Zzzt zzzt zzzt!
Three bright red sword lights suddenly lit up and then slowly extinguished.
One by one, the children were shattered into pieces and silently turned into white dust that drifted away.
The darkness was suddenly illuminated by the red light.
Although it was only the red light from the tattoos and the sword lights, it was still very eye-catching in this pitch-black environment.
Fei Bailing was also startled. Her chest thumped, and she couldn't calm down for a while.
Her eyes darted left and right, and she saw the children who were just beside her suddenly disappear one by one. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
"Hiss …"
She took a deep breath and lowered her head, her face drenched in sweat.
She had almost … almost been caught by these children. Fortunately, this mysterious figure smashed through the wall and rushed in.
"Thank you for saving my life." Fei Bailing raised her head and tried to stand up, but her legs were still weak, so she could only sit on the ground.
"You're from this house?" Lu Sheng looked around. There was a strange aura in the air.
It wasn't yin, ghost, or demonic, but something else that he couldn't sense.
"I …" Fei Bailing felt weak all over, but she knew that the person in front of her was very likely to be her last hope. She immediately told Lu Sheng everything she knew.
"So you're saying that the Fei Family has been acting strangely since a while ago?" Lu Sheng frowned.
"Yes … I … I have a friend who's also inside. Can you …" Fei Bailing thought of Inspector Sima Xiu, who was still inside.
"What are you talking about?" Lu Sheng interrupted her. He was very interested in this Fei Family, and he didn't plan on leaving until he understood what was going on.
He couldn't believe that this kind of trouble could appear in this ordinary county city, and it was something he'd never encountered before. He was very interested.
"If you want to go out, you can go out by yourself. I'm going to walk around a bit more." Lu Sheng raised his sword and looked around. "Where are those shadows?"
He ignored Fei Bailing and walked to where the children had been standing. He carefully sensed the surroundings.
"Let's walk around a bit more?" Fei Bailing almost choked on her words. The current Fei Mansion was in a perilous state, yet there were still people who were interested in it, seeking their own death by diving into it.
"I advise you not to stay here for too long. I am Fei Mansion's Third Miss, if it is not for the fact that I cannot stay here any longer, I …"
Suddenly, Lu Sheng raised a finger and put it in front of his mouth, signaling for him to keep quiet.
Fei Bailing paused and looked around, but didn't find anything wrong.
"You …"
Puff!
In an instant, a beam of red light exploded, and more than ten beams of red light split in front of her, shooting towards different corners of the garden.
Lu Sheng, however, took a step forward, wielded his sword with both hands, and slashed at her head with lightning speed.
Chi!!
"Ah!!"
Fei Bailing couldn't help but scream and close her eyes. But after a while, she did not feel any pain. He opened his eyes.
At some point in time, a pair of pale arms were raised horizontally on both sides of her neck.
His arms seemed to want to embrace her, but it was already too late. Red blood marks appeared on his wrists more and more clearly.
Lu Sheng's sword was on the left side of her neck, slicing through her pale arms. There was still a faint trace of blood on the blade.
Fei Bailing panted heavily, her entire body drenched in cold sweat. She sat stiffly in place, not daring to move.
Until Lu Sheng slowly pulled his sword out from beside her head.
Hiss …
The arms on both sides of her neck instantly turned into white dust, scattering all over her body.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Only then did Fei Bailing start to pant heavily, breathing heavily. She bent down absentmindedly, using her hands to support herself. She felt weak all over, and even breathing was difficult.
"This thing … I've never seen it before? This species … "Lu Sheng squatted down and carefully fiddled with the white dust on the ground.
"So this is how the white dust came about …" Realization appeared on his face.
Pa.
Suddenly, the sound of soft footsteps came from afar.
Lu Sheng raised his head, and suddenly saw a blurry figure with long hair standing in the shadows of the corridor. It seemed to be staring at him silently through the darkness.
"Come and kill me if you can, little guy." Lu Sheng raised his hand and lightly drew it across his neck, revealing a sinister smile.
In the dark corridor, the figure with long hair slowly disappeared.
Lu Sheng held his sword, stood up, and looked at Fei Bailing.
"Do you want to come with me, or go on your own?"
"I … will go with you!" Fei Bailing finally realized that he was trying to save her.
Lu Sheng didn't bother with her. Feeling the threads of Mental Energy that flowed into his body, he instantly knew that he came to the right place.
Although this place was a bit smelly, it was definitely a treasure trove for him.
Those hands suddenly appeared behind Fei Bailing. There was only a pair of hands, and nothing else. That was why he easily cut off both hands with a swing of his sword.
He didn't expect to receive more than ten units of Mental Energy out of nowhere.
At first, he just wanted to check and get rid of the stench, but once Mental Energy was involved, Lu Sheng was immediately tempted. This place didn't seem to have been discovered by the city yet, so it was perfect for him to farm Mental Energy.
Crack.
Lightning flashed, illuminating the entire garden with a deathly white light.
Lu Sheng slowly walked into the corridor with Fei Bailing in tow. It was pitch-black on both sides, and there was only a single bedroom on the side. However, the bedroom was also shrouded in a dark mist.
Patter, patter, patter.
The sound of their footsteps echoed in the corridor without any concealment.
"How long did you stay here after the incident?" Lu Sheng asked as he walked.
"About ten days …" Fei Bailing recalled. Even she was surprised.
"Ten days? Then what did you eat and drink here? "Lu Sheng looked at her in surprise.
"What? What did you just say? "Fei Bailing looked at Lu Sheng in shock.
"I said, what did you eat and drink these days?" Lu Sheng repeated.
"I hid in my bedroom and didn't dare to take a step out. Really, I didn't dare to take a step out." Fei Bailing didn't answer his question. "Right, what did you say? I didn't hear you. "
Lu Sheng suddenly stopped. In the darkness, his gaze fell straight on Fei Bailing's face. He had asked twice in a row, and his voice was already very loud, but she still acted as if she didn't hear him.
"Nothing," he said indifferently. "Tell me, when did the Fei Family start to change like this?"
"When …" Fei Bailing fell into deep thought. Yes, when did the entire atmosphere of the Fei Family change? The family members were nervous, checked every time they went in and out, and even cleaned the weapons they didn't use.
The two continued forward.
Suddenly, Fei Bailing saw someone in the window of the side room.
The window was open, and a middle-aged man's smiling face appeared in the darkness. It was pale, but clean.
"Uncle Zhao?! Why … why are you here?! "Fei Bailing trembled.
"Bailing … did you bring a friend home?" the face said slowly.
"Uncle Zhao …" Fei Bailing took a step back. It wasn't normal to run into Uncle Fei Zhao under these circumstances. He just had to show up at this time.
"Bailing … do you want to bring someone here to sit …?"
Whoosh!
A blinding red light flashed in the darkness. The red light flashed past the middle-aged man's body, then split the entire wall of the window in half.
Boom.
A huge pile of rubble collapsed, along with Uncle Zhao's body.
"Ah!"
When Fei Bailing saw the truth, she covered her mouth and took a few steps back. Her expression was one of defeat.
"There are a lot of tricks here." Lu Sheng walked over and looked down at Uncle Zhao, who only had half a body left on the ground.
Uncle Zhao's upper body was directly sewn to the wall by the window with black silk thread. It was almost a part of the wall. His mouth was even opening and closing, and there was a slight cracking sound coming from time to time.
"The corpse was made into a puppet." He recognized the origin of this thing.
Corpse …
When Fei Bailing heard this, her heart sank. When she looked at Uncle Zhao again, the half of his body had already disintegrated into white dust.
"This place …" Lu Sheng pulled out his sword. It looked like he was only using True Qi, but in reality, he was using Devil Essence.
The Yin Fire of the Eight-Headed Divine Pearl spread out the moment the blade hit the man, quickly harvesting some Mental Energy.
The Yin Fire of his Eight-Headed Divine Pearl had the power of a peak Devil King. Even without a secret art, the power of the Yin Fire alone was at the level of a normal Devil King. It wasn't something the strange things here could resist.
"Let's go. We'll go to the core of this place. "He didn't even look at the white dust on the ground, and sped up to the end of the corridor.
The strange Essence Qi smell in the air was getting thicker and thicker.
Although Lu Sheng couldn't find any clues, he couldn't go wrong by following the core of the Essence Qi.
Holding his sword, he quickly brought Fei Bailing to a study.
"This is my father's study." Fei Bailing looked around nervously, afraid that some danger would suddenly appear.
"Do you have the key?" Lu Sheng asked casually.
"… No …" Fei Bailing shook her head.
While they were talking, the door to the study suddenly opened from the inside.
In the darkness, Fei Bailing's father, Fei Shende, stood at the door with a smile.
"Bailing, how did you find the time to come here?"
"Dad!!" Fei Bailing froze for a moment, then became overjoyed. Tears filled her eyes, and she was about to rush up to him.
"Whoosh!!"
However, a large hand suddenly reached out from the side, grabbed Fei Shende's head, and squeezed it lightly.
"Hiss …"
With a sound like paper being squeezed, Fei Shende's entire body actually twisted.
Only then did Fei Bailing see that her so-called dad was actually a life-like full-body portrait.
"Fei Shende" was quickly crumpled into a ball and burned away. Lu Sheng stood to the side. He didn't even look at the screaming paper man on the ground. He strode into the room and looked around.
Soon, he found a small notebook on the desk. It was also something similar to a notebook.
He flipped it open, and there was a lot of real information recorded on it.
"… I failed … I didn't expect to fail in the end. Where did I go wrong? " Many pages had been torn out of the notebook, and only the latest page had a small line of words. The handwriting was messy, and it was obviously written in a hurry.
Lu Sheng tossed the notebook to Fei Bailing behind him and began to wander around.
The books on the shelves were covered in a thick layer of dust. He randomly picked one out. The cover was printed with the words "36 Major Shipwrecks".
Lu Sheng frowned and picked out another book.
"Monsoon and Ocean Current."
He picked out a few more books, all of which were related to ocean navigation.
