Chapter 646 Suspicion Removed
Chapter 646 Suspicion Removed
Chenjiabao is a human village with very concentrated buildings and a very dense population. The stone house for summer rest is not far from the cave where the escort cart is stored.
After all, it only took a short while to get here.
Although the sun was scorching, which slowed down the progress of the group, the total distance was still there, so they arrived soon.
From a distance, Lin Yu saw a man standing near the cave entrance with a confused look on his face.
Inside the carriage shed, the escort vehicle and livestock were safe and sound.
Walking forward with Yue Zhenqiao and Wu San, Lin Yu glanced at Yue Zhenqiao.
"Is this Liu Chengyang?"
"Yes, he is Liu Chengyang."
As Yue Zhenqiao spoke, he looked around, as if trying to find the deputy and the other bodyguard whom he himself could not remember.
But in the end, he still couldn't remember anything, so he had to take Wu San to confirm whether the escort car was safe.
Lin Yu ignored the escort car and entered the cave.
There are no cooling talismans in the cave, but the inside is protected from direct sunlight and there is water flowing deep inside, so the temperature is lower than outside, probably only around 40 degrees.
He looked at Liu Chengyang who was holding the bow. The other party seemed to still remember Lin Yu and nodded slightly.
"Lady...you're here too!"
Lin Yu looked at Liu Chengyang and said, "Captain Yue heard the arrows and realized something was wrong, so he rushed over. What happened?"
Lin Yu did not say directly that he had already guessed that two people were missing here.
He didn't want to directly induce the other party to come up with an answer.
Although Liu Chengyang looks ordinary, he is currently the only one who reacted to the disappearance of the people around him.
Therefore, Lin Yu wanted to see how far the other party could go.
Hearing this, Liu Chengyang said with some self-blame: "To be honest... I don't know either."
"I felt... like I was possessed. I suddenly felt something was wrong. It was like I suddenly realized that I was the only one here, and it seemed too dangerous."
"I don't know why I panicked at the time. Maybe it was because I had a bad mentality," Liu Chengyang sighed. "My kung fu isn't very good, and I always thought it was okay to rely on others. But at that time, I was scared and my mind was hot, so I fired the flare."
At this point, he hesitated and said, "But... Lady, I'm not trying to excuse myself. After I told you this, I feel more and more that there's something really weird about my archery."
"I was clearly alone at first, and nothing had happened, but suddenly I felt a sense of inexplicable terror. Could it be that some kind of demon passed by, causing my instincts and Qi to sense something was amiss, and that's why I was affected?"
The more Liu Chengyang thought about it, the more strange it seemed, and he couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yu shook his head: "No, I think it might not be a demon passing by... Can you still remember why Yue Zhenqiao arranged for you to guard here alone?"
Although Liu Chengyang didn't know why Lin Yu suddenly asked this, he nodded. "I don't think there's anything special in my memory. The escort leader asked me to go out alone... Hmm... Wait, it's really strange when you put it this way. Why did the escort leader suddenly let me watch the escort car by myself today?"
"Usually, when our escort company encounters a situation like this, we always have at least three people working together, and they have to be veterans and skilled fighters in the company..."
Thinking of this, Liu Chengyang seemed to realize that something was wrong and began to think hard.
But his expression was twisted and painful, and it seemed that he could not remember it no matter what.
Lin Yu knew that it was pointless to force the other party to think further, so he simply revealed the answer directly.
"Because you were originally assigned to guard the escort carriage with three people, and Escort Commander Yue didn't let you watch over here by yourself... Maybe some powerful demon or something strange wiped out the other two and made you forget everything."
Lin Yu said calmly.
Liu Chengyang looked at Lin Yu: "How...is this possible?"
"A demon killed two of my colleagues in an instant and wiped my memory?!"
"They may not have been killed, they may have just been kidnapped," Lin Yu corrected him. "Although it sounds incredible, this should be the truth - your escort leader Yue's memory has also been modified, but I still remember this arrangement, and... one of them is your deputy escort leader!"
"Deputy escort leader?" Liu Chengyang asked in surprise, "We... do we have a deputy escort leader?"
He asked in disbelief, his expression extremely confused.
Afterwards, Liu Chengyang hesitated for a moment and seemed to have thought of a possibility.
He looked at Lin Yu with a somewhat wary expression.
"Lady, what you said is too unbelievable," Liu Chengyang put down his short bow and drew his sword. "I have to be wary of the possibility that you are a demon in disguise... I'm sorry."
After all, compared to believing what Lin Yu said... for Liu Chengyang, the possibility that Lin Yu was a demon that suddenly appeared was more reasonable.
After all, he had not been with Lin Yu all the time, so he could not trust Lin Yu naturally like Yue Zhenqiao.
"Your escort leader is over there," Lin Yu said calmly when he saw the other party draw his sword. "Even if you don't trust me, you can at least trust your escort leader. You should have a method or code to distinguish whether someone is a demon or not, right?"
Liu Chengyang looked at Yue Zhenqiao, who was checking the escort vehicles and livestock in the carriage shed not far away. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Yes, I will confirm it with the escort leader when he comes over, but..."
"Ding!"
In a flash, Liu Chengyang saw a flash of white flames, and an uncontrollable fear rose in his heart.
In the moment he panicked with fear, the knife in his hand was knocked away!
"bass!"
The knife flew out at an angle and fell to the ground in the cave with a clang.
When Liu Chengyang came to his senses again, he saw that the female warrior opposite him was holding a short stick that looked like a torch, with the tip of the stick firmly stopped just millimeters in front of his face.
Lin Yu said calmly, "Captain Yue, it will take a while. I don't like you pointing a knife at me... Anyway, this is my way of proving myself before we exchange the secret code."
"Although it's unreliable, I think there's some truth to it... You can listen to this—if I were a demon, I wouldn't need to disguise myself to kill you."
Liu Chengyang lowered his head and looked at his right hand, which was numb from the shock and cracked at the base of the palm. Recalling the speed and force just now, he had to admit it.
What the heroine in front of me said does make sense.
"I'm sorry for being so abrupt," Liu Chengyang whispered. "Sorry!"
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Yu put away the [Torch of Fear].
After a while, Yue Zhenqiao and Wu San also finished checking all the vehicles and livestock.
"How strange, lady... Two people disappeared here, but the escort vehicle wasn't robbed!"
