Chapter 135: Successive Accidents (3,000 words, on the shelves tomorrow for subscription)
The dance went smoothly and there were no surprises in the first half.
One dance after another was played, and the ladies and gentlemen enjoyed their passion on the dance floor, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.
During this period, many people set their eyes on the corner where Evan and the three of them were, and they were quite eager to try, obviously Anthony and Dilis attracted the attention of many people like beacons, and even the eyes with attention to Evan became a lot more.
"Thanks, I'm a little tired..."
After Dilise impatiently refused the invitation of a "gentleman" again, he complained: "It's almost midnight, isn't the 'murderer' coming?"
Being constantly invited to dance by many men who thought they were extremely charming, Dilis was extremely bored, and she couldn't wait for the "killer" to immediately appear in the big battle for 300 rounds, so that these guys who were outside the gold and jade could take a good look at Miss Ben's power!
But at this moment, Ai Wen's face changed slightly, and he said softly:
"She's already here!"
"What, where?!"
Hearing this, Anthony and Dillise's bodies tensed up instantly, and they were about to jump up immediately.
"Don't behave as an anomaly just yet, I haven't figured out where it is. β
Ai Wen casually put down the wine glass in his hand without any radical movements: "Didn't you notice that since before the two dances, fewer and fewer people have left the stage after each dance, but more and more people have joined?"
"There's nothing strange about that, is it? doesn't it usually go on with the ball?" Dilith looked at the dance floor, trying to discern the difference between what Evan was saying, but to no avail.
"There's really nothing surprising about that. The strange thing is that they haven't changed their dance partners at all!" Evan had quietly put his hand on the hilt of his sword, pointing out the most wrong part of the scene.
But even so, Anthony and Dilis couldn't be convinced.
Although their intelligence and memory are much stronger than those of ordinary people after their mental power is activated, it is not enough for them to remember the anomalies that occur on hundreds of people at the same time over the span of hours.
"Haven't you changed?" Anthony's brow furrowed deeply, although he believed that Evan would not be able to say anything, but if he made a rash move on such an occasion, he would really slap the Archon in the face.
If it's the kind of enemy like the "Hammer Trailing Maniac", it's better to say, but it's this kind of enemy who secretly shoots "moisturizing things silently" is the most troublesome!
The crowd is not only their prey, but also their natural cover, making people dare not rashly shoot.
Ai Wen spread his hands, saying that he could only see the abnormality and could not lock the source for the time being.
"Do you have any exact information on the abilities of the 'White-Faced Dancer' and the 'Poisonous Bluebell'?"
In fact, although there was a "murderer" rampant incident eight years ago, there is a big lack of official intelligence.
Before everyone could react, the "Killer" had already grown to the level of a third-level transcendent, and if it weren't for the hidden powerhouse of the kingdom, "Port Newin" might have turned into a ruin at that time.
On the contrary, the Noble Council at that time, as the initiator behind it and the force that suffered the most losses, may have first-hand information, so Ai Wen asked.
Anthony naturally knew that he had to carry the pot eight years ago, and he didn't try to defend himself, but directly told the information he knew.
"Hmm... Poisonous Blue Bellflower is good at illusion and spiritual sorcery, which can interfere with a person's behavior from a psychic level, and if the power gap is too large, it will achieve a terrifying effect similar to that of a group puppet.
Even if it is controlled long enough, it can hollow out a person directly from the inside of the mind and turn it into an empty shell. That's where Alva suffered. β
After a moment's hesitation, Anthony continued:
"The 'White-Faced Dancer' should be closer to the essence of the legendary evil spirit, the most powerful and unpredictable of the seven killers. According to family sources, she had only appeared once eight years earlier, and she was the only one who had never been killed, except for the last kingdom powerhouse.
Her intelligence is also the least, only knowing that her strength is very idealistic, as long as a certain precondition is met, and then see her may be hit! Death!"
After listening to Anthony's intelligence, Evan said bluntly:
"After eliminating the 'Demon's Disciples', I think the situation is now obvious, you can see those who are still dancing, their movements are smooth and their expressions are rich.
It's a visceral desire to dance, not to be manipulated like a marionette, and it's obvious who is behind it. β
"And it's easy to determine if something really went wrong, just a simple accident. β
Smack-
After saying that, Ai Wenjing snapped his fingers.
Anthony and Dilis, who had no time to stop it, could only look at Evan Shiwei helplessly, hoping that he wouldn't make a big trouble that couldn't be ended.
Fluttering...
A white seagull of no size flew out of nowhere, pecked at the fresh shrimp on the table as if no one was around, and when he saw that there was no one to stop him, he swaggered to the champagne tower and flapped his wings and kicked hard.
The two onlookers suddenly groaned powerlessly in their hearts, this accident was too...!
But their ideas obviously don't affect the rules of physics...
Whoaβ
The three-meter-high champagne tower collapsed with a bang, and the sound of glass shattering that lasted for more than ten seconds was enough to alarm everyone in the ballroom.
The atmosphere was dead for a moment, and then turned into a bustle.
"Oh my God!
"The goddess is above. β
Someone looked around, and all they could see was shards of glass, alcohol, and an innocent seagull flying away.
The three of them, who pretended to be nothing, didn't pay any more attention to the champagne tower, but at the same time locked their eyes on the dance floor, and finally discovered the anomaly there.
Da Da... Da... Da Da... Da...
In the midst of this hustle and bustle, even though the musicians have stopped playing, most of the people on the dance floor are still immersed in the world of dance as if they have not been disturbed in the slightest.
The dance is graceful and the stepping points are precise, as if they are still immersed in the same dance music.
"Hey, Blake, what's wrong with you?"
"Stop and jump!" replied the gentleman in formal attire.
"Stop, stop, Alice!"
"No one can stop me from dancing!" the girl in a pink lady dress resisted her partner's resistance and did not stop dancing even if she struggled so hard that her arm was dislocated.
β......β
The few people who were still normal soon noticed the anomaly, and after trying to call out to their dance partners or acquaintances to no avail, they all realized the danger and cautiously slipped off the dance floor around the people who were still dancing.
At this time, the archon, who realized it later, also broke out in a cold sweat, and easily opened the dance partner in her arms, finding that her departure had no effect on her, and the dance partner's face was intoxicated as if she was still dancing with a transparent person who did not exist.
Fortunately, his wife and daughter have left the venue early to rest.
After running off the dance floor in a panic, the archon Murdoch immediately shouted, "Guards!!"
Whoop -
The "security personnel" who had been arranged long ago also realized their dereliction of duty, and at the same time as they noticed that the dance party was unusual, they had already jumped out of their hiding room and rushed towards the dance floor.
"Your Excellency, are you alright?" asked Wood, the leader of the City Guard, as he approached Murdoch's side.
Today, their duty was originally to hunt down possible "murderers", but until the "killers" didn't know when they had already attacked the guests, and they were still unaware of them, this situation was already called dereliction of duty!
Unable to hold them accountable for their dereliction of duty, Murdoch ordered with a slight twist on his face: "What are you waiting for? The murderer has come, it's time for you to strike!"
In fact, he already regretted it in his heart, and in order to reduce his responsibilities and keep a good impression in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he rashly set foot in dangerous areas that he was not familiar with.
I thought that with these dozen city guards, I would be foolproof, but the result was a big disappointment, and it was difficult for me to maintain 100% confidence in the transcendents of the city guards as I did at the beginning.
What's even more terrifying is that these guests, who are "bait", are all high-class people in the city, representing not only wealth and power, but also the order of all walks of life in the city.
He couldn't imagine what would happen if something happened to these people today. When the time comes, don't say that you will atone for your sins, even if you are torn to pieces by the angry powerful family.
When he roared, his back was already soaked with sweat...
"Yes!Your Excellency!"
After bowing down, Wood ordered the city guards behind him to move.
"Let's go up and get everyone under control first. β
Wood's thinking is not wrong, first control irrelevant people, avoid accidental injuries, and in order to reduce the interference of unexpected factors, it is easier to find the "murderer" who does not know where to hide in the process.
But soon, reality slapped him hard.
"My lord, no, they can't seem to think of anything else in their heads, and even if they are stunned, even if they remove their joints, they can't stop them from dancing. β
"I've seen it!" Wood's face was extremely ugly, and he noticed more than his men. As time went on, there were more and more people joining in the crowd outside the dance floor and becoming part of the dance.
Apparently there is a mechanism of action that influences the guests' desire to dance.
The unexpected exposure gives the evil spirits a new reaction, and the dance on the dance floor gradually picks up to speed, and their dancing becomes more and more passionate.
But now there's no music!
Realizing that this would not work, Wood immediately issued a new order: "Quick, let everyone get out of the hotel." Mobilize people to search every room and find that monster!"
"Yes, sir. β
He didn't notice that Just, the deputy behind him, quietly came behind him while agreeing.
Whewββ
At some point, Jaster was already holding the sword in his hand, and the light of the sword pierced Wood's waist and eye like lightning like a poisonous snake from a very tricky angle.
The unexpected came so suddenly and so deadly!
