Jiangpo Building is an old-fashioned single-family building with a wooden structure. Because it is close to Yejiang River, the wood feels faintly moist.
It was still daytime at this time, but the sunlight did not shine here. The sky was overcast, making the whole building appear to be shrouded in a dark tone.
To be honest, if they hadn't known Jiang Po's identity in advance, the deducers might have treated her as a behind-the-scenes boss to take precautions.
Yu Xing came here for the first time.
The closest he got before was just to glance at this building from afar next to other residential buildings. When he realized that there was a scent arrangement near this small building to monitor the presence of those approaching, he quietly backed away.
I haven't been here at night, because after nightfall, the building Jiangpo Tower seems to have disappeared, and it is not on the map of Fengtou Town at all.
Perhaps...this is the rule's preference for witches?
Because the witch only came after the flood of Yejiang River, and has been stationed beside Yejiang River, there is no guarantee that she has any mission or cause and effect. Yu Xing even doubted whether the witch called Jiang Po was really Jiang Zhong. The ghost transformed and came ashore.
With a hint of curiosity, Yu Xing knocked on the door.
His knuckles rapped on the door panel, making a dull "knock-knock" sound. Soon, brisk footsteps came from the door.
Brisk?
Is this the way a "mother-in-law" should behave?
Several people surrounding the door all had such a doubt in their hearts.
The next second, the wooden door opened from the inside with a creaking sound.
Behind the door, a young woman who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old appeared.
The woman has a pale complexion and a tall figure. She wears clothes that are obviously different from the townspeople's style. The upper body is a dark blue short shirt that exposes the navel, decorated with a circle of tassels, and the lower body is a wide pleated skirt that covers the insteps.
She has an ordinary appearance, but is very distinctive. Her eyebrows are as curved as willow leaves, her almond-shaped eyes are round, but the diameter of her eyeballs is small, which makes her eyes that should be agile become much colder. Her lips are not that way or they are specially painted. The fat is actually a purple color close to the color of mulberries.
Her hip-length hair was braided into several strands, and each strand was hung with some small jingling ornaments, which were somewhat similar to the ones hanging around Zhao Yijius neck. On top of her head, she wore a flat hat. A small flat hat, the same color as the clothes on the body.
At first glance, Yu Xing only had one comment in his mind: This girl must be a good user of poison!
Otherwise, this dress clearly resembles that of an ethnic minority in the real world, and the purple color of the lips fits the stereotype of drug-using sects in various movies, TV series, and games. Even Yu Xing was instantly led astray.
However, he did not pause for a second, and showed a friendly smile as soon as he met the woman's eyes.
“Hello, let's come to see my mother-in-law.”
There was no expression on the woman's face. She raised her face slightly and looked at him. Because of the angle, the white spots in her eyes leaked out more, which added to the aura of "not a good person".
A few seconds later, the woman looked away. Under the shadow of the door, most of her body looked gloomy, and her words were predictably cold:
"Several people?"
The voice is quite pleasant, but it has a low tone that is hard to hide.
Yu Xing said: "Five."
The woman glanced at him, then at the people behind him, and repeated: "How many people?"
This time, her emphasis is slightly on "person".
The deducers who heard what she meant were shocked.
She means that there are not five people present?
In the eyes of women, are some of them not considered “human beings”?
They didn't feel that there were any extra "people". None of the people present were newbies. If there was something mixed in among them and followed them here, they couldn't have noticed it.
But the problem is... The situation of the deducer is always very complicated, and it is really difficult to distinguish the part that cannot be counted as a person.
Yu Xing thought for a while and tentatively said, "Two people."
He excluded himself, Guijiu, and the Siren.
Among the people present, only Zhao Mou and Ren Yi have not been modified by blood.
The woman nodded: "Come in."
Is it really right?
The Siren who was lagging behind subconsciously tilted his head and met Guijiu's eyes. Neither of them were stupid, so they naturally knew that they were not among the "people".
However, as soon as she came into contact with Guijiu's scarlet eyes, she shuddered and turned her head back in a hurry.
I heard Yu Xing ask: "Can someone who is not a human being enter?"
Since they are here, they must all go in. After all, the main task is still there. If this "mother-in-law" has any special requirements, it will be really troublesome.
Unexpectedly, although the woman asked this question, she shook her head: "No, everyone come in."
She stepped aside and turned around, as if she wanted to lead them in.
As she turned around, the small ornaments on her braid also swayed with her movement, quietly but eye-catchingly.
Yu Xing could tell at a glance that those milky white rings were made of polished bones. There were even bone ornaments fastened to several rings that were exactly the same as Brother Jiu's chain!
This girl is from the Inugami tribe?
While thinking, he followed up and crossed the threshold of Jiang Po Tower. A cool feeling swept over him instantly.
When everyone entered the house, the wooden door closed automatically with a bang.
Ren Yi, who was walking at the end, glanced at it and tried to push it. However, the seemingly fragile wooden door seemed to be welded to death and did not move at all.
He asked calmly: "What does this mean?"
The woman at the front didn't even look back: "Don't worry, you can leave when you see your mother-in-law and she lets you go."
Deducers have heard this kind of thing all the time. They are all too familiar with being locked up when they go to a certain place for no apparent reason.
At the moment, he didn't show any excited reaction. He just looked around the hall and followed the woman towards the stairs.
This hall is really built like the underworld.
There are various large and small bottles and cans placed against the wall, and there are many hand-knitted products hanging down on the beams. Among them is a Sunny Doll that looks very similar to the Zhao Mansion.
Guijiu looked around and even saw the bone bell in the backyard of Yizhuang.
The bone bell he picked up before has disappeared with the collapse of the stage world, but the bell left such a deep impression on him that he will never admit it!
At this moment, he grabbed Yu Xing with one hand and motioned for Yu Xing to look.
As soon as he made this action, the eyes of others were also attracted, and the suspicion in their hearts increased.
Strange.
How come they thought they were all the utensils used by Master Wanban to set up formations, but they all saw them here in Jiang Po?
As if in response to them, a gust of wind blew in through the leaky window, and the bone bell swayed gently, making a pleasant sound.
The woman in front stopped and turned back slightly.
