Deputy head

[-]

I was so shocked that I almost forgot the strange omission in his words.

Not long before this, I had just sent Liu Sizhang away at the window. The window of that room was not closed. If he sealed the entire inn, it would make no sense to leave only that window, and he even locked me there on purpose. , did he intend to let me escape from there?

What good would it do him?He has already done many things tirelessly, and it is absolutely impossible for him to let me survive at the last moment...

and many more.

The master of heaven has only one purpose, which is to let me, who is "unworthy of being Lu Qian", die with a crime like Hua Qizheng. As for why the master of heaven insists on completing this plan, it is probably because he wants to completely become Lu Qian. Bar?Maybe he thought that if he did something similar to Lu Qian, he could become Lu Qian.

The window in my room that can be opened at will is definitely reserved on purpose, and it should be able to facilitate his goal.If all the entrances and exits were closed from the beginning, then the guards only need to keep an eye on this window. Why did those people just stand on the street and look around when Liu Sizhang came?

There seems to be only one reasonable explanation-they are waiting to see me go out, waiting for me to escape-once I escape from this window, some purpose of the Celestial Master has been achieved.

While I was thinking about this, the Celestial Master was also slowly approaching me. He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and approached me calmly. Realistically, that was just a waste of time, and he obviously had no shortage of time.

The Celestial Master is looking at me with a smile, as if... waiting for me to think of the window in my room, waiting for me to jump out of the room.

Once I realized this, I suddenly realized that everything became clear, and the last dark cloud that hid the truth completely dissipated.

I stopped, stood still, and looked at Tianshi.He was stunned for a moment, and approached me more slowly: "Are you ready to die?"

"I won't die, and you can't get what you want, you will never be Lu Qian, and," I looked straight into his eyes, "there will be no more Lu Qian in this world."

"Shut up! It's impossible!"

He was obviously irritated by my words, and he looked at me with anger in his eyes, and his stride increased accordingly.

I looked at his furious look, and smiled mockingly: "This inn is not a secret room, you have forgotten the most important one."

Tianshi was stunned for a moment, his anger dissipated a little, but his steps towards me became faster: "I copied Lu Qian's method perfectly, how could it not be a secret room? I have already had people seal up the entire inn!"

"Then, what about my room with Wang Xi?"

Hearing this sentence, Tianshi opened his eyes wide, showing a terrified expression, his face began to flush abnormally, and there was a sound like rolling thunder from his throat.

I immediately turned around and ran to my room. In the empty inn, I could clearly hear the floor creaking in the corridor behind me, and the running sound of the celestial master became more and more chaotic.

He must be very excited. After all, what he expected is about to happen. Even if I don't look back, I can imagine the eager anticipation on the face of the celestial master.

He also admitted that he was imitating Lu Qian. If he was really imitating the actions I took against Hua Qizheng... I used the secret room and the treasure at the beginning, and finally achieved the goal of injustice. Secret room, why not set up a treasure?If the Celestial Master is really imitating me, then there should be something real.

Then I thought, although the Celestial Master has always been constrained by form, he is bold and innovative in content, so the treasure should not be just yellow and white things. After thinking about it, the only redundant things in this inn are those five people I stun the guest.

So far, the Celestial Master has been acting secretly, creating charges, and constantly increasing my suspicions, making me the most likely murderer.

However, there is no conclusive evidence yet.

If someone is instructed by the Heavenly Master to stand up and testify that I am a murderer, although I cannot easily get rid of the suspicion, the other party also lacks direct evidence. In order to increase the strength of persuasion, at least there must be evidence that looks very direct.

In other words, in order for me to take the blame perfectly, the Celestial Master needs to create a piece of direct evidence, evidence that can directly accuse me of being a murderer.Therefore, he left a window in this huge secret room and five more people.

The people in the inn have all left the inn and spread out on the street. It was night now. I saw those outside guests holding fire, and the fire was shining brightly at night. The residents must have been affected. The doors and windows of the inn were sealed very conspicuously. A few families will leave their homes and come here to watch the excitement.

If everything goes according to Tianshi's plan, then the residents who came to see the excitement will become witnesses, witnessing the scene of "the murderer Wang jumped out of the window and left".And the Celestial Master will use the same killing method as before, killing the five people in my house in disorder, and then escape from here.

In future investigations, whether it is those inn guests whose eyes were squinted by the Celestial Master, or the residents of Qingzhu Town who have lived here for a long time, they will only provide information related to me.

In this way, my crime will be completely confirmed, and the purpose of the celestial master will naturally be achieved.

Tianshi can plan to this point, it can be said that he is the best among imitators.

But this is also his most fatal weakness.He can imitate everything about Lu Qian, but there is only one thing that he cannot imitate no matter what - I have never imitated anyone.

At the beginning, Rong Chengxun and I were planning secretly, so Hua Qizheng didn't know what he was going to face until the moment before he found the second secret room, but the celestial master was deliberately imitating Lu Qian's every move , so I know what he is going to do, what he wants to do, and I can even follow his tricks.

The Celestial Master must have been impatient.

I was already standing at the window, and I turned around to see the Celestial Master. He was standing at the door, his whole body was covered with panic, his face was still flustered, but his eyes were full of eagerness, waiting for me to open the window and jump out. He didn't intend to go out from this window, the reason why he pretended to be tricked was to lead him into this room.

I'm going to push the Celestial Master out of the window.

Seeing that I was not moving, the Celestial Master was extremely anxious, and raised his hands at the five people, and I saw the necks of these five people softened. I didn't expect the Celestial Master to be so anxious, in order to force me to escape quickly. Go, actually directly killed these five people.

How can I deal with his invisible means of killing people?Only this point, I, who don't know the key to it, can't beat it no matter what...

"What's the fuss! Listen up, people inside!"

I couldn't help being dumbfounded when I heard the familiar voice outside the window. The person who made the voice was Aunt Wei!

Why is she... Yes, Aunt Wei is also a resident of Qingzhu Town. If something happened at the inn, she would easily think of me, but even if I am destined to die today, I can't involve her.

After thinking about the possibilities ahead, I clenched my fists.

The Celestial Master was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect such a sudden change, and his movements stagnated.

Then a voice came from outside the window: "What celestial master? It is nothing compared to Huang Xiazi! Huang Xiazi not only knows how to tell divination, but also kills people! He uses his internal energy to send secret poisonous gas to the thief's nose, and he will die immediately upon meeting!"

Hearing Aunt Wei's words, I immediately understood that the celestial master in front of me is a disciple of Huang Xiazi, who didn't learn fortune telling, but learned to kill people!He used poison gas!

Tianshi also suddenly understood, and rushed towards me with a ferocious face. I took a sharp breath, then held my breath, and sideways avoided his offensive. The sound outside the window has not stopped.

"Auntie! Auntie!" Sisi's voice suddenly appeared downstairs, "I'm sorry everyone, my auntie has madness, she just saw the bright lights, she was so frightened that she fell ill, I'll take her home now... ..."

I blocked the blow of the celestial master and forced him back to the window.

"It's a pity that poisonous gas is afraid of fire!" Aunt Wei was still pretending to be crazy, but her voice became louder and louder, "It will disperse when it encounters fire!"

Tianshi showed a sinister look on his face: "Except for Zhang Shiwei, the former ministers are still alive. Wang Yi, you are so lucky!"

Hearing what he meant, I thought again, Tianshi wanted to do harm to Aunt Wei downstairs, but at the same time it also showed that he didn't know about Aunt Wei at all, so I had to deal with him here.

The Celestial Master took the first step and threw the porcelain cup at me unexpectedly. Before I could react, my forehead was smashed into blood.

It would be great if I had a hidden weapon near me, but unfortunately I don't have anything now, and I have used up all the three sleep aids before... From this point of view, I can only fight hard!I picked up the candlestick on the side and stabbed straight at Tianshi. After Aunt Wei made a noise, Tianshi lost his position. This stab failed to hurt his vitals, but it also pierced his lower back. When I was at a disadvantage, I had time to breathe and chase after the victory. I was not ruthless at this time. I was afraid that he would be ruthless to Aunt Wei Sisi. With a scream, the force on his legs was relieved, and he fell backwards.I threw the pillow on the side towards the window, opened the casement, and waited for the celestial master to turn over and fall from the building.

But I didn't expect him to hold on by the window.

Tianshi's movements were a bit strange, he seemed to be holding on to his energy, and suddenly he said angrily: "Wang Yi, I finally caught you."

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, but before I opened my mouth, a figure I was too familiar with appeared outside the window.

It is Wangxi.

[-]

Wang Xi flew into the window, and the Celestial Master followed the trend and fell back into the house.

I could only stare blankly at Wang Xi who was showing an anxious expression. At this time, I didn't wear a fake face and stood in front of him with my real face. This was the first time in a long time.He also seemed surprised, stared at me for a moment, and then came back to his senses: "Ah Yi, how are you?"

I wiped the blood on my forehead subconsciously: "I, I'm fine, you... why are you coming up, I can stop him right away, naturally I don't need you..."

"Why not?" Wang Xi frowned, "If something happens to you, will I survive?"

I didn't expect him to say this at such a moment, and I was speechless for a moment, so I turned my eyes to the celestial master who was still writhing on the ground.

The Celestial Master was in great pain, but there was still a distorted smile on his face: "Woo...haha, hahaha! As expected of someone who has been Lu Qian, as expected... as expected, one secret room is not enough."

A secret room?a secret room...

I suddenly understood the meaning of Tianshi's words, and hurriedly dragged Wang Xi to the window. Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the window, and the originally wide open window was suddenly closed, and even the fire outside could not penetrate for a moment.

Wang Xi slapped the window casement with his palm. Although the window was broken, a whole piece of airtight iron plate suddenly appeared outside the window, sealing the window tightly.Wang Xi continued to attack the board in disbelief, but the iron board didn't move at all. I paused and stepped forward to hold him back: "Don't waste your strength."

"Ah Yi?" He looked at me hesitantly, "This..."

"This is the second secret room." I looked at the celestial master on the floor again, "He was imitating me. Back then... it took me two secret rooms to solve Hua Qizheng, so he also kept his preparations."

"What do you mean, imitate you?" Panting heavily, the Celestial Master sat up with his support against the wall, "I am Lu Qian, and that was all my idea... I have ordered you to go down, if you, an evil ghost, don't fall from the building, Then the last window was also sealed, and now... the whole inn is filled with poisonous gas," he suddenly coughed and panted, "It's only a matter of time before you go to the underworld, you inferior product."

No wonder I was hit by him with the porcelain cup just now, I didn't expect that I had already started to be poisoned by then.

It was too late to pay attention to him at this time, Aunt Wei said that poisonous gas is afraid of fire, I have to take Wang Xi to the room of the celestial master, there is a heater there.It's no wonder that even if the room is stuffy, the stove must be lit. The Celestial Master has already made plans, but I'm afraid...

As soon as I opened the door of the room, the Heavenly Master spoke again.

"I... just... have turned off the stove." Tianshi stared at me firmly, and I felt that he seemed to be observing my expression, "You, you will definitely die today."

I felt chills from the bottom of my heart when he saw it, and the hairs on my back rose.

It's just that I die here, but Wangxi is still there, if... if... Just thinking about it, I can't help but tremble.

Wang Xi seemed to sense my panic, and suddenly tightened his hold on my hand: "It's not your turn to decide his life."

I looked at his calm side face, and took advantage of the situation to hold his hand tightly, as if grasping the last straw.

Wang Xi... there must be no accident.
