When a small hole in the outer window pane was carefully cut and could only be reached by a finger, and the sash was opened, the room was still silent in the thick curtains.

Wu Ming knew that in the case that there was only one layer of window glass left, like this ordinary glass, no matter how good the sound insulation effect was, if he put his ears on, as long as there was movement inside, he could still hear it. But Wu Ming listened to the window pane for a long time, but still didn't hear the slightest sound. I reached out and tried it, and found that the hook of one window was not hanging, so I quickly put on a T-shirt, quickly pushed open the window sash, and with force on my hands and feet, I twisted my waist and got in.

In order to prevent accidental attacks, Wu Ming habitually folded his knees and rolled twice in a row on the soft carpet of the room until he hid in a corner. By the faint starlight that leaked through the sash that he had opened, the room was empty, and there was no one at all.

Moreover, the quilt and pillows on the large bed are still the ones that the waiter has just tidied up, and there is no trace of passivity. There was no salute on the luggage rack either. At this point, Wu Ming can finally be sure that the owner who booked this room should not have arrived yet.

Is it delayed on the way here, or won't you come tonight?

Wu Ming didn't bother to think about it, so he simply moved the chair in front of the desk to the window, opened the window slightly, and sat under the thick curtains, pricking up his ears to listen to the movement outside.

An hour, two hours, when the time came to more than two o'clock in the morning and almost three o'clock in the morning, it was the most tired time of the day, and Wu Ming also felt that his eyelids were a little heavy and astringent. But experience has taught him that the more this time comes, the more he can't be careless. So, in order to get rid of the sleepiness, he stood up and walked back and forth in the room twice.

Although the wind in the early morning was much stronger than at night, it was easy to discern whether there were any other sounds in the low and regular sound of the pine waves. Seeing that another hour had passed, it was already around four o'clock in the morning, and the eastern sky was even slightly bright, but Wu Ming still didn't notice the slightest abnormality.

However, as long as it is not until the light of day, Wu Ming will not let his guard down. Go back to bed again and widen the gap in the glass window so that the cool breeze of the early morning can drive away the tiredness of your body.

Listening quietly, the slight swinging sound of the curtains from the next window told Wu Ming that Zhong Caini had not closed the window all night.

"Coo, coo, coo."

Suddenly, there were a few faint birdsongs in the woods not far away, and the nerves in Wu Ming's whole body suddenly tensed. I know very well that the call of a bird at this time must have been made by a bird that was accidentally awakened if it had not been deliberately imitated.

However, before it was determined whether the other party chose to attack her from Zhong Caini's open window or through the door of the hallway, Wu Ming hid behind the curtain in front of the window next door and did not move.

When Wu Ming saw that there were at least three dark shadows, moving towards the hotel where they lived at high speed under the cover of trees and shrubs, it happened that there were also footsteps and whispers of a man and a woman in the corridor of the hotel.

"Wouldn't it be that the guests in the room would be so coincidental at this time?"

Wu Ming didn't want to alarm anyone, especially the hotel waiter who was very likely to accompany the guests. So he quickly turned over from the window, and his body was like a puff of green smoke, and in the blink of an eye, he got into the window opened by Zhong Caini.

Just glanced at Zhong Caini, who was lying on the bed on her side facing the window, Wu Ming dodged and hid in the corner near the head of the bed, that is, to the right of the window looking out from the room, which was covered by thick curtains.

At this time, he was able to take a closer look at Zhong Caini on the bed, and when he saw that she was not only wearing a silk pajama as thin as a cicada's wings like in the Peninsula Hotel, but wearing a full pair of cotton pajamas, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was yellow or white under the faint starlight, Wu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After coming to Zhong Caini's room for half an hour, Wu Ming didn't wait for the few black shadows he saw before. Presumably, the other party doesn't want to be discovered, so they should wait for the newly arrived guest next door to turn off the lights.

It's just that at this time, it is already more than four o'clock in the morning, and the sky is already slightly bright. Wu Ming, who was hiding behind the curtains, could even see that Zhong Caini was sleeping soundly on the bed, and Zhong Caini's pretty face could be broken.

As the saying goes, the opportunity must not be lost, and the other party must understand this truth, which means that their action is about to begin.

While observing the movement outside the window through the gap in the slightly raised curtains, I listened intently to the sound in the corridor outside the door. Behind the curtain, Wu Ming stood with his left foot in front and his right foot behind, ready to deal a fatal blow to the attacker who suddenly broke in.

If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, which is the creed that Wu Ming has always abided by. It's not that room at the Peninsula Hotel now, and it's inconvenient to do something to Sakurako Kawashima and Junji Koizumi, who are eavesdropping on Chung Chae-ni. is about to come, not only will they break into Zhong Caini's room directly, but they will also come for her life, even if they are in a foreign country now, Wu Ming, who is good enough at legitimate defense, will use it as an excuse to kill them with a heavy hand.

Suddenly, a slight sound came from above the window, and a black shadow appeared at the window holding a rope.

It turned out that the other party took advantage of the short time before the guests next door fell asleep, quietly climbed to the top of the building, and used tools such as claws to slip down from top to bottom.

I saw that the black shadow stretched out his feet and kicked lightly on the window frame, and his body flickered out, and then by the inertia of the reverberation, he hugged his knees, rolled and fell into the silent window.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as his body crossed the window, the curtain on the left side, which was originally stationary, exhaled, as if it was blown up by a gust of wind, and the whole person was wrapped before he fell.

Wu Ming slammed the black-clothed man wrapped in the curtain into his arms with one hand, and the center of gravity of his body fell on the left foot in front of him at the same time, and he lifted his right knee and pressed it against the man's chest. Without waiting for the other party to open his mouth to call, Wu Ming had already passed through the curtain, and his right hand with five fingers like an eagle grabbed grabbed by an eagle pinched the throat. There was only a slight sound of bones cracking, and the person went limp, slumped from the thick curtain to the soft carpet of the room, and there was no more sound.

didn't bother to look back to see if she had woken up the sleeping Zhong Caini, because at this time, a man in black fell from the window, almost eye to eye with Wu Ming standing in front of the window.

Although the man reacted quickly, knowing that his previous companion must be more than lucky, he did not choose to make a statement, obviously understanding that his actions were unsightly.

The two men inside and outside the window glanced at each other and acted almost simultaneously.

With the help of the inertia of the rope swing, the other party did not advance but retreated, swinging out more than a meter away from the window, and pulled out the katana inserted in the shoulder behind his back with his backhand. And Wu Ming also grabbed the thick curtain hanging by his side again at the first time, and with a strong force, the curtain fell down with a bang. Twist your hands together, open your arms, and use the curtains to twist a rope as thick as your arms at the long knife that the opponent is attacking.

With a stabbing sound, the tip of the knife pierced the cloth rope in Wu Ming's hand, and continued to attack Wu Ming's throat without stopping.

Seeing the opportunity, he turned his head sideways, and let go of the bright tip of the knife in the opponent's hand, Wu Ming's hands were crossed in front of his chest, and he just wrapped the opponent's wrist holding the knife with the cloth rope in his hand. With his arms struggling, he brought it to the left side of his body.

I saw that the black-clothed man who was still holding the rope hanging down from the roof of the building with his other hand was still tightly grasping, and under the drive of Wu Ming, he rushed in from the window with a whoosh. The tip of the knife was attached to the inside of Wu Ming's left shoulder, not only picking up Wu Ming's T-shirt, but also leaving Wu Ming with a deep bone, seven-centimeter-long wound.

It's not that Wu Ming can't dodge the other party's knife, the key is that Wu Ming doesn't dare to dodge. Once dodged, the other party is bound to get infinitely close to Zhong Caini on the big bed. In case of...... Wu Ming didn't dare to let that happen, so he would rather fight to get stabbed than give the other party the slightest chance to get close to Zhong Caini.

So, without waiting for the man in black who rushed in to land, Wu Ming raised his injured left arm in pain, bent his elbow, half-turned, twisted his waist, and tightened his hips, and the tip of his left elbow smashed on the big vertebral point at the back of the man's neck.

I have to admit that the kung fu of this second black-clothed ninja, especially the other party's shrewdness in borrowing strength, really surprised Wu Ming. If it was the first one, Wu Ming would not have been stabbed like this.

Looking down and seeing that the black-clothed ninja who had been smashed to the carpet was still squirming, as if he wanted to get up, Wu Ming simply made up for his lower back. He bent down and grabbed him by the back collar, waved his hand and threw him out of the window. After concocting the same method and throwing the first person out, Wu Ming did not wait for the third black-clothed ninja.

Then he closed the window, and then turned his head to look at Zhong Caini on the bed. knew that Zhong Caini should have been awakened a long time ago, but why didn't she hear her voice all the time?

When Wu Ming saw Zhong Caini, who had already sat up, but covered her mouth with her hands, and had silent tears in her eyes, he couldn't help but hurriedly ask, "Did it scare you?" ”
