Chapter 2: Angel

After leaving the White Dove Bar, Jack walked to his hotel.

No one followed him - not that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare.

The killers in the White Dove Bar are all old people, and they won't be like Ice Finger...... Take risks out of curiosity, or some subtle self-esteem mixed with jealousy.

"Sir, do you want to buy a flower?"

As Jack walked down the street in front of the hotel, a girl selling flowers approached him and whispered a question.

The girl looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and was very clean; She had neither a fat nor a bookish atmosphere, just a pair of tired, sad eyes.

Although she was wearing a long-sleeved dress, Jack noticed several scars on the side of her neck and wrists.

"It's time for you to go home, little girl." Jack pulled out a few bills from his wallet and took the small bamboo basket containing the flowers directly from the girl's hand.

He had no interest in the girl's story, he just felt that it was wrong to let such a child continue to wander in the middle of the night.

"Thank you! Thank you! Mr! The girl's eyes brightened when she saw the amount of the bill in her hand, but when she looked back and thanked her, Jack was already far away.

…………

A few minutes later, Jack returned to his hotel room with the basket of roses.

The moment he opened the door, he heard...... There was the sound of water in the bathroom

Apparently, while he was out and about, someone came in.

There was a "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging outside Jack's door, and there were no cleaners' carts parked inside or outside the door, so the sound should not have been made by the hotel staff.

Without thinking, he placed the basket on the shoe rack by the aisle inside the door and pulled out the pistol in his arms.

Before entering the house, he also stuck a pair of slippers in the gap at the bottom of the door to prevent the door from closing automatically, and then quietly and quickly walked through the hallway and into the living room.

He was always ready to deal with an ambush that could come from any angle.

But, there was no ambush.

There was just a bag, and a few pieces of clothing – expensive, with the smell of designer perfumes, women's bags and clothes.

The things were thrown messily on Jack's bed, and for a moment, he wondered if he had gone to the wrong room.

But that's undoubtedly impossible...... So, Jack quickly threw away that thought, walked to the bathroom door, and pushed open the hidden door.

The bathroom was small, and standing in the doorway, he could see all the places where he could hide.

At this time, in the shower cubicle, there is a person in the shower.

Judging by the silhouette on the frosted glass, it was a woman, a woman who would make you think that her figure was simply perfect even if you could only see the outline.

Just as Jack was considering whether to shoot the other man in the leg first, the woman seemed to have just finished washing.

She turned off the faucet, removed the towel from above the glass, and opened the door to the glass cubicle before it was fully wrapped.

"Ahh The woman was startled when she saw Jack outside the door, but she quickly gasped and smiled, "Oh, baby, you freak the hell out of me. ”

As she spoke, she wrapped her towel in the whole way and walked out of the bathroom.

The moment the cubicle door was opened, Jack realized...... The woman was just an ordinary person, so he quickly hid the gun in his hand into his jacket pocket; Fortunately, the water was rising in the bathroom at this time, and the other party did not notice his actions.

"Huh? Why don't you even close the door? Soon, the woman's voice and the sound of the door closing came from behind Jack, "Wow, are these flowers for me?" You're a thoughtful gentleman. ”

"Can I ask...... How did you get in? Jack thought as he turned back to the living room and asked.

"Of course I came in through the door." The woman just wrapped in a bath towel and lay on her side on the bed, holding a red rose in her hand, "Oh, by the way, my name is Angel (one of the few common flower names for foreign strippers/special industry workers), what should you call it, sweetheart?" ”

By the time she said this, she had begun to scratch her head, and in addition to looking at Jack with seductive eyes, she also stuck out her tongue and licked her lips with a particularly exaggerated motion, and rubbed her roses against the bottomless furrow of her chest.

"The person who invited you to come has already paid for it." When Jack said this, he didn't even look at the other person, but used his mobile phone to look around the room, searching for something.

"Oh~ yes, even though I didn't meet your friend in person, he/she is a generous person." Angel replied, "When he sent me your photo and address, he/she had already sent the money and included a tip. "She said this, turning over on the bed, freeing up the bed near Jack," I said...... Why don't you come to bed and talk to me more deeply? ”

"Contact online...... So, there is no face or voice left, is it......" Jack muttered two sentences when he heard this.

Two seconds later, as if he suddenly thought of something, he stopped what he was doing, looked at the other party and said, "Have you eaten or drunk anything in public today?" ”

"What?" Angel was asked inexplicably, in fact, at this moment, she was already a little angry with Jack's cold attitude, but as a person with professional ethics, she still forced a smile and continued to reply with that sultry charm, "I...... Belch...... I've eaten it, but people usually ...... in high-end restaurants."

"Eat this." Before she could finish her sentence, Jack took a small tin box from his pocket, took out a pill from it, and handed it to her.

"Oh~ Sweetheart, I'm sorry, but I don't include eating these things of unknown origin in my service." Angel replied with a grimace.

As an experienced and highly professional worker in a special industry, Angel knows that there are some things that must not be touched; She's seen a lot of her peers get completely spoiled because they're addicted to drugs or have eaten something weird...... She didn't want to follow in their footsteps.

"Okay then." In the next second, Jack answered such a sentence.

Just when Angel thought that the other party had given up, for some reason, she suddenly felt ...... There was something foreign in her throat, and by the time she came back to her senses, her swallowing instinct had caused her to swallow it.

"You ......" Angel didn't see the other party make any moves, but she knew she must have taken the pill, "What are you doing!" ”

Now, there is no need for her to put on a smiling face.

"You bastard...... Angel quickly took her phone out of her bag and pressed the speed dial button, "You'd better tell me what you're eating?" ”

"Antidote." Jack was calm and didn't react violently to the other party's sudden yelling.

"What?" Angel exclaimed, "What poison? Am I poisoned? ”

"Don't worry, you may not be poisoned." Jack replied, "It's just that it's possible that he's been poisoned." He paused, "Even if you really hit it...... After taking this antidote, you'll be fine. Still, to be on the safe side, I recommend that you go to the hospital tomorrow for a blood test. ”

"Neurotic!" Angel scolded as she began to get dressed, "I'll tell you...... I won't get the money back, do you know who I am? If something happens to me, don't you want to run away! ”

Jack doesn't know who she is, but he can basically guess that Angel is a high-end product in "that industry", and even the top class; In addition to that very convincing body, her behavior of using her mobile phone to call people immediately when she encounters a situation is also good evidence.

Bang Bang Bang –

Soon, there was a knock on the door to the room.

Just by listening to the knock on the door, you can tell that there is a man outside the door.

This is undoubtedly the "bodyguard" called by Angel, and only the "high-end products" with a high price can be kept on standby nearby when doing business, so as not to encounter any situation.

"I'll drive it." When Jack said this, he had already taken out a bottle of wine from the Xiaoice cabinet next to the bed, and then walked towards the door.

"Huh!" Angel sneered when she saw this, and responded in a soft tone, "Okay~"

Her bodyguard is two meters tall, as strong as a cow, and she also played mixed martial arts when she was younger; In Angel's opinion, a guy like Jack, who is about 1.85 meters and doesn't look fat or thin, let alone holding a wine bottle, is not an opponent for her bodyguards even with a knife or a bat.

Click-

A few seconds later, Angel heard the door open, followed by a few not-so-loud conversations in the hallway outside the door, followed by a few short, muffled noises and the sound of someone falling to the ground.

Hearing those movements, Angel smirked and whispered, "Humph...... Deserve. ”

By this time, her clothes were almost dressed, and she leisurely put on the last pair of stockings, straightened her hair, and got up to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up, she heard the door closing again.

Then, Jack's figure reappeared.

He walked back to the living room with steady breathing and nonchalant, as if he had just gone to the door to get a newspaper, and his clothes and hair were not messy.

Still, for some reason...... The bottle in his hand was empty.

"You ......," Angel looked at Jack in dismay, "this...... He ......"

"Your friend may have to sleep for a while." Jack said calmly and walked over to the bed.

Angel retreated to the wall and slowly moved towards the door: "Listen...... Man, I'm ......."

"Sit down." Jack didn't listen to her at all, and said two more words in an unquestioning tone.

Angel listened, and her legs went limp...... Just a duck sat and slumped on the carpet.

"Hello? Front desk? Well...... Yes, there's a drunken man lying on the floor in the hallway at my door, probably drunk, can you find someone to carry him away? Well...... Okay, it's okay, goodbye. Jack calmly made an internal call to the front desk and asked the family to come and wash the floor.

After the fight, he walked over to Angel, under the horrified gaze of the other party...... Helped her up and sat her on the bed.

Jack himself, on the other hand, walked to a corner of the room, in a corner away from all doors and windows, leaning against the wall with his back to him, and said, "In the year 10, there was a guy who was immoral in the Sakura Mansion who invented a poison. He spoke at an unhurried pace, as if trying to keep Angel up with his train of thought, "This medicine is ineffective on men, and at most it can cause insomnia, but if women take it, their bodies will become a moving petri dish within an hour; The poison acts on women's endocrine and reproductive systems continuously, and although the process does not cause them any discomfort, after 24 hours, when the intensity of the poison exceeds a certain threshold, they die. ”

At this point, he paused for a few seconds before adding, "Another characteristic of this poison is that during the period before the outbreak of toxicity, if the infected woman has sex with a man, then the toxin will also be accompanied by her secretions...... It penetrates into a man's body through the skin or some other route.

"Men who are infected through this form die quickly within 30 minutes, and there is no cure.

"On the other hand, women, as long as they take the antidote before the poison occurs, will be fine and will not be re-infected.

"In the circle, we call this medicine 'praying mantis', which means...... You can experience it for yourself. ”

At this point, he paused for a moment.

After a moment, Angel looked at him with a blank expression: "You mean...... I...... The medicine you just gave me was ......"

Jack nodded and continued, "It's the antidote to the 'praying mantis'." ”

Angel's mind was a little confused now, and because what the other party said was too mysterious, she couldn't tell for a moment whether the person in front of her was a madman who was pulling some kind of imagination, or a bully and cool agent.

But one thing is for sure, the person who can easily bring down her bodyguard is definitely not something she can deal with...... Of course, in bed is a different story.

"You're here today for a reason." After a few more seconds, Jack spoke again, "'Praying Mantis' is not usually used on people in your industry, as you are likely to cause the death of others before you make contact with the target, resulting in the failure of the operation. But...... 'Luxury' like yours, is the exception. ”

"Thank you." Angel pursed her lips and shrugged her lips.

"Someone knows where I am and invites you here at a great price, and he/she knows that when the hotel staff sees you, they will open the door and enter my room for you with superficiality and malice." Jack continued, "And he/she, he/she, is hiding somewhere, waiting to see my good show...... Or, waiting for some kind of opportunity. ”

"Big brother...... Who are you? Angel squinted at Jack and swallowed nervously.

"You'd better not know." Jack dismissed the other party's question with a single sentence, and immediately changed the conversation and said, "Now...... Since I didn't scan any surveillance equipment in my room, I assume that they were waiting for something to happen in some adjacent room up and down, or in a building near this hotel. ”

He paused slightly, and then continued: "The episode caused by your bodyguard may have attracted the attention of the other party, but it may not have ...... Anyway, I think it's good enough to do the trick. He held out his hand and made a "please" motion, "Miss Angel, please begin." ”

"Open...... What to start? Angel was also stunned, there is still a solo for this kind of thing?

"Scream." Jack said.

"Call?" The corners of Angel's mouth twitched, and she squinted at Jack and said, "Am I alone? In bed? Call? ”

"Yes." "Please shout louder, preferably at a volume that will cause complaints from the tenants around you, and if you find it convenient, you can step rhythmically on the mattress." ”

"Oh......" Angel laughed dryly, and then, with a loveless expression and rolled her eyes, there she was, "Ahhh Oh, my God! Whew, Fack! Yes! That's it! He called.
