Chapter 64: The Snake Molts
The hotel lobby, which was originally deadly silent, suddenly sounded a faint human voice, and Zhuo Xuan only felt that the chaos in his ears had all dissipated, and he felt as if he had woken up from a nightmare dream.
When Zhuo Xuan looked at it again, there was a waitress in black professional clothes standing at the front desk of the hall, she seemed to feel the invasion of unfamiliar eyes, and looked at it with puzzled eyes, so that the former quickly avoided her eyes.
"Now that it's decided, let's go up."
Zhou Xueqiu's face was expressionless, but his voice was soft. He played with the Go piece in his hand and entered the elevator with Zhuo Xuan.
In the elevator, experiencing the feeling of weightlessness, Zhuo Xuan was still full of doubts.
He originally wanted to tell the other party his conjecture when he saw Zhou Xueqiu, but now it seems that there is no need for this.
Is this Zhou Xueqiu real or fake? Where is the beast hiding?
The time required for the pre-quest is coming to an end, and if they don't complete this so-called pre-quest, whether the speculation is true or not, I'm afraid these Chosen ones will stay here forever......
Zhuo Xuan's mind was in a mess, he didn't know what to do next, so he had to follow Zhou Xueqiu out of the elevator like a puppet.
The long corridor was covered with a dark red carpet, and at the end, the carpet split into two and turned in two directions, left and right, twisting and turning; On the wall between the doors of the guest rooms, there are imitations of famous paintings, adding a bit of artistic atmosphere. As the largest hotel in Tinglin City, the interior is indeed luxuriously decorated.
Zhuo Xuan didn't dare to imagine that he would come to this kind of place on weekdays, but now even if he experiences it himself, it is still difficult to have a dreamy feeling.
In the mission of containing beasts, even their own lives cannot be guaranteed, so what is the enjoyment?
"No, it's ...... in the air" Zhuo Xuan's nose moved, and beside him, Zhou Xueqiu's expression had already become solemn unconsciously.
In the air, a smell was wafting silently, gently stimulating Zhuo Xuan's sense of smell, and inadvertently opened a picture of unbearable memories for him.
In the icy rainy night, thunder and lightning shine, an ancient mental hospital, countless stacks of corpses!
The smell of blood!
Zhuo Xuan's eyes widened, and his lips trembled slightly.
That was the beginning of all nightmares, and it was from then on that smell became the thing he hated the most.
Having to face blood and corpses countless times, Zhuo Xuan has gradually felt the changes in himself, how much humanity is still left in that gradually numb heart?
--
"If you don't make it clear today, you're waiting to end up like him."
A hoarse man's voice broke the silence.
In the living room of the presidential suite of the Xinlong Hotel, nearly 20 Chosen People wearing masks and concealing their true faces gathered here, which invisibly created a huge sense of oppression.
The person who spoke was a stout man, panting slightly between the words, obviously a little uneven; His clothes were stained with dried blood, and he smelled of the madness of a doomsmaniac.
The person he questioned was sitting quietly at the head of the conference table, she didn't have a strong body, and her voice was not as sharp and terrifying as his, after all, she was just a petite woman.
But just sitting there brought people an indescribable sense of horror.
Bright orange lights poured down from the headlights overhead, swaying on everyone's face. However, at this time, the hearts of each of the Chosen ones gathered here were heavy, and the light pale their exposed skin.
"I don't need to explain," she sighed inwardly, but she was still cold on the surface.
The plan failed.
True, the plan failed.
The plan failed.
Although she is so strong, she has to admit such a fact.
Arrange these people into a dead end, so as to completely eliminate the voices that are different from their own, and secretly become the leader of this temporary team...... Her calculations were good, but this time, she really failed.
What went wrong?
Now is not the time for self-reflection.
"You don't need to explain?" The stout man pulled down his mask, a deep old scar stretched across his face, and his eyes revealed a look of madness, which was even more ferocious, "When I came, I noticed that someone was following. When we found out that there was only one person on the other side, my two brothers volunteered to stay and deal with him...... Then, they never came back. ”
Scarface's actions horrified all the Chosen ones present.
Not only because of those words, but also because of the action of tearing off the mask that covered his face!
In the world of the Chosen One, after revealing one's appearance in reality, it is very likely to lead to death. After all, the human heart is the most important thing to watch out for and the most difficult to guess, no matter when and where.
And Scarface's behavior is more like a provocation, a stimulus!
You...... Seeing my appearance, do you dare to come and kill me?
Never die!
The minds of every Chosen One are heavy, and for them, the silent spectator is the best catalyst for events to continue to ferment.
But she was still indifferent, her slender eyes like sharp eagle eyes that did not shy away from looking at Scarface, showing the strength in her bones.
Behind her, there were also three or four Chosen ones, who were allies she had long co-opted.
However, as time passed, the young woman sitting at the head of the conference table remained silent, as if she had fallen asleep with her eyes open.
"She, her eyes don't seem to blink......"
Among the dozen or so Chosen ones standing opposite her, a voice rang out weakly.
What the?
Scarface had been waiting impatiently for a long time, if he hadn't seen this woman's ability to temporarily force the "beast" back, I'm afraid he would have done it a long time ago.
But even so, he couldn't bear such a time bomb threatening his life.
What Scarface is waiting for is just an excuse and an opportunity to do it.
Isn't it enough to deal with her as a woman with the strength of many people?
There was a look of shock on his face, but his heart was ecstatic.
Scarface's thick arm slowly stretched out, and his rough fingers slowly touched her body, and then, gently, with a gentle force.
Her body shriveled down like a leaky balloon, leaving the Chosen One standing behind her stunned!
She...... Escaped!
She's scared, she's scared!
"She must not be able to go far, chase me!"
Scarface's suppressed joy exploded, and the Chosen ones under his pressure moved as swiftly as fish fry poured into a pond.
