The sun is high - #99 - Chapter 98 Room 519

At this moment, Shuge finally understood what the “abnormal movement” that Miss Hannah mentioned before was all about.

I have to say that Miss Hannah’s description of this is very vivid, because it is indeed very much like the “running” sound made by some kind of creature, dense, rapid, and the direction in which they are running can be heard very clearly.

This is basically consistent with the movement that Shuge captured when Miss Elena was attacked the night before. At this time, Xiuge was in the room, and his perception of this movement became clearer – it He was quickly climbing up from the bottom of the manor hotel building along the wall. As the force and sound approached, the residents in Shuge’s spiritual world all showed their irritability at this moment. side.

The running rat summoned by Shuge swung its tail vigorously, the hair on its body exploded slightly, and its mouth opened slightly, revealing its sharp and huge front teeth.

The reaction of these ancient things from the Dream Sanctuary verified Shuge’s previous thoughts, and just when Shuge was thinking about what to do next, the sound suddenly became louder – it seemed to be moving rapidly Approach the room where Shuge is.

“Huh? Did you come to the door yourself?”

Xiuge’s eyes brightened slightly. He pushed the chair and took two steps. As the magic power was running, the touch of Charron and the shadow of the messenger in the mirror appeared on his body one after another. His left hand was gradually covered with a ferocious black tip. It was replaced by a claw, and in his right hand, the newly obtained hound’s teeth appeared.

He was already prepared to use the most violent method to kill the other party in this room the moment the encounter happened.

Sensing Shuge’s mood and thoughts, these creatures that were closely related to the ancient gods suddenly became extremely excited. They were like hunters eager to hunt down the things they hate. They took the initiative without Shuge giving orders at all. The ground showed its power – the black mist of the messenger in the mirror was flashing, Charron’s Touch shook its sharp joints at the end rapidly, and the “new member” Hound’s Fang lit up even more. There were bursts of dim light, and the roars and howls of the palace hounds could even be faintly heard from the barrel of the pistol.

Known as the “Hound”, it can’t wait to show off its claws.

Under their clamor, Xiuge strongly doubted that if it was him who was standing in the sewer of Salem City at that time, he might really have a chance to kill the descendants of the Dark Abyss on the spot.

As for Snitch, who jumped on Shuge’s shoulders and looked like a fox pretending to be a tiger, he was somewhat out of place.

The restlessness in the wall was getting closer and closer. It had already arrived only a few meters away from Shuge, and just when Shuge had put his finger on the trigger of Hound’s Fang, it was beyond him. The expected thing happened.

Just as he was sensing magic, the invisible agitation in the wall suddenly paused, and then immediately changed direction and headed towards the higher floors of the hotel.

Or…escape?

Shuge was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and scolded the Charron Touch that was shaking beside him: “You are too high-profile!”

The black tentacles that were inexplicably scolded swung gently twice, and then retracted into the void. At the same time, the messenger in the mirror and the palace hound also fell silent, except for the one lying on Shuge’s shoulder. Snicki was alone with his hair blowing out, looking extremely embarrassed.

Xiuge didn’t bother to teach it any more, so he put the mouse into the pocket of his coat. Then he picked up the magic book and two magic crystals on the table and rushed out the door immediately.

The range that magic perception can cover is limited. Xiuge can sense that the restlessness existing in the wall is moving away from his perception range at an alarming speed.

So he immediately ran towards the stairs.

“Sir, this is the ladies’ floor!”

A passing waiter saw Xiuge looking like he was about to rush upstairs and quickly reached out to dissuade him. However, Xiuge was too lazy to listen to him and pushed him away, then ran towards the stairs.

The group of abnormal fluctuations moved so fast that when Shuge had just stopped briefly, it had already left the range of Shuge’s magic perception. Fortunately, Snicki’s sensitivity to this force was still in Shuge. above, so it immediately pointed out the direction for cultivation.

“Fourth floor…fifth floor…”

A man suddenly appeared in the corridor, which startled two aristocratic ladies who walked out of the elevator together. However, they immediately recognized the “star figure” in the family, so the shock on their faces showed It immediately turned into a pleasant smile, but before they could say hello, Shuge had already squeezed past them with a dark face.

From behind, several hotel guards and waiters caught up, but Xiuge didn’t care about their presence at all at this time – the abnormal fluctuations had reappeared in his perception, and according to the feedback from the perception, the fluctuations We have already entered Room 519 at the end of the corridor along the outer wall of the hotel!

Xiuge immediately rang the doorbell of room 519. However, when the bell rang, there was no sound in the room, as if there was no one inside at all.

After confirming that his perception was correct, Xiuge immediately lifted up the magic book. He rummaged through the dozen magic spells he had imprinted before, and finally quickly tore off one of the pages.

The Raindrop-level “Eliminate Door Lock” is an advanced version of the basic lockpicking trick. It can be used to crack some complex and strong door locks, and can also be used to deal with doors with basic protection rituals.

With the injection of Xiuge magic power, the complex magic patterns imprinted on the thick pages were lit up by dark green light and shadow.

Xiuge followed the method described in the magic textbook and pressed the page firmly against the thick door of the closed room 519. The magic luster with Xiuge’s distinctive characteristics began to flash rapidly. The next moment, along with There was a crisp explosion, and the magic book page that Xiuge pressed on the door exploded. The closed door lock fell apart on the spot under the impact of the corrosive magic power.

Xiuge shook his hand, which was numb from the magic impact, and then pushed his body forward hard, immediately knocking open the closed door.

The moment he opened the door, Xiuge knew that he had arrived at the wrong time.

Because the air in the room was filled with the sweet smell of rose petals.

At this time, except for a few people like him who are so busy that they forget to eat, most of the hotel guests have finished their meals and returned to their rooms. Ladies who usually live a more sophisticated life will also choose this time. Take a bath and get some rest.

Xiuge knew that he was obviously at this point in time.

Snitch climbed back onto Shouge’s shoulder. It looked warily in the direction of the bathroom, and kept hissing in its mouth. It was obvious that it had confirmed the location of its enemy.

Xiuge did not move forward rashly. He slowed down and quickly applied the basic protection rituals that he had mastered due to the imprinting magic on his body. He hung the magic book on his waist, his right hand was free, and his left hand relaxed slightly, silently Heading towards the bathroom.

Because the owner of the room was taking a bath, the curtains in Room 519 were tightly closed, and dim, soothing light fell from the magic lamp. This should have been relaxing light, but at this moment, it was obvious that for this room For the room where the problem occurred, it was even more bizarre.

Amidst the slight sound of water, Xiuge came to the door of the bathroom.

So he saw a young girl holding her legs and sitting quietly in the hot water in the bathtub. In the bathtub, there were many processed rose petals floating – this was the source of the sweet smell. .

In normal times, such a scene would always make people have some reveries.

But at this moment, facing this silent figure sitting blankly in the bathtub, Xiuge only felt strange and inexplicable.

Snicki was still sending out warning signs, and the result of Shuge’s own magic perception was equally clear – the source of the strange feeling was in the bathroom, even near the bathtub.

However, the strange thing is that at this moment, Xiuge can no longer feel the traces of the abnormal movement. It seems to be completely dormant, without making any sound at all, even though Xiuge has tried his best at this moment. He tried to improve his magic perception, but he still couldn’t catch any trace.

This surprised Shuge, who had just fought against the “Palace Hound” during the day.

“Could it be that the thing that exists in this manor hotel can hide its aura better than the existence of a palace hound?”

Shuge narrowed his eyes.

He turned his attention to the girl who was obviously not quite right – she should be alive. With his full-strength perception, Xiuge could even capture her heartbeat and breathing, but she was obviously in the dark at the moment. A very trance-like state, which made her completely unresponsive to the outside world.

“No matter what, we have to find a way to get her out first…”

Shuge turned around and looked behind him. After confirming that no one was following the room, Charron’s Touch immediately appeared.

Although using tentacles to save people sounds very ridiculous, Shuge did it, so the terrifying-looking dark tentacles immediately rolled forward. Under Shuge’s control, it moved as lightly as possible. The ground wrapped around the girl’s body, and then slowly exerted force, preparing to take the young member of the Ernst family out of the water.

And just when Shuge’s attention was focused on the girl, the water surface originally covered with rose petals suddenly broke, and something jumped out of the water.

Xiuge could see clearly that it was originally a “transparent” thing without a body, but when it came out of the water and came under the light, it suddenly took on color.

Now, Shuge knew where the target he was tracking was hiding.

It had been hiding in the bathtub, hiding next to the girl’s body, waiting for its approach.

“squeak!”

Snicki seemed extremely excited at this moment. It jumped up from Shuge’s shoulder and actively collided with the black things that broke out of the water. In just a moment, the running rat had a fight with these black shadows. There was fierce biting and fighting, but Snitch was obviously at a disadvantage. It was knocked to the side with force, and several hideous wounds were torn out on its body.

However, the running rat is no ordinary beast after all.

Its ferocity prompted it to respond at this moment. The corrosive and poisonous mist slowly floated out from Snitch’s splashing blood and enveloped the open space in the bathroom. Under the mist Under the influence, the black shadows that were originally gathered together gradually dispersed, and Xiuge was finally able to see their true appearance.

“this……”

Shuge couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

He had no idea that the target he was pursuing would be this kind of thing.

They look like rats, and they are a large group of rats stacked densely on top of each other… Unlike the fierce figures of the running rats, these individuals look very small, each one is only as big as a finger, but their number But it is extremely exaggerated. The way they gather together and surge rapidly makes people feel numb. What’s even more strange is that they seem to have no eyes, and the sides of their heads are empty, and only black fur can be seen.

Seemingly knowing that their whereabouts had been exposed, more rats emerged from every corner of the bathroom, cabinets, clothes, bathtubs… and even the water channels of the wash basins. They were extremely numerous and everywhere. While watching, the group of mice gathered together at an alarming speed…

Shuge’s thoughts were whirling. At this moment, he made a quick judgment. Charon’s Touch was operating at full strength. He forcibly lifted the girl up and exited the bathroom directly following Shuge’s pace. At the same time, he ran wildly. The rat let out a sharp hiss, and once again tore off its tail, and used it as a simple alchemy bomb to throw towards its “kinds”.

As the continuously twisting long tail exploded among the dense black rats, a large amount of corrosive mist burst out, but this force was unable to cause effective damage to the rats. They seemed to have Being able to adapt to this kind of force will mean that although the movement will become sluggish, it will not be damaged as a result.

They are still stacking and gathering. These weird rats have not turned into a ball of chaotic slime like the descendants of the Dark Abyss, but have maintained their individual independence. They are like a lot of parts, a certain will. Or they were quickly pieced together under the influence of some force.

The running rat looked at the same kind in front of him with “dumbfounded” eyes.

With its limited wisdom, it is still unable to understand what is happening in front of it.

In just a few seconds, these similar creatures, which were completely outside the command and control of the Running Rat, and even brought a strong sense of disgust to it, actually formed a tall and burly pitch-black figure directly in front of it.

It was exactly the same as the strange target that Shuge defeated with the revolver rifle before.
