no puppet

"never mind."

Xie Hengyan waved his hand dejectedly, and said to Boss Gan helplessly, "It's useless to ask you, you don't even know how your own daughter died, you idiot."

Boss Gan shook his head distractedly, and after a while, nodded without knowing what to say.

"Stop talking, forget about the fact that I came to you today." Xie Hengyan stared intently into his eyes, and then gave instructions word by word, "...do you understand? Do you understand?"

Boss Gan nodded again in a daze.

Xie Hengyan smiled and said, "Good boy."

After half a stick of incense, he slowly walked out of the tavern alone, looking at the gray and light rain covering the sky, he sighed helplessly again.

He didn't expect to be able to ask this fat man about 21, but he didn't expect that this surname Gan didn't know anything, and he didn't even know the whereabouts of his own daughter.

Whoever falls for a shitty father like him will be miserable for eight lifetimes!

"Bullshit, it's all bullshit." Xie Hengyan sneered, "There's nothing good about it."

He rushed all the way back to the empty building. At that time, Liu Zhouer was busy entertaining guests, while Xiaolu was listlessly leaning on the side of the stairs in a daze. When he saw Xie Hengyan rushing in, he tried his best to look up at him. He said hello: "Xiao Xie, it's very dangerous outside recently, don't run out alone on rainy days."

"Oh, Miss Lu..."

Xie Hengyan was taken aback, then slowly squatted over, and asked in a low voice: "You look so pale, are you sick?"

Xiaolu couldn't lift her head up, her eyes were full of reddish-brown bloodshot eyes.

She looked extremely tired, obviously she didn't sleep all night last night, and she didn't take care of rest this morning, so she got out of bed and started to work in a daze.

"I'm fine." Xiaolu forced a smile, "Look at you, you forgot your umbrella when you went out? Your hair is dripping."

Xie Hengyan stroked his head, Xiaolu took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, and said: "There is hot water upstairs, you should change your clothes and take a shower, so as not to catch a cold."

"...Understood, thank you, Miss Lu."

Xie Hengyan responded repeatedly, but there was an indescribable strangeness in her heart.

Since Xiaotao's accidental death, the whole empty building has gradually become overwhelmed with a heavy and unspeakable atmosphere.The girls stopped laughing and playing during the day. Most of the time, they chose to stay in the room without saying a word. Occasionally, when guests came in, they forced their heads out to avoid losing their jobs.

But at this very time, it is difficult to distinguish between humans and monsters in the town, and only those lusty and reckless guests dare to visit at this time.

Therefore, according to the current situation, the business of Kongzhanlou is also suffering from an unprecedented bleak attack.

Of course, Kongzhanlou is not the only one who is afraid.Everyone can't touch the bottom of their hearts, so they will naturally feel panic and fear of unknown death, and they will express extremely strong resistance emotions at the right time.

The whole town is wrapped in this summer tide, and it keeps getting lost day after day.

There is still a dense layer of drizzle floating outside the window.

Xie Hengyan took off her outer robe, and stood alone next to the bathtub in the center of the room, scooping up water for a long time as if nothing had happened.

After a while, probably feeling that the temperature was just right, he stripped off the inner layer of clothing again, put it on the side of the bucket, and laid it out flat.

Everything in the empty building is good, there is food, drink and a place to live, and the sisters around are more beautiful than the other.

If possible, he would rather stay in this place for the rest of his life and not move his nest - at least the problem of food and clothing can be solved, and he will not be able to rely on offerings every day like the days when he temporarily lived in the shrine.

While Xie Hengyan was thinking this way, she bent over and sat next to the tub, pulled off her obscene pants and prepared to go directly into the water.

But at this moment, there was a strange rustling sound from behind, and it was transmitted directly to his ears through a screen in the corner, which instantly aroused his long-standing vigilance and defense.

"...Who?" Xie Hengyan turned cold, "Who is there?"

Before he could finish speaking, the screen was thrown halfway with a single hand.Xie Hengyan had almost made all the preparations, but at this moment, he happened to meet a cold but extremely familiar face in the upper corner.

Yin Chuan's whole body was twisted into a ball, and at the moment he was stuck between the blind spot formed by the screen and the wall and remained motionless—perhaps because of the black clothes covering his whole body, this posture was funny and stupid, which made him He looks more like a watermelon bug at the bottom of a rock.

Xie Hengyan: "..."

Yin Chu: "..."

The two looked at each other, and they were deadlocked for about a blink of an eye.

Xie Hengyan's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she opened her two lips in a flash: "Ahhhhh—"

It happened that Xiaolu outside the door had sharp ears, caught up and knocked on the door: "Xiao Xie, Xiao Xie, what's wrong with you, Xiao Xie?"

However, no one answered, only a series of inaudible water splashes responded to her.

Xiaolu felt worried, so she hurriedly creaked the door again, and gently pushed open a small crack——

There was no one in the room, only a large bucket of lukewarm water slowly wafting out the heat.

"Strange, I heard a voice just now..." Xiaolu said cautiously, "Xiao Xie, aren't you here?"

Bathtub: "Gudong Gudong Gudong..."

"Well, not here."

Xiaolu shook her head in frustration, stood in front of the door for a while, then turned and walked away with doubts.

"This kid, didn't you let him take a bath first, where did he go jumping now..."

As the woman's voice became fainter, there was a crash in the tub, and suddenly a panting head popped out, and it was in a state of distress, dripping wetly.

At the same time, Xie Hengyan was forcibly pressed to the bottom of the bathtub, struggling and writhing like a cramp—and Yin Chuan exerted too much force on his back, he couldn't get rid of the shackles, so he could only close his eyes tightly , trying to make a series of terrified trills: "Let go, let go! I most... hate being submerged in... water..."

——While talking, he gulped down several mouthfuls of water.

It wasn't until Xiaolu completely walked away from the door that Yin Zhuang let go of his grip.Xie Hengyan was like a dying loach, paddling randomly at the bottom of the bucket twice, and finally surfaced in a daze, bumped into Yin Chun's arms and shivered.

The two leaned against each other speechlessly for a moment, Xie Hengyan was naked, her bare arms were as slippery as creamy fat, and there were still a few crystal clear drops of water hanging on the surface of the water bit by bit.

Yin Chun only took a quick glance, then stretched out his hand and pushed him away.

It was another extremely strange and awkward look at each other.

Xie Hengyan's eyes were red, her throat trembled slightly, and after a long while, there was a sound of "poofing"——Zi Yin poured the fresh hot bath water all over her face.

Yin Chu: "..."

Xie Hengyan was completely paralyzed, and slid down into the bucket with a gulp, turning from a living loach into a drowned grasshopper.

"I...I remember you." He said on the verge of death, "My father dare not treat me like this, you boy...is the first one."

With a blank expression on his face, Yin Chun turned over and stepped over the wall of the barrel, spilling water stains all over the ground and a few sporadic soaked petals.

Xie Hengyan pointed at his nose, as if wanting to continue to say something, but after holding back for a while, all he got was a heart-piercing cough.

He has always been most afraid of water. Before taking a bath, he will first test the depth of the water, the temperature, and the best time to take off his clothes and enter the water.

And Yin Chun's sudden intrusion directly destroyed his three bottom lines that cannot be tolerated.

"...Three, three." Xie Hengyan said bitterly, "You wait for me, I will let you...cough cough cough cough cough..."

Yin Chun looked blank: "What three things?"

Xie Hengyan pointed at the door: "Go away, I don't want to see your ugly face again."

However, just halfway through the conversation, as if he had realized something, he suddenly raised his voice, turned around and confronted him: "No, what are you doing here... um!"

Yin Chun covered his babbling mouth with both hands: "Hush your voice!"

Xie Hengyan tilted her head: "...?" Why?

Yin Chun said, "Do you want to know why?"

Xie Hengyan snorted coldly from his nasal cavity.

Yin Chun didn't mind, instead he continued: "Just now I checked Gan Xiaozhu's room."

Xie Hengyan's heart tightened suddenly - then he wouldn't see himself and Boss Gan...

"It seems to have a very special smell of spices in her room." Yin Zhu said flatly, "I had smelled that smell in that small dark alley on the night of the incident."

Xie Hengyan studied his expression carefully, and when it was confirmed that this guy knew nothing about all his previous actions, Fang quietly let out a sigh of old-fashionedness in his heart.

However, soon, he felt his scalp tingle again because of Yin Zhu's sudden remarks: "What do you want to say? And you want to use this to prove that I killed people?"

"I've said it many times, it's impossible for me to kill it." Xie Hengyan spread his hands needlessly, "I don't have such a thing as a karma seal on my body. If you want to see it, you can peel off my pants now."

After that, he straightened up from the tub naked, his skin as pale and soft as snow, faintly revealing a little bit of soft crimson under the soaking water.

Xie Hengyan went straight to Yin Chun, holding the waistband of his trousers that was crumbling in his hand, looked up at him and said, "...you can do whatever you want, just remember to give the money."

Yin Chun raised an arm, putting an unfamiliar distance of nearly a foot between the two of them: "Don't look."

Xie Hengyan said bluntly: "Then please go out and turn right, and get out through the back door."

"The murderous monster is squatting in the empty building." Yin Chunning said, "If you want to live a few more days, you'd better not hinder me from doing things."

Xie Hengyan was slightly taken aback, and then cast an unbelievable look at him.

Yin Chun glanced at him lightly, and said: "You were not the only one who appeared in the alley together that day."
