"That should be our destination," Raven put down his binoculars, "It's a big hotel, I'm afraid I don't know how long it will take to search it alone." ”

The vicinity of the Fernoca Hotel has been completely cordoned off, the anomalous energy source is still in the hotel, all communication with the outside world has been cut off, and according to the people who escaped from the hotel, the hotel has indeed been attacked, but no one knows exactly what happened.

"It is said that none of the people who saw the attack on the hotel came out. "The people who escaped were close to the hotel gate when the attack took place, and they just heard someone shouting and ran out, so we don't know what's inside." ”

Raven and Nicholas were given two main orders: one was to find out the true nature of the power source, and the other was to rescue the survivors trapped in the hotel.

This is a tricky time, and Raven thought in his heart that he had to find a safe way to get there.

"Don't worry about it so much. Nicholas said indifferently, "Anyway, this place has been completely locked down, just go in and find the location of the anomalous energy source." ”

Raven frowned and looked at Nicholas: "What kind of plan is this, isn't it just rushing in? We should choose a safer plan to sneak in there." ”

"Okay, okay. Nicholas finally agreed to Raven's idea, "Just sneak in as you say, and save me any more ideas." ”

I really don't get along with this guy, Raven raised an eyebrow, but fortunately he was willing to listen to my thoughts this time, and something changed after all.

"Can you pinpoint the power source?" Raven asked the Spotter as he turned back.

"No, it's too far. The detective looked embarrassed, "I can only confirm that the energy source is still in the hotel, so if it is specific to which floor or room, there is no way." ”

"That's not good news. Nicholas said on the side, "The hotel has nearly 30 floors, and if you can't be sure, you can only find it on each floor, so when will you have to find it?"

"Not at this distance. "But as long as you can get there, you should be able to detect the energy source with a portable detector, so it's not particularly difficult to find." ”

"Then the question is how to get into there. Raven looked at the hotel in the distance and touched his chin and said, "Okay, is there any other way to get in there besides the main entrance?"

"Headquarters has found a way to dive into. The Detective said as he took out a map from the bag behind him, "This is the underground passage that existed at the beginning of the hotel's establishment, but fortunately we have a map, so it should be a lot easier to enter." ”

"Okay, let's go this way. Raven nodded, "Hey, Nicholas, I heard we didn't go through that underground passageway." ”

"I hear you. Nicholas yawned, "It's not like you're going underground, it's not a big deal." ”

"Can you be a little more serious?" Raven said with a hint of unhappiness in his tone, "this is an important task, don't take him seriously anymore." ”

"Again?" Nicholas snorted, "of course I know it's an important task, and I'll do my best to accomplish it, but I don't need you to remind me back and forth." ”

"You—" Raven was enraged again, but he finally suppressed his anger.

"Alright, we should be able to leave now, right?" said Nicholas, glancing at the time, "Don't waste any more time, get this task done sooner." ”

"Remember to be vigilant at all times. Raven told the Scout, "If something happens to us or you notice anything wrong, notify Headquarters immediately." ”

"I understand. The Observer replied, "Please be careful, too." ”

Raven followed Nicholas's footsteps, the two of them barely communicated along the way, they didn't see each other as teammates at all, and both of them just wanted to finish the mission quickly and then the two of them were far away.

They were found quickly

After walking through the dim passages for an unknown amount of time, I finally found a rusty gate at the end.

Walking in front, Nicholas pushed the door open at once, and on the other side of the door was a ladder fixed to the wall that could climb up, and they climbed up the ladder in silence, and when the glare light appeared, the two realized that they were now in the kitchen.

There was a man lying on the kitchen floor, and the badge on his shirt showed that he was the chef of the Fernocca Hotel, and Raven stepped forward to test his pulse, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he was still alive.

"Hey, how are you feeling right now?" asked Raven as he looked at the chef who slowly opened his eyes.

"Flowers, flowers everywhere. The chef trembled and repeated the words back and forth, his eyes marked with a palpable fear, as if he had seen some kind of horror.

"Don't be in a hurry, let's drink saliva first. Nicholas poured a glass of water and handed it to the chef.

The chef took the water gratefully, and after a glass of water had been completely drunk, he had barely regained his senses.

"What the hell is going on?" Raven asked, as the chef finally calmed down.

"I don't know. The chef's voice was still shaking, "I just suddenly heard someone shouting, so I went out to take a look, who knows, it will actually be outside." ”

Chef suddenly retched at the thought of what he had seen, and Nicholas quickly patted him on the back, and Chef finally stopped vomiting, and then immediately said what he saw.

"Everyone was running away in terror, I didn't know what was going on at first, and then I saw blood-red flowers walking, people falling down, a strange green plant everywhere, and a smell in the air that I had never smelled before. ”

"I was so scared that we ran away, and several times the vines tried to catch me, but in the end I escaped, and although I had a little wound on my foot, I hid in the kitchen, and immediately locked the door. ”

"Then I just felt so tired, I'm afraid I was too scared, so I accidentally passed out here, and when I woke up again, I saw only the two of you in front of me. ”

"I see. Raven nodded and said, "And how many survivors are there now?"

"I don't know. The chef shook his head and replied, "There's no time to worry about the others in that case, so I don't know how many survivors there are." ”

"That's right. Raven frowned slightly, "We were specially sent here to rescue the other survivors, and now that we have found you, let's let you leave first." ”

Raven pointed out the Gu *** of the underground passage to the chef, and then personally escorted him into the underground passage, and only returned to his position when everything was quiet again.

"He just said flowers, right?" asked Nicholas.

"It's true that I said flowers. "But his descriptions are so weird, walking flowers and vines that catch humans that they just sound like horror stories." ”

"We're fighting these horror stories all the time. Nicholas shrugged his shoulders and said, "What he said should be true, and although it is a little vaguely described, at least there is some value." ”

"That's right. Raven agreed with Nicholas, "It can now be roughly judged that the enemy can use the ability to manipulate plants, otherwise there is no way to explain these things." ”

"I'd like to see for myself what the scene he was talking about was like. Nicholas looked at Raven and said.

"Don't take it lightly. Raven reminded, "Judging by his reaction, the sight is enough to break the psychology of ordinary people, maybe it is something that we will feel extremely uncomfortable even when we see it." ”

"I've seen a lot of cruel things. Nicholas waved his hand and said, "There are some things that I can't forget in my life, I remember that before leaving, the captain should have said that this energy fluctuation is very similar to the one in Hagrid, right?"

"That's right. Raven didn't know what Nicholas meant by asking.

"Really?" Nicholas smiled, "that is, with Mephis."

The same energy of Te and Astarott fluctuated, in other words, could it be one of the thirteen demon lords?"

"The possibilities are high. Raven noticed Nicholas's strange mood, "You seem to be happy, does it have anything to do with this?"

"It's nothing, I just hope I can meet that guy this time. Nicholas replied perfunctorily, "Now it's time to go, Raven, we don't have that much time to waste here." ”

After Nicholas finished speaking, he walked straight to the locked kitchen door, he opened the lock in three or two clicks, and then gently pushed the kitchen door open, only to see that the hall outside was empty, but there was a deathly silence.

"No one. Nicholas strode out, "Indeed, there was a smell in the air that I had never smelled before. He sniffed and said, "It should be safe here, has the detector detected where the energy source is?"

"Found it. Raven looked at the screen of the detector in his hand and said, "It looks like it's supposed to be on the fifth floor, which means we have to go upstairs." ”

"There's no way around that. Nicholas said as he walked to the side of the stairs, "Hurry up there, I can't wait to see that guy's true face." ”

What the hell was he thinking?Raven had a question in his mind, and when Nicholas learned that one of the thirteen demons might appear here, he looked happy, but there was anger in his eyes, what was going on?

"Keep up, Raven. Nicholas turned back to Raven and said, "Why did you suddenly stand there and not move, although the two of us don't get along, but the next task has to be completed by the two of us." ”

"It's coming. Raven hurriedly replied, and he quickly kept up with Nicholas, but he still didn't find any answer to the question in his mind.

In this way, they quickly passed through the second floor, and when they reached the third floor of the hotel, they were suddenly shocked by the sight before them.

"Are these flowers?" Raven looked at the scene in disbelief, "He's right, there are indeed blood-red flowers everywhere. ”

"No wonder he said that flowers can walk, is that what he meant?" Nicholas swallowed as he looked at the scene in front of him, "because these flowers actually grow on humans!"

"What a horrible guy who did such a thing. Raven clenched his fists, "Absolutely unforgivable, never forgive the guy who did this kind of thing!"

In front of the two of them, at least dozens of people were lying on the ground, their bodies covered with green vines, and above those green vines, bright and blood-like flowers were blooming one after another.
