People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 67 67. The Thousand-Change Witch and the Real and Fake Ma Xiaotao!

"I will go back to the palace first and tell my brother about all this. Let him make the decision."

……

The scene changed to the Xingluo Palace, inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

“Royal brother, this is what happened. I wanted to select a prisoner who looked like Huo Yuhao from the death row and put him in an ice coffin to serve as Meng Bingyu’s body. But I felt that this was not appropriate, so I came to ask you for your decision.”

After saying that, Xu Jiujiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as these troubles were finally resolved.

After listening to Xu Jiujiu's narration, Xu Jiawei paced back and forth in the Hall of Mental Cultivation with his hands behind his back, and began to deduce the cause and effect of the case.

Huo Yuhao and Meng Bingyu, at the entrance of Starlight Hotel, faked their death?

Xu Jiawei frowned and said, “Little sister, do you feel that we seem to be missing some information? Judging from Huo Yuhao’s reaction, the name Meng Bingyu and the scorpion tattoo on the back of Meng Bingyu’s right hand must have extraordinary meaning to him, but all of this... we don’t know.”

Xu Jiujiu pondered for a long time and said, "Yes, this series of events seems incredible, but many clues can be traced. For example... the name Meng Bingyu. She could have planned this series of events as Tang Sheng, but she kept her name. It seems that she was conveying some kind of message to Huo Yuhao."

After that, the brother and sister smiled at each other. Since they could not find out the secrets, they would take them to the grave. Even if they shared this information with Huo Yuhao, it was not certain that he would bring any benefits to the Xingluo Royal Family. Who would be willing to do something that was thankless?
……

Huo Yuhao had no idea about the Xu brothers and sisters’ plans. At this time, he followed Xu Sanshi to the official office established by the Star Luo Empire.

The person in charge of reception was Xu Ying, whom they had met once before.

The moment he saw Xu Ying, Huo Yuhao could not hide his excitement and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Manager Xu, how is the case going at noon? Do you have any clues?"

"This..." Xu Ying showed a professional smile on her face, "There is already some clues. The law enforcement team has captured three soul masters who are suspected to be the murderer. They have been transferred to the prison of the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. Please wait patiently. As soon as there is any news, it will be delivered to you as soon as possible."

“Then I’ll trouble Manager Xu.” Huo Yuhao bowed and was about to leave when he suddenly saw the scorpion on the back of Xu Ying’s right hand... a tattoo?
Huo Yuhao asked curiously, “Manager Xu, what’s the matter with the tattoo on your hand? I remember… you didn’t have this tattoo on the back of your hand in the afternoon.”

Xu Ying explained, "That's right. In order to investigate the case, they will definitely check all the items on the deceased, including the tattoo on the back of the hand. After investigation, it was found that the pattern on the back of Meng Bingyu's hand was not a tattoo, but a tattoo sticker. They are sold in the commercial street. In addition to the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, there are also Bright Holy Dragon, Nine-Hearted Begonia, Star Crown and other styles."

As she spoke, Xu Ying picked up the kettle and dripped a few drops of water on the back of her right hand. "Look, this tattoo sticker dissolves in water and can be easily washed off without any residue."

After seeing the tattoo that had completely dissolved, Huo Yuhao’s heart finally settled down. It turned out to be a tattoo sticker, not the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion spirit... Then it should have little to do with him. There is no second or even third Huo Yuhao. Is it just a pure coincidence?

Just like that, Huo Yuhao and Xu Sanshi left the office. They didn't know that Xu Ying was standing behind them, watching their receding figures, with a faint smile on her face. Soon, it was evening, and after handing over her shift, "Xu Ying" declined the invitations of other colleagues and returned to her residence in the South City area.

The mansion was not big, and the courtyard was in a mess, as if it had not been cleaned for a long time. "Xu Ying" closed the door, returned to the room, collapsed on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

Suddenly, "Xu Ying" tore off the disguise on her face, revealing her true face. If Huo Yuhao was here, he would be shocked, because... this woman's face looked exactly like his.

That’s right, this woman is Meng Bingyu, you can also call her...Aying!
Ever since Ah Ying condensed her physical body using Huo Yuhao as a template, she was surprised to find that the second soul skill of her Lingmou martial soul - camouflage - had been enhanced to an epic level. It could not only simulate the color of soul rings, the aura of soul masters and soul beasts, but also various martial souls and soul skills, and could even create a human skin mask that could cover the entire body!

Today, she played a trick of replacing the original with the fake in front of Xu Jiujiu. After devouring Xu Ying's soul, she disguised herself as Xu Ying and appeared in front of Xu Jiujiu in a swagger. Xu Jiujiu and the old lady Manyi hiding in the dark did not notice any clues, which made Aying's mind completely active.

The martial spirit ability of the great God King Huo is extremely useful. He can replace Xu Ying without anyone noticing under the perception of a Titled Douluo. Can she... kill someone and completely replace the other person's identity?

This time, even Qin Yi did not expect that Ah Ying would be so cruel. Not only did he kill the other person, but he also took over his identity and possessed everything he had...

Qin Yi was wrong, Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu were all wrong. From the beginning to the end, Aying simply wanted to test her disguise ability. All the preparations she made were just her bad taste and she didn't want to convey any message.

Just like that, Aying lay on the bed, looking through the information of the participating students. This was the list she had secretly copied by taking advantage of Xu Ying's position.

As for male spirit masters, well... I won't consider them for now. Since I have to replace someone's identity, I have to do my best. She is a woman. No matter how realistic her disguise is, she can't become a man. She doesn't have certain functions.

"Meng Hongchen, the eldest daughter of the Hongchen family, the half-sister of Young Master Xiao Hongchen. Well... not very good. She has too many family members, and it is too troublesome to deal with them."

"Juzi, the Crown Princess of the Sun Moon Empire, huh? Suspected to be pregnant? Forget it, even if you can pretend to be pregnant, it takes ten months of pregnancy and one day of birth. It's easy to fake it, and there will always be a day when you will be exposed."

"Lin Yue is fine, but Jing Hongchen is too powerful. He is not that old woman Manyi. If he catches us, we will be finished."

"Xuan Zi... eh? He spends most of his time in the tavern. The team leader Li Wannian only has the cultivation level of a Soul Sage. We can choose one person from the Shrek team to replace him."

"Xixi, Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao...it's her!"

As he spoke, Aying tapped on Ma Xiaotao's portrait several times.

(ps: Ma Xiaotao has a substitute doll, the real Ma Xiaotao will not go offline, she will just... ahem, you know what I mean)
