After being busy for several hours, everyone didn't find any useful clues in the village, and Qi Lu couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on his face.
Yi Hanchuan patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "This is the illusion set up by the demon, he only needs one thought to erase or change the original traces, and it is normal that we can't find any clues." ” Qi Lu looked into the distance and was silent, the empty village fell silent, only the sound of whimpering wind swept indifferently across the eardrums.
Hu Lei stepped forward, stared at the snow that had not yet melted, and said with some hesitation: "If you want to say that this is an illusion, I am a little unsure. ” Yi Hanchuan looked at him coldly, "What do you think?"
"It's too real to convince me that it's a fantasy.
Fantasy masters like you and me, even if they can transform what others think into a virtual world, it is always unreal.
And the world we see in front of us has no such weird atmosphere at all. ” "Are you singing praises for the enemy" Yi Hanchuan was furious, he used to think that Hu Qingyun was a burden among them, but now he found out that Hu Lei was a troublemaker.
"Forget it, you guys just think I'm farting."
Hu Lei saw that the boss's face was displeased, so he shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking.
Hong Yi chuckled lightly and said, "You don't have to be discouraged, in my opinion, instead of trying to find clues, it is better to sit and wait for the murderer to show his true face." ” Qi Lu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"Whether he's trying to kill us or get the parts of Houyi's Divine Bow, this guy has to look for his next target.
As long as we unite and don't give him a chance to break through, we will naturally be able to catch him when he commits murder. ” "Good idea, this demon will show up sooner or later."
Yi Hanchuan nodded yes, and then beckoned everyone back to the hotel to rest.
After returning to the hotel, Qi Lu went to Hu Qingyun's room again, although after discovering the body, Yi Hanchuan and Hong Yi immediately searched his room, but they were also cautious people, and the rooms they searched still remained the same as they were, and they did not destroy the scene too much.
Qi Lu didn't expect to find clues such as the murderer's fingerprints and footprints in the room, because if the gods and demons committed crimes, it would be impossible to leave these conspicuous clues, not to mention that they were still in an illusion.
The futon on the bed was neatly folded, and on the surface, it seemed that Hu Qingyun did not go back to the room to rest after separating from Qi Lu last night, but Qi Lu immediately rejected the idea because he saw that the window was open.
Lao Wu also noticed this phenomenon, he frowned and said: "It is likely that he noticed movement outside as soon as he returned to the room, so he jumped out of the window to investigate, and was poisoned." ” Hong Yi said: "At first, I had the same idea as you, so I flew out of the window and searched along the way, but I didn't find any traces left by Brother Hu.
Mr.
Qi, do you want me to accompany you to search again?"
"No need."
Hong Yi can be said to be the incarnation of Yanshi, a monster like him with great wisdom has found nothing, and Qi Lu believes that he will be busy looking for it again.
He paused and said: "The window is not necessarily opened by Hu Qingyun, maybe this is a false impression deliberately set up by the murderer in an attempt to disrupt our vision." ” There was a sudden silence in the room, because everyone was flustered and didn't know what to do.
Later, it was Yi Hanchuan who took over the conversation.
"It's not early, let's go have lunch first."
After speaking, Yi Hanchuan went to the kitchen to make a hearty lunch.
Everyone was tired, and they didn't say anything polite, they took the plate and gobbled it up, but no one was in the mood to drink, even Lao Wu seemed to be preoccupied, and there was a dull air in front of the dining table.
After eating, Qi Lu stood up and told everyone that he wanted to go back to the room to rest.
Hu Lei sneered and responded: "Didn't everyone discuss it just now, if you want to get together during the day, why did Your Excellency take the lead in violating this rule?"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were shooting towards him, Qi Lu said a little tiredly: "The murderer's next target should not be me, because even if he collects the parts of the Qi key, but he doesn't know how to use it, he still can't get the Houyi Divine Bow." ” "So, you're hanging up on your own business; Or maybe they want to dump us and make some small moves behind our backs" Hu Lei's words were very unkind, he had always been suspicious of Qi Lu.
"Maybe there's something wrong with the way I'm expressing it."
Qi Lu didn't want to let himself become the object of everyone's suspicion, so he said patiently: "I need to calm down and sort out my chaotic thoughts, so that I can have a chance to find the murderer's motive for committing the crime." ” "God is mysterious, the devil knows what you are doing" Before Hu Lei's words were finished, Yi Hanchuan stopped him from continuing.
Then Yi Han Chuanpi said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case."
What if the murderer takes advantage of you to be alone?"
"I'll stay with him.
I don't believe that guy can kill both of us in an instant.
Lao Wu said with a full burp.
"Well, please notify us in case of danger."
The corners of Yi Hanchuan's mouth revealed a hint of imperceptible coldness.
As soon as he returned to the room, Qi Lu was stunned, because he saw that there were books on the bedside, and there were no books in his room before.
Qi Lu hesitated and stepped forward and took the thin book in his hand.
It's a very new thread-bound book, as if it had just been printed and hastily placed on the bedside.
The cover has no title, no decorative pattern, just a page as bright as blood.
"Strange, who put this book in the room" Lao Wu was stunned for a moment and said, "When I went out early in the morning, I didn't see a book on your bed. ” "Yes, I didn't find out either."
Qi Lu paused and said, "Who put this book at the head of the bed, is it the murderer?"
"It's possible."
"Then what is the purpose of his doing this, is he deliberately leaving me some hints" While speaking, Qi Lu browsed the content of the book and found that it recorded some mythological stories, not only the myths of ancient China, but also the myths and legends of other countries.

Lao Wu said worriedly: "If it's really like what you said, this guy is too rampant." ” Qi Lu was stunned when he heard this, and a sentence that Hu Qingyun said last night suddenly sounded in his mind.
"I've seen a cat catch a mouse, it will keep teasing the mouse, frequently release the prey in its hands, and then catch it back until the mouse is exhausted and can't run."
Looking back now, Qi Lu realized that Hu Qingyun's words were not unreasonable, was it really because Hu Qingyun discovered the murderer's attempt, so he attracted the disaster of killing At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, and then looked up and said to Lao Wu: "Go open the door, it should be Yi Hanchuan who came to observe our movements." ” "These little demons have never treated us as friends."
As he spoke, Lao Wu had already opened the door, and he was speechless in surprise.
When he stepped aside, the people outside the house entered the room, not only Yi Hanchuan, but also several other monsters.
But at this moment, Qi Lu and Lao Wu had the same surprised expression, because he saw that these monsters were each holding a book with the same cover as his.
"That's right."
Yi Hanchuan was a little frustrated, and he threw the book in his hand into Qi Lu's arms.
Qi Lu settled down, and quickly compared his book with the book in his hand, and found that the content was completely consistent.
But Qi Lu immediately discovered that his book was still a little different, that is, the last page of the book was torn off.
He flipped through Yi Hanchuan's complete book, and found that the content of the last page told the story of Pangu's opening of the world.
This is a well-known story, why did I tear off the last page of this book Qi Lu muttered and closed the book, staring at the cover without a title for a long time.
Hong Yi raised the book in his hand and said, "Just now I went back to the room to set up a few puppets just in case, but suddenly found that there was more of this book on the bedside, so I went downstairs to inform Brother Yi, and it turned out that everyone had the same book in their room. ” Lao Wu's eyes lit up, and he turned around and walked towards the door.
"What do you want to do," Ji Wei stopped him vigilantly.
"I want to go to my room and see if there is a broken book like this."
"No need to look for it, we've already searched your room just now."
The Demon Leader held two books in his right hand, and he handed one of them to Lao Wu.
Old Wu was silent, he sat down on the chair dejectedly, took out the wine jug and drank it himself.
"Is there a book in Hu Qingyun's room?"
Qi Lu suddenly remembered this question.
"No, we all have this book in our room, but he doesn't."
Hong Yi replied.
"So, there are seven books."
Why didn't Hu Qingyun have Qi Lu in his room trembling and compared the two books in his hand again, and found that there were a total of nine myths and stories recorded in the books.
The first story is an ancient Greek myth about Acteon stumbling into the sanctum of the moon god Artemis while hunting, and accidentally saw the naked body of Artemis bathing.
Artemis turned him into a stag in order to prevent the secret from leaking out, and poor Acteon was bitten to death by an unwitting hound.
The second story is a fragment of Egyptian mythology in which the goddess Isis finds the body of her husband Osiris in a willow tree in Syria.
Just as she was about to resurrect her husband, the evil god Seth heard the news and threw her brother's body into 14 pieces and threw it into the river.
The third story is the well-known Chang'e running to the moon, which saddened Qi Lu that his best friend Hou Yi was killed by his apprentice Han Xuan after Chang'e left.
The more Qi Lu looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he found that the first eight of the nine stories in the book were all related to death, and only the last Pangu opened the world to make people feel less depressed.
Why did the person who compiled this collection of myths and stories put this book on everyone's bedside, but there was no book in the dead Hu Qingyun's room, what was his intention in doing this, Qi Lu felt that the doubts in his mind were getting thicker and thicker, but no matter how he racked his brains, he couldn't think of the meaning of the mysterious man's compilation of this book. i0 t1706231537:
