In the pitch-black dream world, tentacles grabbed Xiao Shi’s entire body firmly. The golden light on his body seemed to have turned into a cage that trapped his body, preventing him from moving. It was even more impossible to escape from the dream.
During this process, the seven members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect stared fixedly at Xiao Shi. If the other party resisted, it meant that he had something on his mind.
Xiao Shi frowned deeply. He definitely could not prove his innocence by staying in the dream world. Not to mention that if he stayed in the dream world, his body outside would fall into a deep sleep.
Xiao Shi felt that it was unreliable to rely on these people to find out the truth. After all, they didn’t even know Mo Hu’s identity in the Xingluo Province. Moreover, once the murderer was among them, he would definitely die if he stayed in the dream world.
“If I want to find out the truth, 1 should investigate it myself. I can’t count on them.” Xiao Shi looked at the seven figures of light in front of him and said seriously. “I’m not the murderer. I’ll investigate everything and give you an explanation.”
“That’s not up to you.” The leader shook his head.
They didn’t believe Xiao Shi now. It was impossible for Xiao Shi to investigate it himself. He felt that the best way was to leave him here.
“Why are you still talking nonsense with him? Suppress him directly!” One of the figures of light roared.
The tentacles wrapped around Xiao Shi’s body immediately began to seep into his body. It made Xiao Shi’s brain fall into a daze, and his mind began to blur. Dreamscape was a powerful method for the Dream Witch lineage to use this as their name.
Once they entered the dream they created, it was very easy for them to kill, suppress, seal, and so on in the dream.
Swoosh!
In an instant, these tentacles had already seeped into Xiao Shi’s body. There was a splash. Xiao Shi’s body turned into a puddle of water.
“Hmm?” The seven figures of light frowned at the same time. “He actually escaped!! This dream world was jointly created by us. Unless he’s at the Martial Demon Realm, it’s impossible for him to escape. How did he do it?!”
Although they could not see each other’s cultivation levels in the dream world, they all knew the other party had definitely not reached the Martial Demon Realm.
“…This person is not simple.” The leader said solemnly. “Although he’s the most suspicious now, there might be other situations. Before there’s conclusive evidence, don’t be in a hurry to insist that the murderer is him.
“We also need to think about the situation of Mo Hu’s death that he mentioned previously. We have to look at this two ways. One scenario is that this person is the murderer. In the other case, this person is not the murderer. This matter is of great importance. We can’t let go of any suspicious points!”
In the room, Xiao Shi opened his eyes. With his cautious personality, he had already asked the existence in the black coffin if it could ensure his safety before entering the dream world. If the existence in the black coffin could not help him,
Xiao Shi would definitely not enter the dream world so easily.
“I didn’t expect to become the biggest suspect now.” Xiao Shi pinched his glabella. In fact, even if he did not enter the dream world this time, These disciples of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect would also think that he was the murderer.
Through his conversation with them, Xiao Shi had already realized that Qin Mo had already told them about meeting him. If he had not entered the dream world, they would speculate that Qin Mo was already dead after they realized that they could not contact Qin Mo. At that time, they would still point the finger at them.
After all, when Qin Mo contacted them last time, he had already clearly told them that he was going to summon him. However, as soon as he summoned him, Qin Mo was gone. He was definitely the biggest suspect.
Now that he had taken the initiative to enter the dream world, he had at least expressed his attitude to them. Even if they suspected him now, they would more or less think about Qin Mo’s death.
If he had not entered the dream world this time, they would be even more certain that he was the murderer.
“The problem now is, is it possible that the murderer is among them?” Xiao Shi began to think about this problem seriously.
The most suspicious person was undoubtedly the figure of light who had taken the lead in suspecting him.
Although he could not see his figure and appearance, Xiao Shi could guess that this person was most likely Xiang Zizhen, the leader of the few disciples of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
“This person has been stepping on me all this time. He’s suspected of wanting to frame me. Assuming he’s a wolf, then he’s most likely already been instigated by the lord to defect. When he learned about me from Qin Mo, he immediately thought of a plan to use someone else to kill him. While taking the opportunity to get rid of Qin Mo, he could also frame me. So when 1 appeared in the dream world, he kept stepping on me and ruining my identity first.”
Xiao Shi knew very well. To others, they would definitely be more willing to believe Xiang Zizhen. It was impossible for him to trust an outsider like him. Especially when all of this looked like he was very suspicious.
However, there were also a few contradictions.
Firstly, if Xiang Zizhen was a wolf, he must have wanted to kill him in one go, not trap him in a dream and wait for them to investigate..
