I resisted the feeling of dizziness and soreness all over and wanted to reach out to turn the door handle again. Zheng Meiqin, who was bending over and retching next to me, had already sat softly on the ground.
"Hu Ling, my head feels so dizzy." Zheng Meiqin snorted and subconsciously leaned against my calf.
My condition at the moment was not much better than hers. I couldn't stand her support and fell to the ground.
"What did you do to us?" I raised my head and glared at Miao Lei.
Since he had already taken action, there was no need to cover it up. I tried to speak as loudly as I could, hoping that Chen Du, who was guarding the door, would hear my voice and quickly inform Dongzi.
"Why are you shouting so loudly?"
At some point, Miao Lei held a glass of scarlet liquid in his hand. He shook his head slightly and drank it in one gulp, with a mocking smile on his face.
"Don't think that the ghost outside can hear you if you shout so loudly. I have a restraining talisman under Taoist Lingsha here. Even the ghost can't hear you if you shout so loudly!"
As he spoke, he took a few steps closer, squatted down about a meter away from me, and looked at me with a sinister smile: "Even if it can hear it, it can't get in!"
Zheng Meiqin leaned against me, her face turned pale. She looked at Miao Lei and begged: "Miao Lei, what do you want to do? Hu Ling is my best classmate. I can promise you anything you want. Can you let me go first?"
Classmate leaving?"
"Classmate?" Miao Lei raised his head and laughed, as if he had heard a very funny joke.
"Don't think I don't know. This woman is the psychic you invited. I saw you go in with my own eyes. What is that? Origin of the Soul Spirit Pavilion, right?"
As he spoke, Miao Lei turned his face to me and said in a dark voice: "A small and unscrupulous psychic actually wanted to harm me and even released Chen Du's soul. Since you like to meddle so much, then let me
You can replace that boy Chen Du and become my wife’s food!"
"Miao Lei, you can't hurt Hu Ling. If you really want to refine the soul refining bead to resurrect Tan Nianqin, just use my body and soul!" Zheng Meiqin struggled to crawl in front of me.
"You even know about the Soul Refining Bead!" Miao Lei was startled and looked at me sinisterly, "It seems I have underestimated your ability!"
As he spoke, he stood up, reached out and groped for the side of the shoe cabinet and pressed it.
With a soft "click" sound, Zheng Meiqin and I's bodies suddenly lost weight and sank violently. Then our eyes went dark, and I didn't know anything anymore.
When I woke up again, I found that my hands and feet were still sore and weak, and they were tied tightly with ropes.
Feeling a little cold, I realized that the thin down jacket I was wearing had been taken off, and I was only wearing a turtleneck sweater.
It was dark all around, with no lights, and Zheng Meiqin was tied up like a rice dumpling, with her head resting on my feet.
Although my body was sore and weak, the heat in my body was still flowing smoothly, and my eyes could still see in the dark. It seemed that Miao Lei gave us drugs to paralyze the body muscles.
This is a surprising discovery for me. As long as you slowly move the heat energy along the meridians, the toxins of the medicine can be forced out from the fingertips.
While I was taking my luck, I carefully recalled everything that happened after I entered the door, but I couldn't figure out when exactly I was tricked. From the beginning to the end, I had never had close contact with Miao Lei.
As long as he takes action, I won't be able to detect it.
After thinking for a long time, I couldn't come up with a reason. I simply didn't want to and looked up at the environment Zheng Meiqin and I were in.
This is a roughly renovated house. The layout is exactly the same as Miao Lei's rented house. There is no furniture in the living room.
Against the wall are two rows of seven large brown-yellow coarse porcelain water tanks.
I am very familiar with that kind of tank. When I was a child in Liuqiao Village, every household used this kind of large water tank to store water. But what is it used for here? You will know what Miao Lei has done.
It shouldn't be too far from Miao Lei's rental house. What's strange is why he moved us here and Dongzi hasn't shown up yet.
Could it be that something happened to Chen Du, so he didn't inform Dongzi?
While thinking wildly, Zheng Meiqin at her feet snorted softly.
I touched her arm with my foot and called her name softly: "Meiqin? Zheng Meiqin!"
Zheng Meiqin moved a little weakly, and then said: "Hu Ling? Where are we? Why is it so dark?"
"I don't know where this is, but don't worry, we should be fine!" I comforted her.
"Hu Ling, it's all my fault. It's me who got you involved!" Zheng Meiqin said, "I don't have any strength at all, and I was tied up."
I opened my mouth and was about to speak when Zheng Meiqin continued speaking on her own.
"I think we will definitely die. Miao Lei has killed so many people. If we know his secret, he will not let us go. Hu Ling, I'm sorry..."
As he spoke, he started crying "woo woo woo".
I was a little helpless, Zheng Meiqin was crying sadly, and I didn't know how to comfort her.
This is Miao Lei's territory, and there are many things I can't say just to comfort her.
The medicine on my body has been slowly forced out by the hot air, and I am no longer weak all over, but I am still lying on the ground, and I have not moved my position to avoid being discovered by Miao Lei and doing something else.
When Zheng Meiqin saw that I was silent, she thought that I was also frightened and started crying louder.
At this moment, I heard a soft "click" sound again, and a bright light suddenly lit up on the top of the living room.
I raised my eyes and looked towards the line of light, and saw that the light was getting bigger and bigger, and a square hole appeared in the line of light.
Outside the cave entrance is the living room of Miao Lei's house.
The light shone into the living room, and in the dim light, the living room with several large water tanks looked even more spooky.
Zheng Meiqin stopped crying and struggled to move towards me.
Only then did I realize that this was the seventeenth floor.
Miao Lei should have rented the seventeenth and eighteenth floors of the house, and this floor should be where he murdered people.
I was secretly happy that Dongzi should be in the corridor on the seventeenth floor. With his current level of cultivation, he could hear the sounds in the room just across the door.
While he was thinking about it, an iron step slowly hung down from the square hole. A slender figure stood on the step and slowly sank down along the step.
It's Miao Lei.
I stared at him, and he stared at me fiercely.
As soon as Zheng Meiqin saw him, she started to tremble all over.
"I didn't expect that the little girl is quite courageous. No wonder she became a psychic. Don't you know about soul refining beads? Then I will let you taste for yourself what it feels like to be refined into soul refining beads!"
Miao Lei walked down the iron steps, walked towards Zheng Meiqin and me, and spoke gloomily. This chapter has been completed!
