This sandbox game is unreliable

In the early morning of the next day, there was quite a commotion in Lingcheng.

Seven big families in the city disappeared in a row. It is normal to say that people are dead, but the problem is that none of them are alive or dead.

All the torn clothes were left behind, and everyone was missing.

And it wasn't just a single person, from the slaves to the masters of the seven big families, ranging from thirty to hundreds, just disappeared from the world for no reason.

This matter naturally attracted the attention of the commander of Lingcheng, so he sent a lot of soldiers and patrols to assist in the investigation.

Even the surrounding area was blocked.

After all, this matter is too weird, and it can make hundreds of people disappear so silently, which shows that the other party also has the ability to make the entire Marshal's Mansion disappear together.

You must know that there is really no movement at all, and the modus operandi can be called weird.

All the people in Lingcheng were panicked, and they had to be vigilant, and even had to spend a lot of blood to catch the murderer.

Of course, the upper class thinks so, but the actual executors are doing foreign work.

They are just a group of foodies, with so little money every month, why bother to risk their lives.

Look at this guy, he's fighting with these big families, and it's not against the people below them. If he really wants to be stupid to chase and kill him, what if he disappears?

Those handsome and wealthy businessmen above are relieved, if they are gone, there will really be nothing left.

As for compensation?

In this world, from top to bottom, even a copper coin for the hard-working money is considered a conscience.

Unless there is a superior officer present, these people are slowly investigating this matter, basically hoping that they can't find anything.

If they find out something by themselves, they are not allowed to track it down, which is life-threatening.

The whole world is so chaotic and rotten, and everyone tacitly lives in their own way.

Ji Lan changed her clothes at this time, but it was still extremely damp, and she was sitting in the yard embroidering something.

It looks like it's back to normal, and it is.

"Lan'er, don't go out these days. The Zhang family has all disappeared. It is said that ghosts are responsible."

"It's not just the Zhang family that suffered a thousand knives, but there are also other Li families and Wang families. There are seven families in total. This is a few hundred people. It's scary to die just like that."

"But Lan'er, don't worry, your father has already hired some thugs to protect the courtyard. When we are full of people, those ghosts will not dare to come in."

Seeing Ji Lan embroidering in the yard, Ji's mother breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to chatter.

Ji Lan's state yesterday made people worry a lot.

"I see, mother." Ji Lan's voice was still weird like crying, but she replied.

"It's good that you know." Ji's mother finished speaking angrily, and looked at what Ji Lan was embroidering curiously.

"By the way, yesterday I heard from Huang Po and the others that you drank dozens of barrels of water, which"

Mother Ji asked this question hesitantly. Judging from yesterday's situation, those servants were almost terrified.

Ji Lan smiled cleverly: "Don't listen to those gossip women talking nonsense. When I came back, I was thirsty and there was not enough water in the pot, so I had to drink some by myself. They thought I drank it all, but most of it was spilled on the pot. On my body, mother, when you hugged me yesterday, your clothes were also wet."

The reason for saying this is very legitimate, but Ji Mu feels that there is something wrong, but she just thinks about it deeply, and she can't seem to find anything wrong with her words.

"Hmph, it really is those gossiping women who are chewing their tongues behind their backs." After thinking about it for a while, they couldn't find anything wrong with the other party. Ji's mother could only agree with Ji Lan's words, and when she thought of those servants' words, she couldn't help snorting .

"Mother, you also think this is the reason. I think you are too kind to them on weekdays. You dare to say anything to each of them. I am afraid that the slaves will bully the master in the future. You have to punish them properly." Ji Lanshun Then he added.

Ji's mother nodded: "You're right, it's really too presumptuous."

A gleam of red light flashed in Ji Lan's eyes, and then disappeared again. At this time, she was more like a person.

"Tsk tsk, this whole body of blood and resentment can't be stopped, but this strength is growing too fast, it's almost as unscientific as fighting monsters and upgrading."

Chen Xiyi was sitting in the firm, just finished negotiating the business with a caravan, which cost him twelve yuan. He thought he could get ten yuan, but he only got twelve yuan, but it's not bad. These two are gone.

The reason why the price was lowered was because Chen Xiyi didn't want people to take him for granted. Otherwise, you would pay as much as they said they would. Isn't that stupid, especially if you use a currency that preserves value like Ocean.

"The past two days must have been restless, and I don't know how far Ji Lan can grow."

Currently, Ji Lan is in a period of rapid development. This does not mean that Ji Lan has unlimited potential, and the upper limit is estimated to be only the strength of the water ghost in the water.

But this is powerful enough, perhaps even comparable to some bait gas refiners.

Anyone who is a good Fengshui master or a warlock passing through this Ji's mansion will be able to sense something is wrong.

Of course, it's just a perception, and I don't think too much.

After all, according to common sense, it is absolutely impossible for there to be ghosts and ghosts in the city. Even those terrifying monsters who can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, and are unparalleled in the world, would not dare to approach a small village of a hundred people.

Popularity and yang energy are enough to obliterate it.

Everyone is an aura, and the aura of demons and ghosts can provide them with strength. Although human auras cannot provide strength, they can wipe out each other with the aura of demons and ghosts. What's more, the quantity and quality of popularity and yang energy that form a settlement are comparable Demons and ghosts have powerful auras.

Of course, these restrictions basically do not exist for Qi refiners.

Even Chen Xiyi was not affected.

This is an insignificant part of the rights and interests obtained by all Qi refiners after the monopoly.

"Why is the species of ghosts abandoned by the alchemists?"

Chen Xiyi can be sure that Qi refiners have already had records in this regard.

The insanity of Qi refiners must have been experimented on humans. In Chen Xiyi's eyes, ghosts are a rare synthetic species.

Regardless of its own race value or subsequent development potential, as long as better ghosts are used, a stronger body can be obtained.

He used water ghosts, and if he used ghosts such as starving ghosts, mother-child ghosts, etc., the resulting ghosts might be even stronger.

"From this, it can be completely judged that the synthetic ghost species is defective."

Otherwise, how could the alchemists abandon such a good project? Chen Xiyi is still developing it initially, and it can be improved and optimized in the future.

"In this way, it is more likely that the defects of the ghost man cannot be optimized, or there is no way to meet the standards required by the alchemists after optimization?"

Chen Xiyi kept writing down a lot of speculation in the system.

This ghost man is a species that he optimized from the semi-water ghost by chance, but it is definitely not a new species.

"Brother Chen, the departure time may have to be postponed for a few days, something serious happened in the city." A well-built caravan steward came over and said apologetically.

"Important event? What important event, then we have to postpone it for a few days." Chen Xiyi asked calmly.

The steward did not hide anything: "I don't know, I'm still inquiring. It is said that there were seven family extermination cases, and none of the hundreds of people survived."

"There is no conclusion on this matter, at least it will take three to five days, but don't worry, you don't need to pay for the board and lodging these days, because we are not keeping our promises."

This steward is also a good person. Chen Xiyi lives in their chamber of commerce, and how much money he can have for food and lodging. Reputation is the most important thing.

"It's been so long, isn't it the closure of the city?" Chen Xiyi asked back.

"That's not that serious. It will be closed for a day at most. Lingcheng can't stand such a seal." The steward thought for a while and said.

As the steward of the caravan, I still have a certain understanding of the economic situation in Lingcheng. If it is closed for ten days and a half months, there may be problems.

Lingcheng is not comparable to Dongtai City. If you say that Lingcheng is surrounded by mountains, it is not a trivial matter to go out. Of course, it is also very difficult to get in.

It is also because of this that it is much more stable than outside, after all, not many people are willing to come here.

Of course, the answer is economic poverty. Except for caravans willing to come, foreign commerce is basically very little, all relying on self-sufficiency inside and outside the city.

If the city is closed and the internal and external supplies are cut off, the situation in the city will be worse than that of Dongtai City, which was closed for a month in less than ten days.

"That's good. Let's go early and rest assured. After all, this person has killed hundreds of people. If it is our turn to come here, it will be a disaster." Chen Xiyi said casually as if he didn't know anything. with.

The steward also sighed: "Yes, the cities in central Sichuan are the most peaceful on weekdays. Everyone is separated by mountains and forests, so it is inconvenient to march. I never imagined that there would be such a crazy person in Lingcheng, who would kill seven in one night." The family is full, and to be honest, I suspect that the commander of Lingcheng did it."

"It's better to be careful when you are in charge. Don't say these words. The disaster is real. If someone hears it, even if our caravan is powerful, it will inevitably fall into the mouth." Chen Xiyi persuaded very kindly.

"That's right, I'm open-mouthed." When the steward heard Chen Xiyi's words, he could tell the good from the bad.

After the two chatted for a while, the steward also left in a hurry. As the steward of the caravan, he wouldn't just hang around like Chen Xiyi, but he also had serious business, so he was able to chat with Chen Xiyi as if he had some free time. It came out, let alone at this moment of sudden change.

"I don't know if there will be any changes tonight."

Chen Xiyi's vision shifted to the Eye of Hope watching Ji Lan. Ji Lan looked very normal, without the slightest problem, except that her body was relatively wet.

And as the night gradually fell, a large number of soldiers began to patrol the entire Lingcheng, and the Marshal's Mansion, wealthy merchants, etc. were the key targets of inspection.

And Ji Lan was shrouded in the night, constantly walking in the shadows accompanied by water stains.

The scarlet eyes full of hunger did not look at those rich households, but instead fell on the patrolling soldiers.

The saliva secreted from her mouth kept coming together, and Ji Lan, with loose hair, looked at the soldiers pickily, as if she was looking for targets that met her psychological expectations.

In the next second, the last soldier with a gun silently covered his mouth and nose with a pair of hands protruding from the shadows. There was no time to struggle and shout, the dripping water droplets and the slight chewing sound in the shadows Start wandering in the silent night.

However, the patrolling soldiers seemed to turn a deaf ear, completely unaware of the strange movement in the corner of the shadow.

Only Chen Xiyi observed all this with hopeful eyes, and kept recording these data in the system.
