It was obvious that the two assassins were not strangled to death.
This conclusion can be drawn mainly for two reasons.
The first is what Zhang San said. The two strangulation marks were too shallow and far from the level that could strangle a person.
Even though these two assassins were already dying at the time, they were still second-grade masters. How could they be worse than ordinary people?
The second reason is due to the characteristics of the luck beast.
After all, if it is really strangled, it undoubtedly means that the faceless beast can cause "substantial" harm to people when it is in its "virtual state".
Then this is a "duplicate" with Zhulong's magical power.
Thirteen sons of heaven, thirteen divine beasts of luck, thirteen magical powers of heaven... Wei Changtian doesn't think there will be any duplication or extreme similarity among them.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the faceless beast cannot directly kill people like the candle dragon.
And if that's the case, where did these two marks come from?
Wei Changtian was not sure about this.
But he had a bold guess.
...
In his previous life, Wei Changtian accidentally watched a video of a scientific experiment in which "the brain deceives the body".
Perhaps in order to verify the extent to which the human brain can control the body, a scientific team conducted an experiment.
They found a few volunteers, boiled a pot of boiling water in front of the volunteers, and then dripped the boiling water on the backs of the volunteers' hands.
However, this was actually only what the volunteers saw. In fact, the experimental team had quietly replaced the boiling water with ordinary cold water.
In other words, what actually dripped on the volunteers' hands was not boiling water, just cold water.
In this way, volunteers should not feel any discomfort if they are reasonable.
But the miraculous thing is that all the volunteers had all the reactions that should be expected after being burned, and many even had blisters on the backs of their hands.
Getting blisters from being scalded by cold water...this may sound incredible.
But that's the reality.
The human brain deceives the body, causing the body to behave in ways it should not.
So, did these two strangulation marks that should not have appeared occur in this way?
If this is the case, then the special magical power of this yet unknown son of heaven should be...
hallucination.
...
...
After almost a stick of incense, Wei Changtian walked out of the underground passage.
Looking at Li Zimu who was a little self-blaming next to him, he casually comforted:
"Don't think too much, I don't blame you for what happened tonight."
"On the other hand, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to find out who that mysterious person is."
"Master, have you found him?"
Suddenly his eyes widened, and Li Zimu immediately became energetic: "Who is it?"
"Remember the time our carriage almost hit an old beggar?"
Wei Changtian didn't hide it and answered truthfully: "That's him."
"Is it......"
His expression was extremely surprised. Li Zimu probably didn't expect that he had met this person before.
After being stunned for a long time, she quickly caught up with Wei Changtian and asked in a low voice:
"Sir, have you ever fought with this person?"
"Um."
Wei Changtian nodded: "Very strong, but not my opponent."
"..."
Very strong, but no match for me...
With his mouth slightly open, Li Zimu didn't know for a moment whether Wei Changtian was being modest or boastful. In short, the latter was unintentionally pretending to be a dick.
And her previous worries were indeed reduced a lot.
Although Wei Changtian often says things that sound extremely arrogant, in the end the facts always prove that he is not bragging.
Therefore, since the young master has said it, this person should really not be the young master’s opponent...
After quietly looking at Wei Changtian's profile, Li Zimu stopped talking.
The two of them walked all the way to the door of the mansion, but before they could go out, Zhang San suddenly walked over in a hurry from outside the door.
"Sir, Miss Xu just sent a message!"
"Huh? Xu Suisui?"
Wei Changtian paused: "What did she say?"
"Miss Xu said..."
Zhang San's expression was not very good. He looked around first, and then lowered his voice and said, "Master Qin is missing."
"What? My grandpa is missing?"
Wei Changtian suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang San, with a look of astonishment on his face: "When did it happen?"
"Master Qin disappeared an hour ago."
Zhang San answered truthfully: "Miss Xu has sent someone to look for her, but there are still no clues at the moment."
"..."
The moonlight was heavy, and the shadows of the three people were a little hazy.
Qin Zhengqiu disappeared.
Faced with this unexpected situation, Wei Changtian's first reaction was that his grandfather was going to cause trouble for him.
After all, if this were not the case, Qin Zhengqiu would have no reason to leave Xu Suisui who could provide him with Yulu Powder.
And does this also mean that Qin Zhengqiu has broken through the layer of window paper and truly entered the first-level realm?
Climb a rank and hope to become an immortal.
He wants to kill himself and become an immortal??
"I'm so damn convinced..."
The good mood that was originally good disappeared in an instant, and Wei Changtian even cursed a curse word in the style of his previous life.
However, after scolding him, he gradually calmed down. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice:
"Send a message to Xu Suisui and ask her to explain the matter in more detail."
"Who did my grandpa come into contact with before he disappeared? Where did he go? What actions did he take? Tell me everything she can find out."
"Also, ask her when was the last time she gave my grandpa Yulu Powder."
"Yes! The villain will send the message now!"
Zhang San knew the importance of this matter, so he immediately went to the side to deliver the message.
Wei Changtian, on the other hand, found a stone and sat down, and patted his forehead quite depressedly.
Destroy Da Qian and instigate rebellion against Su Qi.
The fifth demon land, the mysterious purple fruit.
Huo Tianyang who killed his son to seize his luck.
An old beggar who becomes his enemy for no apparent reason.
A son of heaven who is proficient in illusion.
The disappearance of Qin Zhengqiu.
Damn it, why do things keep coming up again and again?
One step away from inciting rebellion against Su Qi, this old beggar suddenly appeared.
After finally finding out the identity of the old beggar, Qin Zhengqiu disappeared again.
What does Xu Suisui eat? I’m really convinced...
Even though he knew this, he couldn't blame Xu Suisui. After all, no one could stop a first-grade or even first-grade master from wanting to leave.
But Wei Changtian still complained in his heart as if to vent his anger.
Ever since he saved Xu Suisui's life in the Xinfeng Palace, the latter had rarely been "at peace" for a while, without causing trouble for him, and he no longer messed with those "Riddler" operations.
But now...
well.
Sighing, Wei Changtian still had a different "tolerance" from others towards this only fellow countryman.
After all, Xu Suisui is the only one in the world who knows the most "secrets" about this world like him.
Even if she may not be able to help him, sometimes this kind of "I am not alone" sustenance is very important.
So...wait!!
His eyes suddenly widened, and Wei Changtian suddenly stood up at a certain moment, his eyes filled with disbelief.
His movements were without warning, and even Li Zimu next to him was startled.
However, Wei Changtian turned a blind eye to this, he just frowned and clenched his fists, as if he suddenly thought of something extraordinary.
And this is indeed the case.
At that moment, Wei Changtian finally thought of a possibility regarding the question of "how did the old beggar learn about the Son of Heaven?"
