Chapter 409: Empty Streets
The sky was dark, adding a sense of mystery to this small place, the streets were empty, and gusts of cold wind blew Jiang Xunqiao's face, which couldn't help but make her shrink for a while.
The cold wind lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, fluttering in the wind, as if something was tugging at the hem of her skirt.
Her hand gripping the trunk lever tightened, and even though she had done a lot of tasks alone before, she couldn't help but feel creepy when she came here alone.
The street was empty, with only a few leaves on the ground, and as the breeze swirled in the air, the street lamps on both sides of the road emitted a golden light on the ground, which made it even more eerie.
She swallowed her saliva, her heart beating like a gong and a drum, and no matter how she looked at it, she felt how strange it was.
Jiang Xunqiao looked around, and a hotel with a closed door came into her sight, and she pulled her suitcase and walked in the direction of the hotel.
The grinding sound of wheels gliding on the ground was even more eerie and loud in the silence of the street.
She came to the front of the hotel, according to this time, it should not be time to rest, why is it closed so early?
didn't think too much about it, put down the suitcase, Jiang Xunqiao knocked on the door and shouted, "Is anyone there?" ”
She knocked many times but no one answered, and when she looked up, she was startled by the head popping up from upstairs.
It was a young man about twenty or thirty years old, and he looked down at Jiang Xunqiao's eyes full of fear, as if he had seen something terrifying.
Although it was strange, no one had ever dared to come to the west of the city, maybe it was because it made them feel a little special, right?
Jiang Xunqiao thought so and smiled at the man who poked his head out.
"This gentleman, I'm from out of town, can I stay in the hotel?"
Who would have thought that her words were like a flood beast, and the fear in the man's eyes increased, he directly closed the window, closed the curtains, and the lights that were on before were instantly extinguished.
Although the man's lights went out, the rest of the shops that were still lit were all dimmed.
In just a dozen seconds, except for the street lights on the street, almost none of the shops around were on.
Jiang Xunqiao couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, what does this mean?
Do you want to let her live here?
She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart, originally she wanted to stay here for one night and go to the mafia's lair the next morning.
Before coming to the west of the city, she was fully prepared, and she had already investigated where the mafia's lair was, and by the way, she also checked the situation of some residents in the west of the city.
Mafia has only started to rise in recent years, and it was only a few years ago that it has emerged in the western part of the city.
Before that, the residential area in the west of the city was still the same as other residential areas in country M, a small jurisdiction with strong cultural customs and a very artistic atmosphere.
There are also about tens of millions of households in the west of the city, and the people are simple and harmonious.
Before that, there were many tourist attractions in the west of the city, and there was an endless stream of tourists.
But later, it is not known what happened
, the mafia gradually emerged.
The mafia people are arrogant and domineering, and they do all kinds of evil, and even the local law enforcers can't do anything to them.
Or, rather, don't dare to do anything with them.
Most of the citizens in the west of the city couldn't stand the group of mafias, and most of them moved out of the west of the city, and those who didn't move out were born and raised in the west of the city and were reluctant to leave.
But most young people are different, they are afraid of death, and they are afraid of being asked for trouble.
It was also from then on that the west of the city became a forbidden area.
As a result, there is no one on the street at night.
Jiang Xunqiao sighed, rested in place for a while, then pulled his suitcase again and set off towards the deepest part of the city.
The western boundary of the city was originally the place where country M held the largest share of the land, and it took at least two hours to walk from the entrance to the city center.
I don't know what the hell is going on, but along the way, I didn't even see a single figure.
After walking for such a time, the high heels she wore on her feet made her heels hurt, Jiang Xunqiao simply took off her shoes directly and walked on the ground barefoot.
As she passed through a dark alley, she was suddenly pulled in by a pair of hands.
Jiang Xunqiao's first reaction was to grab the medicinal powder hidden in his body and sprinkle it at the other party.
For the reason of the peculiarity of her profession, every time she travels, she hides self-defense powder on her body.
In order to avoid causing trouble, she usually doesn't use much toxic powder, mostly pepper and itchy powder.
The tickle powder is specially made by herself, and it can be effective in a few seconds.
I heard a muffled grunt behind me, and the powder spilled into the man's eyes.
Jiang Xunqiao's eyes were sharp, and he grabbed the man's wrist with his backhand, twisted it fiercely, and heard a broken sound.
A terrible scream followed.
"Shit, little bitch! Dare to beat my brother, you're small. ”
She felt a strong wind hit her head, and hurriedly stepped back and left the dimly lit alley.
It was only in the light of the street lamp that she saw what was happening where she was standing.
Two men dragged her in, one of them holding his hand and a look of pain on his face, the man she had just attacked.
The other man grabbed a knife in his hand and plunged it into the wall, his force was so great that the solid red brick cracked in an instant.
Thrilling scenes! If she hadn't dodged in time, the knife would have plunged directly into her brain, splattering blood on the spot.
Jiang Xunqiao became more and more guarded, and carefully examined the faces of the two men.
She remembered that the mafia had a particularly pronounced feature, tattooing a crown on the part of the body.
These two men, could they be mafia?
Jiang Xunqiao was not sure, and shouted, "Who are you?" Why are you attacking me suddenly? ”
One of the men screamed in pain, and after a few seconds, the other, uninjured hand, began to clutch at his body.
It's tickle powder flare-up.
The other man with the knife had a fierce expression and stared at her as if he was going to skin her and cramp.
"Stinky bitch, buddies are playing with you to give you face, and you dare to hurt my buddy, I want you to taste a thousand times more painful torture than my brother."
The man snorted, originally looking at this woman with a little posture, like she was brought in to play, but he didn't expect that he couldn't play with her, but he lost his brother in it.
If he doesn't teach this bitch a good lesson, she still doesn't know who is in charge of this west of the city!
The man smiled wickedly, took the knife and rushed forward.
Although Jiang Xunqiao has trained a lot in the base and his skills are much better than before, he still lost to the man in front of him.
