"You don't know how much courage I mustered when I bought these shells." Pei Min said proudly.

Again.

Gongsun Xiaotao held her forehead with her hand in pain, then solemnly pressed Pei Min's shoulder and said, "Brother, snails are really not scary. I really beg you not to run behind me when you see a snail next time..."

"No, you don't understand... they will be useful."

*******

Qiu Chui is the enemy's final killer.

Hall Master Luo Han also didn't want to take advantage of his enemy's family, but the enemy was a family that was too outstanding and they monopolized the top 18 places on the Killing Hall's killer list by themselves.

If they can't do it, then no one in the Shashou Hall can do it.

In addition, the sect is currently training for the gifts to be given to the Jiexian Palace during the Dragon Boat Festival. Most of the outstanding and strong disciples have been called over and are undergoing secret transformation or helping with the transformation... This means that his available manpower is very limited now.

Moreover, he couldn't let the leader know that he had lost seventeen excellent killers, so he had to keep a low profile and quietly find these seventeen missing killers.

He didn't believe that they were dead, and the best way to save everything was to send out all the forces he could mobilize to find out the situation and bring them back.

"You must be careful this time. Your main purpose is to investigate the situation. You don't need to carry out the assassination plan... Don't show any murderous intent before you find out the situation."

Luo Han reminded again and again.

He felt very heavy.

Because he had no idea what was happening over there.

It's not that he has a problem with his brain, but he keeps sending disciples of the Killing Hall to be killed.

After the third disappearance he changed his strategy.

After Qiu Jian disappeared, he sent out three teams, totaling fourteen people, all to investigate the situation.

Although the three waves of people that followed all brought relay crystals, the crystals would always suddenly lose signal and could not transmit back any useful information.

For this reason, Qiu Jian judged that there should be some strange shielding positions and locking arrays there that could prevent signal transmission and cut off the connection between himself and the seventeen disciples.

Therefore, it is very likely that the seventeen disciples are still alive, but are trapped.

Then you should look for it.

This time, he hardened his heart and took out his long-treasured treasure - the transparent mirror.

The effect of the transparent mirror is that it can penetrate all barriers of the formation and broadcast the images from the other side in real time.

"Formation, hum..."

This time, Luo Han will open his eyes wide and watch it personally to see what tricks are hidden in that small novice village!

(1/1)

(My recent condition is really not good, especially today. Maybe it's because I have updated too many times this month, so I feel a little weak at the end of the month. Various physical problems have popped up. I'm really not accumulating manuscripts to cheat votes at the beginning of the month or something...)

(But I will still try to update a lot at the beginning of the month to make up for my slackness in the past few days. I am really sorry.)

45. Fake ghosts

Qiu Chui squatted on the edge of the cliff, quietly waiting for the night to fall.

A big yellow dog was lying at his feet.

Qiu Chui did not provoke it. Instead, he carefully took a step to the side and kept his distance.

The big yellow dog kicked his chin, seemed to feel bored, and ran down the mountain wagging his tail.

[It's almost time, act now, but proceed with caution. ]

The voice of Hall Master Luo Han came from the communicator plugged in his ear, and Qiu Chui nodded.

He looked down at the village.

Smoke from dinner rises from every household, and the air is gradually filled with the mixed aroma of firewood and vegetable oil.

The old men sat at the entrance of the yard playing chess, while the women squatted by the river washing clothes and chatting.

Everything in the Novice Village seems so peaceful and harmonious.

Unfortunately, they provoked someone they shouldn't have provoked.

Qiu Chui sighed lightly, stood up and walked down the mountain.

At the critical moment, he lifted his foot and dodged a snail that was crawling hard under his feet.

Then he walked towards the entrance of the village near the sea and heard an old couple arguing in a local dialect.

"How am I inferior to that widow? Am I not a little fat? I have worked so hard to get up early every day to make dry food for you! You ungrateful bastard! Why don't you just die!"

"Bang—crash—"

The window glass shattered with a dull sound, and a dark yellow rolling pin flew past Qiu Chui's head with a whistling sound.

The quarrel in the house was still going on, and Qiu Chui wisely chose to take a detour into the village to avoid being affected.

"Give it!"

A skinny middle-aged man staggered past Qiu Chui carrying a shoulder pole, and the basket almost hit him.

Qiu Chui narrowly escaped the attack, feeling that everything in this small village was truly normal.

He didn't understand why so many of his colleagues had disappeared in such a poor and old fishing village.

He continued walking forward and saw several children throwing their bags.

The pocket was very exquisite, with a small trademark printed on it. Many things in the village had that trademark - a small fox tail.

Qiu Chui walked around the child playing with pockets and dodged the strange pockets flying towards him. He noticed that there was the same trademark on the plaque of the blacksmith shop. It seemed that those things were produced here.

There are so many types of work in this blacksmith shop.

Qiu Chui was curious, so he decided to climb over the wall and check the situation.

There didn't seem to be any anti-theft devices installed on the courtyard wall, and the owner of the courtyard seemed very careless.

The yard was empty except for a scarecrow stuck against the wall to measure damage.

The scarecrow also had the blacksmith shop's logo printed on it, and was swaying gently in the wind, revealing a sense of irony that seemed to deserve a beating.

Qiu Chui was cautious and did not touch the straw man. After casually exploring the yard and finding nothing, he climbed over the wall and left the same way he had come.

However, as soon as his feet touched the ground, Qiu Chui was stunned.

In front of him was a scarecrow.

It was undoubtedly the scarecrow in the yard just now. Qiu Chui remembered the sword marks on it and chopped it horizontally and vertically on the scarecrow's face.

But...how did it get here?

Qiu Chui jumped up and looked inside the courtyard wall, and sure enough, he saw that the scarecrow inside the wall had disappeared.

There is obviously something fishy about this scarecrow.

I really want to chop it off...

But no, if you still take action when you know that this is a magical weapon, it will be an act of seeking death. What if this thing explodes?

Better to shake it off.

Qiu Chui exerted force with his legs and his figure flashed suddenly!

In a blink of an eye, he disappeared to the east entrance of the village.

Now it should be... eh?

Qiu Chui turned around and saw that the strange scarecrow with a cross cut on its face had been standing quietly behind him without him knowing when.

Qiu Chui swallowed and suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him became a little weird.

Just as he was about to open his mouth and ask questions, he suddenly saw a white shadow flash by and disappear into the alley.

"who?!"

Qiu Chui hurried to catch up, but found that the alley was empty.

That's weird. I clearly saw a shadow flash by just now...

Is there a secret passage here?

"Woo——"

Just as he was wondering, a shrill and distant cry came from somewhere.

"I died so miserably..."

Qiu Chui's hair stood on end.

What made him even more uncomfortable was the sinister gaze behind him... Qiu Chui didn't understand why he could feel the gaze from a scarecrow.

But he did have the feeling that he was being watched by a scarecrow, perhaps it was a guilty fantasy, or something else.

The mixture of fear and rage gave him a strong urge to punch the scarecrow.

But he held back once again… He knew that the best way to live longer was to not touch anything and not show any hostility.

"Woo——"

There was another burst of crying, and this time Qiu Chui was able to identify the direction.

As a monk, Qiu Chui is not afraid of ghosts.

But he was afraid of people who played tricks.

So he decided to run in the opposite direction.

However, just as he reached the entrance of the alley, a petite figure that looked abnormal in every way stopped him.

It was a little girl doll with disheveled hair, who appeared here at some point in time.

She didn't move, but a voice came from her stomach: "Come and play with me..."

Qiu Chui said nothing and jumped over the little girl's head...but he just happened to see a hanging body dangling from a crooked tree in the distance.

What the hell is this place!

What on earth happened just now?

Even though he had no fear of ghosts, Qiu Chui was also panicked at this time.

Perhaps all of this was done by a powerful person hidden here... But judging from the methods used by this powerful person, if I fall into the hands of the other party, I will definitely not have a good ending.

What was even more terrifying was that he suddenly found that he could not escape.

He could see the edge of the village and could run towards it, but no matter how fast he ran he could not reach it, as if he was standing still.

It's so weird, as if something has affected my cognitive ability...

"This is the residence of the Ghost King, the gateway to Hell. Who dares to provoke the Ghost King?!"

A rumbling male voice suddenly echoed in the sky of the small village, waking up the entire village.

Portal to Hell?!

Qiu Chui was immediately scared half to death. A lot of strange situations connected together made him believe most of the words of that voice.

The horrific punishment of hell appeared before his eyes, making his legs go weak.

Of course, a good killer wouldn't break down so easily.

No matter if it's a hoax or a real portal to hell, there must be a way to escape it.

He decided to kidnap a villager to find out the truth.

He caught a glimpse of a white shadow flash by, making a ghostly sound, running out of a house and disappearing behind a wall, looking like it had just done something bad.

He couldn't catch Bai Ying, but he could still catch the villagers in the house.

So he walked to the gate of the house and put his hand on it.

However, the door opened by itself.

"Why are you making noise so late at night?!"

“Bang—Ka—”
