Chapter 159: Sophie's Secret
Between the bar in front and the courtyard in the back, there was a narrow bungalow, where the proprietress Sophie rested and cooked, and Bud and Julia had just gotten into the room, but it had taken them more than an hour to rummage through everything and find nothing.
Sophie didn't say a word, she stood in the courtyard and listened to the movement around her, and after making sure that no one was there, she slowly walked to the door of the cellar, put the candlestick in her hand on a small protruding platform on the wall, and then took out a large string of keys and fiddled with it for a while, and finally opened the door of the cellar.
Sophie's cellar is a little different from the usual cellar in that it has a slightly higher platform at the exit from the outside, and it is necessary to walk up several steps to enter the cellar before opening the door to the cellar, which prevents rainwater from pouring into the cellar, and the part of the cellar on the ground also looks like a small house.
Sophie picked up the candlestick again and walked slowly inside, her footsteps slowly disappearing in the cellar passage. After a few minutes or so, Bard and Julia crept to the entrance of the open cellar, and the two of them walked in side by side without the slightest hesitation.
Not long after Bard and Julia entered, Ryan and Vivien faintly heard a heavy thud coming from inside the cellar, as if a door had been shut, and then a sound of footsteps came from the cellar passage, and the proprietress Sophie walked out empty-handed.
"Hmph, two thieves dare to steal from me!" Sophie stood at the door of the cellar and said softly, "Now enjoy yourself inside, and tomorrow I will find someone to arrest you all." ”
At this moment there was a faint slapping sound from inside the cellar passage, probably Bud and Julia knocking on the door inside, Sophie smiled and said in a mocking tone: "That wooden door is hundreds of pounds to say the least, and the outside is inlaid with iron sheets, unless you use a sledgehammer, you can't help it at all." ”
Sophie slammed the cellar door shut as she spoke, and after locking it, she hummed a happy tune to her bedroom. And because of the barriers, the sound from inside Bard's cellar could no longer be heard on the ground, and even Ryan and them, who were hiding outside the wall, could only hear a rather faint sound, which was almost negligible under the cold wind in the middle of the night.
"Oops, the two of them are locked inside. Vivien whispered in Ryan's ear, "Do you want to save them right away?"
"It shouldn't be a problem to shut up for a few hours, right?" replied Ryan with some hesitation, "If you don't teach them two a lesson, I'm afraid something like this will happen again in the future." ”
"Whatever you want, you're my master anyway. Vivien put the decision directly on Ryan.
Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer. ”
"Well, Adams knows about the three of us anyway, as long as he doesn't delay tomorrow's trip, he won't say anything. Vivien said.
The three of them waited for a while, only to find that Sophie had returned to her room and slept soundly, which surprised Ryan, who had thought she would bring food and water to the fugitives hiding in the secret room.
Ryan 3 people climbed over the wall into the courtyard, and soon came to the outside of the boss lady Sophie's bedroom, Vivian originally planned to use a scimitar to pry open the door along the crack of the door, but Ryan's movements were faster than her, and he directly raised his hand on the wooden door, and then Vivian only felt a heat in front of him, and the door that didn't look very strong was directly turned into ashes by Ryan's fire magic.
Ryan walked into the room with her head held high, Vivien followed closely with Barbara, there was no moon in the night sky, only a few stars, with the help of this light, Ryan and they entered the room and saw the Sophie proprietress half-crouched on the bed in her close-fitting underwear, and she also held two daggers in her hands.
"Who are you?" asked Sophie in a low voice.
Ryan didn't answer, he stretched out his left hand in front of Sophie, and spread the scorching flame energy in his palm, so that Sophie saw a burning palm.
"Okay, I've been incognito for so many years, and you still found me. Sophie misunderstood Ryan's identity, half-squatted on the bed and said hatefully: "I just want to live an ordinary life, I have asked myself all these years that I have not leaked the slightest secret about you, why do you refuse to let me go?"
Ryan never expected that he would accidentally let Sophie say this, it seems that the proprietress of the bar is not an ordinary ordinary person, but Ryan also knows that he can't speak, because if he doesn't know the truth, once he speaks, he is likely to make the other party realize that he is an impostor.
Ryan didn't speak, just snorted softly, and Vivien, who was standing behind him, immediately stepped forward with understanding, she shook her wrist as she walked, making the two scimitars in her hands make a rapid sound of breaking through the air, making Sophie's face change, but since it has come to this point, and there are 3 people on the other side, she has to fight if she doesn't want to.
"Ding!" Vivien's wrist trembled, and the scimitar in her hand gently pushed Sophie's dagger away, and then turned into several phantoms and slashed at Sophie's neck, shoulder, and chest, while Vivien's other hand controlled the scimitar to lay a knife light in front of her to prevent Sophie's dagger from sneaking up on her.
Sophie's bedroom is very cramped, it is impossible to give her too much space to move, and Sophie is very afraid of Ryan who is standing on the sidelines, and tries to avoid approaching him, so she can only maintain a half-squatting position on the bed all the time, which makes her completely lose her mobility in battle.
In Vivian's continuous fast attack, Sophie can only be tired of coping, she has been strictly trained, but what she is best at is not in martial arts, so in the face of Vivian wearing a poisonous scorpion lion beast skin armor, Sophie is powerless to fight back, if Vivian is really the killer who came to kill her, I'm afraid Sophie would have died a long time ago.
Even so, Vivien's scimitar still slashed at Sophie's body several times, but Vivien didn't intend to hurt anyone, and the blade of the scimitar only slid on Sophie's skin, cutting off a piece of her underwear, but it didn't damage her skin in the slightest.
Sophie now understood that the other party did not intend to take her own life for the time being, and she immediately remembered the punishment of traitors in the organization, especially the cruelty of betrayers to those women, she had only seen it once, but she still often woke up in nightmares to this day.
Although the night was dark, Sophie could still see the gender of the three of them clearly by relying on the starlight, and also knew that the other party's trip was dominated by Ryan, a male, it seemed that the female killer who fought with herself must have been instructed by the male leader to do so, in order not to let herself fall into endless pain, Sophie gritted her teeth and threw a dagger at Vivien.
Vivien took half a step back, flicked the scimitar in her hand, and picked off the dagger thrown by Sophie, and Sophie fought for this little time, she forced Vivien half a step away with one move, and stabbed the dagger in her heart with the other hand without hesitation. It's a pity that Sophie's plan is not as fast as the change, and when her dagger has touched her underwear, a purple ball comes first, hitting the front of the dagger in her hand, and the huge impact directly knocks the dagger out of the air, and Vivien takes a step forward and puts the scimitar on her neck.
It was Barbara who released this magic missile, and Sophie didn't expect that the other party's little girl, who looked very young, was also a magician, she knew that she would not be spared tonight, so in order not to be insulted, Sophie directly used her neck to find the blade of Vivien's scimitar.
The corners of Vivien's mouth curled, and her wrist flipped slightly, and by the time Sophie's neck touched the scimitar in her hand, it had already turned into the back of the knife. Sophie didn't give up, she clenched her teeth hard, trying to bite her tongue and kill herself, but unfortunately she was half a beat slower, and one of Ryan's hands pressed on her shoulder half a step faster than hers.
The powerful electricity passed through Ryan's palm and into Sophie's body, and Sophie collapsed on the bed, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't even move her fingers, and she couldn't even close her slightly open lips. Watching Ryan look himself up and down, Sophie's heart kept sinking, the sharp pain in her flesh was nothing, and Sophie knew that the pain she had to endure next was far more terrible than now.
At this time, Sophie, who was lying on the bed on her side, was full of indescribable temptation, her lips were slightly open, and she was only wearing pajamas, and how long and torn it was, revealing her ruddy skin, although she was in her 30s, her chest was still firm, her waist was still flat, and her long legs were even more exciting, and every inch of skin on her body was full of the charm of a mature woman, and this attraction was by no means what a young girl could bring to a man.
To Sophie's surprise, Ryan looked her up and down, and after making sure she didn't have any messy magic charms or anything like that, she left the bedside, while Vivien, who was fighting her, came over and wrapped her body in a blanket. Sophie thought that the other party didn't plan to be here ** herself, after all, this is Mori, although it is only a small town, but there are tens of thousands of tourists passing by.
Now Sophie regrets her choice very much, she thought that she would avoid the other party's sight if she was in this kind of crowded place, but she still fell into the hands of the other party, and she knew that Sophie would rather run into the barren mountains and mountains, or simply take a boat to find a deserted island with no people.
Sophie can't figure it out anyway, she has obviously changed her appearance with a magic mask, and now she speaks and looks completely different from before, and she has also worked hard to change her original habits, actions and words for so many years, it can be said that the current Sophie is simply another woman, how can she be discovered?
