Returning from the abyss

Chapter 270 Survivor

Peng Morong walked towards the warehouse to the west.

It is generally used to store overproduced agricultural products, and some are the private warehouses of the Herman and Turner families.The warehouse area is not small, but people in the town generally don't come here often, even at times like this.

A small number of people, as warehouse managers, guard the place. They usually only need to watch a few entrances and exits. They patrol occasionally, so the security is not too strict.

This gave Peng Morong a lot of convenience.He bypassed the exit, quickly turned over from the surrounding low walls, and frowned slightly when he landed.

"It's a little inconvenient..."

Just as he was about to go in and find Fujii Yukine, footsteps came from around the corner.

"Who?"

"You really are a devil...Peng Morong."

Peng Morong looked warily at the shadows between the tall warehouses, and raised his right hand in a defensive posture.

"Has your left arm not grown yet? It seems that your resilience is not that strong. If you go to Fujii Xueyin in this state, aren't you afraid of being killed?"

A long and slender hand like a dry bone protruded from the shadow, the wrist twisted, and the index finger pointed to Peng Morong.

"It turned out to be another demon...huh." Seeing this hand, Peng Morong felt relieved, and then sneered disdainfully, "Your reckless actions have already exposed a lot of information about the demon, now don't kill me to get the information The most complete Fujii Yukine, everything will be over when she comes back!"

"Yes, she has grasped the identities of at least four demons, including you." The voice in the shadow chuckled, "Feng Hui asked you to protect her, right? Then she should have met Feng Hui I've met, I think she has already ruled out the possibility of him being a demon in that one-on-one meeting, so she locked you in. Now that you go there, what is waiting for you is a trap."

"Who... are you?"

"We all have to keep our identities secret, don't we? I already know the identities of the five demons, but that's because I'm also a demon. Could it be that you haven't tried the rest of the tourists these days?"

Peng Morong still looked arrogant: "What's the use of inquiring about that? Just based on your actions at the lake house the next night, what qualifications do you have to discuss cooperation with me?"

As he spoke, his body slowly turned black, and a mask-like substance grew on his face. At the same time, a black film popped out of his neck, which quickly turned into the shape of a coat on the surface of his skin.

"Those who don't know how to accumulate advantages can't win. When you guys are lamely completing the mission, I have found the key to evolution. And my natural characteristics are undoubtedly the most suitable for continued development..."

Peng Morong raised his head.

[Tourist Peng Morong, a devil in identity.

Ability: Bleeding Blood (exclusive to Peng Morong), strengthen oneself by absorbing blood, and gain extra demonization time, which is not restricted by night. 】

"Even if I don't rely on you, I can complete the task in fourteen days."

"You really didn't understand the point." The hand slowly retracted, "The point is not how strong you are, but when your demon identity is confirmed by Fujii Yukine and you fail to prevent her from releasing the news, None of us can hide. I don't want to spend the rest of the day evading arrest."

"What do you mean?"

"The plan to slow down is that you give up your plan to kill Fujii Xueyin this time."

"Hehe, as you said, she has already locked my identity as a demon, do you think I will let her live?"

"Then the second plan must be implemented." The voice suddenly became blurred.

Peng Morong immediately flicked out a sharp knife and rushed towards the shadow. At the same time, his whole body had been transformed into a demon, including the left hand that had just been connected and started to move again.

"I didn't use my night time at all! Still can't kill an ordinary person?"

His speed is indeed fast enough to be proud of, and the power he has accumulated in the past few days of secretly killing blood and sucking blood has made him make great progress. Before the demon in the shadow left, he had already been caught up by him, and he slashed straight at the head to the chest.

"Ok?"

The cut material split into two pieces like butter hitting a hot knife, falling into the shadows and disappearing.

This is not normal... Peng Morong's demon weapons have not grown much, which means that the opponent who is also a demon can also block them with weapons, which made him realize that the opponent's exclusive ability does not seem to be his own.

"The prophecy comes out, the suspected wolf dies at night, black and white are reversed, and it is hard to tell the truth from the false."

A whisper sounded from behind, as if the god of death was approaching. Peng Morong hurriedly turned his head, and really saw the shadow of death.

It was the face of a skull, with dark golden flames burning in the hollow eye sockets, and the outer edge of the shattered cloak melted into fragments of black shadows like a liquid, melting into the air, and the bony sharp claws of his left hand had already caught his On his shoulder, and in his right hand, he held a huge scythe like a black moon coming to the world.

The opponent has also been completely demonized!
Peng Morong immediately twisted his body, trying to pierce the blood-sucking bone tubes of his hands into the opponent's body, but he only made half of the movement, and he already found it difficult to move his body any more.

Still a shadow.

When he rushed into the shadows, or at the moment when the other party turned into a shadow and disappeared, the chain-like demon equipment emerged from the shadow cast by the light on him, binding him in place silently .

"We...we are in the same group, aren't we? Why are we killing each other? If we can join forces..." Seeing that the situation was not good, Peng Morong immediately tried to negotiate with the other party.

"Because you rejected my first offer."

The hand on the shoulder suppressed Peng Morong with the last strength, while the right hand swung the sickle, aiming at the top of the head and chopping it down.

"You'll be noticed like this! You can't escape—"

click!
Black blood splashed out from between the two-part mask, and the scythe cut Peng Morong in half from the top of his head to his crotch without any pressure, and didn't even give him time to finish his last words.

"There are two purposes. The first is that I need your corpse to create some more mysteries for humans. The second is... I just want to loudly announce the fact that the witch is about to return."

"Reaper" pierced the split neck with his five sharp fingers and twirled, gouged out the coat that had grown from there, put it around his neck with black blood, and then pinched Peng Morong's head again Dive into the shadows.

When she emerged from the shadow again, Lu Ning had already appeared on the dark wall.

No one would come over the wall that separates the cemetery from the west of the town. She held Peng Morong's corpse in a demonic form with one hand, and began to transform his death form according to her own ideas, while looking at the square of the town in the distance. .

"Countdown, three, two, one."

With the square as the center, several important areas of Baihu Town were lit with fire at the same time, and where the light was generated, shadows naturally appeared.These stakes have given Lu Ning considerable convenience, but now there is only one unlit position, which she specially reserved for herself.

Lu Ning activated Shadow Leap, moved directly to the cross-shaped wooden platform, then pulled off the rope and tied Peng Morong, who was pretending to be asleep, to the shelf.

After doing all this, she stretched out her hand and pulled off a piece of rope left under Peng Morong's clothes, then turned her head and left.

Three minutes later, the townspeople, who were checking everywhere because the fire racks started to burn, ran here. Just when they found a person tied to the fire rack from a distance, bright flames suddenly shone from his seven orifices and body. After finally lighting up Peng Morong's face, the final execution by burning was directly carried out.

"It's Peng!"

"Why is he there?"

At such a critical juncture, any information related to the witch spread quickly. When Lu Ning was sitting in a tin-plated jug ordering mead, the news had already been known to many people.

Fujii Yukine is in trouble now.

Feng Hui knew that Peng Morong went to see Fujii Xueyin alone, and on the other hand, under the hint of Lu Ning returning to town before, Robert should also try to check everyone's room, so the situation in Fujii Xueyin's room will probably be discovered .

Just like the logic of their going to the mine before, if the two coexist, the one who survived will be more suspicious.Although Lu Ning doesn't think that this suspicion inducement can make those tourists really think that Fujii Xueyin is a devil, but as long as there is doubt, it will not be so easy to continue to unite.

And in this way, I will have more leeway...

Lu Ning took a sip of the mead, and spread out her palm, where lay a key stained with rust.

The style of this key is quite special, it does not match the style of most houses in the town, the teeth are thick, and it is still in the shape of an hourglass, which must correspond to a large keyhole.

And she really knows one that fits this size.

The door to the cottage by the lake.

"The unlocked door is locked... Who would have thought of that?"

Although it was a complaint, Lu Ning was very happy now, even a little drunk.

When it was the most chaotic, she just kept it in the open. As for the whole process of killing Peng Morong, no one witnessed it, so there is no need to worry.

"The guest seems to be in a good mood?" Sera walked over.

"It's okay. I saw another side of the town. Although it's not a good side, it also enriched my knowledge." Lu Ning leaned against the bar and talked to Sera with a smile.

"I'm sorry for letting you see such a scene." Sierra sighed, "Everyone is usually nice, but the mayor's matter is too unacceptable, and everyone respects him very much."

"Really? How was your mayor elected?"

"Usually, it is appointed by the former mayor, and then more than half of the town representatives in the town agree." Serra said.

When Lu Ning wanted to ask more questions, suddenly a few men in hunter costumes walked into the tavern and ordered a glass of wine at the bar.

"How many checks are back?" Sera greeted.

"Yeah, I'm really exhausted." A hunter said with a sad face, "The guest was burned to death on the stake, and there is no way to explain this to his companions. The Turner family took the opportunity to ask everyone to dismantle the stake... …It’s all burnt clean and there’s nothing left to disassemble!”

"Why did that thing suddenly burn?" Sera began to serve them wine one by one.

"I don't know! It must have been done by the witch! She knew we were going to use this to deal with her, so she did it first!" A slightly younger hunter said angrily, "She is just restless and kind! We managed to live a peaceful life... ..."

"We won't make that mistake again." The hunter who spoke at the beginning pressed the young man's head, "It's also fortunate that these things happened today, otherwise everyone would continue to act impulsively."

"So everyone's been a little quieter?" Serra asked.

"It's okay, at least I won't clamor to execute the witch anymore."

Lu Ning shook her head slightly beside her. Now that the situation in the town has stabilized, she will have fewer problems to face when she goes to the cottage by the lake tomorrow.

She calculated the time, waited for a while, paid for the drink and went back to the hotel.

A good show is on.

Xia Xinhe is indeed the most annoying person among the tourists, he is the one who yells the loudest in the restaurant.

"There's human evidence! There's physical evidence too! Why don't you deal with that woman! Even if we misjudged it, it's a one-for-one exchange with the devil, which is absolutely guaranteed!"

There were quite a few people in the restaurant, but everyone watched Xia Xinhe perform at the front as if watching a clown.

"One for one? Thank you for saying such a thing." Zhu You, who was sitting by the fire, seemed to have just returned, and mocked with a sneer, "If we really touch Fujii and she is human again, That's equivalent to hurting yourself, do you really think this is playing a game?"

"What's going on?" Lu Ning walked in against the wall, sat on the edge of the sofa, and asked Karl who was sitting here in a low voice.

"This kid is inciting everyone to deal with Fujii Yukine." Carl rubbed his chin, and said with interest, "He is not a devil, but his secret is probably related to Fujii Yukine, otherwise he wouldn't be targeted like this Kill the other party. Hmm... When everyone would not act rashly, they dared to jump like this, is it because they are too lazy to kill him because of their mob status?"

"I heard that Peng Morong died?"

"Yes, after Feng Hui met Fujii Xueyin, he asked Peng Morong to meet her as a test, but he didn't expect him to die." Carl glanced at Lu Ning and smiled, "A little question, Doctor Lu Alibi?"

"I heard the news at the tavern. Where are Peng Morong and Fujii Xueyin going to meet?"

"Hahaha, indeed, it's impossible for you to separate from Robert and quickly find out where they are before going to snipe."

Xia Xinhe was still continuing his speech, Fujii Xueyin hadn't come back, so he could say everything—it's a pity that it was just a matter of lip service.

"Do you know? After Robert came back, he checked the situation in each room, and then came back and asked me a question." Carl shook his finger.

"what is the problem?"

"He said... 'Karl, if we were hostile, would you choose to kill me for this mission?'"

Lu Ning couldn't help but shook her head.

"It doesn't sound good, does it?"

"No, that's a really hard question to answer. Because either 'yes' or 'no' are wrong answers."
