Chapter 613 Where is the Evidence?
Mo Caiwei closed the doors and windows after only a moment's hesitation.
The windows of Jiu Ming's house had iron plates added to the outside of the glass panes. When the iron plates were lowered, the entire house became airtight. We were essentially locking ourselves in a sealed room.
While I kept pouring wine into my mouth, the sound of fighting had already erupted in Paper Doll Village. Arrows flew, and the shrill scream of blades cutting through the air came from all directions. Cries of agony rose and fell throughout the village.
From the constant screams, one could tell that countless villagers were being brutally skinned.
The Skinner seemed to want to use this method to force out the hidden experts.
The experts of Paper Doll Village did not appear, but Jiu Ming was pacing anxiously. "Li Po, didn't you say you could command the village to resist ghosts and gods? What are you doing?"
"I'll let you drink!" Jiu Ci shouted a few times, and seeing that I was only focused on drinking, she pointed at the wine jar.
The wine jar I was holding in the air shattered on the spot, and the remaining wine spilled on the ground. I threw away the broken jar and looked at Jiu Ci with cold eyes. "This time, I won't argue with you. If you dare touch my wine again, I'll take your life!"
Jiu Ci was forced back a few steps by the killing intent in my eyes. I reached down and picked up another jar of wine, opened the seal, and poured it into my mouth.
Jiu Ci was stunned for a long time before erupting again. "Mo Caiwei, is this the person you brought? What can he do besides drink? Did you hire him just to drink?"
Mo Caiwei hesitated for a moment before cautiously saying, "Li Po, the fighting has already started outside. You... you like this, isn't it not very good?"
I laughed, "Mo Caiwei, haven't you seen it yet? Whether I command the village or not doesn't matter. Besides, Paper Doll Village doesn't intend to let the three of us leave alive."
Before Mo Caiwei could speak, Jiu Ci exclaimed, "Did you drink yourself silly? What nonsense are you talking about!"
While I was drinking, I said, "This table of dishes is actually Jiu Ming's farewell dinner for us. Do you two want to come and have a drink?"
Mo Caiwei couldn't help but say, "Li Po, I can't believe your words. Please explain yourself clearly."
I pointed to the entrance of the secret room. "Do you really think the three dead people below are the sealed ghosts and gods? You're mistaken. The real ghosts and gods left long ago."
"To be precise, we've already met the three ghosts and gods."
I said in a deep voice, "Village Chief Jiu Ming, your master, and the village elder standing behind the village chief are actually the three ghosts and gods. They have already taken over Paper Doll Village. Haven't you noticed?"
"Bullshit!" Jiu Ci came up to snatch my wine jar.
I backhanded her wrist away. "What you can't see, I may not be able to see."
I raised my hand and gently tapped around my eyes. "My Ghost Eye Secret Technique can see the aura on ghosts and gods. Their auras are connected."
"Mo Caiwei hasn't returned to Paper Doll Village for many years. Jiu Ci, haven't you noticed anything wrong in the village?"
"Shut your mouth!" Jiu Ci shouted sharply, "Li Po, Paper Doll Village invited you to help them slay the gods and even handed over the village's initiative to you. Not only are you unwilling to help, but you're also here stirring up trouble. What are your intentions?"
I glanced at Jiu Ci and turned my head to continue drinking.
Mo Caiwei, however, appeared unusually calm at this moment. "Jiu Ci, I think Li Po is right!"
Jiu Ci directly pulled out a hollow copper tube and aimed it at Mo Caiwei. "I knew it. You're the culprit who brought the wolf into the house."
Mo Caiwei shook her head. "Jiu Ci, I know you've never considered me one of the villagers. But think carefully, what changes have occurred in the village since the village chief went into seclusion?"
"Think carefully again. Is the death of the Third Village Elder suspicious? Why did the lineage of the Third Village Elder die strangely after his death?"
"You haven't touched the corpses of their families, but I participated in the encoffining! They didn't die normally. The Third Village Elder was bled to death. I can see such a simple thing. Wouldn't my master be able to see it?"
Jiu Ci said sternly, "You ungrateful wretch! Seventh Uncle has been so good to you, treating you like his own daughter, and you're still slandering him!"
"I'm not slandering Master!" Mo Caiwei was also flushed with anger. "I really discovered a problem."
Jiu Ci gritted her teeth. "Evidence? Without evidence, you're just slandering."
Jiu Ci grew up in Paper Doll Village. Suddenly, someone told her that your grandfather, your teacher, wanted to harm you. No one could accept that.
Mo Caiwei, however, had experienced escaping death at a very young age. Suspicion was her instinct and the means by which she had survived to this day.
This was the difference between someone who had never been in the martial world and someone who was.
Just as Mo Caiwei was about to speak, I said faintly, "The evidence has already arrived. It's behind that door!"
Jiu Ci subconsciously followed my hand and looked towards the secret door of the secret room.
