On the second floor of the building, in the bright corridor, a black guard stood guard in front of one of the wooden doors, staring motionlessly ahead. Perhaps because of excessive fatigue, or perhaps because of extreme boredom, this guard kept staring at the wall in front of him.
The guard did not notice the movement of the wooden door behind him at all.
The door was first pushed open a crack, and then suddenly opened. Before the guard could react, two big hands strangled his neck, covered his mouth, and then dragged him into the room behind the door.
In the past, slight sounds of falling to the ground and dragging were heard one after another. A moment later, a figure belonging to Duan Qing appeared in that place. He checked the situation in the corridor again and made sure that no one was there before he ducked down.
He walked out and quietly closed the door.
After turning a corner and quietly observing the patrol of the guard in front, Duan Qing glanced at the two half-open doors opposite and counted silently in his heart.
"Three, two, one... let's go!"
Leaning forward and exerting force on his feet, he pounced forward, followed by a landing roll, and slipped in between the two half-open doors. The silent movements and precise angle selection made him appear not far away.
The patrolling guard was unaware of it, because when Duan Qing chose to roll, he just turned around and walked to the other side.
But this is no reason for Duan Qing to relax.
The large room he just sneaked into seemed to be a living room for reception. Various gold and silver utensils that still showed the noble status of the owner were placed in an orderly manner around the living room. The walls were painted gold and hung on
It was filled with all kinds of oil paintings and statues. On the huge and long and narrow dining table, exquisite tableware was neatly arranged. However, judging from the use of some of the tableware and some food residues left inside, it should have been here before.
Entertained certain people.
"Tsk, it's trouble without a map." Duan Qing muttered to himself, then quickly stood up and moved to the side of the dining table: "If they just finished eating..."
Click——
Things unfolded as Duan Qing expected. The door on the other side of the living room was pushed open, and a guy dressed as a servant walked in from the door pushing a cart. The sound of clanking was then heard by Duan Qing.
, it seems that the servant is cleaning up the place.
"If it's not a guard, then we won't do anything..."
Muttering casually, Duan Qing slowly moved around the long table following the sound of the dining cart and cleaning up. At a certain point, he raised his hand and touched something from the dining table.
Duan Qing slipped out from another door and walked forward while paying attention to his surroundings. Finally, when he passed the third door, he heard the sound of neat footsteps in front of him.
"Um?"
When the guard who came over looked here doubtfully, the situation in front of him seemed to be no different from the scene in his memory, except for a glimmer of light leaking out of the crack in the door that was about to be closed - the person hiding in it.
Duan Qing listened carefully for a while, and after making sure no one was following him, he began to carefully examine the small room.
This seems to be a storage room, but even if it is a storage room, the items stored in it are extremely luxurious and orderly. However, the abandoned gold and silver jewelry, as well as the weapons that seem to be usable, are not attractive.
With Duan Qing's attention, he searched this place for a while and found what he wanted to find - it was a pile of abandoned books.
"Okay, let me take a look..." Checking the contents of those books, Duan Qing read loudly: "Anjie's Fairy Tale... Something for children. Cabinburg Shopping Guide? Connelly, you are awesome... Lolly
Silk Kiss, my god... I actually still have the receipt from Jira Club, what is that place for, is it a red light district?"
After rummaging through the random books for a while, he found nothing useful. Duan Qing sighed helplessly, and then got up from the ground. But just when he wanted to pick up two useful things before leaving, if there was
The sound of Ruowu's conversation came faintly from the partition wall of this room.
"Um?"
Duan Qing, who hadn't noticed before, quickly held his breath and leaned against the wall.
"How was... before?"
"He still refuses...Should we..."
"Impossible, we have already reached this point... You go and tell him that this is the last..."
"W-isn't this not too..."
"Everything is for... for this, the necessary sacrifice is..."
The intermittent content had already made Duan Qing frown slightly, but just when he was trying to find a better position to find out the information about the conversation between the two people in the next room, a piercing alarm suddenly appeared.
In the air inside and outside the building, the originally quiet atmosphere was completely broken.
"Could it be...!"
A bad premonition flashed through his heart. Duan Qing looked around the storage room, and then hurriedly rushed to the door. The next moment, the sound he wanted to hear came from the door.
"What happened?"
"Someone has invaded your mansion, Lord Tusker. Lord Cohen has..."
"Then why are you still standing there? Go catch the intruders! Don't let them run away!"
"yes!"
The sound of messy footsteps passed in front of him. When the sound of closing the door was heard again, Duan Qing put away the dagger in his hand and opened the door in front of him. He determined the direction and then headed to the side of the corridor.
Ran over.
Emergency stops, rolls, collisions - barely avoiding the sight of the guards who were running frequently, Duan Qing found the direction he came from before, randomly selected a room, and broke in. Fortunately,
This was obviously a room belonging to a woman, and no one was there at this time.
He rushed to the window in a few steps, opened the purple curtains covering the window, and then squinted his eyes and looked out - a black and red figure ran across the green lawn at an extremely fast speed.
, but the guards in black clothes pulling behind him can almost be described as a train.
"Damn it, do you need to pull off such a big battle?"
Complaining these words, Duan Qing still pulled down part of the curtain, then wrapped it casually, covering his face.
"Today is a waste...it's better to leave first."
The sound of breaking through the air came from the air - a man wearing a purple mask just walked out of the broken window on the second floor, then jumped down, and ran in the same direction with the sound of wind amid the exclamations of the guards around him.
stand up.
****************
"Huh...huh...ouch!"
Staggering under her feet, Mengzhu did not fall to the ground like the previous similar scene, but rolled skillfully on the spot, then put one hand on the ground, kept her body low and continued running. Someone chasing her came from behind.
The guards shouted the same, but the shouts were much more frightening, and they were not directed in this direction.
She looked back and unexpectedly saw the masked figure of Duan Qing.
"Split up and run!"
A low growl came out from under the purple veil, and the masked man jumped up, jumped over the fence, and then ran in the opposite direction to the main entrance. As if subconsciously
In response, she climbed over the fence on her hands and knees, and then ran south - that's the direction they came from before.
"hateful……"
The rushing guards only hesitated for a moment, and then decisively divided into two groups. Most of them chased the man in the alley where he was running, and only some of them rushed towards her. They swept her in a hurry.
Glancing at the gathering place they had agreed upon before, she turned back and ran towards the corner where they had observed the situation before. However, that place was empty now, and there were only a few passers-by who didn't know the truth, and the man standing at the original place.
On the ground, the disheveled bard was still arguing with the guards.
The hot breath suddenly appeared behind her - a huge fireball fell towards the front of her running at an extremely fast speed. There was a burning breath in the air, and the black smoke brought by the fireball
, dragging a long tail after the flight trajectory.
The next moment, Mengzhu, who couldn't dodge, pounced forward, then got up and hugged his head——
Boom!
The imaginary explosion and fiery breath did not come to her as she imagined - a barrier suddenly appeared around her, blocking the fireball.
The thoughts in her mind paused for a moment. She let go of her arm, looked up at her head, and found that the barrier in front of her was not a powerful magic wall or shield.
It's not a thing, but a real figure.
"Why did you push me!"
"Who are you……"
The person who was in doubt was not the girl lying on the ground behind, but a figure that gradually appeared among the guards - a player named Chenyu Canfeng shook his arms and walked slowly in front of the stopped pursuers: "You are
…Which one?”
"Why did you push me!"
The bard with a tattered cloak and disheveled hair ignored his question, but continued to shout loudly in the direction where he was before: "Are you being unreasonable?"
In that direction, the guard who had been fighting with him before looked at everyone here with a confused expression, as if the series of things that happened in the previous moment did not appear in his proper logic.
"You, you!" The bard pulled off the towel covering his face, pointed at everyone in front of him and shouted loudly: "You actually dare to bully the minority! Heart...I will retaliate against you!"
Several guards looked at each other hesitantly. Chenyu Canyue, who also looked helpless, cleared his throat, then stretched out his hand and explained: "We are chasing an escaped intruder, and we don't mean to offend you, so...
…”
"What are you chasing? Who ran away? Who is going to run away?"
"Ah? It's not you, but the one behind you..."
Following Chenyu Canyue's finger, everyone turned their attention to the place behind the crazy-looking man - there was no one there anymore.
"...girl...fuck?"
Chenyu Canyue shouted: "Where is she? Where did she go?"
The commotion slowly rose from among the guards. Chenyu Canyue looked at the empty front and the back alley where there was no one, and an unbelievable light rose in her eyes: "Just disappeared like that? Could she still be there in an instant?
Can’t move?”
"you……"
As if something was confirmed, the bard took a deep breath, and then shouted: "Are you kidding me?"
"Ah? No, it's not..."
"Stop talking nonsense! If I don't settle this account with you today, I won't be done with you!"
He rolled up the tattered cuffs on both hands, and then rushed towards Chen Yu Can Yue's face with bared teeth and claws. Seeing the crazy appearance of the bard, Chen Yu Can Yue, who had always been casual and indifferent, also covered his head in panic.
My head screamed: "Brother Chestnut——"
The Brother Banli he was talking about had no time to take care of the situation here, because he had already followed most of the guards to the other direction of the road. However, in that direction, he encountered different problems——
A moment ago, the pursuers passed by a house under construction, and then at the next corner, Chestnut, who was running at the front, was attacked by bricks that suddenly flew towards him.
"Hey, this is the method..."
He tilted his head and simply let go of the black shadow as big as a brick, but the scream that followed shocked his heart - a guard running behind him couldn't dodge and was turned by the brick.
The head was hit directly in the face.
No way, it must be a coincidence... Banli thought in his heart.
The sound of wind came from in front of him again. After returning to his senses, Banli subconsciously flashed, and then looked behind him - as expected, a guard following behind was hit in the forehead by the brick, and encountered the same encounter as before.
The same fate as the guard.
"What?"
Looking at the guards who were hesitating, Banli shouted loudly: "That thief's luck can't be so good, there are so many of us..."
The harsh sound of breaking through the air came from in front of him again. The rich combat experience reminded Banli's heart for the first time: this attack seemed different from the previous one. He turned his head hurriedly, where
The moment the golden light was about to approach, he twisted his waist and turned sideways. At the same time, he pushed the stone wall beside him with both hands, and managed to avoid it with the help of his strength.
"ah--!"
Screams rang out from behind Banli. Banli, who had fallen to the ground, looked back and saw that the golden light shot past him unabated, and then stabbed into the thigh of a certain guard. Blood flowed from it.
The blood splattered out from that place, and the farthest trace of blood even splashed onto the wall on the other side of the alleyway, making every witness feel extremely miserable in their hearts.
It was only then that everyone, including Banli, saw clearly that the thing stuck in the unfortunate guard's thigh seemed to be a dining knife.
"It's pricking..."
After muttering a few words, Banli looked up at the figure who disappeared at the corner of the alley, and shouted loudly: "Don't run!"
"Everyone, hurry up and chase!"
No one responded.
"whispering sound……"
Secretly spitting, Banli gritted his teeth, then rushed forward, chasing the figure in the direction in which he had fled.
