Chapter 23: The Hotel Attacked
The hotel has four floors, with Rhys and Duroc's room on the third floor being the easternmost one, and Zhifei Xianglan and Suo Lan Qingyin in the next room.
In the hotel, Rhys is comfortably lying on the sofa in his room with a cup of coffee. The midday sun shone right through the balcony window on the floor at Rhys's feet.
I wanted to know more about the situation, but Suo Lan Qingyin didn't seem to wake up and kept in a coma.
Rhys kept his coffee in his hand, recalling all the details since Lock Blue Qingyin arrived in their team house. But it seems that none of them can connect Suo Lan Qingyin with the rumors he heard in the city. "A fragile woman who can't turn to anyone else because her home has been destroyed. How could it be possible to destroy one's own homeland with one's own hands? Unless she has some other ulterior motives......? ”
Thinking of this, Rhys immediately pulled his thoughts back and took a sip of coffee. Noticing that the coffee was already cold, Rhys put it on the coffee table. Glancing at the pendulum clock, it was already eleven o'clock.
Rhys walked out onto the balcony, which was just above the street and could see the people coming. Of course, at this moment he was not observing pedestrians, but to see if Duroc had returned.
There are not many pedestrians, because at this point most people go home for dinner. It's just that even then, Rhys didn't see Duroc.
"Ahh
Rhys was looking for Duroc in the crowd when a scream came from the next room.
It's none other than Suo Lan Qingyin. Suo Lan Qingyin, who had been unconscious, suddenly let out such an undisturbing scream, of course, it couldn't be a good thing.
Without thinking twice, Rhys rushed into the next room.
I saw a woman in the room slumped on the edge of the bed, it was Suo Lan Qingyin. Her whole body was trembling, as if she had seen something terrible. Staring blankly at the window, the window door is swinging back and forth.
Rees picked up the lock and asked, "Where is Zhifei Xianglan?" ”
"Who?" Suo Lan Qingyin seemed to be frightened and frightened.
"It's with you, the girl who was here just now! What about people? Rhys asked eagerly
She shook her arm and pointed to the window.
Startled, Rhys swept out of the window and chased after him.
The windows face the north side, the back of the hotel. It was a dense, densely populated area with alleys and alleys.
Rhys couldn't tell where their enemies were going, and even beasts with a keen sense of smell couldn't accurately find their prey in such a crowded area.
Rhys searched all the way, but still couldn't find a trace. He's not a brainless person, one alley after another can't be so easy to find. Along with this, there was a great sense of unease in his heart, and his intuition told him that it was not so simple.
So he immediately turned around and ran back to the hotel. Suo Lan Qingyin is alone in the hotel at the moment.
By the time he ran back to the hotel, Duroc had already returned. He was placing the lock Lan Qingyin on the bed and lay down.
Although Rhy, who hurriedly ran back, was already tired, he still keenly felt something strange in the room where Suo Lan Qingyin and them.
Duroc, who heard the footsteps, turned around and immediately ran to pull Rhys out of the room.
"How?"
Rhys felt ashamed, after all, she had left her behind. Something like this happened. He stared at Duroc and shook his head slightly.
"How so?" Duroc asked
Rhys took a deep breath and calmed his heartbeat that accelerated after running before: "I don't know, I was in my room just now." Suddenly, I heard the cry of the girl who locked the blue. I rushed to their room, but they seemed to have escaped through the window. I chased it out, but there was no trace. When I came back, I saw you there. ”
"Pandan!" Duroc called softly in his heart
"I'm sorry!"
"Don't say you're sorry, it's not your fault." Duroc patted Rhys on the shoulder: "The most important thing now is to find Xianglan quickly, after all, we don't know who the other party is?" ”
"Hmm!" Rhys nodded heavily, and then he tilted his head back to the room behind Duroc, "Then what about her?" ”
Duroc shook his head and said, "I can only wait until she wakes up!" ”
Rhys said: "Since the other party specially only took her, it means that they have a purpose." ”
"They, how do you know that there is more than one person?" Duroc asked.
"Obviously, if it were a person, it would be impossible for Miss Xianglan to escape at such a speed!" Rhys paused, "Although I know that the other party has a purpose, I still can't know Xianglan's safety at the moment!" ”
"In short, it must be fast, I can't let Xianglan be in danger anymore!" Duroc stared at Rhys and said firmly
"Don't worry!" Rhys patted Duroc on the shoulder with his hand, "Trust me! I'll be sure to help you find her! ”
All afternoon, Duroc and Rhys stayed in the room where Lock Blue was singing. At this time, Duroc and the others didn't know any information about the person who took Zhifei Xianglan, only the clue of Suo Lan Qingyin.
Duroc and Rhys sat on the couch in the room, neither of them speaking. On the one hand, they were afraid of disturbing Suo Lan Qingyin's rest, and on the other hand, they were not in the mood to speak at this time.
Rhys stared at the screen on the east side of the Lock Blue Clearing's bed, as if he was distracted. At that time, a mahogany wooden screen carved with Amiro-style patterns had four pages, with a portrait in the center of each page. These four people are the four gods of human legend, they are the god of time, the god of power, Pavor, the god of fate, Fait, and the god of ice and snow.
God! When a person is in despair, they always think of the people, they can do anything. But where is the real God?
Just as Rhys was in a trance, an arrow struck Fait, the god of fate, straight into the chest.
After the arrow is fired, the body of the arrow vibrates and emits an aftersound. Duroc immediately walked over and drew his arrow.
Nothing out of the ordinary, just an ordinary sharp arrow, but why did it deflect here?
Rhys walked over, took the arrow from Duroc's hand, and watched it carefully.
Suddenly, he snapped the arrow, and a rolled-up white paper protruded from the arrow, which turned out to be hollow.
Duroc pulled out the blank paper and spread it out. It reads: If you want to see that girl, come to the cemetery of the Suolan family before nine o'clock tomorrow.
After reading the words on the paper, Duroc and Rhys suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Because they know that the other party's purpose is themselves, at least now Zhifei Xianglan is safe.
Duroc sat back on the couch and placed the broken arrow and the note on the coffee table.
"Locke! Can you guess the purpose of the opponent this time? Rhys looked at Duroc with his hands folded
Duroc shook his head and looked at the window that had been closed. "I don't know, I can't think of anyone in this place who will target us!"
"Now it's only a matter of taking one step at a time!" Rhys picked up the tip of the arrow and stared intently at the sharp edge.
"But..."Duroc picked up the arrow and said, "Why did you ask us to go to the cemetery of the Suo Lan family?" ”
"This is indeed very suspicious," Rhys paced back and forth in contemplation, "What's more, Miss Suo Lan is here, why didn't the other party tell her to take her away?" ”
"If you don't know, don't think about it." Duroc interrupted Rhys: "If you jump to conclusions now, you're likely to fall into the enemy's trap." ”
"Hmm!"
"That's it! It's six o'clock now, no matter why the other party didn't arrest Miss Suolan. We all have to protect her! Duroc put the arrow back on the coffee table: "I will keep vigil here until twelve o'clock, and you will keep watch in the second half of the night." Rest now! ”
"Hmm!"
