Chapter 3: The Night at the Liangyi Mansion
It's late at night.
As autumn progresses, the forest breeze at night brings a hint of coolness.
Dressed in white yukata, the two ceremonies left the hallway and followed the stairs to a door on the right-hand side of the second floor of the mansion, where they pulled open to reveal a somewhat modest arrangement.
The wide bed is neatly placed with white sheets, and on the opposite side of the bed is a dresser, which does not have any lipstick and other cosmetics that ordinary girls would equip, only a wooden comb, which is placed on it at will, and there is a one-person high wardrobe and a floor-to-ceiling mirror of equal height on one side of the dresser.
From the wooden windows that have not yet been closed, you can see a small pond several meters away, and a bamboo forest blooming beyond the wall.
In addition, there are no other items in this simple room, which makes the already small room seem more and more spacious and empty, as if reflecting the mood of its owner.
The girl closed the door with her hand, causing the door to collide with a crisp 'bang' sound.
The two ceremonies walked to the window and looked out the window at the bamboo grove that swayed slightly with the breeze and made a 'rustling' sound, and the moon in the sky that was not bright, and said nothing.
She has always had a habit of going out at night and wandering around the city at a leisurely pace.
Not to pursue the hustle and bustle of the city, on the contrary, in the neon lights and whistles of the night, what she heard from the bottom of her heart was an unspeakable silence.
Maybe wandering around the city in the dead of night makes her feel a little comfortable, or maybe there is something in it that makes her yearn for it, and she has always kept this habit.
Then, last night she was attacked by a hitman.
Her skills are actually not bad, as the orthodox successor of the Liangyi family, she has an incomparably rare talent, and she has the ability to complete most things in the world independently, even if it is a fight with a killer, because she has a variety of killing skills.
But last night's attack was terrible.
In terms of process, the two ceremonies failed.
From the time she discovers that the other party is following and turns into the dark alley to try to sneak up on the other side but is interrupted by a bomb, to the moment she discovers that the other party's real body is a child in her early teens.
The other party's skills in the matter of 'assassination' have been perfected, and the grasp of timing is far beyond her, so that she can only fall into the rhythm of the other party the whole time, and the proud killing skills are almost useless, and the rare talents and powerful abilities are useless.
Her last memory is limited to the other party taking out a pistol from nowhere, and 'bumping' it, aiming it at her head, without hesitation, without the slightest mercy to shoot.
After that shot, she fell into a complete coma.
After that, there was no memory left.
By the time she came to her senses, the attack had already ended, and the figure of the other party had disappeared, not to mention bullet holes on her body, not even the slightest scar, only the slight smell of gunpowder smoke on her clothes because of the explosion could prove that she had encountered a very dangerous attack.
It was later inferred from the clock on the side of the road that she was in a coma for no more than five minutes.
She didn't have any memory of these five minutes, and she didn't know what happened in those five minutes, so she let the other party let her go, which made her feel a strong sense of frustration in her heart who didn't admit defeat.
She knew that the memory of this time was bound to be engraved in her heart, and she would never forget it in the future.
After learning of her ordeal, her father, the contemporary head of the Liangyi family, issued an order prohibiting her from going out for this time.
At the very least, she won't be allowed to go out until her assassin is identified.
Thanks to this, let alone going out at night, she could only ask for leave from school, and even during the whole day, she didn't even step out of the door of the Liangyi Mansion.
"Squeak-"
While the two ceremonies were pondering, a sound that seemed to be an aging wooden door being opened came from behind her, which made her instantly alert, and her eyes, which were still immersed in reminiscence, became as sharp as a knife in the blink of an eye, and projected in the direction behind her.
As she looked, the door of her wooden wardrobe slowly opened from the inside out, and a slender figure stepped out of it with a tooth-aching creak.
Brown broken hair, amber pupils, handsome facial features constitute a look without the slightest warmth, and although the slender and thin body is short, it has a sense of existence that people can't ignore.
The moment his eyes that did not contain the slightest emotion and the two ceremonies met, the whole room became dead silent, and the cold atmosphere permeated the entire space.
“…… How dare you chase here? ”
In the indescribable silence, there was obvious hostility in the knife-like sharpness of the two ceremonies, and there was a bit of surprise in the hostility.
"How did you sneak into my room?"
Because of all the training, the two rituals were quite sensitive to the 'anomalies' around them, but before he took the initiative to come out of the closet, she didn't notice the slightest abnormality, making her acuity useless - this situation was exactly the same as last night.
Even if she didn't know what happened in those five minutes, she didn't lose the memory of the killer who attacked her last night, so that she couldn't even remember what the other party looked like.
This teenager is the killer who attacked him with a bomb and a pistol last night.
in an open space.
Lu Xia silently looked at the girl who was nearly half a head taller than him opposite, and a faint contemplative color appeared in her eyes without the slightest temperature.
Sure enough, it was as if there were two different people living in the same body...... She really didn't know anything about what happened after last night.
- Obviously he has this ability, it is because of the gift of the other party, but she doesn't remember it at all.
"It doesn't matter."
Although he was a little interested in the state of the [Two Rituals], Ryuxia had no plans to make a difference when he was doing business, and in his heart, completing the task always came first.
In view of this, Ryuxia ignored the surprise and hostility of the two ceremonies, and spoke as if no one was around, "Roll up the sleeves of your two arms, I want to check your arms." ”
Tut.
The two ceremonies slapped their lips fiercely in their hearts, and they were obviously unhappy with the little ghost in front of them who was commanding as soon as they opened their mouths.
"Interesting, where is your confidence?"
The eyes of the two rituals became indifferent, "If you want me to follow your instructions, then show enough confidence to threaten me!" ”
"Of course, if I don't show confidence, I guess you won't be obedient."
Instead of taking the attitude of the two ceremonies as a provocation, but taking it for granted, Ryuxia nodded, and then showed his confidence.
"Do you think I can sneak into your room without anyone noticing, and can I place bombs all around this mansion and blow it up into the sky without anyone noticing?"
