Night Watchman - C255
Although Dazhi is not my blood brother, but we have been through life and death together so many times, and our brotherhood is even closer than blood brothers! At this moment, he saw the corpse of the large board hanging on top of the beam. His mind instantly became blank, as if he had been struck by lightning and stood there blankly.
Bang!
The sound of a gunshot from somewhere brought me back to reality. The instant I came back to my senses, I immediately realized that something was amiss.
The board had only been in for a short while, and it hadn’t even been the time it took to make a cup of tea. Even if something had really happened to him, his corpse wouldn’t have rotted to such an extent in such a short amount of time! Furthermore, even if the person hanging on the beam was really a big board, he should still be alive!
Thinking of this, I immediately pulled out a dagger and rushed towards the main entrance of the hall.
However, just as I reached the main entrance of the hall, I discovered that there weren’t any ropes on the beam, let alone any corpses! Under the illumination of the moonlight, the large board was standing in the middle of the hall. It was holding onto a gun as it looked around vigilantly, as if it was about to face a great enemy!
The heck, could it be that what I saw just now was just an illusion?
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but rub my eyes. As for Bian Tou, he turned his head to look at me. With a nervous expression, he approached me.
“Brother Zhou, weren’t you the first to go inside? Why are you behind me? ”
Hearing this, I immediately frowned. “What?” “When did you see me go in there?”
“Just now!”
Seeing that I was still frowning, Bighead told me what he had seen himself.
When he climbed up to the top of the wall, he saw through the open window of the ancestral hall that Zhang Zikong was lying there covered in blood. Then, I appeared at the entrance of the ancestral hall and rushed in. When he saw me silently rushing in, he hurriedly followed me in.
However, after entering, he found that he had somehow arrived at a place where he could not even see his fingers. Only a pair of green eyes flickered faintly in the darkness like a large beast.
He did not know what it was, so he held his breath and took out his gun. But at this moment, a gunshot came from the distance.
As soon as the gunshot was fired, the surrounding darkness instantly dissipated, and moonlight began to shine through the windows.
“What did you say?” Did you just see Chinese cabbage lying in there covered in blood? ”
“That’s right! And it wasn’t dead yet! “It looked very uncomfortable, but you appeared at the door later …”
Then he said something that I couldn’t quite make out, and I was thinking about what had just happened.
I’ve experienced being possessed twice before, and it was as if I’d entered another world at that time. I had no idea what I was doing. When he woke up, he had no impression of what he had done.
The large board can clearly remember what we did just now, which means that what we encountered wasn’t the so-called upper body of the ghost, but an illusion technique called the Circular Light Technique.
But if it was a round light technique, the caster must have seen Zhang Zikong’s appearance in order for him to create his illusion in front of the caster and confuse the others. Also, the caster cannot be too far away from the caster, otherwise the illusion created would become blurry.
In other words, the spellcaster is someone who has seen the big board, and he’s hiding somewhere not too far away from us!
Thinking of this, I immediately pulled the large board out of the hall and started searching the surroundings.
However, what made people curious was that the ancestral hall was only so big. Besides the four walls, there was nothing else in the area.
Moreover, the entire ancestral hall was very old. Even though one could not tell that this was an ancient building that had been through thousands of years, most of the things inside had already been eroded away by the wind.
In the entire hall, apart from the statue on the top seat that was almost completely destroyed by the wind, everything else had already turned to dust. It was empty everywhere, not a single person could be seen!
Then, where was the person who used the round light technique hiding?
We have already checked the back of the stone statue, but there isn’t a single person around. There’s no place for a person to hide on top of the pillar. Furthermore, I’ve checked the bluestone floor tiles with the big board and they are all solid!
That is to say, in the entire ancestral hall, other than me and Bian Tou, there is no one else! Then what about the [Circular Light Technique] that we had before? Could it be that there was a monster in this old forest that had reached the Exquisite Realm?
Thinking of this, my heart couldn’t help but have that strange feeling from before. It was as if there was a pair of eyes watching us in a dark corner of the ancestral hall!
“Brother Zhou, I’ve seen it. That sandalwood fragrance seemed to have been deliberately attracted here before.”
“How did you know someone was trying to lure us here?”
“The sandalwood was found in the gap below the broken statue, and it was caught behind a piece of colorless, tasteless incense. If it wasn’t for the fact that someone wanted to lure us here after they left, why would they have hidden it so well?”
The sandalwood incense before received a colorless, tasteless, special literary fragrance, which meant that the person who lit the incense did not want to be discovered before it was discovered.
It would be reasonable to say that this was a clue that Zhang Zi Kong had left behind for us from Dong Hai and the rest. But the question is, why did he lure us to such a dangerous place?
If Zhang Zi Kong was trying to harm us on purpose, then even if another ten of us came, we would still not be his match! But if he didn’t mean to lead us into danger, then what about the light magic that we are dealing with?
Bang!
Just as I was lost in my thoughts, I heard another gunshot from the distance.
“Brother Zhou, tell me, could it be that Young Master Hua is coming up?”
When we left the cliff before, the insects that bit into the vines had already been cleaned up by me and Big Board. On the cliff, there were still some vines. With Qin Lingxiao around, it was not impossible for Hua Xun to make it up again.
Thinking up to this point, I shot a shot into the sky. Then, I had the large board lead me towards the broken statue.
There were too many strange things that happened tonight. Zhang Zi Kong was ahead of us, so he should know more than us. Perhaps he had brought us here to tell us what had happened. Therefore, it was very likely that there were other clues left behind in the crevice under the stone statue.
However, the moment my body bends to turn on the flashlight, a pair of dark green eyes suddenly appear in the narrow crack that can only be reached with one hand!
