Qin Changqing paused when he saw the familiar blond hair and golden eyes, then glanced over his face and then looked away with boredom. He didn't know him and had no interest.
He didn't take it seriously when a stranger flirted with him. However, Xitu, who had already regarded Xitu as a mysterious god, was different. He jumped out in anger and pointed at the blond man who had just walked through the broken door and cursed, "Who are you?! Watch your words!"
The blond man's eyes were fixed on Qin Changqing's face. He looked at him for a long time before he seemed reluctant to move away. He glanced at Xitu lightly, and then said something that successfully hit his anger point, "It's a matter between adults. You are a child and you don't understand. Don't meddle in other people's business."
Xitu was immediately furious. The most frustrating thing about him was his baby face; it lacked any dignity! This bastard stepped on his weak spot the moment he arrived. This was unbearable!
Seeing Xitu about to rush up and fight, Qin Changqing quickly grabbed him and said to the two people opposite in a cold voice: "This house is not ours. We occupy this room. You can do whatever you want with the rest."
Seeing that he seemed to be trying to stand up for Xitu, the blond man chuckled but did not deliberately talk to him.
The man who came in with him had black hair and black eyes, and his facial features were surprisingly handsome, but he was quite cold and silent. His eyes swept across everyone's faces, making people feel as if ice in the coldest days of winter was rubbing against naked skin, enough to peel off a layer of skin.
After the two entered the house, except for the blond man teasing Qin Changqing at the beginning, there was no further interaction between them. In the end, they chose a room next to them to rest.
Qin Changqing and the other three returned to the room. Xitu was still indignant and asked in a low voice, "Why did these two come here to seek death?"
"Maybe they are here for Kahler Castle too?" Qin Changqing thought of the high-priced purchase information posted by Green, the boss of Sharp Knife, at the auction house, and wondered if they also wanted to come to Kahler Castle to try their luck and make this money.
Hanhai, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up at this moment: "I have some impression of that black-haired man."
The others looked at him in surprise.
Hanhai only said a few words, "Heiyu's boss."
Qin Changqing was confused and had no idea what it meant.
On the other hand, Xitu suddenly jumped up from the ground and shouted angrily: "They are members of Black Feather?!"
Hanhai's tone was very calm. "I don't know either. I just think he looks a lot like the one from Heiyu. You also know that Heiyu has two bosses, Jin Si and Cang Yu. They're called Si Ye and Yu Ye in the underworld."
"Wait." Before the young policeman Xitu could get angry again because he met the gang boss, Qin Changqing quickly interrupted him and asked in surprise, "Are you talking about the Fourth Master?" He stared at Hanhai with wide eyes, hoping that he understood what he meant.
Hanhai was also a little confused, obviously not understanding what he meant. He nodded hesitantly, "Yes, there are rumors that Fourth Master Jin is the actual person in charge of Heiyu."
Qin Changqing: "..."
Was he overthinking it? It wasn't the same person? Qin Changqing's brows furrowed. Lan Sinian had clearly changed his appearance directly in the palace. Chao Hai, one of the palace's two deputy captains of the guard, was arguably his closest confidant. Couldn't he have known that Chao Hai had a rather impressive underworld nickname, "Fourth Master"?
Xitu said angrily: "Don't stop me, I want to arrest them!"
The one who stopped him was naturally his guard, Hodge. Hodge frowned and asked him, "Master, do you want to arrest them, or do you want to save those students?"
The young policeman was immediately choked. He'd come here not only out of curiosity about Castle Kaher, but also because of these students. Saving them was, of course, the most important thing right now. If they got into a fight, no one would be safe! But, that was the boss of one of the Empire's five major mafia gangs! Ahhhhh!!! How could the righteous young policeman bear to watch them slip right under his nose, unable to catch them?
Qin Changqing's mind was in a mess. Although he had never tried to explore the meaning of Lan Sinian's secret - he had always been very clear about his position, but it was undeniable that when the various mysteries related to Lan Sinian were laid out in front of him, he inevitably became curious.
The weather in Kaheburg was like a baby's face. It was pitch black just now, as if the sky would fall down at any moment, but not long after, the sky cleared up again.
Qin Changqing and others did not plan to stay in Kah Castle for long. Since the sky was clear, they planned to go to the castle to check it out before dark. If it didn't work, they would rush back before dark.
When leaving the room, Qin Changqing looked back at the room where the two gangsters were suspected to be staying. It was quiet there, as if no one had ever been there.
"You also think they are dangerous, right? I tell you, when we get out, I will definitely call someone to put them in jail!" Situ leaned close to his ear and whispered to him, his tone sounding quite cruel.
Qin Changqing was confused and asked with a smile, "Do you hate Hei Yu's people?"
"Of course they are gangsters! An illegal criminal organization! It's my responsibility to arrest them!" He added, "We can't waste taxpayers' money."
Qin Changqing: "..." This does make sense, but if you find that the gangster you caught eventually becomes the emperor of an empire, I hope your sense of justice will remain strong.
The four of them packed up their things and walked through the building to the hillside behind the house. The hillside once had neat stone steps, but because no one had repaired them for years, they had long since become dilapidated and worn, with broken stones scattered everywhere. Occasionally, you could see some fresh footprints, probably left by the students.
The four of them held their weapons tightly in their hands and climbed the stairs carefully.
The journey was unexpectedly peaceful until they passed through the low wall made of cinnabar stone and stepped onto the square in front of the castle.
The towering castle walls were covered with dead branches left by vines and years of accumulated dust, appearing dark and gloomy even in the sunlight. The four people standing in front of the castle felt a heavy pressure and a slight discomfort in their chests.
At first, Qin Changqing thought it was his illusion, but soon he discovered that the other three were also rubbing their chests subconsciously.
At this moment, the castle gate suddenly opened slowly in front of them, revealing the dark hall inside.
Xitu, who was afraid of ghosts, was so frightened that he couldn't help but hide behind the three people. However, then something even more frightening happened!
A woman dressed as a maid walked out of the castle's open gate, bowed stiffly, and said in an even stiffer voice, "Please follow me in, guests."
The sudden appearance of the maid made the four men break out in cold sweats. She was not a living being at all. Not only was her face as pale as if she had been painted white, but her body was also translucent! Anyone who followed her was a fool!
Qin Changqing never imagined that he, who had received nearly twenty years of materialistic education on Earth and was a legitimate successor of socialism who grew up under the red flag, would actually see a ghost in the distant interstellar space!
None of the four moved, not even daring to make a sound, staring at the maid with wide eyes.
The maid waited for a long time, and seeing that the men did not move, she mechanically repeated the sentence in a stiff voice, over and over again, faster and faster. The high frequency of the voice made the stiff voice become more and more sharp and harsh.
Then the four of them discovered that many translucent people like maids suddenly appeared from all directions of the castle. They had pale faces and surrounded the four of them with stiff postures.
Qin Changqing's face was also a little pale. He tried to stay calm and carefully observed those translucent people. Soon he found that there was a black monkey wrapped around each of those translucent people!
"This, this should be a spiritual energy body." The knowledgeable Hanhai suddenly said.
"Spiritual energy body?" Qin Changqing asked doubtfully.
"Yes, it is said that after a person dies, those with strong mental powers may leave behind this kind of mental energy body under certain circumstances. However, these people seem to be just servants, yard keepers and guards. They should not have such strong mental energy, and it is impossible for so many people to leave behind at the same time." After having the basis and explanation, Hanhai came to his senses. If it was just a mental energy body, they, who also possessed mental powers, would not have to be afraid of them at all.
Qin Changqing felt that the situation was not optimistic. He said, "If it is mental power, you will also need to use your supernatural powers to deal with it, but don't forget, if you use supernatural powers or mental power here, you may be infected with mania." Those black monkeys were looking at them with their scarlet eyes!
This was an almost unsolvable situation! These spiritual energy beings no longer had physical bodies, and ordinary spears, clubs, and sticks could not harm them at all. The only way to fight them was probably with supernatural powers.
"In that case, why not go into the castle and see what's inside?" A familiar, flirtatious voice sounded behind them. Qin Changqing turned around and met the blond man's gaze. The man lost no time in giving him another flirtatious glance. "Hi, beautiful, we meet again. What a coincidence."
Qin Changqing: "..." He didn't know whether they were destined to be together or not, he just suddenly felt a little itchy and wanted to hit someone!
Those spiritual energy bodies seemed countless, and soon they surged up from all directions, surrounding them in front of the castle gate, as if forcing them in. Along with them came countless monster black monkeys.
Hanhai looked at Qin Changqing gravely, and even Xitu watched him, waiting for his decision. Qin Changqing wasn't afraid of this. He was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's go in and take a look." As he spoke, he took out the cotton thread he had previously dyed with cinnabar, hoping it would come in handy later.
