A few days later... ..
Fei family.
The crescent moon was covered by black clouds from time to time, and there were rumbling sounds in the sky.
click.
A deep blue lightning flashed across the dark room, and the blue-white light dyed everything in the room pale.
Fei Bailing hugged the quilt and curled up on the bed, her whole body was shaking.
Since her younger sister Qingqing disappeared last time, she chased after her father and told her about it. Soon, Fei Qingqing appeared again the next day, as if nothing had happened, and continued to play with her.
Fei Bailing asked her what happened before, Qingqing also looked like she didn't know anything, which made her feel chilly.
And my father didn't know when, and he always had a smiling expression, as if his whole face had stiffened and solidified into a smiling face.
Not only him, but also the rest of the Fei family, always with a faint, chilling smile on their faces.
Fei Bailing once tried to leave the family house, but was immediately stopped by her younger sister who appeared at an unknown time.
Qingqing would always suddenly appear behind her, smiling coquettishly and beckoning her to let her play with her.
Unknowingly, Fei Bailing was always in a trance, and then gave up the idea of leaving and returned to the courtyard. After playing with her sister in a daze for a while, Qingqing disappeared again, not knowing where she went.
What frightened her the most was that every night, Fei's mansion would inexplicably fall into dead silence. Everyone gathered in the banquet hall to have a banquet, which was very lively.
But when Fei Bailing sneaked closer to take a peek, he realized that all the people at the banquet were wearing stiff smiles and mumbling something.
The voice seemed to be coming from a very far away, and she couldn't hear it clearly, even though it was not far away.
"Qingqing... Qingqing..." Fei Bailing hugged her knees and shed tears, calling her sister's name in a low voice.
"Sister... are you calling me again?" A bluish-white petite figure slowly came out from the darkness behind Fei Bailing.
"Do you want to play together?" Qingqing's voice came from behind Fei Bailing.
Fei Bailing's whole body froze immediately, and she turned her head slowly and stiffly.
Huh... ..!!!
There was nothing behind him, nothing. After she breathed a long sigh of relief, she couldn't help it even more, and buried her face in the quilt and burst into tears. But she dared not cry out, or call anyone's name.
During this period of time, the hallucinations of auditory hallucinations and visual hallucinations have made her physically and mentally exhausted and unable to cope.
She just wants to have a good rest and a good sleep, and hope that everything will be completely back to normal when she wakes up tomorrow morning.
After crying for a while, Fei Bailing lay down slowly, covered his head under the quilt, and curled up into a ball. She didn't dare to get close to the wall, and she didn't dare to get close to the end of the bed, for fear that something would suddenly stick out from all around.
Soon, she changed her posture again, laying her body flat in the middle as much as possible, making the quilt bulge into big bags, so that, from the outside, it looked like there was only a pile of unfolded quilts on the bed. Good quilt, but you can't see anyone sleeping on it.
She doesn't want people to know that she sleeps here, in this room. It feels much safer that way.
Just lying down like this, time passed slowly, unconsciously, Fei Bailing finally felt sleepy, her consciousness gradually became blurred, and she was about to fall asleep.
Boom boom boom.
Suddenly the door was knocked.
Fei Bailing shuddered all over, most of her sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and she didn't dare to move.
Boom boom boom.
There was another knock on the door. The voice was urgent and loud, as if something was really urgent.
Fei Bailing closed her eyes, trembling all over, trying to pretend that there was no one in the house,
But the knock on the door kept repeating, and it seemed that there was no intention of stopping at all.
"Maybe Mother and the others came to save me..." An inexplicable thought came out of her mind.
Finally, Fei Bailing got a little more courageous, and slowly lifted the quilt,
She took a deep breath, got out of bed quietly, walked behind the door, and peeked out through the keyhole secretly.
On the side of the keyhole the size of a grain of rice, there is just a dark hole specially used to peek outside. Fei Bailing carefully looked out from the dark hole.
There were people outside the door, and not just one, at least five or six of them. They are all wearing clothes of different colors and styles, the only thing in common is that the clothes are a little old.
Fei Bailing breathed a sigh of relief, finally this encounter has become normal, meeting people is better than meeting those weird things before. She had encountered several knocks on the door before, but there was no one outside.
Boom boom boom.
There was another knock on the door.
Fei Bailing raised his head and took a deep breath, and was about to ask the identity of the outsider.
Suddenly she felt something was wrong.
Let's not talk about these people coming to knock on the door so late, but why don't they communicate with each other at all? They didn't speak to each other, they just looked at the door neatly.
And most importantly, their... stances... are very stiff.
She lowered her head and peeked out of the dark hole.
Swish! !
Outside the dark hole, all five people bent down, looked in through the dark hole, and stared closely at Fei Bailing's eyes.
ah! !
She was so frightened that she yelled back suddenly and fell to the ground, dripping with cold sweat.
The room was empty, and there was no sound coming out.
Fei Bailing slowed down for a long time, then supported his body again, leaned over cautiously, and looked out from the dark hole.
There was no one to be seen outside.
She let out a long sigh of relief.
Boom boom boom! !
Suddenly, there was a sharp knocking sound from the window on the right.
Her hair was standing on end, she almost cried out, she turned her head to look.
Outside the window in between, the five figures from before stood neatly. Their shadows were projected by the moonlight and landed on the window paper, clearly visible.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom! ! !
The knocking sound became louder and denser.
ah! !
Fei Bailing yelled suddenly, straightened up, and jumped up from the bed.
She was dripping with sweat, and her underwear was soaked.
"I....I....!!?" Fei Bailing was short of breath, feeling like she was about to lose her breath. She looked in the bedroom, but there was no one there except her.
"Is it a dream again?" She couldn't tell which ones were dreams and which ones were reality.
Turning over and sitting up from the bed, she raised her head and subconsciously looked at the window, where the moonlight was shining on the branches outside, and the shadows of the branches on the window paper swayed slightly, and it was extremely silent.
"I can't go on like this..." Fei Bailing knew that something had happened to the Fei family. She couldn't keep deceiving herself like this. She must call for help!
After waiting for a long time, she got up and walked to the door. Just as she was about to open the door, she just heard soft footsteps coming from outside the door.
"Is there someone?" Fei Bailing was taken aback. It was so late. She looked at the clock on the table. It's time to fall asleep, why are there still footsteps outside
She thought for a while, held her breath, bent down quietly, and looked out from the dark hole next to the keyhole.
Immediately, five figures in old clothes came into view. Fei Bailing's breathing almost stopped, her expression was terrified and distorted, and she immediately remembered the scene in her dream just now.
'What to do? What to do? What to do! ! ? 'She felt impatient and panicked, but didn't know what to do.
Boom!
The courtyard door was suddenly pushed open.
Sima Xiu looked solemn, holding a short knife in one hand, looking around at the situation in the courtyard.
The abnormality of the Fei family was discovered after he received a strange blood letter asking for help. But what surprised him was that after he had read the blood book and was about to record it in Yin Yang Secretary's file, it disappeared strangely.
The person who called for help was a woman named Fei Bailing. According to the information obtained through the investigation, Fei Bailing was the third lady of the Fei family's direct lineage. She had no blood qualifications since she was a child, and she was just an ordinary person, unremarkable in the family. Nothing out of the ordinary.
But the blood book written by the third lady unexpectedly disappeared under the nose of him, the inspector of the Department of Yin and Yang.
As a huge public security organization in charge of tens of millions of people in the county city, there are hundreds of inspectors under the Yin Yang Division, and they are classified as ninth-rank officials. Logically speaking, he, Sima Xiu, was just an ordinary inspector in a nearby area. That bloody letter should never have fallen into his hands, but should have fallen into the hands of the inspector in charge of this area of Fei's house.
But what surprised Sima Xiu was that the blood book did fall into his hands, but what was strange was that he immediately reported it to the chief director, who also attached great importance to it, and planned to mobilize people to go to Fei's house to investigate, but In the blink of an eye, he left for a while, and half an hour passed.
When I went to see the director again, he seemed to have lost his memory and couldn't remember anything clearly.
Every time Sima Xiu thought of this, he felt chills in his heart. Director-General Who is that person? Earth element level powerhouse, a top powerhouse who stands at the peak of countless people.
Such a master would be affected so strangely, which shows how weird the blood book is.
Thinking of this, he looked back.
"Sure enough, no one came."
Outside the side courtyard of Fei's house, there was only him alone, and none of the Sizhong's subordinates who had made an appointment to investigate the truth together did not show up.
Even among the few who were most loyal to him, none of them came. Probably like the chief director, he forgot about it in a blink of an eye.
The degree of weirdness of this incident has somewhat exceeded Sima Xiu's expectations. On the one hand, he tried to send news and warnings to the upper echelons he could contact, hoping to attract the attention of the big shots, on the other hand, he could often hear Fei Bailing's pitiful cry in his sleep.
After several days like this, he finally couldn't bear it and came to Fei's house alone.
Standing at the gate of Fei's compound, the courtyard was covered with gray mist, the outline of the building looming in the darkness, and it was silent. It was so quiet that it made one's heart shudder.
Sima Xiu took a deep breath and no longer thought about the support of others. He joined the Onmyoji Division in the first place just to prevent the tragedy of that year from happening again.
"So... why am I still hesitating?" He thought of his sister. If he had been able to arrive at the accident that year without hesitation, he might have been able to prevent the tragedy from happening.
It's a pity that he hesitated, he was afraid... .
"I've already hesitated once." Sima Xiu recalled the oath he made when he joined the Onmyoji Division. A trace of determination suddenly appeared on the handsome woman's face.
He raised his foot, and suddenly stepped across the threshold, knife in hand.
Snapped. The black leather boots stepped on the ground, splashing fine white ash to the sides.
His slender figure slowly disappeared into Fei's house.
creak...
A gust of wind blew by, and the courtyard door slowly closed, as if blown shut by the wind.
Chi!
In the middle of the courtyard, Lu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of gold flashed in his pupils.
"There are impurities in the essence." He frowned.
If it was an ordinary master, he might not be able to notice the changes in the spirit in the city, but he was different. On the surface, although he is only a true disciple of the Ju-level, his body is the peak demon king with great magic skills, and he is extremely sensitive to changes in energy and essence.
"The impurities came from a large house in the back." He quickly located the source.
The big house in the back seems to be owned by a rich family named Fei.
Lu Sheng closed his eyes again, "Forget it, anyway, I don't care much about the environment."
Take a deep breath again, and continue to pour in a breath of energy. With stench and gritty impurities.
Lu Sheng paused for a moment.
Opening his eyes again, he stood up.
"Tomorrow, all the surrounding residents will be cleared. Anyone who dares to live in within a radius of two hundred meters will be killed!"
Boom!
He turned and went into the bedroom, and went to sleep.
