After hearing my voice, the whole court went crazy

Xicheng District is the general public area of ​​Kyoto. The Yanliu River runs through it and is famous for its beautiful scenery. It often attracts literati, talented men and beautiful women to come here for an outing, enjoy the river, or even cruise on the river.

But now it is winter, the river has frozen, the trees on both sides are bare, and there is a thick layer of snow and even ice crystals hanging on the trees, which sparkle in the sunlight.

There are also several plum trees dotted among them, creating a beautiful scene.

Zheng Anning and his group went directly to the crime scene, which was already under the supervision of people from the Dali Temple.

There were quite a few people watching the fun around, talking and whispering.

[What? This skin was peeled off to make lanterns? ]

Who, who's talking?

Zheng Anning looked at the news events in the system. How come things happen everywhere?

[Tsk tsk, this woman was skinned alive, a small hole was made on the top of her head, and mercury was poured in from her head. What a torture.]

Rong Lin and the others quietly approached Zheng An Ning so that they could have a better view of the show.

Hearing such a cruel method of killing, even Rong Lin's eyelids twitched.

[During this period, we must ensure that the person is awake and cannot let him struggle.]

[What a sin! This is simply insane]

At this moment, the voices in the crowd became smaller, some people were even trembling, and some were secretly discussing the case.

Is it so scary?

Why do we have to peel the skin to make lanterns?

[What? This is actually a murder of passion]

What, murder of passion? What hatred or grudge?

So cruel.

[The female corpse was the widow Wang who lived nearby. She had been in a relationship with the lantern maker for a while, and the lantern maker later wanted to marry her.]

[But Widow Wang disliked his poverty, so she turned around and got together with another man]

[So the lantern maker became resentful, and in order to make Widow Wang accompany him forever, he peeled off her skin and made a lantern]

Everyone: ........

[The ancestors of the lantern makers have a secret technique. Lanterns made from human skin can achieve a beautiful and lifelike effect. It can even allow people to hold the lanterns and cross the Forgetful River.]

Zheng Anning took a deep breath: [Tsk tsk, how cruel]

[As expected, life is full of surprises. You thought it was true love, but it turns out that the other person wants to kill you! ]

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanzhi quickly and secretly sent someone to investigate the matter between the lantern maker and Widow Wang.

[This is what is called, I love you, so I hope you will always be with me, even if you turn into a lantern]

[Tsk tsk, what a pervert]

Not long after, the man came back and said, "Sir, the lantern maker died tragically at home. His death was horrible and miserable."

Hearing this, Shen Yanzhi looked at him in disbelief. He didn't expect it to be so sudden. How could this lantern maker die tragically?

Even Zheng Anning looked at them in surprise, thinking that they were so efficient that they found the real culprit so quickly.

Shen Yanzhi had no choice but to follow people to the lantern maker's house.

At this moment, Zheng An Ning looked up at the lantern maker's house. The sky was filled with gloomy energy and cold air.

At first glance, it is a cramped little courtyard, with many bamboo strips for making lanterns and some finished lanterns piled up in the courtyard.

But at this moment, a man was lying in a pool of blood in a miserable state. His whole body was covered in blood, and upon closer inspection, there was no skin on him.

The whole yard looked like an overturned bucket of red paint, and many lanterns were dyed bright red.

[This tomato and egg soup? Red and hot? ]

When everyone saw such a bloody scene, the strong smell of blood surged like a demon, rushing straight into people's nasal cavity, making people nauseous. For a moment, everyone felt a little physically uncomfortable.

They just felt their stomachs churning and an urge to vomit came over them, so most of the people in the crowd ran to vomit.

Except for a few people with strong adaptability, such as Rong Lin, Shen Yanzhi, and Zheng Anning, she cheated.

Zheng An Ning used a magic trick on himself, which not only prevented him from smelling the smell in front of him, but also kept him from being affected.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, accompanied by a whistling sound, and rolled up the lanterns scattered on the ground. They slowly swirled into the sky and then scattered in all directions.

[Oh no, there is a ghost haunting us]

Some lanterns even rushed towards everyone's faces. For a moment, everyone was so frightened by the scene that they panicked and knocked the lanterns away.

【The lantern has become a spirit? 】

A strange cry came from all directions.

"Haha, hahahahahahahaha"

Suddenly, a strange red lantern flew out from the house. On it was a weird face, which looked hideous and smiled ghostly.

"Dig the grass, what the hell is this?"

Chu Mingze was frightened and screamed "Ah!" and jumped onto Shen Yanzhi, hugging him tightly.

Qi Zheng was so scared that he hid behind Zheng An Ning and Rong Lin, secretly sticking his head out to look around.

Zheng Anning laughed angrily and said to the lantern, "We've taken the wrong path. Let's leave now. Do as you please."

As he spoke, Zheng An Ning walked quickly towards the door, but unexpectedly, the lantern flew towards Zheng An Ning's back.

Zheng An Ning seemed to have eyes on his back. He spun quickly and slapped the lantern. "Humph, these days, any cat or dog dares to cause trouble for me."

She was still wearing the somewhat torn men's clothes. She quickly shook the beads in her hand and sneered evilly, "Little ones, the king found a toy for you, come out and play."

Suddenly, a cold wind blew and several dark shadows floated out from the beads.

“Wahahahahahahahaha”

"

One after another, eerie children's laughter rang out in the yard, the sharp and piercing sound was frightening.

A few little ghosts with pale faces and empty eyes were jumping in the air. Some of them even picked up the lanterns on the ground curiously and tossed them around to play with them as balls.

"Hahaha, it's fun, so fun."

Ever since Zheng An Ning took them in, they have been recuperating inside the beads.

Chu Mingze saw so many little ghosts suddenly appear in the air, each one of them was very eerie and scary.

He was so scared that he was shaking, and he hugged Shen Yanzhi even tighter, and asked Zheng Anning hurriedly, "Where did you get it? Why is it so scary?"

Shen Yanzhi wanted to pull Chu Mingze off his body, but he just held him tighter, and the two of them were in a stalemate for a moment.

Angry Shen Yanzhi spun around a few times, trying to throw him down.

"go down"

"I won't. Do you dare to try?"

Zheng Anning spread his hands and said helplessly, "Changning Marquis Mansion"

Then he said to the little ghosts, "This lantern is for you to play with."

The lantern was trembling with fear, rolling up and down in the air, avoiding the little ghost's teasing and trying to escape.

But it was still caught and tossed around by them, treated as a ball, and it was unable to get away for a while, so the whole lantern looked like it had been destroyed.

It was also screaming miserably, the sound was sharp, piercing and unpleasant to the ear.

Finally, out of desperation, it flew in front of Zheng An Ning and kept shaking up and down, as if it was kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Zheng An Ning sneered, "How powerful is he? It's only been a short while, and you're already begging for mercy?"

Everyone: ........

Weren't you so arrogant just now? Are you begging for mercy now?

Yes, people tend to bully the weak and fear the strong, let alone ghosts.

[Tsk, this lantern is also a bully.]

Zheng Anning suddenly had an idea and tilted his head and said, "Do you like this lantern? I'll sell it to you. The price is negotiable. It can protect your home, make you rich, and even bring you luck in love."

"It can be a lantern, but it can also talk to you, and maybe even fall in love with you!"

[Anyway, I don’t like it very much, it’s so ugly]
