Chapter 349 Evil in the Heart

The front hall.

The fire was rekindled.

The butcher sat by the fire, like a pile of sculptures in the flickering firelight, silent.

I kept my distance from him.

Qiu Huiyan is sitting next to me.

The warm flames were baking the wet clothes on his body, and the half-dry and half-wet feeling made his body even more uncomfortable.

There were only three people left in the Rakshasa Temple.

I remembered the saying again: Three people don’t hug a tree.

Who is the person in the middle, the pig butcher, me, or Qiu Huiyan?

I held the knife tightly in my hand and looked at the pig butcher with my peripheral vision from time to time.

The butcher looked at the fire in a trance, and could not see any joy and excitement in getting the treasure.

I don't know if he is too calm or if the Buddha treasure is not that important to him.

But if it's not important, is it necessary for him to risk entering the Rakshasa Temple to fight for it?

This person is so interesting that I really don’t want to be his enemy.

"Brother, we don't want to steal the Buddha treasure from you, please don't kill us, okay?" Qiu Huiyan's frightened voice broke the silence in the hall.

The pig butcher raised his head, glanced at her lightly, and said nothing.

"As long as you let us go, I will pretend that I haven't seen anything tonight." To show her sincerity, Qiu Huiyan took out a bottle of water and asked me to hand it to the pig butcher.

The butcher still said nothing.

"Go ahead and think about the Buddha."

Qiu Huiyan put water into my hand and whispered in my ear.

"I don't think he meant to kill anyone and silence him." I didn't move.

Qiu Huiyan was stunned: "You are not a roundworm in his belly. If he wants to kill you, do I need to remind you first?"

"You're pretty awesome." I smiled.

"What's the meaning?"

"You obviously passed out with a high fever and ate poisoned food, but you are still alive and well until now." I smiled.

Qiu Huiyan's eyes flickered: "That's because I discovered their conspiracy, so I secretly spit out the rice."

"In that case, why didn't you tell your boyfriend? Do you want to watch him die?"

I put the water next to me and lit a cigarette.

"I was too scared at the time. Chen Laosan kept staring at us, and I didn't find a chance." Qiu Huiyan frowned.

"You have too many flaws." I shook my head, "Tell me, what is your identity?"

Qiu Huiyan was stunned.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just keep this bottle of water and drink it yourself."

Qiu Huiyan gritted her teeth, lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "Even if I have an identity, so what? Doesn't this prevent us from cooperating?"

"Then I have to know what your purpose is." I flicked the ash from my cigarette.

"When it's done, I can give you a lot of money." Qiu Huiyan narrowed her eyes.

I said amusedly: "Oh, didn't you just say that the Buddha treasure is mine?"

"You" Qiu Huiyan suppressed her anger, glanced at the pig butcher, and lowered her voice, "I did do it for the Buddha treasure. Chen Jingdong didn't lie to you."

"Putting the Buddha in your hands will only bring you death."

"As long as you help me get the Buddha treasure, the benefits I will give you will be ten times more than what Chen Jingdong promised!"

I shook my head lightly: "This condition is not enough to attract me."

At this moment, I understand.

I am the one in the middle, whoever I favor will win in the end.

In other words, at this moment, I am the one with the most advantage.

"Then what else do you want?" Qiu Huiyan gritted her teeth.

I looked at her, blew out a smoke ring lightly, and said nothing.

Under the flickering firelight, there was a blood stain on the clothes on her chest, which looked like a word.

This woman endured it all night and suffered so much, but she was the one who kept it secret the most.

But unfortunately, after the Buddha fell into the hands of the butcher, she became a little anxious.

Eager to use me against the butcher.

Even if there is a huge disparity in strength and I can't kill the pig butcher, it will definitely weaken the pig butcher's power and increase her chances.

Of course, it's better to lose both sides, and she will be the one who laughs in the end.

This woman has such a vicious heart.

There is only one hour left before dawn.

She had reason to be anxious.

"What do you want? Do you also want the Buddha treasure?" Qiu Huiyan said anxiously.

"Of course not, I'm not interested in this thing."

"Then what conditions do you want?"

"Tell me first, why do you all want Buddha treasures? What is the use of this thing?" I said calmly.

"Knowing too much will do you no good!" Qiu Huiyan said coldly.

"Then there's nothing you can do. I can't help you." I shrugged indifferently.

"If you are not afraid of death, then just listen. That Buddha treasure is a key." Qiu Huiyan took a breath and said.

"What key?"

"The key to unlocking the treasure of the stars." Qiu Huiyan said hurriedly, "I can only tell you so much. If you ask again, I can't answer you!"

Treasure of the stars?

My heart was shocked.

Could it be related to the twenty-eight constellations?

"Tell me clearly, what is the treasure of the stars?" I asked.

"Why are you asking so much?" Qiu Huiyan looked at me carefully, "Who are you? Don't talk to me about running in accidentally. It's not an accident that you can enter the Rakshasa Temple tonight."

"You are not willing to confess, why should I tell you again?" I said funny.

"I've said everything I can. As long as you don't steal the Buddha treasure from me, I'll give you whatever benefits you want!"

"I just want to know what the treasure of the stars is."

"I can't say." Qiu Huiyan was very determined and refused to say another word.

"Well, I don't want to force anyone to do anything difficult." I put out the cigarette butt and glanced at the water on the ground.

"As long as you drink this bottle of water, I will help you."

"How is that possible? You know what's in the water." Qiu Huiyan suddenly reacted, and her face suddenly turned ugly.

"That means there's nothing to talk about?"

Her eyes turned cold and she suddenly screamed.

"Ah - don't kill me!"

Like a little white rabbit facing a hunter, Qiu Huiyan ran towards the pig butcher in panic.

"He wants to kill me, please save me, save me!"

My eyes widened and I was really shocked by her acting skills.

"He just said that after killing the remaining two people, the Buddha treasure will be his." Qiu Huiyan shouted as she ran.

"Brother, please save me, I don't want anything, I just want to live."

Tears welled up in her eyes. Qiu Huiyan threw herself at the butcher's feet, pleading pitifully.

The pig butcher's face became uncertain, his eyes fell on the knife in my hand, and his eyes suddenly became a little colder.

The sharp blade shone slightly coldly in the firelight.

When I met his gaze, my heart sank.

The hand holding the knife tightened unconsciously.

Will the pig butcher believe Qiu Huiyan's lies?
