"I was on the way to find Huozhen, and I was trapped in a very dirty place by Qiuyuan," Xiaolan held Jasmine's arm and murmured as she walked, "So I think the problem must be with Huozhen."
"Are you saying that Huo Zhenya is just like Huo Simao and the others, but they are still fighting?" Jasmine asked.
Jasmine quickly recovered, but Xiaolan vaguely felt something was different.
It seems...more magnanimous than before.
"I was wondering if Huo Zhen was the one who did it."
"Why Huo Zhen? What's different about him?" Jasmine frowned, "Is it because he is still trying to maintain his humanity?"
"He didn't get lost so quickly. He must have his reasons." Xiaolan was not too sure. "This may be what makes him special."
Jasmine did not deny it, but instead asked, "How are we going to explain it to our real sister-in-law?"
I was worried that Xiaolan, a four-year-old child, would be kicked out by her real sister-in-law. Now that I think about it, adding Xia Meng, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, does not seem to have a big impact on the ending.
If you don't make a good excuse, there's a high chance that the two of them will be cleared away together.
After all, the real sister-in-law is a beautiful girl who dares to be tough even when asking for help.
When they were approaching the bamboo courtyard of Huozhen's house, bursts of noise reached their ears.
The noise seemed to come from Huozhen's house.
The two looked at each other and ran over quickly. Xiaolan hugged Jasmine and opened the courtyard door. Without much hesitation, she pushed the door open.
"Brother Zhen... I'll call the mage. I'll beg the mage and let them save you..."
The real sister-in-law's cries echoed in the back room, not far from the closed Huozhen room that several people saw last time.
There were sounds of scuffles and growls.
Is the real sister-in-law in danger?
Although it is hard to imagine, the real sister-in-law is just a girl after all.
"Brother Zhen... The mage is not a bad person. How can the mage be a bad person?..."
The real sister-in-law's tone sounds a bit strange.
The real sister-in-law from last time, even though she was full of love and tenderness when talking about her husband, she could not hide her crispness in her heart.
But these words, although the voice is consistent with the real sister-in-law, the tone is not the same.
The two of them ran over and were about to rush into the room when a shrill scream came from the room.
Then there was another scream.
The first sound belongs to a woman, and the second sound comes from a man.
Not good.
Xiaolan pushed open the door with a "dong" sound.
What came face to face was a wisp of bright red spreading to his feet.
"Ah!—Ah!..."
Huo Zhen roared in collapse.
Looking forward, the woman was like a broken piece of cream-red velvet, curled up in a pool of blood.
The real sister-in-law hugged her abdomen, blood was pouring out from the corners of her lips and from under her body. The only movement of her body was the continuous slight twitching. There was only air coming out of her mouth but no air coming in. Her snow-white skin color turned gray visibly to the naked eye.
Xiaolan and Jasmine were shocked.
Is... was it really made by fire?
Huozhen's screams continued. Xiaolan raised her eyes and saw that he was holding his head tightly. Against the background of the blood, Huozhen's desperate eyes actually showed a dazzling bright red.
What's more important is that the long and sharp red nails on the hands holding the head are clearly crossed.
But this red color is different from Huo Si Mao's nails. This red color is more like dyeing, fresh blood is still flowing on it, and the original pink color of the nails can be vaguely seen under the blood.
Moreover, if Huo Si Mao's nails hurt someone, there would be no blood.
Fire is really different.
In other words, it's because the fire has just begun...
"What did you do?!" Jasmine yelled at Huozhen who was screaming.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huozhen's cry suddenly ended.
Before the two of them could react, Huo Zhen moved like flying, but instead of heading towards the two of them, he crashed directly into the small window halfway up the wall.
"Crack! - Wow..."
Glass and wood chips flew everywhere, and Huozhen disappeared in front of the two people in just a moment.
Xiaolan first pounced on the real sister-in-law who was covered in blood.
Sure enough, a long gash was opened on the real sister-in-law's abdomen, and the internal organs bloomed like roses. The wound turned white and curled up, and blood mixed with white foam poured out from her lips. The real sister-in-law narrowed her eyes slightly and watched.
There was no breath.
"Is there any hope?" Jasmine grabbed the real sister-in-law's wrist and explored it.
Xiaolan touched her carotid artery and shook her head, "It was too fast, she was already dead."
Huozhen has been holding on, but the fact that he killed his wife with his own hands completely destroyed him. He collapsed, degenerated, and became the final murderer.
"Could that arrow last time be Huozhen..."
Halfway through her words, Jasmine suddenly saw something in the corner, and Xiaolan also cast her gaze towards it.
"It seems...it's him." Xiaolan slowly stood up and watched Jasmine walk towards the bamboo basket standing in the corner.
In the bamboo basket, there are bamboo arrows cut from yellow bamboo.
Everything seemed to be falling into place.
only……
There's something else that's not quite right.
"You noticed it too, right?" Jasmine said, turning to look at Xiaolan.
Xiaolan nodded, "In the last world, the real sister-in-law appeared on the night of the ritual."
Could it be that there is any difference between the two worlds?
Suddenly there was a series of crackling sounds at the door.
Someone?!
"Real brother?" A loud and crisp call came out.
This is!
The two men turned back sharply.
The cold feeling was like a box of sharp needles, suddenly thrown at the two of them.
The pool of blood, the corpse, and the internal organs were missing.
The ground is empty.
And that voice approaching anxiously is that of the real sister-in-law!
"Zhila——"
"You...why are you here?!" The real sister-in-law was still wearing the fiery red shirt, standing at the door of the room, sweating profusely, "Where is the real brother? You...where did the real brother go?"
What the hell is going on?
The real sister-in-law was so furious that she was about to get mad at the two of them. Xiaolan knew that now was not the time to explain things clearly, not to mention that she didn't even understand the situation, so she immediately grabbed Jasmine's hand and ran out of the door.
"Stop!" the real sister-in-law chased after her.
The two ran faster. Jasmine reacted, grabbed Xiaolan with her backhand, and ran with all her strength. She circled the silent farmhouse several times before she was sure that she had gotten rid of the real sister-in-law behind her.
"What's going on?" Jasmine let go of Xiaolan's hand, panting, "Just now... I'm sure it was..."
"I'm sure she's dead. After the body completely disappeared, she reappeared."
Resurrection from the dead?
Could it be another phenomenon in this strange world?
"But she seems to have no idea what happened," Jasmine said. "Has she been resurrected and the memory just now is gone?"
Xiaolan suddenly thought of something, "Oh, Huo Zhen doesn't know that the real sister-in-law is still alive. Where will he be now?"
Moreover, the crazy fire will really kill the madam. Could it be that he thinks the madam has done something to him?
The village chief’s birthday…
"Madam must have known that Huozhen killed her a long time ago..."
"The madam herself may also know what the other personality did to them."
So when she saw Zhen's sister-in-law coming to the ritual site alone to look for something, Madam knew that Huo Zhen must be preparing to take action.
