After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

Chapter 243

When all the bodies were gathered on the first floor, everyone looked at each other, and Ni Yangzhou carefully checked the conditions of the dead.

Their skin was smooth and plump, their eyes were closed normally, and they had no breathing or heartbeat. If it weren't for their hands gathered forward, legs pressed together, and bodies stiff, the dead would have looked like they were fast asleep.

Ni Yangzhou came to Lin Qiushuang's side. Lin Qiushuang had a pretty face and looked young. Because she was naked when the accident happened, her Taoist partner Lin Chunshui helped her dress before moving her downstairs. In order to avoid suspicion, Ni Yangzhou did not conduct a close inspection.

Everyone was watching at this moment, so Ni Yangzhou squatted down and moved closer to observe whether Lin Qiu Shuang had any wounds on her body.

The same was true for the other deceased. Their bodies were intact, without any external injuries, and no spiritual power remains from any marks or talismans were seen.

Ni Yangzhou was a little upset, worried that he was not skilled enough and had overlooked some important clues.

Just as he was about to stand up, his shoes accidentally rubbed against the corpse's arm. Lin Chunshui, who had been watching over him with sorrow, hurriedly stopped the boy and said, "Don't! Don't step on it!"

Ni Yangzhou immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Lin Chunshui showed a crying face: "Junior sister, junior sister doesn't like outsiders to touch her."

Ni Yangzhou nodded and apologized again, then left and went to another couple to examine his dead mortal husband.

After saying sorry, Ni Yangzhou untied the man's hair and felt around to make sure there were no wounds.

The wife was very sad. She had carried her husband on her back. Now she was kneeling beside him in a daze, stroking his dead hair.

The wife, who was kneeling, watched the young man finish his examination, and silently tied up her husband's hair again, crying softly: "I told you to dry your hair before going to bed, but you didn't listen. Your hair roots are not dry yet, and you will have a headache in the underworld..."

The woman's voice was intimate and painful, and Ni Yangzhou couldn't bear it, so he just stepped aside. Manager Liu came over and looked at the young man, and Ni Yangzhou slowly shook his head.

Lin Chunshui also walked back to his junior sister's side, sat there in vain, and remained silent.

Feng Haobo looked at the young man and said angrily, "Master, have you found any clues?"

Ni Yangzhou raised his head and glanced at the other party, saying, "Not yet."

Feng Haobo's heart sank when he heard this. Among all the people trapped now, only the young man had the highest magic skills. If he couldn't do anything, the others couldn't be relied on. But at this time, he was already angry and anxious, so he opened his mouth and said, "It's just like this, and you still tortured us for so long!"

Shopkeeper Liu was unhappy. He knew that there was a real person behind the Taoist priest. Although he had heard that the real person had disappeared, he was not panicked because of this relationship. He felt that according to the Minghong Sect's custom of protecting the weak, the real person would always come. It was just a matter of time.

So at this time, he defended: "You are good, what did you see? Don't disturb others' thinking!"

Feng Haobo breathed out angrily through his nose to suppress the panic in his heart.

Ni Yangzhou was silent for a while, then said, "I didn't faint last night. I was practicing the whole night, and I didn't notice any unusual movements in the front building."

The boy felt that the hall where the corpses were stored was a little cold. There was no wind and no sound.

Zhong Peng nodded: "I don't know when I fainted, but I didn't hear any unusual movement before I fainted."

Zhong Peng's room was adjacent to the room of Taoist Wang, the first person to be found dead.

Shopkeeper Liu recalled: "I didn't practice, I slept peacefully, thinking of getting up early, and I didn't notice anything unusual."

Ni Yangzhou looked around at everyone's faces and estimated that, unless they were not deliberately hiding it, he was the only one present who had reached the foundation-building stage.

The young man walked up to Lin Chunshui and asked, "Did you eat or drink anything yesterday?"

Lin Chunshui looked at his sister who was lying peacefully on the ground with rosy cheeks and said, "We traveled so fast during the day that we didn't even have time to eat. When we finished shopping in the market in the evening and arrived at the inn, I ate some cakes I brought with me. My sister had no appetite, so she took a quick bath and we all went to bed."

Ni Yangzhou nodded, patted the other person's shoulder, and came to the kneeling woman: "Did you eat or drink anything yesterday?"

The woman nodded: "Before coming to the inn, we had a meal at a restaurant on the street. My husband drank some wine and sweated at night. He was not feeling well, so he went to bed early."

"What about you?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then replied, "We ate together, but we didn't drink. We didn't eat anything at the inn."

The waiter behind Manager Liu couldn't sit still and quietly poked his head out: "Master! This is really none of our business. Our inn and the adjacent Yingchun Restaurant are both owned by the manager. We serve the dishes directly to the guests. We can't do anything bad with the food and drinks!"

When Feng Haobo heard this, he snorted, "I told you it was a shady shop!"

If the occasion had not been inappropriate, Ni Yangzhou would have been amused by Feng Haobo's cleverness in complaining about whoever he caught.

Ni Yangzhou went to the waiter's room and then went to the room where Taoist Wang lived.

Feng Haobo followed and turned around with his sword in hand, looking confused, but his expression couldn't be wrong, he looked as if he was thinking about something.

Zhong Peng followed behind the whole process and was completely confused.

Back on the first floor of the inn, Ni Yangzhou asked the waiter to make a pot of tea.

The front building and backyard of the inn were shrouded in a barrier, and the well for drawing water was right behind the building. Xiao Er was nimble and brought a pot of herbal tea to Ni Yangzhou.

Feng Haobo started to attack again: "Drinking tea can break the barrier?"

Ni Yangzhou made a cup and handed it over: "It can calm your mind."

After saying that, he motioned for the other party to take the tea. Feng Haobo's expression twisted. He took the tea and put it on the table beside him without drinking it.

The two business brothers next to them swallowed their saliva. Ni Yangzhou ignored the smell and poured tea for them: "Come and have some. You've been busy all morning and you must be thirsty."

The two brothers gratefully took the teacups and drank them all in one gulp.

The young man poured cup after cup without saying a word. Shopkeeper Liu watched Ni Yangzhou's actions, brewed a pot of tea and brought it over, serving a cup of tea to everyone.

Everyone had been busy for the whole morning and had not eaten or drunk anything. Except Feng Haobo, everyone drank the tea. The kneeling mortal wife also touched her lips with it. She was really tired from crying.

The waiter drank a glass of wine and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Ni Yangzhou sat on a chair, picked up the teacup, and handed it to Lin Chunshui: "Drink it, it will quench your thirst."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the tea clean.

Lin Chunshui took the teacup, retracted his hand, and finally drank the tea.

Feng Haobo subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what the problem was. He just sat there, holding the cup tightly in his hands, not moving at all.

Ni Yangzhou looked at him and smiled without saying anything. The smell at the tip of his nose became stronger and stronger.

That is the fishy smell that can only be smelled among the fish, shrimps and water plants in the water.

The air seemed to grow cooler.

Suddenly, the mortal wife pinched her throat, and after a moment she suddenly fell down softly, with her eyes closed, her hands groping everywhere, and suddenly began to take off her clothes!

Feng Haobo looked over in horror, only to see the young man pulling off one of her husband's belts and tying her up tightly in a few seconds. The woman was exhausted and couldn't get herself off. She just struggled in vain but made no sound the whole time. The woman was like a boneless soft worm, and gradually became silent.

Feng Haobo was shocked and jumped up, holding the sword tightly in his hand and yelling: "You are such a thief! You put poison in the tea!"

Ni Yangzhou looked back without explaining. Feng Haobo felt a chill in his heart when he saw that pair of clear eyes. He looked around to try to find an ally, but it was no use, because there were no normal people around!

With a "bang" sound like thunder in the water, the waiter fell to the ground. He had already stripped himself naked and was wriggling on the floor. He slapped his legs hard with such force that the floor made a banging sound.

The two merchant brothers were also as naked as two hairy centipedes, with their clothes scattered on the ground and their eyes closed. They lay on the ground like cricket pupae, as if no one was around. Feng Haobo was frightened and retreated more than ten steps in fear, leaning his back against the wall.

"Everyone is crazy! Are you crazy!?"

Ni Yangzhou felt that every breath was very difficult, and the scene in front of him was shaking and seemed to be flickering, but at least he could still maintain some clarity.

Zhong Peng and Lin Chunshui were not so lucky. Although they did not faint directly, they were confused and could hardly see anything clearly. They felt extremely thirsty and it felt like their chests were on fire every time they breathed. They just wanted to jump into the water and have a good swim.

Shopkeeper Liu held onto the table and was able to open his mouth. His mouth slowly opened under his mustache and he said hesitantly:

“…I am a fish?”
