I was held captive by demons

And this icy cold breath...

In the situation where all the virtues have been cut off, what kind of existence can leave such a breath?

Kong Ning searched the house inside and out, but did not find any traces, nor any kidnapping letters, ransom letters, or messages on the ashes urn.

The urn really disappeared without a trace.

Kong Ning waited for another hour, but still hadn't received anything, so he didn't plan to wait any longer.

He decided to leave the inn first to see how weird the so-called weird murder was.

There's no point in waiting here.

Leaving the inn with Caiwei, Kong Ning was going to the Yamen.

But as soon as he walked out of the inn, he heard a familiar voice sounding from the side of the street.

"Kong Ning?! Have you come to the capital too?"

The man's voice was extremely pleasantly surprised.

Kong Ning turned his head and saw a familiar face.

Maliu, a former colleague of the Shanlan County Yamen, a senior official in a brothel.

Under the gloomy sky, the pale-faced Ma Liu waved happily to Kong Ning.

Kong Ning was slightly taken aback: "Ma Liu? Why are you here?"

Na Ma Liu ran over quickly, maybe he ran too fast, he just stopped in front of Kong Ning, and coughed quickly while holding his chest.

"I'm coughing...cough coughing..."

After coughing hastily for quite a while, Ma Liu calmed down a little until his pale face flushed red.

He stroked his chest carefully, followed his breath, and finally said: "I'm here to do business in the capital!"

Ma Liu said with a smile all over his face, "Don't you know? Everyone in Shanlan County is dead!"

"I couldn't stay in the Yamen any longer, so I ran to the capital to do business."

"What about you? Why have you come to the capital too?"

Ma Liu smiled and hammered Kong Ning's chest, said: "Aren't you going to be a fairy?"

"Why did you come to the capital?"

"There are ghosts everywhere in the capital, don't you know?"

The pale-faced Ma Liu spoke terrifying words, but with a bright smile on his face: "Let's go! Don't come to the capital."

"You kid must live a good life!"

Chapter 376 Persons

Ma Liu's mouth spoke terrifying words.

Under the gloomy sky, his pale face was as bleak as white paper, without the slightest trace of blood.

But the smile on his face was bright and eager.

Kong Ning looked at him in astonishment, and subconsciously stretched out his hand: "Ma Liu!"

Then the moment he stretched out his hand, Kong Ning caught nothing.

There was nothing in front of him, and there was no figure of Ma Liu.

On the long street, there were people coming and going, and a few passers-by who passed by Kong Ning looked at him curiously and strangely, as if they were looking at a madman.

Caiwei was too frightened to pant loudly.

"Master...Master, you...are you alright?" Caiwei asked cautiously.

Kong Ning stared blankly at the hand grasping Kong, with complicated emotions in his heart.

Was everything that happened just now an illusion?

But Ma Liu's voice and that bright smile are so real.

And what Ma Liu said.

Everyone in Shanlan County died...

Although when he left Shanlan County, Kong Ning had some kind of preparation in his heart, knowing that in such a chaotic world, a small county town with tens of thousands of mortals, once the monsters pay attention to it, any monster with a little sense can kill it all .

But when he heard such sad news with his own ears, Kong Ning still had complicated emotions in his heart.

But didn't the Three Hate Demon Immortal have been to Shanlan County not long ago?

At that time, everything in Shanlan County should be fine, right?

Could it be that when the Three Hatred Demon Immortal went to investigate the origin of Kong Ning, he killed everyone in the city?

But even if the Three Hate Demon Immortals killed all the people in the city, why would Maliu appear in the capital?

Even if he becomes a ghost, he should stay in Shanlan County, right?

The capital is far away from Shanlan County, Shangao Road.

No matter whether it is Ma Liu who is a living person or Ma Liu who is a wandering ghost, he should not appear in the capital...

What's going on in this capital city?

An unspeakable shadow shrouded Kong Ning's heart, making him feel heavy.

He hated the feeling of being kept in the dark.

The entire capital city, just like the weather at this time, is cloudy and closed, with no light from the sky, and there is no bright color between the sky and the earth.

Inexplicably bewitched, inexplicably comatose, and inexplicably recovered.

The mysterious disappearance of the ashes urn, the sudden appearance of Maliu...

A huge shadow enveloped Kong Ning, making him almost breathless.

He stood on the long street, looking at the place where Maliu appeared and disappeared, walking back and forth.

However nothing was found.

Ma Liu's appearance was extremely abrupt.

The disappearance of Ma Liu was also strange and silent.

Everything is like an empty hallucination.

After a long while, Kong Ning left the street, took Caiwei into the dark and deserted alley, and said.

"I saw Maliu just now..."

Kong Ning roughly explained what happened just now.

Caiwei was taken aback, "Master, did you see an old friend from Shanlan County?"

"But no one talked to you at all just now!" Caiwei said: "You just stood there suddenly without saying a word, then suddenly talked to yourself, and suddenly reached out to grab something... But in front of you, really nothing."

Caiwei spoke from the perspective of a bystander.

Kong Ning was slightly silent, shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a hallucination...but maybe it's not."

"Whether it is or not, let's go to the yamen first."

In Kong Ning's heart, there was an inexplicable sense of urgency.

It's like something terrible is about to happen and it has to be done as soon as possible.

He took Caiwei into a dark and deserted alley, and when they came out again, both of them turned into ordinary crows.

Under the gloomy sky, a crow with black feathers flew over the roof and saw the Yamen's archway from a distance.

Kong Ning was not familiar with the way, but Cai Wei had roughly inquired about the route, and brought Kong Ning to the Yamen soon.

They flapped their wings and landed on the roof of the yamen, watching the situation inside the yamen.

Without the illusion, they couldn't confuse the policemen's minds to ask for information, so they could only search one by one.

Fortunately, Kong Ning has been a police officer for several years, and he is quite familiar with the layout of the yamen.

Although the small county government office in Shanlan County is not comparable to the large government office in the capital city in front of you.

But the layout and structure of the Yamen are similar.

Soon, Kong Ning found the room where the corpse was kept, and flew in while there was no one around.

There was already a faint smell of corpses in the house.

Kong Ning appeared in human form, lifted the corpse covered by the white cloth, and began to investigate.

There were four bodies in the house, three men and one woman.

And the one with fish scales under the skin was a lean and gloomy middle-aged man.

None of the four corpses had any wounds on their bodies, but all of them had hideous faces and distorted facial features.

It's like being executed before dying.

According to the rumors in the market, the four deceased were all killed by evil spirits that locked their souls in their sleep.

What Kong Ning paid the most attention to was the middle-aged man with fish scales.

Put your hands on each other and look slowly.

However, the more he looked, the more astonished Kong Ning became.

Although all the monsters in the city have been cut off their morality, but some things are indelible.

such as personality...

Even though Kong Ning at this time is a mortal through and through, he is still a Taoist at the second level of being tired of living.

It's just that the mana of cultivation has been suppressed.

His own breath is still disgusting.

And this middle-aged man with fish scales, judging from the breath of fish scales remaining under his skin, he is clearly a big demon with good skills.

There is a high probability that it is also a place of disgust...

In Kong Ning's heart, he became more and more astonished.

The old demon, who was tired of living in the environment, died for no apparent reason?

In this capital city, is it really so dangerous?

But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and someone was approaching.

Kong Ning in the house immediately covered all the white cloths of the corpses back, and at the same time transformed into a spider, hanging on the beam.

The door was quickly pushed open.

Several figures filed in.

At the forefront are two Taoist priests, one big and one small.

The young Taoist priest, a handsome boy, was looking at the corpse in the house with curiosity.

It was the orthodox monk that Kong Ning had seen before!

And the older Taoist priest, with his immortal demeanor, looks extraordinary.

He walked into the house and said to the officials beside him: "Master Liu, I need to take these four corpses back and cast spells to exorcise evil spirits."

"Their death conditions are too weird, maybe it's evil spirits working in secret."

The accompanying official was wearing a third-rank official robe, and it looked like he should be the governor of the capital.

It is a high official.

But in the face of this immortal Taoist priest, Mr. Fu Yin was sincere and fearful, and hurriedly said: "Everything is under the orders of Taoist Master Qingyunzi."

After finishing speaking, he said to the attendants on the left and right: "Come here! Prepare the chariots and horses! Send these four corpses to Shangqingguan!"

However, he didn't even care about the other party's move that didn't comply with the regulations, and it was completely a situation of giving and taking.

This confuses Kong Ning, not knowing who this Qingyunzi is, to have such a big face.
