The young man in the driver's seat of Maserati looked at Qing Zhui with his eyes shining and said, "Miss, may I have your last name? Let's be friends?"
His eyes fell on Qing Zhui's chest. He seemed to think that if he asked, Qing Zhui would tell him her phone number or WeChat and make friends with him. After all, there were many gold diggers in the world. What was more, the car he was in was Maserati.
However, Qing Zhui said nothing. She suddenly reached out and grabbed the young man by the hair, then pressed his head against the steering wheel.
Thump!
With a muffled sound, the young man's face was covered with blood. He was petrified by the intense pain.
"What are you doing?" Xue Bao'er, holding her phone ready to call Xin Zhiyu, heard the sound and looked over. She happened to see the young man whose face was covered with blood and Qing Zhui. She was both surprised and angry. "I recognize you. You're the one..."
The girls' bedroom was a bit of a mess—the unmade beds, rubbish on the floor and girls' underwear lying around. From the first glance of observation alone, Ning Tao could be sure that the administration of the Hope Special School was loose. Ning Tao woke up his eyes and nose to the state of looking and smelling. Under the condition of looking, he could see the patient's innate aura, and his eyesight became better, especially when he looked at dark places. "The police have come to investigate, and they're trace experts." Ma Shichuan briefed Ning Tao. "But they found nothing. There are the fingerprints and footprints of the five girls in this room, without the sixth." "Headmaster Ma, did the police investigate the surveillance nearby?" Ning Tao asked while trying to capture the five girls' scent. Ma Shichuan replied, "Of course. They investigated traffic police surveillance and even surveillance of nearby stores, but there was no
If the crashed firewood chopper and Mauser pistol were put together in the rotten broken tripod to refine, what would come out was definitely a firewood chopper, not a Mauser pistol. It was not the first time for Ning Tao to use the rotten broken tripod. Therefore, he had gained experience and mastered some properties of the rotten broken tripod. Its first property was simply to repair items. The repaired items would be spiritual, and their quality would be greatly improved, but still far from the level of the magic tool. The second property was that if different objects were refined together, the volume and energy of the object would affect the result. A simple example was that if he smashed an electric cooker and a bowl at the same time, and then put all the pieces into the rotten broken tripod to repair at the same time, he would get an electric cooker, and the bowl would be incorporated into the cooker as an auxiliary material. Thus, in
During breakfast, Ning Tao read the local news. There was news about the five deaf girls missing, but there were many people commenting on the news that the five girls might have left school to do something because they were weary of studying. Some people said that deaf children were lonely and rebellious, and that the five perhaps had gone out together to have fun and would come back after a period of time. Until today, the police had not found any evidence of the crime, nor had it been classified as a criminal case. No wonder someone made a wild guess. After breakfast, Ning Tao took Bai Jing and Qing Zhui to temples. Yin Molan followed them on his motorcycle. His motorcycle could certainly carry people, but Bai Jing insisted on taking Ning Tao's electric bicycle instead of Yin Molan's motorcycle. On the road, Yin Molan couldn't help shaking his head and sighing as he looked at the crowded electric bicycle with three people in front of him. "Buddy, you'r
The lonely mountain was not high, only about 400 to 500 meters. It rose from the ground and looked very tall. At the foot of the hill was a wall of steel mesh several meters high with security cameras. Yet the steel mesh barrier was no obstacle for Ning Tao and the other three. The four people found a surveillance blind spot and went into easily. A newly-built asphalt road, which led to the top of the mountain, ended in a flat ground. A temple was built on that flat ground. The temple had three rows of rooms and three rows of side rooms on each side. The whole pattern was grand. Hanging on the lintel of the temple's front hall was a large plaque that said "Temple of Dead Tree". When Ning Tao saw the large plaque, he was filled with curiosity. "Isn't the Temple of Dead Tree torn down?" "We split up. Senior Yin, you and Miss Bai go to their monitoring room together, and I will go in with Qing Zhui to find clues. We'll meet at the
It was a natural cave with space about the size of a basketball court. The ground was treated and paved with stone bricks. Rocks and stalactites hang overhead. In the middle of the cave was a stone tower about 10 meters high, piled with strips of stone. The top was flat, but there was no statue or big jar on it. At the bottom of the stone tower, there was a stone ladder leading to the top. All the stones used were white marble, so the ladder was just like a road to heaven, which was made of white clouds. Dozens of girls knelt on futons on the ground. They wore white robes that were thin enough to show their backs and hips, but they seemed to have lost their sense of shame and didn't care. On either side of the girls stood a line of "security guards" in white uniforms, each standing upright and looking straight ahead, holding a bloody stick. It was like a procession of armed guards in the Church. With white uniforms and bloody sticks, they fo
Only within a second, Ning Tao pulled the gun and aimed at Bai Sheng. Yet he could not pull the trigger. Too many girls had already charged towards the sacrificial altar. They had all burned and fallen like moths attracted to flame. Despite knowing that they would die, they were still going to throw themselves into it. The deaf-mute girl who was going to bite Ning Tao had slipped from the pool of blood on the floor and cut her knee. Yet she did not seem to be in pain. After struggling to get up, she continued charging towards the altar. She waved her arms, and yelled with a mouth wide open, making "ahh" noises. Watching her back view had made Ning Tao felt an unprecedented sense of helplessness and misery. He was an inborn go-between of good and evil, upholding justice and fighting against evil were deep-rooted in his bones and blood. Yet he could only watch on as these innocent children descended into hell. He could not shoot,
Ning Tao got up from on top of Bai Jing and Qing Zhui. He was in a better state than Yin Molan, but his clothes were also tattered and torn, face bloodied. Qing Zhui and Bai Jing had also climbed up from the ground. With Ning Tao's protection, they were practically unscathed. "Brother Ning, are you OK?" Qing Zhui asked anxiously. Ning Tao shook his head. He did not say a word, only staring fixedly at the Soul-devouring Urn and Bai Sheng who was on top of it. The Soul-devouring Urn had devoured those innocent girls, and even including Bai Sheng's vassals. It had released him from the ropes bound to his hands and legs. Just after he had confirmed this situation and aiming his Mauser pistol at Bai Sheng, he immediately pulled the trigger. Bang! A gunshot was fired. A bullet flew in the direction of Bai Sheng. For a distance lesser than twenty to thirty meters, the time taken for the bullet to travel was
Whatever had happened in the cave of a mountain was like a story of a distant world to the villagers. If they did not see it and did not hear it, then what had it got to do with them? Back at Du Mountain, Ning Tao and Yin Molan found the God's Will electric bicycle and motorcycle at the foot of the mountain. After that, they sneaked into the Temple of Dead Tree on the mountain peak. There was not a single soul in the entire temple. Even the two people who were made unconscious, had already vanished. Ning Tao came to the second big hall, and pushed open the doors to the hall. There was also a sacred altar in the second hall, which housed a statue made of pure white granite. The statue was wearing a sharp-tipped hat, and its face was hidden. A white long robe was draped over its body, a flower vase in one hand and a tree branch was pinched in his other hand. After seeing it, Ning Tao could not help but berated. "Did
