Chapter 304: Heavenly Killer
Xie Ling has an excellent memory and will never forget someone she has met within a year.
Where had she seen the young man in black before?
The young man lived in the prison next to Xie Ling's. He wore a black shirt with arrow sleeves, was tall and thin, and had a cold temperament.
The two men looked at each other, and the young man raised his eyes, revealing a handsome face that was delicate and not real. His skin was pale, and he looked like a night-blooming cereus blooming in the dark night, ethereal and eerie.
Seeing Xie Ling staring at him, impatience flashed across the young man's indifferent eyes, and his voice was concise and to the point.
"when did you come?"
Xie Ling had changed her appearance now, so even if he had seen her before, he probably wouldn't recognize her, so she said openly, "I just came here today, brother, when were you captured?"
"Exactly half a month ago."
After saying that, he glanced around the nearby prison.
Seeing that the cells were all full of people, a sneer appeared on his lips.
“It’s finally full.”
When he said this, murderous intent flashed across the boy's eyes. Xie Ling noticed with her sharp eyes that there was a faint silver lotus between his handsome eyebrows!
She remembered!
The silver lotus between the eyebrows, this is the natural killer of Guangyao Palace.
She had met him once before when she and Gu Wei went to Yunqin State to find the swordsmith Xiao Ning.
At that time, the boy was looking for black iron.
Xie Ling raised her hand, pretending to comb her hair, but in fact she was secretly brushing the Emei spikes on her hair crown.
Fortunately, Xiao Ning had excellent craftsmanship and had forged the Emei thorn into an ordinary hairpin style, otherwise it would have been impossible to hide it today.
She didn't want to make enemies.
At the same time, a flash of surprise crossed Xie Ling's mind.
Her martial arts skills can only be considered superior, not top-notch, so it is understandable that she was caught.
This young man is a natural killer from Guangyao Palace, one of the top fighters in the world, yet he was caught.
Who are the people who arrested them?
Xie Ling deliberately tried to test him, "Brother, do you know why we were arrested?"
He crossed his arms across his chest, which was unusual. He seemed annoyed by Xie Ling's constant talking. He said in a cold tone, "I don't know."
Xie Ling glanced around the prison and took a look at the people in other cells.
There are both men and women, most of them are young, with more girls.
At this moment, some people were afraid, some were confused, and some were crying. It was a complete chaos.
This man arrested them because they must have the same characteristics.
Xie Ling pondered in her mind, what exactly is the same?
In terms of appearance, there are both beautiful and ugly people in prison.
The boy next door is handsome.
The face she had disguised herself in had a sallow complexion and dull eyes, and was truly unremarkable.
In terms of gender, there are males and females.
As for their professions, she is a doctor and the man next to her is a killer, so they are completely unrelated.
I scanned it a few more times.
Xie Ling suddenly had an idea.
It can’t be… thin?
Although this answer is absurd.
But Xie Ling discovered that all the people in the cell had nothing in common except that they were thin and had slim waists.
Xie Ling recalled what the driver said to her when she was riding in the carriage in the afternoon after taking a glance at her figure.
There was also Ma Laopiao, who only decided to take her to the Hacker Stack on a whim after seeing her figure clearly under the light.
When Xie Ling thought about how Tonghua City was such a big city but there were so few young girls coming out to play, this idea became more and more confirmed in her mind.
Because girls are the smallest and thinnest.
In fact, she discovered that the people in Tonghua City were relatively fat.
But she didn't care about it, thinking that Tonghua City was prosperous and the people had a high quality of life.
Xie Ling almost wanted to cover her face and laugh.
This reason is too ridiculous.
Although her face was changed, her figure did not change much.
Ben is tall, and wearing loose men's clothing, she is indeed thin and slender, with a bit of a fragile look.
Could it be that he has some secret hobby for kidnapping this person?
For identity.
Xie Ling also had a rough guess.
In Tonghua City, everyone in the city knows that the only person with great power and the ability to cover the sky with one hand is the city lord.
Xie Ling felt relieved after understanding the current situation. She hated being ignorant.
He tilted his head to look at the young man in the next cell. He was leaning against the wall with his hands folded across his chest, with a cold expression, standing straighter than a sword.
Xie Ling took a look at his figure and found that he was indeed thin. His shoulder blades were slightly raised under the black cloth and his waist was thinner than that of a girl.
In the current situation, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. If I can win over this young killer to join forces with me, the chances of escaping will definitely be greater.
She approached the fence and whispered, "Brother, do you want to know why we are locked up?"
The boy closed his eyes.
"not interested."
He just wants to kill people.
Xie Ling said directly: "I can take you out."
The young man opened his eyelids, his eyes dark as he looked at Xie carefully for a long time before he sneered slowly.
"Just you, a doctor?"
At this moment, Tonghua City was full of doctors who were taking the boat to Wei Zhao. Naturally, the young man saw through Xie Ling's identity at a glance.
Xie Ling said in a cold voice, "You are a martial arts master, if you are awake, they will not be able to do anything to you.
But you can't do anything about this drug, right? I've just made an antidote. If you want to get out, you can only rely on me."
There was finally a hint of interest in the boy's eyes.
"I can hold my breath."
"This drug is useless if you hold your breath."
The boy narrowed his eyes and still didn't want to cooperate with Xie Ling.
"When the cells are full, they will take a group of people out. Your arrival just happened to fill up the cells.
So they will come to pick up the person today, and I just need to kill them all before they drug me."
The boy's tone was grim.
In this world, no one can be faster than his sword.
Xie Ling: "How do you know there's no one outside the cell?"
The young man said indifferently: "Then I will continue to kill."
Xie Ling curled her lips and looked him in the eye. "In fact, you are already moved, right? Cooperate with me, and everything will be safe. I won't hurt you, I promise."
There was a brief silence.
The boy raised his eyes.
"How do I know whether the antidote you mentioned is real or not?"
Xie Ling just stood there openly, allowing him to look at her.
"If it's fake, then how did you wake up?"
The young man frowned. Normally he would sleep for a whole day, but today he woke up early.
He stared at Xie Ling's clear eyes for a while.
"Row."
Hearing the boy's reluctant voice, Xie Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
This way your chances of winning are greater.
He will take the attack in the front while I will put the antidote in the back.
Now that the two are allies, Xie Ling told the young man all the results of his speculation.
When he heard the city lord, the boy's expression did not change. He probably guessed it.
When he heard that they were arrested because of their thin waists, the boy's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a hot pot, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"impossible."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man in the cell across the street let out a long sigh.
"I was in a bad mood these days and skipped a few meals. I didn't expect to be targeted! This is ridiculous!"
Xie Ling asked him, "Brother, are you also from Tonghua?"
The man nodded and looked at Xie Ling as if he were a close friend.
"Yes! All the thin waists in the city have been captured, so the guards have focused their attention on outsiders in the past few months.
I also let my guard down. But I didn’t expect that I would be caught just because I skipped a few meals and became thinner…”
Xie Ling sighed, "Oh, I don't know when I can get out."
The man's eyes widened, he shook his head and muttered: "How can they leave? The city lord loves thin waists. I have never heard of those who were captured returning.
It would be fine if it was a girl, but it's a sin for a grown man like me.
Fortunately, the city lord will properly arrange for the families of each person who is captured, otherwise I would really worry about my eighty-year-old mother......"
When the other people in the prison found out that the reason they were arrested was because of their thin waist, they all looked incredulous.
But since the locals of Tonghua City have spoken, how could they not believe it?
Several women were already shyly discussing the city lord's appearance and age.
"I wonder what the city lord looks like? I'm not married yet.
"I just want to know how old he is? Don't be an old man."
Xie Ling thought that she had guessed right.
The person who kidnapped them was the city lord.
This city lord is either a pervert or has other motives. He goes around picking up people with thin waists, both men and women.
The people in Tonghua City were already used to this and could only try their best to gain weight to avoid being targeted.
If they arrest foreigners, they will naturally not arrest the locals.
So the locals won’t remind outsiders.
This has led to more and more outsiders being arrested.
People like Ma Laopiao were probably matchmakers who introduced suitable outsiders to the City Lord's Mansion's guards in order to earn extra money.
The boy listened to the conversation between Xie Ling and the local man.
His face was as cold as ice, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
He, the ultimate killer of Guangyao Palace, with the best martial arts in the world, was caught by a man just because of his thin waist?
When he catches the city lord, he will tear him into pieces.
There was a loud "pop" sound.
The originally noisy prison suddenly became quiet.
An impatient voice came from outside.
"What are you arguing about? Be quiet. If you make the city lord unhappy, you will have to pay the price."
As soon as he finished speaking, the small window above everyone's head opened, and a rope slowly sank down, with a lunch box hanging at the end.
Xie Ling opened it and took a look. It was not poisonous, just ordinary food.
But she didn't eat it.
The boy next to him didn't eat either.
Xie Ling guessed that the boy was probably only concerned about when he could kill someone.
Not long after the meal, the prison gate was opened and a group of guards walked in.
The leading man had a long sword hanging from his waist, his face grim, "You are lucky to be favored by our city lord. Follow me obediently and serve the city lord. If anyone resists—"
The man chopped the chair in the aisle with his knife, and the chair broke into pieces instantly.
“Like this stool!”
The people in the prison had different expressions, but no one dared to say a word.
When he heard the word "serve", the boy's face turned cold enough to freeze.
He turned his head and glanced at Xie Ling.
Xie Ling nodded slightly.
When the guard came forward to open the door, the young man flew out instantly.
He produced a long sword from nowhere, and Xie Ling only had time to see a few afterimages.
In a flash, all the guards, including the arrogant captain, were hacked to death on the ground.
The ground was covered with blood.
The other people in the prison were even more confused.
what happened?
They just blinked.
Xie Ling was originally afraid that these guards had drugged her, so she prepared the antidote early.
Now it seems that it is not necessary at all.
The boy’s martial arts are too fast.
He is indeed the Tianjue Killer, and his reputation is well deserved.
The young man looked disgusted, took out the key from the guard on the ground, and opened the door for Xie Ling.
The tone is as concise as ever.
"Antidote."
Xie Ling understood that this meant they were going to part ways with each other.
She had just secretly prepared a lot of antidote and gave half of it to the boy.
The young man took it and left, his back elegant and resolute, with no trace of regret.
Xie Ling looked at the other people in the cell.
He took out all the keys from the guards' bodies and threw them to them one by one, asking them to open the door themselves.
I can only help them up to this point.
She has big things to do next.
While it was dark, she wanted to sneak into the city lord's mansion and empty his warehouse!
This city lord is rich enough to rival a country, so he must have a lot of good things.
How dare he, a pervert, catch me?
He must be taught a lesson.
The cell is underground.
Xie Ling climbed the stairs for an incense stick of time before reaching the prison gate.
As soon as I walked out, I smelled a pungent smell of blood.
The night breeze was almost nauseating.
When I looked around, I found that the outside of the cell was full of dead bodies!
There were so many bodies piled up one on top of the other, their blood still warm.
Xie Ling casually flipped through it and saw that all of them were killed with a single knife.
It must have been that young man who killed him just now.
She had only been looking through keys for a few minutes, and this boy had killed so many people?
I estimate there are at least a few hundred, right?
He is indeed a killer who kills people without mercy.
No concept of life at all.
In his eyes, people's lives are probably as worthless as cabbages.
You must not make him your enemy.
This person is too dangerous.
I heard footsteps behind me, probably the people in the prison were gradually coming out.
Xie Ling used Qinggong to quickly leave the place.
After all, there are many people and many eyes.
---
Outside the prison is a peach orchard.
The surrounding rockeries, streams, rocks, pavilions and towers are very exquisite.
The prison is located in a courtyard that looks very elegant on the surface.
Xie Ling guessed that this might be the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion.
In ancient architecture, the owner's residence was often located on the central axis.
The storeroom is usually right next to the bedroom.
Xie Ling used Qinggong to fly onto the roof, constructed a geometric model of the building in his mind, and walked straight to the center.
The City Lord’s Mansion is really big, almost as big as the Beijiang Imperial Palace.
It’s just that the architectural style is somewhat unique. It doesn’t have the grandeur of Beijiang, but is more like the style of Nanzhao, exquisite and unique.
After seeing the exquisitely shaped building in the center, Xie Ling's eyes lit up, knowing that she had found the right place.
She used Qinggong and just as she landed, she found something wrong with the soles of her feet.
Looking down, it was another corpse?
The next second, a sharp sword was placed on his neck, making him feel cold.
Xie Ling raised her eyes along the sword tip.
The boy's eyes were indifferent, and the silver lotus between his eyebrows was completely revealed under the moonlight. He asked her coldly: "Are you following me?"
Xie Ling quietly clenched the pistol in her sleeve and said, "I didn't follow you. I just couldn't bear to see the city lord's behavior and wanted to seek revenge on him."
The boy said "Oh".
Unexpectedly, the next second, before Xie Ling could even react, the pistol in her hand was snatched away.
Xie Ling's eyes turned cold instantly, her whole body tensed up, and she was ready to fight the boy at any time.
But the boy just played with it casually, found there was nothing special about it, and threw it back to her.
"I can't find the city lord. I killed everyone in his mansion and still can't find him."
After a pause, he continued, "The antidote you gave me is good and has helped me a lot. Do you want to continue cooperating?"
