Chapter 60: The Spread of Calamity II

"Master Kui, do you want to set fire to Old Toad Alley?" Li Yongqi said slightly nervously.

Li Kui put his hands behind his back and said, "What are you in a hurry for?"

Li Yongqi looked around and lowered his voice and said, "My subordinates heard that today both Honey Locust Alley and Wutou Alley were burned down. Before the tragedy, some people heard cries of unknown origin."

Sun Kewen continued: "Yes, only by burning it can we drive away ghosts!"

Li Queluomo said: "No hurry, you collect the body first, I will go and inspect it."

After that, he walked out of Chen An's house and wandered around Old Toad Lane, walking back and forth twice.

As a result, nothing was found!

"There is nothing unclean in the whole alley." Li Kui was puzzled for a while and returned to Chen An's house.

At this time, the bodies of Chen An's family of three had been moved to the yard and covered with white cloth.

"I'm going to keep vigil here tonight."

Li Kui decided to try the old method to see if this harmful ghost dared to escape.

"Okay, we will accompany you!" Li Yongqi said.

"Master Kui is an expert and bold man, so we can't give in, right?" Sun Kewen also laughed.

After what happened last time, they were completely convinced by Li Kui and had the courage to accompany Li Kui to wait for the ghost.







The night passed quickly.

Li Kui yawned and walked out of Chen An's house.

"What's going on? Nothing happened?" Li Yongqi stretched himself and asked with a confused look on his face.

"Yeah, it's no big deal."

"I thought I was going to fight against the devil for 300 rounds tonight, but I ended up taking off my pants, and that's it?"

"Fuck, your pants must have been scared off."

Everyone talked a lot and even made jokes.

Li Kui waved his hand and said, "Eat breakfast first and then talk about it when we get back."

The group had breakfast on the street and then returned to Santangkou.

When they arrived at the gate of the other courtyard, the maid Xiao Bihuan reported: "Master Kui, Zhao Tongli sent someone over just now to summon you to a meeting."

"Meeting again?"

Li Kui raised his eyebrows and turned to go to the meeting hall.

From a distance, I heard the sound of quarreling coming from the meeting hall.

Li Kui walked in, and when he glanced around, he saw Lu Dabo and Luo Jing. They were quarreling red-faced, yelling at each other, and spitting.

These people were not particularly fond of Li Kui and had no respect for him. Therefore, after Li Kui entered, he was completely ignored and the quarrel continued.

Li Kui walked to his seat and sat down.

"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing."

After a while, Zhao Tongli frowned and pressed his hands, "What's the use of arguing? Can it solve the current crisis?"

Only then did Lu Dabo and Luo Jing stop.

Zhao Tongli suddenly turned to Li Kui and said seriously: "Master Kui, I heard that something happened in Old Toad Alley?"

Li Kui's mind was moved. Something happened on his territory, and he hadn't made any report yet. Zhao Tongli actually knew about it?

"Something happened."

Li Kui said simply and calmly.

"Sure enough, there's crying again!"

Zhao Tongli sighed, with a solemn expression, "Last night, in addition to Old Toad Alley, there were also incidents in two other alleys. Cries were heard first, and then people died."

Luo Jing looked at Li Kui and asked, "Is Old Toad Alley burned down?"

Li Kui: "No."

Luo Jing was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "Why don't you burn it? What are you waiting for?"

Everyone looked at Li Kui.

Li Kui said calmly: "Last night, I stayed in Old Toad Alley all night, and I didn't hear any cries, and no new tragedy happened. No matter what the thing that harmed people was, it should have left Old Toad Alley."

As soon as these words came out!

"You, you stayed all night in Old Toad Alley?!"

Everyone was moved, and they asked themselves that they would not dare to do such a risky thing.

Zhao Tongli's expression changed, and he praised loudly: "As expected of Mr. Kui, his courage is astonishing, and he is truly a role model for our generation."

"Excessive praise."

Li Kui cupped his hands casually and said, "I don't have many capable people under my command. If something happens, I can only step forward on my own."

This sentence made everyone feel ashamed.

The three hall masters once wanted to send their men to serve Li Kui.

However, this matter was ultimately unsuccessful.

First, there was secret pressure on Lei;

Secondly, they did not want to harm themselves or others, so it only strengthened Li Kui's power, which did not do them any good.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Zhao Tongli quickly changed the topic and sighed: "Before the third hall master left, he handed over the entrance of the third hall to me. With the heavy responsibility on my shoulders, I have been trembling and thinking very hard.

Alas, I didn’t expect that God would not go as planned. Five streets had accidents in two days, four of which had been burned down. I cannot absolve myself of the blame for such a heavy loss!"

Everyone was silent.

Zhao Tongli's eye circles were darkened, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were even strands of white hair on his temples, which showed that he was really stressed these past two days.

Huang Youming saw this and said: "Such a strange thing has never been heard of. If it doesn't work, let's report it to the headquarters and ask for help."

Lu Dabo nodded and said: "Yes, yes, report to the headquarters!"

Before he finished speaking, a person ran into the door, knelt down and reported: "A moment ago, a tragedy occurred in Luoyu Lane, where a man was stabbed with a knife. One person died and five others were injured. The perpetrator bit his tongue and committed suicide after being subdued. Before the incident,

Loud cries were heard in Luoyu Alley."

Zhao Tongli's expression changed.

Falling Rain Alley is his territory!

Good guy!

The evil ghost moved to his territory and harmed people!

"Everyone, please keep an eye on your own territory. I'll go to Luoyu Lane to check the situation first." Zhao Tongli stood up and said.

Li Kui and others are doing nothing wrong.

It's evening in a blink of an eye.

From Wuliu Lane to Wuyan Lane, nothing unusual happened and everything was calm.

Even so, Li Kui still arranged for Li Yongqi and others to patrol along the street, and he himself rushed to the vicinity of Old Toad Lane to guard.

Just like that, the night passed peacefully.

However, when Li Kui took Li Yongqi and others back to Sandangkou, he was shocked to find that Sandangkou was in chaos.

"Zhao Tongli, he was seriously injured!"

"The Medicine Refining Hall is urgently rescuing Zhao Tongli!"

After asking around, I learned the bad news.

The person who caused the accident this time was actually Zhao Tongli!

Li Kui quickly came to the medicine refining hall and met Huang Youming and others at the door. They all looked anxious and paced back and forth.

"What's going on?" Li Kui stepped forward and asked.

Huang Youming sighed and replied: "Brother Zhao is considered useless this time, his eyes were gouged out."

Li Kui took a breath: "Who did it?"

Huang Youming: “He dug it himself!”

"Did you dig it yourself?!" Li Kui's face couldn't help but change, and the terrifying scene of Zhao Tongli reaching out his fingers and forcefully gouging out his eyeballs from Shenjin's eye sockets appeared in his mind.

Lu Dabo said slowly: "Yesterday, Lao Zhao went to Luoyu Lane, and then he decided to spend the night there."

Speaking of this, Lu Dabo couldn't help but look at Li Kui one more time.

Obviously, Zhao Tongli was learning from Li Kui and planned to stay overnight to see the situation.

However, it is not difficult to understand why Zhao Tongli made such a decision.

On his territory, three streets and alleys had been destroyed by Xiang Lei before. If Luoyu Lane was also burned down, he would really be overwhelmed.

Promotion to deputy hall leader also depends on performance, and one must have outstanding results.

With his current critical situation, his chances of being promoted to deputy hall leader are slim.

For this reason, Zhao Tongli did not want to burn down Luoyu Lane, so he chose to follow Li Kui's example and keep vigil.
