The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 164: Strange Things in the Theater (12)

Everyone figured it out in silence. Xiaoli was Su Miaoying's daughter who saved her from disaster.

Su Miaoying glanced at the fortune teller next to her, hatred in her eyes: "You lousy fortune tellers, how can you decide someone's life or death with just one sentence? On what basis?"

"It is better to believe it than not to believe it." The fortune teller looked outside the inn calmly and said leisurely, "As far as I know, most businessmen are blinded by greed. They hire killers for money and deceive the world for fame. As the law of nature goes, over time, if you do too many bad things, you will naturally be tainted with evil spirits. This is what people call 'retribution'. It is not uncommon for rich people to use money to avoid disasters. What is a girl who can save you from disasters in your eyes?"

At this time, Gong Yu, the second stinking fortune teller in the inn, also echoed: "In short, self-discipline and moral cultivation are the root of exorcising evil and avoiding disasters."

Mu Hanxing agreed with what his beloved minister said and nodded. When he looked at Su Miaoying again, he thought that since she hated fortune-telling so much, she would be furious and retort, but he didn't expect that she would be silent at this moment.

"So, is it because you are plagued by bad luck that you can hear the ghost girl's laughter?" Feng Xiao continued to ask.

Su Miaoying nodded: "I... maybe because of this bad fate, I have been prone to attracting evil spirits since I was a child. Sometimes I can hear their voices, and I even have nightmares suddenly. The dreams are too real, as if someone is tightly pinching my neck, making it difficult for me to breathe. Many times..."

At this point, Su Miaoying recalled her past memories. A wave of sadness surged in her heart. She choked and burst into tears again: "I don't know what it is, but I know that if I don't wake up, I will die. But every time it was the maid beside me who woke me up, so I can live until now... Xiaoli... Xiaoli..."

Feng Xiao saw that she didn't seem to be acting. Perhaps last night, this woman named Su Miaoying really wanted her maid to leave the city first.

"One of the ghost arts is the nightmare technique." Jingchen said solemnly.

Mu Hanxing was stunned and looked at him: "Have you heard of it?"

Jing Chen nodded, "I understand. Miss Su, you don't have to feel guilty yet. Nightmare magic is a kind of illusion practiced by evil spirits. It can make people have nightmares and kill people in dreams. It can also make people have hallucinations that are indistinguishable from reality when they are awake, thus falling into illusions without knowing it. Your maid was probably forced to leave the inn last night because of hallucinations. I also looked at the place where the body was found. It happened to be a place where the light at the door of the inn could not reach."

Everyone was horrified.

Su Miaoying opened her mouth but said nothing. In the final analysis, Xiaoli died because of her. When she was a few years old, Xiaoli was brought by her family to help her survive. Her family had instilled in her that she must serve and take care of her master for her entire life. She had no self, no life, and only her master was by her side. When her master was happy, she was happy. When her master was sad, she was sad too. Living was no different from being dead...

Little Pear is like a lifeless doll.

The hallucination that forced her to leave the inn... could only be that she encountered danger outside the inn... It has always been like this. Whenever she is in trouble, Xiaoli will rush to the front to protect her at all costs.

Su Miaoying covered her face and sobbed bitterly.

Seeing that several hours had passed in the daytime, Mu Hanxing didn't want to waste any more time, so he told Jingchen: "You stay and continue to investigate and read the scrolls of Xicheng. The others and I will act according to the original plan and find the center of the formation as soon as possible so that everyone can leave safely. Without further ado, I will leave first."

Jingchen said respectfully, "Yes."

So, several people continued to act according to what they had agreed on last night.

Chuntao went outside the inn to find food and water for everyone. Fengxiao went to test the password to leave the city. She and Gongyu looked for the center of the formation, and the rest of the people stayed on standby in the inn.

She first found a tall building in the city, then used light Kung Fu to jump to the roof in two or three steps, and overlooked the whole city from the eaves. The divisions were clear and orderly. The east, west, south and north markets were all "bustling", and there was no way to see where the "missing corners" in the formation were in the entire city.

Gong Yu accompanied her to use the magic tool to search by area, and continued to observe the distribution of wellheads. However, the whole city was so huge that it required patience to search. Maybe, as Feng Xiao said, in ancient times, each city here was a country with its own political power.

There is an obvious high platform in the central area of ​​the entire city, which is surrounded by dark cloth. It seems that people are not allowed to enter casually. Could it be that the stage is?

"Gong Yu, let's go take a look around the stage." Mu Hanxing suddenly had an idea and started walking towards the center.

Gong Yu followed her and reminded her, "City Lord, I was afraid that if I got too close to the stage, the guards would find me and think that we were going to watch the show without an invitation, so I never went that direction."

"It's okay. Let's check along the perimeter first. Be careful."

Then the two men began to measure and search for a well not far from the city center.

In the evening, as Mu Hanxing had expected, the closer to the center of the city, the fewer wells there were, and most of the wells were dead, without a drop of water in them. She thought about it and concluded that if there was no water at the wells, it meant that there was no mirror and no light to kill the yang energy. There was a high possibility that there was an array eye with extremely heavy yin energy within this circle!

"City Lord, that's great, we've locked the range!" Gong Yu was overjoyed, his eyes full of reverence.

"Well, we can't go in rashly now. It's getting late. We have to hurry back to Ziyun Inn." Mu Hanxing said cautiously.

"Okay!" Gong Yu has always been very obedient and would never disobey the city lord's orders.

When everyone reunited in the inn, Feng Xiao saw her coming back and first dragged her into the room for a private chat, which made Jing Chen and Gong Yu look at her coldly, but they dared not say anything.

Seeing this, Mu Hanxing knew that Feng Xiao had probably figured it out, so she asked quietly, "Did he figure it out?"

"Yes." Feng Xiao said truthfully, "Su Miaoying and the one called Susu came to my room last night. They wanted a second password to leave the city. I had originally discussed with Su Miaoying and asked her to tell me more about the Lan family, but she didn't leave with me today, so I wanted to ask the city lord, if you want to leave first, I will give it to you."

This sincerity is precious. She now feels that Feng Xiao... well, is not bad either.

She shook her head. "I'm sure I won't leave, but I'm glad you're the first one to ask me."

Knowing that she would make this decision, Feng Xiao was happy in her heart. She really had not changed and would not become selfish and heartless just because she was facing a crisis.

"Then City Lord, you make the decision on who should go out first." Feng Xiao flattered whenever he got the chance. He didn't care who went out first. In that case, let the City Lord decide.

For the first time, she actually had the power to control other people's life and death.
