It was raining cats and dogs, so few people came out.
Almost everyone was hiding in their rooms, enjoying the rare leisure.
Holding a brown oil-paper umbrella, Lin Mengya looked around the palace.
From time to time, she closed her eyes, as if she was thinking about something. Then, she went back and forth in the palace.
The location recorded on the map seemed to be nearby.
Lin Mengya looked around and found that she was at the deepest part of the palace.
Usually, there were not many people here. Moreover, the place she was going to was not a place that ordinary people could find.
The heavy rain washed away all the smell left in the air, and also made people lose their five senses.
However, all of this did not affect her in the slightest.
The Shen Nung system worked quickly. After making sure that there was no suspicious person around, Lin Mengya stepped into an inconspicuous palace garden.
Originally, she had planned to eliminate all the suspicious forces in the palace before coming here.
But it happened so suddenly. In order to save her father and brother, she had to take the risk.
After making sure that there was no suspicious person behind her, Lin Mengya flashed into the dilapidated palace alone.
She did not expect that there was such a dilapidated place in the palace.
The palace had been in disrepair for a long time, and the ground was full of sundries. Lin Mengya put away the umbrella and struggled to move forward in the palace.
The most detailed information on the map in the jade box was the location of this courtyard.
But it seemed that it would take some effort to find her final destination.
Apart from this place, there was indeed no other place around.
The lonely courtyard should have been deserted a long time ago.
But the strange thing was that almost all the other palace gardens, including the place chosen by Wanyan Jing as the meeting point, were maintained regularly, and would not be in such a state.
Behind her, her hearing was much sharper than that of ordinary people, and she heard a small sound.
Lin Mengya looked around and immediately hid behind a broken table. Fortunately, it was very dark here, and it was raining outside, so it should not be easy for others to notice her.
Just when she was done hiding, a few figures walked in from outside.
It seemed that she was not the only one who could sense the abnormality here.
The people who came in were all wearing straw raincoats and wide bamboo hats.
He couldn't see their faces clearly, and he couldn't tell their personalities.
However, these four people seemed to have a tacit understanding. They moved almost at the same time and found a certain corner of the hall.
Lin Mengya squatted there and looked at the four people who seemed to occupy the four corners of a square.
But in the next second, she was stunned by the actions of those people.
The four of them revealed their snow-white wrists at almost the same time, even though the other parts of their bodies were still covered by their raincoats and bamboo hats, making it hard to tell.
But those hands were definitely slender and white, belonging to a woman.
The owner of the four hands pulled out a steel saber that was about a foot long from his straw cape.
With a swoosh, the four of them chopped off their left hands at the same time.
Lin Mengya covered her mouth tightly. All of this was too ridiculous!
Most people would not be able to endure the pain of having their wrist broken.
However, the four of them did not seem to feel anything. They allowed the blood from their severed wrists to flow quickly to the ground.
Just when she was hesitating whether to go out or not.
All of a sudden, a fine net spread out on the ground. The blood, mixed with the rainwater, was like a brush, sketching a very shallow mark on the ground.
Lin Mengya was a little afraid that those strange lines would spread to her feet, so she immediately stepped back to hide.
Fortunately, although the thin lines were messy, they stopped at a distance of more than a meter in front of her.
Lin Mengya sucked in a breath of cold air. When she raised her head to look at the four people again, she saw that the four people in woven rush raincoats, who were almost drained of blood, lined up and walked out of the palace in a line.
"Boom!" Lin Mengya finally woke up from her stupor.
If it wasn't for the strong smell of blood in the room, she would have thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her.
Lin Mengya waited cautiously for a while. She estimated that those people had left, and then she stood up from her hiding place.
The strange and disorderly blood-red line on the ground was gradually fading.
It should be sinking rapidly. Lin Mengya did not have time to take a closer look, but quickly recorded it with the Shen Nung system.
About half an hour after those people left, the thin line gradually disappeared.
Lin Mengya sniffed hard. In the air, apart from the damp and moldy smell of the water, there was no smell of blood at all.
This was the first time that she had seen such a strange and terrifying thing.
She could not help but associate it with the Candle Dragon.
Apart from this secret organization, it was hard to think of anyone else who would use such an extremely perverted method to cause trouble.
She stepped hard on the ground, only to find that the ground was actually solid.
She squatted down to take a closer look at the cracks. She touched them with her hands, and was shocked to find that the cracks were very shallow, so no one would notice it.
But just now …
Everything was like a mystery, tightly grasping Lin Mengya's heart.
The heavy rain outside had gradually subsided. Lin Mengya also knew that her adventure might have come to an end.
She looked at the four broken hands, which were all slender and white, and only one of them wore a delicate ring.
Lin Mengya just squatted down to take a few glances, and then left in a hurry.
If it was done by the Candle Dragon Cult, these broken hands must have been dealt with by someone.
If she took anything away at will, it would only arouse suspicion.
She took her paper umbrella and left in a hurry. The roaring thunder was her best cover.
Everything she had seen today was even colder than the cold rain. It made her feel a chill in her heart.
It seemed that she had to make some changes to her plan.
Behind her, the lonely palace stood there, like a huge evil beast.
Lin Mengya looked at it with a complicated expression, and finally chose to forget this gloomy and horrible place for the time being.
But one day, she would make public all the evil that had taken place there.
That perverted organization that had almost destroyed her life, she would definitely uproot it!
The rain gradually subsided, and the thunder slowly faded.
Gradually, there were people around. Lin Mengya slowed down her steps, and looked gentle.
No one could tell what she had just experienced.
From time to time, servants with paper umbrellas came over to greet her.
Lin Mengya responded to them one by one, and then lifted the hem of her dress and returned to Phoenix Wing Garden.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Baisu with a worried face.
Baisu must be worried, because when she saw Lin Mengya coming in, she ran over and grabbed Lin Mengya's wrist.
"My lady, where have you been? It's raining and thundering outside. What if you catch a cold? "
Baisu's anxious look made Lin Mengya feel a little sorry.
She always made people around worry, and thanks to them, Lin Mengya could be so brave.
"Nothing, it's too stuffy in the room on a rainy day, so I went out for a walk. You know, it's really a different feeling to admire flowers in the rain. Although the storm destroyed countless flowers, there are delicate flowers that are not afraid of the wind and rain. That's why I came back a little late. "
These words were not only for Baisu, but also for the people around.
After all, many people had seen her going out in the rain.
If they were to associate it with that incident, they would alert the enemy.
Fortunately, she had chosen a good time. When she came out of the abandoned palace, the storm had destroyed all traces of her.
Moreover, the old palace was in such a mess, and it was impossible for her footsteps to be seen.
After thinking about it, she could only find a reasonable explanation for her behavior.
Fortunately, everyone in Phoenix Wing Garden knew that she was very fond of roses, so before Lin Mengya came back, she specially went to the garden of roses that Xiaoyu had prepared for her.
Her shoes and skirt were stained with mud, and she purposely picked a few surviving roses and brought them back.
In this way, ordinary people would not be able to find any evidence against her.
After all, she had been very careful on the way back, to make sure that no one had seen what happened before she came out of the garden of roses.
Therefore, even if someone came to investigate, she could easily fool them.
It was just that he couldn't go back to that abandoned palace room before he was completely confident.
"Why can't you get rid of this bad habit of yours? Don't forget that the last time you fell sick, you were looking at some flowers in the rain. Servants, bring me some ginger soup and hot water. "
Even Lin Mengya was taken aback by Baisu's quick reaction.
They looked at each other tacitly, and Lin Mengya obediently replied with an "Oh". Then, she followed Baisu to the side hall where she usually stayed.
They did not rush to exchange information, but waited for the palace maids to bring the ginger soup and hot water, before closing the door.
Lin Mengya drank the ginger soup and took off her almost soaked clothes. When her whole body was immersed in the warm water, she could not help but sigh with satisfaction.
"Sigh … this is the best feeling, I feel that my whole body has warmed up."
The cold and wet feeling was quickly chased away by the hot water.
Lin Mengya leaned against the side of the bathtub, closed her eyes, and quietly enjoyed this rare moment.
Baisu personally made a cup of hot tea for Lin Mengya. Although Baisu was good at using poison, she and Baiji still had the good habit of doing these personal things by themselves.
Even the ginger soup was personally made by Baisu, and a trustworthy girl was always watching over it.
This was not only a habit, but also a kind of attitude.
It was a kind of attitude that everyone in Liuxin Courtyard had naturally formed.
No one could hurt Lin Mengya!
Even if she did not need this kind of protection.
"Did you send the things that I gave to Xiaoyu?"
