At dusk, the sunset glowed the sky red.
In the backyard of Huichun Hall, rows of bamboo poles are hung with white sheets.
A gust of wind blew, and the sheets danced in the wind, rustling.
Seven or eight white figures, like ghosts, moved silently between the rippling sheets and suddenly arrived in front of a row of wards.
The masked leader had sharp eyes. After locking onto the third ward, he made a gesture.
The two men in white understood and pulled down their goggles and put them over their eyes.
Bang!
Two black glare bullets broke through the window, making a dull explosion.
In a dazzling light, two men in white rushed in, and two rapiers, as fast as lightning, pierced into the collarbone of a patient.
The patient, wrapped in gauze, was nailed to the bed, tears in his eyes, and he roared like a trapped beast.
Bang!
Another patient broke through the roof and flew into the sky. After tearing the gauze on his body apart, he fled in panic into the distance.
Torn pieces of cloth were flying all over the sky. The masked man standing in the courtyard smiled coldly and stretched his big hand toward the sky.
His arm swelled up and bounced out like a spring.
The palm rapidly expanded in the air, like a huge banana leaf.
With a whoosh, the giant palm grabbed the fleeing patient and threw him to the ground.
boom!
The patient fell to the ground with a loud bang, creating a one-meter-deep hole in the ground.
In the noisy smoke and dust, the patient's body suddenly turned over, his body was covered with black scales, a thick tail emerged from his coccyx, his hands turned into sharp claws, and blade-like nails popped out.
The transformed lizardman had a triangular head with fierce eyes and a forked, flame-like tongue coming out of his mouth.
As if realizing that it couldn't escape, it roared suddenly and pounced on the masked man.
It's you!
There was a fierce murderous intent in Liu Zimeng's eyes. The bodies of his dead brothers and the dismembered body of Xiao Liuzi all retained the breath of the Lizardmen.
puff!
The lizard man's sharp nails instantly pierced through Liu Zimeng's palm.
Blood splattered.
Liu Zimeng flipped his hand, grabbed the lizard man's claws, and clenched his other hand into a fist, hitting the lizard man's head with a loud bang.
Boom, boom, boom!
After three iron punches, the lizard man's head was deformed and its sharp teeth were shattered to the ground.
Boom, boom, boom!
Three more iron punches, and the lizard man's body sank deeply into the ground, leaving only his tail exposed, swinging violently.
Liu Zimeng casually pulled off a bed sheet, tore off a piece and wrapped it around his hands, and used the remaining sheets to cover the lizard man's body.
The patients in the courtyard had been alarmed and many of them ran out.
A man in white was floating in the air, holding a dragon-patterned token in his hand, and pushed it forward: "The Hidden Dragon Pavilion is investigating a case. Everyone return to your rooms and are not allowed to walk around at will!"
Hidden Dragon Pavilion? !
The patients' faces suddenly changed and they hurried back to their respective wards, closing the doors tightly.
As one of the most mysterious organizations in the Great Xia Dynasty, everyone in the Hidden Dragon Pavilion had only heard of it but had never seen it in person.
Whenever the Hidden Dragon Pavilion takes action, it must be a major case concerning the safety of the empire. They would be desperate to avoid it, so how could they dare to take the initiative to move forward?
Two men in white tied up the lizard man who was stuck on the ground, and took the demon warrior who was nailed to the bed to a carriage at the back door and left quickly.
The man in white who was floating in the air flew down and came to Liu Zimeng's side, and said with a wry smile: "It's dark under the lamp. Who could have thought that two demon warriors were hiding in the hospital where the defenders were recuperating and living with the wounded soldiers defending the city."
Liu Zimeng's face was gloomy. If it weren't for Doctor Liu's confession, they would never have thought of this.
It's such a shame!
After the room was cleaned, Liu Zimeng strode in.
A large pit was dug out on the ground under the bed, and the packages taken out contained gold, silver, jewelry and various weapons.
There is nothing else besides this.
Liu Zimeng searched around and his eyes suddenly locked on a bamboo bed.
He walked forward, pulled out the bamboos one by one, and crushed them.
After a while he poured out a roll of drawings from a bamboo tube.
After opening the drawings, Liu Zimeng's face turned extremely ugly.
Meishan topographic map!
Building distribution map of Haotian Academy!
On the detailed drawings, even the entrance to the secret realm of the academy was narrowed down to a limited area.
If there is no traitor in the academy, Liu Zimeng would rather dig out his own eyeballs and use them as bubbles to step on!
Liu Zimeng was very upset. They closed the net too early.
If we keep an eye on them for a while longer, maybe we can figure out what these bastards are planning, and even catch the demon clan lurking in the academy.
No matter what, he must report this matter to the headmaster immediately.
The finishing work was left to the man in white. Liu Zimeng hurried away with the drawings and returned to Meishan as soon as possible.
In the small fenced courtyard at the back of Meishan Mountain, Wu Jiutian was flipping through the blueprints, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.
After a while, he took off his glasses and asked seriously, "Are there any suspects?"
Liu Zimeng looked ashamed and said, "It was my fault for being negligent. I never thought that the evil hands of the demon clan would reach into the academy."
That was it. There was no hope. Disappointment flashed in Wu Jiutian's eyes.
He pondered for a moment before saying to Liu Zimeng, "Zimeng, there is one thing I have never told you. In fact, not many people in the entire academy know about it. Next month, His Royal Highness the King of Shu will come to Meicheng to reward the defenders and will visit the academy."
His Royal Highness the King of Shu? !
Liu Zimeng was surprised and shuddered suddenly.
His face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice: "What the dean means is that the demon tribe wanted to assassinate the King of Shu, and they wanted to do it when he was visiting the academy?!"
Wu Jiutian looked worried: "I hope I'm overthinking it, otherwise, things will only get more troublesome."
Liu Zimeng broke out in a cold sweat and nodded in agreement.
His Royal Highness the King of Shu is coming to Meicheng and to the academy. Even he is unaware of such a secret matter, so how did the spies from the demon clan know about it?
