final conspiracy

When several people entered the city, it was already dark.

"Cousin, where are we going now? A tavern?" Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Mufeng, "I still have a lot of things I don't understand."

"There are too many people in the tavern." Lin Mufeng said lightly, "Go to my residence."

In fact, Lin Mufeng thought very simply, he just decided to go to his place because he felt that it was not good to go to a girl's house, and it was not safe to be in a tavern.

Unexpectedly, when Lin Xi heard this sentence, he gave him a strange look in his eyes, let out a strange "oh hehe" laugh, and agreed with his eyes shining.

Lin Mufeng: "..." He suddenly regretted it.

It's a pity that it's useless to regret.

"Here we are." Lin Mufeng opened the door.

Lin Xi rushed into the house and exclaimed, "Wow, your house is so tidy! It's even more tidy than my girl's house!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to look at the things in the house.

Lin Mufeng ignored her, went straight to the table and sat down, making tea.

Whenever he is in a bad mood or needs to concentrate and think, he likes to make a cup of tea and think while drinking.To put it bluntly, I just like making tea.

"Hey, I'm talking about my cousin," Lin Xi said after reading the things in the room, sitting opposite Lin Mufeng, "how on earth did you manage to change so much?" She originally wanted to ask why Lin Mufeng's temperament changed so much , but the question he asked was obviously wrong, and he regretted it once he had said it.

"It's important." Lin Mufeng didn't explain, or in other words, didn't listen to what Lin Xi was saying, and just said calmly.

"Yes, yes, cousin, hurry up and talk."

Lin Mufeng adjusted his thoughts with lowered eyes, and said slowly: "With the information we know..."

For some unknown reason, there were a lot of corpses at Luoying Lake, either killed here, or thrown here after being killed.The only thing that is certain is that in order to cover up the traces, the murderer destroyed the body thoroughly, and pretended to be killed by a mutated animal beside Luoying Lake.It is known that the murderer is a group of people who have practiced the same kind of inner strength.

So the question is, what is the relationship between these people and these murderers, and the reason why Luoying Lake has become what it is now?

Someone put the investigation of what happened in Luoying Lake into the task candidate, but for some reason, it seems that people don't want to take it?

Because none of the pick-ups came back?

Lin Mufeng pursed his lips slightly.

This task is really weird, and it reveals weirdness everywhere.

What is the killing group and what are they trying to do?

Judging from the behavior of the welcoming city, it should be the city lord who put the task in the task bar.But why is the reward given so low?

If not the mayor, who should it be?

"Such a low reward for the task... No one will take it..." Lin Xi frowned after hearing this, "Since he wants to know the cause and effect of this matter, why do people not want to take it? Could it be that he can't come out?" Can you afford this money?" The last sentence was completely a complaint.

Shaking his head, Lin Mufeng said, "Forget about it today. Tomorrow, I'll inquire about the latest news about Luoying Lake."

"Okay, then Chi Yue and I will go to the lakeside to see if we can find any information. The body must have been destroyed in such a way. It would be better if some clues were left behind."

Lin Mufeng nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go back first. Cousin, you have a good rest tonight. It's been a while... for you." Lin Xi's voice softened and his eyes softened as he spoke.

Lin Mufeng nodded, showing a shallow smile, which instantly faded away like a ray of light in the darkness, and the ice and snow melted and disappeared in a flash.

"Let's go." His expression faded again, and he said flatly.

Lin Xi turned around and went out the door. The moment the door was closed, he heard a faint voice.

"...a good dream."

Sweet dreams, cousin.

Lin Xi smiled slightly.

Meanwhile Los Angeles

A foul smell wafted around, the lake was dead silent, and there was no smell of any living things around.However, in this dead air, a young man dressed in black appeared without warning.

He is about [-] or [-] years old, his skin is pale and has not seen the sun all year round, but his appearance is unimaginably beautiful, like a messenger from hell, even if it makes people feel cold all over, he is reluctant to look away.

His gaze circled around the lake, and the place where he stayed happened to be where Lin Mufeng and the others stayed for a while.

"...Interesting..." He seemed to chuckle, his voice was soft, like the most intimate whisper between lovers, making people want to sink in regardless, but under those fine and slender eyelashes, it was as dark as an abyss There was no emotion in his eyes.

After this sentence, he never said anything else. He just stared at the place with thoughtful eyes for a while, and then disappeared in the same place again.

As a result, there was no trace of him appearing by the lake anymore, as if he was just one person's best delusion, and just disappeared without a sound.

Second day

Lin Mufeng went to the tavern.Points are used for consumption in the city, so before leaving, I asked Lin Xi to borrow 50 points, and walked into a small tavern at random.

This tavern is usually visited by all kinds of martial arts chivalrous men, so it will be easier to find out the news from here.

Put on a disguise, change your temperament so that you can better integrate into the tavern, Lin Mufeng ordered a jug of old wine, and drank it by himself.

From a distance, it looks like a middle-aged knight-errant who has wandered in the rivers and lakes for several years came here to rest. He looks chic, but accompanied by loneliness.

The surroundings were filled with all kinds of conversations. Lin Mufeng listened carefully, and Qianqian recognized them, but they never heard any useful news.

It wasn't until he drank more than half of a pot of wine that he finally heard someone mention the three words "Luoying Lake".

"Hey, have you heard...it's the Luoying Lake..."

With a movement in his heart, when Lin Mufeng was about to listen attentively, a black shadow appeared across the table, interrupting Lin Mufeng's movements just right.

I don't know if it was intentional or not.

"Young man, it's easy to hurt yourself if you drink alone." There was a strong smile in that voice, and the words spoken in a soft tone could easily capture people's hearts.

Lin Mufeng tightened his hand holding the cup, feeling a little annoyed in his heart.But after all, he still had a task to do, so he couldn't make trouble, so he just closed his eyes and put his hands on his waist calmly.

Totally ignored him.

The young man was not annoyed by his indifference at all, and looked at him with his cheeks propped up with a smile, without the slightest intention to stop his movements.

After mentioning one point, Lin Mufeng continued to listen intently, but unfortunately, he could no longer find the voice to speak.The two of them had already changed the subject.

He couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Hey, young hero," the boy chuckled lightly when he saw this, and said, "You're ignoring me so much?"

Lin Mufeng was finally willing to raise his eyes to look at him, but he just glanced at him and then ignored him. He just drank his own wine and thought about the purpose of the boy opposite him.

What does he want to do?He had already disguised himself like this, even if Lin Xi came, he would not be able to recognize him, so it stands to reason that no one would intentionally disturb him.

But this man...

"Young hero?" The young man's voice was slightly raised, and the ending was soft and numb, and the people's hearts also rose and fell with his voice.

Unable to listen anymore, Lin Mufeng raised his eyes again, and said coldly, "What's the matter?"

Bewitching.

He evaluates in his heart.

The boy's watery peach blossom eyes were full of smiles, and he was looking at him without blinking.

"I saw the young man drinking alone here, so I came to accompany the young man, drinking alone hurts the body." The young man's pale lips hooked into a smile, and against the pale complexion, there was a faint pink glow.

He didn't care about Lin Mufeng, took his wine glass slowly, poured wine into the glass with the flagon, raised the glass, and drank it.

His pale fingers were long and slender, with well-defined joints.Holding a wine glass makes one feel as if what is being held is one's own heart.

I don't know if he did it on purpose, but the place where he drank happened to be the place where Lin Mufeng drank.

"..." Lin Mufeng resisted the urge to frown.

Licking his lips lightly, the boy raised his eyes to look at him.

Lin Mufeng looked back.

There is affection in one eye.

A faint light.

"Young hero," after a long time, the young man suddenly laughed in a low voice, straightened up, and put his hand on Lin Mufeng's shoulder, "Take off the mask and show me..."

Lin Mufeng's pupils shrank slightly.

He actually saw it?

He held the handle of the soft sword with his fingers, and before he had time to exert force, the boy suddenly let go of his hand and sat back.

"Well, if you don't pick it up, don't pick it up, don't be angry." The young man poured a glass of wine again, and pushed it in front of Lin Mufeng, "Here, drink a glass of wine to calm down."

Lin Mufeng remembered the scene of the boy drinking from a glass, and made up his mind not to touch the glass again.

The young man saw that he was unmoved, the corners of his lips curled up, and he didn't know what he thought of, he bent his lips and said, "Don't you want to drink?"

Lin Mufeng ignored him.

The young man smiled, got up from his seat, sat next to Lin Mufeng, propped up the chair with one arm, and leaned slightly towards him.

"Don't worry, I didn't poison you."

Soft whispers sounded in the ears, and the hot and humid breath sprayed on the ears.

It was supposed to be an extremely ambiguous scene, but Lin Mufeng felt strong palpitations and fear for no reason!

He frowned involuntarily, and just as he was about to make a move, he found that he couldn't mobilize his internal strength at some point!

It was still able to be used just now, when was the internal force sealed? !

"You...!" Lin Mufeng turned his head to look at the young man, but he didn't expect that the young man was also leaning forward.

The lips of the two brushed.

Lin Mufeng's face turned pale, and a feeling of nausea surged up.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, the young man chuckled and backed away a little.

"I didn't do it on purpose." The boy said with a smile, spreading his hands, but without any sincerity.

Lin Mufeng pursed his lips tightly, and looked at him warily.Unable to do anything, he is already thinking about how to leave smoothly to unlock the internal force.

However, after thinking about it, he discovered that his internal energy could be used again!

That man actually put the antidote on his lips?

"Oh, I was discovered." The young man smiled, "Don't look at me like that, I'll give you the antidote..." He lowered his voice, causing people to think endlessly.

Tapping the wine glass on the table with his fingers, the smile on his lips widened: "Here, you don't want this."

Lin Mufeng pursed his lips again.

what is this?Who?

Finally, he didn't want to talk to him anymore, and his inner strength was released, so Lin Mufeng walked away directly.

Being disturbed by him today, I'm afraid I won't gain anything.
