"I didn't expect a medicine man to be so difficult to deal with." Ji You glanced at the fallen medicine man and the head that fell on the roof, and whispered to himself. With a medicine man naked, Ji You
It was the first move to abandon the country. If there were more medicine people around the poison master, I don't know how much trouble it would be.
After a slight pause, Ji You headed directly towards the mayor's residence...
At this moment, the mayor's room is not as quiet as outside. Instead, it is very noisy. Many people dressed in different clothes are in the mayor's residence. Some of them are sitting, some standing, and some
They were squatting, and there were men, women, and children. In the center of this group of people, there was a white-haired old man with a cane in his hand. He looked like the leader of these people.
However, the atmosphere in this room exudes a faint fear. It seems that everyone in this room feels scared and worried...
"Mr. Sha, what should we do now? The mayor is also dead. Those who come here are either unable to do anything, or they are dead like the mayor. In two days, it will be time again. If
If this continues, our Shaling Town will be doomed sooner or later!" A middle-aged man looked at the white-haired old man anxiously, and there was undisguised fear in his voice.
Ji You landed outside the mayor's residence and looked at the scene inside through the window, and the conversations of these people also fell into Ji You's ears. He did not go in immediately because he didn't know yet what was going on inside.
Who and why would they appear in the mayor's residence?
"Quiet!" The old man seemed to be unable to bear the noisy sound, and he felt the crutch hit the ground twice hard in his hand, "What's the use of making noise here? If you have the strength, you might as well fight hard, maybe you can still find a way to survive.
!”
Hearing the old man's words, the whole room fell silent in an instant, and the people who were noisy just now also shut their mouths. It's not that they didn't want to fight, but fighting must be meaningful! In front of each other, they just
It's no different from an ant that can be easily crushed.
"Are you people from Shaling Town?" A deep voice slowly came out and reached the ears of everyone in the room.
Following the old man's gaze, almost everyone turned their attention to the man wearing a black robe standing at the entrance of the room. The man exuded a faint strange smell, which made everyone alert, and
This weird smell was contracted by Ji You when she was dealing with the medicine man just now.
who is he?
This question has arisen in everyone's mind. No one has come to Shaling Town for who knows how long, let alone walked to the mayor's residence in Shaling Town in the middle of the night.
But at this moment, the man in black came and walked to this place. But why did he come here? What is the purpose of coming here?
"You...are you...?" The old man pointed at Ji You, who was wearing a black robe, with a trembling finger. Feeling the faint chill emanating from his body, his words were unclear.
Ji You glanced at the people around him and found no one similar to the medicine man. However, many of these people looked depressed. After a moment of silence, he spoke: "Although I don't know what you are doing."
Why are you gathered here, but I hope you can answer my questions well now."
"Problem?" The old man was stunned for a moment. The moment he saw Ji You, he felt that Ji You was that person's subordinate, but now it seems that it is not what he thought before.
"What a damn question! If you want to kill, just kill him. We can't resist anyway..." Before the old man could continue to speak, a middle-aged man shouted excitedly.
"Shut up!" The old man knocked hard twice with his cane, then turned his attention to Ji You and said, "Who are you? What do you want to know from us?"
The old man spoke, and the hall became silent. Everyone focused on Ji You, as if waiting for Ji You to speak.
"I am a person sent by the Yingtian Empire to investigate Shaling Town. You only need to know this." Ji You doesn't want to explain too much about her identity, and for these people, such an explanation is enough.
That's enough. Anyway, even if he tells these people that he is a Shadow Guard, these people don't know what a Shadow Guard is.
"First question, did the former mayor of Shaling Town die in your hands?"
The people around me looked at each other and shook their heads, but no one spoke.
After a while, the old man said to Ji You: "I don't know why you came here, but I can answer your question. The former mayor was not killed by us. Your Excellency, the mayor came to our Shaling Town.
After that, he did countless good things for our Shaling Town, so how could we kill him in retaliation?"
"Furthermore, the mayor is also a cultivator. It will not be easy for us to kill him."
After hearing the old man's words, Ji You nodded slightly, and then said: "Who did it?"
Upon hearing a question, people in the hall either sighed or scratched their heads, but without exception, everyone's eyes showed fear.
Finally, the old man sighed and replied: "It was an old woman we rescued. When we rescued her, she was already dying. After several months, she lived in Shaling Town. Although
She didn't talk to others, but she was still kind, but not long ago, the mayor noticed something was wrong, so he went to find her, and then he never came back."
"The old woman's eyes are slightly protruding, and her face is full of wrinkles. She looks weird." Ji You was stunned for a moment, and then immediately thought of the old woman she saw when she first came to Shaling Town.
, and then asked.
"That's right!" After hearing Ji You's description, the old man immediately said, "It was her. If it hadn't been for her, we wouldn't have ended up like this. Shaling Town wouldn't have become what it is now. We
No matter how much you think about it, you will pay such a price to save people."
As he spoke, the old man also had a look of regret on his face. They had good intentions to save people, but they saved someone they shouldn't have saved. Saving a poison master like that was like inviting death to him.
In my home, the old man really hanged himself. He was tired of living...
However, these ordinary people can't tell whether the other party is a poison master. Even a mysterious person has a hard time distinguishing the identity of the poison master.
"Then why are you gathered in the mayor's residence now? Since you know that the old woman killed the mayor, why did the previous batches of people who came to investigate get nothing. And why don't you leave Shaling Town and go to the mayor's residence?
Should the Yingtian Empire report this matter?" Logically speaking, since these people knew the terror of the other party, they should leave here quickly, but instead of leaving, they gathered in the mayor's residence.
"We also wanted to run away, but the old woman arrested one person from each of our families and threatened us, saying that the Yingtian Empire could not let the Yingtian Empire discover these things, so we could only pretend to be normal. Moreover, if we ran away, then our
Family..." A middle-aged woman started crying as she spoke.
At this time, Ji You finally understood the reason.
At this time, the old devil's voice also rang in Ji You's mind: "These people are really stupid. The hostages captured by the poison master are probably almost dead. Either they were poisoned to death, or
After being refined into a medicine person, you must know that medicine people are not 100% able to successfully refine it."
"You mean, those people are all dead?" After hearing what Fushen Laomo said, Ji You was also stunned, and then asked in her heart.
"Of course, even if they are not dead, they are almost dead. Ask these people if the poison master arrests a few people every once in a while."
Ji You nodded slightly, and then asked the old devil Fushen what he said, and then got an affirmative answer. The poison master would arrest a few people every ten days, so at night, they would
Everyone gathers in this place to seek some psychological comfort. At least, having so many people here can reduce the inner fear.
After hearing the answers from these people, the old devil Fushen's voice sounded again: "That's right, those people should be dead, that's why the poison master came to arrest them, because she needs living people to make medicine.
Human materials. According to what these villagers said, nearly a hundred people have been captured. I estimate that the poison master has successfully refined at least ten medicine men."
The success rate of refining medicine men is not high, but the poison master has captured so many people, and successfully refining ten medicine men is already the most conservative estimate. If the poison master's refining success rate is higher
, then the number of medicine people will be even greater.
Ji You looked at the villagers gathered here, shook her head helplessly, and decided not to tell them the bad news. If they knew the bad news at this time, they don't know if they can persist...
"Do you know where the old woman is?" Ji You asked the question he wanted to know most at the moment. He didn't plan to stay here for too long, so he needed to know where the poison master was.
, and then solve it.
Although ten medicine men are troublesome, it is not impossible. The poison master itself is very fragile. As long as the opponent is killed, the remaining medicine men are just puppets without masters and will not be able to play any role at all.
