Peach Blossom Button

Bloody smell?

Tao Mo was taken aback, he hurried to the side of the table, his nostrils were immediately filled with a strong smell of blood, how could this familiar... blood smell come from the place where the puppet was stored?unless……

A cold light flashed across Bai Wangyan's eyes, he squinted his eyes, walked to the stage with big strides, and stretched out his hand to pull the heavy curtain covering it.

"Zhu Yun? You still have the face to mention her name!" Upon hearing these two words, the smug expression on Cai Cai's face instantly became distorted. Mo Bin firmly grasped the railing beside the stairs, and his smile became even more terrifying, "If it wasn't for that... If you insist on marrying her, father will not marry her..."

"Shut up!" Mo Li's face was flushed with anger now, he pointed at Mo Bin and roared, "You killed her! If it wasn't for your puppet getting out of control, how could she die in vain!"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, reflecting the sky pavilion under the lake as if it were daytime, and the thunder was deafening, and the heavy curtain was torn off by a white-clothed scholar, revealing a rectangular box as tall as a person inside. , On the transparent jade box made of ice jade, there are bloody handprints all over, and the dried blood even seeped into the jade pattern, like a dense blood net, it is terrifying and extraordinary under the light of thunder!The white-haired old man in luxurious clothes, the blood on his body had dried up, dyed his brocade clothes a brown red, he was lying on his side in the jade box with his eyes wide open, his ten fingers were all stained with blood, and the nails on them had also peeled off. The bloody hole was so ferocious that it was almost pierced through.

"This, this..." Bai Wangyan suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous. He quickly covered his mouth, staggered and took a few steps back. Seeing this, Tao Mo hurriedly supported him. Tao Mo smiled weakly.But the moment Tao Mo helped Bai Wangyan up and raised his head, he suddenly saw that the female puppet originally stored in the jade box was actually sitting behind the corpse. Noticed that the puppet was half covered by the corpse. Now, this female puppet dressed in the same gorgeous clothes has her eyes open. She is stained with blood, and her white cheeks are stained with blood. But in a trance, Tao Mo saw The woman's bright red lips curled up slightly, and a sneer appeared on that beautiful face.

Even Tao Mo, who is used to seeing life and death, couldn't help feeling a chill suddenly rise from behind.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind, and the two young masters finally realized the seriousness of the matter. When they were arguing and about to make a move, Mo Bin suddenly found that Bai Wangyan and Tao Mo were no longer in the original place, and He ran to the platform in the center, and when Bai Wangyan lifted the curtain, the third young master Mo saw his father's tragic situation on the second floor. He took a deep breath, stopped his bad words, and hurriedly When he went downstairs, he almost tripped over his robe.

The two young masters rushed to the central stage in such a hurry.This bloody scene immediately came into view, Mo Li almost seemed to be frozen for an instant, unable to speak or move, he stood in front of his father's corpse, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't squeeze out a syllable.

Completely different from Mo Li's reaction, when Mo Bin saw this tragic scene, he immediately ran to the jade box, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and stuttered to the pale Bai Wangyan, "Wang, Wangyan ...I'm not dreaming, am I? I-Is this real?"

Bai Wangyan didn't answer him, but took another step back and turned his face sideways.

"Why didn't you answer me..." Mo Bin's voice was already extremely trembling, and he looked at Tao Mo as if asking for help, but he couldn't get the answer he wanted. The ruthless reality was so cruel to him A rift was cut in his heart.At this time, there was another rolling thunder from the sky, and the heavy rain smashed the lake above the Tiange.The tragedy of his father and the dry blood were mixed in his sight, and Mo Bin felt that the world was spinning in an instant, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cave. The third young master who had been pampered since childhood suddenly collapsed to the ground. It's like falling rain outside.

"Father...why did this happen..." He finally wept aloud, the hoarse and choked cry mixed with the rain on the Tiange, desolate and mournful.

"Don't cry." Finally recovering from the shock, Young Master Mo tried his best to stabilize his voice, but he still couldn't hide the trembling at the end of the sentence. He walked over slowly, helped himself to cry The third younger brother, who was about to faint, turned around and said to Tao Mo who was beside him, "Tao Shaoxia, please help me, please carry out my father's body with me."

Although his expression was much calmer than Mo Bin's, the eye circles of this Eldest Young Master Mo were already red. He was also extremely sad when he witnessed his father's death. chain.Glancing sideways at his third younger brother who was crying so hard that he couldn't stand up, Mo Li took a deep breath, took out the mechanism wooden bird from his arms, twisted the mechanism, and said, "Uncle Yang, we have found father, but ..." As the words came to his mouth, he suddenly sobbed. The young master, who was pretending to be calm, bit his lower lip and tried his best to hold back the tears that were about to burst out, but his voice was already choked up, "Father, he... passed away. "

After struggling to finish these words, Young Master Mo seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his body. With a wave of his hand, the wooden bird flapped its wings and flew out from the vent above the Tiange.After doing all this, Mo Li walked to the ice jade box with difficulty, and was about to open the lid of the ice jade box, but Bai Wangyan stopped him one step at a time, with a serious expression on his face: " Wait a minute, young master, I see that the owner of the villa died in a strange way, so it's better not to act rashly."

Mo Li's eyes were red, he looked at the white-clothed scholar in pain, and said word by word: "I can't watch my father expose his body in such a tragic state."

"But..." Bai Wangyan hesitated for a moment, but decided to say it, "It's all too strange, why is it here, and what's going on with the puppet behind the owner...?"

Hearing what Bai Wangyan said, Tao Mo suddenly felt a little excited. Did he also see the weird puppet behind the corpse?When Tao Mo looked at the female puppet again, the smile on that puppet's face had faded at some point, and it was as expressionless as the puppets outside the Tiange.His heart was suddenly pulled up again, and Tao Mo's eyes bumped into Bai Wangyan who was talking, and the other party quickly noticed the strangeness in his eyes.

Under the silence, hides the fear.

Bai Wangyan frowned immediately: "Tao Shaoxia, what did you see?"

Now that he had been asked, Tao Mo had no choice but to answer: "That puppet just laughed."

"laugh?"

"Impossible." Mo Li immediately vetoed, "Tao Shaoxia, you must have misunderstood, no matter how exquisite the puppet art is, it is only made of wood and stone, how can a puppet moved by a silk thread magnet have expressions like a living person?"

"I'm not mistaken." Tao Mo replied seriously.

Hearing that he was so sure, Bai Wangyan's heart suddenly felt a little cold, but he still went to the ice jade box to check again, and saw the female puppet sitting safely behind the corpse, dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a gorgeous beaded crown, What's more, this woman's eyes are shining brightly, just like a real person.It is indeed the work of the puppet master Zhou Yuan.It's just that now this female puppet, who looks like a real person, is splattered with blood all over her body. In addition, Tao Mo just said that she showed a fleeting smile, which makes her look even more weird and extraordinary in the dark Tiange.Bai Wangyan sighed, he cast his gaze at Tao Mo, but just shook his head.This puppet was indeed weird, but it was far less weird than what Tao Mo said. He stopped Mo Li because he was afraid that the puppet might hide a mechanism, but Tao Mo's statement was indeed a bit strange.

"This puppet must be the work announced by the master at the birthday banquet..." Bai Wangyan sighed in his heart, a generation of puppet masters has finally fallen, and this Senluo Villa will probably sink into this chaotic world in the future.

Approaching the ice jade box, the more Young Master Mo looked at the female puppet, the more ugly his face became, even worse than when he was arguing with Mo Bin before. His hands were firmly clasped on the ice jade, staring at the The woman's puppet's face showed a fierce face for a moment, completely different from the forbearance before, Bai Wangyan saw his appearance strangely, hesitated again and again, and still called out: "Young master, what's wrong with this puppet?"

"I didn't expect that my father's life's hard work would still be devoted to her! How ridiculous!" Pounding his fist hard on the ice jade bi, Mo Li smiled bitterly, "Hahaha...it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"

Seeing the young master's crazy appearance, Tao Mo was at a loss for a moment. He never thought that such a gentle and forbearing man would lose control because of a mere puppet. I don't know who made this puppet based on it?Could it be like Zhu Yun?He shifted his gaze to Bai Wangyan, only to find that the other party was frowning and holding a fan to his lips, as if he was thinking about something.But when Bai Wangyan was thinking about it, Mo Li stepped forward and opened the ice jade box, and the strong smell of blood rushed to his face immediately. There was no mechanism, and the female puppet didn't make any movements, it was just a dead puppet.When Mo Li saw his old man's miserable state, his chest heaved and heaved, and he was about to cry, but he still tried his best to hold back, walked to the puppet, and carefully moved the corpse away.

But at this moment, a piece of blood-stained jade pendant fell to the ground with a clatter.

Immediately, all four eyes focused on this jade pendant, and Mo Li's eyes sharpened instantly. He carefully put down his father's body, bent down to pick up the jade pendant, and murmured: "This...is not my father's. Jade pendant."

It wasn't Zhuang Zhuang's, so it was naturally left behind by the murderer.
