Chapter 20: Another Death

Unfortunately, until midnight, Oni Cried didn't see anything unusual.

By this time, people had already begun to disperse.

The boatman was going to accept it, but the ghost cried and didn't agree, and said to pay more.

Seeing the ghost crying was willing to pay a little more, the boatman naturally didn't say anything more.

People are willing to pay more to blow some cold wind, what can he do?

The boatman was exhausted, so the charge was higher, plus snacks and three-tailed fish, a total of 50 Wen, very affordable.

Ghost Cry paid 50 yuan, but fortunately, when he went out, he guessed that it would cost a lot of money, so he brought enough copper coins.

Paid the money and got off the boat.

At the end of the day, there was no gain, and the ghost cry was not discouraged at all.

After going home for a nap, the next morning, I went around outside again, and after finding that there were no dead people last night, I turned around and went back to the house to continue to make up for sleep.

It's night again, and Devil Cry goes out again.

This lasted for two days, and on the third day, a body was found on the shore.

This time, it's a wealthy businessman.

After getting the news, Ghost Cry went to the yamen as soon as possible.

The token that the old drunkard gave him worked very well, and as soon as he flashed it, he succeeded in getting what he wanted, and saw the corpse of the rich merchant.

This time, not only was the victim's heart gouged out, but even his brain was drained.

Moreover, the whole person was so thin that he was out of shape, and his skin was wrinkled, as if he had been drained of fat overnight.

However, the strange thing is that the death was so miserable, instead of being frightened, the corners of the deceased's mouth turned up, and it seemed to be very pleasant, but such a smile on this corpse looked particularly terrifying.

It can be seen that the fox demon's business has matured a lot.

first absorb popularity, then dig out the heart and lungs, knock open the skull, and suck the brain marrow.

From the sleek hole in his skull that could only hold one finger, Ghost Cry could tell how amazing the fox demon's finger power was.

During the whole process, the victim did not feel any pain, and died before he knew it.

Although the fox demon has a name, called Qin Xianglian, the ghost cries and is reluctant to call her Qin Xianglian, because Qin Xianglian is the name of human nature, the name of a person, and the fox demon has lost its humanity.

I don't want to call her a vixen, the vixen is hated, but under normal circumstances, I don't want to kill, let alone eat people, it's not so harmful.

Therefore, the ghost cry is only willing to be called a fox demon.

Ghost Cry re-adjusted the file, read the information collected by the hunters, and memorized it.

Then, he hurried out the back door of the yamen.

As soon as he went out, he bumped into a person head-on.

This person has a mediocre appearance, a beard, and a brocade robe, just like an ordinary middle-aged wealthy businessman.

What is unusual, however, is that his steps are light, as if he has a light skill.

In his hands, he pinched two huge iron galls, and the collision of the iron made a "creaking" friction sound, which was a little harsh, which showed that his finger power was amazing.

The two passed by, not squinting, as if they didn't see each other.

But they all knew in their hearts that they were afraid that they would meet their peers.

After leaving the yamen, the ghost did not rush home, but came to the city and walked into a bookstore.

The owner of this shop was immersed in the sea of books, and Ghost Cry knocked on the table twice before he turned around.

Seeing the token of the ghost crying, he asked, "What do you want?"

"About the fox demon. ”

The shopkeeper beckoned a scholar, said a few words to him, waited until the scholar left, took out his abacus, and asked the ghost to cry, "How long are you going to stay?"

"Dusk. The ghost cried.

The shopkeeper crackled and calculated, but after a while, he said, "I have always been a hundred and twelve went." ”

It's really damn expensive, the ghost cryed and his heart throbbed slightly, took out an ingot of five taels, broke off a piece, and put it on the table.

The shopkeeper looked at the condition, took out the golden scale, weighed it, hit it twice on the abacus, put away the silver, opened the drawer, and made up 32 copper plates.

Devil Cry put away the copper plate and sat down at a table.

Immediately, a guy came up and offered a plate of pastries, a fragrant tea, and a basin of water.

Devil Cry washed his hands, and the man handed him a handkerchief and told Devil Cry to dry his hands before removing the basin.

Then the man went to the corner and put on a stick of incense.

At this time, Oni Cry sat down.

When the shopkeeper saw that Ghost Cry had been settled, he picked up the book again, shook his head and began to read it, only to read it out loud.

Before the ghost cries for long, the scholar walked up, holding a large stack of books, and placed it in front of the ghost cry.

Looking at the large stack of books, Ghost Cry sighed, picked up one, put it on the table and opened it.

In the evening, Ghost Cry walked out of the bookstore dizzily, went out of the city before the city gate was closed, returned home, and lay down for a while before resting.

Those books are terrible for the illiterate ghost cry.

He combined the content, combined with Yang An's semi-illiterate cultural knowledge, combined with simplified characters, and even guessed, before he could be regarded as reading it.

It's funny to say, the reason why Yang An learned to read and write is because his parents told him since he was a child that it is very important to learn to read and write, otherwise he won't be able to read a martial arts cheat book in the future, which is called a sadness.

Well, this is the personal experience of Yang An's father.

I heard that I still paid for Mr. later, so I learned.

Sorting out the relevant information in my mind, the ghost cried and pondered.

The abilities of fox demons are different, but there are a few things in common.

The first point is that their demonic energy can easily provoke people's lust, and what they like to do most is to use their demonic energy to bring each other into an illusion and absorb each other's essence.

The second point is the transformation of the shape, as the rumored monster that appears very frequently, the fox demon transformation is extremely easy, both male and female, will transform into human beauties, because they think that it is beneficial to themselves to do so.

The third point is about metamorphosis. Although it is easy to transform into a human form, the tail of the fox demon is difficult to collect, and it cannot be put away at all if it is not enough, even if it is enough, it will inadvertently reveal the fox tail from time to time. Therefore, the fox demon especially likes to wear wide skirts.

Finally, fox demons that like to eat people are very rare, and once they appear, they must be extremely dangerous.

It's dangerous, that's for sure.

It can be seen from the way the fox demon plucked out people's hearts that her claws must be extraordinary, and her nails are sharper than daggers.

From looking for her for so long and not finding her, you can know that she must be very good at concealing and restraining demonic energy.

As for the death of the rich businessman, the file is full of suspicions.

When the rich merchant died, he was obviously on a flower boat, and there were six domestic servants with him.

However, just as the wealthy businessmen were turning the clouds and raining.

The six servants fell asleep unconsciously, and the next day at dawn they found the body of the rich merchant beside them in the boat they had crowded.

Arrested and tortured, the servants did not match their words.

They said that it was on a big ship, there were several floors, people came and went, beautiful women like clouds, singing voices, and intoxicating wine.

But I can't explain which ship it is.

There are many boats in the lake, but there are a lot of boats as big as they described, and each one can be named.

They said that the rich merchant was with the number one on the ship, but they could not tell what the woman looked like, what her surname was, what title she had, only that she was beautiful.

This level is no longer a simple application of demonic energy, but to the level of illusion, and this level is not low, very high, enough to compare with some ghosts who are good at this way.

Powerful illusions, powerful claw power, and extraordinary stealth abilities combine to make for an extremely terrifying assassin.

Without the protection of dragon qi, even the emperor would be restless in the face of such an existence, not thinking about tea and dinner, and worrying about his life day and night.

This is definitely a fierce opponent, and it is by no means comparable to the opponent of Devil Cry.
