The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 118 The Dead Man Delivering a Letter

"You have nothing to do with Sanwu Town, how did you find me?" Zhong Kui frowned.

"He, he told me to give this to you, and you will understand!" Ying Shuigen tremblingly took out a letter that he kept close to his body from his underwear.

This was a yellow envelope. When it was opened, there was only a picture and a line of strange text inside.

However, Zhong Kui was very familiar with the content. The painting was of that monster, and the text was ancient Greek: "Man is searching for his other half throughout his life."

Zhong Kui sneered after seeing this: "Humph, he's really a tough guy." Then he observed Ying Shuigen in front of him: "Have you seen him?"

She looked calm, but she knew in her heart that the person in front of her was the only one who had ever seen a monster alive, which was extraordinary.

"I...I..." Ying Shuigen suddenly covered his neck with his hands and pinched himself as if he was possessed by a demon.

Zhong Kui knew something was wrong, and without saying a word, he stabbed Ying Shuigen's neck with the small copper knife at hand.

At this moment, Qi Fei arrived with the police. Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene.

"Zhong Kui!" Qi Fei shouted.

Zhong Kui looked at him with cold eyes, showing no sign of mercy.

Ying Shuigen, who had collapsed on the ground, had his chest heaving violently, his eyes bulging, his lips purple, and was only twitching passively.

"Brother Fei, Zhong Kui killed him?!" Wu Shanqiu murmured, unable to believe what she saw.

Qi Fei looked at the spot where Zhong Kui was aiming at Ying Shuigen's neck and immediately reacted: "No, she's saving him."

As he said that, he hurried forward to check on Ying Shuigen's condition.

"What's wrong with him?" Qi Fei asked.

"It's most likely acute poisoning and suffocation. I cut open his trachea." Even though his hands were stained with blood, Zhong Kui remained calm as always. "He doesn't have much time left."

The ambulance finally arrived at this remote town, but Ying Shuigen was already motionless when he was lifted into the ambulance.

No one knew whether Ying Shuigen could be saved.

Zhong Kui pointed at the opened letter and said, "Take it back and check it out. Grandma and I are fine. The monster must have poisoned him before he got here, and he'll become ill once the envelope is opened. Humph, he's really good at playing games. He has to make sure this person can deliver the letter and is also dead."

The moment he heard about the monster, Qi Fei's head exploded with a buzzing sound: "Did it appear again?!"

Zhong Kui looked at him and raised an eyebrow: "Why? Are you looking forward to it?"

"No, I've always had this worry that's been dormant for a while, and I feel like something big is going to happen."

Zhong Kui glanced at the bloodstains on the ground and said, "It's here just as I said it."

"Do you know what happened?" Qi Fei asked.

Zhong Kui shrugged. "I'm in seclusion in the mountains, what can I know? Who did this charlatan offend?"

"It's not that he offended anyone, he is suspected of murdering Huang Daqiu." Qi Fei said.

Zhong Kui didn't seem surprised at all, and just said calmly, "Is Huang Daqiu dead?"

"What? You still want to say that you can tell his fortune and know that he will die?"

"For such a flamboyant businessman like him, it's understandable that this would happen. However, he just asked me to save him, and he seemed desperate."

"Yes, he posted a Weibo after Huang Daqiu's death, and attached a photo, saying that he did not kill him. Now the whole world is watching this case. It's really a headache. I thought that after solving Hong Mei's case, I could keep a low profile for a while, but it's really impossible to keep a low profile even if I want to." Qi Fei smiled bitterly.

At this moment, Granny Meng suddenly said to Zhong Kui, "Great Immortal, it's getting late. Let's go back up the mountain." Zhong Kui understood what she meant, but still refused. "That person knew I wasn't at the police station, so he sent the Golden Snake Immortal to deliver the message. It would be awkward not to go with such a sincere invitation."

As he spoke, the corner of his mouth raised.

"This is his trick. He wants you to come out of seclusion." said Granny Meng.

"Grandma, if we don't play the game, how can we know who wins? He wants to play with me, so I'll play with him. You just stay in town and wait for me to come back."

After hearing this, Granny Meng shook her head stubbornly: "Great Immortal, if you want to go to Nancheng, then take me with you. This time..." She glanced at Qi Fei unkindly and said, "I can't leave you alone."

However, on the way back to Nancheng, Grandma Meng was dragged into another car by Wu Shanqiu.

In the end, Qi Fei and Zhong Kui returned in a separate car.

It's been a while since we last met.

The atmosphere on the road was a little subtle.

Zhong Kui, who always likes to tease Qi Fei's ears, looks very silent today.

While driving, Qi Fei couldn't help but look at Zhong Kui who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"What are you looking at?" Zhong Kui stared ahead and finally spoke.

"Ahem." Qi Fei cleared his throat. "You weren't in a good state last time in the Cloud Deep Secret Realm. I wanted to see how you were feeling..."

"pretty good."

"How's the wound on your arm?"

"All right."

There was another awkward silence.

"Um, Grandma Meng, it seems like you don't like me very much?"

"Are you also interested in grandma?" Zhong Kui said seriously.

"What are you talking about?" Qi Fei was helpless, but he was happy in his heart. He would make fun of him. It seemed that Zhong Kui was back. He breathed a sigh of relief, "I said, this case is a bit troublesome. After Huang Daqiu's death, conspiracy theories came out online."

"There is indeed a conspiracy." Zhong Kui said immediately.

"Are you talking about the matter of sending you a letter? Are you sure it was a monster who did it?" Qi Fei thought about the situation of the family massacre and couldn't help but think of the massacre of the Zhong family in Baicheng.

Rain began to fall on the highway, pattering against the car windows. Qi Fei took a deep breath. "I'm worried. Granny Meng is right. The monster led Ying Shuigen to you for one reason: he wants you and me to be tied together. I don't know what his intentions are, but I'm sure they don't have good intentions."

"Qi Fei, it was me who wanted to tie us together. He was just provoked and excited. Very good, we both took a step forward."

"So I'm still your tool, right?"

“Isn’t that good?”

The car braked suddenly and stopped by the roadside. Qi Fei held the steering wheel tightly with both hands. The two of them stared ahead without saying a word.

"Zhong Kui, I've never lost all my resistance to someone like I did when I was with you. I never thought that your frivolous behavior towards me was just a joke. I know you can read people's hearts, psychologically. But love is unreasonable, so unreasonable that you will willingly do anything for the other person, even..."

"I can disappear from this world for you." Zhong Kui said calmly, "If that's what you mean, I was born to die."
