Looking at the corridor with only a little crimson moonlight coming in from the left and right sides, Franka blended into the shadows and sneaked towards the stairs.
She even suspected that Charles hadn't found her, so she simply asked Ms. "Magician" to move Gardner Martin away through the air. Otherwise, how could he suddenly disappear without her noticing.
There was no movement at all on the third floor of the gray-white villa. Franca listened carefully for a while, and suddenly she felt like she was the only one left in the whole building. The housekeeper, valet, maid, gardener and chef seemed to have evaporated out of thin air. Same thing.
She carefully came to the valet's room facing the stairs, stretched out her right palm, and turned the handle silently.
Relying on "dark vision", Franka could see two people lying on the bed at a glance. They were hugging each other and covered with the same thin quilt.

Almost at the same time, Franka's pupils suddenly dilated.
The two men had no heads, their necks were leaning against each other, and their fractures were covered in blood!
At this moment, Franka was startled at first, and then remembered Charles's description of Olson, the "supervisor" of the "Iron Cross", and suspected that a similar situation had happened to Gardner's valet and his lover. ——The head "came alive" and left the body on its own.
She didn't check the man and woman carefully. She closed the door in an inaudible voice and blended into the rich shadow at the entrance of the stairs.
She wanted to see if other people in the building had similar experiences.
As soon as she came down to the lobby on the first floor, Franka's eyes suddenly solidified: the pieces of armor and weapons that were originally placed here were all missing!
A big change has really happened... Damn it, why don't I feel anything at all? Franka was originally very confident in her abilities, experience and reactions, but now she couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
The next second, she saw the bathroom door on the first floor open, and a maid wearing an old nightgown came out.
The maid shook the liquid from her hands and slowly returned to the servant's room. Her head was empty, leaving only her neck stained with bright red. "
Franca, who was hiding in the shadows, looked out the window again. The two guards patrolling by also lost their heads. The shadows reflected on the glass were like enlarged beer bottles.
After roughly confirming the situation at No. 11 Quanshui Street, Franka no longer hesitated and quickly sneaked outside the villa.
She planned to report to Ms. "Judgement" immediately, and then use the statue of the "Original Witch" to tell Browns Sauron and "Black Witch" Clarisse about the changes here.
The latter had to hold a ceremony, and Franka was worried that trying it in this strange building would cause unnecessary changes and bring unpredictable dangers, so she decided to get out of the abnormal environment first and then take corresponding measures.
…
In the dark night, in the empty house, this "happy witch" hid in the shadows, exited the building from the side, and walked around to the front lawn.

Underground in Trier, "Fire Flame" Daniz punched open the stone door.
Behind this is a small mine, with three extinguished classical oil lamps, one high and two low, embedded on the stone wall.
In the middle of the mine, a downward staircase was excavated. Under the light of the fire, the bottom was dark and seemed to have no end.
Daniz withdrew his fist, turned his body sideways, and motioned for the nearly twenty sailors following him to enter the mine and divide the work.
There are "Hunters" who are responsible for observing the environment and finding hidden traps and unobvious traces; there are "Soothsayers" who use coin toss and crystal pendant rotation to confirm the direction of pursuit and the degree of danger; there are middle-order ones. "Sailor", waiting to support teammates and deal with accidents...
With this kind of cooperation, Daniz's team quickly passed through the stairs and tunnels, and the vision suddenly opened up.
They immediately saw a quarry cavity with many depressions cut out, and the ground was littered with straw mats, rags, pottery pots and other items.
Daniz glanced around and laughed softly:
"It was turned into a hiding place for soldiers..."
"Not so long ago there were dozens of rebels living here."
He cast his gaze towards the end of the quarry's hollow, where there was a spacious tunnel that led to nowhere.
A sailor standing next to Daniz said "tsk tsk": "There should be many similar hiding holes near here. The main force of the rebels led by the Carbonari Party is here?"
"I'm not blind, I can see!" "Fire Flame" Daniz cursed, "The question now is, where have they gone? Is the unrest going to start?"
…
Market District, Golden Rooster Hotel, Room 305.

Anthony Reed woke up when the earthquake happened just now.
After escaping that night, he was very sensitive to all kinds of noises, but he was not as scared as hearing gunshots.
Thinking of the previous discussion and the information that contained danger signals, he couldn't fall back asleep quickly.
Anthony Reed got out of bed, poured a glass of light beer, and poured it into his mouth to soothe the anxiety in his mouth and heart.
After using "soothing" on himself once, he planned to force himself to sleep for a while longer.
At this time, he heard a banging sound at the hotel door.
Who came back late at night? It felt a bit urgent... Anthony Rhett listened for a while and always felt that there was some problem brewing secretly.
Not long after, there were footsteps going up and all the way to his door.
Anthony Reed immediately opened the door and looked into the dim corridor.
He saw a middle-aged man wearing a gray-blue worker's uniform and a peaked cap, with an impatient face.
This is one of the informants he developed at the docks.
"What happened?" Anthony Reed asked with a calm attitude and a soft voice.
The informant was reassured and no longer anxious and nervous. He looked around cautiously and said in a lowered voice: "There will be a general strike at the dock tomorrow, and it is said that weapons will be fired."
"Distribute weapons..." Anthony Rhett's mind instantly showed "barricades", "incendiary bombs", "smoke bombs", "rifles", "two-wheeled carts" and other items representing the chaos in Trier.
In Trier, because the citizens have a strong spirit of resistance and are good at marching and fighting, similar things are not too strange. They happen every two or three years, sometimes even two or three times a year, with only one difference. It depends on the scale, but in the critical period when the terrorist disaster is approaching, there is such a general strike to distribute weapons suddenly, Anthony Reed cannot help but think about the possibility that this has been premeditated and is part of the disaster.

The intelligence dealer took out a gold Louis and said to the informant: "Your information is very important."
"You can find an excuse not to go to the dock tomorrow and hide at home."
The informant instinctively bit the shiny golden Louis, said goodbye to Anthony Reed happily, and left the Golden Rooster Hotel.
Anthony wasted no time and quickly went down to the second floor and came to Lumian's room.
He patted the wooden door of 207 gently but not hard, but as the sound echoed, there was no movement inside. It was so quiet that it seemed as if no one had been inhabited for a long time.
Anthony Reid stopped and frowned slightly.
…
In the world in the painting, the sun in the west shines on the chaotic streets, and the sky is still bright.
Lumian and Jenna passed by the broken gas street lamps and ran towards Market Avenue.
They didn't know when the "Room 7" where the Vozan-Sanson family lived would find out that the two of them had teleported here. They had to rush to the black hole representing the Breeze Ballroom before the other party re-locked it.
That way, even if other plans fail or are too late to be completed, they still have the last choice - to enter the black hole and try their luck to see where they will appear.
After running a certain distance, Lumian saw the Market Avenue in sight. He immediately grabbed Jenna's shoulders and let the red flames emerge from his body, covering the two of them, forming a huge fireball.
The fireball swooped forward at an extremely fast speed.
Lumian forcibly took Jenna across a distance of seven to eight meters and flew to the intersection of Chaotic Street and Market Avenue.
During this process, Jenna was not nearly immune to fire damage like Lumian. Her hair and skin felt burning pain, but she did not struggle violently. She just shrank her body and created frost to This resists the red fire and relieves pain.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them landed on the edge of Market Avenue.
From here, you can overlook the area where the "Breeze Ballroom" is located and the deep darkness.
This eliminates the need for Lumian to search for coordinates and can directly locate the destination.
What you see is what you get!
The black mark on his right shoulder lit up again.
"Spirit World Travel"!
Lumian and Jenna's figures flashed and appeared beside the deep darkness.
At this moment, a crystal-like wall appeared in front of their eyes.
It extends upwards, covering the entire Breeze Ballroom area, shaped like a transparent pot lid.
Lumian and Jenna subconsciously looked up and saw two more figures in the air:
One is a young woman, wearing a blue beret, a tied up white shirt and dark trousers, with an open beige vest, paint everywhere on her body, short orange hair, and yellow eyes that are deep and empty. It's vague, as if there's a world hidden inside.
The other man is a man in his thirties. His clothes are similar to that of the woman, but his lower body is covered with a pair of red trousers. His face has soft lines, his eyebrows are lighter, and his blue eyes are equally distant and erratic.
He also held a thick paintbrush in his hand and a plate of mostly used paint.
There is a pair of transparent wing-shaped membranes on the backs of these two people, which are like dragonfly wings. They are gently flapping, helping them to float in the air.
"Painters"? Those "goblins"? Lumian and Jenna instantly had a guess.

The man looked at Lumian with an expression of surprise, and said in a voice that seemed to come from afar: "Welcome back to the 'Hotel', Room 1."
Room No. 1... Lumian's eyes suddenly solidified.
Room 1? Jian Na was shocked and couldn't help but look sideways at her companions beside her.
