"This... is Eternal Night City?" Mingruo's heart was trembling. This Eternal Night City should not be what she thought - the darkest place, the vampire's lair.
Seeing the change in the princess's face, Si Haochen frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
"No...it's nothing..." Mingruo felt the atmosphere here carefully, and found that it wasn't too heavy, and it seemed to be quite safe.
Si Haochen held Mingruo's hand: "Don't be afraid."
"Oh." Mingruo grabbed Si Haochen's hand and shook it.
"Eternal Night City... is just a gold-selling cave. Here, as long as you have money, you can get everything you want." Si Haochen felt that it was necessary to tell the little princess about the situation, "What's the hook?
Qin Lou, Chu Pavilion, gambling shop, everything you need... there is no danger."
Upon hearing that there were no vampires, Mingruo immediately felt twice as safe.
As they said that, they had already walked to the back of a four-story building. The building was a bit ostentatious, with glazed tile roofs, carved beams and painted beams. The most important thing was that each pillar was painted with gold paint, which shone under the bright lights.
Hui.
"Master." A man in white clothes hurriedly walked over. He saw Mingruo next to Si Haochen and made a judgment before saluting, "Madam."
"Yes." Si Haochen nodded, "Lead the way."
"Yes." Xingyao led the two of them into an underground space.
The inside is not as dark and dirty as Mingruo imagined. Generally speaking, it is just an ordinary basement used for storage.
Xingyao walked to a door. There was someone guarding the door. When he saw a group of people approaching, he quickly saluted: "Master, Lord Xingyao."
I looked at Mingruo again and found that I didn't recognize him and didn't dare to call him casually.
"This is Madam." Xingyao introduced.
"Meet Madam."
"No courtesy." Mingruo nodded slightly.
Xingyao opened the door, and Si Haochen walked into the room first. Mingruo followed him. There was no furniture in the room. There were five people lying in a mess, each wrapped like a mummy.
Xingyao quickly explained: "If you don't restrain them, they will hurt people."
Mingruo looked at these people. Although his body was restrained, his eyes were extremely fierce. Not only did he want to attack them who came in, but he also hated 'the same kind'.
Mingruo's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had been struck by a black witch's soul-stealing spell. Mingruo took out a silver needle and inserted a few needles into one of the acupuncture points. The man's eyes became clearer, and then changed.
You have to be fierce. Tsk, this is quite stubborn.
Linglong fell on Mingruo's shoulder: "Mom, there are small reptiles in their bodies. Use the roots of Acorus to disperse them."
Mingruo took out a calamus from his 'sleeve pocket' without changing his expression. The roots were still stained with soil. A faint fragrance floated out, and a small red insect as thick as a thread crawled out of the man's nostrils.
, if you didn’t look carefully, you would have thought it was a nosebleed.
"Get a brazier." Mingruo immediately ordered.
Xingyao quickly brought a brazier, and Mingruo used tweezers to put the fainted red worm into the brazier. It burned with a pop, and it actually gave off the smell of burning pig skin... This is so disgusting.
Mingruo felt that she would never be able to face Pigskin again.
Looking at the man again, he seemed to have completely regained his senses and his eyesight was very clear.
"Ma'am, please step back. I'll take out the stuff that's stuck in his mouth. They would have bitten before." Xingyao came to Mingruo's side.
Upon hearing this, Mingruo first pulled out the silver needle from his head, and then stepped aside.
Xingyao removed the gag from the man's mouth: "Are you awake now?"
"Subordinate, you're awake." I still have some vague memories of chasing people and biting them.
Mingruo gave several other people deworming and injections, and they all quickly returned to normal.
"Are they possessed by a poison?" Si Haochen couldn't help but frown.
"The main reason is that the black witch's soul-stealing technique should be used on multiple people at the same time. It not only consumes mental energy, but also cannot achieve the best hypnotic effect. Therefore, the red thread worm mainly plays a supporting role." Ming Ruo thought.
After a while, he said, "It takes at least three or four months for red threadworms to grow. It's best to think about what special places they went to together or what special people they met three or four months ago."
Xingyao checked their recent mission trajectories, but did not check it so long ago. But at this time they were all awake, looked at each other, and said: "We annihilated the Evil Ghost Alliance near the border town three months ago.
stronghold."
"How many people are going with you?" Mingruo couldn't help but frown.
"Ten people."
Xing Yaoyan's corner jumped, but he quickly calmed down: "There seems to be nothing unusual about the others."
"The sleeping spell needs to be triggered. For example, these guys should be normal before they come back here."
"Exactly." These people only went crazy after returning here.
"Then the triggering point is probably to return to the 'stronghold'." A sneer appeared on the corner of Si Haochen's lips. They destroyed the Evil Ghost Alliance's stronghold. This was the opponent's counterattack. They also used a move to 'defeat themselves'
"Using a spear to attack one's own shield" is also considered a skill.
It's a pity that the other party missed something. The people of Yunyan Pavilion will draw people from different places for each operation. Moreover, after the mission is over, they will be scattered around. Even these five people were recalled one after another, and there will be no cause for concern.
Massive chaos.
"Recall in batches those who previously destroyed the Evil Ghost Alliance." Si Haochen ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Xingyao took the order.
Si Haochen led Mingruo out of the basement, used Qinggong to jump directly to the fourth floor of the splendid building. There was an enlarged terrace with tea seats.
Mingruo leans on the railing and looks into the distance. From near to far, there are various buildings and shops. Every place is brightly lit, and there are all kinds of pedestrians passing by. It is very lively and prosperous at first glance.
Above the head is the dark stone wall cave roof. I don’t know how many luminous pearls and fluorite were used to create the feeling of a vast starry sky.
"Come in and take a rest first?" Si Haochen held Mingruo's hand and pushed open the door to the terrace.
The room is paved with sapphire, the walls are made of white jade, and every piece of furniture is inlaid with mother-of-pearl. When the candlelight shines on the crystal bead curtain, it really fills the room with brilliance.
The look in Mingruo's eyes when she looked at Si Haochen was full of words, as if she was saying - I didn't realize that you are like this Si Haochen."
"Ahem." Si Haochen doesn't come here often. In fact, he doesn't appreciate the bright decoration style everywhere in Yongye City.
Mingruo washed his hands seriously, then pulled out a chair and sat down. A servant knocked on the door and brought in tea and snacks.
Mingruo picked up a piece of snack and said, "Is it possible that the Evil Ghost Alliance is controlled by Xikang behind the scenes?"
"Xikang doesn't have such a big force yet, but people from Xikang are bound to be involved." Xikang has been very active recently.
