I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 63: Sneaking into the thieves’ den, Li Mu angrily burned the “Art of Hidden Blade”.

Seeing this, Li Mu's red eyes were tinged with violence. He pushed open the wooden door and his figure instantly appeared above the two men.

Before the two men could react, several sword shadows flashed by, and the limbs of the two men were cut off.

The two men who heard the noise had not even had time to turn around to check before their bodies slipped off the woman.

Afterwards, Li Mu tapped the ground with one foot and glanced in the direction where he had identified the other two people before. Seeing that there was indeed a wooden door, he dodged and jumped towards the door.

However, just as Li Mu approached the wooden door, the seemingly heavy door suddenly shattered, wood chips flew in all directions, and a long knife with a cold glow, accompanied by a sharp sound, went straight to Li Mu's face.

However, Li Mu had already anticipated the scene before him. Facing the long sword, he did not dodge or evade, but a flash of sword appeared in his hand.

There was a muffled groan from the other side, and the arm holding the long knife flew out instantly. Li Mu grabbed the back of the knife with his left hand and threw it into the door together with the broken arm.

With a scream, the other arm of the figure inside the door was broken. The originally angry expression turned into fear, and he turned around and ran away.

Li Mu rushed into the door without hesitation and looked in the direction where the figure escaped. It turned out to be an upward tunnel, which should lead to the ground.

So he dodged and chased into the tunnel, and the next moment, a heart-wrenching scream was heard in the tunnel.

Afterwards, Li Mu walked out of the tunnel slowly, holding a long sword in one hand and dragging the man's last remaining leg with the other.

However, the violence in Li Mu's eyes did not subside, and his gaze swept towards the shivering girl in the corner.

The girl must have just been abducted. There were no obvious scars on her body and her clothes were intact.

Li Mu saw that the girl was about the same age as Xiao Zhao, and his anger was even more difficult to calm down. He shouted,

"go out!"

Hearing this, the girl felt as if she had been pardoned and staggered out the door.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll give you whatever you want, I have a secret book, yes, a secret book, the secret to becoming an immortal, ah~"

The man on the ground saw Li Mu's murderous figure, endured the severe pain, and roared for mercy.

Seeing the girl leave, Li Mu dropped the sword in his hand, smashed the table beside him with a palm, bent down to pick up the table leg, and without hearing the words from the man, raised his hand and hit the man in the face.

The room was suddenly filled with the man's screams and pleas for mercy, but Li Mu turned a deaf ear to them. His movements became stronger and stronger, and soon the man could no longer utter a single sound.

But Li Mu's hands continued to move, and instead became even more frantic. As the wooden stick in his hand broke, Li Mu raised his hand again and paused slightly.

Then he threw away the remaining half of the stick, clenched his fists, and continued to punch down one after another.

"That's enough, sir. He's already dead."

At this moment, a warm voice sounded in Li Mu's ears, and his body was hugged from behind. He felt softness from behind, and the unique fragrance of Zhao Chuyi entered Li Mu's nostrils.

Li Mu raised his fist again, and it remained in the air for a long time before slowly falling down. He gently patted the soft hair folded in front of his chest, and exhaled a long breath in a calm tone.

"I didn't ask you to wait outside."

Hearing Li Mu's voice, Zhao Chuyi's body trembled noticeably. She retracted her hand as if she had received an electric shock, took two steps back in panic, and said calmly:

"Just now a girl ran out and told us about the situation here. Miss Doudou couldn't wait any longer, so we came in first."

"Come on, go out and see."

Li Mu stood up, smiled at Zhao Chuyi, and walked out the door.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Li Mu frowned. The two women who had been bullied before were obviously no longer angry.

Li Mu turned his head and looked at Xu Doudou beside him with an inquiring look.

At this time, there were four women standing trembling behind Xu Doudou. They should be the only survivors in the room.

Three of them had different scars on their bodies.

Xu Doudou saw Li Mu's gaze, knew what Li Mu meant, and said:

"You cut off the hands and feet of those two people, and then bit their throats."

He said, looking at the two dead women.

"They must have killed the two men and then scratched their throats with their fingernails, committing suicide."

Li Mu did not dare to look at the bodies of the two women again. He felt a little depressed for a moment. He felt so high-spirited when he entered the tunnel, but now he felt so unwilling.

After a moment of silence, his tone became slightly depressed.

"Feel sorry."

Xu Doudou looked at Li Mu with some doubt.

"You are such a strange person."

He patted Li Mu's shoulder and pointed at the women behind him.

"You saved them. You are their benefactor. Why should you apologize?"

Li Mu subconsciously wanted to look at the bodies of the two women nearby, but he held back.

Xu Doudou naturally understood what Li Mu meant. He walked around Li Mu, looked him up and down, and said with a smile:

"Are all you scholars like this? You punished the evildoers and saved their lives, yet you still say sorry."

He pointed to the dead body of a woman nearby.

"Their deaths have nothing to do with you."

Hearing this, Li Mu felt much more comfortable in his heart, and laughed at himself:

"Indeed, I think too highly of myself."

Xu Doudou had never heard of such a strange metaphor, and burst out laughing. Then he approached Li Mu and asked suspiciously:

"In fact, you wanted to save people from the beginning."

Li Mu shrugged but did not answer.

"Just deny it. You seem to have an inexplicable obsession with letting the government handle this matter."

"There's nothing wrong with that!"

Hearing this, Zhao Chuyi spoke with some indignation.

Xu Doudou chuckled and looked at the woman behind him, meaning, "Will they still be alive when the government comes?"

Zhao Chuyi understood what Xu Doudou meant, and didn't know how to refute it for a moment, then she saw Xu Doudou clasping his hands and saying:

"Anyway, thank you both for your help. I'll take them back now."

Hearing this, Li Mu pointed to the house behind him.

"There is a secret passage inside. I don't know where it leads to. Moreover, there are many female corpses in the secret passage."

Xu Doudou pointed at one of the women.

"The top is outside the city. She was brought in from here."

Li Mu nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, Xu Doudou, who had walked to the tunnel entrance, turned and looked at Li Mu.

"I will report this place to the police. After all, having a tunnel like this connecting the city is not a trivial matter. As for whether it will be useful, I don't know."

As he spoke, Xu Doudou pulled out the torch from the wall and left with the four women without saying a word.

Li Mu turned his head and looked at Zhao Chuyi beside him.

"Let's go too. When Shanshan wakes up, she might think I've sneaked her daughter away."

"Do you think this is the Taoist method?"

Zhao Chuyi ignored Li Mu's teasing, squatted aside, looked at the bamboo slips spread out on the ground and asked.

Li Muxin said

"How would I know? I'm not a real Taoist priest."

But he still walked towards Zhao Chuyi.

After seeing the contents on the bamboo slips clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted. He picked up the bamboo slips on the ground and read them over and over again.

After being completely sure, Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and cursed in his heart,

"'Hidden Blade Technique'! Oh my god, no wonder Li Ling'er disdains this technique. It's such a common thing that this whorehouse even has it."

Then he thought of the words that the old Taoist priest gave him that day at Prince Yan's Mansion, which was about this "Art of Concealing the Sharp Edge".

"Heh, the name is similar to the study materials on my hard drive."

"Hey, why did you get burned?"

Zhao Chuyi looked at Li Mu in confusion, wondering why Li Wu did this.

"It's not a serious thing. Most of these women were killed because of this thing."

While Li Mu was burning the bamboo slips in his hand, he took out the bamboo slips in his arms and lit them while Zhao Chuyi was not paying attention.

When Zhao Chuyi heard what Li Mu said, although she didn't understand what he meant, she didn't want to bother about it. She picked up the torch beside her and walked back the way she came.

When he reached the door, he paused, turned his head and looked at Li Mu, his eyes rested on Li Mu's hand, and pursed his lips.

"Hurry up, go ahead."

As he spoke, he raised the torch to his chest and motioned Li Mu to take it.
