Chapter 9: Emergency!

Lei Ruoya muttered to herself for a while in a voice that no one else could hear, and then looked at the soldiers on the side as if she had suddenly thought of something and asked, "You said that there are twenty-seven adventurers here, and room twenty-six is the penultimate room...... Is room 27 the last room? Who is the adventurer imprisoned inside? ā€

The soldier who was in charge of bringing out Lei Ruoya before subconsciously said after hearing this question: "Yes......"

But before the words fell, he froze in place, and his face suddenly turned pale. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"What's wrong? What's the problem? Lei Ruoya could see that something was wrong with the soldier's face.

When the soldier heard this, he glanced at room 27 behind him, and then said, "That's not right...... I remember it vividly, room 27...... It's an empty room. ā€

"Empty?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed, Lei Ruoya and Lei Yang's faces obviously showed puzzled looks, and the other soldier's face also became strange after hearing this.

Seeing a puzzled expression on Lei Ruoya's face, he immediately added, "My lord, this is indeed the case...... There are indeed twenty-seven adventurers in this cell of ours, and room twenty-six is indeed the penultimate room...... But in all of us, we all thought that room 27 was an empty room, and ......"

When the soldier said this, his whole body trembled visibly, as if he had thought of something that he had thought about and feared.

After a long pause, he shuddered and said, "We can't remember who the last adventurer was. ā€

Lei Ruoya glanced at the soldiers and said, "You should have all their information. ā€

"Yes, my lord, we do." The soldier seemed to become irritated at once after hearing Reroya's words, "We have all the information on the adventurers who have been imprisoned, we have all the records of their behavior since they entered Belia, and we should know the identity of every adventurer who has been imprisoned - in fact, I do know the identity of the twenty-six people. ā€

"But the question now is ...... I just don't know who the last person left is. The soldier burst into a foul language in front of Lei Ruoya, but he quickly realized his mistake and bowed to Lei Ruoya in apology.

After doing all this, he continued, his tone a little excited: "I know this makes no sense, but I just can't remember the information about that person, I have obviously read the information about that person...... I distinctly remember reading the information of twenty-seven people myself! But I just can't remember! ā€

"My lord, do you know what it's like? It's just that I know that such a person exists, but I can't remember everything about this person! It's like...... It's as if the existence of this person in my mind has been deliberately blurred! ā€

Lei Ruoya thought for a while, and did not answer the soldier's question, but opened his mouth to the two soldiers: "Open the door of room 27 for me." ā€

The soldier who had answered earlier took a deep breath, calmed his slight gaffe, and then replied, "Yes, sir. ā€

He took out a large bunch of keys, turned around and put the key belonging to room twenty-seven into the keyhole.

The keyhole matched the pattern of the key, and the key quickly turned twice, making a metallic sound between dull and crisp in the keyhole.

The wooden door creaked open, rubbing against the floor beneath his feet and making a groaning sound.

The room was a little too dark, and the light in the hallway didn't seem to be able to dispel the darkness, but the darkness seemed to rush out of the room, trying to completely erode the few lights in the hallway.

As soon as the door was opened, the soldier pushed the door and said to Lei Ruoya, "My lord, look...... This room is indeed empty. ā€

But when the door was completely pushed open, and all the darkness was completely exposed to everyone's eyes, he couldn't help but gasp.

Lei Yang subconsciously protected his sister behind him, but Lei Ruoya shook her head at her brother, and then walked straight into the room.

She walked past the two stunned soldiers and came to the room, to the scene that made the soldiers gasp.

The heavy smell of blood came to my face.

The smell of blood, which was still fresh, was unusually pungent, but Lei Ruoya endured the smell and slowly squatted down.

And just below her was the source of this smell of blood......

A corpse.

A headless corpse.

Ground meat and various substances of unknown nature were scattered throughout the room, and it was impossible to see them in the dark, but the foul smell they emitted could be smelled.

The headless corpse lay on the table in the middle of the room.

The scene in the room looked horrible, as if this room was never a room for prisoners......

It's a ...... that takes people as an object Abattoir!

The unpleasant smell made Lei Ruoya cough violently a few times, and when she coughed, Lei Ruoya clearly felt that her stomach was churning.

She shook her head fiercely, stood up on her knees, looked at the soldiers outside the room behind her, and said solemnly, "What's your name?"

"Andrew." This is the soldier who found the bodies of the first and third and fourth cases, and the same soldier who had been a little emotional during the conversation earlier, who answered Reroya's question and pointed to another soldier, "His name is Sade. ā€

Lei Ruoya nodded, her face solemn: "Andrew, Sade...... Two gentlemen, I think we are in a very bad situation right now. ā€

"I know you must be thinking in your heart that this is a piece of: a killer was in the cell and killed four people...... Oh, it's five -- everybody knows it's not good. But what I want to say is......" Lei Ruoya sighed, stared into the eyes of the two of them, and said, "Our current situation may be far worse than you think. ā€

"Regardless of anything else, the crucial point is that this door was also locked before, and this body is still fresh...... In other words, regardless of whether the killer has the ability to kill people in a closed room or obtained the key through some channel, he has the ability to kill people in a completely enclosed room.

That's it...... The twenty-three adventurers in the remaining room are unsafe, and while it's unclear what the killer is trying to kill them for, I think we'll need to gather them together.

Other than that...... We have not been able to confirm the identity of the body, and the situation is now a bit complicated. After gathering all the adventurers, let's take them out first...... It's dangerous here, don't linger here anymore. ā€

"Yes!"

……

Master Priest and Vivi were led by the soldiers into the building that now belonged to the Wartime Emergency Office of Belia.

The lights in the buildings are unusually bright, in stark contrast to the seemingly indissolvable darkness of the city.

The city of Beria was still in the middle of the night, but the buildings were lit up as if it were day.

The Acting Lord Dimon took the matter very seriously, and personally took charge of the meeting with Master Priest - as soon as they entered the building, Priest and Vicky had already seen the Acting Lord waiting in the house.

Dumont expressed his deepest gratitude to Master Priest for the construction of the wall, and Master Priest modestly stated that it was the duty of every resident of Belial to protect the city, and that he was only doing his part.

The talks between the two sides proceeded slowly in a harmonious environment, but just as the two sides had exchanged praises, the acting lord of the castle was about to get to the point and ask some other questions.

A soldier suddenly rushed in, interrupting the conversation.

The soldier seemed to have something extremely important, so he ran straight to the side of the acting city lord regardless of the atmosphere on the field, and said a few words in a low voice.

The acting city lord, who was still a little unhappy because the meeting was interrupted, changed his face greatly after hearing these words.

His face changed drastically, and he apologized to Master Priest and Xiaowei in the room: "I'm sorry for the two of you...... We have an emergency that I need to deal with immediately, so please rest in this room for a while. ā€

"Lord of the city, please."

"It's rude."

The acting lord of the city hurriedly bowed to the master, and strode out before he could even bend his waist completely.

The soldier followed closely behind him.

As soon as the two walked out of the room, Dimon turned around and looked at the soldier and said in an anxious tone, "Emergency!?" A hundred thousand urgent emergencies!? What the hell is going on, is it possible that the demon has attacked!? ā€

Hearing this, the soldier shook his head again and again: "No, no, it's not the devil who has attacked...... Lord of the City, something happened to the cell! ā€

"Cell?" Dimon was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What's going on over there?" ā€

"According to a brother who came out of the cell to report it, the cell was filled with killers and had killed an adventurer in captivity!"

Dimon thought for a moment, and then his color changed: "If I'm not mistaken...... It seems that Miss Lei Ruoya is in the cell today. ā€

"Yes, my lord, and it happened that one of the prisoners had asked Lord Reroya to go to the cell...... We all suspect that the killer in the cell this time is not that simple! ā€

"Hmm...... Your suspicions are not unreasonable," Dimon thought that it was not too much to list the matter of Lei Ruoya as an urgent matter, so he quickly ordered, "Send someone to pick up Miss Lei Ruoya at once!" ā€

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the soldier smiled bitterly and said, "Lord City Lord, if you can really take Lord Lei Ruoya out, this matter will not stab you......

"What do you mean?" Dimon was stunned.

The soldier's expression was extremely helpless: "The cell is such a small place, not far from us, those two brothers have been out for a long time, if we can really take Master Lei Ruoya out...... We've done that for a long time. ā€

"There was a team of guards outside the cell, and they had already started to organize a rescue soon after the two brothers came out, but just as the brothers wanted to enter the cell, something very strange happened......

The soldier said to the acting city lord with a strange face: "Outside the cell, there seems to be an invisible barrier. ā€

……

Two soldiers, twenty-three adventurers, plus two brothers and sisters of the Lei family, a total of twenty-seven people walked on the passage of the cell.

Brother and sister Lei Ruoya and Lei Yang walked at the front of the queue, and the soldiers stood scattered with the adventurers still in shackles.

Twenty-seven people were all in the same dim light, but the expressions on the faces of the Lei brothers and sisters and the soldiers were solemn, while the expressions on the faces of the adventurers were confused.

Before the adventurers knew what was happening, they were told by the soldiers to leave their cells temporarily, and several of them were even pulled up by the soldiers in their sleep.

Twenty-seven people walked towards the wooden door at the exit of the cell, this passage of more than 100 meters was really not very long, and it didn't take long for Lei Ruoya to faintly see the shadow of the wooden door. After seeing the wooden door, Lei Ruoya subconsciously wanted to speed up her pace.

But the brother on the side suddenly stretched out his hand to stop her.

She turned around suspiciously, and was greeted by her brother's unusually solemn expression.

Seeing this, my sister hurriedly stretched out her hand to signal the team behind her to stop moving forward, and asked her brother in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ā€

The elder brother shook his head and did not speak.

Then looking at the dim space in front of him, he took a step back with his right foot, leaned forward slightly, and placed his right hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

And then a knife came out of the scabbard!

The blade of the long knife brought up a colorless aura, drawing a circular trajectory in the air, and the constant screaming sound in the air represented the sharpness of the knife.

The air was split by the long knife, and even the dim light and darkness seemed to be split by the long knife!

Nothing seems to be able to stop the fall of this long knife!

But the circular trajectory was only half drawn before it came to an abrupt end, and the figure of the long knife began to tremble violently with a loud metal impact!

Sonorous !!!!!!

Obviously, there is nothing between the long knife and its landing point, and it is an empty space......

But halfway down the long knife, it seemed to have touched some invisible barrier, and it was forcibly stopped!

Just out of thin air!

The long knife trembled violently as if it had collided with some extremely hard object, and made a loud and piercing buzzing sound!

All of a sudden, the sound of metal in the entire aisle was loud!

Lei Yang gritted his teeth, although the long knife was trembling violently, the strength in his hand did not relax at all, and it seemed that he still wanted to use the long knife to split this invisible barrier.

He struggled forward step by step, and the strength in his hands grew stronger and stronger......

And then dang!

Lei Yang with a long knife...... It was bounced back by an invisible barrier!

Lei Yang took a few steps backwards before he stood firmly, his right hand, which had always held the long knife firmly......

I trembled visibly! (To be continued.) )
