Chapter 410 Panic
After hearing Duanmu Rong's words, Dong Guo Zhi was also very puzzled.
"Rong'er, what nonsense are you talking about? I think that's just a hallucination caused by overwork. We only claim to the outside world that this is a ghost village, but there are no real ghosts here!"
Although Dong Guo Zhi said this, Duanmu Rong still showed unprecedented panic. Seeing the panic in Duanmu Rong's eyes, Dong Guo Zhi couldn't help but start thinking.
"Rong'er's expression doesn't seem like she's lying, and Yue'er has really disappeared. Could it be that someone has already infiltrated the ghost village?"
Thinking of this, Dong Guozhi hurriedly said to Uncle Yong beside him:
"Uncle Yong, quickly lead a team of Mohist disciples to thoroughly search the Ghost Village, leaving no corner unchecked. I suspect someone has already infiltrated the village." Upon hearing Dongguo Zhi's words, Uncle Yong understood the gravity of the situation, nodded solemnly to Dongguo Zhi, and quickly left the room. Even after Uncle Yong left, Dongguo Zhi remained concerned for the safety of the Ghost Village, especially given Duanmu Rong's presence...
They were still in a state of panic.
After weighing the pros and cons, Dongguo Zhi could only sigh helplessly and said to the two Mohist disciples beside him:
"You two keep a close watch outside Rong'er's room. If anything unusual happens, be ready to report to me immediately."
Upon hearing Dongguo Zhi's order, the two Mohist disciples hurriedly bowed.
"Yes, sir."
Upon seeing this, Dong Guozhi said to Duanmu Rong with a hint of pity:
"Rong'er, I need to go check the security measures in Ghost Village now. I can't stay here with you. If anything happens, just shout. I've placed two Mo family disciples outside your door to protect you."
However, after Dongguo Zhi finished speaking, Duanmu Rong's face remained expressionless, still showing immense panic. Seeing this, Dongguo Zhi looked at Duanmu Rong with heartache and reluctantly left the room.
Just as Dong Guozhi walked out of Duanmu Rong's room, the panicked look on Duanmu Rong's face vanished instantly, replaced by a sly expression as she watched Dong Guozhi slowly walk out of the room with a playful smile.
After Dongguo Zhi left Duanmu Rong's room, Duanmu Rong carefully got off her bed. Then she took out several medicine bottles from her cloth bag and began to prepare the medicine.
"Chief, there has been no unusual activity in the Ghost Village, and we have not found any trace of Miss Gao Yue."
"Chief, so am I."
After listening to the report from the Mohist disciples, a solemn expression appeared on Dong Guozhi's face, and his heart pounded with anxiety.
"Could it really be as Rong'er said, that there are ghosts in the ghost village? No, no, that's impossible. There must be some oversight that allowed an unknown enemy to infiltrate."
Thinking of this, Dongguo Zhi suddenly remembered a place and hurriedly said to the many Mohist disciples:
"All disciples, come with me."
After Dong Guozhi finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed towards the entrance of the ghost village. However, when he saw that the mechanisms inside the entrance of the ghost village were completely undamaged, he immediately realized how troublesome the situation was.
Now, the enemy is in the shadows, while they are in the open. Dongguo Zhi was at a loss as to how to handle this situation, and could only helplessly say to the Mohist disciples standing beside him:
“From today onwards, until the matter is fully investigated, everyone must come out in groups of three and is absolutely not allowed to act on their own. Furthermore, at night, only Mo family disciples who are required to patrol can come out; no one else is allowed to wander around at night.”
"You shall pass on the order to the other Mohist disciples and members of the Xiang clan residing in Ghost Village."
After hearing Dongguo Zhi's words, the Mohist disciples exchanged glances, bowed to Dongguo Zhi, and said:
"Yes!"
"Dong dong dong."
After hearing the urgent knocking at the door, Xiang Shaoyu and Xiang Liang hurriedly dressed and opened the door. A disciple dressed in Mohist attire rushed towards them and said:
"General, someone has infiltrated Ghost Village. To prevent any accidents, please inform the disciples of the Xiang clan not to wander around at night, and that everyone should go out in groups of three from their rooms."
Xiang Liang was quite shocked after hearing the Mohist disciple's words. He looked at the disciple in surprise and said:
"What exactly happened to the Mohists? Could it be that Qin soldiers have infiltrated them?"
After hearing Xiang Liang's words, the disciple shook his head, thought for a moment, and said to Xiang Liang, "It shouldn't be. Just now, we went to the entrance of the Ghost Village with the leader to observe, but none of the mechanisms in the Ghost Village were triggered. However, Miss Gao Yue disappeared inexplicably. So, the one who infiltrated must be a master. Please, General, be sure to inquire with the Xiang clan brothers..."
We have been notified.
Upon hearing the disciple's words, Xiang Liang hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
"Thank you very much, I will definitely remember it."
"Very well, General. Then I won't linger any longer. I still need to relay the orders to the others. Farewell."
"Farewell!"
After seeing the Mohist disciple off, Xiang Liang and Xiang Shaoyu slowly walked to their room. At this moment, Xiang Shaoyu asked his uncle with a puzzled expression:
"Uncle, what kind of expert do you think could have infiltrated here? Could it be him?"
After hearing Xiang Shaoyu's words, Xiang Liang said thoughtfully:
"I think it must be him, because only someone with his strength could enter the ghost village without anyone noticing."
After hearing his uncle's words, Xiang Shaoyu hurriedly said to Xiang Liang:
"Uncle, should we tell the Mo family our suspicions?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Liang quickly stopped Xiang Shaoyu from speaking further. He cautiously glanced towards the door to make sure no one was there before whispering to Xiang Shaoyu, "Yu'er, some things are better left unsaid."
Chapter 411 Safe Return
After hearing his uncle's words, Xiang Shaoyu nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite. Meanwhile, after Duanmu Rong had developed the hallucinogenic drug, she quietly put the white powder into a jade bottle and lay down on her bed to rest.
Get up. On the other hand, after Luo Chen took Gao Yue from Duanmu Rong, he didn't intend to return to his own residence. Instead, he found a long-abandoned and very secluded wooden house in the ghost village. After Chi Lian completely cleaned the dust from the house, Luo...
Chen gradually walked into the wooden house. Gao Yue had already woken up, but unfortunately, her body was bound with rope and a rag was stuffed in her mouth, preventing her from moving or screaming. When Gao Yue saw Luo Chen approaching her with a lewd grin, she hurriedly and panicked, turning to Luo...
Dust whimpered. But Luo Chen, seeing her like this, remained unmoved. He conjured a drop of Demon King's blood from his clothes. After Luo Chen removed the rag from Gao Yue's mouth, before Gao Yue could even cry for help, the Demon King's blood in Luo Chen's hand...
Blood was poured directly into Gao Yue's mouth.
The moment Gao Yue swallowed the Demon King's blood, she felt a deafening roar in her brain, and the instantaneous pain nearly made her faint. Cold sweat began to stream down her forehead and cheeks.
At the same time, a pleasant system voice rang in Luo Chen's mind.
"Ding, Gao Yue has become the host's servant."
Servant's name: Gao Yue.
"Item obtained: Illusory Sound Box"
"Servant loyalty: 5."
"..."
In agony, Gao Yue clutched her head with both hands, letting out agonizing screams. Upon hearing Gao Yue's screams, Luo Chen, to prevent his whereabouts from being revealed, once again placed the rag he was holding into Gao Yue's mouth.
Only after Gao Yue's pain gradually subsided did her screams begin to fade. When Luo Chen saw this, he laughed and pounced on Gao Yue.
"Ding, the servant's loyalty to the host has increased by one point."
"Ding, the servant's loyalty to the host has increased by three points."
"Ding, the servant's loyalty to the host has failed to be increased."
"..." As the system notifications continued to ring in Luo Chen's mind, until Gao Yue's loyalty reached ten, Luo Chen lay down on the bed in the dilapidated house with a satisfied expression. After resting enough, Luo Chen gradually removed the hemp ropes binding Gao Yue's body.
The rag was removed from her mouth. Gao Yue, her face streaked with tears, shivered on the bed. Upon seeing this, Luo Chen quickly conjured a Demon King Candy from his hand. When Gao Yue saw the red candy in Luo Chen's hand, her eyes revealed an indescribable longing, staring at him with pleading eyes.
Seeing the candy in Luo Chen's hand, Luo Chen, without hesitation, threw the Demon King Candy at Gao Yue after noticing Gao Yue's gaze. Gao Yue, seeing Luo Chen's action, snatched the red candy and happily swallowed it.
.
After Gao Yue swallowed the Demon King Candy, she looked at Luo Chen with lingering desire, hoping he would reward her with another. Seeing this, Luo Chen chuckled and said to Gao Yue:
"Would you like another one of these candies?"
After hearing Luo Chen's words, Gao Yue nodded heavily and said to Luo Chen in a proud and weak voice:
"This servant begs Master for another piece of candy." As she finished speaking, Gao Yue, like a kitten, nestled closer to Luo Chen's chest, nuzzling his shoulder with her head. Seeing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter, using his thick...
Shi's large hand touched Gao Yue's cheek, and he said to Gao Yue:
"Of course I can give it to you, but you must complete the task I assign you before you can have this candy as a reward. If you fail, you'll never get to eat it again." When Gao Yue first heard that Luo Chen was really going to give her this candy, she was overjoyed. However, after Luo Chen finished speaking, especially when she realized that if she failed her task, she would never get to eat this candy again, she began to panic.
With a hint of fear in her voice, she asked Luo Chen:
"Please give your orders, Master."
Luo Chen's smile gradually faded, and he turned to Gao Yue with a solemn expression, saying:
"Come closer." Seeing the solemn expression on Luo Chen's face, Gao Yue slowly brought her ear to his lips. About an hour later, after dressing herself properly, Gao Yue emerged from the dilapidated house. Seeing that no one was around...
Only after finding the trail did they hurriedly head towards the ghost village. Meanwhile, Uncle Yong, who had been watching the surroundings near the outhouse, quickly lowered his body to avoid revealing his location after seeing a familiar figure at the village entrance. It wasn't until Uncle Yong could clearly see Gao Yue that he gradually...
His own head was exposed.
However, Uncle Yong didn't rush to reveal his location. Instead, he quietly observed Gao Yue. Only after confirming that no one was following her did he hurriedly run out of the outhouse and head towards Gao Yue.
Upon seeing Uncle Yong, Gao Yue stopped in her tracks. Looking at the panting Uncle Yong, she asked him in confusion:
"Uncle Yong, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Uncle Yong was even more confused after hearing Gao Yue's words. He felt that he should be the one asking Gao Yue that question, but instead, she was asking him the same one. So, he said to Gao Yue, somewhat annoyed, "How dare you say that! Where have you been these past two days? The whole village has been looking for you like crazy! And you're acting like nothing happened!"
Chapter 412 Poisoning
After hearing Uncle Yong's words, Gao Yue looked bewildered and asked him in confusion, "Really? But I've been staying in the village the whole time and haven't gone anywhere else. I remember that night I was knocked unconscious by a shadow dressed in white and then flew away. When I woke up, I found myself still in the ghost village, and I saw no one around."
He hurriedly ran back.
After hearing Gao Yue's words, Uncle Yong felt as if he were dreaming. He smacked his head hard and then said to Gao Yue:
"Forget it, you should go and talk to Xiaozhi. The whole village has been in a state of panic these past few days, and Xiaozhi has been busy searching for you all day long."
After listening to Uncle Yong's words, Gao Yue nodded nonchalantly and calmly said to Uncle Yong:
"Okay, Uncle Yong, I understand. I'm a little tired now. I'll go back to my room and get some sleep before going to find Brother Xiaozhi!" After saying this, Gao Yue left before Uncle Yong could reply. As Uncle Yong watched Gao Yue's departing figure, he felt a strange unease, a feeling he couldn't quite put into words. His heart...
Thinking:
"Perhaps Gao Yue was really too tired during the time she was away! Never mind, I'll go and tell Xiao Zhi! I hope I'm just overthinking it."
When Uncle Yong thought of this, he slowly walked towards Dong Guozhi's room.
"Xiao Zhi? Are you in your room? Xiao Zhi?"
As Uncle Yong continued to call out, Dong Guozhi gradually opened the door and came out. When Dong Guozhi saw that Uncle Yong was not guarding his hidden post but had come to find him, he guessed that something must have happened, and hurriedly asked Uncle Yong:
"What's wrong, Uncle Yong? Has something happened?"
At this moment, Uncle Yong looked at Dong Guo Zhi with a hint of worry in his eyes and said:
"Xiao Zhi, Miss Gao Yue is back."
"What?! Sister Yue'er is back?!"
Dong Guozhi stared at Uncle Yong in shock, unable to believe what he was hearing. He wanted to confirm with Uncle Yong that he hadn't misheard.
"Uncle Yong, is what you're saying true? But why do I see disbelief on your face?"
After hearing Dong Guozhi's words, Uncle Yong slowly revealed his own guesses to Dong Guozhi.
"Xiao Zhi, I have a feeling that Gao Yue is acting strangely this time. She seems much more distant from everyone. I asked her to come and wish you a safe return, but she told me right away that she was too tired and wanted to go back to rest. Do you think I'm being too paranoid?"
After saying this, Dong Guozhi casually said to Uncle Yong, "Uncle Yong, I think you're overthinking it. Perhaps Yue'er was really frightened and just too tired! Now that Gao Yue'er is back, I can rest assured. But what I said before still needs to be done. I believe in that mysterious..."
The people are still in the ghost village.
Meanwhile, Gao Yue gradually returned to her room. Upon seeing Gao Yue's return, Duanmu Rong guessed that her master had released her, and that Gao Yue might have become her master's servant. Therefore, she asked Gao Yue with suspicion:
"Yue'er, does Master have any new instructions?" Upon hearing Duanmu Rong's words, Gao Yue quickly put her finger to her lips in a shushing gesture, then cautiously peeked towards the door before quickly closing it. She carefully approached Duanmu Rong and whispered...
He said to Duanmu Rong:
"Sister Rong'er, Master says we can begin our operation!"
After hearing Gao Yue's words, Duanmu Rong quickly took out two jade bottles from under her pillow on the bed, handed one of them to Gao Yue, and whispered to her:
"Moon, this is Illusion Powder. Pour the medicine into the well water of the Ghost Village, and I believe they will start hallucinating soon, and the master's plan will soon be realized."
As soon as Duanmu Rong finished speaking, Gao Yue and Duanmu Rong gradually began to laugh.
"Rong'er, Yue'er? Are you there? Rong'er, Yue'er?" Upon hearing the voices outside the door, Duanmu Rong and Gao Yue quickly stopped laughing and cautiously peeked through the crack in the door. Just as Duanmu Rong saw Dongguo Zhi waiting anxiously outside, she swiftly opened the door, looking rather annoyed.
He shouted at Dong Guozhi:
"What are you shouting for! Don't you know that Yue'er is frightened and needs to rest!"
