Soul echo

Chapter 605 Monster ([-])

Bang bang bang!
"Teacher, you don't need to come here, it's already been resolved!"

Lilian's shouts came along with the gunshots, and the high-pitched gunshots aroused the tension of the people in the Toad Light Pavilion. The people standing in front of Zhong Ye turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, their necks slightly Shrink.

In fact, Lilian didn't need to shout at all, Zhong Ye had already heard the movement of the battle from the wind, and the thing that Lilian was fighting with was not her opponent at all.

"You have also heard that the people you spend day and night with are not human beings at all, but monsters."

Before Lilian's voice and gunshots came, there was another roar that sounded like a human voice in that direction. Not only Zhong Ye could hear it, but also the few people standing opposite him could hear it clearly.

To be honest, it was hard for them to believe that such a thing would happen, but it was the truth, and they couldn't refute it.

There are hidden disciples of the abyss in the Changuang Pavilion. In the east, these people are called "demons".

"Tell me, in the Changuang Pavilion, who do you think is suspect?"

Zhong Ye's deep and magnetic voice floated gently into their ears, and then quietly penetrated into their hearts.

The prostitutes who were questioned by Zhong Ye were in a trance, and then revealed a few names, among them was Qing Lai.

At this time, she was following Zhong Ye, and the person who was his guide was not Qing Lai, but she also believed in Qing Lai, the eldest sister, so when the women mentioned Qing Lai's name, the guide beside Zhong Ye changed his face. Change.

Zhong Ye pondered for a moment, then asked: "Is Qing Lai the rich lady who unfortunately fell into this place?"

The guide nodded with an ugly face, and explained softly: "The elder sister's family used to be a steel business, but because it was exposed that the steel was sold to the 'North', they ransacked all over the house. Only the elder sister and her brother escaped because of their young age. A catastrophe."

After being exposed, they fell to the point of killing everyone. It is conceivable that the north in the guide's words does not refer to the north of the Huang Kingdom, but a place further north.

If this is the truth, Qing Lai's family will not die unjustly.

Even further north is the territory of the Bloody Tribe. The Bloody Tribe is not human beings. They are determined to put the country to death, and even dare to sell steel to the Bloody Tribe. It is not too much to implicate the Nine Clans—of course, the premise is that this is true.

"Does many people in Changuang Pavilion know about Qing Lai's life experience?" Zhong Ye asked again.

The guide nodded with a complicated expression, "In the Changuang Pavilion, most of them are noble people, but the eldest sister is rare...so, many people know her background."

Zhong Ye nodded to the women in the room, turned around and walked down to the next courtyard, asking, "Why is Qing Lai a red lady, so other people in Changuang Pavilion will know her background?"

"Because the first ... the person that the eldest sister combed, I heard that it was her father's former partner. The eldest sister and younger brother are still living outside. In order to let that person take care of her young brother, the eldest sister took the initiative to ask her mother." Become a red shepherd and commit yourself to him."

As he said that, the guide couldn't help but sighed, dejectedly: "Her younger brother is not up to the mark, he can't study well, and he doesn't look good in martial arts. Eldest sister may have redeemed herself and left long ago."

Therefore, Qing Lai does have reasons for being cynical, and it is normal to be suspected.

"Qing Lai's father has committed such a serious crime, and has been punished. Even if Qing Lai was sent here because of her young age, the redemption fee is not low, right?" Just as they were speaking, Zhong Ye and the others arrived In the next courtyard, Zhong Ye pushed open the courtyard door, and what appeared in front of their eyes was a corpse still stained with some flesh and blood.

Before the guide beside him realized what was going on, Zhong Ye glanced at the side room, pulled out the straight knife, and threw it.

The straight knife slammed into the wall of the wing, pierced through the body of a monster, and nailed it to the wall on the other side.

"what!!!"

The shrill screams came from the room, making the guide turn pale with fright.

Zhong Ye raised his hand and pulled it hard, and with a crisp cry, the blue bird suddenly pulled away and flew back to Zhong Ye's hand.

After shaking off the blood on the blade, Zhong Ye turned around with the guide and walked towards another courtyard.

"Let's go, there's no one alive there anymore."

The moment he heard these words, the guide was taken aback for a moment, then felt cold all over his body, and quickly followed Zhong Ye.

There were monsters in the Toad Light Pavilion, and they lived with the monsters for so long, if Zhong Ye and the others didn't come today, would they be eaten by the monsters in the future?

——just like the skeleton she had just seen!
After walking for a while, Zhong Ye suddenly asked, "By the way, what about the previous incident?"

These words lingered in the guide's mind for a moment before she remembered what Zhong Ye had said before.

"Eldest sister has a childhood sweetheart who is the son of her father's partner. Every time he comes to Changuang Pavilion, he will give elder sister a large sum of money, just..." After a pause, the guide sighed and whispered, " It's just a little rough...every time the eldest sister sees him, she will get hurt."

Zhong Ye raised his eyebrows, "Changuang Pavilion doesn't care?"

The guide shook his head, "The red lady doesn't care, because those big men have some eccentricities, and my mother dare not restrict them, but the red lady's share is higher than that of us pure ladies, and the ransom fee is relatively low, even for a repeat offender like the elder sister. After that, 100 taels of gold can be redeemed."

Using 100 taels of gold to buy one's own life, to a certain extent, the Huang Kingdom is already benevolent among the feudal empires, but no matter how benevolent it is, it is still a feudal empire, and all the rules of conduct are still in the feudal society within the scope of

It took Zhong Ye and the others two hours to inquire about the inside and outside of the Toad Light Pavilion, and by the way, they also cleared out the demonic people hidden in the Toad Light Pavilion.

However, they still haven't been able to get a definite answer.

Does this mean that the mastermind behind the scenes is not actually someone from Changuang Pavilion?

Zhong Ye didn't know the answer to this question, and neither did Dai Lila.

It's just that judging from the current situation, they can temporarily look away from the Changuang Pavilion and look at other people.

If the people in Changuang Pavilion did not create this plague, who is the most suspected person?
Zhong Ye and the others really want to know the answer to this question, but unfortunately, they are not familiar with the place where they lived, and the women in Changuang Pavilion don't know much about it. If you ask them, who is the most suspected person in Bianliang, what can they tell? Say a bunch of names.

This was of no help to Zhong Ye and the others in their investigation, so Zhong Ye planned to return to the city guard mansion to look for the city guard.

"Sir, please stay!"

When Zhong Ye was about to leave, Qing Lai stopped him.

When he looked back in doubt, he heard Qing Lai say: "I once heard that the magistrate said that he has a talisman that can communicate with the emperor. The speech is average, if you want to find the city guard, you might as well go directly to the government, the city guard may be there."

Hearing this, Zhong Ye smiled slightly and bowed to salute.

"Also ask the girl to point out the direction of the government for us!"

Qing Lai took a light breath, got up and walked towards the door, identified the direction, and pointed out the location of the government to Zhong Ye.

"Thank you."

After saying that, Zhong Ye took Lilian and the others out of Changuang Pavilion and headed for the official residence.

Just after leaving Changuang Pavilion, Lilian said: "Teacher, the 'talisman' that Qing Lai mentioned seems a bit similar to the internal communication network of the church in Westland!"

Zhong Ye nodded, "There are indeed some similarities, but compared to the church communication network in Westland, Dongtu's technology in this area is slightly behind."

The church's communication network is very convenient, as long as it is an official clergyman, it can be used, but Dongtu's talisman probably cannot be so convenient.

After all, it was the first time Zhong Ye had heard of such a thing after returning to the Eastern Land for so long, and there were still post roads and post stations in the Eastern Land, so in terms of information exchange technology, the East Land should not be as convenient as the West Land.

However, in the application of space magic, Dongtu is far from comparable to Xilu.

After walking for about ten minutes, Zhong Ye and the others came to the official mansion with the door open.

Suddenly, Zhong Ye raised his eyebrows.

"You don't need to look for it." With that said, Zhong Ye raised his finger to the government.

"The mastermind behind the scenes is right here!"
