at the two kneeling on the ground.
"We finally managed to get the two of you puppets to leave seeds in the special operations team. We thought we could control them to kill Shen Lingxue and the others in the chaos. But we didn't expect that kid named Fang Xiu to just send the special operations team back."
Was it unintentional? Or was someone aware of it?
Regardless, Fang Xiu is no simple man. Since the bronze candlestick is on him, it means Lin Ziyang was most likely killed by him. To possess the strength to kill Lin Ziyang, yet only be a newly promoted Spirit Master, he must have secrets.
As she spoke, the woman in the wine-red dress sighed, "Oh, my life is so miserable. I thought I could deal with them soon, but now I have to find another opportunity. How much longer will I have to stay in these deep mountains and forests?"
Why don't you tell me, why can't Fang Xiu and the others just obediently die?
She asked the two people kneeling on the ground, but they remained motionless and silent, like wooden statues.
"You two are really angry right now, come over here and let me calm down."
"Yes, Master." The two replied stiffly, and then the woman stood up and walked towards the woman in the wine-red dress.
Thump!
The woman knelt down on the ground, supporting herself with her hands and knees, her back parallel to the ground, like a human chair.
The woman in the burgundy dress gracefully smoothed the back of her dress, letting it cling to her hips, before gently sitting down.
After she finished, she spread her legs, revealing a long, smooth, and beautiful leg from the slit in her skirt.
At this moment, the man who had been kneeling on the ground made a move. He raised his head and crawled towards the woman step by step.
It looked like they were trying to crawl through a dog hole.
......
......
Time quickly came to nine o'clock in the evening.
Fang Xiu and his men hid on the outskirts of Blackwater Village under the cover of night.
He didn't choose to act during the day because it would be too easy to be discovered, so he deliberately waited until night, after the villagers had all gone back to their houses to sleep, before making his move.
There aren't many recreational activities in the mountains, and the villagers go to bed early and get up early. By 9 a.m., there are hardly any people out and about.
"Split up and pour gasoline over the entire village," Fang Xiu ordered.
"Okay, Hugh."
Zhao Hao and his accomplices each carried two cans of gasoline and began their operation under the cover of night.
Fang Xiu wasn't idle either; he also joined in, pouring oil everywhere.
This weirdo likes to perform, doesn't it? Well then, here's a grand fire show for you.
An hour later, it was ten o'clock.
The houses in the entire Blackwater Village were covered in gasoline, but fortunately it was cold in the mountains, so the gasoline didn't evaporate too quickly.
"Chen Lingxue, light the fire."
