Chapter 261: Murder in the Night
The sword thrust was empty.
The moment it was chopped down, the group of things in the darkness.
Suddenly they separated.
After bypassing the sword, he rushed towards Liu Hou again.
Liu Hou's Dragon Gate Demon Slayer Sword danced like an airtight weapon, constantly smashing things that came at him.
But those things seem to be inexhaustible to kill. No matter how many are killed, more will come out.
It seemed like he was fighting a protracted battle with Liu Hou.
Liu Hou snorted in his heart.
Although he is not afraid of a protracted battle, the secrets will eventually become sparse, and the longer it goes on, the more trouble there will be.
He must find where his attacker is hiding.
Liu Hou was very sure that someone was driving those tiny things to attack him.
This man is so vicious.
Don't give him a chance to live.
It's not even as simple as simply trying to snatch the jade sign.
That bastard just wants to kill people.
"Where?"
Liu Hou was carrying the things that kept coming at him while using the heavenly book to deduce.
The derivation of the Book of Heaven is very slow.
There seems to be a force resisting and interfering.
After persisting for a while, I finally got the result.
Liu Hou perked up, pinched the talisman and threw it in the direction of ten o'clock.
The talisman exploded violently.
A ray of light bloomed.
But that silky light was quickly extinguished by tiny things in the air.
There was a muffled groan not far away. It was obviously the person hiding in the dark who had been hit unexpectedly.
But not injured.
Just surprised: "How do you know where I am hiding?"
The voice is neither male nor female, it is falsetto.
Liu Hou turned the tip of his sword upside down and did not attack the source of the voice.
Instead, it stabbed at the four o'clock position.
Puff.
The sound of sword piercing flesh.
Stung.
A trace of blood spurted into the air.
"You actually found me."
It was that masculine voice again, and this time the surprise in the tone turned into shock: "How is that possible!"
Liu Hou said nothing and just kept attacking.
The sword energy was flying, not giving him a chance to breathe.
The guy hiding in the dark controlled small things in the air to constantly block Liu Hou's sword.
It didn't take long for him to bear it no longer.
Liu Hou's heart suddenly became cold, and he felt extremely uneasy.
He grabbed his sword and backed away suddenly.
At this moment, a large number of small objects in the air exploded.
The smell of burnt protein filled the air.
Fortunately, Liu Hou hid quickly, otherwise he would have lost some honors even if he had not been killed.
As soon as the explosion stopped, Liu Hou drew his sword again and charged forward.
Halfway through the rush, he frowned.
He could no longer find the breath of the murderer.
That guy was a bachelor, so when he saw that he couldn't kill Liu Hou, he ran away quickly.
The overhead corridor light made a few chirping sounds.
It lit up again.
As if it had never been destroyed.
Liu Hou was the only one left in the corridor, standing alone with his sword in his hand.
What surprised him was that after he killed so many small things in the air, the ground was clean.
Not a single body was left behind.
It's like those things appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air.
If it weren't for a few drops of blood shed not far away, it could prove that Liu Hou had just fought a fierce battle of life and death.
He almost thought he was hallucinating.
Shaking his head, Liu Hou used the heavenly book to deduce where the murderer had escaped.
But found nothing.
The Book of Heaven cannot be deduced.
"Forget it, his arm is injured anyway. Let's take a closer look tomorrow to see who among the candidates has been injured in the same position. Then we will know who is attacking me."
Liu Hou said to himself.
Back to room 301.
Just as he was about to open the door, he was stunned again.
The door was opened after he left.
His face turned cold, he grabbed his sword and kicked the door open.
Rushed in.
Just as he was about to attack, he suddenly saw Ling Taoist and Ding Yun, each holding snacks in the refrigerator.
I ate it honestly and enjoyed myself.
When the two of them saw Liu Hou's murderous look, the chicken feet in his mouth were frightened.
The spiritual guide wiped his greasy hands with his pants and said: "Brother Liu Hou, I just ate a few packs of braised chicken legs from you. There is no need to shout and kill."
"Were you in the room the whole time?"
Liu Hou checked the house and found nothing unusual.
Ding Yun nodded: "The spiritual channel people said that it is not peaceful tonight, so it will be safer to have as many people as possible. So the two of us came to find you."
"Did you hear anything just now?"
Liu Hou asked again.
When he fought with the murderer, there was a lot of movement, and it was in the corridor on the third floor.
It's not far from my room.
If the candidates living on the third floor were trying to protect themselves, even if they heard the noise, no one came out to help.
He wasn't familiar with the spiritual channel, so he didn't care.
With Ding Yun's character, he would definitely run out if he heard he was being attacked.
Unexpectedly, Ding Yun shook his head blankly: "I didn't hear it."
"Didn't hear anything?"
Liu Hou narrowed his eyes.
"Heard nothing!"
Ding Yun is sure.
The spiritual channeler pointed at his old face: "Brother Liu Hou, I didn't hear anything. Did something happen?"
Liu Hou was silent for a moment and said calmly: "I think I may have just met the murderer of Yan Feibai, the young man in white."
There are still some things that he can't figure out.
Could it be that the tiny things the murderer released had a soundproofing effect?
Or maybe a soundproofing spell was deployed in advance?
Very likely.
After all, Yan Feibai definitely experienced pain that is difficult for ordinary people to understand before he died, but he, who lived not far from him, also did not hear any strange movements.
It's a pity that after those little things died, they disappeared without a trace and no bodies were left behind.
Otherwise, you should take a look and see what it is.
After hearing his words, the spiritual Taoist and Ding Yun suddenly sat up straight in surprise.
Ding Yun quickly asked: "Brother Liu, are you injured?"
The spiritual channeler asked: "Really? Who is the murderer and how did he attack you?"
"I wasn't hurt, but I stabbed him in the arm."
Liu Houdao: "That guy can drive some kind of tiny creatures, I guess, maybe very small flying insects, to attack people.
Yan Feibai resisted before he died.
It's a pity that those flying insects flew into the body, and eventually the flying insects bit him from the inside, and he died miserably."
Ding Yun and the Ling Dao people shuddered when they heard this.
"Tomorrow, the three of us will take a closer look to see who has a sword wound on his arm. It's getting late, so let's all go to bed."
As he spoke, Liu Hou put on his clothes, held his sword, and sat on the sofa.
Prepare to make do with it all night.
The same is true for Ling Taoist and Ding Yun.
After the three of them closed their eyes.
The figure in the spiritual channel suddenly thought of something and asked: "Brothers, do you think it's possible? This is also a part of the exam. And Yan Feibai is not actually dead? Brother Liu, you were attacked because it was actually a kind of assessment.
?”
"Absolutely impossible."
Liu Hou shook his head.
He personally inspected Yan Feibai's body and found that he was really dead.
You can't fake it.
And the murderer who just attacked him really wanted to kill him.
Can't be fake.
As for the murderer's purpose in attacking him.
Liu Hou didn't even think that his goal was really the jade sign.
The murderer most likely wanted to completely mess up the order of the cruise ship and fish in troubled waters.
Maybe the murderer and the cruise ship's disappearance are indeed connected.
A sleepless night.
Sleeping sparsely.
However, when Taoist priests used to exorcise evil spirits, they often ate and slept in the open.
This little pain is nothing.
Finally, daybreak!
With no more cover of darkness, when all the candidates on the cruise ship saw the scene outside the portholes.
Chapter completed!
