There is a trick

Chapter 40 "Don't look back!"

The bright fire filled the dark room.

Zhou Chang looked at the dozen or so skins roaring in the fire, then he spread out the picture in his hand, stood in front of the dozen or so distorted human skins, and said, "Yes, yes!

None of this has anything to do with me. It was your daughter who brought me here and forced me to burn your wife's skin!"

Bai Ma in the painting was originally calm and composed. Even when he heard the evil Feng Qian speaking in human skin, there was no panic on his face.

But when she heard Zhou Chang's shameless words, her face froze and she felt so angry that her teeth itched.

The fire of sexual desire danced in front of her eyes, and her eyes also danced with charming light.

Bai Ma lowered his head and said softly, "How can my foster father blame me?

It was clearly my mother who had repeatedly asked me to bring this corpse to you as soon as possible so that you could kill the alien soul that was parasitic inside it. If I didn't bring him here, you would still blame me...

Now I have used all my power to bring him here - I have even cast a spell to capture his soul.

At that time, he was like a fish on the chopping board, and his second sister could slaughter him as she pleased.

But the second sister was incompetent and it caused him to come here - the adoptive father should blame the second sister and the eldest sister who did nothing!
Are you blaming me like this because I am not your and your stepmother's biological child and you only treat me as an outsider?"

Her words were so well-reasoned and Zhou Chang was amazed.

Indeed, Paper Face followed Li Xiamei's request and followed the procedure to bring Zhou Chang over.

From a procedural perspective, she was absolutely right.

It's just that she had a slight "deviation" in the execution of the details.

After Bai Ma finished speaking, the flames coming out of the dozen or so human skins in the brazier gradually turned to their normal orange-red color, and the colorful aura faded and disappeared.

I wonder if Heichang Fengqi agrees with Baima's opinion?
Zhou Chang watched the human skin burn to ashes. He put away the picture magazine and left the house.

It's getting darker.

It was dark all around, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

In the ring on his left hand, 'Ao Duoji', which had been silent for a long time, suddenly let out a series of low growls, reminding Zhou Chang that there were dangers lurking around.

In the seven holes on the ring, there is now only the thought of 'Ao Duoji', which makes it seem more lively and agile.

This should be related to the fact that it absorbed the red feasting air that was sprayed from the necks of the two women.

The growl of the Mastiff Doggie was deep and heavy, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. At one point, the pitch suddenly rose and turned into a fierce bark: "Woof woof woof!"

The barking is full of anxiety!

At the same time, a strange laugh and the barking of the mastiff Doggie were heard!

“Uh—ah—hahaha—uh—”

This long-drawn sound, like a donkey's laughter, was close to Zhou Chang's back!
Zhou Chang suddenly felt a chill on his back!
He tilted his head slightly. The anxious barking of the mastiff Doggie in the ring did not slow down because of his action. Instead, it became more intense: "Woof woof woof woof!"

Zhou Chang's neck stiffened slightly, and he realized what Ao Duoji was reminding him of.

"Do not look back!"

He resisted the urge to look back at the donkey's laughter that was pressing against his back, and walked quickly in the dark, knife in hand.

The laughter lasted for a while and then died down.

Bai Ma's light voice reached his ears at this time: "The secular gods are far more terrifying than the demons.

There are traces of the killing patterns of the demons - there are always people who can survive the killing of the demons. But the secular gods are different from the demons. The secular gods will draw a line for the living. If you cross this forbidden line, you will inevitably be infected with its "death omen".

Most of the living people trapped in the death omen will die, unless the secular gods need that person to stay alive. "

"You were smart just now. You didn't even turn around to look for the source of that laughter." Bai Ma's voice had a hint of laughter in it. "If you turn around, you will violate Heichang's taboo of 'not turning back', and you will be infected with the deadly omen that Feng Qi has given you."

"Why didn't you say it just now?

Are you trying to murder your husband? You are so vicious..." Zhou Chang frowned and responded to Bai Ma, trying to identify the direction in the dark.

He actually didn't care what Bai Ma said, what the other party did was the key. This "thought" that floated over from the secret treasure area had an ambiguous attitude towards him, and had many connections with the Treasure King and Lao Feng's family, but Zhou Chang could be sure that Bai Ma was still a target that could be won over to his side.

If she wanted to kill me, she didn't have to reveal too many secrets to me.

But getting close to herself might not be a key link in the process of the person behind her trying to kill her.

No matter what, since she has come, let her never leave.

"You should be killed by it..." Bai Ma's face was tense, but there was a smile in his voice.

Zhou Chang and Bai Ma were joking around as they walked into a large courtyard.

The chill that was close to his back disappeared at some point, and the Ao Dorje in the hole of the ring was quiet, with only the sound of even breathing.

Everything calmed down.

In such a peaceful atmosphere, Zhou Chang saw a grayish figure in the dim darkness ahead, rushing towards him.

At the same time, a timid female voice sounded behind him: "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou..."

That was Bai Xiu'e's voice.

Along with Bai Xiu'e's calling voice, the strange donkey's laughter, and the anxious dog barking sound in Zhou Chang's ring all rang out!
Bai Xiu'e's call from behind soon turned into a cry of pain!

"She... why is she here?

Why is she behind us? "Even Bai Ma hesitated for a moment when he heard Bai Xiu'e's voice behind him!

At this time, Zhou Chang kept his mouth tightly shut, clutched the knife, and strode forward to meet the gray figure.

In the darkness, he didn't see the man's face clearly until he was within three steps of him.

He suddenly increased his speed, got closer to the person walking towards him, and thrust the knife in his hand forward!

"My child disappeared because he bought braised meat from your house.

Can you give me back my baby, please?"

In front of the shop with the signboard reading 'Li Lu Rou', a man knelt on the ground, begging with tears in his eyes to the fat woman in the shop, knocking his head repeatedly, "My old wife is suffering from madness, and now she is not getting better, I am relying on my child to live...

You stole him away, how can I live? You want my family to be destroyed!"

The last rays of sunshine gathered in the distant sky and it gradually darkened. There was no one to be seen on the street. Only the mournful wails of a skinny man could be heard throughout the streets.

The fat woman in the shop was wearing a leather apron. She looked kind, but after hearing what the man said, she said in embarrassment, "Brother, I really don't know where your child is.

Yesterday evening, he bought some braised pork from me, and I saw him go back.

We are neighbors, and your house is right next to my shop. I won't lie to you about these things...

Besides, he brought home some braised dog meat yesterday, didn’t you eat it?
If you've eaten the braised pork, how can you say that your child's disappearance has anything to do with me?"

The fat woman spoke with reason and evidence, and the man could not refute her.

The man could only moan "Ah-ah" and cry weakly.

Perhaps out of pity for him, the fat woman chopped off a dog leg, wrapped it in paper, and handed it to him: "Brother, I have some braised dog meat here, you can take it back and eat it with your sister-in-law.

Now that you are full, look around tomorrow, maybe you can find your baby?"

“I don’t want the meat you gave me!

This is not real meat, this is human flesh!" After a series of blows, the man's spirit was almost broken. He saw the dog leg that the fat woman cut off, and it seemed to have turned into a braised child's leg in an instant!
He nervously opened the fat woman's hand that was holding the meat, and then he got up from the ground, trying to push the fat woman away and rush into the shop: "My child must be with you, I heard him crying through the wall last night, I heard him crying!

I'm going to find him! I'm going to find him!"

The thin body of the man can be described as 'fragile' compared to the fat woman's physique.

The fat woman's face was already a little annoyed when he opened her hand. Then she saw him rushing towards her, her face darkened, and she picked up the iron knife on the chopping board with her other hand!
