Chapter 228: Phantom
Silently walked to Alice's door and waited quietly for a moment, the etiquette and demeanor that his parents had taught him since he was a child made him hesitate in his heart.
He had never experienced knocking on a girl's door in the middle of the night, which made him a little difficult to reach out for a while. But the constant heat in both eyes proves that unknown danger may be imminent.
What made him even more puzzled was that he was now in the range of the detector, but he first got lost and crossed the hemlock village, and now he didn't know what kind of strange thing it was.
Ma Shuo couldn't help but have a lot of doubts in his heart, could it be that the Inhuman race was not exterminated, but could already live in hiding among humans under the condition of shielding the detector?
Although I don't know whether this result is good or bad, these eyes give the same answer as if lost—danger!
Thinking of this, the muscles of the whole body immediately tightened to the limit, and even the spirit was vigilant.
No matter!
In these conditions, grace is not at all convincing compared to life. Tightening the dagger in his hand again, he slowly grasped the doorknob with his left hand and twisted it slightly.
only heard a soft "click", and the door was easily opened by Ma Shuo. Other than that, the whole process didn't make any sound.
Seeing the situation in the house, Ma Shuo frowned slightly.
By the dim and blurred light of the stars and moon outside the window, Ma Shuo finished checking the girl's boudoir in a few steps. The windows were locked from the inside, and the quilt was completely lifted after the person was lying on the bed, and there were no slippers on the floor.
People are not there?
This made Ma Shuo quite surprised, now in this situation where he doesn't know where the danger is, a thin girl doesn't sleep in the room?
If it weren't for the need to keep quiet, lest the "danger" know that he was discovered, he would definitely greet him from the door.
Since there was no one in the house at this time, it was very likely that something had happened. Of course, there is another hypothesis in his mind, and Alice Riddle is this hidden danger.
It's just that in the absence of any evidence, Ma Shuo still chooses to believe in the first possibility for the time being.
After all, he knew from the lost that if he could not find their weaknesses, it would be almost impossible for one person to win. doesn't even have a chance to fight back, nine out of ten will die in the hands of the other party.
Although I don't know how long Shi Niang has been in contact with the other party, she is still alive and well. At least in some ways, it turns out that the girl should be safe.
Thinking of this, Ma Shuo walked out of the room again and closed the door with his backhand. For this unknown risk, he is not without fear in his heart.
It was only the experience of dealing with the lost, coupled with the ability to "break the obstacles", that gave him much more confidence than the average person.
If he really wants to meet the enemy head-on, he is not without a chance to win. At least he has a higher probability of winning than anyone else who is blindsided.
At this time, Ma Shuo almost completely abandoned his sensibility, and relied on reason to analyze the various effects of the situation on himself.
There are positives, but there are also many negatives. The most serious of these is the unknown, so he needs to be the first to find out where the danger is.
Only by fully understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the other party can you give the best reaction he can do.
Is it to kill, to save, or to escape?
Or some other options, all of which need to be based on more information from the other party before they can continue to be considered.
Who knew that Ma Shuo had just gone out and was about to choose where to search first, when the cry of a strange woman faintly sounded in the dissection room where Master Luo Ning worked in the afternoon.
Although it was only for a moment, Ma Shuo's eyes suddenly became hotter by two points. This made him have to "chuckle" in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his entire back.
Girl crying?
Is it Alice Riddle?
In the room where the corpse of the dissected woman was located?
The more I think about it, the more disgusting I feel!
Yes, it's disgusting. There was a corpse with hollowed out of the internal organs next to him, and he was still crying in that environment alone in the dead of night?
No matter how important imagination and assumptions are, they are not as convincing as seeing the facts with their own eyes, and they immediately walked silently when they thought of this.
As the distance approached, there were some signs that the eyes were getting hotter and hotter. It's not as big as it is when you get lost, but the gap doesn't seem to be too big.
Discovering this result suddenly made him more nervous.
It's not lost, but it's not much weaker. If it's really necessary, it may be another desperate one.
When he walked up to him and gently held the doorknob, even the sound of crying was already clear in his ears. Although Ma Shuo had only been in contact with the girl for a short time and spoke very little, the room was indeed very similar to her crying.
Perhaps, it's time for a surprise attack!
A flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and his hand twisted slightly. When he heard a crisp "click", he immediately pushed the door open violently.
In the next moment, when Ma Shuo saw the situation in the house, the whole person immediately froze in place, his face full of shock and stunned.
Alice Riddle was indeed crying, but what was the phantom that appeared on the corpse?
It's just that it's completely translucent at this time, as if a gust of wind can blow it away. And the gust of wind brought by him slamming the door did blow the phantom more and more blurred by two points.
Ma Shuo's move almost scared Alice to death.
The screams just reached his throat, and he was obviously a little too sad when he cried just now, so he didn't take a breath, and he rolled his eyes and completely fainted.
The gust of wind brought by the opening of the door made the phantom blur for a while, as if it had been punished by Ling Chi, and the whole person floated on the corpse and wailed in pain.
The girl was frightened by herself, and the phantom suffered this kind of extreme pain. This result made Ma Shuo wake up instantly, but he didn't know how to deal with it at all.
What exactly is an illusion?
Am I doing something I shouldn't have done?
For a while, Ma Shuo's mind was full of chaotic thoughts, and it was a little difficult to even think normally.
Because he doesn't know what the situation is now, it's just that Alice Riddle was stunned by herself, which is an undeniable fact.
I don't know!
Helpless and cramped, his heart is anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
Suddenly, I thought of the gust of wind when I had just opened the door, and hurriedly closed the door carefully, so that the air in the room was as stable as possible.
Sure enough, this action made the phantom quickly regain stability, and after recovering some of his energy and physical strength, he looked at the boy who suddenly broke in in front of him, and his eyes were filled with boundless fear.
Being deeply frightened by what he thought was "dangerous" made Ma Shuo somewhat embarrassed. Raised his hand and touched his nose, looking at each other silently, his eyes were also full of vigilance.
It's hard to say whether it's real fear or fake fear, especially when the heat felt by his eyes is already similar to when he was lost, how could Ma Shuo relax?
The phantom suddenly thought of something at this time, and the horror on his face instantly turned into surprise, his eyes widened and his mouth opened, and Ma Shuo's ears began to heat up slightly.
At the same time, there was a question with a strong tone of disbelief: "Can you see me?"
Ma Shuo raised his eyebrows and nodded inexplicably: "Well, translucent." Exactly like the corpse under you, who are you, or what?"
