Chapter 149 The Monster Who Eats in Lingcheng

The next morning, there was a lot of noise in Lingcheng.

Seven major households in the city disappeared in a row. It would be normal to say that people died, but the problem is that these people will not live or die.

All the clothes were left behind, and everyone was missing.

And they are not alone. In these seven major families, from slaves to heads, from at least thirty to hundreds, they evaporated from the world for no reason.

This incident naturally attracted the attention of the Grand Marshal Lingcheng, so many soldiers were sent to assist in the investigation.

Even the surroundings were blocked.

After all, this matter is too strange, and it can make hundreds of people disappear quietly, which shows that the other party has the ability to make the entire Marshal's Mansion disappear together.

You know, this is really not even a single thing, and the method of committing the crime is weird.

The crowd in this ridge city was in panic and had to be alert, and even had to make a lot of effort to catch the murderer.

Of course, the upper class thought so, but the actual executors were the ones who worked on the grinder.

They are just a group of people who eat strong grain, and they only have a little money every month, so why bother to make a living?

Look at the person who attacked the enemy, he was always fighting with these wealthy families, and he was not unable to get along with the people below him. He really wanted to be foolish and chased him. What if he disappeared?

The rich businessmen above are relieved. If they are gone, they will really have nothing left.

As for compensation?

In this world, from the top to the bottom, it is considered a conscience to have a copper coins for this life.

Unless they say that there is a superior officer, these people are slowly investigating this matter, basically hoping that they will not be able to find out anything.

If they found something themselves, they were not allowed to track it, it would be life-threatening.

The whole world is so chaotic and terrible, and everyone survives tacitly in their way.

Ji Lan changed into a new outfit at this time, but it was still extremely wet, sitting in the yard embroidered something.

It looks like it has returned to normal, but it is indeed the case.

"Lan'er, don't go out recently. All the Zhang family members have disappeared. It is said that it is a ghost."

"It's not just the Zhang family who was killed by thousands of swords, but also the other Li family and Wang family, a total of seven families. These are hundreds of people, and they are gone, which is so scary."

"But Lan'er, don't worry, your father has already invited some thugs in the hospital. At that time, we are so angry that those ghosts will not dare to come in."

When Ji's mother saw Ji Lan embroidering in the yard, she felt relieved, and then she started talking in a nagging manner.

Ji Lan's condition yesterday made people worry.

"I understand, mom." Ji Lan's voice was still strange as crying, but she replied.

"It's good that you know." Ji's mother finished speaking with some anger, looking at what Ji Lan was embroidering curiously. After taking a look, she couldn't understand what she was embroidering.

"By the way, I heard Huang Po say yesterday that you drank dozens of barrels of water, this."

Ji's mother asked this question hesitantly. Judging from the situation yesterday, the slaves were almost frightened.

Ji Lan smiled cleverly: "Don't listen to those lingering women talking nonsense. When they came back, they were thirsty and there was less water in the pot. They had to drink it themselves. They thought I had drunk all of them, but most of them were spilled on them. Mom, when you hugged me yesterday, your clothes were wet."

The reason for this is very legitimate, but Ji's mother felt something was wrong. She just wanted to go deeper, but she couldn't find any mistakes in this sentence.

"Hmph, it's really those long-tongued women who are chewing on the back." After thinking for a while, Ji's mother could only agree with Ji Lan's words, and then when she thought of the slaves' words, she couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Mom, you think this is the reason. I think it's because you are so kind to them on weekdays. You dare to say anything. I'm afraid you won't be a slave to bully the master in the future, so you have to punish him." Ji Lan added along the way.

Ji's mother nodded: "What you said makes sense, it's really too presumptuous."

A red light flashed in Ji Lan's eyes, and then disappeared. At this time, she looked more like a human being.

"Tsk tsk, this body of blood and resentment cannot be stopped, but the strength has grown too fast, it is as unscientific as fighting monsters and upgrading."

Chen Xiyi sat in the business and had just finished talking to a caravan to accompany the team. It cost him twelve yuan. He originally thought he could reach ten yuan, but he didn't expect that he could only reach twelve yuan, but he was not short of these two yuan.

The reason why the price is reduced is that Chen Xiyi doesn't want someone to treat him as a sucker, otherwise you will give as much money as you say. This is not stupid, especially if you use a value-preserving currency like Dayang.

"I must have been uneasy these two days, and I don't know how far Ji Lan can grow."

It is currently a period of rapid development of Ji Lan, which does not mean that Ji Lan has infinite potential, and the upper limit is probably only the strength of the water ghost in the water.

But this is also powerful enough, perhaps even better than some bait Qi Refiners.

Any Feng Shui master or sorcerer who has some skills can detect something is wrong when passing through this Ji Mansion.

Of course, I just noticed it and didn't think too much.

After all, in common sense, there are absolutely no monsters in the city. Even those terrifying demons who can fly and escape and are unparalleled in the world will not dare to approach a small village of 100 people.

Popularity and yang energy are enough to erase it.

Everyone is full of qi. The qi of demons and ghosts can provide their strength. Although human qi cannot provide strength, it can erase each other with the qi of demons and ghosts. What's more, the popularity and yang energy that form settlements are stronger than the qi of demons and ghosts.

Of course, these restrictions are basically non-existent for Qi Refiners.

Even Chen Xiyi was not affected.

This is a tiny part of the rights obtained by all Qi Refiners after monopoly.

"Why is the species of ghosts abandoned by Qi Refiners?"

Chen Xiyi was sure that Qi Refiners had already had records in this regard.

The crazy qi refiner must have had human experiments. In Chen Xiyi's eyes, ghosts are a rare synthetic species.

Whether it is your own racial value or subsequent development potential, as long as you use better ghosts, you can gain a stronger body.

He used water ghosts, and if he used starving ghosts, mother and child ghosts and other ghosts, perhaps the ghosts that were synthesized would be more powerful.

"From this, it can be completely judged that the synthetic ghost species is flawed."

Otherwise, how could Qi Refiners abandon such a good project? Chen Xiyi has only developed it initially and can be improved and optimized next.

"In this way, it is even more likely that the defects of the ghost man cannot be optimized, or that the standards required by the Qi Refiners cannot be met after optimization?"

Chen Xiyi kept writing a lot of speculations in the system.

This ghost man was a species optimized from semi-water ghost transformation by chance, but it is definitely not a new species.

"Brother Chen, the departure time may have to be delayed for a few days. Something big happened in the city." A strong caravan manager came over and said apologetically.

"Big thing? What big thing? Then we have to postpone it for a few days." Chen Xiyi asked calmly.

The manager did not hide it: "I don't know, I'm still inquiring about it. It is said that there were seven family extermination cases, and none of them stayed behind."

"This matter is not yet concluded. At least three or five days have to wait. But don't worry, you don't have to pay for food and accommodation these days. We are not trustworthy."

This manager is also a good person. Chen Xiyi lives in their chamber of commerce. How much money can he have in food and accommodation? Reputation is the most important thing.

"It's been so long, it won't be the city lockdown, right?" Chen Xiyi asked back.

"That's not that serious. At most, it's a day to seal it. Lingcheng can't stand it." The manager thought for a while and said.

As the manager of the caravan, I still have a certain understanding of the economic situation of Lingcheng. If I seal it for ten days and half a month, I may have problems.

Lingcheng is not as good as Dongtai City. It is not a trivial matter to go out by the Lingcheng surrounded by mountains. Of course, it is also difficult to get in.

It is precisely because it is much more stable than outside, after all, not many people are willing to come here.

Of course, it corresponds to economic poverty. Except for the caravans who are willing to come, there are basically very few foreign trade, and they rely entirely on self-sufficiency inside and outside the city.

If this is locked down and the supply inside and outside is cut off, the situation in the city will be worse than that in Dongtai City, which has been locked up for a month.

"That's good, leave early and be happy. After all, this person has destroyed hundreds of people. If it's our turn, we will suffer a disaster." Chen Xiyi said casually, just like he didn't know anything.

The manager also sighed: "Yes, the cities in Shu are the most peaceful on weekdays. Everyone is separated by the forest and it is inconvenient to march. Unexpectedly, there are such crazy people in this Lingcheng who can destroy the entire seven families overnight. To be honest, I suspect that the commander of the Lingcheng took action."

"Be careful when doing things, don't say these words. That disaster is true. If someone hears it, even if our caravan is powerful, it will inevitably lead to quarrels." Chen Xiyi persuaded him very kindly.

"Yes, I'm so unrestrained." The manager could tell the difference between Chen Xiyi's words.

After the two chatted a little more, the manager left in a hurry. As the manager of the caravan, he would not say that he was just like Chen Xiyi. He also had serious things. He was able to chat with Chen Xiyi and he had time to get out, not to mention that he was at this moment of sudden change.

"I don't know if there will be any changes tonight."

Chen Xiyi's vision shifted to the eyes of looking at Ji Lan, who was monitoring Ji Lan. Ji Lan looked very normal without any problems, except that she was relatively wet.

As the night gradually descended, a large number of soldiers began to patrol the entire city of Ling, and the Grand Marshal's Mansion, wealthy merchants and other series were all key inspection targets.

Ji Lan kept walking in the shadows with water stains in the shadows.

The scarlet and hungry eyes did not look at the rich people, but instead fell on the patrolling soldiers.

The saliva secreted from her mouth continued to gather. Ji Lan, with her hair dispersed, looked at the soldiers with picky looks, as if she was looking for a goal that suited her psychological expectations.

The next second, the last soldier carrying a gun quietly covered his mouth and nose by his hands stretched out from the shadow. Before he could struggle or shout, the dripping water droplets in the shadow and the slightly chewing sound began to wander in the quiet night.

However, the soldiers patrolling seemed to turn a deaf ear and did not notice the strange movement in the corner of the shadow.

Only Chen Xiyi observed all this with the eyes of hope, constantly recording these data in the system.
