Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: A Way Out

"你真的杀了魏太监?"陈老三的脸上满是震惊,仿佛在做梦.

魏大太监,这样一位顶级高手,竟然被他只学了半个月武功的侄子,在三对三的打斗中,用砖头打死了他.如果不是亲眼目睹,他绝对不会相信.

震惊过后,只剩下恐惧.

魏大太监虽然不是一个好人,但他的身份很特殊.他是太监的事实意味着他背后的力量远远超出了他们这样的小人物所能承受的.

"他们直接来到我们家门口,处于生死攸关的境地.还有什么需要考虑的?

杀戮之后,一股虚弱的感觉在陈洛的心中涌动.他知道这是因为他之前用力过猛,发动了一场无法理智的攻击.随着紧张情绪的消退,疲惫自然而然地开始了.这很正常.魏大太监,一位训练了几十年的老练内武者,神秘地死在了陈洛的手中.他一定不愿意接受自己的死亡.但有时,事情就是这样.尤其是高手对峙时——胜负并不总是由修为决定的;这也关乎勇气.

"这很糟糕.我们现在需要逃跑.

陈老三也猛然回到现实.现在不是震惊的时候.

"天还没亮,跑得越远越好,"陈老三看了一眼院子里的尸体,立即转身回到屋里.

在箱子和抽屉里翻找后,陈老三拿着一个深绿色的瓶子走了出来.

溶尸液.

这东西对于埋葬像他们这样的尸体的人来说是一件宝藏.

"三叔,等等."

陈洛此时已经清醒过来.眼看三叔正要用尸体溶解液,立刻制止了他.然后,在陈老三疑惑的注视下,他伸手一一摸了摸三具尸体的头颅.

'联系死者的脑电波,损伤等级 12%,你想读吗?'

'联系死者的脑电波,损伤等级 7%,你想看书吗?'

'联系死者的脑电波,损伤等级 32%,你想读书吗?'

不出所料,这三具尸体才刚刚死去,所以伤害等级都非常低.只有被砖头砸死的魏太监脑部受伤,造成的伤害程度略高.另外两个的伤害水平非常低.摸到尸体后,陈洛很快就放弃了脑海中受损最严重的三个大脑,换成了这些.

一阵眩晕袭来.

陈洛只觉得自己的武功领悟得到了进一步的提升.

幸运的是,他的金手指只让他读取了死者的大脑,而不是储存他们的记忆.否则,他的脑海里储存了这么多生命,他现在可能已经疯了.

"好吧."

陈洛站起身来,对三叔说了些什么.

陈老三不在乎侄子在做什么.看到陈洛推开后,他巧妙地用刀在三具尸体上划出一道伤口,然后将溶尸水滴在他们身上.溶解尸体的水必须接触伤口才能融化.如果只应用于皮肤,则不会有任何效果.

腐蚀性液体迅速蔓延,很快就扩大了.

一阵白烟升起,骨头和血液中冒出血泡,身体一点一点地融化崩塌.眨眼间,只剩下三件衣服.尸体彻底消失了,只留下了在院子里萦绕许久的难闻恶臭.就是因为陈洛前几天总是在院子里练武,煮药,所以身边的邻居都已经习惯了那难闻的气味.否则,今晚这么大的骚动,肯定会有人来检查.

"先回屋里去,我来处理痕迹."

陈老三没有让陈洛出手.像销毁尸体和抹去证据这样的事情,最好还是交给像他这样有经验的人.

陈洛没有争论,自己回屋休息了.

处理完尸体和剩余的衣服后,陈老三巧妙地挖出一些泥土填满了这片区域,掩埋了血迹,掩盖了最后一丝气味.然后,他从床下拿出一个麻袋,将生石灰撒在填满的区域,以确保一切都完全干净.

在尸体处理商的房子里,这些是处理尸体的最常见工具.

时间一天天过去,等到陈老三收拾完的时候,已经是晚上的三更了.

The outside was silent, not even the sound of dogs barking. The night watchmen had gone back to sleep.

Creak.

The door was opened.

Chen Laosan, having washed his hands, returned to the room. He glanced back and carefully closed the door.

Chen Luo had nearly finished resting. When he saw his third uncle walk in, he got up and sat down at the table.

He felt it was time to have a serious talk with his third uncle. If it hadn't been for his sudden breakthrough today, the two of them might not have made it out alive.

"This all started half a month ago."

That was the reason Chen Laosan came in. He lowered his voice and told Chen Luo the whole story, including the discovery of the royal family member's token, as well as the checkpoint being closed off when he went out to flee during the day.

One thing after another, and Chen Luo gradually gained a general understanding of the events that had happened recently.

Of course, the information Chen Laosan had was limited. Given his position and status, he could only see the tip of the iceberg, and the deeper struggles were beyond his reach. He was simply stuck at the bottom, feeling some of the dangers vaguely, but unable to fully comprehend them.

"Based on what you've said, the county magistrate of Qingya County must be involved."

Chen Luo recalled the scene of the streets being blocked when he went to Ma Quezi's house these past few days.

According to Chen Laosan, this whole affair had started half a month ago. The royal family members secretly murdered by Grand Eunuch Wei and others must have been for a significant reason. From their actions, it seemed like they were searching for something. As the local authority, the county magistrate of Qingya County was surely involved; otherwise, this web of schemes couldn't have been spun. Thinking back to the White family, who had been implicated, Chen Luo felt more and more that Qingya County was no longer safe.

"What should we do now?"

Chen Laosan didn't know what to do either. He had never encountered something like this in all his years. If it hadn't been for his nephew's sudden outburst, he would have already been dead. The only thing he could rely on now was his talented nephew, Chen Luo.

"First, we escape. Let's focus on saving our lives."

Chen Luo also wanted to take swift revenge and kill the mastermind behind it all.

But his strength didn't allow it.

One Grand Eunuch Wei had almost killed him; if they faced someone stronger, both uncle and nephew would surely be finished.

Such a huge matter was bound to involve experts behind the scenes. Chen Luo was no longer the naïve young man he once was. While an internal martial artist might be considered a notable figure in Qingya County, there were many enemies in the provincial capital. According to Ma Quezi, martial arts followed three steps:

The first step is to gather strength through blood training, the second is to cultivate internal energy, and the third is to temper the bones and focus the mind.

At his peak, Ma Quezi was a bone-tempering expert.

But even with bone-tempering, it was not enough when facing the vast power of the imperial court. Ma Quezi had been crippled by the court. If it hadn't been for his good luck in meeting Chen Laosan, his bones would have been completely shattered by now.

"But now the outside is sealed off."

Chen Laosan was also anxious.

The sky was getting brighter, and if the uncle and nephew didn't escape before dawn, it would definitely attract the attention of those behind the scenes.

By then, the people who come will not be on the same level as the three from tonight.

It's very likely that true experts will arrive.

Chen Luo was thinking about a way out in his mind.

Forcing their way through definitely wouldn't work, but Qingya County was so large, there had to be some mountain paths that the authorities didn't know about. Just like the gap under the city wall, it was the kind of route that only those at the bottom would know.

"Third Uncle, where was the place you buried the bodies last time?"
