His eyes were wide open, and he looked like he had seen something incredible.
"Hey, who are you trying to scare with those two eyes?"
"Well, well, look..."
Following the direction pointed by his companion, the constable walking in front slowly turned his head and saw a bloody figure slowly crawling out from the deck. Every time it struggled, a pool of blood would appear on the ground.
Smooth red tentacles grew out of the blood, swaying in the wind.
"Run! What are you still looking at!"
The first constable reacted instantly, turned around and ran towards the ladder, and the second constable also reacted immediately when he saw his companion's behavior.
But at the same time as these two men took action, the bloody shadow that crawled out from the deck also moved.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Tentacles shot out and in the blink of an eye pierced through the bodies of the two constables who had not run far. They were riddled with holes and died instantly.
The blood shadow came to the corpse of a constable and drilled directly into his body. The man began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned completely into a piece of human skin.
As for the other constable's corpse, with the coordination of many tentacles, a complete human skin was peeled off intactly.
As dozens of tentacles condensed into a giant arm and threw it forcefully towards the deck, the skinless bloody corpse was firmly stuck to the wall.
Swish!
The blood shadow suddenly dissipated, and everything returned to its original state, except for two more human skins on the ground and a skinless bloody corpse on the wall.
…
When Qin Yuesheng arrived at the dock, he found that there were many more people from the government office here, and the location where the Qin family's cargo ship was docked was firmly controlled by the constables, and ordinary people could not get close at all.
"Have you noticed? It seems like more and more constables are coming. Just now there were only about thirty, but now there are almost fifty."
"Yes, several high-ranking officials from the government office just arrived and are all on board."
Qin Yuesheng asked the coachman to go back to the house first, and he squeezed into the crowd and found a constable who was in charge of guarding the forbidden line.
"You, don't come over. Non-government personnel are not allowed to approach here." Seeing that Qin Yuesheng was about to force his way in, the constable immediately shouted.
"Is the governor here? I know him. If you report him, he will let me in."
The constable looked at Qin Yuesheng suspiciously. How could this young boy know the prefect? Could he be lying?
Qin Yuesheng guessed what he was thinking and said, "If you don't believe me, why not report it? Otherwise, if things get delayed, you won't be able to bear the responsibility."
The constable thought Qin Yuesheng's words made sense, so he said, "Stay here and don't cross the forbidden line. I'll be back soon."
Qin Yuesheng said, "Don't forget to tell the governor that my name is Qin Yuesheng."
…
"How do you all do things? The governor is such a big man, and you can just throw him away right under your noses? Waste, waste, waste."
The city defense captain shouted angrily while standing on the deck.
Standing in front of him were Xing Biao and a group of detectives.
As the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official. In front of the city defense captain, even Xing Biao, the head of the police, could only swallow his anger and bow his head to endure the scolding, but he had already retorted thousands of words in his heart.
The captain of the city defense was named Xiang Quan, a big and strong man with a dark face and a fierce look. When he started scolding people, his voice was like the roar of thunder, which made people's heads buzz.
The official Xu Jin, who was standing nearby, couldn't bear to listen any longer and had to come out to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright, stop yelling. The most important thing right now is to find the master." Xu Jin asked Xing Biao, "Tell me more about what happened and how the master was captured."
Xing Biao raised his head and smiled bitterly, "Sir, I really didn't see it. It was just a blink of an eye, and you were gone. No one saw what happened at all."
Xiang Quan touched his beard helplessly: "This matter is quite strange. It seems that I have to ask Lord Bai to take a look."
Xu Jin: "Master Bai has been out for two days. Now we don't even know where he is. Where are you going to invite him?"
"I can't just sit there like this. If all else fails, I'll go find the Taoist priests at Xiqi Mountain Temple, or the monks at Hanshan Temple. There's always someone who can..."
"My lords, there is a young man outside who wants to see the prefect. He says he knows the prefect." Suddenly, a constable ran up from the wooden ladder and interrupted Xiang Quan.
This guy was already in a state of irritation, and when he heard someone was looking for Xun Sheng and boasting about their acquaintance, he immediately became furious: "Where did this charlatan come from? Get him out of here right away."
The constable was stunned and could only respond, "Yes, I will go right away, but sir, he said his name is Qin Yuesheng."
"Um?!"
Xu Jin's eyes lit up instantly, and he shouted quickly, "Quick! Go and invite this gentleman over."
