Chapter 26: The Ghost town

Cao Honghua slowly walked out of the dilapidated house.

At that time, his figure had changed greatly.

The originally ordinary middle-aged man’s figure grew to nearly three metres. The whole person was like a muscular giant, and the surface of his body was black and bluish, and his eyes were bloodthirsty.

With every step, deep footprints appeared on the ground . With his current weight, the ground could not support it at all.

He grinned, revealing three rows of fangs, lined up like some kind of carnivorous dinosaur.

“Do you want to seize the time to cultivate when you don’t leave the station?”

“It’s quite diligent, but I’m also cultivating!”

He said to himself, his words full of wanton and perverseness.

A cultivator genius who was at the peak of the law, close to the star palace realm, hid his strength, had been incognito for nearly ten years, and only transmitted information for the sect.

Now, he let go of the responsibility and was freed once.

For the Cultivators who cultivated the Netherworld Soul Manipulation

, the physical body was a consumable item.

The main body in the soul was the key.

It needed to be hidden before, so he didn’t make this body practise hard techniques.

He didn’t need it now.  Whoever killed Tian Jiao, a jinyu rank from Jinyu Division, must not have knowledge of divination, soul Manipulation

and other techniques. There was absolutely no possibility of him hiding, and he would surely die.

He would simply strengthen this physical body to the extreme.

All kinds of evil Dao techniques and Dao techniques were all filled, creating this terrifying demon body

As for the trivial matter that this flesh body and his soul had only three months of life left…

Was it important?

He looked into the distance and muttered to himself, “Gu Qing’an, I’m here!”

…

North of Black River City, Nanping Town

Thunderstorms raged, and dark clouds shrouded the ominous land.

An ordinary house located in the east of town.

Click.

An electric light pierced through the darkness and lit up the room.

Du Weiyi’s face was full of stubble, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had heavy dark circles, as if he hadn’t slept for several days.

He hugged the quilt and shrunk on the bed, trembling as if he was sick.

Hearing the sound of thunder, he trembled more fiercely.

But soon, his eyelids couldn’t stop closing.

“I can not sleep……”

“I can not sleep……”

“I can not sleep!!!!”

He pinched his thigh hard, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

But, how could drowsiness be resisted?

Gradually, the thunderstorm sounded away from his ears.

There seemed to be someone standing beside him, speaking softly.

‘Go to sleep…’

‘Go to sleep…’

‘You can come to see us when you sleep. ’

As Du Weiyi’s sleepiness became stronger and stronger, the voice became more and more real in his ears.

The tone contained in it also changed from gentle and delicate at the beginning to containing a hint of resentment.

“I can’t sleep!” Du Weiyi’s eyes widened. He picked up the dagger beside the bed, and stabbed him in the thigh.

Chi.

Blood was dripping down onto his red sheets.

The white sheets were stained red with blood.

“Ah!!!” He panted heavily, the intense pain briefly banishing his sleepiness.

The voice stopped abruptly.

Du Weiyi gave a wry smile. “How long can I live?”

“Damn, why hasn’t Jingyao Division come to deal with it?!”

“And this thunderstorm, it’s been five or six days, can’t it stop?”

Du Weiyi cursed loudly, but sighed again.

Counting the days, it had been almost ten days since the first murder.

After all, he was also a retired ranger. He knew that this kind of big event affecting a town would usually be handled by a innate patrol in three or four days.

Now that the inspector haf not arrived, it meant that…

Du Weiyi didn’t dare to think about it.

“I really can’t stand it anymore…”

His eyes slowly closed.

…

The setting sun was like blood, and there was no cloud in a thousand miles.

Gurgling, the axles turn, the hoofs gallop.

Twenty or so rangers drove along the main road surrounded by a carriage.

“Business inspection, and then go north to Wuli Road to Nanping Town.”

A seasoned ranger faced the carriageway.

“Well, I see,” A lazy female voice came from inside the carriage.

This ranger had excellent hearing, and he faintly heard swallows whisper in the carriage, and his heart jumped unnaturally.

Inside the carriage, Gu Qingan held onto Shang Luoyun’s uneasy hand with a cold face.

“Qing’an, we’ll be in Nanping Town soon.”

Shang Luoyun withdrew her hand and looked at Gu Qing’an with a natural expression.

Gu Qingan was a little confused when she saw it.

Is sister really serious?

Why do you keep reaching out to my leg?

She was speechless.

You wait, after I beat you, you will be obedient.

Fortunately, five miles away, not too long.

Nanping Town, here we are.

“Are you the elders of Jingyao Division? Come in, please.”

The guards in the town saw this group of people and smiled diligently.

Gu Qing’an lifted the curtains of the carriage and looked at the town.

There was a low wooden wall around the town, but the top of the wood wad simply sharpened and tied with hemp rope.

The sharp-eyed Gu Qingan noticed that the hemp ropes on the wooden wall had broken in some places, and the wood fell to the ground, unattended.

She shook her head, not optimistic about the role of the wooden wall.

‘Or is this wooden wall just to make the townspeople feel like they’re protected?’

The convoy marched, and the townspeople gave way.

Through the curtains, it could be seen that most of the townspeople were in rags, and occasionally a few were wearing clean, patched clothes.

Each with a yellow face, thin skin, and a feeling of malnutrition.

There were still children chasing and making trouble on the street, and four or five children were chasing a wild cat, and they had a lot of fun.

Maybe only children could be happier.

The carriage drove past a closed house in the east of town.

Gu Qing’an keenly noticed that the townspeople were a little disgusted and did not want to approach this room.

She called out a ranger to ask the townspeople, and the motorcade continued.

Soon after, the Ranger followed the team to report, “Miss Gu, there is a lunatic living in this house.”

“Mad?” Gu Qing’an was taken aback.

“Junior Sister Qing’an.” Shang Luoyun reminded.

“Mmmm.” Gu Qing’an realised that their motorcade had arrived at a building complex.

It was a few courtyard houses with black bodies and cornices.

Not only did it look beautifully decorated and used a lot of materials, but it was also obviously taller than all the surrounding buildings, standing out from the crowd.

Shang Luoyun smiled and said, “This is where the inspectors are stationed when they are on patrol.”

“We’re staying here for one night.”

The convoy drove into the hospital, and the station was regularly maintained by someone, so one could move in directly.

However, what the team members didn’t notice was that.

As they entered the courtyard, the original flow of people was surging, and needles could be heard falling from the bustling town interface.#pleasereadtisatwondernovels.com

The active townspeople stopped and looked at the Jingyao Division’s station with a smile on their faces, but they were extremely stiff and gave a creepy feeling.

They mumbled in their mouths and said strange and illogical words.

Squeak.

A ranger came out of the courtyard gate.

Everything was back to normal in an instant. The crowd began to surge again.

It was just that the originally natural expression on everyone’s face took on a weird smile.
