Wasteland Love Game

Chapter 47

At noon that day, all Taoist personnel received a group message: "The beheader is here"

The message was very short and didn't even have time to add punctuation marks. It is very likely that the disciple sent it with all his strength before he died.

But after seeing this news, the senior elders of Daomen suddenly changed their expressions.The Daomen, which was originally dead due to the house arrest of the disciples, now seemed to be covered with a layer of gray-white dark clouds, which weighed everyone down.

"How could this happen!" Seeing this news, the head of the jade sign immediately slapped the table angrily, smashing it into two pieces.

He originally thought that the beheading person at midnight was hidden inside the Taoist gate.Coupled with the constant pressure from other sects, he blocked the entire sect and placed most of the disciples under house arrest during this great tourist season.

The economic loss caused by the blockade of the Taoist gates for a few days is about to give the head a myocardial infarction.

What is even more deadly is that many disciples have long been dissatisfied with the sudden house arrest, and have protested to the sect in the name of "freedom and human rights".

If this continues, the Taoist sect will collapse like a sand tower sooner or later.

In contrast to other sects, a large number of tourists come to visit every day, and the ticket money makes a lot of money.

As a result, I now tell him that the Midnight Beheading Man just committed the murder?And still in the outskirts of Kunlun District?
So what's the point of their blockade these days?
With an anxious mood, the head of Jade Sign twisted his gray beard and walked out of the door with a worried look.

"Grandpa!" As soon as he went out, a girl in a Taoist robe stepped on the mechanical flying sword and floated in front of him.

"Qiu Xue, why are you here?" The head recognized his granddaughter at a glance and asked with a frown.

Qiuxue on the jade sign said with a smile:
"Brother Xu Qing asked me to give a message to Grandpa. He said that he has passed the investigation and narrowed down the suspects to five people. In a day or two, he will be able to find the real culprit!"

"No need." The head of Yuxian shook his head, interrupting his granddaughter's good news: "Tell Xu Qing to stop busy and come see me."

"Eh? I'll go now!" Yu Xian Qiu Xue saw the worry in her grandfather's eyes, so she didn't ask any further questions, and stepped on the flying sword and went down the mountain.

Not long after, Jade Sign Qiu Xue used a flying sword to bring Xu Qing to the front of the head.

"Grandpa, people have already brought it~" Yuxiu Qiu Xue said cheerfully.

"Grandpa Yuxiao, what's the urgency for you to come to me suddenly?" Due to the overnight case, Xu Qing was so sleepy at the moment, her eyes could not help narrowing.

The Sect Master took a deep breath and said in a slightly pathetic tone, "Just now. Midnight beheaded someone."

"what?!"

Under the explanation of the head, Xu Qing quickly understood the whole story.

"So, the midnight beheader might not be in the Taoist sect?" Xu Qing asked back in disbelief.

"Yes, otherwise how could he have gone so far to commit murder?" The head of Yuxi asked rhetorically.

"Then" Xu Qing pondered for a moment, then gave a guess: "Could it be a copycat? And are you sure the murderer is the person who beheaded in the middle of the night?"

"The message sent by the disciple of the old man before he died, could it still be fake?" The head of the jade sign frowned, his expression gloomy.

"Anyway, it's too hasty to draw conclusions like this. I'm going to investigate the scene!" Xu Qing frowned, obviously it was impossible to believe that things were as simple as they seemed.

The head of the jade sign said: "Someone has already gone to investigate the scene, and the old man will have the body brought back for inspection."

Hearing this, Xu Qing nodded and could only say, "Let's do it like this."

Immediately afterwards, the head took out the liaison device and commanded in a deep voice, "I'm going to hold a sect council and call all the elders here!"

Not long after, the elders of the Taoist Sect gathered together.And Xu Qing was also sitting in the corner of the conference room, accompanied by Jade Sign Qiu Xue.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, the head of the sect opened the door and said:

"Everyone, this old man has decided to reopen the sect and lift the house arrest of the disciples!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

The elders naturally already knew the news that the Midnight Beheading Man had committed another murder, and several Taoist disciples had died.

Although there is no absolute evidence to prove that this case was indeed carried out by the midnight beheading man, it does not matter.

The important thing is that Daomen finally has an excuse to lift the ban and open.

They slaughtered Gusu City together, and the three sects should shoulder the responsibility of the investigation together.As a result, because of the illusory testimony of several tourists, all this black pot was thrown to the Daomen, and the Daomen suffered in vain.

In the past few days, the voices of Daoist disciples calling for the release of house arrest have become stronger and stronger, and the sect's finances have also experienced a sharp decline.On the other hand, the other two sects can hide and watch the show while eating the dividends of the tourist season.

Thinking of this, the Daomen elders felt that they couldn't take their breath.

Seeing that there was no objection from the audience, the head of Yuxi stroked it, smiled and nodded: "That's it!"

"Absolutely not!" Xu Qing hurriedly stood up from the corner and shouted, "Grandpa Yuxi, please block for two more days!"

"Why?" Some elders were puzzled.

Xu Qing's expression was a little anxious: "As long as you give me another day or two, I can find the murderer."

In the original game plot, Xu Qing would indeed find out the real murderer lurking in the Daomen two days after the current timeline, and take advantage of his unpreparedness to directly carry out arrest operations.And Daomen is also willing to cooperate with Xu Qing to continue the blockade.

But things are different now.The Taoist sect already had an excuse to reopen, so how could it be possible to trust Xu Qing's words?
Sure enough, the elders showed sullen expressions and remained silent.

The head of Jade Sign also quickly ordered: "Qiu Xue, you accompany Young Master Xu Qing to play outside!"

"Brother Xu Qing, let's go~" Qiu Xue grabbed Xu Qing's arm and quickly took him out of the conference room.

Seeing that Young Master Xu had left, the head of Jade Sign slammed the table and said, "This is settled!"

The elders got up and agreed, and the conference room cheered.

That's right, so what if the midnight beheader is really hiding in the Taoist gate?
Anyway, the goal of beheading people at midnight is the three major sects and even the entire Kunlun District. Everyone is a grasshopper tied to a rope.

If other sects want to continue to watch on the sidelines, it's a big deal to drag them into the water, and everyone suffers together.

Thinking of this, a frenzied smile appeared in the eyes of the head of Jade Sign.

It didn't take long for the news of the reopening of Taoist gates to spread throughout the Kunlun District.

"Presumptuous! The Taoist sect wants to disregard the safety of the Kunlun District!" The Confucian sect disciples clapped the table and shouted.

"Amitabha, what Daomen did is absurd." The Buddhist monks folded their hands and shook their heads in disappointment.

The tragic incident that happened in the cemetery at [-]:[-] noon, as long as you investigate carefully, you will find that it is not the beheading of people at midnight, but it is obviously a copycat.

But Daomen just needs such an excuse, an excuse that can get rid of this black pot.

Soon, the overwhelming contact letters appeared in the mailbox of Daomen, urging the door to be re-blocked.But all these demands were rebuffed by Daomen.

And Xu Qing, who witnessed all this, could only show a tired look and lie down on the bed helplessly.

Two hours after the door was unblocked, Chen Shuo was sitting on the bed in the hotel room and received a call.

"Long time no see, beheading someone at midnight~" Chen Entropy's mood was very calm, it seemed that the effect of the calming hormone had not completely passed.

"I have a chance to contact you when the Taoist gate is unsealed." On the other end of the phone, the Midnight Beheader asked in a calm voice, "How did you do it?"

"What did I do?" Chen Entropy asked back with a smile.

"..." Midnight Beheader was silent, not knowing how to answer.

"Because I wanted to do it, I did it." Chen Shuo snapped his fingers briskly and gave his high-quality Riddler answer:

"It's often that simple..."

"So what's the next plan?" Midnight Beheader asked the next question.

"I will inform you." Chen Yan said with a smile.
