Chapter 96 The Ninety-Sixth Star



Neither of them moved for a moment, observing the situation quietly.

The dark shadow not far away was also obviously startled. It seemed that it heard the conversation between the two and did not move forward for a long time. It seemed that it was also analyzing the situation.

After a moment, both parties tentatively moved forward at the same time. A familiar face appeared in the shadow in front of them. It was Qiao with dark hair and blue eyes, and a golden eagle necklace was hanging on her chest.

When Qiao saw the two of them clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then said with a sense of disappointment, "It's not you."

Chu Qianli had an argument with Qiao at the lobby door. She didn't expect to meet him again in Tingfeng Xiyu Building. She also felt strange for a moment when she heard some hidden meaning in his words.

"Did you see anyone else?" Joe asked.

"We should have pretended not to see the others, after all, we sneaked over here to inquire ahead of time." Chu Qianli complained, and then seeing that he was alone, he casually asked, "Where is your companion?"

When asked about this, Qiao lowered his head with a worried look on his face: "They just arrived at the hospital, their condition is relatively stable, and they didn't suffer fatal injuries..."

Tan Muxing was surprised and asked, "Was the person who withdrew from the race due to injury last night your teammate?"

Huang Jue once said at breakfast that a foreigner withdrew from the competition due to injury, and estimated that he was injured by a fierce ghost in the house. He also mocked the other party for being a poor learner. Unexpectedly, it was Qiao and others.

Chu Qianli raised an eyebrow: "Don't you claim to have a guardian angel? How come you are still injured?"

"Our patron saint can only exorcise evil spirits, but someone deliberately injured them yesterday!" Qiao frowned, "My companions and I went into the building last night and separated, but they fell down the stairs for no apparent reason. I don't know who pushed them down."

"We all came here after completing the ceremony, so it's impossible for us to be attacked by evil creatures. The other party can only be a flesh-and-blood person." Qiao said angrily, "I suspect someone has been staying here all the time, deliberately harming the candidates who came to investigate, and even spread the news that even we can't deal with the evil spirits here!"

According to Qiao, he and his companions were studying Rune, which belongs to the Nordic Guardian God system, and their team was well-known overseas. Qiao's companion was injured and retired from the competition, which also had a huge impact on overseas warlocks. Many of them chose to give up the second round of screening in panic.

This situation also occurs in the Chinese fortune-telling circle. It is estimated that domestic fortune-tellers who have broken bones encounter the same group of people. They are probably not attacked by ghosts, but by people pretending to be ghosts.

Qiao said angrily: "These people maliciously framed my companions and smeared our reputation. Now I am the laughing stock of the European circle!"

Joe and his group were well-known figures in the European mystic circle. Now that most of the team had been wiped out on the first night, many of their colleagues naturally felt gratified by the misfortune.

"Be more confident. Your laughter is not only heard in Europe, but all over the world." Chu Qianli finished speaking. She lowered her head to edit the news again, with a trace of worry in her eyes. "If someone pushed her down, we have to remind Sister Ru Z. Otherwise, we should go meet her first."

Although Chu Qianli and Qiao were at loggerheads at the entrance of the lobby, both sides had their bottom line in the final analysis. They would not deliberately use magic to attack others, nor would they have the idea of ​​harming others' lives.

Chu Qianli and the others were indeed not afraid of ghosts and spirits, but they could not guard against the harm of real people in the dark, and this could not be avoided by fortune-telling alone. They had just parted with Mei Ru Z, which was exactly the same as what Qiao had experienced last night, so there was no guarantee that they would not encounter any accidents.

Tan Muxing: "Has Sister Ru Z replied to you?"

"No, maybe I didn't see her." Chu Qianli counted with his fingers, "Let's just look for her location."

The two men were not very familiar with Qiao. They met briefly in the Tingfengxiyu Building. After hearing about the miserable experiences of each other's companions, they seemed to have no idea what else they could communicate.

"Then I'll go find that gang." Joe didn't stay for long. He waved goodbye to the two of them and embarked on a journey to avenge his companions.

Tan Muxing was stunned: "Are you going to look for them?"

"Yes, my companions left traces yesterday, but I didn't see them during the day. The Guardian Angel said they are still in the building. They basically act at night, so their traces will soon disappear. We must hurry."

Any divination is subject to time and condition limits. If the traces in Qiao's hands disappear, there will be no evidence at all.

Chu Qianli looked at Qiao's resolute back and asked in amazement, "How can this foreigner be so confident? Isn't he afraid that it's the Calabash Brothers who saved his grandfather?"

Chu Qianli always remembered that Qiao's companions were tall and strong. They came in as a group yesterday but were still framed. Wouldn't it be more dangerous for him to come alone now?

However, the two of them have no time to persuade Joe who is stubborn and stubborn. It is more important to find Meiru Z who is alone.

At the closed elevator door, Meiru Z was quite surprised to see the two people rushing over. She asked curiously, "Why are you here now? Didn't we agree to meet at the fence?"

"This should be the elevator where the murder happened. I just had a divination. A woman stepped on empty space in the elevator shaft and fell to her death more than ten years ago..." Mei Ru Z frowned, "But the divination here is too fierce. I have also encountered accidental deaths before, but none of them were as fierce as this one. It is even more fierce than the death of several people."

Chu Qianli said hurriedly: "Let's not talk about this for now. Sister Ru Z didn't meet any strange people, did she?"

"Strange people?"

Tan Muxing explained: "A foreign sorcerer said that his companion was pushed off the building yesterday."

"So crazy?" Meiru Z was stunned. "I don't think I bumped into anyone. I just kept hearing the sound of wind after I came in. I don't know where it came from."

Meiru Z suddenly realized: "So that's why you came all the way to see me?"

Chu Qianli made the decision: "Let's act together. History has shown that there is no good outcome if we act alone."

At this moment, a wailing sound suddenly came from upstairs, which was particularly abrupt in the silent and dark building!

Tan Muxing and Mei Ru Z turned their heads at the same time to look for the source of the sound, but Chu Qianli's eyes widened in panic: "This historical experience came too quickly."

"Then the foreigner won't be killed by them, right?" Mei Ru Z asked hesitantly, "Huang Jue said that those who withdrew from the competition didn't see the ghost, but if the foreigner you mentioned saw the other party's face, he probably wouldn't be able to stay."

Those who withdrew from the competition during the day did not see the face of the real culprit, so they certainly had no way of identifying him and some even attributed the accident to a powerful ghost.

However, Joe claims that he has a patronus, and he wants to catch those who pretend to be gods. If the other party wants to continue in the competition, he must get rid of Joe who discovered the truth.

Chu Qianli had never seen anyone attacking a candidate, so she could only take Qiao's characteristics into account and said in embarrassment, "It's over, it's more dangerous than good..."

When she first met Qiao and his companions, she had a premonition that they were unlucky. She thought that Qiao had escaped the disaster by chance yesterday, but now after carefully reading the divination, she realized that his experience might be even worse than his companions!

Tan Muxing: "You guys stay here, I'll go up and take a look."

"Let's go up together. Don't be alone." Mei Ru Z said bluntly, "We can't be separated in this situation."

The cry quickly died down, and soon the building returned to silence.

The three of them slowly went upstairs towards the source of the sound, but the corridor was pitch black, and they couldn't see their hands in front of them. They couldn't turn on the flashlight to avoid any danger.

The cry for help seemed to come from the third floor. When Chu Qianli and others arrived, they found nothing. The room was empty and there was no sign of Qiao.

None of the three dared to speak. Chu Qianli tugged at the corner of Tan Muxing's clothes. She stretched out her hand and pointed in a direction, indicating where the hexagram pointed to.

Meiru Z looked around, picked up an old golf club from the corner, and prepared himself.

Chu Qianli slowly walked around to the back of the sofa and found Qiao, who was bruised and battered, in the corner.

Qiao was tied up with hemp ropes and couldn't shout for help. After seeing Qian Li clearly, he struggled desperately and shook his head frantically to hint to her not to come near.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind the thick curtains and rushed towards Chu Qianli at lightning speed, as if it had been waiting for a long time!

"Xingxing!" Chu Qianli stepped back in panic, then subconsciously jumped and nimbly slid towards the tied-up Qiao, seizing the opportunity to untie the other's rope.

Tan Muxing quickly took over Chu Qianli's position. He held down the foreign man who was rushing towards him with one hand, trying to find a way to pin down the attacker.

When Joe's rope was half untied, he shouted, "More than one!"

Chu Qianli was untying Qiao's hands and feet, but she felt her hoodie being forcefully lifted up, like a baby animal being killed by a poacher.

In addition to the big man who came out first to confuse the crowd, there were other people lying in ambush behind the curtains!

There were actually five or six sneak attackers hiding on the third floor. They discovered that there were only three people who went upstairs. Now they rushed out from all directions, relying on their numbers to surround the group!

Meiru Z was skilled in martial arts. She expressionlessly fought off the strong man who rushed towards her with one blow, without showing any mercy.

Tan Muxing was reluctant to hurt anyone at first, but when he saw the naughty kid being grabbed by the back of the collar, a flash of panic flashed across his eyes, and then he found two strong men rushing over to him again.

The raiders obviously noticed that Tan Muxing had a higher combat power, so they only sent one person to fight against Meru Z, and the rest attacked Tan Muxing!

"I really don't like violence." Tan Muxing's eyes flickered. Facing the attack from both sides, he initially wanted to clamp down on the opponent, but now he pursed his lips and finally fought back with a heavy punch. He said softly, "...but I can protect her."

This punch had a two-in-one effect, forcing the attacker in front to fly backwards and directly collide with the strong man behind!

Tan Muxing didn't dare to use force when wrestling in the Shaman Village, but when he saw Chu Qianli being caught, he panicked and really punched an outsider for the first time!

He had been loath to use this power, but now he had to hold on to something.

The strong man who grabbed Chu Qianli was like a hunter grabbing a little bear and provoking a big bear face to face. Before he could react, he was hit hard in the face and hit the hard wall directly, wailing in pain.

Chu Qianli regained her freedom. She jumped down nimbly, turned her back to the battle behind her, and hurriedly untied the ropes, urging: "Hurry up and help Xingxing and Sister Ru Z!"

Qiao Zheng was facing the battle situation. He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, his pupils shrank slightly, and he trembled and said, "...Friend, do you think you still need help?"

Chu Qianli was untying the ropes and didn't see the battle, but Qiao saw the violent bear's state clearly. He felt that her help and comments were too funny!

Chu Qianli looked back and saw that the fight was over in an instant. Five or six strong men fell to the ground in pain, holding their stomachs in a twisted state, and were unable to get up for a long time.

Meiru Z threw the club aside. She couldn't help but look at Tan Muxing and said in disbelief, "This is really beyond my expectation."

Tan Muxing always followed silently. Meiru Z had no impression of him and did not expect that the other party was actually a thug.

The last time Mei Ru Z saw such an exaggerated one-vs-many situation was in a martial arts movie, where the man actually mistook the bodyguard for a nanny. This was truly an outrageous joke!

Chu Qianli was confused: "This is..."

Tan Muxing's eyes drifted away. He didn't want to expose his rude behavior of hitting someone and leave a bad negative impression on her, so he said softly, "Sister Ru Z and I cooperated."

Meru Z: “?” The nonexistent battle record has increased?
