If it weren't for seeing such a bizarre scene with his own eyes, Jiang Duming would definitely not believe it was real.
Almost everyone on the list has died, leaving only one person. Jiang Duming decisively stationed people outside the person's private residence. It's called a private residence, but it's just a thatched cottage deep in the dilapidated alley of the city. Vaguely, Jiang Duming always felt that his own wife was involved in this series of murders, but he couldn't figure out how.
When the moon was high in the sky, the group of people on guard duty began to feel drowsy. A young and inexperienced person couldn't help but yawn, immediately drawing a deadly stare from Jiang Duming. Just then, a cold wind blew in from the ground, scattering the thatched grass even more. The sudden chill made everyone tighten their necks. The silent thatched hut suddenly emitted a black mist, followed by the sound of objects falling. After a short while, everything fell silent again, and the black mist disappeared as if nothing had happened.
Realizing that something was wrong, Jiang Duming immediately ordered his men to rush over. As soon as they broke open the door, they saw that their target had already died, with the body being gnawed by countless snakes and scorpions, all wrapped in black mist. His men used their swords to push away the poisonous creatures and carefully examined the body, only to discover that the man's tongue had been bitten off at some point, explaining why he looked so agonized but couldn't make a sound.
At this moment, no one could read Jiang Duming's expression. His eyes seemed to have just been tempered in fire. With the last person on the list dead, it meant that all the clues had been cut off, and he hadn't found any evidence to prove his speculation.
His subordinates were hesitating whether to speak, and the disappearing black mist gathered once again.
Subordinate A (surprised): "Ah! Look at this!"
Subordinate B (worried): "What is this? Where did it come from?"
Subordinate C (fearful): "Could it be poisonous!?"
As soon as they heard that the black mist might be poisonous, everyone panicked and rushed out of the house. Just as Jiang Duming was about to speak to calm everyone down, they were met with the surging black mist and a dizzying sensation.
Jiang Duming doesn't know where he is. After a moment of dizziness, he finds himself in a bustling street, but the people passing by seem not to see him. A familiar figure, his older brother Jiang Suifeng, makes him instinctively hide behind a pillar. Then, another familiar figure accidentally bumps into Jiang Suifeng - it's Liu Daiyu! The moment when the two lock eyes is quite similar to... no, it's exactly like when he first met Liu Daiyu!
Suddenly, black mist rises again, distorting the street scene, and Jiang Duming finds himself back in the backyard of the Li's family. He sees the private meeting and heartfelt confessions between Liu Daiyu and Jiang Suifeng, although he can't hear their words, the emotions in their eyes are unmistakable.
The garden scene twisted once again, Jiang Duming followed Liu Daiyu into Qin Xiang House, watching how she manipulated Qin Mama to work for her, and how she grew anxious and exhausted in her search for the missing Jiang Suifeng. Finally, she looked at a stack of messages, her face gradually turning blue with anger. Jiang Duming stepped forward and immediately saw three big words on the paper—Black Cloud Manor.
Jiang Duming: "So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"
Jiang Duming has figured it all out. Why did he happen to meet Liu Daiyu at the Lantern Festival, why did Liu Dafu initially resist the marriage proposal but then suddenly agree, why did Black Cloud Manor and The romantic history of a wretched sea. encounter trouble, and why can't he find any trace of Jiang Suifeng! Thinking of the deep love after marriage, Jiang Duming becomes increasingly anxious. For a moment, he forgets that he is in a strange place and reaches out to grab the person in front of him, Liu Daiyu. As a result, the strange place instantly turns into black mist and rushes into his body. The next moment, Jiang Duming finds himself back in the thatched cottage, with his subordinates lying in disarray at his feet.
Jiang Duming (walking out of the thatched cottage, looking at the moon, with a sinister smile): "Jiang Suifeng... Liu Daiyu..."
The Dark Mist Abyssal Serpent on the thatched roof leisurely spat out its venom, flicked its tail, and then disappeared into the night breeze.
