Chapter 354 Blood Festival

Ning Shucheng decided not to argue with him and turned to ask Fourteen, "How are the people we sent down to investigate the national sentiment of Donglin?"

Fourteen said: "It was reported earlier that a strange bookstore appeared out of nowhere in the capital, and the books it sold were very popular in Donglin. There were rumors that the author of the book was a monster, but the people of Donglin were not afraid of it, but rather doted on it."

To what extent is she doted on? It seems that she can accept being slapped for no reason and is very worried about the pain in her hand.

Ning Shucheng: "Monster? Could it be that someone from another country has been playing tricks ahead of time?"

Fourteen: "I thought so too, so I asked them to go in and check the situation. There has been no news for three months."

Ning Shucheng's eyes became fierce, "Could it be that he was assassinated?"

Fourteen hesitated and said, "He is still alive, but he seems to be not very clear-headed and often says things that I cannot understand."

Ning Shucheng: "For example?"

Fourteenth: "The Fifth Prince shall die."

Ning Shucheng:?

What did i do wrong?

[Before and after the Lantern Festival, control in the capital was tightened, and groups of people patrolled the streets.

Every festival is always the time when the most unexpected things happen.

With so many people around, there will always be people who take advantage of the situation, and it is easier to cause chaos, creating opportunities for the real murderer to escape.

Most of the unsolved cases in the capital over the years occurred on festival nights or rainy nights.

As night falls, the streets and alleys are still bustling. Mo Zhiyu walks through the crowd, feeling this rare immersion in human life.

Hua Niang followed her, and even though the weather turned cold, she was reluctant to throw away her fan and would fan herself from time to time.

"The Lantern Festival is so lively this year. I remember something happened in the city last year, and people were so panicked that they didn't dare go out during the festival. I only put two lanterns in the flower building."

Mo Zhiyu nodded, "I've never been out before, so it's rare for me to have a day off this year."

Hua Niang looked at the Kongming lanterns in the sky and bumped into Mo Zhiyu, "I hope nothing happens tonight, otherwise your hard-earned vacation will be over again."

Mo Zhiyu covered her mouth with her hand, "Don't be such a phoenix."

There are only a few days off in a year. If she is asked to go back to work overtime, she will go to hell.

"Make way, make way, let's have fun."

A huge team came from the end of the street beating drums and gongs, and the people along the way stood excitedly on both sides of the street.

Zha Kuaihuo, also known as the Blood Fireworks, means that people are happy after eradicating the evil people who have done evil. It is usually performed in the first month of the lunar year when offering sacrifices to the community, welcoming gods at temple fairs, and praying for rain.

Mo Zhiyu and Hua Niang were squeezed in the crowd on both sides.

Her nose moved slightly, and a strong smell of blood hit her face.

"What a strong smell of blood."

Hua Niang fanned the air, frowned, and retched a little from the smell, "Do you have to be so realistic?"

Mo Zhiyu tasted the candied haws in his hand and his eyes fell on the slowly approaching Blood Society Fire.

The whole performance was very solemn and silent. The performers in costumes had exaggerated makeup on their faces, their eyes were wide open, and they held long guns in their hands, pointing them directly at the criminals.

The criminal had his eyes closed, his upper body naked, his hands tied behind his back, blood on his chest, and his face was pale, as if he was really dead.

The line was very long, and every actor who played the villain was shirtless without exception, with their heads, necks, chests, abdomens... pierced by axes, sickles, scissors, etc.

Some only have the upper body, with the lower body hidden in the box, making it look like it was cut in half.

The blood that had not yet coagulated flowed down their still chests.

An actor in costume felt something was wrong, but the people in the audience were watching and could not afford to make any mistakes.

Hua Niang looked at the topless people and couldn't help but shudder. "It's so cold, and they are still naked. How much silver should we give them? They are so hardworking."

"My lips are all frozen purple. Tsk tsk, aren't you afraid of freezing me to death?"

"What crime is this trial for? Wasn't it Wu Song who killed Ximen Qing in the previous performance?"

Mo Zhiyu watched the team move forward quietly, his eyes revealing a strange dead silence.

The team moving forward bumped into something and staggered. The actor on the stage managed to keep his balance. She breathed a sigh of relief. She almost made a fool of herself in front of everyone.

Something rolled down the sedan, one after another, like pieced-together parts falling apart.

One child didn't understand what was going on and squatted down to pick up a finger.

Tian Nai tugged at his mother's sleeve and said, "Mom, I found something that fell off the car."

When the mother looked down, she was almost frightened to death at first sight.

Then he realized that it might be a prop that fell from the car, and quickly asked the child to throw it away, "You kid, why do you always pick up unlucky things?"

When she took it in her hands, she suddenly realized how realistic this prop was. When she pinched it, it was hard, as if there were bones, and blood was slowly flowing out.

The child pulled her sleeve again and pointed to a place, "Mom, there is an arm there."

The sedan was moving forward, but its parts were falling backwards.

First the fingers, then the arms, then the thighs... and finally a head with a look of horror rolled to someone's feet.

The actor on stage soon discovered with horror that her partner was about to fall.

——The partner with half of his body and a pair of scissors stuck in his throat.

He is on the verge of collapse and doesn't even know how to help himself.

Is he asleep? ! !

He could actually fall asleep at a time like this!

The actor quickly took the gun and changed his position, trying to make some improvisational remedial gesture, trying to use the spear to steady his body, or to remind him.

However, he failed to calculate the angle, and the spear went straight into the man's body, piercing him.

This is a prop, how can it really pierce a person's body!

Moreover, even after all this, he actually didn't feel anything at all...

The actor's pupils shrank sharply, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the spear. The weapon fell heavily to the ground, and the man was taken to the other side with it.

The lower body of the man hidden in the box as she imagined was not there.

Half of his body fell to the other side, and then rolled into the crowd as the team continued to move forward.

In an instant, the crowd burst into screams of terror, and the people instantly realized that this was not an act, but someone really had died.

Moreover, it was a dismemberment case.

...

Hua Niang stood there in a daze, looking at Mo Zhiyu stiffly for a long while.

"I didn't know I was so good with words."

Mo Zhiyu turned and left. She could guess with her toes that the large force would arrive at the scene soon. If she wanted to escape, the best way was to leave quickly. Since they couldn't find her anyway, they would naturally find another coroner.

She's not the only one at the post.
