In the morning, as soon as Chao Huan opened the door, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. The yard was eerily quiet, and there was not even the sound of children talking.
She was a little stunned, closed the door and walked a few steps, and suddenly saw the scene in the yard.
It was the end of the day, and he was sitting at the stone table, looking at her with a half-smile. Lian Yunlan was holding a teapot and pouring tea for him. This scene was a bit strange. Chao Huan's expression changed slightly, and his last gaze fell on
On the other side, the children stood obediently.
Different from his usual lively and naughty appearance, his expression was dull and motionless, like a puppet wearing human skin.
But Xiu is not here.
Chao Huan was not very surprised, but had a feeling that it was indeed the case. She asked Lian Yunlan to notify Zhou Kong Jin to come, but she did not expect Zhou Kong Jin to come so soon.
She walked over and sat on the other side of the stone table. Lian Yunlan glanced at her and poured her a cup of tea.
After taking a sip of the warm tea, Chao Huan could tell that it was not his own crude tea, but that it tasted like the good tea brought by Ji Kong Jin himself.
Pay attention to.
She took a sip, raised her eyes and said, "Even Yunlan told you, right?"
Ji Kongjin also took a sip of tea. He was very confident in his collection and was in a very beautiful mood while tasting the valuable tea leaves.
"Well, I know everything about the situation. Now, Qixiu, what are you going to do?"
"How?" Chao Huan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Should I decide?"
Hiruzora smiled meaningfully. He held the tea cup in his hand. The white porcelain cup was steaming, and the aroma of tea leaves wafted in the air.
Ji Kongjin said: "Didn't you really want to kill him before?"
"But, he is not Qie Yuan, he is just a puppet." Chao Huan did not hesitate.
To her, Qie Xiu and Qie Yuan are two completely different people, so Qie Xiu should not be able to atone for the sins Qie Yuan committed.
Jiukong smiled and cursed, "You can tell the difference so clearly now."
Chao Huan knew that Zhou Kong was in a good mood and had no idea about Qixiu. His main goal was Qie Yuan, and Qixiu's treatment was not important. If he did well, he might be able to get some benefits. If he was not willing to cooperate, Zhou Kong
He will definitely be refined into a puppet that he can control.
Fortunately, Qixiu still chose to cooperate with her.
"Then you decide for yourself. I promised Yan Wuya not to force you to hurt others."
Chao Huan felt warm in his heart. Thinking of what his master had done for him, his expression could not help but become warmer.
Juukong Jin saw her expression, and of course he knew what she was thinking. However, Juukong Jin knew Chao Huan. She seemed to be willing to do whatever it took to get revenge, but she was not willing to hurt other innocent people at all, and would rather take it herself.
He often takes detours and is extremely indecisive.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Based on the information provided by Qie Xiu, I have narrowed the scope of the investigation. The results will be available after a while. Before that, you should find out more information. By the way, Soul Seizing
Did Dan stop?”
Chao Huan nodded and said, "It's stopped. Qixiu is gradually recovering his memory. I'm a little worried whether he will change his mind and betray us when he completely recovers his memory."
Thinking about it, Jiukong thought that before Qie Xiu pretended to be so similar to Qie Yuan, those things he had done were not all done solely under Qie Yuan's control. No matter what, this person's behavior could be judged as
"Evil", even if it seems like an innocent child now, who knows what will happen after that?
However, Jiukong's methods for dealing with traitors are as limited as possible.
"Then don't involve him too much, just get the information. I will give Lian Yunlan an order to kill Qie Xiu immediately if he does anything wrong. Of course, protecting you is the first priority."
Chao Huan was silent for a long time, but still had no objection.
The two discussed some more details, and Chao Huan suddenly remembered Pei Ziyan again. She asked Lian Yunlan to tell Zhou Kongjin that this matter was not included in the information, and she was planning to ask directly in person.
So Chao Huan asked: "At the end of the day, do you still remember the information you gave me about some of the people around Qie Yuan? There was a person named Pei Ziyan among them. In the information you gave me at that time, what you wrote was the same as what I wrote in Qie Yuan.
What I heard there was a little different..."
She told what Qixiu had told her about Pei Ziyan, and Zhou Kongjin didn't care at first, but as she talked more, Zhou Kongjin gradually became serious.
Zhou Kongjin was much sharper than Chao Huan. He immediately discovered something was wrong from the two completely different pieces of information. He thought for a moment and asked Chao Huan: "Do you think this is a possibility for Qie Xiu to lie to protect his image?"
How big is sex?”
Chao Huan shook his head, "I don't think this is possible. Do you remember that I borrowed Zhu Shu's identity? Zhu Shu came here for her persecuted sister. Her sister was given to the city lord by Qie Yuan, but this matter I
I also asked Qiexiu, and although his memory has not been completely restored, he said that such a thing had never happened before."
"In fact, although it is said to the outside world that Qieyuan relied on the city lord as his backer to gain a foothold in Fuliu City, Qiexiu said that the city lord was a very weak person and did not dare to say anything to him, let alone ask Qiexiu to give him
It’s such a thing to offer a beautiful woman.”
Jukong's expression condensed. He took out a jade slip from his storage bag and placed it on the table. He said: "This is the intelligence collected by the most elite intelligence force I have collected. So far, they have not made any false reports.
However, the information you read was also produced by them, and I really don’t want to believe that they made a mistake.”
Chao Huan also looked serious. In these two completely different situations, what went wrong?
There was a bit of silence in the courtyard for a while. Lian Yunlan stood expressionless behind Zhou Kong Jinshen. Chao Huan's eyes moved from the tea cup in his hand to his face. After a long time, he spoke softly.
"Perhaps we should investigate the most beautiful woman in Fuliu City."
After discussing the plan with Zhou Kongjin for a long time, it was already afternoon before he knew it. Chao Huan touched his empty belly and realized that he was now a mortal who needed to eat at any time.
"Are you still used to living as a mortal?" Zhou Kongjin suddenly asked. After getting out of the heavy, complicated and calculating atmosphere just now, he began to care about his friends.
Chao Huan thought for a while and said: "It's not bad. After all, it has only been a few years since I started practicing, and I can still remember what I looked like when I was a mortal. It's just that my body seems not used to enduring hunger, and I can't sleep at night."
"hungry?"
"Well, I'm hungry." Chao Huan nodded honestly. She had no secrets in front of Ju Kong Jin. Her frank look made Ju Kong Jin, who wanted to see her joke, feel a little disappointed.
However, he still asked Lian Yunlan to go to the kitchen to cook. Lian Yunlan walked out towards the kitchen with an indifferent face. After a while, the sound of chopping vegetables came from inside.
Chao Huan was a little curious, so she looked around. Lian Yunlan closed the door, as if she didn't want to be spied on, but she didn't see anything.
Chao Huan sat back helplessly, looking at Ji Kongji who was drinking tea calmly, and suddenly became curious.
"You know he can cook."
"He learned it on his own. I took him with me when he was very young. I gave him some pills at first. When he grew up and was no longer fooled, I told him to learn it on his own if he wanted to eat."
Chao Huan suddenly thought of how little Lian Yunlan was crying out of hunger, while Zhou Kongjin on the other side told him with an indifferent look on his face to find something to eat.
She immediately shook her head, with a rebuke in her tone, "How heartless, you are his master."
Zhou Kong was so angry at her that he glanced at her sideways, "Do you think anyone can be more dedicated to his disciples than Yan Wuya? His survival is the greatest benefit of me being his master."
Even so, haven't you become a chess piece now? Used by the master, made into a puppet without his own feelings and memories...
Chao Huan suddenly felt heavy in her heart. She didn't say anything, she just pretended that nothing happened, but she couldn't continue talking about this topic.
Her eyes swept over the children standing in a row with blank faces, and her heart ached.
"What's wrong with the kids?"
"It's just that I'm under control temporarily. If there is a noise during the conversation, I can't guarantee that I won't take action." He suddenly thought of something, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said with a half-smile: "What? Are you feeling distressed?"
Chao Huan was silent.
Ji Kongjin immediately understood what she meant, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. He knew that Chao Huan was soft-hearted, but he didn't expect that he could have such true feelings for a few puppets.
So stupid, no wonder he was betrayed by his twin brother.
He thought casually, and what he said was also mean: "Don't take it seriously, they are just a few puppets. If you like them, I will leave them to you to play with in the future. But puppets are puppets after all, and they will never become flesh and blood."
of human beings.”
Chao Huanxin felt a sharp pain.
She closed her fingers into fists and dug her rounded nails into her palms. She did not let go even though there were bursts of stinging pain.
After a long while, she said softly: "Yes, I know."
When I first came here, there was nothing here.
Chao Huan looked at the dilapidated abandoned temple, looked up and saw a big hole in the roof, and his mood suddenly worsened.
"Do you really want to be here?" She was a little unsure. After all, the target had a special status and it was not someone who would come here.
"Of course." Juukong Jin was very indifferent. With a wave of his hand, a burst of spiritual power blew away the cobwebs in the ruined temple. He always hated this kind of insect. If it weren't for the plan, Juukong Jin would never come here.
local.
"But..." Chao Huan was still hesitant.
Jiukong did not explain too much, and gave Chao Huan his identity this time. Then he waved his hand again, and five child puppets appeared in the ruined temple.
Chao Huan asked curiously: "What is this?"
"I'm helping you disguise your identity. After all, a young girl living alone in a place like this is very suspicious. As for these children, they can disguise you as a gentle, kind and loving person."
"Are these puppets?"
Chao Huan squatted in front of a girl-like puppet and reached out to poke the puppet's face. The warm touch shocked her, as if it was a real human touch.
Jiukong nodded, "Yes, they are all puppets carefully prepared by me. Each puppet has a different life experience. I will inject memories into them. Don't reveal your secrets when the time comes."
"oh."
Chao Huan nodded and didn't say anything else. He just watched Ju Kong Jin activate the puppet.
In front of her, the five puppets slowly opened their eyes. From being at a loss at first to being full of dependence later, they were like real children, extremely kind to Chao Huan.
They called her: "Sister Shu." This chapter has been completed!
