Chapter 882: Chapter 430: Is She You Tan?

Outside the house, the storm raged on, and sand and gravel continuously pelted the doors and windows with crackling sounds.

The scorching air seeped in through the gaps in the doors and windows, raising the temperature inside the room significantly.

Thankfully, despite the crimson sky outside, the round moon was still clearly visible in the sky, glaring down like an enraged eyeball at this place.

During the wait, Jiang Shouzhong inspected the house.

Aside from some simple furniture, there was only a large red box placed in the corner.

The box seemed glued shut and couldn’t be opened.

Beside the box was a somewhat dried blood stain, which appeared rather eerie.

When Jiang Shouzhong placed his hand on the box, a sudden, electric-shock-like pain struck his mind.

The sensation was like an extremely sharp cone stabbing forcefully into his skull, causing his vision to black out momentarily, and he almost lost his balance.

Simultaneously, a few indistinct images involuntarily flashed through his mind.

These images appeared in a peculiar gelatinous form, as if they were old film frames.

The images shook, piecing together some figures with difficulty.

A man seemed to be lying in a pool of blood.

Soon, the images began to overlap and flash incessantly, and their speed increased, becoming overwhelmingly dazzling.

At times, it flashed a woman’s blood-stained face, her eyes filled with an unfathomable complexity. At times, it showed a man collapsed on the ground, at other times, the woman standing behind the man, holding a murder weapon...

The murder weapon looked like a golden dagger.

Jiang Shouzhong held his forehead as the stabbing pain in his mind surged more frequently, like waves crashing over his nerves.

Thud!

Suddenly, a footstep came from behind.

Jiang Shouzhong spun around abruptly, almost reflexively, grasping the neck of the person behind him. He then lifted the person off the ground.

The person, their neck being strangled, struggled desperately.

She grabbed the man’s hand with both hers, trying to pry it open, but the disparity in strength was too great, rendering her efforts futile. All she could do was beat on the man’s arm forcefully.

At this moment, Jiang Shouzhong’s eyes were bloodshot, and a tangible killing intent emanated from him.

Drip, drip...

It sounded like liquid dripping on the ground.

Although the sound was faint, it gradually pulled Jiang Shouzhong back from his out-of-control state.

Clarity gradually returned to Jiang Shouzhong’s eyes until he saw that the person he had choked was Jiang Yi!

At this moment, Jiang Yi’s pretty face was flushed red from lack of blood supply, and her originally fair skin bore an unusual crimson tint. Her body twitched slightly, and her legs swung weakly.

Traces of liquid left wet marks on her thin silk stockings, collecting on the ground to form a small puddle.

Jiang Shouzhong hurriedly released the woman and instinctively stepped back two paces.

Thud!

Jiang Yi collapsed onto the ground, clutching her neck, and started coughing violently, appearing quite disheveled.

She glared angrily at Jiang Shouzhong and shouted, "Jiang, are you insane?" Her voice was somewhat hoarse, and clear blue fingerprints marked her delicate, jade-white neck.

Jiang Shouzhong snapped back to his senses, filled with guilt and concern, wanting to check on the woman’s condition.

But as soon as he took a step forward, Jiang Yi shrank back like a startled rabbit, her eyes filled with even more intense fear.

Seeing the fear in the woman’s expression, Jiang Shouzhong apologized:

"I’m sorry, Ms. Jiang, I don’t know what happened earlier. It might have been something affecting me from here."

As he spoke, he looked back at the red box.

Strangely, at this moment, the box was open and empty.

No blood stains were beside the box either.

Jiang Shouzhong frowned deeply and stepped forward to touch the box again. This time, nothing happened.

Jiang Yi’s eyes still held fear and caution as she looked at the man.

She reached her hand behind her, touching an object that had fallen to the ground in the earlier chaos.

Then she slowly stood up, though her left hand remained behind her back.

"You don’t need to worry."

Jiang Shouzhong asked with concern.

Upon seeing the liquid on the ground, the woman’s face flushed crimson, and she glared fiercely at Jiang Shouzhong, "Do you have any new clothes?"

Jiang Shouzhong retrieved a new outfit from the Storage Acupoint and handed it to her. Suddenly remembering something, he took out a brand-new pair of silk stockings from his pocket and handed them over as well, "I saved these for you as a backup."

Jiang Yi looked at the stockings with a gaze full of disdain.

Seeing him fixated on the liquid, she stomped her foot in embarrassment and anger, "Still looking?"

The woman was so enraged her vision blurred.

Usually, her constitution was quite unique, and she often faced embarrassing situations, but no matter how embarrassing, she would never be so disheveled in front of a man.

Yet, it seemed to happen frequently in front of Jiang Shouzhong.

Previously, she managed to brush it off in the coffin, but this time, with the scene laid bare before him, it was undoubtedly a huge blow to her pride.

Jiang Shouzhong awkwardly rubbed his nose, pointed to the bed, and said, "Just go change, I won’t peek."

After speaking, he walked to the door and stood with his back to the woman.

Jiang Yi’s eyes never left the man’s back.

Her gaze still held remnants of fear and caution, her chest heaving with slightly rapid breaths.

Only after confirming that the other wouldn’t harm her did she exhale, and her hand, which was hidden behind her back, slowly came down.

The object she held was the bone given to her by the puppy earlier.
