Chapter 12: The Silver-White Dagger

Qin Qi faced these six menacing robbers, not messing around, first kicked the first robber at the head of the row, and by the way, he crushed the two people behind him to the ground, and then quickly bent down to dodge the blades of the two scimitars, passed through the gap between the two, and pierced the chest of the last robber with a sword.

After snatching the scimitar from the robber's hand, Qin Qi twisted his body and flung it, and the scimitar spun around in the air a few times, grazed the necks of the two people in front of him, and stuck straight into the wall. The two subconsciously blocked the wound with their hands, but unfortunately the blood gushing out of the arteries squeezed out desperately from between their fingers, and they fell to the ground with a painfully twisted face. The person who pressed on the two robbers just wanted to stand up, but was pressed down by Qin Qi's kick, Qin Qi with the anger of these robbers just now by the long lake, holding his sword in both hands, stabbed downward, blood was beating, splashing on his face, becoming a wisp of "color" on the snow-white wall.

It wasn't until the robber under his feet was motionless that Qin Qi regained his senses, he pulled out the sword inserted in the robber's chest, and looked behind him, only to find that everyone was frightened, no one dared to speak, and they were all staring at him with a frightened expression. Qin Qi turned his head again and looked at Ling Yue, who was also squatting on the corner of the wall at this time, covering his eyes with his hands and not daring to look down.

"Come down," Qin Qi covered the tablecloth on a large table in the room over the bloody corpse, "I can't see it now." ”

Lingyue opened her eyes, looked at her feet, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and was about to go down, only to find that this height was not something she could control.

"No, it's too high." Lingyue shrank into the corner of the wall one by one.

Qin Qi put away his sword, stretched out his hands, and made a posture to respond.

"It's okay, jump down, I'll catch you."

"This ・・・・・・" Lingyue looked a little restrained. Tans, who was taking care of General Radiq on the side, couldn't sit still, he threw down the cloth in his hand and shouted at Lingyue: "Lingyue, you wait, I'll come right away." ”

With that, he trotted over and left General Radic in place, who didn't look very happy.

When this Lingyue heard Tans say that he was coming, she hurriedly jumped down from the corner of the wall, and fell into Qin Qi's arms in an instant. Growing so big, no one else had ever hugged him like this except for Bethleto, and Ling Yue simply enjoyed that brief moment of warmth and hurriedly slipped off Qin Qi's hand.

When Tans saw this scene, his excitement was like a flame falling into the freezer, and it was instantly extinguished, but there was still something that rekindled in his heart, and that was jealousy.

Qin Qi watched Lingyue slip away from him embarrassedly, he noticed Tans's angry eyes, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it, compared to this, the matter of the house inside interested him more.

"Bump!" The wooden door was kicked open by Qin Qi, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground. But what entered Qin Qi's eyes surprised him.

"What about people?" At this time, only the corpse of Viscount de Mayin was left in the room, and the bald old man was gone. Qin Qi anxiously searched the house, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, basically looking for all the places where people could hide, but unfortunately he couldn't see a round and shiny thing.

"Impossible!" Qin Qi pushed hard onto the king's chair to vent his frustration, because he needed to find the bald head, and the silver dagger was the only clue he had to find a way home.

At this time, Lingyue and Stan also walk in. Tans looked at the chaotic room, and he also noticed that the bald head was missing, so he showed a smug smile and waved his hand at Qin Qi.

"Well, it looks like you let that their boss run away, Qin Qi."

"What did you say?!" Qin Qi turned his head and looked at Tans angrily, the long sword in his hand had already revealed its white blade.

"You, what do you want?" Seeing that the situation was not right, Tans hurriedly took a few steps back, "I'm the vice-captain. ”

"You two go aside," Lingyue pushed the two of them to the side from the middle, "this is not the time to quarrel. Qin Qi did not let go of the robbers. ”

"So, where is that guy?" Tans gestured around the room and continued to argue.

Lingyue tapped Tans on the head with her staff, looked around carefully for a while, and suddenly seemed to think of something. So she walked up to the two of them and began her lesson. Seeing this, Qin Qi let go of his grip on the long sword, stood up straight, and listened to Lingyue's analysis.

"In the process of building a building like a government building, there will definitely be a special passage for escape. And this passage is usually located in the residence of important people, such as the current committee lounge. So, the robber must have gotten this information during the interrogation. ”

Ling Yue pointed to the oil painting behind Qin Qi against the wall. "Don't you think there's something wrong with this painting?"

Qin Qi turned around to look at the portrait behind him. A larger oil painting depicts a servant lifting a curtain, and an aristocratic man burrowing behind the curtain. There is nothing strange about this painting itself, but in Qin Qi's opinion, there is indeed something wrong with hanging such a simple painting in such a high-level place as the committee lounge. And this oil painting also has a bit of a secret passage, Qin Qi couldn't help but walk in front of the oil painting and remove the oil painting with his hand.

As expected, the entrance of a passage was in front of him, Qin Qi took off the cloak on his body, and immediately climbed into the passage, the passage was not very big, and he could only barely squeeze in one person.

At this time, Lingyue walked up to Qin Qi and said softly: "Qin Qi, this is a bit dangerous, do you think it's better not to chase it?" ”

Tans knew that he was at a loss after seeing the passage, but he was still haunted by the moment when Qin Qi hugged Lingyue just now, and he immediately found another opportunity.

"Qin Qi, you go after that robber immediately. I'm here to take care of these people. "Tans has never missed any opportunity to not let the light of others be reflected between him and Lingyue, he needs Qin Qi to leave, the longer the better.

No one knew what Qin Qi was so nervous about chasing the robbers, and Tans was just an ignorant person to Qin Qi. When Qin Qi saw Lingyue's compassionate eyes, he remembered Luo Zhilan, in his own world, only Luo Zhilan would look at him with such pitying eyes, even his grandfather had never shown such care to himself, although Qin Qi already knew that Mr. Chen was not his grandfather.

These thoughts strengthened his determination to go back, and he had to find a way back. Thinking of this, Qin Qi couldn't help but speed up his crawling. Lingyue put her hand on her chest behind him and secretly said a few words of blessing.

Qin Qi couldn't see anything in the passage, he only knew that he could climb forward, the passage was inclined downward, and it was not difficult to get up. Fortunately, the people who designed this passage back then were still quite humane, the walls were all smooth stone bricks, the air was smooth, there was no smell of dampness and decay, there was no fork in the road, but a few turns always let Qin Qi hit the wall. After more than ten minutes of blind touching, Qin Qi finally found the exit.

The exit is an underground drain with an arched top and an extremely long rectangular glass that runs down the sewer, emitting a fluorescent, pale blue light. The bricks on the walls were all corroded by the water and had a thick layer of dirt, but there was not even a drop of water in the entire sewer, the air was very dry, and the floor was full of dusty fallen leaves and some small animals that had turned into mummies.

Qin Qi looked at this tall, spacious tunnel-like sewer, and he had no other feeling in his heart except surprise. It stands to reason that the cities that deserve such large sewers should be counted in the world as London and Paris, not as small as Long Lake Town. Qin Qi looked around him and found that this sewer had been abandoned for a long time, and the time would never be so small as a few years.

"When~" A crisp collision sound came from behind, Qin Qi looked back and found that a silver-white dagger had fallen ten meters away from him, and after a closer look, a small piece of hemp rope was shaking at the top of the sewer. It was clear that someone was climbing up with a rope.

Qin Qi calmly walked under the rope and looked up, there was a square hole on it, which seemed to be the place where the water flowed down. Qin Qi grabbed the end of the rope, pulled it down with all his strength, and kept this strength, and after a while, he felt the feeling of the rope breaking, and at the same time, a shout came from above.

Qin Qi quickly vacated a vacant space, only to see that the bald head that had interrogated Viscount De Ma Ying in the room just now fell heavily on the stone slab, and after a burst of white smoke disappeared, he was half lying on the sewer, the palms of his two hands grinded out blood, his calves twisted and turned back, and anger and pain surged on his face at the same time.

"Ah~" The bald head stared at Qin Qi painfully, and his eyes were about to squeeze out. Qin Qi's expression didn't change much, he threw the hemp rope in his hand everywhere, pointed to the dagger on the ground, and asked quietly, "Who gave you this dagger?" ”

The bald head did not respond to Qin Qi's intentions. He dragged his body to the side so that his hand could reach the dagger, and then he picked up the dagger and swung it towards Qin Qi's feet, in a dying struggle.

Qin Qi symbolically dodged back, he slowly pulled out his long sword, drove it to the bald neck, pressed the blade against his neck, and repeated the sentence again with an expressionless face.

"Who gave you this dagger?"

The bald head looked down at Qin Qi's long sword, put down the dagger in his hand, and took a deep breath.

"Hahaha" looked at Qin Qi with a bald head and suddenly burst out laughing. The wild laughter echoed through the sewers, and for a long time, he removed the sword with his fingers, and tugged at his own leg, and after a long time, he was willing to say a few words.

"You are a recruit, how do you know this dagger," the bald head looked at the brand-new border guard uniform on Qin Qi's body, "This dagger is not something that ordinary people have." ”

"I just want to know who gave it to you." Although Qin Qi had an urge to kill his bald head in his mind, in order to get clues, he kept pressing his emotions.

"This is the honor of the Blackstone Staff Society, and a mortal like you would not know about it." The bald head glanced at Qin Qi with disdain. It was this simple glance that made Qin Qi's sane defense completely collapse. A bright red blood instantly splashed on the gray wall, and the bald head fell to the ground weakly, Qin Qi picked up the dagger, and carefully observed the dagger through the faint blue light on the top of the sewer, those strange runes were particularly dazzling.
