Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 591 Maybe, It's Artificial
Li Zhu's body was quickly carried up.

In addition to the row of blood holes on his chest, there are still a lot of claw marks on his body. It can be said that half of his body has been torn apart, bloody and bloody.This cruel scene made many people's throats tremble, and Ke Mei tightly covered her eyes.

Ah Yong squatted down next to the corpse, checked over and over again, and gradually, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"It seems that the monster has finally lost all its secrets this time." Ayong turned his head and looked around the crowd, "It inadvertently left some unique clues on the corpse. With these substances as a medium, Then I can use my spiritual skills, track it backwards, and find out where it is! When the time comes, we will go directly to smash its lair!"

Chen Yang touched his chin in confusion: "Brother Yong, can you still do this operation?"

Ayong smiled lightly: "I have been hunting monsters for most of my life, don't underestimate my experience—" stood up and clapped his hands, "Okay. Next, I will start preparing for the practice. In the meantime, everyone Let's go back to rest. Remember, no one is allowed to watch the whole process, and no one is allowed to get close to the corpse, otherwise the spell will not work. After an hour, we will gather here again."

When the crowd dispersed with their own thoughts, the eyes of one of them quietly flashed a coldness like a poisonous snake.

After half an hour.

In the silent night, a shadow was cast on the cool land by the moonlight.

The man bowed his waist, pushed aside the weeds like a thief, his thin body was like a monkey, skillfully bypassed the traps, and touched the outside of the previous hole again.

Li Zhu's body has been dropped back into the trap, and according to A Yong, it must be kept completely original.And for the magic skill to be effective, even the caster himself cannot stay beside the corpse.

Although most of the people were puzzled by this, it seemed to be convenient for the sneaking person. Seeing that there was no one around, he swiftly tore off a grass vine and fell into the trap.After being fixed on the top, he was about to climb up with the situation, but his movements suddenly stopped, and he turned his head as if he felt it.

Oncoming is a bright light.

The leader, Ah Yong, was holding a big lantern. Behind him, everyone in the adventure team was present.

Although the person who arrived first subconsciously raised his hand to cover his face, his face was already invisible under the light.

Wang Daqi!
"Wang Daqi, why are you here? What do you want to do to the corpse?" Ayong covered his face with frost, and the rest of the people also looked at him with unfriendly expressions.

"I...I..." Wang Daqi, who is usually eloquent and quick to hurt people, is hesitating and hesitating, and he can't help squinting into the trap with a guilty conscience.

Without waiting for him to explain, Ah Yong directly raised his hand to push him away, and everyone followed him.

With a flick of the lantern, the dark trap suddenly became bright.

There, still lay a corpse.

The same one was penetrated by a wooden stake, and the same one left a lot of claw marks all over its body.

It's just that it wasn't Li Zhu.

The corpse in the trap had been replaced by the bard at some point.

"This... this is not me..." Wang Daqi was also frightened, and waved his hands hastily, but at this time, no one paid attention to him.

With a gloomy face, Ah Yong directed several people to lift up the bard's body, then he bent down to check again without saying a word.

Everyone exchanged glances in horror.Before that, the frequency of disappearance was always one per night. Why did two dead people appear one after another tonight?Could it be that the monster hiding in the dark finally got impatient to play cat and mouse with them again, and planned to speed up and catch everyone in one go?
During this period, Wang Daqi kept trying to explain, but maybe it was because of the weird atmosphere in front of him, or maybe it was because he had already lost his reputation as a man, no one was willing to listen to his defense, and even the gazes that everyone looked at him were obviously suspicious. With fear and hostility, as if he was that monster that eats people.

Finally, Ah Yong straightened up slowly.But for some reason, he still turned his back to the crowd, standing on the spot in a somewhat stiff posture, with something twisted in his hand.Under the slanting moonlight, it was faintly visible that it was a white feather.At the same time, a burst of elegant fragrance gradually spread in the wilderness.

"Do you still remember..." Ayong said, his voice was unprecedentedly gloomy, "The Piaoxiang Cave we visited during the day, there were many such feathers floating there, filled with such a fragrance. At that time, we were all A lot of…”

"But it doesn't mean anything, maybe that monster has also been to the Piaoxiang Cave?" Someone retorted subconsciously.

Ah Yong was silent.This weird silence was like an invisible hand pinching everyone's throats.

"Guys, I think I have something to announce to you all."

"Perhaps, the murders in the past few days were not done by monsters, and of course they were not ghosts...but man-made."

"And that murderer," Ah Yong turned around slowly, "is among us now!"

When he said these words, the shadows of the swaying trees cast shadows on his face, mixed with his gloomy expression, half-bright, half-blind, ferocious like a ghost.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little terrifyingly silent.

It seemed that instead of wilderness they were now in a grave.

"Among us... is there a murderer?"

It took a long time before Kemei asked tremblingly.

She didn't notice that after her words, the originally crowded crowd suddenly dispersed consciously.The gap between them is getting bigger and bigger.Now, everyone in the team is untrustworthy, everyone may be the murderer!

"Actually, I have long suspected that the murders these days are man-made." Ayong turned a blind eye to the strangeness of the crowd, and still spoke in that flat tone.

"The total time I spent dealing with monsters may be more than the time I spent dealing with humans. So I know very well that with the usual habits of monsters, if they want to hunt and kill humans, especially when the team has nothing to do with it If there is no threat, they will never be dragged away like this."

"For monsters, they don't need to play any tricks at all. Killing aliens and filling their stomachs, their ideas are that simple. As for creating panic among the crowd and keeping themselves out of the way, that is only some smart human beings." what the hell..."

"So I told you on purpose before that I found the clues left by the monster on the corpse. I can track it backwards to lock its location, and I specifically ordered you not to approach the corpse, and completely emptied this area, just to test it out. Let's see if some of you have a guilty conscience... But now it seems that the fish really took the bait."

As soon as Ah Yong finished speaking, everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Daqi immediately.

Zhang Zhidang took a step forward: "Wang Daqi, you really are the murderer, right? These two people died in your trap, how do you explain it?"

Wang Daqi blushed from holding back, and it took him a long time to yell out: "If I really want to kill people, do I need to kill them in a trap? Isn't this clearly making you suspicious?"

Zhang Zhi immediately interjected: "That's right! It's because you knew we would think this way, so you deliberately came here... this is called...'doing the opposite'! Besides, Ah Yong clearly said that everyone should not Near Li Zhu's body, why did you come here? It's because you heard what Ayong said and worried that you left clues on Li Zhu, so you came here in a hurry to deal with the aftermath!"

Wang Daqi said anxiously: "I was afraid that the murderer would frame me..."

"Why did the murderer frame you?" Kemei blinked her big clear eyes, "Could it be, do you know who the murderer is?"

Zhang Zhi's upraised fingers flicked immediately, and the whole person followed his figure and turned sharply.

"Kemei, don't pretend to be confused! You were the first to find Li Zhu before. According to my experience, there are many cases where the first person who found out was the murderer! Did you kill Li Zhu? , before he had time to hide the corpse, he hastily pushed him into Wang Daqi's trap?"

Ke Mei had never been subjected to such severe accusations before, her eyes turned red immediately: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Xiao Mei kill someone!"

Zhang Zhi smacked his lips: "Yes, you have deceived everyone with this innocent and harmless appearance! But in fact, you are a female devil on the inside..."

Zhou Yuyan couldn't understand Zhang Zhi's much ado about nothing, she protected Kemei, and said impatiently: "After you say this, then you say that, who is the murderer, do you have a clue?"

Hearing her question, Zhang Zhi scratched his head in embarrassment: "Not yet... But I dare say, except for me and Aze, everyone here is suspect!"

"In my opinion, you are the most suspicious!" Su Yanmo also joined the dispute, pointing the finger at Zhang Zhi, "Doubting this and that all day long, diverting everyone's attention, you are calling a thief and calling for a thief!"

Zhang Zhi was furious: "You spitting blood!" The two accused by him before also made up their swords one after another. A crusade continued to escalate, and the scene quickly became turbulent.

"Stop arguing!" Ye Shuo cleared his throat, "Listen to me, the fragrance in the Piaoxiang Cave is actually emitted by a substance called 'phosphorus sand powder'. It is non-toxic and harmless. However, once it comes into contact with blood, it will quickly produce a toxin, which is quite toxic. If you want to save your life, you have to cut the blood and release the poison."

Ayong glanced at him in some confusion, and in the end he didn't know what he thought of, and nodded to everyone cooperatively: "Yes, if there is a murderer among us, I believe he is just confused for a while. I will leave you a day , Let the toxins out of your body first, there is no need to make fun of your own life. But I hope, then you can take the initiative to confess to me."

That said, that's all for now.

Under the different thoughts of everyone, the time passed quickly to the next night.

"Shen Xinglie, what do you think of the past few days?" Ye Shuo leaned against a big tree, closed his eyes and fell asleep, but he was communicating with Shen Xinglie in his mind.

"I can only say that every time someone disappears, I don't feel any evil spirit." Shen Xinglie replied lightly.

"Oh, life is so full of mysteries—" Qing Xiangxiong entered the state of meditation again after inserting a sentence of emotion.

Ye Shuo exhaled lightly, opened his eyes halfway, and briefly glanced in another direction.At the same time, a sound transmission sounded in his mind.

"Brother Ye, at the end of the day, I have been watching very closely, and I haven't found anyone bleeding to cure poison. Could it be that we really misunderstood everyone?"

"It's also possible that the other party knew something about phosphorous sand powder, so they weren't fooled." Ye Shuo still didn't dare to take it lightly.

It is true that the substance emitting that aroma is phosphorous sand powder, but it is purely Ye Shuo's nonsense that it will be highly toxic when mixed with blood.

His purpose of saying this is to take advantage of the murderer's fear and let the other party show his feet.He had heard a lot of similar methods in folk stories, and he was hooked at the time, always looking forward to implementing it himself.At that time, he also sent a message to Ah Yong, hoping to get his cooperation.However, the effect of this first practice seems to be unsatisfactory.

"In this case, Chen Yang is very suspicious." A Yong frowned, "With his experience in the wild, it's not unusual to know such uncommon common sense. But I always feel that there is one person that cannot be ignored... "

"Wang Daqi!"

"Su Yanmo!"

What the two said at the same time was two completely different names. After hearing this, both of them were taken aback.

"That Wang Daqi is a bad gambler, and he owes a lot of gambling debts." After a while, Ah Yong took the initiative to explain, "When he talks like that, he wants others to beat him. Once someone else makes a move first, he will act violently in the street. They are clamoring to drag the other party to report to the officials. When there are more people onlookers, most of them will think they are unlucky and spend their money privately.

Even his unique skill of digging traps was practiced in order to hide from his creditors... This time he entered the Demon Realm because he wanted to make a fortune.And you don't know, he owed Li Zhu a lot of money in the casino, and Li Zhu's death freed him from a large debt, it can be said that he had a sufficient motive to kill—"

Ye Shuo waited patiently for him to finish, and then said calmly: "A person with a motive does not necessarily mean that he is a murderer. But sometimes the more well-dressed he is, the more sinister intentions no one else has... Let's say that Su Yan Mo, although he looks like a human being, have you seen his eyes? I think his eyes are full of scheming. "

Ah Yong smiled indifferently: "Actually, I noticed it a long time ago. Do you have a prejudice against Su Yanmo? Looking at people with colored glasses, naturally there are problems everywhere, and what is right will be regarded as wrong." Yes. I know, that kid is usually quite arrogant and really not very flattering, but he still can't do murder and arson."

He stopped Ye Shuo's rebuttal with a wave of his hand, and said, "Do you still remember the poem that the deceased read before? There is such a sentence in it, 'The epee has no edge, but the great weapon is late." Can we look at this? Yes, he saw through the murderer's true face early on, and hinted through the poem, but unfortunately only the murderer noticed it, and then silenced him? Besides, I probably haven't told you, in fact, on the second body, except for the feather, And found this thing…”

Ah Yong's palm slowly spread out.

In the palm is a string of rosary beads that Wang Daqi often hangs around his neck.
