Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. The previously impartial sheriff had turned into a cold-blooded, perverted demon in an instant.
Lin Mengya could roughly guess what this person was thinking.
In his heart, Immortal City would never allow anyone to invade or desecrate it.
The reason why there was no one in the prison was because he felt that anyone who violated the rules of Immortal City should use blood to wash away their sins.
For some unknown reason, they had violated the perverted laws set by this demon, so they were thrown here to be slaughtered, violated, and suspected each other. In the end, it was very likely that they would kill each other.
When all of them were dead, this pervert would definitely kill the last person.
In this way, all the sinners would disappear and naturally no one would desecrate Immortal City.
The sheriff looked at them coldly and left with a smirk.
The atmosphere suddenly became stiff. Everyone had their own thoughts and silently returned to their respective rooms.
After a while, he heard the commotion in the courtyard again.
Cai Ru went out to inquire. It turned out that someone was unwilling to die here and wanted to rush out with his companions.
At this time, the city guards who had been polite finally showed their ferocious faces.
In the end, the conflict ended with three people being seriously injured.
Watching the injured being carried back to their rooms, everyone finally understood that they were probably doomed this time.
Fear pressed down on their hearts and made it hard for them to breathe. After seeing no hope, the malice hidden deep in their hearts spread.
They all believed the sheriff's words and wanted to find the real murderer to seek a way out.
Suspicion became the poison that caused them to fall apart and turn against each other.
Even though Lin Mengya and the others had been in the house, Cai Ru couldn't help but worry when she heard the chaos outside.
"Master, why don't we kill our way out?"
Lin Mengya shook her head.
Although she was already clear about the purpose of the sheriff now, he just wanted to play a game of cat and mouse with them.
But there was one thing that she was still puzzled about.
That was, he said that everyone here came with their own purpose.
Now, Boss Yang hadn't appeared yet. Although it was a mess, it was also because of this that it was clearer who was partners and who was enemies among them.
The noise outside only dissipated when night fell.
At this time, everyone was hiding in their houses, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Under the candlelight, she slowly drank the tea in the cup.
But outside the window came the sound of footsteps.
With her back to the window, Lin Mengya glanced down from the corner of her eyes, and then continued to drink her tea calmly.
A small hole was poked in the window, and a blood-red eye stood motionlessly outside the window, peeping at everything inside.
Lin Mengya was waiting. She guessed that the murderer would come to kill her tonight.
Because of the sheriff's exposure, the other party no longer had to endure his true intentions.
And she was the target that the other party had been trying to get rid of.
The darkness of the night was like ink that dyed the entire sky.
Finally, the person who had almost fused with the darkness suddenly moved.
"Bang!" The door was forcefully pushed open.
She almost didn't have time to look at the person who came, that body like a nightingale.
The figure appeared in front of her like a ghost.
"Bang —"
Two palms collided, and the internal force surged. Both of them stepped back.
However, one of them almost fell, while the other held onto her waist and brought her to a safe place.
Lin Mengya was delighted. It was really him!
"Wait for me."
After saying these two words in a hurry, the person chased the murderer who tried to hurt her out of the courtyard.
However, there was not the slightest bit of panic on her face. Instead, there was only a sweet smile.
She knew that Yu would definitely understand her hint!
"Master!"
Cai Ru arrived late. As soon as she entered the room, she saw the broken table and chairs.
He hurriedly walked over, checked his master from head to toe, and put down his worried heart.
"You're so bold."
She did not say the rest of her words.
After all, not everyone had the courage to put their lives on the line to prove their speculation.
She smiled, shook her head, and slowly sat on the bed.
"I've long guessed that Yu would appear. Otherwise, why do you think someone died last night?"
Cai Ru could not understand why her master was so confident. She could not help but ask, "Could it be that His Highness killed that person last night?"
She shook her head. "It doesn't seem like it. Yu has his own pride. Even if he wanted to kill someone, he would not imitate other people's killing methods. So I think he must have secretly changed something, so that the dead person became that person. "
Now she was sure that the skinny man who made things difficult for her last night, the kind-looking young man, and the person who died last night were in cahoots.
This group of people had dug three feet into the backyard, and no one knew what they were looking for.
Naturally, the killers had their own companions. This group of people hid in the dark for their own purposes.
The rest of them were like her, people with unknown motives.
There might be some overlap between the first two, but the person who died last night was likely to cause a break in their ranks.
Today, when Yu suddenly appeared, not only did the killer fail, but he was likely to be killed, his companions would definitely give themselves away.
Let's see what would happen tomorrow.
The servants helped her to pile the broken things in the yard.
Lying on the bed, Lin Mengya's mind was full of Long Tianhao.
She knew that Yu would be able to understand.
Because he used to tease her about the names of her four maidservants. It would be better to call them the masters of Bai Village.
He also mentioned that the names of the four maidservants were not only medicinal herbs, but could also be used as spices in meals.
These were all private conversations between the husband and wife. Apart from the two of them, no one else would know about it.
Therefore, she thought that if it was Yu, he would be able to understand her hint.
Sure enough, on the second day after she was trapped in the inn, she sensed the traces of that person.
She could not help but feel happy that their hearts were connected.
All the disputes seemed to be gone with his arrival.
Finally, she found him!
Finally, she could put down the heavy stone in her heart and slept soundly, which was rare for her.
She woke up when the sun was high up in the sky.
At this moment, Cai Ru was dealing with a group of people who came to inquire about her.
"Cai Ru, what's going on?"
Cai Ru heard that she was awake and immediately reported, "Master, the people outside are sent by the families to inquire about our situation. I told them that nothing happened to our family, but they didn't believe me."
It seemed that Yu had succeeded last night, so there was no casualty last night.
She dressed up a little and walked out with her servants.
The sheriff had also arrived late, but today, there was real displeasure in his eyes.
"I'm here today to listen to your judgment on the murderer. If it's not good, I can only do things according to the rules. "
Obviously, no one died last night. For the sheriff, this was not the result he wanted to see.
Lin Mengya felt refreshed and was not afraid to confront him.
She said immediately, "I don't know who the murderer is, but I want to know which rule you want to follow."
The sheriff looked at her coldly, "It's not your place to interfere in my affairs."
"Of course it's not my place, but don't forget one thing, Mr. Sheriff. You want to execute us for the crime of blasphemy, but we all have families and identities behind us. Our families naturally dare not openly go against the Holy Temple and the Holy City, but you can't represent the whole Holy City, can you? "
Hearing this, the sheriff smiled disdainfully.
"I'm the Holy City! Everything here is under my control. Besides, I didn't kill you. "
He revealed the most cunning truth, word by word.
"You were all killed by a murderer. As for me, I will personally apprehend this criminal who dared to commit the crime of murder in the Sacred City. In the end, I only executed a criminal who deserved it. The rest of you were just unlucky. What does it have to do with me? "
Everyone who heard the sheriff's words felt a chill in their hearts.
This was how he killed those who he thought were guilty.
How vicious was this person's heart?
Lin Mengya was not in a hurry, but asked, "Oh? It seems that it's not the first time you've done this. "
The sheriff looked at her with a cold smile and said arrogantly.
"How dare a sinner like you question me? You're not a spice merchant at all. You're just like them. You're here for the 'grace of God'. Heh, do you think sinners like you can receive God's gift? "
"The grace of God"?
She was sure that she had never heard of it before.
The sheriff's line of sight also shifted to the spot behind her.
"You all think that the grace of God is in the backyard of this small guest house, so you kill each other and try to get those things that don't belong to you. Ha, it's a pity that you sinners won't understand until you die that the grace of God will only be given to his most loyal believers. That person is me! "
Excessive narcissism and arrogance would always give people the illusion that he was a god who could control everything.
Obviously, the sheriff belonged to this category, and he was especially sinister and cunning.
The expressions of the people around changed. Obviously, the sheriff was right, at least half of it.
At the very least, these people were probably there for the so-called grace.
Lin Mengya immediately cursed in her heart. This was really an undeserved disaster.
How could she have expected that she would actually be assigned to such a disaster-ridden guest house this time?
Or could it be that she had unintentionally done something that caused her to bring about this disaster?
