Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 846 The Beloved's Night Visit
My first day back in the new village.

Wu Xian appeared to be smiling, but in reality, he was on high alert, wary of any possible attack from anywhere.

He also took the opportunity to investigate the condition of livestock throughout the village.

According to the villagers, the fire the night before last terrified the village's livestock. Many animals broke free of their ropes and escaped in the chaos. At least two or three hundred animals went missing throughout the night, which is a considerable economic loss for the village.

Fat Tiger was gesturing with his two paws towards Wu Xian at the place where the cow was tied up.

The old ox that had wrestled with it and had its claw mark left on its forehead by the cat also disappeared.

Wu Xian picked up the rope from the ground. Both the end tied to the stake and the end that went through the cow's nose were intact and showed no signs of damage.

In addition, Ge Feng visited Wu Xian twice to discuss the aftermath.

Apart from all of the above, nothing else happened all day.

On the contrary, Wu Xian was so nervous that he was exhausted and fell asleep on the bed in the guesthouse before midnight.

The next day, Wu Xian woke up early.

Today we are holding a funeral for the villagers who perished in the disaster.

The villagers who had been transformed into beastmen all survived, but some villagers who lived in the burned-down houses were burned to death inside because no one was there to put out the fire.

The entire second day was oppressive and sorrowful, with no funeral feast or traditional banquet served.

That evening, Wu Xian felt that things couldn't continue like this any longer.

It's a good thing that the village is safe.

But Wu Xian didn't come back for safety reasons.

He wants to use himself as bait to lure out the mastermind hiding behind the scenes. What's the point of wasting time playing house with the villagers?

So, Wu Xian, along with He Chunyan and two others, found Ge Feng, who was busy rebuilding his new house.

"Uncle Ge, I think the cleanup work in the new village is almost over. I had a great time with Xiao Wang, Xiao He, and Xiao Yang. I was thinking of taking them to Fuyuan City for a few days tomorrow."

"no!"

Upon hearing this, Ge Feng immediately refused and then winked at Wu Xian.

Wu Xian understood what he meant. There weren't many relatives here to begin with. What if Wu Xian took the three of them to Fuyuan City for a few days and then they didn't want to come back?

But as soon as he heard the word "no," Raven Sangbiao flew down and pointed at Ge Feng's nose, cursing loudly:
"Old man, old man!"

Yes, He Qiao and the other two's pets were also present during this conversation.

Because they had used up all their prayer energy, the three of them felt very insecure and spent the last two days in the new village clinging to their pets.

Seeing the expectant looks in the eyes of the three people and three beasts, Ge Feng knew he couldn't stop them any longer, so he said helplessly:
"In that case, you should all get some rest tonight. Make sure you get up early tomorrow and come back as soon as possible, as I'm short-staffed here."

Having received Ge Feng's approval, He Qiao and the other two, along with their three beasts, cheered excitedly.

Wu Xian, standing to the side, also smiled.

Whoever overhears this conversation will certainly not be as 'safe' as they were the previous two nights!

……

As night deepened, the air conditioner blew out cold air.

Birdsong and frog croaks drifted in from outside the window, and all sorts of tiny insects, drawn to light, clung to the glass, trying to squeeze into the room and revel in the lamplight.

Wu Xian sat at the table, loading bullets one by one into the magazine, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Fat Tiger was fast asleep on the bed with his belly exposed, while Blackie should be in Cui Yundi's room.

Wu Xian was initially puzzled by his dog's tendency to stick close to others, since Hei Gu wasn't a male dog.

But Wu Xian soon found out the reason.

In his spare time, he browsed Xiaopinshu (a Chinese social media platform) and unexpectedly discovered that Hei Gu had shared several videos with him, including one posted by Cui Yundi, also known as "Big Dior." So, Hei Gu's inexplicable closeness to Cui Yundi was because…

This dog is a fan of a celebrity!

This possibility was too far-fetched, but it was the only reasonable explanation, so Wu Xian could only laugh and cry and let Hei Gu slack off.

Boom, boom, boom.

Suddenly, there was a knock on Wu Xian's door.

Wang Chunyan cautiously pushed open the door, poked her head in, and asked Wu Xian, "Mr. Wu, may I come in?"

Wu Xian hurriedly waved to her: "Come in quickly, if you stand at the door any longer, the bugs in my room will form a football team."

Wang Chunyan crawled in and sat on the edge of the bed.

Wu Xian asked, "Is there something you need from me so late?"

Wang Chunyan hesitated and said, "Yes...and no?"

Wu Xian raised an eyebrow: "Are you speaking in riddles?"

Wang Chunyan hurriedly shook her head: "I do have something to discuss with you, but I don't know what it is. I just noticed that you seem off, and I'm sure you're hiding something from us."

"No way, you're overthinking it," Wu Xian immediately denied.

Wang Chunyan stared into Wu Xian's eyes, her tone somewhat agitated:
“We are also your followers, and we can fight alongside you. Even if you don’t say it, I can tell there’s something strange going on in the village these past few days.”

“Take that uncle who sells mountain products, for example. He used to love making dirty jokes, but he’s been very serious with me these past two days.”

"Yang Xingxing's raven loves to imitate the villagers' swearing, but these past two days the villagers have rarely swore in private, making the raven eager to go to Fuyuan City to play."

“Yang Xingxing and He Qiao may not have noticed these abnormalities, but I have seen the oddities. How can you think everything is normal?”

"The matter of the six-colored deer is probably not over yet!"

Wang Chunyan finished speaking in one breath, her eyes glistening with tears. This simple and honest girl sensed a deep distrust from Wu Xian.

Feeling guilty under her gaze, Wu Xian rubbed his hair in distress.

"Okay, I'll tell you now..."

……

In the guesthouse room.

Wang Chunyan held Pang Hu in her arms, her eyes wide, listening to Wu Xian's opinion like a student listening to a lecture.

"From the very beginning, I felt that this incident involving evil spirits could not have been the work of that missing internet celebrity alone."

"It's not a trivial matter that would warrant me being invited here from Fuyuan City."

"So when I first arrived at the new village, I asked Li Qiuhong about the legend of the six-colored deer, and this information coincided with my guess."

"Therefore, I really thought the mastermind behind it all was the six-colored deer."

"Subsequent investigations have corroborated this point. Information obtained from the villagers pointed all the suspicions to Li Qiuhong."

"But the information was given too bluntly and the way to obtain it was too easy, so it seemed like someone was deliberately telling me this information, which made me start to doubt the authenticity of the legend of the six-colored deer."

"That night, the disaster struck."

"The village caught fire, and the villagers turned into beasts. Li Qiuhong no longer hid and appeared in front of us in the form of a wild beast."

"I also discovered through my abilities that Li Qiuhong was just a puppet."

"So after the battle at the foot of the mountain ended, I went to where Li Qiuhong lived and, as expected, discovered a lot of shady dealings."
