Chapter 1630: Chapter 1477: Yin Yang Inn 33
This Beauty Miss seemed not to hear Qi Shuangshuang’s words, still screaming loudly without stopping.
Qi Shuangshuang could only continue to console the other helplessly: "Miss, it’s safe now, you don’t have to be afraid, please stop screaming."
Before Qi Shuangshuang’s ears were deafened by her, the Beauty Miss finally quieted down, no longer screaming.
However, she still hugged her shoulders against the wall, trembling all over, looking startled and frightened.
Seeing her calm down, Qi Shuangshuang asked again: "Where are your two maidservants? Did you see what just happened?"
The Beauty Miss heard Qi Shuangshuang’s question, seemingly recalling something terrifying, and her body trembled significantly.
She looked at Qi Shuangshuang through the veil, still with a fearful voice: "I... I don’t know why they are gone.
I was walking with the maidservants, but they disappeared inexplicably, and then... then I saw it! I saw a monster!!"
The Beauty Miss seemed frightened to the core, and when she mentioned the monster, her voice was sharp and her throat ruptured.
Her body was trembling severely: "It was a monster, very tall, with blue face and fangs, suddenly appearing before me, and then that man fell right there.
I was so afraid I closed my eyes and dared not look, after which I didn’t know what happened. When I calmed down, I saw you."
Qi Shuangshuang comfortingly patted her shoulder: "Okay, okay, it’s all over. Where do you live? I’ll send you home and have someone search for your maidservants."
"There’s no need to search." As soon as Qi Shuangshuang spoke, someone responded from the side, it was Li Yu’s voice.
Qi Shuangshuang turned towards the voice and saw Li Yu jump down from the high wall on one side, with two elongated objects under his arm.
After jumping down, Li Yu casually threw the two elongated objects to the ground. Despite looking substantial, they landed with almost no sound, appearing light.
Once the elongated objects were thrown to the ground, Qi Shuangshuang saw clearly that they were actually two mummified human corpses!
Not to mention, judging by their clothes and accessories, these mummies were undoubtedly the two maidservants mentioned by the Beauty Miss.
Qi Shuangshuang frowned slightly, crouching to inspect the mummies, discovering their energy essence and blood were entirely drained, all absorbed.
The mummies bore a strong residue of Yin Qi and resentful energy, also the Corpse Ghost’s aura was extremely dense, Qi Shuangshuang looked at Li Yu: "That Corpse Ghost did it."
Li Yu summoned a water ball, unpleasantly cleaning himself, disgusted by the corpses he carried such a long way.
Upon hearing Qi Shuangshuang’s words, Li Yu couldn’t help but snort: "Who else but it? The aura of the Corpse Ghost on these maidservants is so thick, obviously meant to divert attention.
These maidservants were unfortunate, drained just casually by it, this creature’s methods are getting ruthless, previously harming people one by one, now directly killing two together.
I sense it’s getting restless, if we can’t catch it soon, someone will surely die next, and not just one or two."
Qi Shuangshuang sighed, she knew this well too, wishing to capture it sooner, but the opponent was slippery, she hadn’t even caught a glimpse yet.
Meanwhile, Feng Lin returned empty-handed, unable to find any traces left by the Corpse Ghost.
Qi Shuangshuang was rather relieved about this, no gains were disappointing, but better than bringing back two mummies.
On the other side, the Beauty Miss fainted decisively after seeing the two mummy maidservants thrown down by Li Yu.
Qi Shuangshuang woke her, wanting to ask her address to send her home. Just as she awakened her, before Qi Shuangshuang could speak, the Beauty Miss saw the two mummies again, her eyes rolled up, and passed out decisively once more.
Qi Shuangshuang could only move the mummies to a place out of sight first, then wake the Beauty Miss again.
Not seeing the mummies, the Beauty Miss was much more composed, didn’t faint again, letting Qi Shuangshuang ask her address, called for a sedan chair, finally sending her home.
The Beauty Miss was from a wealthy family named Chen, and after Qi Shuangshuang safely delivered her home, Miss Chen’s parents offered profuse gratitude, even wanted to give Silver as a reward, which Qi Shuangshuang declined.
After returning to the inn, Qi Shuangshuang gathered in a room with Feng Lin and Li Yu, Qi Shuangshuang was drawing a talisman midair.
Golden talisman formed in the air, slowly shaping into a mirror, this was the Mystic Light Mirror, working like a surveillance camera, able to watch specific individuals.
The Mystic Light Mirror revealed the previously escorted Miss Chen, now lying on her bed, eyes closed, apparently asleep.
"The Shopkeeper suspects Miss Chen has issues." Li Yu said watching the Mystic Light Mirror images.
Qi Shuangshuang nodded: "Miss Chen is full of holes, looks much like she’s in league with the Corpse Ghost.
Originally I thought she took a fancy to you, Li Yu, but actually, she targeted you.
Earlier in the alley, Miss Chen kept screaming, which is instinct at fear, but such instinct is momentary.
If screaming goes on too long, either scared mindless, or faking it.
Miss Chen is clearly not mindless, though she seemed terrified answering me, her thinking was clear, speech wasn’t disordered at all.
Also Miss Chen confidently described seeing a blue-faced, fang-toothed ghostly figure.
But with a tightly veiled hat obstructing her sight, barely seeing the road is challenging.
Seeing someone’s face is hard enough through a veil, let alone recognizing ghostly features clearly, proving she’s lying.
Miss Chen lies for one reason, to protect that Corpse Ghost, deliberately misleading our view.
Thus sending Miss Chen home, I discreetly plucked a few strands of her hair, perfect for crafting a Mystic Light Mirror Talisman to monitor her and uncover any shady dealings."
