Kyushu · Endless Nagato

Chapter 21
"It seems that you are fully prepared," said the shrill voice, "I have found four of your old friends, each of whom refused to confess to death at the end, and you will be the first Five?"

"It's hard to say, but I hope I can hold on." Xing Wanteng could still laugh easily.

"In this case, let you get what you want," the man with a high-pitched voice snapped his fingers crisply, "There is no need to move, I think your small courtyard is very good, the air is much fresher than in the prison, just Here it is."

Xue Huaiqing felt a little relieved.Listening to the tone, the person in charge with a high-pitched voice will not kill Xing Wanteng immediately, but intends to keep his life for torture.This kind of torture will last for a few days, and I still have a chance to rescue Xing Wanteng.

She began to think about the next plan in her mind.Although he lost the powerful poison source of his master, he was still proficient in the preparation of poisons. It only took two days to prepare a drug with good effect.In addition, when she entered the city, she noticed that there are also rivers in Jiuyuan City, so she can threaten several rivers with poison to dig tunnels, and go deep into the inner courtyard without anyone noticing...

Xue Huaiqing was concentrating on it until she heard Xing Wanteng's voice suddenly raised: "After me, you will search for all my brothers from back then one by one, and you won't miss any of them, right?"

"Not one of them will be spared," the other party replied coldly, "Even if they are dead, I will dig out the bodies and confirm that he is dead before I stop."

"In this case, it's better to let everything end with me." Xing Wanteng sighed.

"So, are you willing to tell the truth?" The other party was a little excited, and his voice became sharper and harsher.

wrong!Xue Huaiqing thought, listening to his tone of voice, it didn't seem like he was about to confess.On the contrary, she heard some kind of determination from this sentence, that is to say...

Her heart was shocked, and she issued an order as quickly as possible, and the corpse servant beside her immediately concentrated all her strength, and slammed towards the wall with her huge body.After a bang, a big hole was knocked out of the wall, and the corpse servant rushed in, followed by Xue Huaiqing.

"Don't die!" she yelled.It's a pity that it was too late for this cry, and before her eyes was an extremely terrifying scene.

Just as Xue Huaiqing yelled that sound, the horrified people just picked up the weapons in their hands and were about to charge towards her and the corpse servant.Xing Wanteng's head exploded.Like a berry that burst because it was overripe, Xing Wanteng's head burst completely, but what flew out of it was neither blood nor brains, but worms, countless tiny blood-red worms.They are like swarms of wasps—but much smaller than wasps, even smaller than flies—and Xing Wanteng's body is like their hive.Red flying insects gushed out of the headless body continuously.

The first flying insect flew to the face of the high-pitched chief.At this moment, his back was facing Xue Huaiqing, and he couldn't see his face clearly, only his body was very fat.When Xing Wanteng was interrogated just now, he looked so arrogant and vicious, as if he had the power to control other people's lives.But when the bloody flying insect slammed into his face, he suddenly lost his previous poise, and fell backwards with an extremely embarrassing movement, but just avoided the flying insect just in time.What was even more vicious was that, taking advantage of the momentum of his fall, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a subordinate's calf, and pulled him forward to block himself.Judging from the falling action, although this fat man is the leader, he doesn't seem to know much about martial arts, but he is fat and strong after all, and the subordinate was caught off guard, he was pulled down by him, and immediately ran into the flying insects.

He suddenly let out a shrill scream, as if he had suffered great pain.But the rest of the flying insects were not polite, and flew on him one after another. In a blink of an eye, his whole body was covered by flying insects, and he saw a mass of blood-red humanoid objects squirming, constantly making heart-piercing sounds. The painful cry made people's hearts tense.

Several companions rushed to try to rescue him, but more people wisely chose to wait and see from afar.The first companion who rushed up took off his coat and slapped him vigorously, but he failed to drive away the bugs attached to the leader's body, and instead attracted other bugs to fly to him.Like the first victim, he was in agony as soon as he touched the flying insects, as if he was undergoing the cruelest torture in the world, completely losing control of his body.

At this moment, people were horrified to find that the poor scapegoat no longer made a sound, but his body was shrinking rapidly!The flying insects also left him one after another, gradually revealing his body—only a glistening white skeleton remained, with not even a trace of flesh and blood left on it.

Only then did the other warriors realize how powerful they were, and hurriedly turned around to flee, but it was too late.The blood-red strange insects flew up all over the sky and rushed towards the group of unfortunate victims.Anyone who gets a bug on their body will immediately lose their ability to move, and then be quickly eaten into a pile of bones.

Xue Huaiqing knew what it was.She had a flash of inspiration just now, and it was precisely when she remembered the origin of that strange smell.It was a voodoo technique performed by the witches in Da Lei Zeli, Yuezhou, using human life as the matrix to cultivate this blood-red carnivorous flying insect.The vitality of these flying insects is very short, and they will die within a few minutes. There is no need to worry about them spreading out to harm others, so they have become an excellent weapon for killing people in a small area.What is happening now is the best example. The people who came to arrest Xing Wanteng, except for one or two legs, escaped quickly - including the leading fat man, all of them were killed by poisonous insects.Although this fat man is not good at martial arts, he has a very ruthless temperament. After being crawled on his stomach by a poisonous insect, he decisively picked up a long knife, cut off the piece of meat from his stomach, and then covered himself Fleeing with bloody wounds.

Most likely, this Xing Wanteng had been to Da Lei Ze before, and got the poisonous Gu from the witches, Xue Huaiqing thought.Now that he is using his own body to cultivate Gu worms, it shows that he has made up his mind a long time ago to die with those who came to capture him.Xue Huaiqing couldn't help being a little curious about what he and his other accomplices did so rebelliously that they were hunted down after many years of seclusion, and there was almost no way out.Are the felony crimes they committed and the massacre of their adoptive father, wife and children two separate incidents, or are they related to each other, or even—the same thing at all?

She was thinking in a daze, she didn't even notice the poisonous insects flying in front of her eyes, but she didn't need to pay attention either.The corpse dancer is covered in poison, and this kind of Gu insects dare not approach her at all. As for the corpse servant, it is a lifeless corpse, so naturally it will not arouse the interest of the Gu insects.She just quickly thought that the screams in the yard might soon attract people from the government, and she would definitely cause trouble if she stayed at the scene.

So she hurried away with the corpse servant.Fortunately, those dying screams were so terrifying that none of the neighbors dared to open the door to watch the excitement, so no one saw her.She made it back to the inn without incident.

She hadn't slept all day and night, but what happened just now made her sleepless.Xing Wanteng died, and the clues to find other parties were also cut off. He seemed to have turned into a headless fly overnight, not knowing where to fly.

She tried to meditate, but her usual meditation was very smooth, but she couldn't enter the state tonight.Xue Huaiqing collapsed on the bed dejectedly, knowing very well in her heart that she had fallen into a state of uncontrollable disturbance.The worry that has been hidden in my heart jumped out bloody again: If the clues are broken and I have no way to pursue my adoptive father's old enemy, what should I do?Should I solve the mystery of my life experience?

However, I am very scared.I hope I can always have other things to think about, not to touch this original scar.Let the truth be buried in the ground forever, and let the peace of my heart never be broken.

Xue Huaiqing racked her brains and thought, and finally fell asleep exhausted.She slept very restlessly and kept having all kinds of bizarre dreams. In the last dream, she saw her master Jiang Qinyin.Master seemed to be alive again, still standing in front of me gracefully, but the expression on his face was full of sorrow.

"What should I do? What should I do?" The master kept muttering, "I will never be able to get Sumeru."

Xue Huaiqing didn't know what to say.She lived until she was 19 years old, and she had never tasted the feeling of loving or being loved. Naturally, she couldn't intervene in Master's affection.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Master was still muttering, but the words changed in the second half, "How can I defeat Sumeru?"

This is really a chaotic relationship, Xue Huaiqing thought, since she loves him so much, why must she defeat him before giving up?

"Because he won't accept a weak woman," the master in the dream easily read Xue Huaiqing's thoughts, "Xu Mizi is the strongest corpse dancer in the world, maybe even the strongest person, Even if I can't defeat him, I must make him feel the possibility of being defeated, otherwise, he probably won't even look me in the eye."

How mysterious and inexplicable love is, Xue Huaiqing came to this conclusion.

After waking up, Xue Huaiqing was still reminiscing about the previous dream, feeling the bitter helplessness of her master, but suddenly, the three words "Xumizi" broke into her mind again.

I was a fool!She wished she could slap herself.The clues have not been broken, and there is another person who may know, why don't I go to this person to ask?

"It turns out that you are a corpse dancer," she recalled Xu Fengzhang's last words, "When you meet Xing Wanteng and listen to him tell what happened back then, you will find that the whole thing is actually to blame onto the head of a corpse dancer."

"This is really a fateful arrangement, interesting, really interesting..."
