Hidden Corner

Chapter 388 388 Madness 2

Soon, a faint response came from the distance, an old brown horse galloping towards this direction at a fast pace.

Not long after, the two got on their horses together and ran at full speed along the loess driveway on the bumpy horseback.

 On the black plain, only the last corner of the setting sun is left on the horizon.

 It was about to get completely dark, and the light rain slowly stopped.

Li Chengyi sat on the horse, constantly sorting out the memories in his body.

 In the 179th year of Shaoyin, the dynasty was corrupt. The emperor was obsessed with pleasure and wasted his time on government affairs.

The situation in various places is corrupt and the people are in dire straits.

 The level of civilization in this place is the Cold War Age.

These are actually nothing.

 What really made him feel important were the various people in the world of martial arts and martial arts who often existed in Shaoyin.

 Compared to the corrupt government, the most dangerous people here are the so-called martial arts practitioners. And...monsters.

　　Sitting on the horse, I ran for a full quarter of an hour before it was completely dark.

Directly in front of the loess lane, a towering city wall built of black soil finally appeared.

 The city wall more than five meters high forms an irregular circle and protects the black and gray houses inside.

 On the city wall, officers and soldiers wearing black leather armor and holding long guns could be vaguely seen patrolling back and forth.

Torches illuminated the dark surroundings from a distance.

 The approach of the old horse made the officers and soldiers guarding the gate slightly nervous. They clenched their spears, their eyes tightened, and they were about to speak.

“It’s Chen Zhong and Wang Datou’s family!” an older officer said loudly.

 Suddenly several officers and soldiers moved out of the way.

The old horse also slowed down and walked into the city gate.

 Several officers and soldiers came up quickly.

 "Chen Zhong, what's going on with you? Where are the others!?"

"We went to pick up people from the White Porcelain Chamber of Commerce. We met a madman. Except for the two of us, everyone else died." Chen Zhong got off his horse and said with pale lips, trembling.

Li Chengyi turned over and dismounted. The blood on his mouth and nose had dried up, making him look extremely scary.

 “I’m fine, go and find a doctor for Ah Chen quickly!” Chen Zhong said loudly.

A group of officers and soldiers were shocked and quickly divided their work. One went to the Wang family to call for help, and the other went to call for the doctor.

Without further explanation, Li Chengyi was pulled onto a wooden stretcher, and the two of them carried him towards the city together.

As night approaches, the streets in the town are deserted and there are no people around.

Torches here also cost money. Ordinary families don’t have much money, and only a little oil lamp faintly shines through the wooden window.

 The attic houses of wealthy people are much brighter.

 But overall, most of the entire town is dark.

 There was no moonlight, and in some places it was even hard to see.

 The two officers and soldiers were strong and put two torches on the stretcher and trotted along.

Soon, we came to a large courtyard.

The door with the red painted dog head knocker looks quite impressive.

 There is a large tree on the left side in front of the door that is surrounded by one person. I can’t tell what kind it is. There is a wooden swing hanging on the trunk, which is swaying in the wind.

As soon as the two officers and soldiers arrived, the door opened automatically from the inside and a group of people ran out.

The leader is a strong black-haired man with a height of two meters and a full beard.

This strong man wore a black wolf-skin cloak with only a gray lining underneath. He was holding a bright silver machete in one hand. When he saw the stretcher, he quickly came over.

 "Achen!" he shouted loudly, "Are you okay!? Let me see!"

Li Chengyi was put down and according to the memory in his mind, he recognized the strong man in front of him.

 The head of the Wang family, the head catcher Wang Yifeng.

Even though Wang Yifeng is just a head catcher, the more than ten catchers he manages are all good at sword and gun skills.

These people, together with the hired temporary defense personnel, numbering almost a hundred people, have become the main force in maintaining law and order in the entire Xinmeng Town.

Even the officers, soldiers and generals guarding the gate have to give him some face.

Li Chengyi didn't need to pretend, just by looking at the blood stains on his face and the pale cheeks that had lost too much blood, you could tell how weak his body was.

 That is, after his shadow replacement, he merged with this body, swallowing it up and replacing it. His physical condition quickly improved.

 Otherwise, Wang Yichen would still be in a corpse state now.

"Dad, I'm fine." Li Chengyi pretended to have Wang Yichen's previous tone and answered with difficulty.

 “It’s just that my eyes are a bit blurry and I want to rest.”

"Hurry! Send it in quickly. The doctor is already here. Show it to my son quickly!" Wang Yifeng said urgently. He directed everyone to carry Li Chengyi in.

“I went out of the city for more than ten miles to pick up someone, but something happened. It’s getting more and more unsafe outside.”

“A while ago, the town general patrolled and swept the driveway once, but it just stopped working again.”

"Those **** monsters come and go like the wind, and there is no way to stop them. This time, even the prince who arrested the king was seriously injured. We ordinary people encountered it, wouldn't it?"

"The Wang family has also suffered. Is it possible that we really have no choice but to practice martial arts!?"

“There is no way to practice martial arts. Isn’t Wang Captou great? His son was injured by those crazy monsters.”

“Fortunately, the Wang family is very lucky. It is a blessing that they did not contract pinkeye.”

Li Chengyi was lying on a stretcher, his powerful hearing listening to the whispers of the people watching the excitement around him. Combining fragmented memories, he quickly understood the general situation of this place.

As for calling someone daddy to someone he doesn’t know, it’s just to disguise his identity. With Li Chengyi’s thick skin, he doesn’t care about this.

 Entering the compound, you can see that the Wang family is a small family that has just emerged. Except for a cook, the rest of the family takes care of themselves.

 A middle-aged woman with a mole on the corner of her mouth, and a young woman wearing a red-bottomed black-sleeved long coat, hurried up to meet her.

"What's wrong with Ah Chen? Didn't he just go out for a long time to pick up someone? How could this happen? How did he get hurt like this?" the woman asked with a trembling voice.

 She wanted to reach out and touch Li Chengyi, but she didn't dare.

 The woman is Wang Lin, whose real name is Lin Xiuxian. She is also the biological mother of three children of the Wang family.

The young woman on the side looked ugly and stared at Li Chengyi without saying a word.

 She is Wang Yichen’s sister, Wang Yiheng.

The two of them also have an eldest brother named Wang Yijue, who is not at home.

 “Quickly give way, Doctor Fang is here!”

 The sound of rapid footsteps was heard nearby.

 A group of people gathered around an old man and approached.

Then there was a similar process of looking, hearing and asking. The old doctor’s diagnosis was quite accurate and he concluded that Li Chengyi had lost too much blood and everything else was fine.

This also made the Wang family present relieved.

“You’re not suffering from pink eye, are you?” the officers and soldiers who followed in couldn’t help but ask.

“No, although pinkeye is mainly spread through blood, it still needs to be in sufficient quantity.” Fang Langzhong explained. "The murderer had only a very short contact time with Mr. Chen, and he did not show any blood. The possibility of being infected is very small."

 “That’s good, that’s good”

The officers and soldiers sighed, "Then I will go back immediately and report to the town general."

 “Thank you.” Wang Yifeng clasped his fists.

 “The head catcher is being polite, as you should.” The officers and soldiers turned around and trotted away.

“Send Achen to rest first. All the clothes on his body must be disposed of to avoid infection.” Wang Yifeng ordered.

 Suddenly, Li Chengyi, escorted by a group of people, returned to his room.

 Took off all the clothes on his body and took a shower by himself. Then I rubbed my hair dry with a dry towel and pretended to sleep.

 Despite the fusion of his supports, the body is now bleeding out and must rest.

This is logical.

 At the same time, the large number of fragmented memories in his mind also need to be sorted out.

Especially the pink eye disease, infection, and **** disease.

These are the things that concern him a lot.

He did not believe that Midran, which the surrounding Black Sea beings were unwilling to enter, would be a simple and backward area.

 Lying on the bed, the voices of Wang Captou Wang Yifeng and his wife Wang Linshi could be heard faintly outside the window.

Although their voices were very low, Li Chengyi's strong hearing could still make a general impression.

"More and more people have been infected in the town recently. We killed more than ten people in the past few days, and several more appeared today. This can't continue. Today, Ah Chen actually encountered pink eye in such a close place to the town. "I wonder if Lord Zhenjiang's letter has been sent out?" Wang Lin asked worriedly.

"Even if the blood guards receive the letter, they won't be able to come here so quickly. It will take at least half a month just to travel, and we can only rely on us for this half month." Wang Yifeng said, "You should take good care of Ah Chen. He only knows a few words about fists and kicks, but he dares to wander out of the city. He really doesn't know how to write the word "death".

“Who would have thought that such a close place would actually be a place where everyone went for a walk to dig for medicine.”

"Okay, don't think too much, there will always be a way. At worst, I will **** you to Yushan County." Wang Yifeng sighed.

 “Alas, ever since the Young Emperor’s misfortune in practicing the Divine Limitation Skill, the world has become increasingly chaotic.”

“Only blood guards can use special weapons and props to kill those blood-bodied monsters. For the rest, no matter how much martial arts you practice, it’s useless. How can anyone beat those monsters?”

“What do you know, that is hope. Tomorrow I will go and talk to the town general, lead people to patrol around again, and use dispersing incense to drive away the **** monsters.

 Okay, let’s not talk anymore and go to sleep. I have to go see Ah Chen in the middle of the night. "

 “Uh-huh. Be careful tomorrow.”

 “I know, don’t worry.”

 The voice quieted down.

Li Chengyi opened his eyes and lay quietly on the bed, watching the mosquito net fluttering slightly in the wind, and gradually got some impressions of the world in his mind.

 ‘Shen limit. Determination? ’

 Just when he heard this word, he felt inexplicably familiar.

 No words all night.

Except for the occasional bursts of weird roars coming from a distance outside, most people in the entire town fell into a deep sleep quietly.

 For a whole night, Li Chengyi completely sorted out his memories.

Also roughly understands the situation in Shaoyin Kingdom.

 The entire Shaoyin Kingdom is located on an endless black earth plain.

There is an extremely terrifying infectious disease here, and its name is pinkeye.

Anyone infected with pinkeye will quickly become murderous and brutal, and their strength, speed, and physique will be greatly improved.

And they will also develop a form called blood body, instantly changing from a human form to a terrifying monster at least three meters tall.

These monsters have different shapes, but they all have one characteristic in common, that is, their bodies are covered with sticky blood.

Everywhere he passed, blood was splashed. As long as anyone was splashed with this blood, no matter whether it was a civilian or a martial arts master, he would quickly become a new pinkeye infected person.

In order to fight against these monsters, Shaoyin Kingdom established the Blood Guard Department, which used various strange weapons and props to eliminate various monsters with difficulty.

 ‘There seems to be no clues about the colorful dragon in this place.’ After sorting out the information, Li Chengyi frowned.

His main purpose of coming here is to find the Heart of the Symphony Dragon, but now, this place seems
