"Don't mess around here. If you break any of these devices, you won't be able to pay for it."
Mu Wan's veins popped up as she listened. She was just here to cause trouble if she said unpleasant things and didn't care whether you were good or bad? But Wu Yin not only didn't buy it, but his usual calmness only made her even more angry.
"Stop talking to me about these useless things. It was you who made the medicine that framed my Tengu? Give me the antidote, but be careful I won't be polite."
"Everyone can talk big words, but business..." Wu Yin turned around, placed the bamboo slips he found on the table, lowered his head, and glanced up from below, "Not everyone can do it."
"Don't do that. If you try to talk business with me again, I'll ruin everything."
"Really? Why? With you? With a knife that you can't even use?"
The series of rhetorical questions were really infuriating, but Mu Wan suppressed them again and again. Although her attitude of asking for help was not that serious, but since the initiator was the same person, she did not decide whether to give alms or not.
Necessary courtesy.
"Don't talk around in circles with me."
"I don't want to either. But the last time you came here, you didn't ask Satsuki-sama for the antidote."
Saying this, it proves to some extent that there is still an antidote.
"I still don't know if your antidote is real or fake."
"Shiying Pavilion always pays attention to integrity when doing things. If you can't trust me, just go out on your own."
"Make an offer."
After hearing this, Wu Yin raised his head slightly and folded the spread bamboo slips in half. Then, he turned around again and went to another medicine cabinet with bottles and jars to rummage around, taking his time. Mu Wan
He glanced at the closed bamboo slip and wondered what it contained. Wu Yin said while searching:
"Blood is an important tool for developing drugs or antidotes...according to different characteristics, targeted medicines can be formulated. The poison in your dog that day originally had a broad target, but it was guided by blood to strengthen it.
It eliminates the toxicity and at the same time makes it inactive to other people, monsters, animals and plants. The antidote is also very simple. Dilute the poisoned blood with part of the medicine, wait until the sample changes color, and then pour in all the antidote. Best, it can
Pour directly into the flesh and blood...but the antidote is not here."
After that, he took out a small dark blue bottle and poured the contents into the small bowl that Mu Wan had just touched. There was a sizzling sound in the bowl, and foam as fine as warm oil came up. Mu Wan was stunned.
I was so angry that I had nothing to say. But it was also true. How could Wu Yin put the antidote where people could see it, knowing that they would visit?
She suppressed her anger and asked: "I asked you to make a price, didn't you understand? It's really boring to talk about it without selling."
"No one said to sell it." Wu Yin capped the bottle, "I want you to change it."
"Just finish it all in one go, it won't be over forever, right?"
"Among the people with you, there is a female corpse that can move, right?"
"Impossible." Mu Wan immediately retorted, "I remember that you have coveted her for a long time, but I will not even give you a hair...to change the conditions."
"I didn't say I wanted that body." Wu Yin walked back to the cabinet and placed the bottle on the shelf in its original position, without any change from the original position. "The Master of Bones - the person who controlled her. I want his blood."
, bring it in exchange."
Mu Wan's mind went blank for a moment, and she was stunned and annoyed at the same time. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, it was like she had been holding back a fire and was splashed with dirty water the moment before it ignited. The fire did not come out.
Forget it, an act that was more worthy of accusation left her speechless.
This is unreasonable, very unreasonable.
Not only is it rude, it's simply ridiculous.
"I didn't expect that Boss Wu is such a joking person."
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
Mu Wan's left arm instantly exerted force and was about to overturn the gaudy stall beside her. However, before a shelf was pushed down, Wu Yin unexpectedly stretched out an arm and held her wrist tightly.
. She was stunned for a moment, because she clearly saw Wu Yin's two hands holding the bamboo slip. Then, she quickly realized that this was the third arm.
She finally understood the reason why Wu Yin's cuffs were designed to be so wide. If possible, he even had a fourth and fifth arm. The space here was small, not to mention that she was not familiar with the place, so she was interacting with the people of the Death Shadow Pavilion like this.
They never let their hands get wet. The bowl floating in the bucket was shaken by them and trembled. The content inside turned dark brown and was completely solidified, like a half-bowl of hard wax.
"No way."
I can't do it.
Probably sensing that her hand had relaxed, Wu Yin withdrew that too-slender but powerful hand. Her body was still stiff, immersed in the previous huge shock. Why do they want his blood? Surely.
It's not a good thing. Based on what happened with the Tengu, are they going to attack him? Maybe not... But there must be a deeper reason behind it. She can't see through it and doesn't dare to think about it. Either it's not good for Shi Wuqi, or
To the detriment of many others.
"It doesn't matter."
"I won't do anything to harm my friends."
"Oh, you're worried about that. Not really, it's just a sample for research."
"That would hurt more people."
"Wrong. This will bring benefits to more people."
Fuck you.
"Someone among you must be confronting him. If you want anything, just ask him for it. I can't do this." No matter which aspect, "In other words, your friend suddenly asked you to stretch out your arm and cut him with a knife."
Will you agree to take blood?"
"Yes."
Get lost.
Mu Wan felt that the two of them were not talking in the same world at all, and that they were talking about the earthly world. Rather, Wu Yin actually had no sincerity in talking at all. He didn't care whether these things were successful or not. This was not an urgent need.
Detoxification was not the threat he thought was a strong one. It was all in vain, and she could only hope that others would gain something.
"You can agree at any time, or you can not agree for the rest of your life. Time is not a problem. I have left a spell on you. When you get it, the antidote will be delivered soon."
"Then just wait."
Mu Wan left.
She did not ask where the exit was. After leaving this space, the corridor outside may have changed, or it may not have changed. Anyway, there was only one road, and she kept walking down it. Soon, there was a subtle sound of water in front of her, and the sound became louder and louder as she went forward.
Obviously. There were dots of light in the darkness. It was a curtain of water - or a small waterfall. You would probably get wet if you walked through it, right? But there was no other way to go, so she stretched out her hand to make sure that the other side was not a stone.
After that, he rushed out in one breath.
It was getting late, dark blue and dim yellow merged together. The warm light gradually receded, and the stars appeared. Mu Wan touched his head and clothes, and found that they were all dry, without any water on them.
As soon as she lowered her head, she found Mo Liang and Xi Yu standing back to back on the grass, as if waiting for them.
"Are you out already?" she asked the two of them, "Where are the others? Ah, you have been waiting for a long time, Xi Yu is already sleepy."
As soon as Mo Liang stood up, Xi Yu, who had closed his eyes against him, suddenly fell to the ground and woke up suddenly. This guy can really sleep anywhere.
"She was cynical just now. We just came out, and others..."
Halfway through his words, another figure appeared at the small waterfall. Shanhai jumped out and touched his body like Mu Wan. Of course, there were no water stains, which he felt strange.
"You are here..."
"I just came out too." Mu Wan said, "Mo Liang said they had been waiting for a while."
"Where's Aluan?"
"I didn't see it, probably he hasn't come out yet."
"What is that in your hand?"
Mo Liang and the others didn't pay attention at first. When Shan Hai mentioned this, they all looked at Mu Wan's hand. She didn't know when there was a straw bracelet on her left wrist. It looked ordinary and featureless. Mu Wan was stunned and said she was afraid.
It was something Wu Yin left behind when he captured her, to "contact" them. She was at a loss for words, so she told the truth:
"Given it to Wu Yin from Death Shadow Pavilion."
"Are you seeing Shopkeeper Wu?" Shan Hai took out a ring from his arms, "This is what Xie Yan returned to me. She asked me about the craftsmanship of the Resurrection Pill. When I know, I will come to the Death Shadow Pavilion again.
.”
"It seems they trust you very much." Xi Yu coaxed, "They actually delivered the goods first."
Mu Wan didn't know whether she should talk about her own affairs. But before she could speak, Dai Luan appeared. Seeing them, Dai Luan just nodded without any further reaction. This made them feel very abnormal.
"Aluan, how are you?" They gathered around with concern.
Ah Luan suddenly grabbed Shan Hai's sleeves and his tone was not calm.
"Shan Hai, how much do you know about my family? Zhu Tong told me that they asked me to come out with you to avoid the limelight because someone in the house has been trying to frame us. When Shui Wujun came to our house, he had no mission - and
He was the one who volunteered to help us get rid of the mole. But he didn’t get rid of the mole because he didn’t have enough evidence.
Clean, now the remnant party is about to close the net... I must go back quickly. You know all this, right? My parents asked you to take me away just because they were suspicious, right? They planned to take me away only after an accident happened.
Going back, right? In fact, I might not even see them for the last time, right?"
Aluan, who had always been tolerant, showed her uncompromising principle on this matter, and her tone was a bit aggressive. Shanhai expected that one day she would ask this, and he was not prepared to keep it as a secret.
But for teenage girls, this truth is too hurtful.
Shanhai realized that the road ahead had unknowingly deviated a bit towards Dailuan City. Whether it was him who would return to Linxiao Temple sooner or later, or Dailuan who was eager to see his parents, there was an extra layer of guidance. Compared to this place
Generally speaking, Dailuan City and Xueyan Valley are in the same direction, but they will eventually become cross paths.
"I'll tell you about this slowly."
Shanhai put his hands on Aluan's shoulders, which felt inexplicably reassuring.
It was completely dark, and many fireflies were flying nearby, like naughty stars coming down to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Shua-"
There was another noisy sound, which was exactly the same as the sound when they walked out of the waterfall. They immediately looked over, and Miss Qi walked out first. Then, Shi Wuqi also appeared.
He lowered his head slightly, and his long hair was spread out on the side of his face without being pulled up.
"This look is really scary." Xi Yu said, "If you don't open your mouth, you can go to the cemetery and pretend to be a female ghost to scare people."
"Why, male ghosts aren't scary anymore?"
Shi Wuqi smiled, but there was more than just exhaustion in his tone. A firefly flew past him, illuminating one of his pale cheeks. Shan Hai stepped forward and frowned.
"You don't seem to be well. What happened?"
"fine."
Wu Qi shook his head and took a step back.
Shan Hai clearly noticed something strange, and immediately stepped forward, raising both fingers at the same time. A spell burned between his fingers, and the flickering light of the fire lit up his sight.
"——What's wrong with you?!"
"I said it's okay."
Shi Wuqi's tone was understated, but the others could no longer sit still. They all came over to try and persuade her. Xi Yu was the closest, and when she stepped forward to see Shi Wuqi's face clearly, she suddenly let out a loud enough
The scream that penetrated the eardrums startled the sleeping birds in the forest.
She fell to the ground and others went to help her up.
Her trembling hand pointed at the bleeding right eye socket.
