If you don't count, you will die

Silence watched Lin Mu sticking to the back of his hand cautiously, eyes bent, trying to make a smiling expression, but failed in the end.

Lin Mu saw that Shen Mo's expression gradually relaxed, and said: "Get up and eat something, you have been lying down for a long time."

Only then did Shen Mo notice that the sky was already bright at this time, and they had already returned to the Palace of Thousand Machines at some point, and he had been fascinated for so long.

Lin Mu brought the warm food and said: "When you were near the abandoned hall, you seemed to have been under an illusion. You suddenly threw away my hand, threw an iron flower, turned around and ran, and when I was chasing you, you were suddenly caught again. The monster that appeared seemed to have a purpose. It only blocked me for a while and then left quickly. From this point of view...it seems to be targeting you..."

Shen Mo paused for a while while holding the spoon, his eyes widened slightly after hearing Lin Mu's description, was everything he saw fake?Did he take the initiative to break away from Lin Mu?Still like Lin Mu throwing a scary little iron flower?

Then Shen Mo immediately dropped the spoon in his hand, stretched out his hand to grab Lin Mu's hand, held it tightly, and said, "Are you injured?"

Lin Mu smiled, and there was a bit of teasing in the smile, "How can the things I made hurt me?"

Silence still looked at him well, with undisguised worry and guilt in his eyes, and looked at Lin Mu from head to toe bit by bit for a few times, and he was relieved after confirming that Lin Mu was really not injured .

"You said that thing was aimed at me?"

Lin Mu nodded, "The strange thing about it is that it deliberately creates illusions to separate you and me. It seems that its IQ is not low, and the only person it has attacked in the daytime away from the ruined palace is you. Something attracts it."

Shen Mo thought about it carefully, but he really couldn't think of anything special about him that could attract that monster. Then he thought of the previous ecstasy, which should be the scene when the former queen died.

It was rumored that the former empress died by hanging herself, but now it seems that this is not the case. She was clearly cut off by the current emperor himself, bleeding and dying of excruciating pain.

Thinking about it, Shen Mo didn't hesitate to tell Lin Mu what he saw when he was in a trance, but Lin Mu responded flatly, as if he wasn't very interested, he just said flatly: "Is that so. "

Nodding silently, seeing that Lin Mu was not interested, and didn't know what to say, he just said, "I thought it might have something to do with the sudden appearance of the monster?"

Ling Mu shook his head and said: "Anyway, your recent situation is very dangerous, without my company, don't leave Qianji Palace easily."

Silently said: "I want to go to those injured guards to deduce a few hexagrams."

Lin Mu stepped forward, stroked Shen Mo's slightly pale face, and said, "I'll go tomorrow, and I'll accompany you tomorrow, and you just need to rest well today."

Shen Mo was used to obeying Lin Mu's words, and he was indeed physically and mentally exhausted after running around all night, so he obediently finished his meal and lay down to rest again.

Early the next morning, before the two of them set off, bad news came from the palace.

Those guards and the injured palace servants all went crazy.

Without exception, the whites of their eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, their mouths were wide open, their saliva was wanton, and they would bite anyone they saw. Fortunately, there were a large number of guards, and they were immediately restrained when they were attacked. The seedlings were hit, and many people were injured.

Immediately, people panicked, and those who were bitten again were immediately controlled to prevent them from being infected by madness again, which would cause a sudden outbreak and cause the situation to become uncontrollable.

According to the report of the subordinates, those crazy guards and palace people seem to have lost their sanity, they bite people when they see them, and even if they are opened and injured, they will immediately rush forward regardless of the pain in their bodies. Only the command to bite remains.

Lin Mu told Shen Mo the news, and said: "It seems that there is no way to do divination for them for the time being. Those people are very dangerous now, and they have been locked up and guarded strictly. It is very dangerous for you to go now."

Silence was not reconciled, "But..."

Lin Mu interrupted him and directly made a decision, "No but, your safety is more important than investigating the case."

Shen Mo pursed his lips, feeling a little anxious in his heart. It is true that his lifespan has been increased by three months, but three months is only a blink of an eye. How can he not be anxious...

But he didn't know how to tell Lin Mu all this, this was the biggest secret of his survival, he...can he tell Lin Mu?

In the next few days, Lin Mu strictly forbade running around in silence, and kept him staying in the Hall of Thousand Chances to have a good rest, but now that the Hall of Thousand Chances, which prohibits illusions, has been opened, without Lin Mu's leadership, he can't go in and out at will.

A few days later, the monster changed again.

Fortunately, those who were attacked again by the mad guards and palace people did not go mad. It seems that the madness will not be reinfected, but people died in the imperial palace.

The one who died was a maid who lived near the abandoned hall, a servant of Princess Kun Xiao of Kun Kingdom.

After Shen Mo heard this, Kun Xiao's always indifferent face immediately appeared in his mind, and he said, "Can I go and see her? There shouldn't be any danger in visiting her. We'll go during the day and be back soon!" "

Lin Mu looked at the nervousness on Shen Mo's taut little face, and narrowed his eyes, "You seem to be worried about her?"

Silent for a moment, he shook his head blankly, "I just thought I might be able to ask her about monsters..."

Ling Mu sighed, stretched out his hand and pinched Shen Mo's earlobe, Mo Mo's face was inexplicably blushing slowly before letting go, "Forget it, I'll take you there."

Ever since Princess Kun arrived at the Imperial Palace of Zhantian Kingdom, the current emperor has never seen the princess except for a hasty glance at the reception banquet, and even arranged for the princess to live in a palace far away from the Hall of Embers. Although the palace is adjacent to the abandoned hall, I didn't think much of it before, but ever since accidents happened frequently near the abandoned hall, the emperor didn't mention it. I really can't wait to see this princess.

But now, something happened to Princess Kunxiao.

One of her maids was attacked by a monster quietly at night, but the emperor still turned a deaf ear to it, except adding a few more guards for the princess symbolically, nothing happened.

But the princess, who had been very peaceful since she arrived in Zhantian Kingdom, suddenly became restless.

She began to beg to see Dijun.

Of course the Dijun was missing, once, twice, even though the princess ran outside the Hall of Light and waited for several hours, the Dijun still disappeared.

And just when Princess Kun had nowhere to ask for help, Shen Mo came to her door.

Accompanied by Lin Mu, Shen Mo went to the palace where Kun Xiao lived temporarily.

On the way here, when passing by the abandoned hall, Mo Mo was still a little panicked, but after Lin Mu silently took his hand to comfort him, he felt more at ease.

Arriving at Princess Kunxiao's dormitory, he was immediately attracted by a burst of rich incense. This fragrance is very strong, but it won't make people feel tired after smelling it too much, but it makes the mind clearer.

Mo Mo gave a light salute to Princess Kun Xiao, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, while Lin Mu stood upright, motionless.

Kun Xiao didn't care, he didn't even pay much attention to Lin Mu, but eagerly greeted Lin Mu when Silence arrived.

This was the first time Silence saw a woman who was not attracted by Lin Mu. He looked at Kun Xiao who hadn't seen him for a few days, his face was a little pale, his face revealed deep exhaustion, but his body was not thin.

Kun Xiao stared at the young man who was a little shorter than her in front of her, and asked in a calm tone: "Master, you seem to be very familiar with Dijun? I see that Dijun seems to like you very much. I wonder if you can introduce Dijun for me? I have something urgent to see Dijun...but Dijun keeps avoiding me..."

Shen Shen shook his head, thought for a while and shook his head again, how could he know Dijun so well?

The few meetings she had with Dijun seemed unpleasant, so how could she say that Dijun was very fond of him?

Seeing Shen Mo shaking her head, Kun Xiao only thought he was evading, after all, she could clearly see the performance of the Lord God at the reception at that time, at this time, Mo Mo's refusal, in her opinion, what is it if it is not evasion?

At that moment, Kun Xiao became angry, and finally showed the arrogance of a princess of a country. She flicked her sleeves, her face was cold, and she said sharply: "I'm afraid Mr. Guoshi won't help me? That's right, I came here alone. No relatives or reasons, anyone can step on my head, let alone Zhan Tianguo's respected master!"

Listening to her sarcasm, Shen Mo frowned, but Lin Mu narrowed his eyes in displeasure.

Silence thought for a while and said, "Why are you so eager to see the emperor?"

Kun Xiao frowned tightly, and after watching the silence for a while, she said as if she was discouraged: "I came all the way from Kun Kingdom, and the guards and maids I brought with me are all people who grew up with me. , but I have had deep feelings since I was a child... Now, one of them died inexplicably and tragically... Although I have heard the rumors of the abandoned temple nearby, I didn't take it seriously, but when the catastrophe is imminent, I don't care how I got there, but I am worried ...Worrying that someone will have an accident again... Isn't he the current emperor? Is it so difficult to ask him to change my place!"

Silence suddenly realized that this is the case, this Princess Kunxiao is actually such a genuine person, the royal nobles in this ancient era, most of them regarded human life as nothing, and it was the first time he saw Princess Kunxiao like this, he couldn't help but He was more kind to her.

"Although I can't promise you to introduce Dijun to you...But Dijun has already entrusted me with the matter of this monster. I promise you that I will investigate this matter as soon as possible to prevent more people from causing the accident, but I want to ask Regarding the matter of the deceased maid, I hope the princess can cooperate..."

Seeing that there was really no way to see Dijun through silence, Kun Xiao relaxed her shoulders and became dejected, and said sullenly: "If you have anything to ask, just ask, and I will tell you everything I can tell you."

Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "I wonder if the princess can tell me how the maid died?"

When Kun Xiao heard this, her face was a little sad, and she spoke slowly after a while.

"She, she was bitten to death... When she was discovered, her body had been gnawed terribly..."

It turned out that the monster was really a cannibal.

Since Kun Xiao arrived at the Zhantian Kingdom Imperial Palace, she has been staying here quietly, reading a book or staring in a daze every day.

That night, Kun Xiao felt dizzy, as if she had contracted a cold, so she had to lie down early to rest, and the maid wanted to light incense for her to help her sleep as usual, but she didn't want the incense in the house to be used up. It's over.

Kun Xiao didn't care, she just said it was okay, and let the maid go down.

But he didn't want the maid to be so persistent for some reason that she must light incense for Kun Xiao, so she told Kun Xiao several times that she must wait for her to get the incense back before going to sleep. Kun Xiao grew up with the maid since she was a child, although Now the two have different statuses, but their relationship has always been very close, and their relationship in private is like sisters, so they agreed very connivingly.

It was already dark at that time, and not long after the maid left, she felt a severe headache and fell asleep unconsciously.

And when he waited until the next morning, he was awakened by a scream.

The maid unexpectedly died outside without a sound, in a very miserable state of death.

Her throat was bitten off, the flesh on her face was almost eaten away, her eyes were big, her body was distorted, and the flesh and blood on her limbs were also eaten in a mess. Judging from the tooth marks, the flesh seemed to be hardened by someone. It was torn apart.

Kun Xiao immediately thought of the rumors of cannibalism that she had never paid much attention to, and then began to frantically want to see the emperor.

But Dijun kept avoiding her.

She only hoped that the appearance of silence would bring her a turnaround.
