The sun is high - #84 - Chapter 83 Three Shots
At this moment, the abnormal event that Shuge expected finally happened.
Not only did it happen, but its intensity seemed to far exceed his expectations – no matter what kind of weird power was hidden in this manor hotel, and no matter whether there was a mastermind behind it, it seemed They have no intention of showing mercy to the hotel guests because of their status and origin.
At least now, Judging from the intensity of poor Miss Elena Ernst’s struggle and the weird scene, she has indeed been forced to the brink of death.
The two Niels brothers had also arrived at the open space in front of the hotel. They were also shocked by what happened on the fourth floor of the hotel.
But before the two of them could figure out the situation, Xiuge, who came out first, had already made a frightening move.
He untied the cloth wrapped around the revolver, then took out the new firearm and quickly lifted it up.
The two people were shocked and didn’t know what Xiuge saw now.
The moment he walked out of the hotel lobby, the power belonging to the messenger in the mirror began to operate on its own in his body. Deep colors floated out from between his eyelids. With its help, the dark night and The darkness in Room 410 of the Manor Hotel could no longer block his vision.
So Xiuge succeeded in seeing an extremely strange scene in the seemingly transparent room window.
He saw a dark figure standing in front of Elena, who was hanging outside the window and struggling and twisting.
To be precise, it seemed to be a human shape made up of countless small shadows connected and combined.
Xiuge didn’t know what it was, but the moment he saw the thing clearly, he already had a strong feeling of nausea and nausea, as if what was standing there was an extremely unpleasant mass. of filth.
Not only that, whether it was Xiuge’s subjective emotions or his spiritual world as a whole, a very clear message was conveyed to him at this moment – no matter what the shadow was, it should be dispelled, repulsed, and even Destroyed forever.
In short, it must not be allowed to exist in this world for a longer period of time.
And now, Xiuge could see that the dark figure was grabbing Elena’s arms with its “hands”. It seemed that it didn’t intend to let Elena continue to struggle on the edge of the window.
“call……”
Xiuge took a deep breath. Under the surge of magic power, the color belonging to the messenger in the mirror floated out from between his eyelids. The strange magic shadow hidden in the darkness became clearer. At the same time, those The memories of the skilled soldiers who were sleeping in his mind, absorbed and accumulated from the descendants of An Abyss, began to slowly revive.
Instincts and memories that did not originally belong to Xiuge gradually merged with his body. He skillfully adjusted his gun-holding posture, tilting his head slightly to aim at the head of the strange figure.
The trigger was pulled, and the crisp sound of gunfire erupted in the Ernst Manor.
Everyone, from the two Niels brothers standing in front of the hotel to the ladies who stuck their heads out of the windows to check the situation, all screamed, and some of the timid ones even screamed.
At this time, Xiuge completely ignored these sounds. He clearly saw the dark shadow “exploding” into pieces the moment the bullet hit.
However……
The weird figure still did not stop its movements. Although it seemed to be shaking slightly because it lost its head, its movements to kill Elena did not stop. Not only that, Shuge also More black shadows were seen gathering towards its head, as if it was preparing to reorganize its head.
“The equipped bullets are mainly made of metal. Will their damage to magical creations be limited?”
Xiuge reacted immediately, so he immediately pulled the metal lever on the side of the revolver, and the metal cartridge cylinder immediately rotated with a soft sound. As the metal cartridge case fell, some white steam drifted out.
Afterwards, Xiuge fired two more metal bullets in succession, and then constructed a simple magic pattern in his mind as quickly as possible.
The “Magic Bow and Arrow” trick took effect quickly. In the faint magic light, two magic bullets with basically the same structure as rifle bullets were held in Shuge’s hands.
At this moment, the speed of cultivation has increased to the extreme.
In the high-speed operation of magic, there was no mistake in either his movements or his thoughts. With the crisp sound of metal machinery, he quickly filled the magic-made bullets with “modifying characteristics” into the bullet chamber, and then the metal The magazine rotated slightly, and with the reset of the pull rod, the wheel magazine was fixed again, making this new rifle once again ready to be fired.
The hotel waiter was already frightened. He thought that Shuge was shooting at the poor lady. He was about to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by two brothers who were also in the open space. Their reaction was quick and they realized Xiuge may have expected something to happen. His shooting was not aimed at members of the family, but at the murderer who was committing murder, or something else!
A second gunshot pierced the night sky again.
This time, the magic bullet, which was mainly composed of magic power and had acquired a certain corrosive ability, successfully shattered the left arm of the figure. Xiuge could clearly see that its entire arm was affected by the impact of the bullet and the spread of magic power. It completely collapsed, and the body shook violently, obviously suffering heavy injuries.
After getting the positive result, Xiuge’s movements became smoother and faster. As he aimed again, the lever next to the magazine was pulled again. After the wheel rotated, the trigger was pulled again. The third bullet left the barrel of the gun with a whistling sound, and successfully turned the figure’s other arm into black residue.
In Room 410, the “attack” against Elena ended completely with the third shooting, and the human figure that had lost its head and arms also shook slightly and then fell down.
At this moment, Xiuge saw a light coming from room 410, and then someone rushed to the window. They were the guards in the manor and the waiters in the hotel. They hurriedly stretched out their hands and grabbed hold of them with all their strength. Elena Ernst’s arm and dragged her back into the room forcefully.
Shuge put down the revolver rifle in his hand.
He pulled the lever hard and released the bullet nest, and then a large amount of magic mist escaped from it. This was a negative effect brought by the magic bullets. As the book said, too much magic mist was used in crystallized firearms. The use of magic bullets will most likely cause damage to the firearm structure.
For all the young nobles in the Manor Hotel, this night is destined to be a sleepless night.
The strange events that happened in Room 410 and three consecutive crisp gunshots were enough to make even the most nervous people lose their sleepiness, so they left their rooms one after another and gathered in the hotel lobby. Some of the members He has even packed his things and is preparing to leave the manor temporarily and find another place to stay.
“What on earth is going on? Is there a ghost in the hotel in the manor?”
The ladies were talking in panic.
“Get two magicians to come over and let them find out what is going on!”
Several men gathered around the housekeeper at the Manor Hotel and made a worried request.
“Damn it, why would anyone have a gun?”
Among them, there are even angry people who are looking for the person who just made a dangerous move.
As witnesses to the “shooting” scene, the two Nils brothers were “controlled” on the sofa in the corner of the hall. The two looked at each other, but could not say a word. They only knew that it seemed that Shuge had saved them just now. I met Elena who lived in Room 410, but I didn’t know the specific details.
Opposite them, as the direct maker of the shooting, Shuge was under the surveillance of several manor guards.
He sat safely on the sofa, and the revolver that had been detached from the remaining bullets was wrapped in cloth and set aside. The frightened housekeeper brought him a cup of hot tea and briefly expressed her gratitude to him. She was extremely scared. As an ordinary housekeeper who had just joined the Ernst family, if any accident happened to a young family member within her management, she would be responsible.
Shuge held the tea cup and silently observed everything in the hotel lobby, quietly waiting for the Ernst family to announce their plan to deal with tonight’s emergency.
In fact, he is now more concerned about what happened in Room 410, because until now, he has no idea what the figure that appears in his magic vision is.
“That shouldn’t be a descendant of An Yuan… If so, my perception should be very strong.”
Xiuge recalled everything that happened tonight in his mind: “Judging from the situation after the bullet hit, that thing seems to be more like an aggregation of many things with specific forms. This feature is very similar to the descendants of An Yuan.” the difference.”
“Not only that, neither the metal disk itself nor my three ‘guests’ who existed in the metal disk showed any impulse or desire for this existence. On the contrary, they seemed to dislike and hate it very much. To the point that it even affects me emotionally…it’s weird.”
Gradually, the hall became quiet.
Most of the people present knew that the arrangement for temporary stay in the hotel came from the powerful elders of the Ernst family, and this decision was very likely to be related to the next heir affairs.
Therefore, even though the situation is very complicated at the moment, not many people are willing to leave early.
As they communicated, more and more eyes were cast in Xiuge’s direction.
Of course an illegitimate child would not enter their field of vision.
An illegitimate son who has gained a lot of fame through vulgar literature has the qualifications to become a topic of conversation and a joke.
However, now, the illegitimate son who appears in front of them has inexplicably regained the protection of his family, managed to escape from the dangerous place that caused the war with little effort, and also successfully solved a strange crisis with his superb archery skills…
At this point, elements such as illegitimate children and gaudy literature, which were not so glorious, have become important embellishments in the “legendary story”.
It’s so ridiculous, but also so true.
“Look, you’ll know! You don’t have a zoo in Bolden, do you?”
Although Shuge knew that it was only a matter of time before he would attract the attention of others in order to reintegrate into the Ernst family, he still felt very uncomfortable when this scene actually happened.
There is no way, who made him feel uncomfortable speaking in a conference room with more than fifteen people in his previous life?
“I should have practiced a long time ago, I should have practiced a long time ago…”
Xiuge calmed down his mood, turned aside the eyes of the others, and turned to look at the guards and waiters on the side. He originally wanted to try to get some information about the hotel and Room 410 from them, but still Before he opened his mouth, there was a sound coming from the direction of the hotel door.
Two teams of heavily armed guards entered the lobby of the Manor Hotel.
Everyone in the hall was “lined up” to both sides, and then, a wheelchair and an old figure sitting on it slowly appeared in front of everyone.
“Zeke Ernst?”
Shuge read out the old man’s name.
After everything he had experienced before, he could no longer treat the people he met as so-called “background characters”. Each of them was real and had their own thoughts, desires and emotions. Therefore, Xiu Xiu Ge knew that the person who appeared in front of him was not an old man who could be dealt with casually, but the current controller of a huge family, a “three-clawed falcon” that had a terrible influence on the entire Walter army.
“Take little Elena away, she needs healing.”
Old Zeke’s voice seemed very smooth and soft, which was obviously different from the military voice in Xiuge’s impression.
After the mage and the servant who were responsible for taking care of the injured walked upstairs, the old man raised his crutches and paused hard on the ground twice: “Okay! As an old man like me, do you usually still do this? Haven’t you seen enough? Since you still choose to stay here, it means that you know what you are going to do next… In this case, go back to your room.”
After saying that, Old Zeke pointed to the guards who were already in place in the hotel lobby: “Don’t worry, nothing will happen next. Everyone is safe.”
As the supreme being in the family, no one dared to refute Old Zeke’s order. Except for a few young people who were still doubtful and moved a little slowly, the rest of the members all walked towards the stairs and elevators. It looked like, The old man’s two simple assurances just now had actually eliminated the worries and fears in their hearts.
Then, the wheelchair slowly turned around.
The next second, a smile appeared on the old face: “My child, your name is Xiuge, right? Do you mind chatting with me, a lonely old man, late at night?”
