Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 216 Chapter 215: Raging Waves
"Can someone tell me what's going on?"

Obviously, these were just ordinary words, but when they reached everyone's ears, they were like a cold wind in winter, freezing them to the bone, making people want to shiver.

Zhao Anshi wanted to temporarily withdraw from the current scene because this matter had nothing to do with him. On the contrary, if he accidentally heard something he shouldn't hear, it would only cause trouble for himself.

He took a step back and was about to leave.

But just at this moment, a tall-legged strong man from Qingyun Village came out from behind the crowd, grabbing a man's collar with one hand.

The long-legged sturdy man's eyes turned red with anger, and his big hands tightly grasped the man, and no matter how the other party resisted, he could not break free.

"Let me go. I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you arresting me?"

Yang Qi excitedly punched the long-legged strong man, but his fists were as weak as cotton when hitting the other person.

Lin Beixuan tilted his head slightly to look at Yang Qi who was struggling hard. He had an impression of this man. He was one of the three people including Su Hongying.

"Commander-in-chief, some villagers who managed to survive told me that they saw this man leading the monster here."

Because of his anger, the long-legged strong man even forgot what the dog-skin Taoist had told him to do, that is, to call Lin Beixuan "village chief" in front of outsiders.

"..."

Yang Qi paused in beating the long-legged sturdy man, and then immediately defended himself: "You are talking nonsense. What does this have to do with me? I am also a victim. I just came to this hillside to enjoy the scenery."

“Enjoying the view?”

Lin Beixuan stared into Yang Qi's eyes, but saw that the other party's look was calm, as if it was really as he said, and had nothing to do with this matter.

Is it really just a coincidence that the starving ghost suddenly appeared here?
But the villagers would not lie because there was no need to do so, and the blame was directed at this person.

Lin Beixuan frowned, squatted in front of Yang Qi, and put his hand on the other's shoulder, like a brother next door, but the words he said were spine-chilling.

"If you lie to me, you will die miserably."

The deep eyes were like a deep, dark, bottomless lake, as if there was a monster trying to drag people in.

"I... I didn't lie to you, really." Yang Qi felt a chill in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and denied it.

"very good!"

Lin Beixuan didn't say anything else to him. He stood up, as if he was really going to let him go.

"Commander-in-chief, you shouldn't believe his one-sided words!" The long-legged strong man said anxiously: "I believe Xiaohua, she won't lie."

Some villagers who were watching could not help but speak out at this time.

They have now gradually begun to trust Lin Beixuan, the new commander-in-chief, but the matter has not been investigated clearly yet, and no matter what, they should not let the other party go so easily.

You know, these outsiders won't stay long and will leave. If they let the real murderer get away, what will happen to those innocent women and children who died?

However, Lin Beixuan waved his hands at them, signaling them not to worry, just like a fierce and murderous boss in a gang.

"Who said I was going to let him go like this? Not until the matter is fully investigated."

"Don't even think about leaving."

His eyes swept across the strange people in Qingyun Village and finally landed on Zhao Anshi.

When their eyes met, Zhao Anshi felt as if he was in a world of ice and snow.

Lin Beixuan took out the Fushou pipe and took a puff from the mouthpiece. The injuries he had suffered in the previous battle with the Taoqian were healing rapidly with the help of the Fushou pipe and his own powerful recovery ability.

"Li Lu!"

As the words fell, a mouse with purple fur and a tuft of black hair on its head suddenly crawled out of Lin Beixuan's pocket.

"master!"

After Li Lu Rat came out, he glanced at Zhao Anshi and the other strange people in Qingyun Village, and then bowed respectfully to Lin Beixuan. Among the five rats, Li Lu Rat was the most disciplined.

Just like its name, fame, wealth and power cannot escape the court and cannot break free from the constraints of rules.

Before it became Kong Yunsou's subordinate, it was already an intelligent rat demon in the home of a high-ranking official in the imperial court. Influenced by the official atmosphere every day, it naturally learned the court official's shrewd calculations.

It didn't even need Lin Beixuan's instructions, it already knew what to do.

When everyone saw Lin Beixuan summon a rat spirit, they were a little confused.

Does this rat spirit have anything to do with this investigation?
But with the next scene, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

The rat demon walked up to Yang Qi like a human, its body gradually swelled up until it became as big as a calf, with a thin layer of purple air lingering around it.

The purple air gathered in front of a sharp claw it stretched out, as if a layer of flowing air cone was coated on the claw shell.

Yang Qi felt something was wrong when he saw this, but before he could make any move, the claw of the Li Lu Rat swiftly pierced his temple.

puff...

There was the sound of claws digging into flesh, but no blood splattered.

Yang Qi's pupils dilated rapidly, and his whole body seemed to be immobilized, unable to move, and he could only let Li Lu Rat do whatever he wanted.

When the people around saw this scene, they all couldn't help but feel a tightness in their hearts.

If the claw is poked in, won’t he die?
However, the next second, Li Lu Rat pulled out its claws, and on the sharp and slightly curved tip of the claws, there was a ball of invisible fire.

People have three souls: heaven, earth and life. The heaven soul controls destiny, the earth soul controls itinerary and the life soul controls memory. What the Li Lu Rat takes out is the life soul that represents memory.

As long as you check the soul, you will naturally know what Yang Qi was doing before.

This magical power itself consumes a lot of energy, so Li Lu Rat cannot trace back too far and can only check the memory within a few hours.

But that's enough.

Li Lu Rat placed the flame on the tip of his claws on his hand. As the flame burned, a vague scene could be seen vaguely.

That was a fragment of Yang Qi's previous memory, and everything he had done before was also reflected in everyone's eyes.

The starving ghost was led to the child who was picking wild vegetables. The collapsed mother pushed the child away and put herself in the mouth of the starving ghost. Some people stood up to resist but their bodies were torn apart in the end...

The blood dyed the picture red, as if it overflowed from the memory.

"It sure is him!"

"I'm going to kill this bastard and avenge the dead!"

"We can't just kill him so easily. We need to imprison him and torture him to a point where his life is worse than death."

……

After reading Yang Qi's memories, fire almost burst from the eyes of the people in Qingyun Village. Veins bulged on their necks, their fists creaked, and their hearts, which had been suppressed for a long time, were completely ignited at this moment.

The village that had taken several years to build was destroyed, and the commander-in-chief and several other commanders died in order to cover their escape.

Until now, the women and children in the family have become the last bond for this group of remaining young and strong strangers.

But now, it's all gone.

The beloved woman and child died tragically at the claws of the monster, and even a commander was sacrificed.

When the last bit of bond in one's heart is ruthlessly torn apart, and collapse accumulates to a certain extent, despair is like an abyss, and one cannot survive even after struggling. Then what is stirred up will be a tidal wave that has the potential to turn the world upside down.
