Ding dong~

The elevator carried two people to the top floor of the hotel.

On the shell-patterned wall, there is a hollow wall lamp two meters apart.

The aisles lined with gray wool carpets are lined up symmetrically and regularly.

The top of the corridor also features some delicate black wood with a ribbon pattern that is used as a 'routing' decoration.

The rooms are also lined with dark artworks or Renaissance paintings on the walls through curved glass booths.

At that moment, the door to the third room on the left slowly opened.

An elderly resident, dragging a candle in the palm of his hand and holding a wall with the other, walked out slowly...... The pupils were full of tiredness and panic, and even consciousness was in a trance.

When the resident caught a glimpse of Han Dong with his peripheral vision, his panic escalated into fear, and he immediately returned to his room like a ghost.

Click~ The continuous locking sound is constantly coming from the inside.

"That was ...... just now"

Even if the resident only appeared in Han Dong's field of vision for less than a second, 90% of the image characteristics had already been memorized.

Aside from some of the common features of the dark dwellers, as well as the 'morbid' manifestations caused by severe insomnia.

The little finger of the old man's right hand showed a kind of [spiral] shape...... In comparison, it was far less than Han Dong's glimpse of the spiral arm last night.

Neither the degree of the spiral nor the coverage area of the spiral is completely inferior.

Moreover, the old man did not exude danger or make Han Dong feel uneasy...... However, Han Dong could roughly see that this old man might die in the near future through the perception of death by [Anubis divinity].

"Is this 'spiral' a disease?"

Han Dong had doubts when he opened his room with a room card.

Just open the door!

Ga ~ The sound of straight lines came from above.

A black shadow suddenly fell, and his feet were just one centimeter off the ground because his neck was tied with a rope.

It was the little girl at the front desk who appeared in the guest room in the way of 'hanging'.

Such a strange way of appearing scared Mary Tiss almost squirting.

Han Dong was used to it, and after seeing that his spiritual invasion was successful, he hurriedly entered the house.

After conducting a comprehensive inspection of this room as soon as possible and confirming that there was no "ear on the partition wall", Han Dong sat in the rocking chair in the corner and began to talk to the front desk girl hanging in the middle of the room.

Mary Tise also sat on one of Han Dong's laps with great interest, wanting to hear the strange stories of the city of London.

"What do you want to know?" An extremely hoarse voice spilled from the strangled neck.

"Isn't it hard for you to talk like that? Why don't you put the rope down and speak normally? ”

"This is 'normal' for us...... The [Dark Dwellers] of the City of London all have some quirks to a greater or lesser extent, and these quirks can help us concentrate. ”

"Okay......"

Han Dong quickly accepted this setting and entered the "Q&A session".

"What's your name, what unit do you belong to, and is it related to the agent?"

"Erin. Born at 83 Besson Street in London, he used to work in a newspaper and was forcibly transferred here for his involvement in reporting and investigating a 'whirlpool case'.

I have no direct relationship with the Intelligence Service, but their people often contact me to ask about some of the situation in the hotel. ”

Han Dong touched his chin and continued to ask, "What do you mean by 'special period' just now?"

Why is it that only the top floor of the hotel is open, and the staff here seems to have been transferred?

Who are the residents on the top floor? ”

When talking about this problem, the little girl at the front desk hesitated a little, and it seemed that she had a line of defense about this kind of problem in her heart, but she was quickly broken by "Crazy Laughter".

"Special period" refers to the "period of whirlpool".

Now the city of London is shrouded in the shadow of the [whirlpool], especially the residents of the middle and lower classes have been greatly affected, and they are in fear all day.

There were more than 10 whirlpool events in this [Cavendish Royal Hotel] some time ago, so that all the employees here left, and the hotel was ordered to suspend operations by the administration and used for the temporary containment of 'whirlpool-related personnel'.

Contained on the top floor are all dark dwellers who have survived the Vortex event, but have unexpectedly survived...... Their state is precarious, with most of them dying within a few days and others missing. ”

The answer of the little sister at the front desk directly filled Han Dong's interest.

"Oh? …… Can you tell us about what you know about the Vortex incident? ”

"The origin of the rumored "Vortex Incident" is related to the 'participants' who appeared in the city of London through the Gate of Fate a few months ago.

During that time, we, as ordinary residents, were limited in our movements.

I was resting at home during that time, and I didn't see the so-called 'participants', only to learn later through the newspaper that they were all dead.

Days later, a bizarre serial murder scene in the outer part of the city of London.

Even if a high-level agent is dispatched, it is difficult to find clues.

There is often a part of the deceased's body that is twisted into a spiral.

Survivors will also disappear completely within a few days, either in an exaggerated "spiral state" or after leaving a swirl mark in the room.

Only a handful of high-level agents were able to occasionally glimpse 'strange shadows with a twisted spiral', but they were never able to find the culprit.

As "whirlpool events" frequently occur in urban areas, especially in residential areas with high population density.

Nowadays, many of the middle and lower class residents are desperate to leave the city. ”

Hearing this, some of the doubts in Han Dong's heart were solved.

As Han Dong guessed, the incident he was involved in was related to the [participant incident] in the past.

But as some of the doubts are solved, new doubts arise.

Han Dong asked, "Isn't this a city governed by [Mother's] with a king-level title deed?" With his old king's ability combined with the "power of the land deed", he should be able to directly locate the murderer, right?

Or send a mythical body to deal with this matter, and it won't cause panic in the whole city, right? ”

"It's hard for a demon like us to get in touch with [Mother's Mother].

It is rumored that the mother is undergoing an important ritual and cannot get out.

[Grand Duke Vlad] has been entrusted with a comprehensive investigation of the "Vortex Incident", but the incident has not made great progress. ”

Han Dong knew very well that the so-called [Grand Duke Vlad] must be a mythical entity.

And the strength of the mythical body, Han Dong, who had just been cultivated in the underground stone temple of Enkaiyi, was very clear, and he could definitely reach the level of a group leader...... It's strange that an existence of this level has not made much progress in the investigation.

"Is it really impossible to find it, or is it deliberately not looking?"

Just when Han Dong was lost in thought.

Squeak squeak~

A sharp cracking sound of metal came from outside the door.

I saw a burst of void light and shadow floating between Han Dong's feet, and the whole person had already come to the front door from the corner of the wall.

Click!

Opened the door suddenly.

There is nothing in the passage.

It's just that on the door of the guest room, a "whirlpool" mark was left.
