Since ancient times, sand devils have conquered villains

Still want.

After distinguishing these two words, Shi Dai's tail vertebrae felt numb.

She subconsciously looked away, not to meet Jiang Baiyan's eyes, but she felt that it was too tiring to be secretive, so she simply looked directly into his eyes.

Jiang Baiyan's expression was soft and quiet, which could be called innocent.
However, if you look closely, you will see that the peach blossoms are curled up without any trace, and there is no sign of pain or grievance at all.

Instead, it looks like a gorgeous and dangerous snake.
Shi Dai was entangled in the snake's long tail and moved closer to it.

She secretly twisted her fingertips to suppress her erratic heartbeat, and blew on the wound again.

This time the breath is soft and long, like a veil covering it, lingering for a long time.
When she raised her head, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes and smiled softly: "Thank you very much."

Shi Dai touched her hot ear and said, "No need."

Jiang Baiyan's injury was not serious. After applying ointment, he lowered his sleeves to cover it.
In the past, he didn't even bother to apply medicine for such a minor injury.

After finishing her work here, Shi Dai looked to the other side: "How did your discussion go?"

While Jiang Baiyan was applying the medicine, she heard several people behind her discussing the next step.

Shi Yunsheng opened his dark eyes and stared blankly at Jiang Baiyan.
He vaguely understood something, but seemed to understand nothing. He instinctively felt that he had seen what scheming was today.

Adults are scary.

Shen Liushuang crossed his arms and frowned.
Who keeps complaining about pain, but always feels comfortable and smiles?Jiang Baiyan, that brat, is extremely poor at acting.

It was impossible for Shi Dai not to see it, but she did not refuse.

……Fine.
Shen Liushuang half-closed her eyes.

"We didn't discuss the reason."
Baili Qingzhi looked tired: "I can only try to walk around to find Song Ting and Zhenyan."

"I have another idea."
Shen Liushuang said: "Supporting such a large illusion consumes a lot of physical strength. After a while, when the murderer becomes weak and his control over the illusion is reduced -"

She raised her eyebrows slightly: "We can use brute force to break the formation head-on."

It's simple and crude but effective to poke a hole in the illusion.
Of course, this will only happen after the person behind the scenes has lost most of his strength and is unable to maintain the illusion.

"this is okay."
Nie Zhan geared up: "My spiritual energy is very abundant."

"However," Shi Dai said, "Bailixiao and Baililiang died about half an hour apart. The murderer killed so fast..."

Shi Dai frowned: "How many people does he want to kill?"

This sentence made people's hair stand on end for no reason. Baili Qingzhi's expression changed and she tightened her grip on Shen Liushuang's arm.

"Besides, that guy is very powerful!"
Recalling the man in black robe, Nie Zhan was still frightened: "He was able to defeat my flying sword with one move. What is his origin? Is he the legendary Heart-Zhancing Sword?"

Qin Jiujiu lowered his head and looked at his silver scissors.
The man in black robe also scattered her shadow puppets.

"Song Ting said that there is a high probability that the Heart-Zipping Sword is from an official family."
Shi Dai remembered the question she had not had time to ask before: "The Heart-Zipping Sword appeared 20 years ago... When did Yan Qinghuan, the governor who drowned, take office?"

Yan Qinghuan was startled: "It seems to be more than 20 years ago!"

Shen Liushuang understood what she meant: "Do you think the governor is a heart-cutting knife?"

"Not 'feel'."
Shi Dai twitched the corner of her mouth: "There are too few clues, so we can only rely on the two that may be related."

It actually makes sense to associate the governor with the heart-cutting knife.

"Yan Qinghuan said that the governor was upright and a good and upright official."
Shi Dai said: "Maybe the governor is not Zhanxin Dao himself, but according to this logic, he must know Zhanxin Dao."

As a result, the Heart-Zhancing Sword can eliminate evildoers through old cases in the files.

"But," Shi Yunsheng interrupted, "the governor more than ten years ago——"

Suddenly figuring out the clue, the child blinked quickly.

"The governor passed away more than ten years ago."
Yan Qinghuan realized: "Today's murderer avenged him?"

Shi Dai snapped her fingers: "Yes."

The clue of the Heart-Zhancing Knife has nothing to do with the Baili family.
From a long time ago, Shi Dai has been thinking about the meaning of the vertical knife marks on the corpse.

"The Heart-Zhancing Sword kills people with one blow and leaves no trace."
Shi Dai said: "To make such a big noise tonight is completely inconsistent with his usual behavior."

Shen Liushuang said "Yeah": "It seems like a personal revenge."

The parade of prison cars, the announcement of charges, everything in the fantasy has a clear meaning of punishment.

"To sum up, I have three guesses."
Shi Dai said: "The first type is that the governor is Zhanxin Dao himself. He was murdered by the Baili family more than ten years ago. His relatives or friends inherited the name of 'Xinxin Dao'. In these years, he has been a chivalrous and righteous person. .”

"The second."
Shi Debi pointed out two fingers: "The governor and Zhanxin Dao have a close relationship. Through the governor, Zhanxin Dao was able to read the files. Later, the governor was killed, and Zhanxin Dao came to seek revenge tonight."

"The third type is our original idea."
Shi Dai said: "The heart-cutting knife knew the dead Bailice and his wife, and this time it is to avenge them."

"Master Cui, the heart-cutting knife..."
Baili Qingzhi thought thoughtfully: "There are many people who have received kindness from Master Cui. When he passed away, many people were indeed filled with indignation and felt that falling into the lake was not an accident."

Shi Dai: "Master Cui?"

"The governor's name is Cui Yanming."
Baili Qingzhi smiled: "You were not even born when he took office."

She lowered her eyes and recalled roughly: "He is a good official. Even my parents praise him for his dedication to the people and his selflessness."

Counting the time, Baili Qingzhi was only about ten years old back then.

"This person has passed away, there is no point thinking about it."
Baili Qingzhi casually put her broken hair away from her ears: "Let's choose a direction and go forward?"

Qin Jiujiu nodded, and the silver scissors in his hand suddenly moved, cutting out a round black shadow.
As she silently recited the magic formula, the shadow puppet rose into the air and hung high above her head.

"so."
Being watched by everyone else, Qin Jiujiu lowered his head in shock: "It's easy to be seen by others."

She has always spoken very little and seems a little cold at first glance, but actually...
Looking at the thin red color on Qin Jiujiu's ears, Shi Dai thought that this girl was probably just too introverted and not good at communicating with others.

"That's a good idea."
Nie Zhan said happily: "It's like flying a kite."

A few people left as soon as they were told, without staying much longer.

The Blood Pool Hell is full of puddles, exuding a rotten stench.
Shi Dai stared at the red liquid everywhere: "Is this pure blood?"

In the deeper pool not far away, every figure was struggling and looking very painful.

Qin Jiujiu dipped a piece of paper into the puddle, but nothing happened.
When he threw it into the pool, he saw boiling bubbles emerging from the water, quickly engulfing the paper and turning it into powder.

"Stay away from the blood pool."
Chen Liushuang said: "The blood in the pool may have a corrosive effect."

"I knew it."
Nie Zhan's lips twitched: "The torture in hell cannot make people feel better."

Baili Jin, who was declared to be about to die in the Blood Pool Hell, must have lost half of his skin, right?

It hurts just thinking about it.
Nie Zhan bared his teeth.

Shallow puddles were everywhere, and Shi Dai lifted the hem of her skirt.
She didn't care much about the blood on the ground, her mind was entirely on the case, and she was talking to Shen Liushuang every now and then.

The girl has a nimble demeanor, with straight shoulders and a thin back. The lifted skirt sways gently, revealing slender ankles.
She deliberately avoids the blood and sometimes jumps up on her tiptoes. Her red skirt stretches like butterfly wings, and her ankles are like white jade branches.

Jiang Baiyan only glanced at it and looked away calmly.

Without looking at her, Shi Dai's voice was still in her ears, and every word sounded like a beaded curtain, accompanied by the fragrance of gardenias after the rain.

"I think Mrs. Ye is also weird."
Shi Dai whispered to Shen Liushuang: "She looks too scared. As the head matron, she has experienced a lot, right?"

In comparison, although Baili Qingzhi also had a fearful look on his face, he remained calm and had a clear conscience.

Ye Wanxing... was in a similar state to Bai Lijin who was in a state of disbelief.
Baili Jin is one of the murderer's targets of revenge.

"Aunt Qingzhi."
Shi Dai asked: "What kind of people are Ye Wanxing and Bailihong?"

"Second brother and second sister-in-law?"
Baili Qingzhi was concentrating on avoiding puddles and not staining her skirt: "It's very good. Have you met the second sister-in-law, she is very gentle, right? The second brother is also kind to others, but he is too obsessed with sword skills and practices all day long. Go, don’t stay home much.”

"I heard that Uncle Hong's sword skills are not very talented, but he is very hardworking."
Yan Qinghuan added at the right time: "In these years, he has devoted himself to practicing sword skills, and he is already the best swordsman in Jiangnan."

This is a man who, for the sake of seclusion, will not even show his niece when she returns home.

Shi Dai responded in a low voice, and suddenly heard someone calling beside her: "Miss Qingzhi!"

Familiar voice.
Following the sound, there were three figures standing in the distance.

Qing'er's face was gray and her skirt was stained with dark red blood. Seeing them, her eyes turned red with excitement.
Next to her was a tall, thin, middle-aged man with ordinary features that Shi Dai had never seen before.The man carried Ye Wanxing on his back, and the latter's face was ashen and his eyes were red.

"Second sister-in-law!"
Baili Qingzhi was shocked: "What's wrong with you?"

"Miss Green Branch."
The man smiled flatteringly: "Madam sprained her ankle and almost fell into the pool - there was some blood in the pool on her leg."

Blood pools are corrosive.
Baili Qingzhi trembled and said quickly: "How is it? Have you applied any medicine? Is there a lot of blood on it?"

After saying that, she stepped forward, carefully lifted up the hem of Ye Wanxing's skirt, and took a breath of air.

One of Ye Wanxing's legs must have fallen into a pool of blood. Half of his calf was burned red, revealing a few mottled flesh and blood.

"We don't have any ointment on us."
The man turned his head, looked at Qin Jiujiu and Nie Zhan, and asked anxiously: "Do the two immortal masters have any medicine for their wounds?"

Yan Qinghuan introduced Shi Dai and others in a low voice: "This is Baili's housekeeper."

Shi Dai's eyes moved.

Yan Qinghuan mentioned him when he was almost middle-aged.
His name is Xie Wulang, and he is about the same age as Zhan Xin Dao.

——The remaining middle-aged people from the Baili family all died in the illusion.

Nie Zhan was a warm-hearted person and took out the porcelain bottle and handed it to Baili Qingzhi: "Use this."

The Blood Pool Hell was vast and empty. In order to apply medicine to Ye Wanxing, everyone found a relatively clean open space.

Baili Qingzhi squatted in front of her, eagerly opening the porcelain bottle containing the medicine: "Why are you so careless?"

The daughter-in-law didn't know how to apply medicine, so she was confused for a moment and handed the porcelain bottle to Qing'er.

Ye Wanxing was so painful that he could not speak and was sweating coldly.

"I, I don't know either."
Qing'er trembled: "My wife and I were sent to a place, and she somehow didn't see her feet clearly..."

Butler Xie Wulang looked at Gan and said anxiously: "Stop talking and apply the medicine quickly."

Shi Dai was tired from walking and sat aside, quietly studying Ye Wanxing's expression.

She was obviously in pain.The rich and noble girl did not suffer any pain. She was trembling all over after Qing'er rubbed the injured area.
Apart from the pain, Ye Wanxing's expression was indescribably weird.

It was like fear, despair, and anger were intertwined together, almost hysterical.

Why is she afraid?
Because they failed to break the formation, they were trapped in purgatory.

Hell is for the punishment of sinful people.
Has Ye Wanxing ever committed any crime?
"Do you think," Jiang Baiyan said quietly, "she is next?"

Ok?
Shi Dai turned her head and found that he was sitting next to her at some point.

When Jiang Baiyan asked him a straightforward question, Shi Dai didn't want to hide it.
Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be said in person, so she deliberately moved away and lowered her voice: "Who would be scared like this unless there is something wrong in their heart?"

Besides, after Bailice's death, Ye Wanxing and his wife made the biggest profit and became the heads of the family.
In the murder of Bailice, if even the members of the branch family were involved, she and Bailihong would most likely be connected.

At this moment, everyone else's attention was entirely on Ye Wanxing. Shi Dai rested her head with one hand and said slowly:
"There are so many people in the Baili family, and most of them are dead. Ye Wanxing knows that it will be her soon."

Jiang Baiyan smiled: "Don't want to save her?"

"The premise is that I can be saved. In the illusion, the murderer kills easily, and we can't even see his shadow."
Shi Dai said: "And——"

The two words were barely spoken, Shi Dai paused and suddenly lowered his head.

A breeze blew past my ankles, and the hem of my skirt was lifted up, spreading the coolness.
Jiang Baiyan's index finger picked up the hem of her skirt with very little force, leaving only a small part of her ankle exposed.

Shi Dai lowered his head, and he happened to raise his eyelashes and cast a glance.

"I see there is blood on your feet."
Jiang Baiyan said: "I'll help you wipe it?"

Just like walking on a rainy day, when you pass a puddle, you will often get rainwater splashing on your legs.
Shi Dai glanced over and saw a few red spots on her ankles.

There should be some on the calves too.

Shi Dai:......
After a few breaths of silence, she looked away and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve: "Thank you."

It means acceptance.

Jiang Baiyan took the handkerchief and said in the same tone as usual: "What did you want to say just now?"

"And if the murderer really wants revenge."
The silk handkerchief was soft, and when Jiang Baiyan wiped it on her ankle, the touch was subtle.
Shi Dai seemed to be choked: "Those who died today were all bad guys seeking wealth and murder."

She clearly sees black and white, good and evil. During the Puppet Master case, she helped Xiao Hei break the formation and let him kill his enemies with his own hands.

Shi Dai has no mercy for the treacherous and evil people.

Her skin is fair and her ankles rarely see the sun, like delicate porcelain.
Jiang Baiyan rubbed it with his thumb and felt the outline of flesh and bone through the silk handkerchief.

Beautiful yet fragile, it will break with the slightest force.
Being held by one of his hands, it seemed like a gentle imprisonment.

The emotion in his heart was incomprehensible, and he slightly curled his lips: "You have no mercy towards evil people."

——What about him?

He actually has countless shady thoughts.
I want Shi De to see him more, I want Shi De to care about him more, I want Shi De to belong to him only.

Seeing her chatting and laughing with Nie Zhan and Yan Qinghuan, Jiang Baiyan thought about imprisoning her by his side and watching him forever.

Like thorns growing in a swamp, he would quietly cut them off as soon as they showed their signs.

If Shi Dai is with others and abandons him, what should he do?

Jiang Baiyan said softly: "What about me?"

Shi Dai: "What?"

"What if I were a heinous murderer who killed innocent people indiscriminately."
His long eyelashes drooped slightly to cover up the obscure emotions. Jiang Baiyan moved up and got close to her calf: "How do you treat me?"

Having never thought about such a problem, Shi Dai looked at a loss.
She chuckled softly and joked: "The 'murderer' who will wipe my blood?"

Jiang Baiyan said nothing.
Then I heard Shi Dai say: "If you really become a bastard who kills innocent people——"

She thought about it seriously and said with determination: "I will definitely sever all ties with you and be the first to arrest you in Zhen'es."

She said the four words "love and justice will never be broken" without any ambiguity.

His thumb reached Shi Dai's calf and brushed away a few drops of blood.
Jiang Baiyan exerted a little force.

As a result, the piece of soft flesh dented into a small arc, and through the silk handkerchief, a more obvious temperature was transmitted.

His long-standing bloodthirsty instinct urged him to grab more, but Jiang Baiyan did not dare to exert more force.
The silk handkerchief passed by her ankle just now, and after leaving, Shi Dai's skin turned red.

"However," Shi Dai held her cheek with her right hand and looked at him with a smile, "Jiang Chenyu, I don't think you can be that kind of person."

Jiang Baiyan did not raise his head and slowly wiped the blood stains for her: "There is no definite answer to what I feel."

Shi Dai rolled her eyes and laughed: "Okay, I believe it. I believe you will not become that kind of person."

There was silence for a moment.

Jiang Baiyan's voice came from the side, with a half-joking tone: "If you trust me today, don't regret it if there comes a day."

The pads of his fingers rubbed against his calf with very light force, like scratching an itch.
This place had never been touched by anyone else, so Shi Dai straightened her body unconsciously.

Very strange.

After several conversations, she and Jiang Baiyan seemed to be on opposite ends of a scale, with a thin line in the middle tense and teetering.
The taste was inexplicable, like a conflict, making her heart beat loudly.

I wonder if it was his breath passing through the skin, which was as warm as feathers.
Shi Dai clenched her fingertips and smiled: "I don't do anything I regret."

After saying this, the moving feeling on his calf suddenly stopped.

Jiang Baiyan raised his head.

As he got closer, his exquisite facial features became more and more stunning, and his eyes were dark and sinister, but not scary.
His eyes were full of Shi Dai's outline.

The dark and sinister desires were carefully restrained, and Jiang Baiyan personally cut off the buds of thorns.

"rest assured."
Jiang Baiyan looked at her and smiled softly: "I won't make you regret it."
