Chapter 118

"You have nothing to do with Sanwu Town, how did you find me here?" Zhong Kui's brows sank.

"He, he told me to give this to you, and you would understand!" Ying Shuigen tremblingly took out a letter he had been keeping close to his body from his underwear.

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

However, Zhong Kui was very familiar with this content. The painting was of that monster, and the text was in Ancient Greek: "Man spends his whole life looking for his other half."

After reading it, Zhong Kui sneered: "Hmph, he really is troublesome." Then she observed Ying Shuigen in front of her: "Have you seen him?"

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

"I... I..." Ying Shuigen suddenly covered his neck with his hands, as if he were possessed, choking himself.

Zhong Kui knew something was wrong and didn't say a word, using the small copper knife at hand to stab into Ying Shuigen's neck.

At this moment, Qi Fei arrived with the police. Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.

"Zhong Kui!" Qi Fei shouted.

And Zhong Kui looked at him with cold eyes, without any intention of showing mercy.

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

"Brother Fei, did Zhong Kui kill him?!" Wu Shanqiu muttered, unable to believe what she was seeing.

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

As he spoke, he hurried forward to check Ying Shuigen's condition.

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

"It's highly likely that he had acute poisoning and suffocation. I cut open his trachea." Even though her hands were covered in blood, Zhong Kui was as calm as ever. "There isn't much time left for him."

The ambulance finally arrived in this remote small town. When Ying Shuigen was carried onto the ambulance, he was no longer moving.

No one had any idea whether Ying Shuigen could be saved.

Zhong Kui pointed to the opened letter: "Take it back and check it. Apo and I are both fine. It should be that before he came, the monster had already poisoned him, and it would take effect when the envelope was opened. Hmph, he really knows how to play. He has to ensure that this person can deliver the letter and be a dead man at the same time."

Hearing the word monster, Qi Fei's head exploded with a "buzz": "Has it appeared again?!"

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

"No, I always have a worry. It has been dormant for a period of time, and I feel like something big is going to happen."

Zhong Kui glanced at the bloodstains on the ground: "It came as soon as it was mentioned."

"You know what happened, right?" Qi Fei asked.

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

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

Zhong Kui didn't seem surprised, just said in a flat tone: "Huang Daqiu is dead?"

"Why? Do you want to say that you can read faces and knew he would die?"

"For a businessman as flamboyant as him, such an outcome is within reason. However, he just asked me to save him, and he looked very desperate."

"Yes, he posted a Weibo after Huang Daqiu died, specifically attaching a photo, saying he wasn't the one who killed 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." Qi Fei smiled bitterly.

At this moment, Meng Apo suddenly spoke to Zhong Kui: "Great Immortal, it's getting late, let's go back up the mountain."

Zhong Kui naturally understood what she meant, but still refused: "That person knows I'm not at the police station and specifically asked the Golden Snake Immortal to deliver the letter. Such a sincere invitation, it wouldn't be good if I didn't go."

As she spoke, the corners of her mouth lifted.

"This is his trick to get you out of the mountain." Meng Apo said.

"Apo, if you don't play the game, how do you know who wins or loses? If he wants to play with me, I'll just play with him. You can stay in town and wait for me to come back."

Meng Apo heard this and shook her head stubbornly: "Great Immortal, if you want to go to Nancheng, then take me with you. This time..." As she spoke, she gave Qi Fei a bad look, "I can't let you be alone."

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

The result was still Qi Fei and Zhong Kui in a car alone.

It had been a while since they last met.

The atmosphere on the road was a bit subtle.

Zhong Kui, who usually liked to tease Qi Fei's ears, looked very silent today.

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

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

"Cough, cough." Qi Fei cleared his throat. "Your condition wasn't very good last time in the Yun Shen Secret Realm, I wanted to see your complexion..."

"It's quite good."

"How is the wound on your arm?"

"It's healed."

Another awkward silence.

"That, Meng Apo, doesn't seem to like me very much?"

"Are you interested in Apo too?" Zhong Kui said seriously.

"What are you talking about?" Qi Fei was helpless, but happy in his heart. Being able to joke with him, it seemed that Zhong Kui had returned. He let out a long sigh of relief. "I just said, this case is a bit troublesome. Once Huang Daqiu died, conspiracy theories appeared on the internet."

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

"Are you talking about the letter delivery? Are you sure the monster did it?" Qi Fei thought about the extermination of the family and couldn't help but associate it with the extermination of the Zhong family in Baicheng.

It started to rain on the highway, and the rain pattered against the car window. Qi Fei took a deep breath: "I'm worried that Meng Apo is right. The monster lured Ying Shuigen to you for only one reason, which is that it wants you and me to be tied together. Although I don't know what its intention is, I am sure it definitely doesn't have good intentions."

"Qi Fei, it is I who want to tie us together. It was just provoked and is very excited. Very good, we have both taken a step forward."

"So I am still your tool to be used, right?"

"Isn't this good?"

The car braked sharply and stopped on the side of the road. Qi Fei gripped the steering wheel tightly, and the two stared ahead without speaking.

"Zhong Kui, I have never lost all resistance to a person like I do when facing you. I never thought that the flirtatiousness you showed me was just a joke. I know you can read people's hearts, on a psychological level. But love is unreasonable, so unreasonable that one is willing to do anything for the other, even..."

"I can disappear from this world for you." Zhong Kui said calmly. "If this is what you want to say, I have always been an existence born toward death."
