Chapter 246 Sin
I was busy probing just now and didn't realize there was another expert in this courtyard. That person's strength is not to be underestimated. A direct confrontation won't work; I need to devise a plan and outsmart them.
"Yunxi, are you alright? I chased those bastards away."
Gu Yunxi looked at the devilishly handsome man and said, "You're too impatient."
She hadn't managed to get any information out of him yet. At worst, she could just grab him and interrogate him properly. She wondered if this person's sudden appearance here was a test or some kind of conspiracy.
"What's so interesting about this broken well?"
Gu Yunxi patted his shoulder, "A dry well is no good. Get the thing out of there, or I'll call the police."
Local police, who were lurking in the live stream room, immediately became alert upon hearing Master Gu's words and called for reinforcements.
"Ah, Yunxi, how can you bear to let my delicate hands retrieve those human body fragments?"
"Migu, didn't you say you'd do anything as long as I stayed? It sounds like you don't want to do it anymore?"
"I was just kidding."
Mi Gu walked towards the well with a smile. It was just retrieving human body fragments; why would he need to use his hands? With a wave of his hand, he immediately dodged away.
[Holy crap, could this man be an admirer of Master Gu? How can a man be so handsome? Is it some kind of stunt or ruthless skill?]
[Given Master Gu's character and ability to judge people, this is unlikely; he is most likely Master Gu's accomplice.]
Am I the only one paying attention to what he just said about human body fragments? Could there really be something like that in this well? Could those pairs of eyes really have been buried down there?
Just as everyone was beginning to have doubts, something flew out from behind the man, one piece after another, quickly piling up into a large heap.
Gu Yunxi waved and ended the live stream.
Netizen: ?
Were those human body fragments? How could there be so many? Why didn't Uncle Hat find them?
A putrid stench hit them, and Gu Yunxi immediately shut off her sense of smell. Zhang Zheng and the others weren't so lucky.
He squatted down and vomited.
Damn it, who did this? Back then, Zhang Zheng thought there was something wrong with this well, so he went down into it himself, but there was nothing inside. He never expected that someone had used some kind of trick to deceive him.
No wonder those bloggers said there was a problem here. It's not just a problem, it's a huge problem. This yard might be the primary crime scene. He even did some renovations. Could it be that these millions have really gone down the drain?
Thinking about this, Zhang Zheng vomited even more violently.
"Good heavens, a dismemberment scene! What kind of beast did this?"
Gu Yunxi looked at the green eyes hiding in the distance and said, "If you want me to get justice, then come out here!"
A woman wearing a floral dress floated down; her outfit resembled something from the 1980s.
Upon seeing Gu Yunxi, he immediately knelt down.
"Master, please help us escape this sea of suffering. We are trapped in this courtyard, unable to reincarnate. We don't even know how many years have passed."
"Do you still remember the people who harmed you back then? I see there are only about a dozen of you. Who lived in this house back then?"
The woman shook her head. "I don't know. This courtyard was very lively back then. My family sent me here to work. I had only been working for a few days when I met with misfortune. I didn't expect there to be so many people like me. The owner of this place has special abilities, so we were sealed here."
Later, the family emigrated, and several other people lived there afterward. Because it was said to be haunted, it fell into disrepair until it was taken over again by Boss Zhang.
That makes things more complicated.
So much time has passed, and Gu Yunxi asked a few more people, but they all gave the same answer. Yet, she still felt that something was wrong.
“Yunxi, these ghosts don’t remember anything. I think their memories have been erased. This haunted house was renovated less than a month ago. Although the fragments look like that, from my observation, their murder definitely happened within the last month.”
Migu was speechless. He had heard that the development here was so amazing. Could it be that they couldn't even find out these things?
"A month?"
Gu Yunxi felt that what Mi Gu said was very likely true. Could all of this be a coincidence?
I've been gone for just over a month, and Lin Guanyue is very likely to have come to harm people during this time. As for that person who just appeared, why did he come at this particular moment? He must be here for these fragments.
"It seems this villain can't wait any longer."
Hearing the police sirens, Zhang Zheng and the others felt like they had come back to life. Several men in hats came in, understood the situation, and then cordoned off the scene.
"Master Gu, is it still possible for me to keep this shop open?"
"Sure, this is a prime location. Don't worry, once this is settled, nothing else will happen. You can just wait to be loaded with money!"
The rest I'll have to settle accounts with those people myself.
Gu Yunxi wasn't in a hurry to go home. Instead, she took out a paper crane and went to meet Lin Guanyue.
At this moment, Lin Guanyue had just returned to his territory.
Holding Chen Yaoyao in her arms, Gu Yan saw her master return in a disheveled state and knew that he had not gained anything from his test.
"waste!"
Lin Guanyue glanced at Gu Yan and said, "Why didn't you tell your master that there is a monstrous man by Gu Yunxi's side? His cultivation is even more terrifying. It seems that our plan should be brought forward."
Lin Guanyue immediately called his friend who was abroad.
Suddenly, she felt the ground shake violently. Sensing something, Chen Yaoyao jumped out of Gu Yan's arms and ran outside.
Her owner came to pick her up.
The moment she saw Gu Yunxi, she immediately threw herself into her arms.
"Yao Yao, well done."
Gu Yan led a few people out and saw the person standing at the door: "Gu Yunxi, you actually found this place. Since you're here, stay!"
Migu raised an eyebrow. "Woman, you're really tough. You live such a carefree life."
"Yunxi, she provoked you so much, how about I kill her?"
"No!"
Gu Yan felt a powerful pressure pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe. She only felt better after Lin Guanyue came out.
"We have friends visiting, why don't you come in and sit down?"
Gu Yunxi raised an eyebrow, not bothering with any more words, and touched the phoenix hairpin on her head, causing a phoenix to soar into the air.
Lin Guanyue and Gu Yan stared blankly at the scene before them, especially Lin Guanyue, who had never seen a phoenix before in all her years of life.
He sensed something was wrong. He glanced at the woman standing beside him. She was the one who brought all this trouble from Mirror Moon Lake. He should take responsibility for it himself. He slipped into the house and escaped using a secret technique.
Balls of flame spewed from the phoenix's beak, crashing into the buildings before it and igniting them into a raging inferno.
Gu Yan quickly turned around, but her master was nowhere to be seen.
