In the time-traveler chat group, am I the only one on Earth?

"Da Mao, what are you doing hiding there?"

Zhou Shufang is Zhang Li's mother.

He was playing mahjong at someone else's house when Zhang Xingui called him back.

Looking at the wolfhound trembling in the corner of the yard, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Zhang Xingui promptly came out to explain: "I don't know what's going on, this damn dog has been like this since the afternoon."

"is it?"

Zhou Shufang didn't think much of it and followed Zhang Xingui inside.

"By the way, why did you call me back?"

"I want to ask you something!"

"what's up?"

"What did it feel like when you finished off 'Hu Cuiping' with an awl six months ago?"

"Shh, keep your voice down? Why bring this up now?"

"Just asking casually..."

Aren't you afraid of being overheard?

Zhou Shufang pursed her lips and didn't answer: "I'll go change my coat first, and I'll talk to you when I come out."

After saying that, she walked towards the bedroom.

Squeak!

The moment the bedroom door was pushed open, a strong smell of blood hit the door.

Zhou Shufang's eyes widened as she saw Zhang Xingui lying on the bedroom floor, covered in blood.

A sense of fear instantly spread throughout her body.

Before she could react, her mouth was covered by a large gloved hand.

"Mmm...mmm..."

A dagger to the throat!!

Zhou Shufang, dead!

Chapter 143 The Swordsman's Inner Demons, Mission Completed

Xiao Yi and his mother had no other relatives.

So after killing Xiao Yi and his mother, Zhang Xingui found an excuse to return the money to his relative.

They told the relative that they had brought Xiao Yi and his mother to live with them.

That relative only visited Xiao Yi's family during the Chinese New Year.

With no financial ties remaining, Xiao Yi and his mother moved away, and the two sides completely lost contact.

This is also why their murders have not been exposed until now.

But now... Zhou Shufang hadn't even said a few words before she clutched her neck and collapsed to the ground.

The look in her eyes as she looked at Lu Yun was filled with fear, confusion, apprehension, and resentment.

Fresh blood flowed rapidly from between his fingers.

His body convulsed uncontrollably, and he soon stopped breathing.

Lu Yun swiftly dragged her into the room and searched Zhang Xingui for his ID card.

Then, taking the dagger, he went to the outer yard and walked towards the wolfhound.

"Come on, you dead dog, it's your turn."

This place is in the middle of nowhere, and Zhang Xingu's house isn't in a good location either. It's also the time when most families are cooking.

Therefore, no one will come at this time.

The wolfhound, which was half a person's height, had been terrified by the fierce tiger aura emanating from Lu Yun.

Seeing Lu Yun approaching with a dagger made him even more frightened.

Although it will fight back in a life-or-death situation, courage is the key to victory in battles between wild beasts.

Terrified, its fighting ability is now less than half of what it used to be.

Even if it is at full strength, how can it resist Lu Yun's immense power?

One kick and he was half-dead.

They dragged the half-dead dog into the room and stabbed it twice more, then threw the two people and the dog together, washed the dagger, and put it away.

I took out my phone, snapped a few photos, and sent them over.

Lu Yun: "Come on, brother, let's take a look."

Xiao Yi: "Holy crap, buddy, you just went ahead and attacked??"

Xiao Yi was somewhat surprised to see Lu Yun kill Zhang Xingui and his wife.

Although killing is a common occurrence in the world of martial arts.

But when committing murder in an urban dimension, doesn't one need a perfect plan beforehand?

Why did they act immediately after identifying the target?

Lu Yun: "Next, all that's missing is your girlfriend."

Xiao Yi: "No, she's not my girlfriend. Damn it, if it weren't for her, my mom and I wouldn't be dead. @Anger"

Lu Yun: "Alright, whatever, we're just missing her. Help me dispose of the tools used in the crime later."

Xiao Yi: "OK!"

The appearance modifier is different from Mystique.

While one can change their voice and mask their natural body odor, changing one's appearance is 100% an illusion.

Clothes, height, body shape, and gender are all illusions.

The main body remains unchanged.

Therefore, fingerprints cannot be altered, and the smell of blood on the body cannot be concealed.

However, since Lu Yun was wearing gloves, and other things could be sent and transferred via chat groups, he didn't need to worry about this problem.

After ending his conversation with Xiao Yi, Lu Yun casually cleaned up the scene.

He took out a set of Zhang Xingui's clothes from the wardrobe and changed into them. Then he sent the dagger and the bloodstained clothes and gloves to Xiao Yi, and took out another pair of gloves from the backpack system and put them on.

The sky outside was getting dark.

Lu Yun turned on two living room lights, then left a letter that Xiao Yi had written in advance on the dining table, closed the door, and left this blood-soaked home.

........

That evening, Lu Yun, disguised as a 'thin old man,' took a taxi to the county town.

He then used Zhang Xingui's phone to call Zhang Li.

Lu Yun sounded very anxious, saying that their affair from six months ago had been discovered and that she needed to come out to discuss the details.

Without thinking much, Zhang Li hurriedly arrived at the bridge outside the county town, following the address her father had given her.

The county town has a small population to begin with, and even cars rarely pass by here late at night.

Seeing that her father was dressed warmly and wearing thick gloves, she had no suspicions.

Because this kind of attire is normal on winter nights.

"Dad, what happened? Who found out about our affair?"

"Who else could it be? It must be Xiao Yi's relative. He called the police because he couldn't get through to 'Hu Cuiping' during the New Year."

"How could that be? That relative of hers never contacts us first. Even if we can't get through to her by phone during the Chinese New Year, it wouldn't be enough to call the police, would it?"

"I don't know about that, but this matter will eventually come back to us, so we need to agree on our story again."

"You made a special trip just for this?"

"Of course not, someone else asked me to pass on a message to you."

"What?"

"He told you not to lie to honest people in your next life."

"Wh...what?"

When Zhang Li heard Zhang Xingui say those words, she could hardly believe her ears.

What's wrong with my father today?

Was this marriage fraud scheme not something the entire family of three came up with together?

Why did you suddenly say something like that today?

Before she could think any further, she felt her arm being grabbed by the other person.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous force came from my neck.

The powerful force made it hard for her to breathe.

"Dad... what are you doing? I... I can't breathe."

Zhang Li squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth and tried to break free from Lu Yun's control by using her hands and feet.

But how could she possibly break free from Lu Yun's power?

He grabbed her ankle as she kicked, strangled her by the neck, and slammed her against the bridge wall.

"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, go in peace."

"You...you...you're not my dad...who are you?!"

"Dead people don't need to know so much."

The night in the county town was very quiet.
