"My dog eyes are going blind, my titanium alloy dog eyes are going blind …" Xu Qi 'an's eyes were burning and hot tears rolled down his cheeks.
The moment he peeped into the stargazing tower, his eyes felt like they were pierced by two steel needles. His consciousness went blank for a moment, and then he felt a sharp pain.
Song Tingfeng pressed one knee on Xu Qi 'an's chest to stop him from rolling around. Then he opened his eyelids and found that his colleague's eyes were red, but his pupils were fine.
Song Tingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and ignored his stupid colleague.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Xu Qi 'an's burning pain disappeared. He sat on the ground with red eyes, and his vision was still blurry. He could only see two figures in front of him.
"What did you do just now?" Song Tingfeng's voice came.
"I looked at the stargazing tower …" Xu Qi 'an closed his eyes and said thoughtfully, "My cousin is a student of Yunlu Academy. Today, he gave me a piece of paper that recorded the Qi Observation Spell."
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao knew the Xu family's wealth, so they nodded.
Xu Qi 'an continued, "Then I used the Qi Observation Spell to look at the Celestial Commissioner."
After that, he found that Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao didn't speak for a long time.
Song Tingfeng sighed, "Do you know that the Supervisor likes to stay on the Eight Trigrams Platform in the stargazing tower?"
"I don't know."
"Then do you know that the peak of the Warlock System is our Supervisor?"
"I do know that."
"Well, you used the Qi Observation Spell to look at the Supervisor. Aren't you courting death?"
"I really don't know about that …"
Zhu Guangxiao also sighed, "The Celestial Commissioner's Warlock often interacts with the night watchman. Slowly accumulate experience, and you will know in the future."
Except for the Warlocks and the Confucians, normal people wouldn't master the Qi Observation Spell.
This time, Xu Qi 'an was purely an accident.
The three of them didn't continue to patrol, but sat on the street to rest, waiting for Xu Qi 'an's dog eyes to recover.
After a long time, a red light suddenly rose from the eastern sky, lasted for a few seconds, and then dissipated.
"Clang!"
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao drew their swords at the same time.
Xu Qi'an, who had just regained his sight, asked, "What happened?"
Song Tingfeng said in a deep voice, "The red light is a warning to us. It's usually used during a search and arrest. Maybe one of the night watchmen found a suspicious person, but he escaped … Looking at the distance of the red light, he's very close to us. "
"Ning Yan, your eyes haven't recovered yet. You're in charge of patrolling the streets. Guangxiao, let's go up to the roof and keep a lookout. "
The two of them used their lightness kungfu and jumped to the top of the building, each heading in a different direction.
The three of them were responsible for patrolling a large area. In such a situation, they could only search separately.
After watching his two colleagues leave, Xu Qi'an unsheathed his saber and his crossbow. Then, he tightened the gong on his chest, as well as the Heart Protection Mirror inside.
He usually did not use the Bone-corroding Poison and did not smear it on his blade. He was afraid that one day he would lose his mind and lick it.
Xu Qi'an vigilantly patrolled for a while and saw an unfamiliar copper gong flying over. The copper gong stopped on the roof and said in a deep voice,
"Where are the other two?"
Xu Qi'an said, "They acted separately. What happened?"
The copper gong said, "Count Pingyuan was killed, and the two colleagues in charge of the area were injured. The thief escaped with a secret technique and temporarily disappeared."
Count Pingyuan … the Count was killed?!
Xu Qi'an was taken aback. Someone dared to kill the Count in the inner city. His first reaction was not anger, but numbness in his scalp.
Although the power of the nobles in the Daibun court had declined, the Count was still the Count, and there must be masters in his mansion.
But the murderer could kill the Count, injure the night watchman, and leave calmly. He was not an ordinary master.
There was no doubt that once they met, Xu Qi'an felt that he was in danger.
After the copper gong finished speaking, he flew away quickly, probably to inform the guards at the city gate.
Damn it … My eyes haven't fully recovered, everything is blurry … But with my luck, I shouldn't run into them … Xu Qi'an secretly prayed that he wouldn't run into the murderer.
At this time, he felt a message from the Earth Book fragment. After blood recognition, he had an inexplicable connection with the Earth Book.
Which guy didn't sleep in the middle of the night?
While he was confused, he took out the jade mirror and saw a line of text appearing on the mirror:
[Six: Everyone, I'm in trouble in the capital, can you help me?]
After a few minutes, the Jinlian Taoist priest popped up: [Nine: What kind of trouble are you in?]
[Six: I'm trapped in the inner city, facing the night watchman's search. In an hour at most, the Celestial Commissioner's warlock will arrive, and I won't be able to escape.]
Xu Qi'an:???
No way …
He immediately thought of the murder of Count Pingyuan. Number Six is the murderer?
He didn't speak for a while. The Jinlian Taoist priest seemed to feel that the situation was tricky and couldn't come up with a solution for the time being.
[Two: Try to break through by force?]
[Six: No, it's too far from the city gate. There are night watchmen and Imperial Blade Guards patrolling along the way. Moreover, there's still the outer city beyond the inner city.]
[Two: Do you have any aura-concealing artifacts on you?]
[Six: No.]
[Nine: I do have one, but I can't send it to you.]
[Six: Don't worry, Taoist priest. If I can't escape, I'll leave the Earth Book where it is. You can just follow its aura tomorrow.]
In the capital, especially the inner city, it was almost impossible to escape the night watchman's search.
[Two: Damn bald donkey, don't say such depressing words.]
At this time, a new character appeared.
[Four: I'm friends with the Taoist leader of Renzong … But the Spirit Treasure Palace is in the imperial city, I can't help you.]
[Two: Isn't that the same as not saying anything?]
[Four is friends with the female Grand Preceptor … The Jinlian Taoist priest didn't lie. The holders of the Earth Book were not ordinary people.
Number Two called Six a bald donkey, while Number Four called Six a monk. Was Number Six a Buddhist?
Xu Qi'an watched the screen silently.
At the same time, he saw the cohesiveness of the Heaven & Earth Society. The holders of the Earth Book might be on guard against their own identity being exposed, but there was indeed a gang of followers.
[Two: Bald donkey, go ask Number One, he's from the capital.]
Number One was probably watching the screen again. When he saw Number Two bring him up, he no longer remained silent. [One: What did you do?]
[Six: I killed Count Pingyuan.]
'It's him, he's the murderer tonight!
'Number Six admitted it so quickly, he's too honest … That day when I asked him if he's from the Heaven & Earth Society, he admitted it without hesitation … Monks don't lie?
'But monks don't commit the sin of killing. Why did you sneak into Count Pingyuan's house in the middle of the night and kill him?'
Xu Qi'an cursed in his heart.
The Earth Book group was silent for a long time.
He was probably shocked by Lu Hao's actions.
After a long time, Number One replied: [One: Sorry, I can't help you.]
[Nine: Number One, we're both from the Heaven & Earth Society, help if you can. I believe that Lu won't kill for no reason.]
Did the Jinlian Taoist priest mean that he thought Number One had the ability to help Number Six? Even with the night watchman and the Imperial Blade Guards blocking the way, and the Celestial Commissioner's warlock about to appear, did he still think Number One could help Number Six?
Hmm, the Jinlian Taoist priest is the only one who knows everyone's identity … Number One's status might be higher than I expected.
Xu Qi'an made a judgment.
The response to the Jinlian Taoist priest was silence. Number One's attitude was very firm, he wouldn't help.
Xu Qi'an thought about it. "Number Six killed Count Pingyuan, so Number One isn't willing to help Number Six."
"Number Two is a warm-hearted person, at least on the surface. Number Six is a Buddhist, very honest, and doesn't lie. Number Four is friends with Taoist leader Renzong, but his identity is unknown. Number Nine is the Jinlian Taoist priest, and Number One is from the imperial court. He likes to spy on the news and has a very high status … This Werewolf Killer is quite interesting. "
"I'll also show off … No, show my divinity." Xu Qi'an used his finger as a pen and typed in the information:
"Number Six, I can consider helping you, but I need to know why you killed Count Pingyuan. Hehe, you can refuse my kindness, but don't lie. "
