When they left the Jin family, Liu Xiangquan, who had been so attentive and thoughtful at the banquet and promised to guide them, was nowhere to be seen.

"I just saw him. I don't know who beat him so badly that his nose and face were swollen. Seeing me from a distance was like seeing a ghost. He ran away quickly and disappeared. It really shocked me." Lin Yin said.

However, Cen Qianshan and Cen happened to be standing outside the door and wanted to go to Sun Dejun's residence to find out what was going on. Ding Lanlan and the others hurriedly and shamelessly followed.

"We are so lucky," Ding Lanlan whispered to Mu Xue, "we happen to run into him every time."

Mu Xue: "Ah, yes. What a coincidence."

"Master Cen has a really good temper. Although he doesn't like to talk, you can see that he flies so slowly just to wait for us juniors."

Mu Xue: "Junior, well, maybe."

After several people fled far away, the head of the Jin family summoned his cronies.

"Have you found out? Where did those three girls come from? They were able to ask the Cens to personally wait outside the door to escort them."

"My subordinates have made inquiries around, but there are no clues at all. But it is really strange. We found that Ruan people, who have been bad-tempered these years, are very kind to them. I heard that Nian Zaitao Nian Ye specially told the story of his neighborhood.

People, they said they wouldn’t let these girls be touched.”

"Okay, let's go ahead and explain that we should be polite to these girls until we find out their origins."

Mu Xue didn't know that they left such a small disturbance after they left.

Sun Dejun's residence is located in a very remote location, with a single courtyard and a towering wall. There are dense defensive weapons on top of the wall. The building in the courtyard, with thick walls and iron windows, is like a closed castle.

It's just that the door of the house is wide open at this moment, and the things in the house are turned over in a mess. It has obviously been turned over several times by countless waves of people.

Mu Xue and others took the flying magic weapon and landed in a courtyard overgrown with grass. They followed the open door and walked into this lifeless big house.

It was clearly afternoon, but the building was very dark and dark. In every corner of the room, puppet accessories and half-made humanoid puppets were discarded.

The windows were small and narrow, with thick iron bars across them. The pale sunlight cut off by the bars hit the sluggish heads, torsos and mechanical arms, making them look even more weird and terrifying.

"So I don't like to be a human-shaped puppet. The more human-like something is, the more terrifying it feels." Lin Yin walked carefully among the spare parts to avoid suddenly stepping on an arm or thigh.

"If you want to fight, you can make it into anything you want, be it a dragon, a unicorn, etc. Why do you have to make it look like a human being? Oops, it's eyeballs, it scares me to death."

Ding Lanlan and Mu Xue, who were both weapon refiners, did not have the same worries as her. They stood in front of a half-finished product and discussed with the puppet, which had only half a torso and dull eyes.

"It seems like this Sun Dejun does have a fanatical obsession with making puppets." Mu Xue touched her chin and bent down to carefully look at the opened head of the puppet. "It can be seen that every puppet he makes is...

It took a lot of thought and energy. But the level is not up to par yet.”

Ding Lanlan: "I think it's a little strange?"

"Hmm? Where is it?"

"Although there are some very powerful things, it seems that a lot of mistakes have been made." Ding Lanlan pointed to the puppet's opened chest, "For example, here, and there. Even the basic sensing array is wrong."

Mu Xue smiled and said: "This is the world of demon spirits. Any skills are only passed down to the descendants of the family and are not passed down secretly. Even some advanced skills and techniques are only passed down to direct descendants. There is no unified teaching by the academy and teachers. Many people want to learn something.

I have to figure out all the techniques by myself. So in your opinion, it is normal for someone to make a mistake in the most basic common sense."

"So that's it. So they use the family as the inheritance. Although they are more cohesive, they also have many shortcomings." Ding Lanlan suddenly realized, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "Strange, Xiaoxue. How come you are so familiar with the demon world?

It’s like I was born here. It’s really the benefit of reading more books.”

At this time, Cen Qianshan had already opened the door to the basement and walked down to the place where the puppet murderer took place.

An unpleasant stench came from the depths of the dark staircase.

Mu Xue stood at the door and suddenly remembered a black door with infinitely extending stairs and a bleeding altar in front of it, making people instinctively reluctant to walk down.

Lin Yin: "I...I'm a little scared." Lin Yin said.

Ding Lanlan: "Me, me too."

A warm yellow light lit up at the bottom of the stairs, and Cen Qianshan's voice came up from below, "Just wait above, I'll come up after taking a look."

The three girls exchanged glances with each other. Lin Yin, who loves cleanliness the most, took a deep breath and walked down first.

Girls are naturally less courageous, and girls are even more afraid to face battles.

Junior sisters, please don't get on the ring. Junior sisters should run away first.

When you naturally put yourself in a weak position in some aspects and rely on the help of others, you are equivalent to thinking that you are weak and inferior to others. For practitioners, this is an inner demon that must be overcome.

Regardless of gender.

Arriving directly at the scene, the feeling was still very different from what I saw on the Bright Light Mirage Platform.

In the small and dark space covered with black bloodstains, there is a row of small glazed windows at the highest point of the wall. The windows are spattered with black bloodstains, and a little bit of dim light shines through, hitting the people on the opposite side.

On the corner.

Countless pale puppets with similar looks were hung on the four walls. They lowered their heads dully and neatly, looking at the thick blood on the ground, as if approving the murder that had happened here.

Lin Yin felt her stomach churn and feel nauseated. She really didn't want to stay here any longer.

Xiaoxue walked over from behind her, holding the lamp in her hand, and squatted down to look at the blood stains in the corner. She seemed not to be affected by such an environment at all.

Ever since she was a child, Lin Yin had inexplicably disliked Zhang Xiaoxue. At this moment, she suddenly understood the reason.

What she envied was that this child was braver and more frank than herself. She seemed to always be able to face those things that she was afraid of and wanted to avoid in her heart with the most frank manner.

Whether it's in school, in the arena, on the battlefield, or in places like this.

Nonsense, Lin Yin thought in her heart. Xiaoxue is several years younger than me. How could I lose to a little girl like her?

She stood up straight, tried hard not to look at the things on the walls and ground that had not been cleaned, and walked side by side with her friends.

"Look here, there seems to be a line of writing." Mu Xue pointed to the corner of the wall that was contaminated by blood.

"I regret it...but it's no use anymore." Cen Qianshan held the lamp, squatted down and read out the words in the corner,

"Who can escape such temptation... No one..."

"I gave everything to him, but what I got was not what I wanted... No."

Behind these intermittent words, a door was randomly drawn, a black door, with long steps under the door, and an altar marked with a big cross.

Mu Xue looked back at Cen Qianshan.

They thought of a person and a door. A door that appeared in each other's dreams after their happiest moment last night.

At this moment, Mu Xue suddenly saw a pair of eyes appearing behind the narrow glass window.

Those eyes hidden behind the blood stained her eyes and quickly left after looking at them.

"There's someone, chase him quickly." Without saying a word, Mu Xue took out Ying Tianyun and chased him out first.

The shapeless black figure ran very fast, quickly leaving the courtyard and rushing into a lively neighborhood.

It disappeared into a narrow and shabby courtyard.

When Mu Xue and his party arrived, there was another group of people in the courtyard.

The leading man was sitting in the middle of the courtyard. When he heard the sound of the flying magic weapon landing, he turned around impatiently and asked, "Who is coming again? Everything has a first-come, first-served basis... Come, come... Pour the tea, who's here?"

, hurry up and bring everyone a cup of tea."

As he spoke, he stood up quickly, wiped the chair under his butt with his sleeve, respectfully asked Cen Qianshan to take a seat, and looked at Cen Qianshan's face carefully and nervously.

"What place is this?" Cen Qianshan asked.

"Master Cen, don't you know? This is the old house of Sun Dejun who is making a fuss now," the man replied.

Cen Qianshan looked around and could no longer find the figure he was looking for.

So he stopped talking and turned around to wait for Mu Xue and others to land.

The man kicked the younger brother who was following him and said, "What are you doing standing still? There are three aunts here. Go and move the chairs quickly. You don't have any sharp eyesight."

As soon as Ding Lanlan and others landed, they were surprised to show off their power and received compliments from a group of people. Look at the big men with big bodies on their arms, standing in a row cautiously, serving tea and water, and calling them aunts.

.Lin Yin found it very funny,

"Why are they so afraid? Mr. Cen is obviously a very easy-to-talk person." She asked Mu Xue in a low voice.

"Perhaps, because they are from the Lei family." Mu Xue said softly.

I don’t know why, even seeing someone I didn’t like very much in the past will evoke an unpredictable feeling of nostalgia.

The man in front of her happened to be acquainted by Mu Xue. His surname was Lei and his first name was Liang.

He was once the famous second-in-command of the Lei family in Futon City. He was famous for his long-sleeved dancing skills and smooth sophistication. Everyone called him Brother Liang. It was from him that he bought Xiao Shan as a slave.

More than a hundred years have passed, and his appearance has not changed much. It is obvious that his cultivation has improved and he has not yet reached the decline stage of his life. He just saw the hill, and for some reason, he was as scared as the mouse when he saw the cat.

"The Lei family is also interested in this matter?" Cen Qianshan asked.

Hearing Cen Qianshan finally speak, Lei Liang's tense heart was inexplicably relieved, and he quickly answered: "At the beginning, everyone didn't pay much attention to this matter. Later, more people died, and it gradually aroused various concerns.

The attention of the big family.”

"Even our Lei family has an incompetent descendant who died at the hands of a bought puppet. That's why I brought people over to take a look."

"Tell me, how did that person in your family die at the hands of a puppet?" A girl in a red dress behind Cen Qianshan suddenly asked him.

She was a very young woman, sixteen or seventeen years old. She was extremely clean and beautiful, and she did not look like a child from Futon City at all. Her background was unknown.

"Hate, if I say such dirty things, I'm afraid of scaring my sister-in-law." Lei Liang laughed.

Today, the power of the Lei family is not as strong as it used to be. It no longer dominates almost all the trading markets in Fuzhou City as it did a hundred years ago. Lei Liang is also much more cautious in his conduct.

"I want to know the cause of his death, the method used to kill him, and the specific model of the puppet."

The seemingly innocent little girl asked simple and sharp questions that went straight to the core of the problem.

Lei Liang put away his joking attitude and said, "I feel a little ashamed to say that our incompetent disciple had some unknown habits that he didn't dare to implement on real people. So he secretly bought some simulation puppets, and he could do whatever he wanted on the puppets.

Tossing. Who knew he would die in the hands of a puppet."

Mu Xue frowned.
