The stairwell is about five meters away from the nearest room. Because the floor is carpeted, it only takes three or four seconds to approach without making any noise.
There was only Marquis Aldrich as a guest today, so the waiter didn't need to be busy. Linn stepped forward quickly, confirmed that the door was locked, then used his telekinesis to open the lock, went in and closed the door. It took less than ten seconds in total.
bell.
During these ten seconds, no hotel personnel appeared in the corridor, and it was discovered that the hotel had been secretly invaded.
Reiner, who was hiding at the top of the stairs, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Lin En, who entered the room, looked around and stayed for a moment.
It looked like an ordinary private dining room, not as dark or bloody as imagined.
In an instant, all the bold assumptions about this place collapsed.
Are you too nervous...?
Lin En thought.
I preconceptionally believed that there was a huge secret hidden in the Old Nanyue Hotel, and when I entered, everything seemed wrong.
This kind of thinking needs to be stopped as soon as possible.
It is not a definite conclusion that there is something wrong with the Old Nanyue Hotel.
Even if there is a definite conclusion, reason cannot be too eroded by vigilance, thus interfering with normal judgment.
Now that I think about it, the possibility of hiding secrets on the top floor is high, but there is another place higher up.
underground!
It is impossible for a hotel like this not to have a negative floor.
What is done there is almost impossible for the outside world to notice.
But the problem comes again. It's easy to go to the top floor, but it's difficult to go to the negative floor.
The main entrance is inaccessible, and it is a dream to walk through so many floors from top to bottom without being bumped into by someone from the hotel.
Cautious Lin carefully searched the dining room, and after confirming that there was really no clue, he quickly retreated, locked the door again with telekinesis, and then returned to the stairs to discuss the situation with Reiner.
"...Go to the negative floor?" After learning that there was nothing wrong in the private room, Reiner also determined that the secret was more likely to be at the bottom.
"Currently, this is the most likely possibility. Either we need to confirm the location of Marquis Aldrich first. There is a high probability that there is something wrong where he is."
Reiner smiled bitterly: "Whether it's going to the first floor or finding Marquis Aldrich, it's still a big challenge for us."
"Hmm..." Lin En thought about it, "It's really tricky to find out the secret without alerting everyone."
His current abilities are not put to good use in these aspects.
Unless they decide to massacre the hotel.
To describe it, it's like a big man who is used to wielding a knife suddenly wants to thread a needle.
"If that doesn't work, we can only wait until early in the morning. By then, most people will have gone to bed, and it should be much easier for us to go anywhere." Reiner didn't have many abilities. He mainly specialized in a few things, so he could only try to use his stupid skills.
ways to deal with the immediate troubles.
"How about asking Upton for help?" After a while, Linn had an idea.
Upton has previously revealed that he has the ability to detect the location of humans around him.
If we get him here and use his [Detection], Linn and Reiner will have a much higher chance of avoiding the hotel staff and going straight down.
"Didn't you say that it's best not to let Upton and Ulysses know about our actions? Once they know, the possibility of stopping our investigation is much higher than the possibility of supporting our investigation." Lai
Na asked with a frown.
"Yes, but we need his help now." Linn said, "He and Ulysses are not of the same mind. It shouldn't be too difficult to convince him to help us. Of course, this is just an idea of mine, and I don't
Make sure you want to bring him in."
"It's better to say goodbye." Reiner was less free and more cautious. "It will not do us any good to get entangled with these forces too deeply."
"Okay, then let's solve the problem ourselves." Linn respected Reiner's opinion.
Originally, this was a temporary solution he thought of, but in fact, it was not necessary to take this path to get out of the predicament.
If it really doesn't work, it's not like Lenati's stupid method can't be tried. In the early hours of the morning, all aspects of the hotel will be much more relaxed, and the opportunity for them to pry around will arise.
But if that were the case, they might not be able to catch the Marquis of Aldrich. After all, the hotel manager said in the morning that he would only entertain the Marquis of Aldrich today, and it was not clear whether he would stay tonight.
Considering that it was still early, just two o'clock in the afternoon, Linn decided to do something else.
Although it was best not to rush into the lower floors, more investigation could still be done on the top floor. He began to enter the dining rooms one after another under Reiner's watch, taking advantage of the waiter's unpreparedness.
It took an hour to finally confirm thoroughly that there was nothing unusual about these private rooms and they were really just places for eating.
In this way, the possibility of secrets hidden underground is raised to the highest level.
At around 3 p.m., the two returned to the hotel rooftop.
Lin En used her mind power to relock the door lock from the inside: "It's still early in the morning, let's do other work first."
"The secrets of the Old Nanyue Hotel should be inside. It is difficult to dig out anything from the outside. Now we can only further inquire about the situation of Marquis Aldrich and confirm whether these things can be connected." Reiner sorted it out.
Her hair was a little messy due to the cold wind.
"What you said made me think of a good helper." Linn thought of something.
"Scavenger organization?" Reiner asked.
"Smart." Linn nodded.
Ulysses and the God-given Society all put personal interests first. Unless Marquis Aldrich touches their interests, they will not provoke such a powerful force.
Therefore, even though they have deep connections with these two parties, Lin En and Reiner also know that they cannot rely on their power for the time being.
The scavenger organization is different.
They are quite aloof, feel good about themselves, and have hypocritical faces.
But hypocrisy has the word "good" in it after all, and the slogan of the scavenger organization is to clear away the garbage in society after all.
They would be very happy to ask them to help investigate Marquis Aldrich, or do whatever they can in other ways.
What's more, Lin En's trip this time is not just for asking. He will also provide some important information about the God's Gift Society to the leader of the scavenger organization and the commander of the Imperial Guard Corps, Monro.
"By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you." Lin En suddenly thought of something whose importance should not be judged. "Do you remember that before you went to the office of the vice president of the Divine Gift Society, someone happened to come out of the office, and
Did Upton say a few words?"
"I have an impression, what's wrong?" It had only been a day, and Reiner could even remember the person's appearance.
"That's a divine enlightener."
"The Enlightened One?!" Reiner was a little surprised.
First of all, the man looked very ordinary, and Upton didn't take him seriously, which probably meant that he didn't know his true strength.
Secondly, including this one, I have already met four [divine enlighteners] not long after I came to the emperor.
The Imperial Capital is really scary. There are so many high-level cleanup personnel here that are rare in Tswold City.
"Yes, it's very unexpected." Lin En walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked at the bustling imperial capital from a high place. "I originally planned to tell you after I was done with my work, but yesterday, I barely got much rest today, so this matter was forgotten.
"
"The key point is that Upton's attitude when communicating with him was very normal, and it didn't look like he was facing a divine being at all. Does this mean that Upton, and even others in the Divine Enlightenment Society, don't know the true background of this person?
?" Reiner guessed.
"Your thoughts are exactly the same as mine." Lin En felt that she and Reiner would get along well. "I have two guesses. One is that this person is the core of the God's Gift Society and deliberately pretends to be an ordinary member in order to spy on ordinary members.
situation to maintain the rule of the God-given Society. One is that this person is a person from another unknown force, and he has other purposes for entering it."
"Another unknown force..." Reiner felt as if his head was going to explode.
To the Imperial Capital, the two of them are nothing more than two little shrimps.
Why is it that after only a short time here, a force on the left and a force on the right appears?
"The possibility of the former is higher. I think that any organization that can bring together the forces has more or less people who can see through the identity of similar people." Lin En figured out the pattern, "For example, Ulysses,
For example, Munro of the Scavenger Organization. Then there should be such a number one figure in the God-given Society. Since there is, it is impossible not to realize that that person is the God-Inspired One."
"It makes sense." Reiner nodded slightly, "In other words, that person was deliberately placed at the bottom by the core of the God's Gift Society."
"So the God's Gift Association is not as loose as we thought. We will pay a heavy price for underestimating them." Lin En said seriously.
"Are you going to tell Munro about this?"
"It's not clear yet." Lin En was a little confused. "Not to mention, they underestimated the strength of the God's Gift Society, which will cause big problems. How did I find out? I don't want to reveal the Eye of the Peeper yet."
Reiner pondered: "It's hard for an old fox like Munro to believe that you discovered it accidentally. Let's put this matter aside for the time being. Anyway, they won't be able to fight with the Godsend Society for a while."
"This is the only way." Lin En also thought so.
"How strong do you think the God's Gift is?" Reiner wanted to know how Linn felt.
"I'm not sure of the exact estimate, but I'm sure that if we add up Ulysses and the Scavenger Organization, we'll be able to compete with them." Linn looked solemn.
The expansion rate of cancer has always been rapid.
And Ulysses gave up on executing the killer clown two months ago.
The scavenger organization may have missed the best opportunity to eradicate the God's Gift Society.
Half a year later, the God's Gift Society has grown into an unstoppable behemoth.
"Forget it, don't think about it so much. The most important thing is to finish what you are doing." Reiner rarely remained relaxed and patted Linn on the shoulder.
Lin En was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You are right, take care of the present first."
