"Um!"
The person referred to as the Lord is Mr. Mu.
He extended his long, slender, fair fingers, and gently traced the tip of his finger along Huang's delicate face.
Suddenly, Huang's eyes turned strange, her face flushed, and she began to gasp for breath.
"Could it be that the person from before didn't die?"
Mr. Mu muttered hoarsely to himself, "I clearly fed him the Xuan Yin Poison, so he shouldn't have survived tonight!"
If Ah Liang dies, then their stronghold will definitely not be exposed.
This shows that he must have been saved!
And the one who saved A-Liang must be Lin Fan, whose medical skills are superb!
Before this, it was he who saved Su Taisheng's life.
“My Lord…my Lord, this man…is nothing to fear.”
"How about... I go and kill... kill him!"
Huang spoke haltingly, panting.
That hand seemed to possess immense magic.
"Ignore him!"
Mr. Mu sneered and withdrew his hand, saying, "If everything goes too smoothly, it's no fun."
Keep this person around; he might be useful later!
The premise is... that he can get through tonight.
After that hand left, Huang instantly felt her soul being pulled out of her body, and a sense of loss washed over her.
At this moment, she was lying on the ground, drenched in sweat, looking no different from a female dog.
"My lord, this man actually found a woman to be his accomplice?"
Huang wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the monitor curiously, asking a question.
"This woman is very skilled; she must have served in the military before."
"To be able to stay by this man's side, one must have an extraordinary background!"
Mr. Mu said hoarsely.
After saying that, he put his finger to his nose and took a deep sniff, looking completely intoxicated.
"So what?"
Phoenix nestled on Mr. Mu's lap like a water snake, "Haven't we killed or captured enough Chinese soldiers before?"
Let's see how things go!
Mr. Mu turned his gaze back to the display screen.
Those eyes were as deep as stars.
...
"Have you found anything?"
Lin Fan searched around but found nothing.
I searched through all the drawers, but they were all empty.
"There's no useful information."
Cheng Ruonan shook her head.
"bite……"
"bite……"
"bite……"
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the inner room again.
It's very rhythmic and gives you goosebumps when you listen to it at night.
Moreover, the red light inside seemed to have intensified slightly.
"what the hell?"
Cheng Ruonan frowned.
"Perhaps they want us to back down!"
Lin Fan smiled and strode inside.
He has never believed in legends of gods and ghosts, nor in anything beyond the natural world.
If you think you can be stopped by such a trick, then you are underestimating them!
Cheng Ruonan didn't say anything and followed her inside.
The other party left in a hurry, so they didn't take all their belongings with them.
Some of the flowerpots contained unknown flowers and plants—clearly not species native to China.
After walking inside, I smelled a faint, exotic fragrance.
"Be careful, don't fall for their tricks!"
Lin Fan sensed something strange about the scent, so he immediately took out his mask.
He quickly put it on and handed one to Cheng Ruonan as well.
"Um."
Cheng Ruonan nodded, took it, and put it on herself.
The floorboards here have aged and rotted due to years of neglect.
So, their footsteps made a creaking sound on the floor.
The sound, mixed with the rhythmic tapping, constantly stimulated the nerves.
"So noisy!"
Lin Fan, thoroughly annoyed, took out a handful of silver needles.
I casually picked one up and tossed it away.
"Smack!"
A sound of something breaking came, then the sound stopped abruptly.
Cheng Ruonan leaned closer to take a look and found that it was a wind-up music box.
That sound just now came from inside.
Lin Fan walked to the center of the main hall and found that the statue that A Liang had mentioned had disappeared.
Instead, there was a huge shrine with all sorts of jars on it.
In the very center, there was a strange stick.
It was covered with various strips of cloth, as well as a jumble of bones, teeth, and talismans.
"What exactly is this thing?"
Out of curiosity, Cheng Ruonan reached out and touched it.
"Hey... don't move!"
Lin Fan wanted to warn him, but it was too late.
Cheng Ruonan had already grasped the stick in her hand.
"It's nothing, don't make a fuss."
Cheng Ruonan glared at him, then weighed it in her hand.
This thing is actually quite heavy, it looks like iron but isn't, and it's irregularly shaped like a tree root.
"Playing tricks!"
Cheng Ruonan played with it for a while, then got bored and tossed it aside.
"Thump!"
The stick struck the niche with a dull thud.
Then came a suffocating silence.
"Lin Fan?"
Cheng Ruonan suddenly asked a question.
Because Lin Fan had vanished from her sight.
Not only that, but it seemed like a purple smoke was rising from somewhere.
The smoke instantly enveloped the area.
"not good!"
Cheng Ruonan's expression changed, and she immediately held her breath, preparing to run to the side.
