"Open the door." Dong Qi composed herself and commanded like a young mistress.
The two of them quickly unlocked the door. After the three of them entered, they closed the door.
"Phew … I've finally completed my mission after guarding such a valuable toy." One of them couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"This Holy Fame Plaza is getting more and more sinister. I don't know what's going on, but I feel uncomfortable every time I come in," the other complained. "If I want to work here again, I won't come back even if you beat me to death. What if I encounter something unclean … "
"Ptui ptui ptui! Can you f * cking keep your mouth shut? Such unlucky words might really attract something unclean! "
"That's true, that's true." The other man quickly slapped his own mouth.
Lu Sheng and the other two entered the room and quickly walked behind the bronze pedestal of the glass mirror.
Xu Chui took out a piece of yellow paper. On it were the three characters that they had copied in the standard font. Lu Sheng took it and compared it.
He carefully touched the scratches on the back of the mirror, carefully distinguishing them.
The three characters in the standard font were neat and well-proportioned. While the three characters on the back of the mirror could also be clearly recognized as the same characters, they were written in a crooked and twisted manner, as if the writer was not very familiar with them. It was like the handwriting of a child who did not know how to hold a pen.
"Count to ten …" Lu Sheng carefully touched the scratches. They were deep and vicious. "If they were really made by a child, then such deep scratches … under what circumstances would a child need to use a small knife to make such deep scratches?"
He muttered to himself in a low voice, as if he was asking the other two.
Xu Chui hesitated.
"Copper isn't too hard. If a child used a sharp knife, it would depend on the child's age …"
"What about a seven or eight year old girl?" Dong Qi suddenly interrupted.
"If it was a seven or eight year old girl … she would probably have to use all her strength to make such a handwriting …" Xu Chui shook his head. He looked at Dong Qi again. Her forehead was already beaded with sweat, and her expression was extremely ugly. It was obvious that she was frightened.
Lu Sheng straightened his back, feeling that he hadn't found any clues today. He looked up at the sky and realized that it was getting late. Then, he glanced at Dong Qi, who seemed to be in a very difficult situation.
"That's all for today. Rest early. Tomorrow morning, we'll go take a look at Gang Leader's remains and see if we can find any problems. Also, if the higher-ups of Tea Sect still come to look at the mirror at night, Miss Dong Qi, if you see them, you must remember to call us. "
"Yes! Thank you, Your Excellency! "Dong Qi nodded vigorously.
"Go rest. You don't look well," Lu Sheng said lightly. "If you notice anything unusual at night, come and find us immediately."
"Yes. Thank you, thank you, Emissary. The guest rooms have also been prepared. I'll get someone to bring you there, "Dong Qi said gratefully.
Everyone returned to their rooms to rest. Lu Sheng finished his meal and meditated in his room to practice his internal energy. Unknowingly, he felt sleepy, so he covered himself with the quilt and slowly fell asleep.
His sleep was different from that of ordinary people. Even if he fell asleep, he would be jolted awake by the slightest movement.
He hadn't intended to sleep at first. Although he had hard body skills and the automatic protection of his inner Qi, it was still easy for him to lose his vigilance. Therefore, when he went out on errands like this, he would mostly meditate instead of sleep.
But this time, the sleepiness came. He couldn't suppress it no matter what, so he slowly fell asleep.
…
In the middle of the night, Lu Sheng seemed to hear something in his daze.
He slowly opened his eyes on the bed. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard faint noises coming from the window.
Lu Sheng exhaled and raised his eyes to look out the window.
The curtains were drawn on the windowsill, and moonlight shone in from outside.
There was a small head at the window. It was jumping, trying to see through the curtains.
"What's that?" Lu Sheng straightened up and looked at the window carefully.
The curtains clearly reflected the dark shadow of a little girl. It was jumping, as if she was standing outside the window, trying to jump up and see what was in the bedroom.
"Who is it?" Lu Sheng asked.
The little girl stopped moving. She stood outside the curtains, quietly looking in Lu Sheng's direction.
"If you want to come in, you can knock on the door." Lu Sheng got off the bed, stood up, and walked toward the window.
The child's shadow outside the curtains still did not move.
"Swish!"
He pulled the curtains aside. There was no one outside the window. There was no one in the courtyard outside, not even a guard on night duty. It was empty, desolate, and desolate.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked left and right. He snorted and pulled the curtains back again.
…
Dong Qi remembered Lu Sheng's instructions. She lay on the bed with her clothes on. She planned to go out in the middle of the night to see if those people would come again. But she gradually fell asleep.
It was strange. She was still energetic, but the moment she touched the bed, it was as if she was hypnotized. Drowsiness surged, wave after wave. She fell asleep after a while.
"I'll count to ten ~ ~ ~"
"One …"
"Two …"
"Three …"
"Four …"
In her daze, Dong Qi seemed to hear someone calling out beside her.
It was a girl, and she was very young.
She forced her eyes open and looked toward the bedside. She could vaguely see a little girl in blue standing by the bedside and looking at her.
Her face was very white, and her eye sockets were very dark. Her long hair was also very black.
"Five …"
"Six …"
"Whoosh!!"
Dong Qi abruptly sat up from the bed, gasping for breath, cold sweat all over her body.
She looked at the bedside. There was no one. There was nothing.
"I … I …!!" Her heart was beating very fast, like a drum. Her face was also very pale.
"Pa."
All of a sudden, a crisp sound came from the window.
Dong Qi hurriedly looked in that direction. What she saw shocked her.
"I closed the window before I went to sleep. How could …"
The window had been opened at some point. In front of the window, faint moonlight shone in through the curtains. It was cold and lonely.
"Pa."
Another crisp sound rang out.
Dong Qi was stunned. She looked carefully at the window.
There seemed to be a short, long-haired little girl standing outside the curtains. The girl's shadow was reflected on the curtains by the moonlight.
She stood outside the window sill and jumped again and again, as if she wanted to jump up and see what was in the bedroom.
"Who …?!" Dong Qi felt that her voice was trembling.
"Pa."
The child's shadow jumped again, as if she did not hear her voice at all.
Dong Qi's hair stood on end. She slowly began to tremble. She curled up in the blanket and did not dare to move. And the child's shadow outside the window was also jumping continuously.
"Pa."
"Pa."
"Pa."
With each jump, the little girl seemed to jump higher and higher. At first, only half of her forehead could be seen. Then, she could slowly jump more than half of her head. Finally, her entire head could be seen and reflected on the curtains.
Dong Qi covered her mouth with the blanket. Her whole body was curled up at the foot of the bed. Her face was pale and her body was trembling. She did not dare to look at the movement outside the window at all.
Pa.
Pa.
Pa.
Pa …
Suddenly, the sound stopped.
Dong Qi closed her eyes. She was so scared that her hair stood on end. Suddenly, there was no sound. She hurriedly pricked up her ears to listen, but she could not hear anything.
She quietly opened her eyes and looked at the window.
What she saw scared her out of her wits. The curtains at the window had been completely pulled open. There was nothing there. The window was also opened. It seemed that something had come in.
It came in!! That thing … came in!!!
Dong Qi's face turned pale. Her heart felt like it was pressed by a huge rock. She could not breathe. She tried to breathe and wanted to scream, but her throat seemed to be blocked. Nothing came out.
Suddenly, she saw the corner of a blue robe peeking out from the curtains beside the bed.
"Help … Help …!" She struggled to make a sound.
"Get out!!"
Suddenly, there was a fierce roar.
"Boom!!"
The door exploded into countless pieces in the blink of an eye. A faint red figure suddenly barged in. It was Lu Sheng.
He raised his saber, and his body was covered in scorching hot inner Qi. He strode through the door.
He slashed at the end of the bed.
"Whoosh!!"
The saber shone brightly, but it missed. There was a sharp whistling sound.
Lu Sheng's eyes were cold. He stopped his saber. His upper body was bare. His twisted muscles were covered in faint red and black patterns, like tattoos.
Ever since the little girl left his room, he had chased after her. He did not expect to run into Dong Qi's room.
When he saw the little girl jump into the room, he did not say anything. He slashed at the door with his saber.
The ghost this time seemed to be extremely cunning. It was not easy to catch. If he did not hurry up and chase after it, he was afraid that it would slip away again.
"Didn't you want to play games? Come, let big brother play with you." Lu Sheng tried to put on a gentle smile, but it still looked unusually fierce.
As soon as he entered, he looked around, trying to find the figure of the little girl from before.
The bed was empty. There was no one in front of it. Lu Sheng was not surprised. He did not even look at Dong Qi, who was panting after being rescued. Instead, he scanned the entire room, turned around, and ran to the study where the liuli glass was kept.
With a bang, he kicked open the door of the study.
In the pitch-black room, there was a blue figure standing in the liuli glass that was taller than a person.
Lu Sheng walked into the room and strode toward the liuli glass.
"Puff.
Puff.
Puff. "
He walked faster and faster. In a few steps, he was in front of the mirror.
"If you can take one of my sabers, I'll stop playing games with you!!"
"Whoosh!"
He growled and held the saber with both hands. In an instant, a silver-white saber light suddenly lit up in the night. It was like the wind, like the moonlight, but also like a huge meteorite falling from the sky.
The saber, which was as large as a door, stirred up a storm in the study.
"Bang!!!"
A hand suddenly reached out from the mirror, steadily blocking the blade of the huge saber.
Lu Sheng's eyes widened. A line of blood suddenly rushed from his lower abdomen to the center of his eyebrows. The muscles all over his body suddenly swelled. Like a balloon, large pieces of tumor-like muscles swelled and squeezed out. His whole body swelled into a giant of more than two meters.
Holding the saber with both hands, Lu Sheng faced the mirror and suddenly pressed it down. The huge saber in his hand was about the same as an ordinary knife, but it was so heavy that when he swung it, it was like swinging a sledgehammer.
The huge wind pressure and strength directly blew the books and papers in the study away.
"Changing the Heavens in Seven Days, Spirit Slaughter!!"
Boom!!
The saber blade once again hit the arm in the mirror, making a loud noise. The arm broke on the spot with a crack, and the mirror shattered with a bang. The entire mirror base, which weighed more than a hundred kilograms, flew into the air and hit the wall behind it hard.
A large amount of hot Inner Qi poured into the mirror base, and a blue figure was immediately smashed out of the mirror. It screamed in mid-air and tried to escape.
But it was immediately chased by Lu Sheng in the air with his saber.
Puff!
The figure completely exploded and disappeared without a trace.
