Forget it if it was somewhere else in the old city, but it was near the Siheyuan.
Coupled with the characteristics of high head and black body.
I don't know if she was too sensitive, but she subconsciously thought of the "Uncle Hat" that Lin Song and Lin Zhi met.
Is it possible that ordinary people, when they are extremely nervous and frightened, may have memory confusion and regard a black top hat in the night as a tall-headed monster dressed in black?
The answer is obviously possible.
So Yu Lin immediately asked in an interested tone:
"Then maybe I saw the wrong figure. Although there are no people in the old town, there are still a few residents."
Hearing this, the driver waved his hand: "No way, girl, that thing is already in front of you, why can't people still find it? Besides, my wife, colleague, and relative's son is already twenty-five, and he can still be scared by a human figure.
You come back with a high fever? It must be something evil."
This is true, so if it is really the mysterious man wearing the top hat, then something else must have happened.
As we talked, we arrived at our destination. The driver thoughtfully drove the car for a while and then said:
"It's cold. You can walk less here. This girl can have a snack by herself!"
Yu Lin smiled and thanked him, then got off the car after paying.
After leaving the heater in the taxi, the cold night wind blew in my face.
It's indeed a bit cold.
Yu Lin sighed, took out his mobile phone, took a photo of his shadow and the surrounding environment, and sent it to Shen Xuan.
And edited a message: today’s “voluntary” overtime work.
Click Send.
A minute later, Shen Xuan returned a kneeling expression and replied very politely:
"Master Yu has a great heart and is a role model for our generation! I will immediately apply for non-staff attendance allowance for you when I go back this time! (Note: Pay attention to safety)"
Yu Lin put away his cell phone with satisfaction and walked into the alley ahead.
Only the person directly in charge of the treasures in each place knows what they are. Like Yu Lin's Mingxuan Fan, apart from Wuwu, only Chen Guanzhu knows the true appearance of the fan.
However, there is a connection between the town objects. As the Mingxuan Fan, Yu Lin, the master of the Suzaku town object, can naturally feel the aura of the town object that is unique to it.
This is why she could detect the aura related to the town objects from the broken porcelain pieces Lin Song gave her last time at Qiu's house.
The courtyard is usually guarded by dedicated personnel. After all, it is a crucial position, and it is impossible to completely let it go.
In order to prevent being discovered, before going in, Yu Lin first made a divination for himself against the wall, and based on the faint spiritual energy of the town object, he estimated the approximate location of the town object.
Then he picked a dark corner and climbed in silently.
Different from the busy atmosphere in the investigation center, the atmosphere in the courtyard is not so tense.
After all, all they can do now is look at this town object that cannot move or disappear.
There are five people in charge of guarding, and they are all eating at this time.
"Hey, Lao Zhao, we are all here to eat, no one is going to see that thing, is everything okay?"
"It's okay! Just break the bottle? What can happen? Is it possible that I can still grow legs and run away?! Eat quickly, they are all hot dishes. I asked my brother to pack them for me."
"But didn't Boss Xiao say that this thing can't be left behind? How about I go guard it in the yard and you guys eat it first?"
"Hey, don't be too rigid in your behavior. Don't worry, Old Seven. If anything happens, we will all bear the burden together. Come and eat!"
Yu Lin, who easily learned the location of the town, just wanted to say one thing -
Thank you for the gifts of nature.
Silently avoiding the lights, we came all the way to the courtyard in the middle of the courtyard.
There is a sunken place in the center of the yard. It is not deep, but it is very neat. There are also some stones with strange patterns carved around it.
The overall feeling is exactly the same as the Suzaku Altar in the Xuanqing Gate Area.
In order to prevent the few people eating in the room from seeing it, Yu Lin simply put up a blindfold, and then he walked to the center of the courtyard with confidence.
Unexpectedly, there was something in the pit, and it was even related to the porcelain piece Lin Song gave her before - an obviously broken porcelain bottle
In the dim night, the broken porcelain bottle emitted tiny fragments of light.
From the fact that the porcelain bottle was broken but the spiritual energy still remained, it can be seen that the collapse of the Xuanwu Formation was not due to natural causes.
The spiritual breath has not dissipated, indicating that the Xuanwu town object still contains a considerable amount of spiritual power and is fully capable of suppressing the formation and acting as the center of the formation.
But it was broken.
As far as she knew, there were only a few people who had the ability to break a town's artifacts, not to mention the fact that they had to do it without attracting the attention of the guards, which doubled the difficulty.
Yu Lin took out the porcelain piece that Lin Song gave to him before. The moment he approached the porcelain bottle, the porcelain piece was automatically attracted to the bottle, and even the patterns were connected smoothly.
Fortunately, I came here tonight, otherwise if I had taken out the porcelain pieces when the battle started tomorrow, the impact would have been huge.
After doing all this, Yu Lin stood up and left. He removed a simple maze used as a blindfold and quietly prepared to leave.
The moment she turned the corner, a very slight wind suddenly came from behind.
Yu Lin immediately concentrated and held his breath, turned around and pressed against the wall. Only then did he have time to quietly speak.
I saw a figure suddenly appear in the open space not far away.
Wearing a strange robe and a black top hat on his head.
Yu Lin's pupils dilated slightly in an instant. This was the "Uncle Hat" in Lin Song's mouth.
The man in black robe lowered his hat and deliberately lowered his head, so that his face could hardly be seen clearly. Judging from his physique and body shape, he most likely was a man.
There were still waves of black mist lingering around him. Just one look at the black mist made people frown.
He didn't seem to want to attract the attention of the guards and was very careful when moving.
In the current situation, it was obviously unwise for Yu Lin to rush out directly, but if he wanted to stop this person from doing something to the town object, someone had to show up.
Thinking of that person's actions...
Yu Lin retreated behind the wall and continued to cover up his aura. Then he picked up a stone from the wall and threw it into the room from the blind spot.
The five guards who were eating were enjoying themselves so much that suddenly a stone fell in from outside the house.
Several people were instantly frightened and stood up. They immediately thought of the security situation and rushed to the yard.
The guard and the man in black robes collided with each other.
Without waiting for the guard to react, the man in black robes flicked his sleeves, ran away in a few steps, and disappeared in bursts of black mist.
Yu Lin, who was standing behind the wall, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her bet was right.
If this ignored guard still wanted to continue, then she would be forced to take action.
Yu Lin couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of all the troubles that might come after taking action.
I hope this is not the same killer as the one I encountered in Baiyunguan.
