Chapter 03: The Assassin [Explosion Week Plus 1]
Purple Kite heard Mo Siyou's muttered words, and moved her gaze to him looking up at the sky. In his eyes, there seemed to be a meteor falling, filled with the faint starlight. There is probably no pearl in this world that can compete with the stars under his eyes.
Zhu Yin and Lan Xuan on the side also frowned slightly like Mo Siyou, revealing a worried look.
"The third one. Lan Xuan sighed unconsciously.
As soon as the words fell, I saw a servant hurriedly running into the practice ground, shouting to the high platform as he ran: "Three senior brothers, the master asked you to quickly take your disciples to search the villa - someone broke into the dungeon and was injured by the patrolling disciples, but he took the opportunity to escape, and he may still be in the villa now!"
Mo Siyou's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. In the dungeon of Green Grass Villa, there are some demons, if someone breaks in, release these things, the consequences are unimaginable! Although listening to the tone of the servant, the intruder is a failure to escape, but if he does not catch this person, he will find a gap in the future and take advantage of the void, it will be a huge hidden danger!
"Let's go!" Zhu Yin, as the second senior brother, gave an order to Lan Xuan and Mo Siyou, and then ran ahead with a team of disciples.
The purple kite hadn't come back to her senses yet, and looked at Mo Siyou in a daze, "Brother Mo......"
"Go back to your room. Mo Siyou simply put down a sentence, and in a blink of an eye, he was out of the practice ground, and the purple kite could only see the horns of his flying robe.
The light skills he performed, not to mention that the purple kite didn't react, and many disciples could barely keep up with his pace.
Seeing that the courtyard had become empty, and it was dark and oppressive, it was quite infiltrating, so he tugged at the corner of the purple kite's clothes and said carefully: "Girl, it's not safe outside, I'll send you back to the room." ā
Purple Kite watched the pale blue disappear from sight, then nodded a little unwillingly, and walked back to the guest room in the backyard with Pinyan. Pinyan instructed her a few words, such as not running around at this time, calling her if there is something to do. The maids who serve the guest rooms are not far from the backyard wings, at most they are separated by a courtyard, and they can be heard as long as they raise their voices and shout. After the purple kite coped, she closed the door and walked to the table to pour herself a cup of tea. Winters in the south are still a little dry, but much better than in the north. Even so, when she came back from a trip, she just wanted to fill her stomach with a few more glasses of water.
But as soon as she brought the teacup to her lips, she stopped moving, and the tea moistened her lips, but she didn't swallow it. That was just now...... Purple Kite slowly moved the teacup away from her lips and moved it forward a little, returning to the moment when she had just picked it up and handed it to her lips. The clear tea, still faintly rippled because of this movement, but it was clearly enough to reflect the black figure on the beam directly above.
Purple Kite's body stiffened slightly, and her movements froze for a moment, and then she took a step back almost with bated breath, turning and walking towards the door.
However, as soon as she turned around, a chill came from her neck, and her mouth was covered by a broad, moist palm, forcing her to stop and not dare to move again.
"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you. A hoarse male voice came from behind.
The purple kite swallowed, nodded obediently, and glanced out of the corner of her eye at the scene reflected in the bronze mirror under the closed window.
Behind her stood the dagger-wielding man, dressed in a black suit, his face covered with a black scarf, revealing only a pair of fierce eyes. The hand that covered her mouth was stained with fresh blood and trembled slightly.
Looks like this is the assassin who is now being hunted down all over the villa!
"I have nothing to do with Grass Villa......" Purple Kite muttered inarticulate to explain, but only her "poof" heartbeat could be heard in the quiet room.
"Shut up!" the man snapped, his words tinged with a hint of bitterness.
A drop of crimson blood dripped from the deep wound on the Assassin's shoulder and made a faint sound.
This is......
The agitated eardrums gave the purple kite some hints. She could have concluded that the Assassin's blood was his own. He's hurt!! As long as he can stabilize him and not kill himself, if he continues to consume like this, that guy may not take advantage.
In this nerve-wracking silence, there was a knock on the door.
"Wow!"
"Girl, are you there?"
Hearing Pinyan's voice, the purple kite's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and the shouts had already surged to her throat, but she was pulled back by the dagger that was an inch closer. She glanced at the man behind her with a look of resentment. The Assassin repeated to her a similar sentence with his eyes: If you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill you.
"Girl, girl?"
Seeing that Pin Yan was about to break into the door if he couldn't hear an answer again, the assassin glared at Purple Kite fiercely with a threatening look, and the bloody hand slowly let go of her, but the dagger was pressing inch.
"Pinyan...... IāI've just been resting, and I haven't had time to get dressed yet. Is there something wrong?" replied Purple Kite pretending to be calm.
Hearing the voice of the purple kite, Pin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "No, no, I just heard from the disciple that I saw a figure running into the backyard, and I was a little relieved, so I came over to take a look." Girl, you're fine!"
"Thank you. It's not safe outside, so go back to your room. Purple Kite replied calmly, and at the same time wailed in annoyance: Pin Yan helps! But it was obvious that Pin Yan and she did not have such a high-sensitivity telepathy, and after hearing Purple Kite answer like this, she left with peace of mind.
Now it's ......
Purple Kite gasped for breath, not knowing how long the assassin was going to threaten her like that. What if he wants to kill someone? What if he can't run away, he will be buried with someone? What if he ...... The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and goosebumps appeared on her body, but then there was a muffled sound behind her. She was stunned for a moment, then cautiously glanced back, and the assassin had fainted to the ground, and the dagger in his hand had fallen to the side.
"Hey?" Purple Kite tentatively nudged the assassin with his toes, but he didn't react, the wound on his shoulder was still bleeding, and his pale forehead was covered with cold sweat. But he could feel that he was still breathing faintly.
The purple kite let out a long sigh of relief. In this kind of critical moment, it really depends on who consumes more time...... Then the corners of her mouth hooked up a mischievous smile, and she muttered to the unconscious assassin, "Big brother, you are too unprofessional to rob the prison. ā
As for what to do with him......
A cold cup of tea splashed on the man's wheat-skinned face, sobering him up a little, but his head still seemed to be a little heavy. But the next moment he realized that his hands were tied with strips of cloth, he came to his senses, and his body sank in the wooden chair kept writhing and struggling.
"If you move again, the wound will open, and I won't bandage it again. As she spoke, the purple kite sat down across from the man, poured herself a cup of tea, and took a sip quietly.
The man lowered his eyes and saw that his shoulder was indeed drugged and wrapped. He turned his head to look at Purple Kite in some surprise and puzzlement, not understanding why she did this. And she can be regarded as a person who has experienced life and death just now, and now she is still in the mood to drink tea so calmly?
"Why did you save me?"
"I don't want someone to die in this room, bad luck. Purple Kite replied simply.
"Then why don't you hand me over to the group outside?" the man still wondered.
Purple Kite put the teacup on the table, picked up the dagger next to him and sent it to his throat, almost stabbing it in, but in the end he just picked his chin, and laughed to himself: "You dared to threaten this girl just now, just hand you over like this, wouldn't it be cheap for you?"
"Anyway, I'm in your hands now, you can kill if you want, you don't have to insult people. It's not a pity for me to die, but it's a pity to ......" He was still cold and hard in front of him, not afraid of life and death, only the last few words were covered with a faint unwillingness and a trace of sadness.
"Tsk~ You begged for death so freely, the person locked in the dungeon was going to be sad and desperate. Purple Kite blinked twice and said deliberately teasingly.
"You!" the man stared at the purple kite with wide eyes, firstly because he was a little surprised and annoyed that she saw through it, and secondly, because he heard something in her words.
"If this girl wants to kill you, she won't keep you alive until now. It just so happens that now they are not allowed to go out, it is very boring, and it is good to have someone to talk to me. Hey, why don't you tell me what you saw in the dungeon?" said Purple Kite as she stared at the assassin.
"Why are you asking this?" the Assassin was puzzled.
"Curious! I've heard that there are a lot of strange things in the dungeons of Greengrass Villa. The purple kite shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly, and sat comfortably in her chair, as if she was ready to listen to a wonderful story.
"That's a person, not something strange!" the man roared, staring at the purple kite with a slightly angry gaze.
"Huh?" Purple Kite rolled her eyes at the guy who was tied up and yelled at her so arrogantly, and although the roar did not scare her, it surprised her. Is there a person in that dungeon? can't be...... She was thinking about her thoughts, but the man said to himself.
"That's people...... Not something weird...... It's not a demon...... How could Ahe be a demon? He's my brother! He, he's just a little different from ordinary people. That's a disease, not a demonic spirit...... Why are you holding him?" the man's hands clenched into fists, and his eyes showed a look of pain and struggle.
The purple kite raised her head suddenly and looked at the man in front of her with a surprised gaze. What did he just say?
"You mean, you're here to save your brother, and did you find him in the dungeon?" Purple Kite's eyes were filled with mist that made it impossible to see.
The man shook his head and muttered, "I've obviously looked for it...... It must be the locked door, it must be!"
Purple Kite listened to him for a while, a little crazy, thinking that he couldn't ask anything from this man's mouth, so he waved the dagger in his hand, "brushed" twice and cut off the strip of cloth tied to his wrist, and then threw the dagger on the table, and said, "You go." ā
The man looked at her even more shocked and asked in disbelief, "You're going to let me go?"
The purple kite glanced at him and sipped his tea, "Go as far as you want before I change my mind." ā
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" The man's eyes showed a fierce light, but there was a hint of a different look at the purple kite.
The purple kite smiled "poof", pointed at the beam of the house and said, "If you want to kill me, you won't just put my neck on it just now." I advise you, 'Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood', your brother is still waiting for you. Okay, I can only do my part, whether you can get out of the villa well depends on your own ability. ā
The man re-examined the young girl in front of him, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "If I can leave alive, you and I will see each other sooner or later." I owe you this life. ā
"Poof-" Purple Kite almost didn't squirt out the tea in her mouth.
Why is this dead-eyed sentence so familiar?
