of the Family

Luoshui City.

Witch Medical Clinic.

Wu Xiaolian was sitting in the study, holding a candle and carefully checking the day's accounts.

She looked serious and focused, but actually she was a little distracted.

I miscalculated several times and had to go back and start over.

"Why haven't you finished it yet?"

There was a soft creaking sound, and a girl about the same age as Wu Xiaolian opened the door and came in, "Everyone is waiting for you, can't you do it tomorrow?"

Wu Xiaolian showed an apologetic smile and said, "Sister Xu Ying, you go ahead. I won't go if I don't feel well."

The girl walked over, snatched the accounts on the table, and then pulled the person up.

"Hurry up, hurry up. We promised to play together tonight, but you've been waiting for me for so long. I would have been embarrassed."

Wu Xiaolian sighed and had no choice but to blow out the candle and followed him out of the room.

It was just an excuse for her to sort out her accounts. The real reason was that she didn't want to go out because she was afraid.

The older sister who used to be gentle and sweet, who always liked to dress up as an old lady and joke with him, somehow turned into that terrifying monster.

Wu Xiaolian never wanted to see her again.

Only by hiding at home and huddled in this small room can people get such a tiny illusory sense of security.

"Why has Xiaolian lost so much weight? Hurry up, hurry up, everyone is impatient."

Xu Ying urged, "Even if you don't give me face, you still have to give Xu Sheng face, right?"

She walked quickly, still a little confused, "You don't light up the lights at night, does such a big medical center need to save so much gas money?

Also, where have the other people in the medical center gone? It’s really scary to see that everything is so spooky.”

"Okay, Sister Xu Ying, why don't I go?"

"Don't hold on so tightly, it hurts..."

Wu Xiaolian kept struggling, with a hint of crying in her voice.

Chi!

Her wrist suddenly relaxed.

Xu Ying, who was walking in front, stumbled and fell down without any warning.

Gudu!

Gurgling!

A clearly audible sucking sound sounded.

Wu Xiaolian was stunned immediately.

He stared blankly at the lively and pretty girl who quickly shriveled up, like a flower that was originally in bud but lost all its freshness and vitality in just a few breaths.

After a moment, densely packed scarlet tentacles flashed through the darkness and quickly disappeared without a trace.

It's as if they never appeared.

"Here she comes, here she comes again!"

Wu Xiaolian's face was full of horror, and she was searching everywhere for the hideous and terrifying monster.

But apart from the shriveled and withered body at his feet, nothing was found.

She ran like crazy, looking for anyone alive.

But the entire medical center and the backyard were deserted, and there was only a deathly silence.

As if this is just a haunted house.

Quietly, two people slipped in from the outside along the wall.

The body is fast and agile, like two dexterous wild cats.

"Master Liu asked us to secretly monitor this place. Now that there is something abnormal, I think it is best to go back and report it first."

One of them said in a very low voice.

The other person shook his head, "Why don't you find out more about the situation and report something when you go back? When the woman starts to question you, won't you ask me questions?"

"That's true...but I always feel that something is wrong with the Wu Family Medical Clinic tonight. It's eerie and terrifying, like a ghost."

"Just be more careful. I don't believe there is anyone in Luoshui City who can massacre a whole yard of people under our noses without being discovered."

The two ended their conversation, used various terrain covers to cover their tracks, and quickly dived deeper into the medical center.

Just like two drops of water, they merged into a basin of ink without any sound and were never seen again.

……………………

Qingfeng Temple, Green Bamboo Garden.

The night wind blew slowly through the bamboo forest outside the courtyard, bringing with it a rustling sound.

A small river flows around the bamboo forest, and fish pop up from time to time and spit out a few bubbles.

There are also frogs that live by the water and often sing happily on rainy days.

The river seems a little too quiet today.

Wu Yin stood on the side of the bamboo forest, staring intently at the smooth, mirror-like water surface.

Suddenly a muffled sound exploded from underwater.

Immediately afterwards, whirlpools emerged one after another, rolling up large clouds of mud and sand, and the water surface suddenly became turbid.

Wu Yin used his eyesight enough, but he could only see a group of shadows rushing left and right under the water, rolling up rapids, like a giant water snake rolling and running at the bottom of the river.

Suddenly, he felt the ground tremble slightly.

In an instant, a figure flew out from the water.

It looks like a fish leaping over a dragon gate, shining with a faint silver light under the moonlight.

Wu Yin suddenly came back to his senses, quickly grabbed his clothes and rushed towards him.

The closer he got, the more he could clearly hear a sound like the roar of a tiger and the roar of a dragon, emanating from that figure.

Through the black and red aura covering the body, one can vaguely see that there seems to be a dense network of blood hidden under the skin, as if it has its own life and spirituality, constantly meandering, swimming and dancing wildly.

Buzz…

The black and red true energy beats endlessly, entering the internal organs and reaching the skin.

Wei Tao's whole body was shaking violently, and he stood there without moving for a long time.

It wasn't until the black and red aura faded away that the skin underneath was revealed, like gold and jade, like a girl's delicate skin, as if all the weird scenes just now were just a dream in the middle of the night.

"Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir, you have been in seclusion for a few days, and you have achieved great success!"

Wu Yin helped put on his shirt, bent down and bowed.

"It's just taking back some control over the body, and taking the opportunity to step into the realm of Zang training. It's still far from being a magical achievement."

Wei Tao sighed lowly and rolled up his hair that was hanging down his back, "What else do you want?"

Wu Yin's expression changed, "Returning to your lord, several small forces in Luoshui City were wiped out. All of them died in extremely miserable conditions. Their bodies were shriveled and withered, as if they had been drained of the essence of flesh and blood.

Among them is the medical school and martial arts school of the girl Xiaolian who you asked me to follow, but there are also no survivors."

Wei Tao turned around and asked, "Where's Xiaolian? Is she dead or missing?"

"She must have disappeared. Even the secret agent of the Patrol Department sent by Miss Liu to monitor him has also disappeared."

Wei Tao fell into deep thought, then raised his head after a moment, "If there is anything else, please continue."

Wu Yin replied, "Captain He has sent people over several times in the past few days to urge you to rush to the city to join the investigation team and start investigating the case.

However, Guanzhu Li used the excuse that the Lord was involved in handling Lan and Elder's funeral affairs to temporarily deal with it."

Wu Yin paused for a moment as he said this, his tone slightly strange.

"Elder Lanhe's granddaughter, Lan Xiu, has also been looking for you in the past few days, but Guanzhu Li also dealt with it on the pretext that you were joining the investigation team of the Imperial Court's Lu Observation Envoy."

Wei Tao couldn't help but be slightly startled after hearing this. After being silent for a long time, he sighed and said, "Although Senior Brother Li is not reliable on all sides, he can still be relied on sometimes."

"Please go ahead and prepare the carriage. I will go to Luoshui City tomorrow morning."

"My subordinate understands."

the next day.

When the sun rises.

Luoshui City, six gates.

A carriage slowly stopped on the roadside.
