Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 455 Massacre of Shuangxi Village ([-]) Second update
"Well, if I don't see your master, how many of you are still breathing? How many of you have other souls in your body? Call them all and release the other souls in front of me, and I will leave."

The man shook his head and said: "So what if you let it out? The physical body is no longer here. If you let it out, you will be a lonely ghost. The world will not accept it..."

"What if you die? What will happen to these souls?" Wu Chen asked.

"With nowhere to go, wandering in the world, waiting to be taken away again..."

"If at the beginning, the body is still there and only part of the soul is taken away, is there any way for you to let the soul return to the body?" Wu Chen asked nervously.

The man waved his hand and said: "Once the soul is sucked, how can a part of it be left behind? It's useless for us to get a part of it. It's troublesome to keep the body..."

Wu Chen felt his head was buzzing. He interrupted the man and asked hurriedly: "Are you saying that if you suck the soul, your physical body will die on the spot?"

"Of course, even if there is still a breath left in the temporary coma, it will not last more than a day and a half. We will not let the physical body live. The physical body is alive and the soul is disobedient... Look, I will answer truthfully whatever you ask. The master has no intention of conquering the country, but he really wants to get Xi Mo before attacking you. Now... we don’t want to get Xi Mo anymore, and we won’t embarrass you anymore. We are still as irrelevant as before, we take a step back, and you don’t How about taking a step back?"

How could Wu Chen hear the next words? All he could think about was... Chen Nanzhu lied to him!
Why lie to him?
The more Wu Chen tried to think clearly, the more his mind went blank. The other side called him a few times, and Xing Yun and others came to him, but he just stood there stupidly.

Xing Yun patted Wu Chen and asked, "Kill them all if you need to?"

Only then did Wu Chen come back to his senses.

A person on the other side said hurriedly: "Don't use force anymore, I'm afraid this mountain won't be able to withstand it..."

"Why do you eat people's souls? Is it for immortality?" Wu Chen took a deep breath and asked.

"This... we don't know very well."

"Did that old man with a face like tree bark swallow a lot of souls?"

"Well...there must be more than us."

Wu Chen nodded. The old man was not the Ghost King. He had already concluded that before. Now he just wanted to confirm it again.

"There are many water ghosts in the river at the foot of the mountain, and there are also many mummies in the caves, and there are even Yin soldiers hiding in them. With so many ghosts, why haven't you put them into your own bodies?"

"Well... we have said enough before. Since you know what we have, you should also understand that we are not unable to fight you, but the mountain is seriously damaged. If we fight again, we may not be able to save our lives. We don’t have any deep hatred, and there is no need to fight to the death. It is only right for each of us to take a step back."

"Can you let me think about it? You go back and recuperate first. I will call you when I think about it."

Wu Chen said and waved his hand.

The few people looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Can you return the sword? This sword is very spiritual and not everyone can control it. Even if you hold it now, you can't stop it if it wants to run away. It’s better to leave it to us for safekeeping.”

"Didn't you guys work together to use it just now?" Wu Chen asked with a frown.

"Of course not, it's just that we talk to it every day and have some feelings for it. It can also sell us some face. You are different. We have special equipment to take care of it..." "Since it is in my hands, it will naturally It's mine, if you want it, you can come and grab it!" Wu Chen straightened his waist and said.

The four people had no choice but to retreat angrily.

……

Wu Chen found a stone house and sat down in front of the door. The surroundings were dark. Xing Yun and others came over and sat around Wu Chen. The boss looked up and looked around and asked softly: "How come there is no one in this stone village? Even if there is no one in this stone village, Where have all the old, weak, women and children gone to fight the battle?"

Wu Chen lowered his head and said, "This is just an illusion for the world to see. In addition to dealing with ghosts all year round, the people of Shuangxi Village also have another characteristic, which is that their words are half true and half false."

Xu Da saw something was wrong with Wu Chen and asked hurriedly: "What did you see?"

Wu Chen thought for a while and said:

"Both they and the person in the palace once said that once the souls they swallowed are released, the world will not hold them back, and they can only become lonely ghosts. This is definitely false. Don't ask me how I know, I just know it! Die! The soul of the deceased cannot stay in the world, there is always a way to send it away, they kept saying that they can’t send it away, but they just don’t want to let it go.”

Wu Chen paused and said:
"Brother Big Tou sealed the entire mountain before he left, and he could only seal it for one night. They couldn't use magic this night, which means they couldn't command ghosts to cause trouble, so no matter what happens in the future, you don't have to be afraid. If you see people, just kill them. If you don't see them, there are none. Don't panic. If the mountain really collapses, you can find a way to hide under the mountain and swim to the other side of the river. Those water ghosts will be killed tonight. You should be unable to move..."

"Of course? What if I can move?" Xing Yun asked nervously.

"Big brother has a shirt with my blood in his hand. You can tear off a piece each and swim over there. The water ghost won't dare to come forward."

"What do you mean? You're just going to tell us about the funeral. You're going to let us go first, and you're going to destroy this mountain? This is the whole mountain!" Gu You said anxiously.

Wu Chen waved his hand and said:
"I used to think that Shizhai was just like an ordinary village, with men and women, old and young, and the two brothers Gu You and Xing Yun are descendants of this Shizhai, and they are the chess pieces they placed in Kyoto. The key is Moments are of course useful.”

"Isn't that so?" Xing Yun asked with wide eyes.

"Is there any human atmosphere here? Have you seen the old, weak, women and children along the way?" Wu Chen asked and then added before waiting for a few people to answer: "You two should be lucky. Fortunately, you are twins, so you are being used like this. Rather than having their souls stolen and their bodies rotting into the mud! This is no place for people to stay, so how can families thrive? I was worried before, if they were your tribe, there would still be treasure in my hands. What should I do if I have relatives who threaten you? It’s okay now, they are not your clansmen, they are your real enemies!”

Everyone understood. Gu You's face was full of anger, Xing Yun lowered his head, and the others frowned and waited for Wu Chen's next words.

Wu Chen looked at Xu Da and asked, "Brother, do you still remember what Aunt Ping was doing when you first met her?"

"Dig a hole and prepare to bury yourself." Xu Da remembered this clearly and answered without hesitation.

"Where to dig?"

"The mass graves. My sophomore year and I were saying that this little lady is too courageous... Have you forgotten? Why do you ask this so suddenly?"

　Happy long holidays!Rest well, play well, eat well and drink well!
