Ice Fantasy Chapter 15: Snow Country(10)

He asked: What happened? I said: Someone is on my roof, he just performed an assassination on me. I saw Entropy Crack's expression change. He turned around and looked at those people, and then he said to Huang Tuo: Did you see that he was indeed wearing a black night suit?

Absolutely. Huang Tuo looked at the people who appeared in the corridor, and said coldly. So how long has it been since you chased him and saw him running into the house here? Not very long.

How long is it not very long? Entropy cracks. I suddenly understood the meaning of entropy split, so I asked for him: Is it enough for a person to change his clothes again?

Huang Tuo said word by word: Absolutely not enough.

Standing next to Entropy Crack is that handsome young man with a sword. I now know his name is Yazhao. He is wearing a white nightgown with a set of white pajamas underneath. He is barefoot and his hair is not combed. Drapes smoothly over the shoulders.

The old man who dressed gorgeously and noblely during the day but had the lowest status was named Tong Xie. He was wearing a white fox fur cloak, and inside the cloak was a blue silk nightgown embroidered with a green dragon. Looking at the green dragon, I suddenly thought that I was staying in the territory of the Western Dharma Protector Qinglong, but faced with more and more weird things with no clues at all, I didn't even have the ability to fight back.

The one who didn't sleep like Entropy Crack was the woman who was sitting on the soft couch during the day, her name was Iridium Chi. Next to her was the muscular man sitting on the soft couch like her. Entropy Li told me his name was Yupo, but he had obviously fallen asleep. He was woken up because his face was very pale. The red eyes are bloodshot, and the hair is messy, obviously after a heavy drunk. I knew how unpleasant it is to be woken up after a drunk, so I didn't ask him a question.

As for the poisonous woman wearing transparent gloves, Entropy said that even he didn't know her name, only her nickname, and her nickname only had one word, that is: Needle! What she was wearing was a pure black soft nightgown. The strange thing was that she still wore those transparent gloves on her hands. Did she even wear them when she was sleeping?

I asked Huang Tuo: Do ​​you mean that the assassins wore black clothes? yes.

So could it be her? I pointed to the needle and asked Huang Tuo. Won't.

Why? Because the person who assassinated you is wearing tights, but the needle is wearing a loose and soft robe. This kind of clothing is particularly inconvenient for movement and will make a particularly loud sound. Experienced assassins would never act in such clothes.

So, you are the only suspect here. I turned my head and looked at the woman who played the piano during the day and said. Entropy Lie told me that her name was Hua Xiao, and she used to be a famous luthier in a brothel.

She said: Why? Since it's just you wrapped in a wide gray robe, I'd love to see what's underneath it. What do you think? Black night clothes?

Maybe, maybe not. Then I saw that Hua Xiao's face became ugly, and she said: What if I say no? Then you will die right here. Entropy Rift said lightly. But I know what he said always works, and absolutely works. If a person reaches his position, he will become cautious and cautious every time he speaks, because if he says a wrong sentence, he may never have the opportunity to correct his mistakes.

Hua Xiao lowered her head and bit her lip, I don't know what she was thinking. I saw that Huang Tuo's hand had already condensed spiritual power, because his left hand began to emit a faint silver light, so I clasped the ring finger of my left hand to prevent Hua Xiao from running away or attacking suddenly.

But Hua Xiao didn't escape, nor did she make a move, but she took off the gray robe. I already regretted seeing her take it off, because there was no night clothes in it, nothing at all. She didn't even wear clothes underneath. Hua Xiao bit her lip, I saw tears in her eyes. I turned my head and said to her: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake, you can put on your clothes." What about Luna and Chaoya? Entropy Crack asked me.

The two of them were not in the room. Then why don't you suspect them? Entropy Crack looked at me, his gaze became extraordinarily sharp and cold, like shining needlepoints. Not Luna. I said lightly. Why? This time it was Huang Tuo who asked the question.

I looked at Huang Tuo, and remembered that night he and Luna confronted each other. I knew there must be a secret between the two of them. It's just that Huang Tuo never told me, and neither did Luna. So I asked Huang Tuo: Why are you so suspicious of Moon God?

I'm not suspicious of Luna, I'm suspicious of everyone. Well let me tell you why. When I entered that room, Luna wrote four words on my back: Be careful with oil lamps. You lit that oil lamp, didn't you realize that there was only a little oil left when you lit it? The person who released the lamp oil must have calculated it accurately. The lamp oil can just last until the night when he comes to assassinate me. Because the human eye cannot see anything when it suddenly enters the darkness.

What about Chao Ya? Huang Tuo asked.

I don't know. I don't know why Chao Ya is not in the room. She should have stayed in the room, as her body had not fully recovered.

I think everyone should go back to their rooms first and wait until tomorrow. So what about Luna and Chaoya?

There is no way but to wait. I didn't sleep that night. I kept thinking about what just happened in my mind. I could guess something, but it was still vague. I know that I must have overlooked some very important things, but I can't clearly think of what it is.

That night seemed to pass very quickly, and nothing happened again. When I got up and walked out the door in the morning, I found the Entropy Rift and the others standing outside the door. To my surprise, Luna and Chao Ya were also standing outside, and Chao Ya was playing the piano with a quiet and indifferent smile. I walked over and asked: Chao Ya, last night you... Chao Ya, did you sleep well last night? Entropy Rift interrupted me before I could finish. Very well, I slept soundly and slept until dawn without even having a dream. That's good, you are weak, you should take a good rest. The entropic smile is still stable, but there is already a fine layer of sweat on the palm of my hand. Why did Chao Ya lie? Luna, what about you? Entropy Crack continued to ask. I'm not here, I'm out.

I asked: Where did you go? She looked at me and said: Wang, I discovered something last night, and I will come to your room to tell you. I can see that Luna is definitely not playing tricks, she must have discovered something. Wang, I also have something to tell you tonight. Huang Tuo looked at Moon God, and then said to me.

Huang Tuo told me that night that actually Liao Jian did not die from chronic poisoning. Because after that, he dug Liao Jian's body out of the grave and examined it carefully, and found that on the top of his head, under the thick hair, there was a small needle with a very poisonous needle.

Huang Tuo said: Wang, do you still remember when we first entered the western realm, that is, when Liao Chi died, there were any suspicious people around us?

Luna told me that there were several top killers, but they didn't make a move at all, because Luna was there at that time, and no one dared to make a move in front of Luna.

King, do you remember? When Liao Jian fainted, Pianfeng was the first to run over and hug him, as if Pianfeng knew that Liao Jian was about to fall. At that time, I clearly remembered Pianfeng holding Liao Jian's head.

Huang Tuo, what do you want to say? Wang, I don't want to say anything, I just tell you some things I found that we missed. Wang, please judge for yourself. Just at this time, Luna appeared at the door, and she saw Huang Tuo in my room, and she didn't say anything.

Huang Tuo looked at Luna, and then said to me: "My lord, I'm going back to my room first." It was the same thing that Luna told me that night. She said that she was not in the room the night I was assassinated because she went to see Liao Jian's body. Luna said that the grass around the tomb had all withered, because Liao Jian's body was poisoned, and there was a small silver needle in Liao Jian's hair.

I didn't tell Moon God Huang Tuo already knew about this matter, I just asked Moon God: Who do you think killed Liao Chan?

Luna did not suspect any of us, she said: King, do you remember the woman with silver needles all over her head?

Needle? Yes, I'd love to see if the needles in her hair are the same as those in Liao Jian's head.

When Luna was just about to leave my room, she suddenly turned around and said to me: Wang, don't you find it strange that you were assassinated last night?

Are you saying...

It was Huang Tuo who saw the man in black and found the man in black running into their room in Entropy Crack, and he said all the words. And his chest was cut by a sharp blade. Wang, have you ever thought that the skates you sent out would cut his clothes?

I looked at Luna, and felt fear and cold in my heart.

The needle has already been removed from Liao Jian's body by Luna. The needle is silvery white, but it is not silver, it is much harder than silver, and the tip of the needle glows a strange green under the light, which is obviously highly poisonous. The needle head is particularly eye-catching bright red. When I looked carefully, I suddenly found that the red needle head was carved out of a phoenix head!

Phoenix! I yelled out. Luna looked at me and nodded with a serious expression.

Just as I was about to reach out to take it, Luna stopped me. She said: "My lord, this poison is very powerful. Even if there is no wound, the toxin will penetrate through the skin." It's not fatal, but it can hurt a lot.

I looked at the needle and said nothing. But I suddenly remembered something, from Huang Tuo's words, from Moon God's words.

Nothing happened that night, I slept soundly, but dreams came one after another. After staying in the mortal world for a long time, I suddenly dreamed about what happened in Renxue City, and felt that everything was as illusory as the reflection in the water, flickering, hundreds of years have passed like this. The days I used to be with Shi can never be found again, only in the dream can I see that self-willed and handsome Shi, when he is cold, his face looks murderous, but when he is happy, his smile is sweet like a child, and Willful and domineering. My younger brother, Ying Kongshi, but now he is singing sadly above the sky. I don't know if the undead is afraid of the cold, or if he willfully does not use a barrier to block the snowflakes, letting the snow like cherry blossom petals fall all over his shoulders, his hair, and his eyebrows like sharp swords. In the dream, there were no disputes, no throne, no distinction of blood, no fighting and betrayal, only the two of us, brothers, standing high on the highest wall of Renxue City, with our long hair blowing against the wind. The snow cherry blossoms passed quickly from our hair and between the robes, and the robes flew up like a thousand-year-old snow lotus blooming, pure and transparent white. For a thousand years, ten thousand years, Shi and I stood there like that, looking down at the entire Illusory Snow Empire, looking down at our people, looking down at the ebb and flow of the ice sea, and the flame-like red flames blooming everywhere on the other side of the ice sea. lotus.

A huge snowbird flew low over the city wall of Renxue City, and then countless snowbirds flew past our heads. I heard the sound of wings flapping in the wind, all those huge white birds disappeared at the end of the sky, and then the faces of those people I have never forgotten appeared one after another in the blue sky: Li Luo with slightly blue hair , Lan Shang, who dared to love and hate so much that it made people feel distressed, my brothers and sisters, and those Ice people who died in the jihad. Their smiles permeated the sky, and finally dissipated like mist.

At the end of the dream, I stood alone in the ten-year heavy snow in Renxue City in winter. There was no one or any sound around me, only the roar of the snow in the wind rushed into my ears continuously. Then Renxuecheng collapsed silently behind me, and the dust flew up and covered the sky and the sun.

My tears began to flow from the dream to the end of the dream, to the moment I sat up in bed, to the moment I woke up from the dream.

I sat on the bed with my knees hugged, my head against the wall, and I heard myself whisper: Shi, how are you doing? Brother misses you very much... When I woke up in the morning, the heavy snow outside the window had stopped, and there was still some snow left on the bamboo leaves, falling very finely in the wind.

I walked into the lobby of the inn, and I found that Luna and the others were already eating there. Except for the woman who played the piano, Hua Xiao, everyone was in the lobby. The strange thing is that Luna is sitting at the same table with a person, and that person is the woman who is the best at using poison under Entropy Lie, the needle.

I walked over and sat down next to the needle, and then the waiter came over and asked me what I wanted, and when I was ordering something, he said to me: Ca Suo, come to my room at night. I raised my head in doubt and looked at the needle, wondering what she wanted to do. She smiled at me, with a mysterious and vague smile, and she said: Wang, I know that one of your friends, Liao Jian, died from a poisonous needle. Come over tonight and I will tell you about the needle. I looked at the moon god, she didn't speak, she lowered her head to drink tea, so I turned my head to the needle and said: "Okay, I'll come to you tonight."

That night I called Luna to my room, and I said to her: Luna, accompany me to find the needle.

Luna said: Well, king, please be careful. Luna and I waited until everyone had fallen asleep before going out of the room, but when we came out of Needle's room, there was no light and no sound. Darkness. I clasped my ring finger, and then the wind and snow began to fly around my body, becoming more and more dense, because I was afraid that countless poisonous needles would be shot at me as soon as I opened the door. I looked back at Luna, she also raised her left hand above her head, and then the moonlight on her hand enveloped her whole body inside.

Then Luna pushed open the door, and when the moonlight from Luna's body shone into the room, we saw the needle. She was facing us, sitting on a chair, smiling at us, but the smile was indescribably weird. Just as we were about to go in, Luna suddenly yelled and then backed away quickly, and I also flew back quickly, because I had already seen the cold light on the needle's hand.

All the needles in her hair have been pulled out, and she puts them in her hands, ready to shoot at any time. But Luna and I have been waiting outside for a long time, but she didn't make any move. We increased the body's defenses and walked in. The needle's smile was still weird. And I finally found out why her smile looked weird. Because her smile had frozen without any change. she died. Luna put away the light in his hand and said.

The next morning Needle's body was buried in the open space behind the inn. All stood before her grave, a mound of freshly dug earth, dazzling against the white snow. The poisonous needles she once wore on her head were also buried with her. We know that her tomb will not be covered with green grass, because the poison from those poisonous needles will spread in the soil, becoming a testimony that she was once a master of assassination.

It turns out that she is Phoenix. Chao Ya said slowly. The hair flew in front of her eyes and covered her face, but it still couldn't hide the tiredness and helplessness on her face.

I looked back at Tuo Huang, he still had no expression on his face, but the light in his eyes was still shining, I don't know what he was thinking. I just saw that he kept staring at the grave of the needle and didn't speak.

A few days after Fenghuang's death, the entire inn was very peaceful, people still checked in every day, and people left every day, but I didn't know what I was waiting for. Maybe it's just like what Entropy Crack said, I can only wait for the arrival of the Western Dharma Protector, and I have no defense at all. Luna often disappears, Huang Tuo always stays in the house, Pian Feng and Chao Ya always play ball with the shopkeeper's son. And I always stand in the bamboo forest in front of Tingzhuxuan, watching those small and scattered snowflakes falling from the bamboo leaves, falling on my hair, falling on my shoulders, falling on my shoulders. The white crystal pupils melted.
