When Jiang Jingmo and his friend rushed back to the cloth shop, the owner was just about to close the shop. When he saw them coming back, a smile appeared on his face again.

"What are you two girls doing?"

Xu Fengzui raised the bag of pastries in his hand, his face full of smiles and his eyes full of gratitude.

"It turned out to be the boss. My sister wanted to eat some cakes today, so I asked for part of my wages and took her to buy some."

Jiang Jingmo hid behind Xu Fengzui and nodded timidly.

"I see. It's getting late now. The two girls should hurry back. It's not safe for girls at night."

Having said that, the boss made way. Jiang Jingmo and Xu Fengzui thanked him, walked into the cloth shop and headed towards the backyard.

The boss looked at the two men's backs, a smile appeared on his lips, he closed the door and locked it.

Tonight is destined to be uneasy.

When Jiang Jingmo and Xu Fengzui returned to the house, their smiling faces had returned to calm. They stood facing each other, both feeling that things were not that simple.

The two of them sat in the room for a long time, until Ji Chuhe sent a message to Jiang Jingmo, and they finally understood the real reason why the people in the city disappeared.

This time, Ji Chuhe and Nan Xun mainly investigated the inconspicuous people in the city, such as little beggars who begged along the road, or poor families, and also focused on investigating the Salesian Church in the city.

You wouldn't know until you check, and once you check, you'll find something strange.

Many beggars said that five days ago, some of their fellow beggars disappeared inexplicably, but they did not suspect anything. After all, beggars had always been wandering around the world.

There have also been many missing people in poor families recently. Some of them were children or husbands who went hunting in the mountains and disappeared inexplicably. When they went to look for them, they only saw torn and bloody clothes. They were probably attacked by wild animals. Some of them were wives and daughters who went fishing and were drowned by the flood. Only shoes and socks were left on the shore. The time varies, and each incident is about five to ten days apart.

There have been many people coming to adopt children from the Salesian Church recently. Every ten days or half a month, someone would come to adopt one or two children. The interval was quite long, so no one suspected anything.

But once or twice is a coincidence, but three or four times is worthy of suspicion.

The information found seemed to have nothing to do with the current disappearance, but the matching time points made it necessary to take it seriously.

Now it can be concluded that the missing person has been missing for five days.

It has been four days since the last time someone went missing, so I think someone new will go missing tomorrow.

Are they among them?

Jiang Jingmo's fingertips tapped lightly on the table. Time passed little by little, and soon it was past midnight.

Xu Fengzui and Jiang Jingmo waited for a long time, but there was still no movement. Just when they thought that this time was the same as last time and that he would not attack them, a black shadow suddenly flashed outside the window.

Jiang Jingmo became alert instantly, but she calmed herself down, climbed onto the bed, closed her eyes, and pretended to be asleep. Xu Fengzui did the same.

Soon, footsteps were heard in the room.

Soon, the footsteps stopped beside Jiang Jingmo's bed. She felt someone's gaze falling on her face, staring at her directly, making her feel uncomfortable.

But Jiang Jingmo stayed calm.

"I know you're not asleep." A man's voice suddenly came from the bedside, sounding familiar.

Jiang Jingmo was shocked, as the voice belonged to one of the guys who had dyed cloth with them in the past two days.

Just as she was about to get up, she saw a figure in a nightgown beside the bed, and then a bag was dropped over her head. Jiang Jingmo heard the sound of a club and Xu Fengzui's groan.

Then, a stick hit her directly on the head. Pain and dizziness came over her. When she fell down, Jiang Jingmo heard the man's disdainful voice.

"Someone who walked into a trap."

.........

When Jiang Jingmo woke up again, he felt a splitting headache. When he opened his eyes, he found himself tied to a rack, with Xu Fengzui, who had not yet woken up, tied next to him.

This was a place similar to a basement, dim, gloomy and damp. They were locked in an iron cage, and there were various iron cages of different sizes next to it, all of which were filled with people like Jiang Jingmo who were tied to racks. Only the burning torches next to them provided her with a little light.

Through the dim firelight, Jiang Jingmo saw the people guarding outside. There were many of them, all wearing night clothes, so his faces could not be seen clearly.

The fact that she woke up was soon discovered by the people outside. They spread the news somewhere, and after a while, someone walked into the cage.

"It is you……"

Jiang Jingmo saw that face and suddenly smiled.

She was a woman with wrinkles all over her face and a kind smile. She was the neighbor aunt that Jiang Jingmo asked for news that day. However, she had changed out of her coarse linen clothes and was now wearing silk and satin, and she smelled of a strange fragrance.

"The little kid is quite calm, could it be that he had already guessed it?"

The woman spoke, and her shrewd eyes looked Jiang Jingmo up and down.

"How could that be? If I had guessed it, I wouldn't be here." Jiang Jingmo smiled and didn't make a fuss. His eyes did linger on her clothes for a moment.

"The material of the clothes is good."

"Hehe, but does it look familiar?"

The woman grinned and licked her lips lightly with a long, thin tongue, which was both weird and scary.

"Haven't you been working on this kind of material these past two days?"

Jiang Jingmo didn't say anything, he just lowered his eyes slightly, but Yingchi, who had been silent for a long time in her mind, was about to explode.

"This woman is practicing the blood-sucking evil technique. She is no longer considered a human being."

Hearing the voice coming from the spiritual platform, Jiang Jingmo raised his eyes to look at the woman's eyes that were emitting a faint light. They were like the pupils of a snake, cold and terrifying.

"What are you thinking about? Are you thinking of asking those people in the inn to rescue you?"

The woman's cold hands climbed up Jiang Jingmo's neck, and her snake-like smooth skin made Jiang Jingmo frown slightly.

"You smell so good..."

She twitched her nose, her eyes revealed madness and desire, her forked tongue kept sticking out and retracting, sticky and disgusting saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth, emitting bursts of foul odor.

The tongue was getting closer and closer to Jiang Jingmo's neck, and gradually formed a hole in the middle, like a blood-red straw, as if it would be inserted into her throat to suck the delicious blood in the next second.

A sharp explosion sounded from the spiritual platform.

“Aaaaaahhh this is so disgusting!!!”

Jiang Jingmo: “…”

Yingchi has rarely spoken since Shen Shuli left. She was so excited at this moment that Jiang Jingmo's brain was about to explode.

But she was not very panicked, because the smiling boss was already standing in front of the cage and stopped the woman's actions.

"Okay, Snake Lady."
