Arknights, my information is updated every day

Unfortunately, he had already allowed the Lateran host to fix his spirit and cognition.

Although the Night Crying Woman's magic is insidious and powerful, compared with the evil spirit, it is not even worthy of carrying shoes, so naturally it cannot affect him.

If it were someone else, they might have fallen into the Night Crying Woman's evil trap and been led by her.

This is also her usual method of kidnapping people, and those who are murdered by her are all kind-hearted people.

The reason why the Night Crying Woman is called the Night Crying Woman is because she often finds a place at night and cries and acts pitiful, waiting for kind young women to ask questions and comfort her, and then takes the opportunity to trick the young women into a remote place and kidnap them.

Generally speaking, the reasons used are nothing more than how badly their children treat them when they are old, that they are afraid to go home late at night or have been kicked out of the house, and they hope that kind-hearted people can help them argue with them.

Chen Xiu had seen similar cases in the newspaper before. How vicious and despicable it was to exploit the kindness of others!

Seeing Chen Xiu standing stiffly in place, as if he was being distracted by his own ghostly howling, the Night Crying Woman opened her toothless mouth and let out bursts of strange laughter, as if she had already won the fight.

I have never lost when dealing with this group of chivalrous people!

"Fat cook, what are you waiting for?" the old Taoist shouted, "Kill him now!"

"Here I come! I just went to get my stuff!" The fat cook strode over, holding a broad-bladed knife covered in dark red blood. "Watch me chop this kid into minced meat with this hog-killing knife passed down from my ancestors!"

Seeing the dog-faced chef running towards him carelessly, Chen Xiu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He originally wanted to see if Zheng Yuanlaodao would jump out, but who would have thought that this guy would be so cautious.

The fat cook grinned grimly and raised the pig-killing knife, aiming at Chen Xiu's neck with all his might, but he only hit a shadow, which made him stunned because he used too much force.

Chen Xiu’s true body was actually hiding behind the phantom.

Before the fat chef could change his tactics, he delivered a vicious crotch kick that hit him between his legs.

An indescribable pain instantly swept through his brain. The sharp knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. He covered his crotch and let out a heart-wrenching howl of pain.

But the howling had just begun when it was forcibly blocked.

Chen Xiu stuffed the muzzle of the gun into the fat chef's wide-open mouth and pulled the trigger in his horrified eyes.

As a Pello, the fat chef's physical fitness can be said to be very strong, but no matter how thick his skin and flesh are, he cannot withstand the close-range fire of the gun when it is pushed to his throat.

After a gunshot, the huge body of the dog-faced chef fell heavily to the ground.

Both Ye Kupo and Zheng Yuanlaodao were stunned. They never expected that the fat chef would be killed in this way.

The wailing stopped abruptly, and the Night Crying Woman stared at Chen Xiu's indifferent face, not finding a trace of pity on it, let alone anger and trembling.

"You...how can you not cry? The world has let me down! Why shouldn't you feel pain?!"

The dry claws dug into the cracks in the floor, and the nails scraped against the wooden boards, making a harsh squeaking sound that made people's heads hurt.

"Could it be that you're actually a hypocrite? Hahaha, it turns out you're no different from us!"

The Night Crying Woman questioned loudly, and slapped the ground frantically with her rat tail, trying to break through Chen Xiu's defenses.

"You're telling this to a Sarkaz? It's really, really ridiculous..."

Chen Xiu sneered and kicked the Night Crying Woman unconscious.

Killing this guy directly would be too easy for her. Even if he was cut into pieces, it would still be too light.

He raised his eyes to look at the only elder still standing, Zheng Yuanlao, and said that this guy had not stopped him from attacking Ye Kupo.

Although I couldn't figure out what his purpose was, I just had to put him down first.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiu pulled the trigger again.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Yuanlaodao immediately drifted backwards, trying to hide in the house.

The inn was not big and there was not much space inside the house. Chen Xiu would not give him the chance to find a shelter to hide.

But after the gun went off, it was Chen Xiu's turn to be stunned. His shooting, which always hit the target, went astray this time. But he immediately reacted and thought of a possibility.

Another gunshot was heard, and the bullet pierced Zheng Yuanlaodao's body.

The next second, Zheng Yuanlaodao turned into a paper man, swaying and falling to the ground.

It turned out to be a fake body!

Chen Xiu put down his gun and frowned as he thought carefully.

When did he escape? Was it from the very beginning?

If that's the case, then Zheng Yuanlaodao sold his teammates too readily, without any hesitation at all.

In the final analysis, they are just a bunch of low-class thugs gathered together. It would be rare for them to have any real friendship with each other.

It doesn’t matter, as long as you are targeted by me, you can’t escape.

Let him run for a few hours first, and it would be best if he could find a place to hide. When the information is refreshed, we can just follow the map to find him.

Chen Xiu had just tied up the night-crying woman when he heard a whimpering sound coming from the side, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

At a glance, Lin Qingyan seemed to be about to wake up, but it was only a short time later.

Could it be that the amulet also has the ability to dispel negative states?

Chen Xiu stared at the talisman accessory on the Qilin girl's waist, and felt that it was really a rare treasure.

Considering Lin Qingyan's mastership, this thing might be a basic configuration for every disciple.

That's just right, otherwise I would have to sit here and wait for her to wake up.

After all, it's unclear whether the amulet can distinguish between friend and foe.

If you don't want to be turned into charcoal by thunder, it's best not to approach rashly in this situation.

Lin Qingyan's eyelashes trembled slightly in the lightning, and the clear light emitted by the amulet shrank back into the seal characters like the receding tide, becoming unremarkable.

The smell of burning and blood lingered in her nose, making her dizzy and quickly regain consciousness. She found herself lying on her back on the ground of the inn, and her fragmented memories continued to come back.

The Qilin girl quickly jumped up, looked down at her clothes, and breathed a sigh of relief.

His eyes swept over the charred figure lying on the ground, and he recognized that he was the guy with rabbit ears. He also realized that his appearance was caused by thunder magic.

There was a flash of surprise in his purple eyes. Could it be that he had attacked before he fainted?

Without waiting to think clearly, Lin Qingyan looked up and around. She still remembered that there was more than one guy with rabbit ears in the inn.

However, I saw a young Sarkaz man sitting on a bench with his legs and a golden sword. Beside him was a fat Pelo lying down, and under his feet was a skinny and pitiful old Zarak woman.

Seeing her looking over, the Sarkaz youth paused in wiping the barrel of his gun, the firelight illuminating his profile.

Two tiny arcs of electricity exploded from the horns of the Qilin girl, and her fingers subconsciously formed a spell.

However, she still remembered that she seemed to hear a gunshot before she lost consciousness.

"Were you the one who came to our rescue just now?" Lin Qingyan asked, her red lips parted. "There are traces of both thunder and gunfire in this post station. It's hard to tell whether it was thunder magic that killed the evil or guns that defeated the enemy."

Chen Xiu was a little surprised. How come this guy seemed unaware that he had a treasure on him?

"As much as I want to say I saved you, you wouldn't have been in any harm even if I hadn't... Miss Elafia, that ghostly charm accessory you're wearing is truly powerful, more than enough to protect you."

Lin Qingyan frowned slightly. What kind of look was that in this guy's eyes?

How on earth did you mistake a Qilin for a deer!?

Although I am dissatisfied, now is not the time to worry about it.

With Chen Xiu's reminder, Lin Qingyan finally remembered the amulet around his waist and grabbed it in his hand.

This thing was given to me by my master on the day I became a disciple. I was just a young man at that time, and I vaguely remember that my master said it was a gift to me.

Before leaving this time, the master came to confirm with me.

"Qing Yan, this is your first time traveling alone. Are you carrying the amulet I gave you?"

Thinking of the relief and worry hidden in his master's eyes at that time, Lin Qingyan couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

So, the old man concluded that he would fail this time?

Come to think of it, my master had taught me before that the world is a dangerous place and I should be careful about everything.

But there are some things that are useless no matter how much you talk about them. Only when you actually encounter them and suffer losses can you remember them for the rest of your life.

Lin Qingyan sighed inwardly, and he really fell flat on his face. It is not enough to have strength alone to survive in the world, as those villains have many insidious and vicious tricks.

Putting down the amulet, Lin Qingyan looked at Chen Xiu again.

Although he would be fine even if he didn't take action, he still came to help.

If he hadn't been there, even if he woke up, the evildoers who had occupied the post station would have already escaped.

Lin Qingyan now recognized who attacked her. It was none other than the group led by Zheng Yuanlaodao whom she had been desperately pursuing!

Although she already had the answer in her mind, the Qilin girl still asked, "Where is the thin shopkeeper?"

"He ran away." Chen Xiu replied, "He didn't even fight me."

Lin Qingyan immediately asked, "Which direction did he escape to?"

"I didn't notice that." Chen Xiu shook his head and changed the subject: "However, if you really want to find him, you can ask his accomplices. There happens to be a survivor here."

As Chen Xiu spoke, he exerted force on his feet, causing the Night Crying Woman to wail in agony.

In order to prevent this guy from using magic, he was kind enough to press down on her lungs so that she could not cry out.

Lin Qingyan didn't say anything about this. She knew what evil things the Night Crying Woman had done.

"Haha, I, I won't say anything..."

Although the Night Crying Woman had difficulty breathing, she still grinned, her old face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum.

"What do you, the beasts of the imperial court, know? The very existence of the Yan Nation is a mistake! The great Beast God will surely return..."

Lin Qingyan's pupils suddenly shrank, and thunder exploded on his body.

She couldn't pretend not to hear what the Night Crying Woman said. A case of robbery instantly turned into a major case of treason!

More importantly, it involves giant beasts, which is a political red line for Yan Nation!!

Before she could ask, she heard the Sarkaz youth of unknown origin suddenly speak.

"Are you from the imperial court?"

Lin Qingyan paused, then nodded and admitted, "That's right."

"I'm Jingzhe, the head of the Six Gates." Lin Qingyan clasped his fists and saluted with a sincere attitude. "I know the Sarkaz have always been reluctant to have anything to do with the imperial court..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard the other party chuckle.

"Coincidentally, I can barely be considered a member of the imperial court... Chen Xiu, a special informant of the Longmen Guard Bureau."

Chapter 134 Chen Xiu: Are you willing to believe the prophecy?

"An informant from the Longmen Guard Bureau?"

Lin Qingyan blinked and looked at Chen Xiu with suspicion in his eyes.

"That's right." Chen Xiu nodded and said, "To be more precise, I'm under the command of Inspector Chen Huijie."

Lin Qingyan's heart moved when he heard this.

Although she had never met Chen Huijie, she had heard of the name.

Since the other party can say it with certainty, it is somewhat credible, but why are the people from Longmen here?

Chen Xiu naturally saw Lin Qingyan's confusion and took the initiative to explain: "The people from the Six Gates must be here for a case, and the same goes for me as an informant from the Guard Bureau."

"What case?" Lin Qingyan immediately became interested and asked, "Can you tell me about it?"

"A kidnapping case involving many infected children." Chen Xiu naturally would not hide it from Lin Qingyan: "I have found their base."

"Infected?" Lin Qingyan was obviously stunned.

"Yes, an infected person." Chen Xiu nodded and said, "An infected person from the Longmen slums."

Without waiting for Lin Qingyan to say anything, Chen Xiu confessed, "Actually, this is a case that a friend of mine is investigating. He's a private investigator, and he accepted a commission from the parents of those children. I happened to get some clues from a horse bandit when I was passing through the wilderness before, and I passed them on to him. But after he came to investigate, there was no news, so I came to take a look."

Lin Qingyan believed most of what he heard, but Chen Xiu still added one more sentence.

"If you don't believe me, you can check the records of bandit suppression. The horse bandit I caught was named Ma Zhanpo."
