In the blood-stained Senran Hotel, numerous police officers with guns were moving and cleaning up the bodies.
After Zhou Fan showed his ID card as a member of the Spiritual Master Alliance, he was allowed to enter the hotel.
When he arrived on the fifth floor, he found that many rooms were almost in ruins.
There were corpses covered with white cloth lying in the blood-stained guest room. When he came outside room 414, he found Yang Xue and others inside.
The house was also in a mess, with many broken limbs scattered everywhere.
More than a dozen mutilated corpses were lying on stretchers and were covered with white cloths and carried out.
Yang Xue, wearing high heels with a cold expression, looked condescendingly at the male waiter who had received him.
"Captain Yang, please spare your life!"
"I was all coerced..."
The male waiter kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy, knowing that whether he could escape the crime or not depended on Yang Xue's words.
"Son of a bitch!"
At this time, Zhou Fan suddenly rushed into the room and beat the male waiter violently.
"Tell me! Where is Pang Pang?"
"No, I don't know! I was forced too!"
The male waiter was also a little confused. He didn't expect Zhou Fan to be alive, so he didn't dare to fight back even after being beaten.
"Then you should be beaten!"
Zhou Fan saw that the male waiter had no idea what he was asking, so he beat him up and then pulled him up and told him to get out.
"Don't leave!"
However, Yang Xue had no intention of letting the male waiter go, so she reached out to capture him and wanted to keep him.
"Xiao Xue!"
Zhou Fan immediately grabbed Yang Xue's hand, and the disgusting name made Yang Xue's cheeks twitch slightly.
The male waiter took the opportunity to grease the soles of his feet and run away. The furious Yang Xue threw Zhou Fan over his shoulder and threw him on the bed.
"boom!"
There was a muffled bang, and Zhou Fan felt as if he had cracked the bed board.
"Ahem! It's so hot in here!"
"Let's go outside and cool off..."
The guest room was instantly deserted, and everyone took the opportunity to run away for fear of being in trouble.
"If you dare to be arrogant in the future, be careful I will kick your roots off!"
Yang Xue's cold gaze fell on Zhou Fan's pants, and he was so frightened that he quickly covered it with his hands for fear that the other party would really kick him and cut off his legs.
"Hmph! Little earthworm!"
Yang Xue snorted and left. Zhou Fan was so angry that he almost took out his giant python to prove his innocence.
...
After leaving the Senran Hotel, Zhou Fan fell into deep thought. The disappearance of Pang Pang was so strange. No one could be seen alive or dead, but no body.
According to the news that Lin Changyuan told him before, Pang Pang's soul card was not broken, which proved that he should still be alive.
He has basically figured out the reason. The group of spiritual masters hiding in room 414 are all casual cultivators.
Those people gathered together and caught Pang Pang as bait, just to seize his forbidden weapon.
Of course, there are also some licking dogs who are jealous of his scandal with Yang Xue and want to take the opportunity to kill him.
How those people knew that he and Pang Pang had agreed to meet at the Senran Hotel was still unknown to Zhou Fan.
Pang Pang, who was originally captured alive and locked up in a closet, suddenly mysteriously disappeared without any news.
Zhou Fan had two bold guesses: First, could Pang Pang, who had the ability to penetrate objects, escape secretly?
Secondly, someone secretly kidnapped him and hid him secretly.
If this was the first guess, why didn't Pang Pang, who escaped, show up?
Even if he only needs to send a distress message, Lin Changyuan will definitely send someone to escort him back to the alliance safely.
But until now, there is still no news about Pang Pang.
This is very suspicious!
As for the second hypothesis, if Pang Pang could be kidnapped in full view of the public and hidden without anyone noticing, the murderer could only be someone inside the hotel.
Almost everyone in the hotel died, except for the male waiter who received Zhou Fan and the woman at the front desk.
Is this too lucky?
"sand!"
"rustle......"
Just when Zhou Fan was deep in thought, he suddenly heard subtle footsteps behind him while walking in the dark street.
This surprised him when he went to his grandmother's house alone, and then he smelled the familiar fragrance again.
"Hey! Captain!"
"You mean the deputy captain of the Blood Slaughter is performing a mission nearby?"
"Okay! I will pay attention to safety. If there is any situation, I will call the deputy captain for help immediately..."
Without any hesitation, Zhou Fan picked up his cell phone and made a call, and soon started negotiating with the person on the other end of the phone.
As his figure gradually moved away, in a dark corner more than ten meters away from him, a ghostly figure hiding in the darkness quietly retreated into the darkness and disappeared.
After Zhou Fan walked out of the dark street while holding up his mobile phone to make a call, he didn't smell the familiar fragrance again.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that the title of Vice Captain of Blood Slaughter really worked.
Not daring to waste time, he hurriedly walked into another street. He walked quickly along the street lights, and after going around in circles a few times to make sure no one was following him, he arrived outside the old villa area.
With embroidered shoes, crossing the towering wall is no longer a trivial matter for Zhou Fan.
This time I came to my grandma's house because it is relatively close and I planned to rest here one night so I can go to school tomorrow.
Secondly, he remembered that his cousin seemed to have a small bookstore. He had gone to see his cousin several times before, and his grandmother always said that she was in the small bookstore.
It's just that Zhou Fan didn't find anyone, but his cousin appeared inexplicably not long after.
When he was a child, he didn't think much about it, thinking that his cousin was hiding to play with him on purpose.
Now it suddenly occurred to me that Zhou Fan felt that that small bookstore might really exist.
He was distracted and had already arrived outside the old villa where his grandmother lived.
"Grandma! Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Zhou Fan, who was still thinking about how to enter the villa, unexpectedly found his grandmother in the yard.
She was lying on the rocking chair, as if admiring the moon.
"Come!"
Grandma heard my voice and waved her hand to me.
Seeing that the courtyard door was unlocked, I opened it and walked over to her.
"Can you see the difference?"
Grandma pointed to the moon hanging in the sky and asked me!
I was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the moon with some disapproval.
The bright moon in the sky is now in the form of a full moon, also called a full moon.
There's nothing different about it, the only difference is that it seems a little red.
"Little girl! Are you coming to live at my house again?"
"That's fine! My old lady is alone, and you just come to accompany me..."
Grandma's nagging voice sounded again, and Zhou Fan was speechless for a while. It seemed that the old man still didn't recognize that he was her grandson.
"Grandma! Do you know where my cousin's little bookstore is?"
It was freezing late at night, so Zhou Fan quickly helped his grandmother into the house and asked casually.
"Little bookstore? What is that place?"
"I can't remember, old lady, that girl Ye Lin likes to sleep on the third floor."
"Little girl, let me ask you, does that girl Ye Lin have a boyfriend? She has been staying up all night recently..."
In response to Zhou Fan's inquiry, grandma just shook her head in confusion, and then she grabbed Zhou Fan's hand and asked about Ye Lin's news.
"Grandma! Don't think too much!"
"My cousin is under a lot of pressure from studying recently, so she lives in school."
Zhou Fan responded casually, knowing that grandma had a bad memory and might forget it tomorrow if she remembered it at night.
After he sent his grandmother back to her room, he went to the third floor alone.
After searching through boxes and cabinets, he finally found a secret door in the stone wall on the roof of the attic on the third floor.
The color of the door was exactly the same as that of the attic wooden planks, and it looked extremely heavy and looked like a wall.
If you don't push hard, it will be difficult to push it.
Inside the door is an exquisite small study room with many books placed in it.
In the central corner of the study room, there is a mural of a woman taking flight.
The beautiful woman lifts up her skirt and flies towards the bloody full moon in the painting like the moon-flying fairy Chang'e.
"Why is it her?"
After seeing the appearance of the woman in the painting clearly, Zhou Fan couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
The appearance of this woman was exactly the same as the female statue he saw in the deserted village.
Why are her paintings hung in the small study room by her cousin?
Look at the incense burner placed on the sandalwood table under the painting, it should be hung here for worship.
"What's this?"
Soon Zhou Fan noticed that there was a small brocade box on the sandalwood table.
Curious, he opened the small brocade box and found a skull seal inside.
The skull seal looks a bit scary. The weird skull has nine heads surrounding it.
Its hollow and deep pupils seem to be able to swallow up all light, and there seems to be some mysterious aura flowing around it.
"Isn't this the seal that Vice Captain Xuetu gave to Captain Lin before?"
Zhou Fan looked at the skull seal in surprise and remembered that Lin Changyuan had a seal like this in his hand before.
But the skull seal in his hand seems to have only two skull heads.
"Could it be that there are multiple seals?"
Zhou Fan couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and at this moment, he felt that the skull seal in his hand seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.
Before he could react, the skull seal was filled with blood and directly integrated into the back of his hand.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a nine-headed skull seal pattern was imprinted on the back of his hand.
Zhou Fan couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded by the sudden change.
He tried rubbing the pattern off but found that it was in vain. The skull seal seemed to be completely imprinted on the back of his hand.
"What the hell is this?"
Zhou Fan felt vaguely uneasy in his heart, always feeling like he was going to be tricked by his cousin again this time.
He was so angry that he almost yelled, feeling that his cousin's repeated actions were a bit too much.
Zhou Fan picked up his cell phone and planned to make a call to inquire about Lin Yuan. He checked the time and finally decided to wait until tomorrow to inquire about the skull seal.
Not feeling sleepy, he began to browse around on the bookshelves.
Soon, an introductory manual for spiritual masters caught his attention.
What he lacks most now is books on spiritual masters.
The Spiritual Forbidden Master contracts a forbidden weapon, uses the forbidden weapon to purify the evil energy in the eternal forbidden area, and converts it into forbidden energy to assist in cultivation.
Forbidden weapons are divided into mortal level, spiritual level (possessing spirituality), treasure level (containing treasure skills), and artifacts (possessing unknown powers, abilities, and attributes).
The higher the level of the forbidden weapon, the stronger the power, and the faster it can transform evil energy.
Directly refining Weirdness or swallowing other forbidden weapons can also obtain the original forbidden energy.
There are various kinds of forbidden weapons, each with its own magical function, and all have their own corresponding attributes.
