Volume 2 Chapter 78 A man or a ghost 

<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>

After everyone entered Shao Qing’s attack range, Shao Qing calmly clapped her hands together and countless vines flew out of the ground. They were like the bones in a cemetery. As long as there were living people within the area, they would be quickly entangled by the vines. 

This range was too large. Almost all the assassins were within range. The only one outside the range was stunned. Then he was easily swallowed down by the man eating flower that appeared from behind him. 

The man eating flower was like a king patrolling his own territory. He walked slowly among those who were bound by the vines. But when it saw its prey, it would open up his crown of flowers and swallow them in one bite. 

The flower was big, but after swallowing down six or seven people, it burped, indicating that it was full. 

Shao Qing controlled the vines, tightened quickly, and squeezed those people’s bodies. There was still Yan Qiyue next to them, who was specifically responsible for getting the fish that almost escaped. 

After the toxins were injected into the body of those people through the spikes, it would not take long for these living people to become leather bags filled with liquid. 

The vines absorbed the liquid in those skin bags through the spikes. Finally only a useless human skin was spread flat on the ground. 

This was a terrifying scene. If anyone else saw it, it would surely make them wet themselves, but Yan Qiyue was just stimulated.

He clung tightly to Shao Qing and said dreamily: “Sometimes I want to be eaten by you and be integrated with you. This way even if you don’t like me, you can’t refuse me anymore.” 

Shao Qing smiled and revealed two sharp little teeth: “Go away.” 

He spoke it as if it was her special hobby. Even if she was a zombie, she was also a zombie who paid attention to eating healthy. 

Human beings that had a clean outer appearance but rotten insides that were decaying with a stench are only eaten by brainless beasts and zombies who can’t think. 

Then Shao Qing cleaned up the scene. She didn’t find anything to prove the identity of these people, so she put away the bloated man eating flower and vines then took Yan Qiyue and Er Dai to the entrance of the base. 

By the time she reached the base, there was only Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue. Er Dai had already quietly sneaked into the base. 

Although she was under the banner of attracting snakes out of the hole this time, she still really wanted to investigate. If she can find what she wants, of course that would be the best. 

Now the mad demons will surely watch her closely and the people in this base will know in advance that she is coming. So why not let her be a target-like existence, attracting everyone’s eyes and then let Er Dai sneak in to investigate. (Editor– der but er dai cant tell them what he finds cause man dont speak O.o lololol)

As soon as Shao Qing appeared with Yan Qiyue at the gate of the base, the eyes of the two people who were lazily guarding the gate were about to fall to the ground.

They had received the news long ago. They thought that Shao Qing had absolutely no chance to make it through the woods, but Shao Qing not only came out, but also appeared in front of them unscathed. 

How could that not make them so surprised that their eyes were going to fall out? 

However, they reacted very quickly. One of them turned around quickly, presumably to run to report the news and the other responded with a forcibly flattering expression on his face: “Just from one look, the two look like very powerful superhumans. I wonder why the two are at our base?” 

Shao Qing replied: “We are here to tour.” 

The man’s mouth twitched. What good touring could be done at this broken place? It’s not close to a mountain or water, just a broken place that is too small. What kind of normal people will come to visit them? 

Don’t joke around.

But he didn’t dare to refute it. After all, he was very guilty, so he said shamelessly: “Yeah, yeah, we have very beautiful scenery here. There are quite a lot of people who come here to travel, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha …” 

The more he laughed, the more his throat felt dry. Finally he closed his mouth, unable to continue. 

Shao Qing asked very friendly: “Are there any procedures to enter your base?” 

“No.” He said reflectively. After he finished, he felt his reaction was not right. After all, if there is no inspection, he should have just let them in. So he quickly added: “The two are powerful superhumans at a glance. Ordinary people still have to get checked. But, you two don’t need it.”

“That’s great.” Shao Qing led Yan Qiyue in with a smile. As soon as Shao Qing entered, the man leaned against the door frame, his legs like noodles and he was sweating hard: “NND … NND… so lying is this hard…” 

As soon as they entered, they saw several people approaching to welcome them. The leader was a young man, who was very handsome. Especially his eyes, there was a hint of cunningness within them. As soon as he saw Shao Qing, he stepped forward to welcome her: “Oh, oh, such powerful superhumans have come to our base, your presence brings light to our humble dwelling. The two of you come in quickly. I don’t know, but what is the purpose of your visit to our base?” 

Shao Qing earnestly made up some nonsense: “Touring.” 

Yan Qiyue immediately added a sentence: “Honeymoon.” 

This young man’s shrewdness was much more sophisticated than the gatekeeper. He didn’t change his smile and then said enthusiastically: “If you are traveling, it’s best to say that you two should stay a few days longer. I will take the two of you around so you can have a look at our base. You two should also tell me about the changes in Jing Du. It’s been almost half a year since I’ve been there.” 

Shao Qing asked calmly, “How did you know we came from Jing Du?”

The young man froze for a moment and quickly reacted, laughing lightly: “Where can two such powerful superhumans come from? Besides, coming from the south, eighty to ninety percent have to pass by Jing Du. That’s how I guessed it. Did I guess right?”

“Guessed right, but no prize.” Shao Qing said expressionlessly. 

Even if the youth was even more shrewd, he couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed when Shao Qing was so cold and made that corny joke. 

He laughed a little forcefully and then said: “All the friends who come from afar are friends of mine. I want to invite the two to dinner tonight. Both of you must come over. Of course, the most important thing now is to arrange accommodation for the two. Come, oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Guan Haishan.” 

Shao Qing’s eyes rose sharply. Guan Haishan? The person mentioned by Zhu Mochen who has been dead for many years? 

She couldn’t help but take a closer look at Guan Haishan. He had a nice delicate face, skin was fair, and if she ignored the other things and only looked at his looks, he was another pretty boy. 

So Shao Qing reached out her hand silently and touched Guan Haishan’s face. It was as white and tender as it appeared, with a little warmth. It was not like a dead person, let alone a person who had died for many years. 

Yan Qiyue grabbed Shao Qing’s hand in his palm and said with a grudge: “Didn’t you say you’ll love me only? Why touch him? Isn’t touching me good enough?”

Shao Qing continued with her serious manner of speaking nonsense: “There is a fly on his face.” 

Guan Haishan: … 

Then Guan Haishan entered with a pair of people carrying “We are serious people” expressions. The residence he arranged for Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue was next to his residence. It was the largest and most spacious place in the entire base besides the base chief’s residence. 

Thus he used it to entertain his two guests. The main point that stood out was that he was the base chief. 

Dinner was set up by Guan Haishan and could be considered rather grand. During the banquet, Shao Qing kept observing Guan Haishan. Is Guan Haishan really the long-dead Guan Haishan that rumours spoke about? 

If so, how did he resurrect or did he not die at all? 

If not, why bear the name of Guan Haishan? 

If they weren’t in someone else’s territory, Shao Qing really wanted to dissect Guan Haishan to see if he was a ghost or not. 

Although both sides were harboring unfathomable motives, the atmosphere of the meal was still harmonious. After the meal, Guan Haishan and Shao Qing chatted, while Yan Qiyue looked like he was ready to doze off. 

Shao Qing held Yan Qiyue in a princess carry and then said: “My baby is sleepy, let’s talk again another day.” Then she impatiently ran away from Guan Haishan’s endless chatter. 

Guan Haishan sent them all the way to the door of Shao Qing’s room. He almost followed in when Shao Qing closed the door on him and almost clipped his nose.

When Shao Qing closed the door, she spoke bluntly: “I can accept chatting with you about the scenery and such, but are you planning on listening in to me and my baby’s bang bang bang?!”

Guan Haishan, who was shut outside, rubbed his nose. He walked back to his room after, then  ordered his men to pay close attention to the movements in Shao Qing’s room. If there was a problem, they were to report to him immediately. 

As for listening to anything in the corner, he was not stupid. He would not allow anyone that close, otherwise Shao Qing might discover them. 

The fact was that if anyone came close, they would be discovered by Shao Qing. She had planted several small vines in the corners of the door. They were inconspicuously hidden among the weeds. These vines were equivalent to her eyes and ears, detecting the surrounding movements. 

Once someone approaches or eavesdrops in a corner, Shao Qing would find out. 

After the set up was completed, Shao Qing entered the back room with Yan Qiyue. There she saw a bulge in the quilt on the bed. As soon as she opened it, she saw Er Dai holding a pillow and staring at Shao Qing with his eyes wet. 

“How is the investigation going?” Shao Qing threw Yan Qiyue on the bed and then disgustedly said, “Go take a bath first.” Then she started to change the sheets and bedding

God knows who had been lying on the bed before. If she did not change it to a new set of sheets and bedding, she would not be at ease. 

After changing the bed sheets and bedding, Er Dai laid proudly in the new quilt. Relying on gestures and the tacit understanding between the two, he relayed what he saw today. 

Er Dai had made a lap around the whole base and found two places that were strictly guarded. However, because it was daytime, there were too many people around. In addition, Shao Qing had just entered the city, so the guards were tighter. Thus Er Dai failed to go in and take a closer look. 

He looked at some other places, such as Guan Haishan’s bedroom. He found a very strange thing in Guan Haishan’s bedroom, that is, a pot of blood. 

Er Dai had checked it out and the blood was quite fresh. It was definitely taken today. 

As for other suspicious things, he hasn’t found it yet. He planned on going out again at night. 

Shao Qing touched his head and then said: “Don’t go out tonight. Guan Haishan’s defense will be extremely tight. Wait until tomorrow, do it while Guan Haishan takes us out for a walk. That would be your best opportunity.”

Er Dai nodded obediently and then shrunk his slender body into a ball. The ball sank into Shao Qing’s arms. He had seen Shao Qing holding Yan Qiyue back and was very unhappy! This baby is upset! 

Er Dai was obviously taller than Shao Qing, but when he shrunk himself into Shao Qing’s arms, it unexpectedly wasn’t strange at all. 

Instead, it was very harmonious. 

Shao Qing hugged him tightly, like holding a large Xiao Baozi. When Yan Qiyue came back from the bath, he saw the scene before him. 

He snorted, then got into the bed and hugged Shao Qing from behind. Shao Qing was like the meat inside of a sandwich. 

But the cool feeling in her arms and warmth on her back felt nice. 

Shao Qing didn’t fall asleep immediately. She thought about some things for a while and became more and more suspicious. Why is there a pot of fresh blood in Guan Haishan’s house? 

What does he need blood for?
