Chapter 721 The boy struck by lightning

At this moment, in the dim tomb, Nangong Xiayu was like a frightened little rabbit, hugging his shoulders, looking at the coffin in front of him and shaking uncontrollably.

"How did you get into the coffin?" I looked at Nangong Xiayu and asked.

Although Nangong Xiayu in front of me looked normal, my hand was always on the Soul-Slaying Knife, and there was a hint of vigilance in my eyes.

After all, the impression he left on me before was too evil. Not only did he sneak into the wedding team of the Ten Thousand Year Corpse King without anyone noticing, he even came to the depths of the Hatching Yin Land and lay in a coffin.

All of this was beyond common sense, and I couldn't help but wonder if it was fake.

"I, I don't know either." Nangong Xiayu shook his head and asked me, "Captain Zhang, where is this? I remember that we were near the charity cemetery before? Could it be that we are in the charity cemetery here?"

His words made me frown: "You don't remember anything?"

"Remember what?" He looked at me with a puzzled look and asked, "I remember that we encountered the Corpse King getting married near the charity cemetery. I was very scared at that time, but what happened after that... I don't remember anything." When he

said this, he touched his head with a painful look on his face. It felt as if his head was hurting.

I didn't say anything when I heard that. I just narrowed my eyes and stared at Nangong Xiayu's eyes. He took a step back and said tremblingly, "Captain Zhang, why are you looking at me like that? Speak!"

Nangong Xiayu's eyes were full of panic. That look didn't seem like a fake, but it was precisely because of this that I was even more confused.

"Could it be that he was extremely frightened and triggered his second personality, but his second personality is too... perverted, isn't it? He actually followed the Corpse King's wedding team into the Hatching Land? What on earth does his second personality want to do?"

I was secretly shocked, because if that was the case, then Nangong Xiayu's second personality might be more dangerous and more terrifying than what I had seen before.

I took a deep breath and then told Nangong Xiayu everything that happened before. During the narration, Nangong Xiayu's expression changed from extreme fear to extreme shock and astonishment. When I said that he was most likely lying in the coffin by himself, Nangong Xiayu immediately hugged his head with a look of pain on his face.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, that's not me, that's definitely not me!"

He hugged his head, like a patient with a mental illness who suddenly had a relapse, and kept muttering to himself.

"Nangong?" I frowned and called him in a low voice.

Hearing this, Nangong Xiayu slowly turned his head and said with a painful look on his face: "Captain Zhang, did I really... sneak into the Corpse King's wedding team? And you said that I killed the giant spirit god at the Xishen Inn before?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"How is this possible? Why don't I remember anything at all." Nangong Xiayu fell to the ground, and his eyes were lifeless and his face was dull, as if he had received a great shock.

After seeing this scene, I frowned secretly, thinking that even if he knew all this, he wouldn't be so scared, right?

Unless, he is hiding something from me!

With this thought in mind, I asked tentatively, "Can you tell me in detail how Marshal Huang found you?"

Nangong Xiayu, like me, is a field commissioner of the Wu Shushan reserve force and an honorary elder.

There are only a handful of people with this position in the whole of China, and the power they hold is staggering. Marshal Huang would not have given such a high power to a teenager for no reason.

Unless, this teenager is Marshal Huang's illegitimate son, but this is obviously impossible!

"We met in Tokyo." Nangong Xiayu lowered his head and said sadly, "At that time, I was locked up in the detention center of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, and only Uncle Huang Shuai went there to bring me back to the country."

"Have you been living in Tokyo before?" I asked.

"Yeah." He nodded: "I went abroad to study when I was ten years old. The reason I chose Tokyo was because I love anime, and the anime there fascinated me, so I chose there. But... last year, a strange thing happened in my school."

"What strange thing?" I couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Nangong Xiayu fell into deep thought, and a deep puzzlement appeared in his eyes: "I don't know how to put it, it's just... on a very sunny morning, a thunderbolt suddenly fell and directly struck our school. The thunderbolt landed on the playground of our school and directly struck a deep pit with a diameter of ten meters and a depth of three pits on the ground. Fortunately, it was class time at that time, and there was no one on the playground. Only an old man in charge of cleaning was scared and fainted."

"What does this have to do with you being locked up in the detention center?" I asked with a puzzled look on my face, but Nangong Xiayu's next words surprised me.

Then I heard: "Because... I was in the deep pit that was struck!"

"Ah?" I widened my eyes, looking confused.

Nangong Xiayu was in the deep pit created by the lightning?

"This guy was struck by lightning, but he didn't die?" At this moment, I finally understood why this guy always gave people a weird feeling. It turned out that he was struck by lightning. It's not surprising that he looks a little mentally abnormal.

"This incident caused a big sensation in Tokyo at the time. Even the Tokyo Supernatural Investigation Bureau came to investigate. However, their conclusion was suppressed later, and I was also arrested."

Nangong Xiayu's expression became more and more frustrated when he said this. It felt as if he was wronged, but he was powerless to defend himself.

"Do you know the results of the investigation?" I asked with a frown, because at this moment I suddenly realized that the thunder might not be that simple. I even suspected that the thunder was aimed at Nangong Xiayu.

But... this guy didn't look like he had done anything unscrupulous. God, why did you kill him?

Just as I was stroking my chin and thinking secretly, Nangong Xiayu suddenly spoke and said something that made me confused: "They said that the thunder... was summoned by me, because I made a mistake at that time and was punished by a senior in charge of discipline to run, but running was too boring, so I imagined myself as... Lei Zhenzi in our Chinese animation. I even said in my heart that it would be great if I could summon thunder and lightning to kill that bastard, and then..."

At this point, Nangong Xiayu paused with a look of regret, and I, with my eyes wide open, said in astonishment: "Then the thunder came down and... killed you yourself?"
