Zha Shou broke into the rivers and lakes

"What?!" I was taken aback suddenly, looking back and forth between Zuo Yin and Qu Ling in disbelief, "Are you sure?!"

When Yi Xiongtian heard the words, he also stopped in surprise. He turned his head and stared at Zuo Yin closely, as if he wanted to judge from Zuo Yin's expression whether he was lying or not.However, Yi Xiongtian is a veteran who has been in the arena for many years, he quickly restrained his emotions, and asked calmly: "What basis do you have?"

Zuo Yin pointed to a tree stump not far away, and said: "When my sister Qu Ling and I were playing outside, I used to imitate the posture of a wounded person sitting on the tree stump. His appearance was like this at that time." After all, Zuo Yin made a gesture. His arms were stretched back, and his legs were stretched outwards from the knee joints. He looked like a marionette. In order to be more vivid, he deliberately widened his eyes , rolled the whites of the eyes, "We thought this look was very distinctive, so we imitated it for a long time, and I even tried to compare who was more similar to my sister Qu Ling."

What bad taste?I secretly thought.

Liu Huisheng raised his eyebrows, and keenly caught a word, "Injured? Not the dead?"

Qu Ling shrugged his shoulders and said: "Not dead, only half breathed, can't be saved, at most it can last for two or three days."

Yi Xiongtian's eyes froze, he scanned the surroundings, and he said with almost certainty: "The missing corpses you mentioned just now are those who have only half breath left."

Zuo Yin nodded, "Because we considered whether to save them at the time, we had a certain impression of them."

Liu Yifeng: "Why didn't you tell us that there were survivors? Why didn't you help them?"

Zuo Yin was wronged and said: "We also narrowly escaped death, without herbal bandages and food, how can we save them? Besides, they are no different from dead people, with only half a breath left, even if Hua Tuo is alive, there is nothing they can do. Since We have identified them as dead people, and they are the same as other dead people, there is no difference, and there is no need to tell you."

I was stunned. Indeed, under the circumstances at that time, no one would help these people whose lives were hanging by a thread.Human nature is self-preservation. In times of crisis, if you encounter someone who has nothing to do with you, you will basically choose to ignore their existence. Anyone will give priority to someone who is close to you and has an interest relationship.I took a few deep breaths, stopped dwelling on this question, and asked instead, "Why didn't you tell us about the disappearance of the corpse earlier?"

Qu Ling said: "We didn't find it a few days ago, but when we came back today, we suddenly felt that the surrounding area was much more empty, so we realized that there were fewer corpses."

I subconsciously glanced around, seeing corpses strewn across the field, without any sense of emptiness.When I was wondering, Yi Xiongtian answered my questions, and he suddenly realized: "So, we see the same scene every day, and some subtle changes will naturally not be noticed. Qu Ling and the others left for three days, and suddenly saw This scene will definitely be different from the previous one." As if to test his conjecture, Yi Xiongtian asked Qu Ling, "According to your memory, how many corpses are missing?"

Qu Ling stuck her chin with her right hand, frowned, and fell into deep thought. After a long time, she said ambiguously, "There are about ten of them."

Yi Xiongtian frowned slightly, apparently not satisfied with the answer, he turned his gaze to Zuo Yin.Zuo Yin shrugged, and said indifferently: "How can we remember so many? We didn't pay attention to it at first. It's good to find that there are fewer corpses. Oh, by the way, the ten corpses that sister Qu Ling mentioned are limited to this In one area, as far as I can tell, there must be fewer corpses in other places."

Immediately, my eyes lit up, and before Yi Xiongtian could respond, I couldn't wait to pull Zuo Yin up and strode forward, "Look quickly, what's missing?"

Qu Ling trotted all the way to catch up, she held Zuo Yin's arm, bouncing around with ease, compared to us, we were really restless like ants on a hot pot.Zuo Yin and Qu Ling looked here and there, looking very careless, but luckily they didn't miss their business.For about an hour, we walked around the Rakshasa Sect, and as Zuo Yin guessed, corpses disappeared in various places, and these corpses all had a common feature: they were all people who had not died completely.

According to Yi Xiongtian's analysis, the average number of missing corpses in each area is about seven, which is equivalent to two corpses disappearing in each area every day during these three days. It can be seen from this that the perpetrators did not We don't want to let us find that the number of dead bodies is gradually decreasing, so the dead bodies are transferred at a very slow speed.The result was exactly as he hoped, and the small differences did not catch our attention.However, streams can still merge into rivers and seas, and such a slow superposition is actually very rewarding.Two corpses disappear in each area every day, and about twenty corpses disappear in the entire Rakshasa Cult every day, sixty in three days.So, here comes the question, what did the perpetrators do to collect these corpses?Is it to save lives and heal the wounded?

Liu Yifeng shook his head with certainty: "Impossible, Qu Ling and the others have already said that they are all mortals and cannot be saved at all. Besides, if it is to save lives, why only save a few people every day? Those who are still sneaky Those who were not treated that day will obviously be delayed in the best time to rescue them."

I was noncommittal, "Since that's the case, what is his purpose for doing this?"

Liu Huisheng said, "Who do you think the perpetrator is most likely to be?"

I was taken aback by the question, as I hadn't thought about it at the time.I thought about it, and suddenly froze, could it be him? !I adjusted my breath, calmed down the gaffe just now, and said slowly: "Yes—Bai Huanyin. The corpses in the Rakshasa Sect disappeared one after another. It must be the work of people hiding here. After three days of searching , except for our group, no other traces of people were found. It is impossible for us to carry the corpses by ourselves, so this is enough to prove that there is another group of people hiding here. If Huang Qiwei, there are many others, they will definitely not touch them quietly, of course , nor can it be the nearby villagers or homeless people. In such a purgatory on earth, anyone would be frightened and run away. From this point of view, only Bai Huanyin left without saying goodbye. And according to previous guesses, they You have not left the Rakshasa Sect, and there is no conflict between the various conditions, this should be the truth."

While stroking his goatee, Yi Xiongtian agreed: "Well, this is indeed the closest conjecture to the actual situation. But... the old man still can't figure it out. He has no reason to contact us in order to collect the bodies of dying people. Cut off contact, with our assistance, his efficiency should be even higher."

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.Bai Huanyin's approach is obviously inconsistent. On the one hand, he puts himself in an isolated situation, and on the other hand, he is doing things that require everyone to work together. What is the significance of his doing so?Could it be... My eyes suddenly brightened, and I boldly put forward my hypothesis: "Unless he is unwilling to accept our help, or—what he is doing is not approved by us at all! He knows to talk to us too much It’s useless, just act according to your own method. Yes, yes, that’s it, and this can explain all his behavior.”

Liu Yifeng lowered his head slightly, frowned slightly, and looked thoughtful. He shook his head slowly, as if denying my conjecture, but then nodded again, leaving me confused.Finally, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said loudly: "I understand! I understand everything!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Liu Yifeng in unison, their eyes full of searching meaning.

Liu Yifeng was so excited that he paced back and forth, he punched his left palm with his right fist, and kept muttering "So so so so so." Immediately, he turned around, his face was filled with indescribable joy, and his voice was like a cheerful note Jumping up and down, he said: "According to all previous speculations, we currently have three clues. First, Hierarch Bai has his own plan, but he is not sure of success, so he doesn't want to implicate us, so he acts alone, and he is ready to go. The plan to die. Second, the urgent problem we need to face now is the threat of Huang Qiwei. Third, the leader Bai just secretly carried out his plan because we would not agree to his plan, and part of his plan is the need There are many bodies of dying people. There are obvious contradictions between the first and third clues, but if we separate and recombine the contradictions, we can finally sort out a logical clue, that is, why the leader Bai thinks We disagree with his method? It is because he is prepared to die, which means that it is not because of the danger of the mission that he will die, but because the method he chooses may cause his death or other serious injuries. Xiao Chenchen, you have a very close relationship with Patriarch Bai. If he bets his own life, you must not agree, so he can only choose to leave. Secondly, the method he uses is not without certainty of success, it should be Absolutely, otherwise, he would not have made such a big sacrifice, he would weigh whether it was worth it, obviously, he felt it was worth it, because it could eradicate our common threat - Huang Qiwei. In the end, what is the method he used? Not ugly It turns out that this method is extremely powerful, and it can even eliminate Huang Qiwei and his forces on his own. At the same time, using this method requires a great price, and one of the points is that many dying people's bodies are needed." Liu Yifeng After a pause, he continued: "To put it simply, Master Bai has found a costly and destructive method to fight against Huang Qiwei, and the body of the dying person is a factor to achieve this plan. If We will know what his method is, and everything will be revealed. Come to think of it, why does he need the body of a dying person instead of a real corpse? Is there something that the living have but the dead don’t?"

"breathe!"

"Pulse!" Qu Ling and Zuo Yin raised their hands and answered first.There was a smile on his face, as if he was proud of his intelligence and wit, he deliberately raised his head.I twitched the corner of my mouth speechlessly, Liu Yifeng said so much, he probably only listened to this one sentence.

Liu Yifeng immediately denied: "No, breathing and pulse are abstract and difficult to use. I guess they should be physical things."

Liu Huisheng remained silent. At this moment, he was holding a cane in one hand and Liu Yifeng in the other. He murmured slightly, unsure: "Could it be body temperature?"

Liu Yifeng thought for a while, then shook his head, "Impossible, if he needs a temperature higher than room temperature, he can make a fire or use the body temperature of animals, not necessarily limited to humans."

Liu Huisheng didn't seem to give up, he continued: "What if he plans to hatch something? It's hard to control the temperature of the fire, and it's easy to cook things. If you use animals, they are alive and kicking, and you can't concentrate on hatching. You can only use dying ones." People can save worry and effort to achieve the ultimate goal.”

Liu Yifeng: "..."

Qu Ling: "That's right! I think the blind brother is right. Maybe the beautiful brother is hatching some kind of terrifying and ferocious animal? As long as the animal grows up, it can kill the yellow bitch!"

Liu Yifeng supported his forehead, "Stop making trouble."
