Chapter 012 The Four
Jin Jian found the opportunity to leave after the loud noise. He did not dare to stop along the way and used his Qinggong to achieve his fastest speed ever. Maybe Zhui Ming would praise him for his rapid progress if he saw him.
Golden Sword didn't understand what this loud noise meant, but seeing Lin Cong was so angry that he even kicked his beloved wife away, he immediately realized that the big secret of this town would be lost after tonight.
So the young man retreated silently into the shadows at the back, and when most of the people below followed Lin Cong out of the mansion, he immediately gathered his internal strength and flew out along the roof like a swallow in the rain.
Lin Cong was searching house by house. He and his followers moved very quickly. If they continued searching like this, it would only take a quarter of an hour to find the young master.
Jin Jian still remembered what words that woman used to describe his young master. This was no place to stay for long and they had to leave as soon as possible.
Wuqing's reaction was faster than Jinjian had imagined. After the loud noise, he called Yinjian who was guarding outside the door and asked him to wake up Madam Luo. They had to leave now.
When the alchemy doll pretending to be awakened came to the main courtyard with the child in his arms, he happened to see the golden sword falling from the roof panting.
There was no time to avoid people, so Jin Jian told everyone what he had seen and heard.
Upon hearing this, Wuqing's expression changed slightly. The secret of Yanggu Town was more shocking than he had expected.
If that's the case, they can't leave.
"Golden Sword and Silver Sword, hurry to Fusheng Inn!"
Fusheng Inn is the largest inn in Yanggu Town. Most of the merchants who came to buy medicinal herbs had left yesterday. The remaining merchants are staying there, preparing to leave together at dawn.
The man who was suspected to be the real culprit was extremely angry and was searching every house for suspicious persons. However, his focus was still on finding strangers. The place with the most strangers in this town was at Fusheng Inn, so they, a group of "handicapped people", were relatively safe for now.
If those businessmen rushed out at the same time, there would be a high possibility of casualties. The best way to keep the secret is to kill the insider.
The loud noise tonight was heard throughout the town, not only the townspeople, but also these outsiders... If the person in there is ruthless, I'm afraid that none of the merchants in Fusheng Inn will survive.
Wu Qing made a prompt decision and asked the two sword boys to go to Fu Sheng Inn to provide protection. As long as they sealed the doors and windows, they would still have a chance of survival.
As for himself, although he had no internal strength, his hidden weapons were enough to protect himself.
And Miss Luo...
Wuqing raised his eyes and looked at the beautiful woman in plain clothes holding the baby. The panic and uneasiness on her face were so thin that one could tell the truth at a glance.
and……
Somehow, he always felt that Ms. Luo was very discordant tonight.
It was as if she shouldn't have been discovered by him.
But now is not the time to dwell on these matters, saving lives is the most important thing.
There was no need for further explanation; the two young men had already understood Wuqing's words. They bowed in acceptance and turned around to go to Fusheng Inn.
However, sudden changes often only last for a moment, and they underestimated the speed of Lin Cong's "hounds". On the low wall of the courtyard, several black shadows roared and rushed towards them, so fast that only a faint red light could be seen.
The Golden Sword and the Silver Sword were startled and raised their swords to block.
With a "swish" sound, the black shadow that rushed towards them actually grabbed the sword with bare hands. The sharp sword blade easily cut through the flesh and was stuck in the harder bone.
The black shadows were exactly the group of abnormal servants that Jin Jian had seen before. At this moment, they looked more like beasts than humans.
Even though their hands were about to be cut off, they still held on tightly and even used their hand bones to block the sword, making it impossible for the two teenagers to retract the sword.
Their attack methods are also different from those of ordinary people. Their hands and feet become tools to assist in movement, while their teeth, which are sharper than those of wild dogs, are their weapons.
Coupled with their red eyes, it makes people feel cold.
There was a sound of breaking air behind their ears at the same time. The golden sword and the silver sword moved to the sides at the same time. The slender hidden weapons knocked away the servants who wanted to bite open their necks.
The two men quickly stepped back, one on the left and one on the right holding swords to protect the young master.
Wuqing folded the opened folding fan, his cold white fingers brushed across the handle, and he put a new hidden weapon into it.
There were five people who pounced down, two of them pounced towards the golden sword and the silver sword, and the other three... they actually hesitated and stopped three steps away in a restless manner, like real beasts, crawling on all fours, drooling, staring at Wuqing and the other two with bloodshot eyes, but they never dared to look at the weak woman holding the child beside Wuqing.
They are afraid.
Their beast-like instincts made them keenly aware of something that the three ruthless people had not discovered -
The most dangerous person here is precisely this weak woman.
They naturally did not dare to confront those who were stronger than them, so they only fixed their eyes on the other three prey that were easier to kill.
The master has ordered that all living people be killed!
Wuqing waited quietly for ten breaths, looking at the few people who were still full of energy and gradually unable to contain themselves, his sword-like eyebrows finally wrinkled.
He applied double the amount of softening powder on the hidden weapon.
It's useless.
How can it be useless?
At this moment, a scream was heard from outside the yard. It just started and then stopped abruptly.
A ruthless hand pressed on the armrest of the wheelchair.
The Golden Sword and the Silver Sword must go to the Fusheng Inn immediately, otherwise there will be bloodshed tonight.
Just when Wuqing was about to press the button, Ms. Luo's soft hand suddenly fell lightly on his shoulder.
Wuqing was about to look up when something warm was stuffed into his arms.
The captain of the police, with a hint of murder on his brow, was stunned for a moment, and the posture of holding the child was actually a little stiff.
What is this...for?
"Enemy intrusion detected, analysis mode activated."
With her hands free, Ms. Luo twisted her neck and took two steps forward to the front of the golden sword and the silver sword. The two young men were about to ask her to step back, but they saw those troublesome guys groaning and actually stepping back.
The two of them were stunned and looked at the young master at the same time.
Wuqing frowned and shook his head, signaling them not to move for the time being. He held the child in one hand and still had the other hand on the armrest, ready to start the engine at any time.
The hidden weapons in this mechanism are all tempered with a deadly poison that kills instantly upon seeing blood.
Ms. Luo seemed to be sizing up these passers-by. After a few breaths, she raised her hand and took off the cloth covering her eyes: "The analysis is complete."
Under the fine cloth, there is a pair of shining eyes.
If these eyes cannot see, then almost everyone in this world would be blind.
Suddenly, these beautiful eyes glowed with gold, and the words that came out of Lady Luo's mouth became calm yet full of murderous intent:
"Battle mode activated, execute level one order - protect humanity, kill anomalies!"
Before she finished her words, the beautiful woman in plain clothes stepped on the tiptoe and rushed out like the wind.
Even with his merciless eyes, he couldn't see her movements clearly.
In just a blink of an eye, there were a few bangs and the five people who were blocking the way were dead, and the beautiful woman in plain clothes returned to her previous position.
Only her bleeding fist and the blood on the chests of the five men could explain what had happened in that moment.
Golden Sword and Silver Sword were stunned, they really couldn't believe that the usually weak Miss Luo actually had such amazing martial arts, and had kept it a secret from them for the past few days.
Wuqing slowly loosened his five fingers that were holding the armrest. He was also surprised, but more importantly, he understood it so clearly.
The person in front of him was not Madam Luo.
At least, it wasn't Miss Luo who had been traveling with them for a few days.
And what does the phrase "protect humanity and eliminate the abnormal" mean?
Is it just a literal meaning?
Why do we emphasize the word "human"? What is abnormal?
The alchemy doll could not answer his questions, as it only had a glimpse of its master's consciousness. Wuqing would not ask these questions at this moment, as their top priority was to rush to Fusheng Inn to save people.
"...Ms. Luo." Wuqing still addressed the person in front of him like this for the time being, "Will you come with us to Fusheng Inn?"
"Mrs. Luo" is very skilled in martial arts. If the people brought here are all people like those on the ground, the golden sword and the silver sword will not be able to deal with them. One or two is still easy, but if a group of them rush up, they will only be torn to pieces.
If they were accompanied by "Miss Luo", their actions would be much more stable.
The order that the alchemy doll is currently executing is to protect these four humans, three big and one small. There are more humans in the Fusheng Inn, and if these four humans go there, it will of course go there too.
The Child of Fortune has a higher level of protection than other humans, and the Alchemist Doll in combat mode will choose to protect the Heartless first.
It nodded and reached out to pick up Wuqing who was sitting in the wheelchair.
"Wait, wait!" Wuqing was startled and raised his hand to block the hand that "Ms. Luo" stretched out to him. The touch was even colder than the last time. "No need to do that, my wheelchair...is fast enough."
Besides, his martial arts skills were top-notch, so how, how could he let a woman carry him and walk?
Thinking of this, Wuqing felt a little embarrassed, and the tips of his ears, hidden in the night, felt slightly hot.
The alchemy doll has no awareness of "no physical contact between men and women", and even its owner doesn't care much about this. However, since the target of protection has said so, it will not force it.
So Silver Sword pushed Wuqing and trotted behind him, while the young man in the wheelchair kept an eye on all directions and listened carefully, ready to activate the device to destroy the enemy at any time.
The alchemy doll and the golden sword led the way. There were not many people blocking the road, and they were all killed by a single punch from the faster alchemy doll. On both sides were mostly panic-stricken townspeople.
Wuqing looked at them a few more times and wrote down the wailing words of several old people on the roadside. The child in his arms moved at this time, as if he wanted to change his position and continue sleeping.
He looked down and suddenly wanted to laugh.
Despite all the bumpy ride, the child still slept so soundly.
Before the smile spread to the corners of his mouth, Wuqing was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought of the past - this child had been like this all the way, easy to coax and well-behaved, and never cried like he should have.
The only time I couldn’t coax him to sleep was tonight.
Could it be that...
Did Madam Luo change her relationship with this guy tonight?
He had only been thinking for a few breaths when Fusheng Inn appeared before him.
The small courtyard they rented was only one street away from the Fusheng Inn. Outside the brightly lit inn, several people roaring like wild beasts were banging on the tightly closed door of the inn.
The people living inside were all businessmen who traveled far and wide. They were very alert and immediately controlled the store owner and the waiter. When they saw someone coming towards them, their first reaction was to close the windows and doors.
Facts have proved that they are right. The person who banged on the door without saying a word was not here to reason with them.
"Brother Zheng! We can't take it anymore!"
It was really strange. There were only four or five people banging on the door outside, and there were eight or nine muscular men holding the door inside, but they could hardly hold it together.
Are all the people in Yanggu Town so weird?
Hearing that they could no longer hold on, the people who were moving tables and cabinets in the lobby moved faster.
They were happy at first because they saw that all the herbs they purchased were complete, more and cheaper than last year, so they decided to have a good rest for a night before continuing. But who would have thought that they would encounter something like this tonight!
It seems that Yanggu Town is not only xenophobic, but also likes to rip off guests!
Regret! They really regret!
Why don’t you leave earlier?
The several big men at the door were exerting so much force that their veins popped out. The impact from outside was getting faster and harder. Just when they thought they couldn't bear it any longer, a short scream suddenly came from outside, followed by dead silence.
The big men who were leaning against the door and hearing more clearly looked at each other, then shook their heads at the bewildered host who was moving tables and cabinets, indicating that there was indeed no movement outside, but they didn't know what was going on.
It was the wife of one of the merchants who plucked up the courage to step forward and look out through the crack in the door.
She didn't see the person knocking on the door, but she saw a girl.
This girl is very beautiful, even when her face is cold, but... there is blood dripping from her fist!
The merchant woman was startled and was about to tell her husband not to open the door when the girl outside knocked on the door and said, "The man just now is dead. Open the door and let us in."
The voice was too cold and too calm. The people inside the room had already been frightened by the group of people who looked abnormal no matter how they looked at them. After hearing these words, they all had strange expressions on their faces, with pale faces tinged with blue.
Is the person knocking on the door a human or a ghost?
