How could he be the devil

Chapter 20
Xiao Bailing grabbed the cup and drank the tea in one go.

Xiao Chengying added another glass, and he continued to drink.

After three full cups, he felt better.

Xiao Chengying looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Why are you nervous?"

Like a little mouse whose tail was caught by someone, Xiao Bailing felt quite guilty, "Who is nervous, I am not, I just... just accidentally choked, don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Chengying sneered, "So that's it, then you eat first, I'll go to the kitchen and ask."

Just as he was about to leave, the boy grabbed her arm, "Hey, you...don't go out, it's very cold outside, if you want to eat, I'll give you the remaining two yuan, so don't run away gone."

His little thoughts are all written on his face, he can't even lie to others, stupid...cute.

Xiao Chengying stretched out her index finger unconsciously, and gently wiped the crumbs from the corner of Xiao Bailing's mouth with her fingertips, "It's everywhere, like a child."

For some reason, why did Xiao Bailing feel that what she said was a little pampering?

Although he inexplicably felt that this stinky woman was coveting him, it didn't seem to be very annoying.

Xiao Chengying withdrew her hand and pushed the remaining two peach blossom crisps on the table in front of him, "Eat it, and tell me if you get hungry in the future. If you don't tell me, how will I know?"

Xiao Bailing let out a long 'oh', glanced at her, and thought: This stinky woman is pretty good.

But when she kicked up... Xiao Bailing thought of the kicks she kicked last night, and felt a pain in her calf, and suddenly her good idea popped up in her mind, and it all dissipated.

In the afternoon, Xiao Xi and Xiao Dong had already brought back all the captured living corpses. In addition, they searched Jiangbei City again, but found nothing except three more living corpses.

The two brothers reported the matter to Xiao Chengying, and Xiao Chengying went to check it out himself.

The six newly added living corpses include old people, women, strong men, and children, all of which are different.

Xiao Chengying secretly wondered, are these goals just random?

Xiao Xi said: "Master, these people seem to have nothing to do with each other, and..."

He was silent for a moment, Xiao Dong bumped his arm, "What are you talking about, just say it!"

Xiao Xi squinted at him, and said helplessly: "I don't know if it was accidental, but these people were found in the east, south, north, southeast, southwest, and northwest of the city, plus the woman from last night. , living in the west of the city, the living corpses found in Jiangfu this morning are located in the center of the city. These people are scattered in various places in the city, seemingly unconnected, but this in itself may be some kind of connection."

This makes a lot of sense.

Xiao Chengying pondered for a moment, and said, "Who are these people?"

Xiao Xi shook his head, "The three people brought back from the search are an old man alone, a beggar, and a widow. The rest of the arrested people have not yet been checked."

"They are all people, even if they are dead, it is difficult for people to notice." Xiao Bailing suddenly said this sentence from behind the three of them.

Brothers Xiao Chengying, Xiao Dong and Xiao Xi turned their heads to look at him one after another.

Being stared at by three people, Xiao Bailing immediately lowered her eyes uncomfortably.

Xiao Dong clasped his hands together, and looked Xiao Bailing up and down, "I've been wanting to ask since just now, where did this young master come from?"

That's right, Xiao Dong and Xiao Xi haven't seen Xiao Bailing's face yet.

Xiao Chengying coughed lightly, "Xiao Bailing, he has recovered from his injury."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Dong's jaw almost fell to the ground. This young man who looks like a fairy is actually the same person as that little rogue covered in white silk?

Xiao Dong rubbed his eyes in disbelief, opened it again to confirm that he was not mistaken, he couldn't help but stepped forward, pinched Xiao Bailing's cheek to confirm that it was not a human skin mask either.

"You kid, do you look like this?" Xiao Dong exclaimed.

It's all over, this little rascal's face, even a man thinks it looks good, his master must like it.

But he still bullied him yesterday, if he really becomes his teacher's wife in the future, what's the deal?
Xiao Dong was a little dizzy, grabbed Xiao Xi's sleeves with both hands, and muttered softly: "Junior brother, I'm finished."

Xiao Xi smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, senior brother, I will buy you a coffin in advance."

"..." Xiao Dong gritted his teeth, sure enough he couldn't rely on anyone, he grinned a smile uglier than crying, "Thank you."

"As it should be."

"You..." Xiao Dong jumped angrily.

Xiao Chengying frowned, and said: "Stop making trouble, get back to business, what Bai Ling said makes sense, these people are people that few people can notice. The people behind them may be raising them."

Xiao Xi said: "But what's the use of these living corpses, why should they be raised?"

Xiao Chengying shook her head, "I don't know, let's just take a step at the moment. This matter is no small matter. I notified the senior brother of the sect leader yesterday, and the Celestial Clan will take over this matter in the near future. You two just need to keep an eye on it. Search through the city, be sure to bring back the living corpses and wait for disposal."

Xiao Dong and Xiao Xi clasped their fists together, "Yes, Master."

After the two left, Xiao Bailing came up to the front, glanced at the living corpse, and then covered her nose in distaste.

Xiao Chengying's expression darkened, "Aren't you afraid?"

Xiao Bailing was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized something, touched her nose and said: "Isn't it because the talisman paper is pasted, and I can't move it, what am I afraid of, besides, it's because of you, you will protect me, right?"

Xiao Chengying spread her hands, "Why should I protect you?"

Xiao Bailing stomped her feet, "Why are you so cold-blooded, woman? As the saying goes, a husband and wife once a day is a hundred days of kindness. Although we are not husband and wife, you have slept with me for two nights. Of course you have to protect me."

His words made Xiao Chengying twitch the corners of his mouth.

This man really dared to say anything nonsense.

Xiao Chengying snorted coldly, and said, "Since you said that, I'm going to confirm my reputation tonight."

The boy immediately hugged himself with both hands, "You... a stinky rascal!"

Xiao Chengying pulled him aside by the back of his collar, "You'd better keep your mouth shut, or I'll kill you now!"

Xiao Bailing quickly shut her mouth tightly, not daring to speak anymore.

Xiao Chengying inspected the corpse of a female living corpse, and there was no scar on her body.

The mage who was struck by lightning earlier had burn marks on his body, but none of these living corpses seemed to have any scars.

If there were no scars, how did they become living corpses?

Also, although these people were unknown during their lifetime, if a stranger approached them, how could they not resist at all?
Could it be that... the murderer was committed at night?

Then... what did he use to commit the murder?
Xiao Chengying remembered the fight with the man in black that night. The man used a whip, but the scars left by the whip would become more obvious after death. How could it... leave no trace at all?
