It's like entering a deserted place and entering a room with people.
The pre-paid goal of using Blood Conquest to enter another dimension is very simple. There is only one familiar smell in the whole building - his number one customer, Claire who just couldn't find her husband.
Tommy and I were not there. It should be that after a brief visit, the night manager took over the matter with extraordinary efficiency, so he took advantage of the situation and left efficiently.
Not a bad thing, it means there's a good chance they haven't been to that particular room yet.
"Continued Cup?"
In the dim light, Fu Qian, who had lifted the Blood Conquest, sat down on a round-backed chair, grabbed a wine bottle on the table, and said hello to the person opposite.
And this sudden sound obviously shocked the haggard housewife.
Claire, who was frowning, had even a little more blush on her cheeks than when they met earlier, and her mouth smelled a little more alcoholic.
This sentiment is actually completely understandable. Today's series of shocks are indeed a bit overwhelming, so it is normal to use the power of alcohol to relax a little.
Not to mention that judging from the remaining wine in the bottle, she only drank the glass in her hand.
…
It is said that when people are extremely nervous, there will be times when they want to scream but cannot.
After realizing who the uninvited guest was, Claire's reaction undoubtedly verified this.
It also made the scene successful without becoming too rude.
Shhh~
He used the gesture of silence instead of covering his mouth, and at the same time helped to fill up the cup that had bottomed out in Claire's hand.
Whether it was because this scene was too weird or because she knew the other person might be inhuman, Claire's hand holding the cup was frozen there, with no intention of giving in.
"Please don't worry. Although this bottle of wine looks valuable, I don't have the habit of drinking during working hours."
Faced with such a reaction, Fu Qian also tried to comfort him for a moment, saying that he didn't have to worry about grabbing a drink.
"I understand the situation here. Unfortunately, the treatment is not going well. If you can ensure that you communicate at a normal volume next time, I think I can help provide some suggestions."
"Your Excellency Grimshaw, I..."
After what could be described as a long silence, Claire finally tried to make a sound, but it sounded horribly dry.
It was obvious that it was not easy for her to understand the scene in front of her.
Why does this mysterious and dangerous person appear here?
And after appearing here, why do you have such an attitude towards yourself?
But it doesn't matter, at least she has understood the most important thing about controlling the volume.
"Few people can truly understand their situation. Your reaction is human, and so is your husband's."
While satisfied, he continued to express his comfort before paying.
"So the first step, let's try to find him first. I remember you mentioned to me before that there is a room that no one is allowed to enter?"
…
"ah?"
At that moment, Claire seemed to have finally recovered some of her thinking ability and guessed the other party's intention.
I can't guess...but there are obviously strong planning factors.
"Do you want to take a look? I can take you there, but I really don't have the key."
Regardless of whether it was a plan or not, her own safety was the most important thing at the moment, and Claire quickly expressed her positive and cooperative attitude.
"So no one has gone in yet?"
Fu Qian nodded slightly and asked with a smile.
"No... two police officers came and left quickly after discovering that my husband was missing, and then no one else came."
But it should be available soon.
Claire's reaction was not unexpected, but at the same time Fu Qian added something in his mind.
When Lei Lan and others want to find someone, the first priority is to give full play to their organizational advantages and lay a dragnet.
In addition, if you want to be more active, then basically you are left with your current strategy.
So they will almost certainly come here to investigate the clues carefully.
One of the evidences is the change in the direction of the thread of concern at this moment. Leilan can't say, but Winona is obviously very positive.
Of course, her final result will only be to be the second one to enter in a race against time.
"I understand, it will be hard work."
Fu Qian stood up and asked Claire politely.
"It should be..."
Claire, who subconsciously stood up, didn't know why she said that.
Because the other person’s reason is to help?
Her expectations of this possibility were so low that she didn't even try to ask her husband what was going on.
Um?
Of course, even so, after hearing what he said, the other party frowned slightly and let out a sigh.
Claire's breathing became shallow for a moment.
…
"Don't you want to drink wine? Wouldn't this kind of treasure be too wasteful?"
Terrified, Claire finally received the verdict, but this content...
Just let yourself finish the drink?
Following the other person's gaze and staring at the wine glass she left on the table, Claire felt a nightmare-like absurdity before her eyes.
Of course, since it is a nightmare that cannot be transcended...Gulu!
Without confusion or hesitation, Claire picked up the wine and drank a full glass of fine wine into her stomach with the same efficiency as drinking water.
Although the taste was mellow, stimulation was inevitable under such a flow. She struggled to suppress a cough and slowly put the wine glass back.
"It looks much better this way."
After looking up and down, Fu Qian finally motioned with satisfaction to lead the way.
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be easily understood as a trespassing villain."
...Is it actually for this reason?
Claire, who was even a little tipsy, was stunned for a moment before realizing what the other party meant.
Your expression is so unnatural that it easily arouses suspicion? The question is, do you actually think that you are not a villain?
Although she knew it was not the right time, Claire still felt unbearable for a moment.
But that's exactly what happened... She touched her somewhat hot face.
After forcing down a glass of wine and having this weird conversation, he seemed to really relax a bit.
"plz follow me."
Claire, whose hands and feet felt a little lighter, had no intention of sharing this experience. She took a deep breath and walked directly in front.
…
Not too surprising, Mr. Leake's secret room is indeed located underground in this building.
Along the way down, the exquisite decoration, well-trained servants and constant greetings all prove the wealth of the Weasley family.
Thanks to Fu Qian's advice, the hostess, who behaved calmly and even blushed, was not overly interpreted by the strange man beside her along the way.
The evidence is that no one secretly called the police after passing by.
"We're here, right here."
Finally, the two of them stopped in front of a huge picture frame at the end of the corridor. Claire finally spoke and motioned to a door next to it. ()
