Chapter 73 Sudden Attack
Marcus, who woke up after being slapped, lay in Carl's arms, opened his eyes in confusion, and opened his mouth, as if he was planning to say something.
But maybe it's because I just woke up from a coma and I'm still not very awake.
His throat just made two meaningless "ah...ah..." sounds.
Two seconds passed like this, and after his eyes completely returned to focus, he suddenly reacted: "Face...face!"
He kept shouting the word "face" in his mouth, showing a very panicked look. Marcus struggled in Karl's arms, obviously recalling the previous encounter.
"Mr. Marcus, calm down."
Upon seeing this, Karl quickly held Marcus down and controlled his actions.
"It's okay now."
There is no time for him to cause trouble now. Who knows what he will do if his movements attract some unstoppable guy?
So with Karl's efforts to comfort him, Marcus finally calmed down little by little, and was able to sit up from the ground with his hands on the ground.
However, although he was not as panicked as before, his rapid breathing still showed that his inner activities were not as quiet as he appeared on the surface.
"I...I just saw a giant face rushing towards me from the sky."
"Then...then I will..."
As he spoke, Marcus covered his chest and began to show fear in his eyes. He was obviously frightened by such a terrible encounter.
"Speaking of which, Cyril, do you know what that thing was just now?"
"It was during the process of entering the field that I saw..."
Before Carl could explain his experience clearly, Ceryl took the initiative to get out from behind the display cabinet and began to introduce the things they had just encountered.
"That thing just now is a strange kind of interstitial creature. They will find ways to take away the thoughts of nearby beings and replace them themselves."
After hearing Cyril's narration, Karl jumped away from Marcus in an instant.
Since it is such a body-stealing monster, who knows if the housekeeper is still the same person as before.
"Don't tell me that he has..."
"Don't worry, I've already reminded you to take action if there is any problem."
Seliel waved her hand at him and continued to introduce with a normal expression.
"It takes at least a week for that kind of evil spirit to invade a human body. You have only been there for so long. At most, you are a little mentally uncomfortable."
After hearing this, Karl felt a little relieved, walked back and continued to help Marcus stand up.
After standing up with Karl's help, Marcus discovered that the surrounding environment had changed a lot. The completely opposite pattern of light and shadow from before deeply shocked him.
"What...what's going on?"
Stunned, he looked at the strange scene in front of him and asked stammering: "How did the warehouse become like this? What did you do to it?"
As he said that, he looked at Karl nervously, thinking that if the master knew that the warehouse was like this, he would never get anything good.
"Use your stupid brain and think about what I told you before."
Before Karl could reply, Ceryl started mocking again.
"This is no longer the place you stayed before, idiot!"
After being scolded by Cyril, Marcus' eyes widened, as if he remembered what happened before.
Then he asked in disbelief.
"I...I've already come in?"
"Nonsense, otherwise have you ever seen this kind of environment in the real world?"
"Okay, Cyril, don't bully him."
Seeing Cyril who kept mocking Mr. Butler, Karl went over to smooth things over.
"What we have to do now is to find Miss Xibel and take her back. I don't want to stay here any longer."
As he spoke, he gave Cyril a look, then patted Marcus on the shoulder, and took the lead and walked out of the door here.
He was still walking through this long staircase, but the difference was that there was no light bulb here, and only a little bit of residual light seeped out from the shadow under the handrail. The atmosphere was much weirder than when he came down before.
Marcus, who had never experienced anything like this before, already regretted it when he walked up the stairs. He wanted to leave this terrible place now.
However, the only dignity in his heart forced him not to speak, but from his actions of continuously closing the distance with Karl, it can also be seen that the fear in his heart is constantly deepening.
When he reached the fourth floor, Karl stopped before leaving through the exit of the standing cabinet.
He turned back to look at Ceryl and Marcus, then stretched out his hand to cover his lips, signaling the two people behind him not to make any sound.
Because he still remembered that he was the last one to enter the secret passage just now, and the door of the standing cabinet was not locked when he left.
But what he saw in front of him now was a locked cabinet door!
Seeing Karl's actions, the two of them knew what might be going on, so they nodded together to indicate that they would not say anything.
After receiving the guarantee, Karl immediately took out the [Decapitating Blade].
To be on the safe side, it's better to use this thing to open the door.
The blade was as sharp as ever and silently cut through the cabinet door lock.
Marcus, who was following him, saw such a big knife suddenly appearing in Karl's empty hand, and stared at Karl's hand with wide eyes.
There was nothing in his hand just now. Where was the knife hidden and how did he take it out?
Although he knew that these guys called extraordinary people had wonderful abilities, he was still surprised by this magical scene after seeing it with his own eyes.
After cutting the door lock, Karl carefully pushed open the door of the standing cabinet. There seemed to be no movement outside.
Then the three of them filed out and all left this narrow space.
"Where should we find someone now?"
He walked to the door and looked at the corridor outside. It seemed that there was no one there, so Karl turned back and asked Cyril what to do next.
"The scope of this field is this hotel. As a beginner, she has absolutely no ability to go out, so she can just look inside."
Seliel directly demarcated the area. It was a good thing that he didn't have to go out. At least the probability of encountering unknown monsters was smaller.
But that's what I said, but you must know that this hotel is not a small building, and it is not easy to find someone.
Then we have no choice but to seek help from those who understand Xibel.
Thinking this, Karl turned to look at the butler who was still studying a novel world.
"Mr. Marcus, where do you think your young lady is most likely to appear?"
Marcus was slightly startled when he heard Karl's question.
Then he immediately replied: "Miss is usually well served. If she hasn't eaten for so long, there should be traces of her in the kitchen."
"Okay, then please lead the way."
As he spoke, Karl was about to turn around and let the door open, but before he turned back, he saw a sudden change in Cyril's expression.
"behind!"
In a hurry, Seliel could only look at him nervously and said the word "behind" anxiously. There was danger behind him!
