Mortal Mirror

At this moment, the round moon hung high, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the old locust tree.

Li Ergou looked at the old locust tree and suddenly felt a special sensation, as if the old locust tree were a living thing. He didn't know why he had this feeling.

He shook his head and turned to walk into the darkness.

At this time, he certainly wouldn't go to Chen Bajin's house again; he could only return to the Tianxian Tower. For a moment, he sighed inwardly. He had only been here for a short day, yet he had experienced such significant events, almost losing his life. This Fish City was truly not a good place.

Had he known it would be like this, he would have been beaten to death before being brought here.

Just as he was about to reach the Tianxian Tower, a sudden deafening roar erupted in the distance, and towering flames could be seen rising up. Immediately afterward, he heard miserable screams echoing.

Li Ergou's expression changed as he looked towards the direction of the fire.

Should he just turn around and leave? But his identity as a constable wouldn't allow him to do that. Forget it, he'd go see what the commotion was. He didn't expect that such a large Fish City would be unsafe.

His body flashed, and he left the spot.

Standing in the darkness, Li Ergou saw many people running around in panic, illuminated by the firelight. The place where the fire broke out was a two-story building.

More than a dozen constables had already gathered at the front, their faces equally terrified, the swords in their hands glowing fiery red in the flames.

Boom! At this moment, a huge explosion sounded, and several constables were blown out of the burning building, each covered in flames and blood. It was clear that they were seriously injured.

At that moment, a huge figure rushed out of the building. It was a giant monster about two meters tall. This monster was pitch black, with six black, root-like tentacles behind it.

His face was ferocious, with a disfigured visage, and saliva dripped from his mouth from time to time. It was actually a ghoul.

Li Ergou was surprised. This thing was very rare, much fiercer than zombies, and was the bane of zombies, specializing in eating zombies and corpses. The strange thing was, how could it appear in the city?

The ghoul's eyes were blood red. At this moment, he raised his head and roared, then strode towards the crowd.

"Waaah, waaaah!"

On the road in front of him, a three- or four-year-old girl was holding a wooden doll and crying. Perhaps her cries attracted the ghoul.

He actually looked at the little girl and ran quickly towards her.

Li Ergou originally wanted to turn around and leave. After all, there were so many constables here. No matter how powerful this ghoul was, could it fight against so many people? Obviously impossible.

But when he saw that the ghoul's target was actually that little girl, how could Li Ergou leave? He saw two constables rush up, only to be instantly knocked away by the ghoul.

Li Ergou sighed, then suddenly rushed out.

The ghoul ran quickly, charging towards the little girl. In his eyes, the little girl seemed like a delicious meal, making him even more excited.

Just as he was about to reach the little girl, just as he stretched out his sharp claws towards her.

Unexpectedly, a tortoise shell flew from the void, and a clear, cold voice shouted loudly: "Monster, stop your arrogance!"

The many constables present saw two people flying in at the same time. One was dressed plainly and threw out a tortoise shell. The tortoise shell grew in the wind, and in a moment, it became ten feet in size and landed on the ground with a bang, covering the little girl's body.

The ghoul grabbed it with a claw, and the palm collided with the tortoise shell, making a cracking sound. Then the guy let out a scream, and it was unknown whether his paw was broken.

On the other side, a woman in white flew over. Everyone only heard the buzzing sound of a sword being unsheathed, and another flash of cold light. The upper half of the ghoul's body slid off his body diagonally.

The next moment, a woman in white, as white as snow, stood on the huge tortoise shell. The breeze lifted her black hair, revealing her stunning face. At this moment, she was like a firefly in the night, especially eye-catching.

This extremely sharp sword made the constables admire her immensely.

At this moment, a slightly exaggerated voice came: "Wow, so powerful, so powerful, one step late, one step late."

At this time, a captain was seen, his clothes not completely buttoned up, and his hat was crooked. Under the firelight, Li Ergou saw the person's face clearly. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart. The person who came was none other than Chen Bajin.

Li Ergou stepped forward, picked up the crying little girl, and while comforting her, took out a candy and handed it to her. The little girl blinked her big eyes and put the candy in her mouth, and immediately stopped crying.

At this moment, Chen Bajin also arrived, and he heard him chuckle and say: "Thank you, thank you very much. May I know who this heroine is?"

The woman saw that Chen Bajin was wearing the clothes of a captain, and then said: "I am Bai Su from Qingcheng Mountain."

Hearing this name, Chen Bajin's eyes widened suddenly, and he said with a look of surprise: "Bai Su, known as the Fairy of Qingcheng?"

The woman nodded slightly and said, "They are just nicknames that others have given me."

Chen Bajin said with a hint of flattery: "Your subordinate has met the lord."

When everyone heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded, with a puzzled look on their faces. Chen Bajin looked at the surrounding constables and immediately cursed: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and meet Lord Bai Su. This is the newly transferred Deputy Chief Constable."

When the constables heard this, they were all a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the rumored Deputy Chief Constable who had always been about to be transferred was actually a stunning beauty, and also the famous Fairy of Qingcheng. This time, everyone was lucky.

Everyone immediately began to pay their respects. Bai Su frowned slightly. In fact, she didn't like this kind of scene very much. Helplessly, at this moment, she could only nod slightly in response.

Li Ergou stood under the tortoise shell, sighing in his heart. He didn't expect this woman to be so powerful. She became the Deputy Chief Constable of Fish City at a young age. Although the two of them had the same title, the power was vastly different.

His own Deputy Chief Constable of Kushui County in this Fish City was only about the same as Chen Bajin's second-class constable in terms of power.

And her, needless to say, had great power. Even the magistrate had to respectfully call her "Lord" when he saw her.

Outside, Chen Bajin suddenly said with a slight surprise: "Huh, why is this tortoise shell so familiar? How come my good brother Li Ergou's tortoise shell is exactly the same as this one."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Ergou walk out of the tortoise shell holding the little girl, and said with some helplessness: "Hey, Chen Bajin, what do you mean by my tortoise shell? Do I have a shell? Please speak clearly, otherwise others will misunderstand that I am a big turtle."

At this time, Bai Su and Li Ergou both looked at each other. Li Ergou smiled and said: "It's you again, what a coincidence."

Bai Su frowned slightly, but still couldn't help but say: "Why do I see you everywhere I go?"

Li Ergou's face was slightly embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say.

When Chen Bajin saw Li Ergou, he was very happy and walked up, saying with joy: "Damn, Ergou, it's really you!"
