Chapter 587 There is a portrait(2/3)
Wang Shuai speeded up his pace, hoping to find a doctor as soon as possible to treat Liu Long.
Liu Long did not wait for the old doctor to arrive in the end. After a few painful howls, he finally died.
Liu Long's room was filled with a breath of death.
Wang Shuai and the doctor arrived in a hurry, but it was too late.
"Boss...he has gone..." Wang Shuai said in pain.
The doctor shook his head silently and said softly: "I'm one step late, so let's mourn."
Then turn around and leave.
Wang Shuai stood there blankly, tears slid down his cheeks.
"I must tell the other brothers about this." Wang Shuai said to himself.
He walked out of the room slowly, his steps heavy and difficult.
Wang Shuai summoned the other brothers.
"Brothers, Boss Liu Long... He has passed away." Wang Shuai's voice was filled with endless grief.
When everyone heard this, they looked shocked and sad.
"What's going on?" someone asked.
Wang Shuai told them what happened.
"It seems that all this is indeed related to killing the old god." A burly man broke the silence, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"Oh, what's the use of talking about these now?" Another person sighed, his eyes revealing despair.
"The boss is dead, we must face the reality." The third person said, with deep sadness on his face.
"What should we do now?" someone asked.
The room fell into silence again, and everyone fell into deep thought, as if looking for a glimmer of hope in the darkness.
"Now that the boss is dead, our previous plans cannot be realized." One person said helplessly.
"Yes, I can only give up the matter of killing Liu Xie and Xi Yu." Another person sighed and responded.
"But the boss is our brother after all, and we want to be buried." Another person said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They discussed the burial of Liu Long.
In the end, they decided to bury Liu Long on a small hill outside the city.
On the other side, the cellar was filled with a damp atmosphere, and the dim lights swayed, giving people a gloomy feeling.
Jia Xu curled up in the corner, his face pale and trembling all over.
Lei Tiangui slowly walked into the cellar, and his footsteps echoed in the silence.
"Jia Xu, come with me." Lei Tiangui's voice was cold and ruthless.
Jia Xu raised his head, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
"Are you here to let me go?"
Lei Tiangui sneered.
"Don't be foolish, you can't escape."
They came to where they first arrived.
A woman sitting on a chair.
Jia Xu recognized that she was the woman she had seen last time.
The woman's eyes were cold.
A fear surged in Jia Xu's heart.
Jia Xu stared at the woman with horror, and asked in a trembling voice: "What do you mean? Why did you get me here?"
The woman's mouth raised slightly, showing a strange smile.
Her voice was cold and low, and she replied, "I am a witch."
Jia Xu's body involuntarily took a step back and leaned against the cold wall.
At this time, the only oil lamp in the cellar flashed with a faint light, illuminating the woman's figure to the point of being light and dark, adding a bit of terrifying atmosphere.
"What do you... want to do to me?" Jia Xu's voice was filled with fear.
A trace of cunning flashed in the woman's eyes. She slowly approached Jia Xu and said softly: "Your blood is of great use to me."
The woman giggled, her voice echoing in the air like a ghost.
"Yes, I am a witch. I need to suck other people's blood to enhance my magic. And the blood of a resentful and talented person like you will be more helpful to me." A greedy light flashed in the woman's eyes.
Jia Xu felt his heart beating faster, and his body trembled involuntarily.
He looked at the witch in horror again.
Suddenly, he saw the witch's face full of hideousness, and his distorted face made him feel disgusted.
"You...you can't do this!" Jia Xu's voice was hopeless.
The witch giggled again, the laughter was creepy.
Jia Xu begged: "Please, let me go!" However, his begging for mercy was useless.
The witch nodded at Lei Tiangui.
Lei Tiangui immediately walked to Jia Xu with heavy steps.
His fist fell like an iron hammer and accurately hit Jia Xu in the head.
Jia Xu had no time to let out a muffled groan and fainted on the ground.
Lei Tiangui quickly brought a big basin and placed it on Jia Xu's forehead.
The woman squatted down and her cold hands gently placed on Jia Xu's forehead.
Jia Xu's blood flowed out along his forehead and gathered in the basin.
After a while, the basin was filled with blood.
The woman picked up the basin without hesitation and drank the blood in one go.
A strange and satisfied smile appeared on her face.
The smile seemed particularly hideous under the dim light.
The candlelight swayed, as if adding a weird color to this terrifying scene.
Lei Tiangui smiled flatteringly and said to the witch: "Congratulations, his skills have been improved one more level."
The witch's husky voice echoed in the air.
"Thank you for getting Jia Xu. If there are any similar people, you must get them for me."
Lei Tiangui nodded repeatedly and replied: "Don't worry, as long as there is such a person, I will definitely get it for you."
On a sunny day, County Magistrate Wang Liang hurried to Xi Yu's residence.
He was full of guilt and knelt down with a "plop", his head lowered, his voice with annoyance.
"Prime Minister, I have not found any trace of Jia Xu until now, let alone the mastermind behind the scenes. Please punish me, I am willing to resign from office and not do it."
Xi Yu sat on the chair with his brows slightly frowned. He stared at Wang Liang with reproach in his eyes.
He tapped the table with his right hand and said in a deep voice: "How can you be so negative? You can't give up when you encounter difficulties. You'd better find a way to inquire."
Wang Liang lowered his head, his hands trembled slightly, and his lips tightly pursed, showing his inner uneasiness.
After listening to Xi Yu's words, he stood up silently, looked lonely, turned around slowly, and left sadly.
After Wang Liang returned to the county government office, he looked serious.
He looked around the yamen runners around him and said in a deep voice: "Now the Prime Minister thinks that the matter is related to Liu Long. So no matter what, we must find Liu Long."
The light in the lobby was a little dim, and the yamen runners looked painful on their faces.
A yamen runner muttered, "The world is so big, where can we go to find Liu Long?"
Wang Liang frowned and raised his voice and said, "The Prime Minister has also issued an announcement to the whole country. Other places will definitely help find it. But the matter was made in our Youzhou, and we must find it first, otherwise our Youzhou County Office will lose face."
The yamen runners looked at each other helplessly, and finally had to agree in unison: "Yes, sir!"
After two yamen runners walked out of the county yamen, they stood on the bustling streets, paying attention to the movements around them and muttered quietly.
"This task is too difficult to complete, and the county magistrate is too real. Why should I be so serious? Just just treat the prime minister perfunctorily." A yamen runner curled his lips and said.
Another yamen runner nodded and echoed: "That's right, he took it seriously."
The other yamen runners also agreed and decided secretly in their hearts that they just acted as routine and didn't have to be too serious.
However, they never expected that the county magistrate Wang Liang was walking out of a corner at this time.
