A man and a woman looked at each other, confused.

After the aristocratic man reacted, his face immediately became gloomy, and while muttering something in his mouth, he glared at Ji Ye viciously, and then turned around and disappeared around the corner.

Ji Ye said something bad in her heart, but just as she wanted to catch up, she was blocked by two or three aristocratic men who wanted to invite her to dance the opening dance, and she couldn't get out immediately.

Himeba: "......"

Tut.

It turns out that cramming education on etiquette these days is not useless, at least now Ji Ye even if he is irritable, he still instinctively raised a smile, remained elegant, and said quickly: "Sorry, excellent gentlemen, but I am now inconvenienced, so I have more than enough energy, if I can, I hope it will be convenient, I will thank you." ”

After saying that, after a perfunctory but clean salute, without waiting for the reaction of a few people, after lightly changing a few steps to bypass several aristocratic men blocking the road, he resolutely broke through the crowd and chased in the direction of the corner.

Several aristocratic men who were left on the ground and looked at each other: "......"

The door to leave the banquet hall was pushed open by the aristocratic man who hurried away, so that Himeha left the banquet hall unhindered and stepped onto the empty corridor outside the door.

Alas...... Still running, a step slower.

Ji Ye sighed, but instead of returning the way he came, he looked left and right, and found that no matter which side of the corridor he went, it would give the noble man enough time to leave the corridor, and immediately shifted his gaze to the carpet under his feet.

The carpet made of fine wool is too soft to absorb the sound of footsteps falling on it, but the footprints on it are relatively visible.

Ji Ye carefully identified it by the candlelight on the wall, and sure enough, he found that there was a large area of mess on the carpet on the left, probably the traces left by the guests entering the banquet one after another.

Compared to the left, the carpet on the right is still messy, but it is still relatively tidy. The stampede was also more regular, and the pattern was not as obvious as the footprints left on the left, apparently the traces left by the servants of the manor as they set up the hall before the feast began.

Ji Ye took a closer look and found that on the blanket on the right, there was an abrupt footprint that was extremely conspicuous, with a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder-like messy beauty, and at first glance it was a fox tail that had just been printed a few seconds after it was freshly baked.

I can't run, this is it!

After Ji Ye confirmed the direction, he didn't delay, and lifted the skirt that was too obstructive and chased after him with a brisk walk.

She was already known for her speed, and coupled with the enhancement of the previous body forging medicinal bath, she rushed to the corner of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Oh, that's an exaggeration. Ji Ye obviously didn't adapt to his current physical fitness, so he stumbled for a while because he rushed too hard.

But there wasn't much time for her to get used to it right now, and she walked down briefly, and before she could stabilize herself, she found that the noble man from before had begun to run upstairs at this time.

The speed is not slow, so that in this gap when Ji Ye stumbled, he had already run to the position on the second floor.

Himeba: "......"

What the hell is this Hollywood-style chase plot?

Ji Ye briefly glanced back behind him, and saw that there was no one behind him as the sixth child, so he raised his legs and chased after him again.

But compared to just now, in order to avoid losing control, she slowed down her running speed a little this time, and she was not as brave as she rushed just now.

But because of this, the aristocratic man took advantage of this time period to rush to the end of the corridor on the second floor, and after noticing Ji Ye who was catching up behind him, he cursed and opened the door and entered the room at the end of the corridor.

Ji Ye didn't think much about it when he saw this, jumped twice, and instinctively rushed to the door and planned to rush in.

It was only the moment his hand was on the doorknob that Ji Ye suddenly realized something extremely inconsistent, that is, since he knew that she was chasing him, why did he enter this room in front of her?

Himeba: "......"

…… !

The moment the scalp was numb for a moment, and Ji Ye's pupils contracted like a needle, a clear warning suddenly appeared in his mind.

Ghosts!

And at this moment, there was a sound similar to that made when the trigger was pulled in the room, which was really creepy, so Ji Ye didn't think about it, and directly crossed over from the wooden door to the position by the wall.

"Bang!"

With a crisp gunshot, the wooden door panel, which was eight centimeters thick, was blasted out of a round hole the size of a baby's fist!

Wow go......

Himeha whistled. What a grumpy firepower...... Trolls?

In view of the experience that "the gun is fast outside seven steps, and the gun is fast and accurate within seven steps", Ji Ye did not have the slightest idea of facing the gun head-on for this kind of firearm that did not know whether it could be fired continuously, but thought for a moment, and planned to take advantage of the fact that the other party had not opened the door yet, and quietly touched into the next room, so as to fight in a roundabout way.

Although he didn't know what was in the next room, Ji Ye didn't hesitate to act, and after trying to lock the doorknob, he directly bent his elbow and smashed the door lock cleanly, and then walked in calmly.

Almost at the same time, there was a sudden sound of the wooden door being kicked open and slamming against the wall.

Himeba: "......"

Smoothly closing the wooden door, which is no longer useful, but can still serve as a cover and stall for time.

Luckily for her, not only was there no one in the room next door, but it was also a barn with cleaning items. Although it looks a bit chicken, it is a good relief for Himeha's current unarmed situation.

Picking up the mop pole by the door with his backhand, Ji Ye lifted and jumped, and quietly climbed the wall above the wooden door with only one hand, and stabilized his figure.

Then, taking advantage of the length of the mop rod, he hooked up the barrel that was placed on the ground.

There was something wrong with the weight, Ji Ye raised his eyebrows, and it was estimated that the barrel might still contain half a bucket of water.

And then the next moment - "Bang! ”

Once again, the wooden door was shot through a hole by a gun, and because there was no lock, it was even blown into a half-open state.

Sure enough, this power ...... It's a troll, right?

Himeha held her breath and clinged firmly to the wall with one hand, staring at the doorway below where the light was shining in, without squeaking.

Until, a slender shadow peeked in through the door, and then immediately after, a slender muzzle was cautiously exposed through the crack in the door to Himeba's line of sight.

Himeba: "......?" ”

Weird...... It's not even a troll.

It's almost there, though......

Ji Ye clenched the mop pole in his hand and silently thought in his heart, a little closer, a little closer.

Until, the pitch-black shadow completely enveloped the candlelight outside the door, and revealed an unsuspecting back of the head facing Himeba, and then let out a puzzled sound......

"Huh? What about people? ”

All right!

Now is the time!
