1687 The Perfect Cover (2/2)

Lu Zhuo slowly approached Gu Ying and looked at her feeble body.

”Xiao Ying, where are you going? Oh, it's been years since I last called you that. I haven't heard you calling me Leader Lu with your sweet voice. You admired me so much when you first joined my group. If Li Yumei didn't stick her leg between us out of nowhere, perhaps we would be a blessed couple that others are jealous of by now!?” Lu Zhuo went up to Gu Ying and asked with squinting eyes.

”What...what did you do to us!?” Gu Ying was enraged.

The rest of the Foehn Hunter Squad was asleep. Gu Ying had failed to wake them up. She had been on alert throughout the night, but she felt extremely drowsy all of a sudden. She thought she was too worn out over the past few days, but she soon discovered that all the Hunter Groups nearby were fast asleep too.

”Did you not drink from the spring?” Lu Zhuo asked with a smile.

”You poisoned the spring?!” Gu Ying snarled instantly.

”Xiao Ying, you're indeed a lot smarter than Li Yumei. You're so cautious that you didn't even drink from the cold spring, but it doesn't really matter. Your teammates drank from it, so even their breaths while conversing with you would still make you feel sleepy. You will soon end up just like them, even though you didn't drink the water,” Lu Zhuo promised.

The drug that Luo Mian gave him stood out by its effects. Even if someone was only drinking from their own water, even conversing with someone that had been drugged at a close distance would make them fall victim to it, too...

It was difficult to resist the drowsiness. Gu Ying was experiencing it firsthand. She could not gather any force, and she could not even cast a single spell.

”What are you trying to do!?” Gu Ying clenched her teeth. She was trying her best not to close her eyes.

”You never knew your place. To be honest, if you weren't such a busybody and saved this Wu Dong, none of this would have happened. Your teammates and these Hunters are all going to die because of you, HAHAHA!” Lu Zhuo burst out laughing.

”That's the reason you're going to kill everyone on the island?” Gu Ying was utterly shocked when she heard Gu Ying's words.

Everyone on the island had fallen victim to this. Was this Lu Zhuo out of his mind?

”I have to make sure that not even a single drop of water can leak out from here. Think about it; if I only kill Wu Dong, your Foehn Hunter Squad is going to be a huge trouble, so I can only take your Foehn Hunter Squad out too, but if I kill the Foehn Hunter Squad, the Hunter Union will eventually learn about it. Besides, there are so many Hunters on this island, and they have all chatted with you, so they already know why you are here. It's easy for me to be blamed.

”Therefore, the simplest way is to kill everyone on this island! That way, everyone will just focus on the entire island instead of your Foehn Hunter Squad. They won't worry about Wu Dong, either, nor would they link your deaths to me. The Thousand Islands Lake has always been dangerous. It's not impossible that a powerful beast showed up and killed everyone on the island!” Lu Zhuo laughed.

If only the people relevant to a matter were murdered, it was very easy to track down the culprit. However, if a bunch of irrelevant people were involved too, things would be more complicated, since there were four Hunter Groups and a few other Hunters on the island. There were no obvious reasons and motives behind their deaths...

He could even hide the deaths of the Cangjin Hunter Squad and blame it on the tragedy that happened on the Single-Line Island!

Gu Ying was walking unsteadily. The anger in her heart was erupting like a volcano. This Lu Zhuo was going to murder everyone on the island just to cover up his crimes. How twisted was he inside!?
