Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 87: One More Person (Please Collect and Read)

Shang Lu really wanted to ask Sanniang.

Since she knew how to get out of the strange fog, why didn't she help point the way, but just watched him spread realgar powder along the way?
Do you want to see what tricks he can come up with?
Shang Lu shook his head and said to himself in his heart: "Next time you encounter something strange, ask Sanniang first. If she has no solution, then figure it out yourself."

At the same time, after receiving Shang Lu's order, Constable Liu immediately asked everyone to report their numbers.

The strange fog was so thick that one could not see anyone more than a few steps away.

Fortunately, although the sound is also affected, it is much better.

At least it is completely feasible to ask people around you to count.

Constable Liu counted "one", and the people behind him counted one after another, even Shang Lu followed suit and counted one.

The count was quickly completed, and the last person reported "fourteen".

Constable Liu and Constable Huang didn't react much. Shang Lu was the same at the beginning. He felt that there were still many people left, so he asked everyone to follow him out of the strange fog.

Just as he was about to say this, the liver statue in the temple of internal organs suddenly opened its eyes and sucked a wisp of black air out of his body.

The moment the black air was purified by the Liver God, Shang Lu felt as if a layer of fog was instantly lifted from his mind and he suddenly regained clarity.

Then he realized something: the number he reported just now was wrong!

There are indeed quite a few people.

But there is one more!
Constable Liu and Constable Huang each have five white servants under their command. Together with themselves and Shang Lu, there should be thirteen people in total.

But the number of people just reported was fourteen!
Did someone report the number twice?

wrong!

If someone had simply reported the number twice, he and Constable Liu and Constable Huang should have immediately noticed the error in the number of people.

But they didn't realize it at all, and even thought that this was the number they should be.

Obviously, something has affected their thinking!

It’s the extra “constable”!
This discovery shocked Shang Lu, and he was also puzzled: Why didn't the evil spirit that sneaked into the team attack them directly? What was it planning?
At this time, Constable Liu crossed his hands and reported: "Captain, the count is complete. No one is missing. What should we do now?"

Before Shang Lu could reply, he saw Constable Liu with red eyes, turning his head towards the constable in the thick fog, where he could not see the figure but could hear the voice, and roared:
"Shut the fuck up, stop talking, and follow the captain's instructions!"

The detectives shut up.

But at this moment, a provocative voice came out from the thick fog:

"What could he plan? He is definitely going to lead us to our death..."

Constable Liu was furious and shouted, "Who? Who is talking? Zhao Qi, is it you?"

Zhao Qi's nervous voice could be heard in the mist: "It wasn't me. I didn't say that. It was Sun Ke. It had to be him. When I was running just now, I heard him cursing Captain Shang."

"Fuck you Zhao Qi, when have I ever scolded Captain Shang? Don't wrongly accuse a good man!"

Sun Ke started to curse loudly and dragged another person into the mix, suspecting that person was saying bad things about Captain Shang.

The detectives were immediately in chaos, cursing and blaming each other, and some of the more angry ones even shouted that they wanted to challenge the other side to a duel to decide life or death and who was lying.

Seeing this scene, Shang Lu understood instantly.

The evil spirit hiding in the team is trying to stir up internal strife among them and make them kill each other!

Under the influence of the evil spirit, the detectives' emotions are very unstable, and the evil spirit only needs a little provocation to make everyone turn against each other.

This trend is already emerging at the moment!
In the past few days, Shang Lu not only consulted the witches and wizards, but also sought out some senior officials in the government office and asked them a lot of questions about things related to demons and evil spirits.

From these people, he learned that if companions turned against each other and fought each other, the hatred, resentment and even evil spirit formed after death would be very strong.

This is probably why the evil spirit that sneaked into the team didn't attack directly, but instead tried to instigate internal fighting among them!

This evil spirit, or rather the witch who controls it, wants not only their flesh and blood, but also their hatred, evil spirit and madness!

"Shut up! What time is it? Why are you still quarreling?"

Shang Lu immediately spoke up and stopped the detectives from making a commotion. He held a mouthful of blood in his mouth, making the sound as deafening as thunder, and only then did he manage to stop the people who were affected by the evil spirit.

"We are now in danger. We must unite and support each other to get out of the strange fog. From now on, whoever provokes a dispute will be our enemy and must be taken down immediately!"

Then, Shang Lu asked the detectives to line up one by one.

The reason is to prevent anyone from falling behind when they start walking.

When the constables began to line up, Shang Lu started by counting Constable Liu and went down one by one, as if he was checking whether the constables were lined up properly.

A few wisps of green smoke floated out of the incense burner in front of the liver god statue and flowed into Shang Lu's eyes, allowing him to see things that ordinary people could not see.

Soon, Shang Lu locked onto a target within the team.

At first glance, this "person" seems to be similar to other constables.

Also wearing a uniform and carrying a bull-tail knife.

When he saw Shang Lu, he smiled with some respect.

However, with the help of the Liver God, Shang Lu could see that this "person" was weak.

Its human form is fake, an illusion created by a demonic aura and a magic.

If he was outside the strange fog, even without the blessing of the Liver God, Shang Lu would be able to notice the strange behavior of this "person".

Because the "person" he transformed was not delicate.

But in the strange fog, vision is greatly affected, and even within the visible range, what you see is not clear enough.

This makes it difficult to detect the demon's illusion, even if it has flaws or defects.

Not to mention that this "person" also influenced everyone's thinking, causing the detectives to treat him as one of their own and not to doubt him at all.

Even though this face was one the detectives had never seen before.

Shang Lu, who discovered the target, did not rush to take action. He even nodded in response to the smile of this "person".

Only after he passed it and reached behind it did Shang Lu extend his left hand, which had been hidden in his sleeve.

Holding a leather bag in his hand.

Shang Lu quickly pulled out the stopper and poured all the black dog blood in the leather bag onto the "person's" head.

Although this "person" did not look back, he reacted when Shang Lu took out the leather bag, as if he had eyes behind his head.

Unfortunately, its speed was not as fast as Shanglu's. Although it tried to dodge, it was still hit hard.

"what--"

The "person" let out an angry scream, and his body melted instantly like a candle encountering high temperature, revealing his true form.

It turned out to be a snake with a human face!

That face is still a beauty, very charming.

However, with the help of the Liver God, Shang Lu quickly realized that the face the snake was carrying was not a real human face.

There are two tumors under its head. When put together, it looks like a human head. The tumors are covered with patterns, like a beautiful woman's face.

I don’t know how many people have been deceived by this weird thing with this fake face.

In fact, these two tumors are not only ugly, but also very strange, constantly spraying droplets all around.

It is these droplets that create the illusion.

It was these droplets that affected the thinking of the detectives, causing them to regard the strange snake as their own "person" and not realizing that there was a companion in their team that shouldn't have existed.

The strange snake, whose true form was revealed, became angry and humiliated. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced on the Sanglu.

The two tumors under its head spewed out foul-smelling venom straight into Shanglu's eyes!
