Chapter 211 Hawker【Ask for a monthly pass! 】
There is a curfew in Yanbo City. After nightfall, no one is allowed to walk around at will in the city, except for Chunlaifang. Because the whole street here is full of romantic places like brothels, it is also called Flower Street.
Speaking of it, it seems that every city has its own flower street.
And Chu Liang has been to the local flower street almost everywhere, which is a bit strange to think about...
"I'm a person who has escaped from low-level interests, so you don't have to look at me like that." He said helplessly.
After he asked about the location of Huajie and led the team over, Lin Bei and Shang Ziliang looked at him with very subtle eyes.
That look seems to be saying... I can't imagine that your handsome boy is also such a person.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes." After hearing Chu Liang's words, Shang Ziliang nodded again and again, "Although we go to brothels, we must go there with a critical eye."
Lin Bei also nodded and said: "That's right, the whole street here is full of poor women in scantily clad clothes. Let's pay for the relief!"
"..." Chu Liang was speechless for a while, and hurriedly said: "We are here to deal with business, put away your dirty faces."
As he spoke, he walked straight into a brothel with the largest frontage.
Due to the recent heart-cutting case, very few people come out at night, and the business in the brothel is very deserted. So when the good girl at the door saw them, she was very enthusiastic immediately, and welcomed the three of them in.
Chu Liang quickly waved his hand to refuse, found a table, ordered some fruit plate snacks, and the three of them sat down temporarily.
After calming down, Lin Bei said: "You really speak the most decent words and walk extremely fast under your feet. I usually have to hesitate when I enter the brothel, for fear that acquaintances will see it. You don't betray anyone at all."
"It's my first time here, my father never let me come to this kind of place before." Shang Ziliang looked around with excitement in his eyes, "Brother, I'll be with you forever!"
"Don't talk about that yet." Chu Liang lowered his voice and called the two of them closer together, "I really came here to track down Moxiu."
"Okay, there are no outsiders here." Lin Bei smiled.
"I have been checking the files all afternoon, and found that although the places where these victims were killed are all over the city, the time is basically at midnight. Yanbo City has a curfew at this time, and usually no one will walk around outside." Chu Liang explained, "The passers-by who walk alone outside should have a special identity at most."
"Literati!" Lin Bei immediately answered.
"That's right, because the brothels here charge extra expensive fees for staying overnight, and many people don't need to stay that long..." Chu Liang continued.
Lin Bei murmured when he heard the words: "If it were me, I would definitely not die. I won't leave until dawn."
"Me too." Shang Ziliang said hurriedly.
"Cough." Chu Liang coughed, interrupting their digression.
"So they will go home at night?" Shang Ziliang quickly withdrew his thoughts and asked.
"Yes, although there are patrols by curfew soldiers, experienced literati can escape. I just asked the soldiers defending the city. Even if they are caught, if they do not commit a crime, they are usually fined some money." Chu Liang said : "And this kind of person naturally becomes the best target for demon cultivators."
"It's too hateful for this demon!" Lin Bei said angrily.
Empathized fiercely.
"He is targeting the literati returning home, and he will definitely not patrol the city to find them, so this flower street must be his starting point." Chu Liang said in a deep voice, "Maybe he is just like us, waiting here at this moment. As night falls."
Lin Bei and Shang Ziliang became tense when they heard this, and their breathing became a little heavy.
…
Li Si stood in the middle of the long street, supporting a stall of beef offal, and the pot in front of him was boiling. He was so small and thin that no one passing by would notice him.
and the dark glint in his eyes.
No one would have imagined that such an honest-looking peddler would turn out to be a heart-wrenching demon who killed seven people in a row.
Even Li Si himself couldn't think of it.
He had lived a simple life for the past thirty years, with a loose hut outside the city, and a thick and fierce wife. Every evening, I push the cart into the city and sell snacks in Huajie. When the sky is bright, I rush home with the cart and sleep during the day.
Looking at the bustling and corrupting place here every day, his heart remains unmoved. He just feels that these gorgeous girls, the well-dressed nobles and himself are two worlds, very close but far away.
Until that day ten years ago.
At that time, there were thunderstorms and the sky was as black as ink. On the way home with his cart, he found a cave to shelter from the rain, and accidentally fell into a big river.
It wasn't the first time he took shelter from the rain in this cave, and he didn't know when there was such a cold river in the cave. He was washed away by the river, and when he got up again, he arrived at a strange place.
It's cold and deep here, with bones everywhere, like hell.
He picked up a book here, which actually recorded some methods of cultivation. These are cultivation methods! And it doesn't seem to require too high aptitude, everyone can practice.
Li Si never dared to think that he would have such an opportunity?
Is God coming to save my humble life?
It's just that this technique is very evil, and if you get started, you will kill a living person. Li Si's heart was pounding when he saw it, and he thought that this was probably the legendary magic technique, and it should not be discovered by others.
When he raised his head again, he found that the thunderstorm had stopped. Where was the river before and after? I am in the tomb of a barren hill.
Only the booklet is still in hand.
When he got home, he was beaten and scolded by his wife because he lost his car. Li Sixu's anger started from his heart, and his evil turned to his guts. He directly killed his wife and made him a stepping stone to practice.
Thus embarked on the road of cultivation.
Mo Dao's skills enter the country very quickly, and don't need any resources, just keep killing. In the process, Li Si's heart seemed to be changed to become more and more distorted and crazy.
He had hardly been angry in the past few decades, but since he got this exercise, he began to hate, hated ugly wives, hated those dignitaries, hated those literati, hated those good girls, hated his own humbleness... this It may not be given to him by the exercises, but the seeds that originally existed in his heart. In the previous decades, he hadn't realized that he hated these glamorous people so much.
And now, he has power.
also has anger.
It took him ten years to cultivate to the point of alchemy. In these ten years, he killed many people one after another in order to practice, but they were all in the village outside the city, and the interval was relatively long, and no one had been found yet. Some were not even discovered.
He gradually gained pleasure from killing.
But it also aroused some vigilance. Now many people have moved out of his village, and the ones left dare not travel alone.
That's why he set the goal of this alchemy in the city, on these people he has always hated.
Because he did it carefully, he has not been discovered so far. But he didn't have a magic weapon for storage, and the human heart dug out before could only be preserved like pork, and it couldn't be stored for a long time.
He has to hurry up.
There are two more, just kill two more people, and you will have a chance to form alchemy, and then leave Yanbo City to venture into the world.
Li Si's eyes were gloomy and cold, staring at the two figures in front of him, a rich man with a big belly and a servant in a green coat and a small cap, who were leaving here in a carriage by the servant.
Li Si said silently in his heart...
After completing this vote, you can stop.
Good morning.
