The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

No. 95, Nanluoguxiang.

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, the gate of courtyard number 95 was violently smashed open, and a group of Japanese military police, along with six puppet soldiers, stormed in.

"Everyone, come out and line up!"

"Hurry up, everyone! The locust army is searching this place!"

A puppet army leader ran into the central courtyard and started shouting loudly.

Everyone in courtyard number 95 was terrified by what they saw. It was dinnertime, and almost all the residents were in the courtyard.

Driven by several puppet soldiers, everyone in the courtyard rushed towards the central courtyard.

Li Xiao had just returned home, and before he could even put makeup on his mother and cousin Li Mingzhi, the gate to his courtyard was kicked open.

When the Japanese lieutenant at the head of the group saw Wang Xia, a wolf-like glint appeared in his lewd little eyes.

"Wow, I never expected to find such a beautiful woman here!"

The Japanese lieutenant looked at Li Mingzhi again and was immediately stunned by her appearance.

Li Mingzhi is also extremely beautiful, and since she recently became pregnant again, she exudes a mature feminine charm.

Li Mingzhi and Wang Xia were terrified by the wolf-like gaze of the Japanese lieutenant. They gripped each other's arms tightly, their once rosy complexions turning pale.

Just then, a strong body blocked the Japanese lieutenant's greedy gaze directed at the two women.

"Sir, these two are my mother and my aunt. Please take good care of them!"

Li Xiao took two small yellow croakers out of his pocket and stuffed them into the Japanese soldier's hand.

This is, after all, his old hideout, where his family all live. If he could settle things with money, he wouldn't be willing to go on a killing spree here.

The Japanese lieutenant lowered his head, looked at the two gleaming gold bars in his hand, couldn't help but toss them in his hand, and then stuffed them into his pocket.

"Yo shi, you're such a law-abiding citizen!"

The Japanese lieutenant looked at Wang Xia and Li Mingzhi again, then grinned and said, "You let them keep me company for one night, and I won't bother them again!"

Li Xiao's originally calm expression suddenly turned grim!

The Japanese lieutenant was also stunned by the killing intent emanating from Li Xiao. He couldn't help but take a step back, one hand already gripping the holster at his waist.

At this moment, it knew very well that the young man in front of it, who looked not very old, was definitely a ruthless person who had seen blood. He might even be an anti-Japanese element!

"What are you doing?"

"I'll send you to hell!"

At this critical moment, Li Xiao did not hesitate at all.

He moved with lightning speed, flashing past two Japanese soldiers and two puppet soldiers, before returning to his original position.

Once he regained his footing, Wang Xia and Li Mingzhi could see clearly that Li Xiao was holding an M9 American military knife in a reverse grip, with a few drops of blood dripping onto the ground from the black blade.

"Mom, quickly take Auntie and the others inside and put on some makeup!"

"Okay!"

At this moment, each of the four men had a bloody gash on their neck, and blood was gushing from their throats.

Li Xiao's ruthless and decisive methods terrified them.

The two Japanese soldiers and the two puppet soldiers covered their throats with their hands, staring at Li Xiao with eyes like dead fish, and making "clucking" sounds.

After being reminded by Li Xiao, the two women quickly recovered from their shock.

They tried their best to calm their fear, then quickly turned around, took the children's hands, and hurriedly went into the house.

With a wave of his hand, Li Xiao directly put the four corpses into the supermarket space, and also cleaned up the blood splattered on the ground.

He then walked to the front of the yard and opened the latch on the front gate.

He opened both doors a crack and returned to the backyard of the east wing.

None of this happened to alert the residents of No. 95 Courtyard.

A minute later, Wang Xia and Li Mingzhi, having finished their makeup, came out of the house.

When they discovered that the four corpses in the east courtyard had disappeared, a look of confusion reappeared in their eyes.

"Mother, Aunt, come out with me. Don't show any panic."

"good!"

When Li Xiao and his family walked out of the back gate, more than sixty residents had already gathered in the middle courtyard.

At that moment, puppet troops were questioning the residents about their identities and checking their good citizen certificates one by one.

"Is there anyone else who hasn't arrived yet?"

"There's another family living in this east courtyard, but they haven't come at all."

"Oh, right, the He Daqing family, who live in the Intermediate Court, are also not here."

Li Xiao immediately recognized Yi Zhonghai's voice.

"We're here!"

Li Xiao walked out of the moon gate and went directly into the central courtyard.

More than a dozen Japanese soldiers and puppet troops in the courtyard all looked in this direction.

Upon discovering Li Xiao and his group, two Japanese soldiers immediately drew their guns and directed them to stand over.

Have you seen Captain Kobayashi?

Li Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood that the Japanese military policeman was referring to the Japanese lieutenant who had searched the east wing of their house.

"Sir, a few people went into our yard just now. After they checked our house, they left in a hurry through the front door, as if they had discovered something."

"What?!"

After hearing Li Xiao's words, the Japanese military policeman seemed to have thought of something.

It quickly called over three puppet soldiers.

"You three, go check out that yard over there right now!"

The puppet soldiers immediately saluted and said, "Hai!"

"Take me there!"

One of the puppet soldiers pointed at Li Xiaodao.

"good!"

Li Xiao turned around, gave his mother and aunt a wink, and then led the three puppet soldiers to the east wing.

After carefully inspecting the east courtyard, the three puppet soldiers noticed the front gate, which was slightly ajar.

The three of them didn't even bother to go out and take a look; they immediately returned to the courtyard at number 95 from the backyard.

"Reporting, sir, there is indeed no trace of Kobayashi-sama in the east courtyard. Their front gate is ajar, so it seems that Kobayashi-sama and the others did leave through the front gate."

After hearing the report from the puppet soldiers, the Japanese military police immediately turned to the rest of the Japanese soldiers and said, "Stop searching here and go support Captain Kobayashi immediately. He must have discovered something!"

"Hai!"

The group of people came and went quickly, and the courtyard soon returned to calm!

Li Xiao looked up at Yi Zhonghai, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

Yi Zhonghai was terrified by Li Xiao's look. He immediately explained, "Li Xiao, I was just trying to protect everyone in our compound. If I had lied and they found out, everyone in our compound would have been shot!"
