In the middle of the night, the gates were closed and the streets were devoid of pedestrians.

Only a little moonlight and starlight outlined the outline of the city, and occasionally there were houses with guiding lanterns hanging in front of their doors, or candles lit by houses that had not yet fallen asleep.

The whole city was like a dormant black monster, and in the night, black shadows silently surged towards the inn in the city.

The door to the inn was closed, and a little light leaked through the cracks.

Listening carefully against the crack in the door, you can hear Xiao Er's slight snoring.

In the backyard of the inn, two or three thin horses and mules were napping, and the forage eaters were listless.

The chickens in the coop all kept their heads down quietly, and the little yellow dog in the yard was resting peacefully on the ground with a straw rope tied to his neck.

Its ears and nose twitched from time to time, and it jerked its head up when it heard a crisp sound of tiles.

It looked around, listened vigilantly, and heard no more, but blinked twice, its neck weakened, rested its head on its front paws, closed its eyes, and fell asleep.

The sound of tiles not only alarmed the little yellow dog guarding the door, but also alarmed Su Li, who was unable to sleep peacefully in the guest room.

Her eyes widened in horror, and she jerked the quilt against her head, curled up at the foot of the bed.

I was stunned for a few seconds, and then I felt that it was still unsafe here, so I simply opened the cabinet and got in.

A steel knife slipped through the crack in the inn's door and lifted the deadbolt with ease.

The door of the inn was opened, but Xiao Er inside still hadn't woken up.

Xiao Er lay on the counter, smacking his mouth with his eyes closed, and suddenly felt a little out of breath.

When he opened his eyes suddenly, he found that his mouth was covered, and his whole body was pressed against the counter, and his neck was cold.

He looked in the direction of his neck and struggled desperately.

A bright steel knife rested on his neck, followed by the man's threatening voice in his ears:

"Don't shout, 'Where do the women who came to stay here live today?'"

Xiao Er nodded again and again, and the steel knife had no intention of moving away.

Xiao Er could only continue to maintain the posture of being pressed down on the counter, trembling and reaching out to pull the registration book in front of him, squinting his eyes and flipping through the registration book, then turning to a page, pointing to the room number on it and gesturing.

The masked black-clothed man who held down Xiao Er exchanged glances with each other, and then quickly stabbed Xiao Er in the neck.

The needle was coated with anesthetic, and Xiao Er immediately fainted.

The masked men in black immediately dispersed and ran towards the guest room.

The moment the masked man in black burst into the room, another man in black rushed in through the window.

The two black-clothed men were stunned after facing each other, followed by a splash and began to kill with a knife, and a splash stopped them from killing.

The two sides soon scuffled together, both dressed in black and masked, and the fight was confused and inseparable.

The sound of the fight alarmed the customers in the store, and they opened the door in a daze and quickly shrank back in fright.

The faint of heart hid themselves, and some fell asleep and were not woken up.

The two people have clear goals, and they soon find that they are both looking for the same person - Su Li.

Su Li was hiding in the cabinet at this time, and she was so frightened that she was about to faint when she heard the sound of fighting outside.

She never thought that she would be found no matter how careful she was!

Fortunately, I found a few people to move in at the same time in advance, hoping to fool these people away.

But as the footsteps approached her door, she fell into despair.
