Half a month later.
At night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the cold wind is howling.
In early winter, the temperature was already very low, and the cold wind added a bit of coldness and depression to the night.
Nie Xingping was walking on the quiet road, and the cold wind blew past, making him shrank his neck, and it also made his feverish brain gradually calm down.
Thinking of the note of unknown origin that he received today, Nie Xingping, who had calmed down, couldn't help feeling a bad premonition, even a little bit of regret, feeling that he should go back immediately instead of going to that place for the appointment.
However, Nie Xingping couldn't just turn around and leave when he thought of the other party's message, saying that he could help him snatch Nie Jie's puppet.
He had been staring at that puppet for half a month!
Every time Nie Xingping thought of the battle half a month ago, and of the agility of that puppet, Nie Xingping felt hot in his heart, and his desire to get it became stronger.
But, how to capture a puppet with an owner
It's very simple, just kill its original owner.
Of course, it is not necessary to kill, but if the connection between the master and the puppet is forcibly severed, the master will suffer extremely heavy damage, and even in this life, he will not be able to inject a new puppet.
Nie Xingping has been thinking of letting Nie Jie die since he hit Xia Liang's idea, but with his own ability, he couldn't kill Nie Jie. Dare to do it.
However, sometimes, the more greedy you are, the more you can't get something, the more paranoid you are about that thing in your heart, and the more you want to get it.
Therefore, although Nie Xingping didn't dare to kill Nie Jie, his desire to get Xia Liang became more and more serious day by day.
Finally, in the evening of this day, Nie Xingping returned to his room and found a note on his desk.
It said that he could help him kill Nie Jie and give him Nie Jie's puppet, as long as Nie Xingping promised the other party to complete one thing. For the specific plan, ask him to meet at Feng Wan Pavilion tonight and discuss in detail.
Seeing this, Nie Xingping decided to go to the appointment without thinking too much about his strong desire to get Xia Liang.
He thought, the person who wrote this note must be Nie Jie's enemy, just like him, he wanted Nie Jie to die. As for why the other party knew what he was thinking, Nie Xingping didn't think too much about it.
Greed and longing made his not very clever and meticulous mind even more difficult to use.
As the night became darker and the cold wind blew harder, Nie Xingping quickened his pace and directed his puppets to speed up together.
After a while, he rushed to Fengwan Pavilion and found that there was no one there.
After waiting in the cold wind for a quarter of an hour, Nie Xingping became very impatient, and anger ignited in his heart. He felt that he must have been tricked by someone!
In the middle of the night, I asked him to come to an appointment, but he didn't show up.
Stamping his feet coldly and letting out a sigh of relief, Nie Xingping was ready to leave angrily.
However, just as he turned around, he saw two figures gradually walking out of the darkness in front of him.
"Who are you?" Nie Xingping yelled angrily, "Call me, and you're playing me for showing up so late!"
"Idiot." A cold voice sounded.
Hearing this voice, Nie Xingping turned pale with fright. He stretched out his hand, pointed to the front, and said with trembling lips, "Nie...Nie Jie, how could it be you?!"
Nie Jie curled his lips ironically, and didn't speak any more, but just walked forward, slowly approaching Nie Xingping, Xia Liang followed him step by step.
"It's you! It's you who tricked me into coming here, what are you going to do?!" Nie Xingping suddenly understood everything and shouted in horror.
"Kill you." Nie Jie said without any ups and downs. In the cold and dark night, this tone, like the god of death, is frightening.
Nie Xingping's eyes widened in horror. He didn't even have the thought of resisting, so he ran away, and at the same time drove his puppet to block for him for a while.
The moment Nie Xingping ran away, Nie Jie and Xia Liang also moved!
With a flash of Xia Liang's figure, he immediately stopped the puppet and wrestled with it.
And Nie Jie ran forward quickly, easily caught up with Nie Xingping, who was single-minded and commanding the puppet, and threw a punch, knocking him to the ground.
While blocking Nie Jie's attack, Nie Xingping also used his own puppet to stop Xia Liang. After several fights, he was about to be defeated.
However, at this time, he discovered something that surprised him very much.
Different from his double-mindedness, Nie Jie, who beat him, only looked back occasionally, almost concentrating on attacking himself.
"You...you're not commanding the puppets at all, are you?!" Nie Xingping suddenly had a flash of inspiration and roared in surprise.
At this time, his slightly sharp voice seemed very harsh in the silent night.
Such a discovery made him tremble with excitement, and he now understands that Xia Liang is likely to be a puppet of inheritance above the ground level, which is a hundred times more precious than he imagined before!
However, after the excitement, there was fear. Nie Xingping saw Nie Jie in the darkness with glints in his eyes. He grinned at him with a sinister grin, then took out the dagger in his arms, and stabbed it fiercely into his heart!
"ah!"
Nie Xingping opened his eyes wide in pain, and uttered his last low cry before dying.
After confirming that Nie Xingping was dead, Nie Jie slowly pulled out the dagger to prevent himself from being splashed by his dirty blood.
The puppet without the master's command also stopped attacking. After Xia Liang kicked it over, it came to Nie Jie's side.
Now without Xia Liang's request, Nie Jie took the initiative to hug her up and wanted to take her away together.
"Wait a minute." Xia Liang said in a low voice.
"What?" Nie Jie asked.
"Let me see if there is anything that is not good for the master." Xia Liang twisted her body, got off Nie Jie's body, and said.
In the previous world, forensic medicine investigated many cases. For this kind of murder scene, Xia Liang always looked for evidence and clues habitually.
Of course, at this time, they are doing the opposite, carefully examining and destroying these clues.
Because of her meticulousness, Nie Jie curled his lips into a smile, and let her bend down to examine carefully, while he himself looked around. Suddenly, the smile on Nie Jie's mouth disappeared, and his expression became extremely solemn.
In the distance, in a blink of an eye, he just saw a flash of cold light, which soon disappeared.
However, Nie Jie didn't think it was because he was dazzled.
Stepping forward, picking up Xia Liang, Nie Jie ran towards that place quickly, feeling more and more uneasy in his heart!
The praying mantis catches the cicada, the oriole follows behind, and this time, I actually become that praying mantis!
