Chapter 62: The incident
When the reminder sounded...

Zhou You covered his lower abdomen, and an intense feeling of hunger rose up like a flame, sweeping through his internal organs.

A severe colic came over him, and he subconsciously opened his mouth and swallowed hard.

In the blink of an eye, the human skin on the ground disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pool of blood.

The next moment, Zhou You's palm was violently torn apart, and a human face appeared.

The eyes of this face are closed, but the shrunken features are lifelike, as if they would open their eyes and wake up at any time.

Zhou You instantly understood how to use this face, "Virtual face, change it for me."

The next moment, the flesh in the palm of his hand squirmed in severe pain, and his facial features changed slightly.

Finally, the face opened its eyes, and it turned out to be... Lu Zhigang who died at the hands of Zhou You.

Zhou You looked into those lifeless eyes and laughed, "Great, great, great. Very great."

He wiped his face with his palm, and his skin and bones crackled. In the blink of an eye, his height, skin color, and even hair and eyebrows became that of another person.

Zhou You was no longer there, and instead there was... Lu Zhigang.

"Interesting, interesting. After killing the ghost, a treasure chest will be dropped. It's so interesting!"

'Lu Zhigang' spoke, and his voice was the same as his original.

The Void Mask is a magic weapon that is integrated into the flesh and blood. It can change the appearance of the flesh and blood and completely transform a person into another identity.

Zhou You initially thought it was just a simple mask, but after experiencing it personally he discovered that everything from appearance to voice had been completely changed.

Even when Lu Zhigang's closest relatives and friends met face to face, they could only tell that something was wrong, but they could not find any flaws.

Because the flesh and blood magic weapon from Xu Mei contained the power of creation, which truly turned Zhou You into Lu Zhigang.

"This virtual face is truly evil. It must be someone I killed myself in order to transform into it."

Zhou You understood the rules of using the virtual face and couldn't help but shook his head.

He turned around and swung his fist, his sharp claws tearing through the air, making a piercing scream.

The Goose Flying Fist, the authentic Goose Flying Fist, has layers of strength and is full of fire.

With Lu Zhigang's appearance and the use of this set of Goose-shaped boxing, who would dare to doubt that he is not Lu Zhigang?
Zhou You laughed out loud. With this second identity, things would become much easier for him in the future.

At least, he no longer has to do his job under the cover of darkness and conceal his identity like he did last time when he killed Tu Lao San.

"Hululu!"

Suddenly, the voice of Old Man Zhou next door stopped, and then the sound of Mother's mumbling was heard.

Oh no, Dad has to get up to go to the bathroom, and I can’t make any noise and wake him up.

Zhou You sat back on the bed, looking at the messy scene, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This will take until dawn, right?

At dawn, Zhou You was awakened by the noise outside in a daze.

His entire body was sore and numb, a sequelae of strenuous activity, and his waist almost felt broken in pain.

The damaged items in the house, along with the dirty blood of the virtual ghost, were packed up and thrown into the dry well of Tianjingfang. After a night of tossing and turning, it was almost dawn when I returned home.

"You'er, get up quickly. Something happened at Mou Laoyao's house next door."

Zhou You got up lazily and put on his clothes. Of course he knew something had happened. No one knew the situation better than him.

However, what child would not play dumb in front of his parents?
"What happened? Did his wife run away overnight?"

Zhou You walked out of the room and found his father was also at home, "Dad, you didn't go to work?"

"There's a murder case next door."

Father Zhou pulled Mother and Zhou You and said, "Step back. Don't get contaminated by unclean things."

The government officials have arrived. It is Constable Liu, the lover of Widow Li. He is holding his sword at his waist and saying something to a few people with a smile.

"City gate guard!"

Zhou You recognized at a glance that those people were dressed as city gate guards.

A group of people surrounded the door of Mou Laoyao, and suddenly the old man's crying and shouting was heard.

"My son and my wife are all dead, all dead."

It was Mou Laoyao's voice. The old guy was lucky enough not to die.

The neighbors were crowded around, whispering to each other and talking secretly.

"I heard that his new daughter-in-law is a robber. Last night in the bridal chamber, she pulled out a knife from under her red skirt and killed Mou Xiaoli."

"Mou Xiaoli's mother was not able to escape either. Her head was chopped off by a knife. It was so tragic."

"I said you shouldn't be greedy for cheap things. When you marry a wife, you should find one near home so you know her well. Look at the refugees that Mou Lao Mo found. You can't be sure that they are the wives of some mountain tyrants in disguise."

How come Mou Laoya is okay?

He still had a few bags of wedding eggs that he hadn't given away last night. He didn't want to waste them, so he took the eggs and visited several distant relatives at night. He knocked on every door and exchanged the eggs for some red envelopes.

He returned home with a full load after daybreak. He knocked on the door but no one answered. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

"I saw that my son and my wife were both dead. They had been ripped out of their hearts and souls. It was so tragic."

"This must have been done by the mountain bandits. Those mountain kings like to use human hearts as bait."

The neighbors became more and more excited as they talked, exchanging information with each other, completely ignoring the fact that Mou Laoyao's crying was getting louder and louder.

"Stop crying, the master wants you to come over for questioning!"

Constable Liu stepped forward and slapped Mou Laoyao in the face. The old man held back his tears and dared not cry.

He was dragged in front of the guards at the city gate and answered every question he was asked, not daring to stop. Constable Liu stood by and watched him closely, ready to slap him in the face if he made any mistake.

After questioning, the city gate guards handed over the matter to Constable Liu and left one after another.

Constables carried out two corpses one after another. The white cloth was covered with foul blood, emitting a stench that no one could avoid.

The neighbors were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they turned back to avoid the scene.

"Sir, the person is dead, and there is no explanation?"

Mou Laoyao burst into tears and grabbed the corner of Constable Liu's clothes and begged.

In response, the scabbard hit him in the face, and Mou Laoya staggered and fell to the ground, with blood on his forehead, mouth and nose.

"What is your status, sir? It's a blessing to ask you questions. Do you still want an explanation?"

Constable Liu kicked Mou Laoya to the ground, flicked his clothes in disgust, turned around and saw Zhou You standing not far away, and immediately put on a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, did you sleep well last night?"

"It was very noisy in the first half of the night, with wild dogs making a lot of noise, but then the noise gradually died down, and everyone was so annoyed that they fell into a deep sleep." Zhou You asked in return, "What happened? I heard it was a robbery that robbed people and killed them."

"The city gate guards have concluded that the robbers broke into the house and tried to steal money and kill people."

There is a lot of meaning in Constable Liu's words, which convey two messages.

First, this matter is not his responsibility, but the responsibility of the city gate guard.

Second, murder for money is an excuse to cover up the truth of the murder.

Zhou You understood clearly that the government had most likely already found out that this matter was caused by an illusory ghost.

However, in order not to cause panic among residents, the final conclusion was that the murder was committed by robbers.
