C11 (1/2)
The three of them were about to argue when their vision blurred. With a flash of white, River City appeared beside them.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng was safe and sound, Xiao Lan heaved a long sigh of relief and pouted, ”Has Big Bro Jiang seen enough?” It was obvious that they were complaining about River City.
Jiang Cheng looked at her worried face and felt his heart warm up. ”That scene was really eerie. It didn't look good at all.” Liu'er thought about what the two men had said and could not help but shiver. ”It's not pretty, so why did you have to look at it for so long?” His tone was not like Xiao Lan's. Although he had his own complaints, there were also traces of worry and desolation mixed within.
He also wanted someone to worry about, but since he could remember, he was the only one who worried.
Jiang Cheng didn't know that he had been inside for such a long time. He said apologetically, ”I shouldn't have made you worry. I'm trying to kill someone!”
Liu'er and Xiao Lan were shocked, ”Murder?” Liu'er's eyes swept across Jiang Cheng's body, and she saw that there were no bloodstains on his body. It was obvious that he wasn't hurt, so she was a little worried. However, they were outside the door and did not hear any sounds of fighting. Their confusion gradually increased as they asked, ”Did Big Bro Jiang find the culprit?” Have you already killed him? ” Since he wasn't injured, then it must be someone else.
Jiang Cheng looked more and more solemn as he said, ”I am killing people, but the ones I am killing are the dead.” But even if they are dead, I can't kill them. ”
Liu'er was confused. She started babbling when she saw River City coming out of the courtyard. It was just as her teacher had said, but it was hard to say if there was a vengeful spirit inside. Worried, he asked, ”Has Big Bro Jiang been possessed?” Master, was he shocked by the monsters in the courtyard to the point of spouting nonsense? ”
Liu'er looked nervously at Daoist Master Xu. Before Daoist Master Xu could answer, Xiao Lan asked, ”Brother Jiang, do you want to use the murderer's method to kill me again?”
Liu'er thought about River City being possessed by ghosts and did not understand Xiao Lan's words, so she asked, ”What do you mean? Why do we have to kill it again? Kill who again? ”
Xiao Lan rolled her eyes at him in disdain, and said, ”You are indeed too stupid. ”Big Bro Jiang is sparring with the culprit.”
Liu'er was even more surprised, ”So the murderer is really in there! It seems like Big Bro Jiang has already killed him. Initially, I was worried that someone would set them up, but now … ” But after thinking for a while, he asked worriedly, ”Since the culprit is inside, why didn't Big Bro Jiang capture him alive?” Wouldn't it be death without a witness if we just kill him like that? ”
”Aiya! ”Why are you so stupid!” Xiao Lan patted Liu'er, and said while shaking her head, ”The murderer is not in there! ”Brother Jiang is the one who killed the twelve Qiao Clan members who died long ago!” Then he looked at the increasingly confused Liu'er and explained, ”Their corpses have never been moved, which means that their current appearance is the same as when the murderer killed them. ”Since the killer is able to kill them, Big Bro Jiang will definitely be able to do the same.”
River City shook his head and said, ”I can't kill him.”
Liu'er finally understood what River City was doing and also understood River City's worries. Since he couldn't kill the Qiao Family's population like the killer, it meant that the killer's martial arts skills were higher than River City's!
Daoist Xu was right. River City was indeed a newcomer, but even so, his martial arts was enough to dominate the martial arts world.
However, he was defeated in Yi City!
Not only that, there was also a high chance that this person was an enemy of the Immortal Crocodile clan.
There shouldn't be any enemies in the Immortal Crocodile Manor, but the martial arts world was always like this. No matter if you did good or evil, there would always be people who treated you as their enemy.
Who doesn't talk about people behind their backs? Who was the one behind it?
Xiao Lan frowned, she thought for a while, then shook her head and said, ”It doesn't make sense! His martial arts were so powerful, why did he need to kill someone unrelated to blame? ”If he truly has a grudge with us, the Immortal Crocodile clan, he could use his power to slaughter us. Why is this unnecessary?”
Jiang Cheng also could not understand this question, and said: ”Maybe the wall poem wasn't written by the killer.” Seeing that it was late, he said to the three: ”Let's go back to the house and talk as we go.” The little girl is so smart, I don't even know if she could guess a thing or two. ” The three of them replied and followed her. Xiao Lan was the closest, afraid that she would be followed if she heard something.
At some point, snow had begun to fall from the sky again, falling in silent patches. It was as if the snow was trying to bury everything that was shameful on the ground.
At this time, River City no longer had the mood to appreciate the snow.
He should not have wrinkles at his age, but today his wrinkles were abnormally large.
