3. The Beginning of the Incident - News (I)

The inky night makes Kyoto Prefecture seem extraordinarily quiet at this time. Occasionally, the sound of a drumming drum reverberates here. The lengthy Nanluo Alley, like a giant beast crawling in the night, has a huge mouth, waiting for the arrival of its prey.

At the entrance of the alley in the distance, a team of night guards walked neatly from one side to the other, and then turned around Nanluo Lane and walked towards Lane 47. This is the route of their daily night patrol, but because of what happened last night, the patrol team tonight is much larger than usual.

On the other side of Nanluo Alley, in an alley that the night guard had just passed, several black shadows suddenly flashed by, and then gathered in the depths of the alley.

The black-clothed man at the head swept his eyes over the few people in front of him one by one, and then began to count the number of people, and said, "One, two, three, four, five......"

When he counted to "five", the man in black at the head glanced at the few people in front of him again, and after making sure that he was not counting wrong, he said to a few people: "Why is there one less!" ”

The black-clothed man at the head confirmed everyone in front of him again, and then said with a solemn face: "What about Qi Si?" Why hasn't he come back yet? ”

The few people in front of them looked at each other, and they didn't know why Qi Si was delayed. This operation was arranged by Comber, originally thought that it was to explore the houses in Nanluo Lane and find the people that Comber asked them to find, the task is very simple, everyone thinks so, so this operation is also a one-man operation to ensure that the person you want to find in the shortest possible time. Therefore, no one knows why Qi Si did not arrive at the gathering point on time for what specific reason.

As the secret guard of the Yasi Mansion, it is a basic condition to carry out orders and be able to complete the task within the specified time, so Qi Si's late arrival this time made everyone begin to feel that this matter is not as simple as they imagined.

"Wait for him to take twenty breaths, twenty breaths, whatever the reason, we're going to evacuate." The man in black at the head also seemed to feel the strangeness of this matter, so he said categorically to the few people in front of him.

The tone is stern and unquestionable.

A few people did not object, but the atmosphere around them began to become tense and solemn, because everyone had an idea in their hearts, a not very good idea.

Qi Si was cut off.

This was originally a very simple task, and no one thought that things would develop to this point, including Qi Si.

After receiving the order, Qi Si walked in the dark corners of Kyoto Prefecture at night, as usual, and then arrived at the destination of this mission.

The night was thick, and it just hid Qi Si's figure.

As the secret guards of the Yasi Metropolitan Mansion, they are accustomed to hiding themselves in the dark, as if in the absence of light in everything, in order to bring them enough security.

Qi Si pulled the mask on his face upwards to make sure that everything on his body was covered in black, and then he chose a household, and then jumped lightly and turned over.

This is already the fifth household that Qi Si has climbed over the wall to enter, and it is also the last household that Qi Si will investigate today.

There were a total of 40 households in Nanluo Lane, and because of the simplicity of this task, each person was divided into five households to investigate, and as the chief of this operation, he had to investigate 10 households.

"If you let others know that I'm doing the snitch, you're going to laugh at me." Qi Si, who came in from outside the wall, rubbed his nose, smiled bitterly, and then touched the side house on the east side of the house.

This is the fifth family, and this is also the last family to be explored in Qi Si's hands. Thinking of this, Qi Si breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked forward slowly, for fear that he would alarm the family if he moved a little bigger.

It's just that Qi Si felt that something was wrong after walking a few steps, the family was too quiet, not normal quiet, but silent.

Yes, it's silence. Qi Si made a positive answer to this idea in his heart.

As the secret guard of the Yasi Mansion, they will cultivate a secret technique to improve their five senses, so that they can predict danger when performing tasks.

Qi Si froze in place, through his keen five senses, he finally understood the reason why this place had become so silent, and at the same time, he also thought of a possibility, a possibility to cause this silence.

Qi Si narrowed his eyes, staring closely at the obviously inhabited room, and then began to move towards the room little by little.

"Let's hope it won't be true."

Although Qi Si has been a secret guard in the Yasi Capital Mansion for many years, and has performed many tasks, it is rare to encounter something as strange as today.

The door was open, and Qi Si put his hand on the somewhat old wooden door with confusion, and then gently pushed it open. It was pitch black, like opening a strange door that didn't know where it would lead, and the wind blew through the deep room, blowing on the walls, on the cabinets, and on Qi Si's face.

The smell of blood! Although the taste is extremely light, Qi Si can still feel it.

Qi Si's heart sank, he knew that his guess just now seemed to have come true.

Qi Si took out a small fire fold from his arms, blew it lightly on the side of his mouth a few times, and a dim light lit up from Qi Si's hand. Qi Si took advantage of this glimmer of light and stepped into the house.

The windows in the house were open, and the wind was blowing in from there.

"It looks like the person who came in before walked through the window."

The family's bed was on the left side of the room, and there were two people lying on the bed, but Qi Si didn't hear their breathing, Qi Si moved his nose slightly, and felt that the very faint smell of blood in the air came from there.

"Probably dead." Qi Si thought to himself.

At this time, Qi Si did not go directly over to investigate the situation, but held his breath and concentrated, improved his five senses, carefully felt the surrounding breath, and saw if anyone was ambushed nearby.

After Qi Si made sure that there was no ambush around, he cautiously walked to the bed, probed the snorts of the two people on the bed with his fingers, and after making sure that they were really dead, he leaned over the light in his hand and looked at the person on the bed carefully.

It was a couple, both of them had an extremely small pinhole in their necks, because the pinhole was very small, so there was no blood flowing out, and if it weren't for Qi Siwu's keen sense, he might not have been able to find it.

Seeing this, Qi Si thought of the task that Comber told them, and then thought to himself: "It seems that I should have won the lottery." ”

Thinking of this, Qi Si turned around and walked towards the door, he knew that if this was really the hiding place of the person Comber was looking for, then according to the current situation, that person should be more than lucky.

At this time, Qi Si couldn't help but speed up his pace, rushed out of the room directly, and went straight to the side room.

The door of the side room was not closed, the window on the opposite side was also open, and the cold wind was blowing in the face, and compared to the main room, the air here had a strong smell of herbs in addition to the smell of blood that quickly dissipated.

It seems that someone has lived here before, and they have been injured. Qi Si thought to himself.
