As the night deepened, the magnificent and unforgettable concert had come to an end, but the crowd around them, with passion, was not willing to leave for a long time. They walked to a tavern or restaurant near the square, gathered together, and ordered a cup of drink. They talked loudly and shared their ideas.

The Flood Icing Hotel, which was not far from the square, was also crowded. Although the leaders of Ms. Lovina and Sarong Askel had already gone to bed, still crowded the gate was with reporters from different newspapers. They were unwilling to give up and wanted to dig out something eye-catching. There was a long fence outside the door. A row of tall guards with police batons stood outside the wall to maintain order. There were also some expected arguments from the crowd from time to time, which were annoying.

In the guard Pavilion on the side of the guardrail, Charlie, the gray uniform guards leader, was staring at the group of media outside the door with a straight face. He just turned 30 years old this year, full of energy. The years of security work made his eyes exceptionally sharp. To make himself more mature and dignified, he especially left a neat short beard.

“These damn flies are so annoying. Can’t you stop for a while? “Although he had used him to these unscrupulous journalists, he couldn’t help cursing in his heart. It was not easy to meet Ms. Lovina’s concert, but it turned out that it was her turn to guard. He could only hear a little song from an annoying distance! Thinking of this, the captain felt distressed again. He turned his head and looked at the clock on the back wall. The clock was almost midnight.

“…… I’ll go to bed soon. “He took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it when he heard a slight explosion from afar. The captain raised his head in confusion. Suddenly, the group of reporters outside the guardrail rushed to the left excitedly like moths, and their speed was astonishing. Not long after, the originally crowded gate became cold and quiet, which made Charlie a little stunned.

“Ah!” The burning pain from his fingers brought him back to his senses in an instant. He quickly threw away the match and rubbed his wound. He put away the cigarette and pushed open the glass door to the lookout. Black smoke billowed in an old building in the distance, and something was burning. The black smoke quickly spread in the hotel’s direction along with the wind, like a huge black cloth covering all the lights along the way.

“What’s going on…Is it on fire for no reason? “The captain was confused when he suddenly saw a guard rushing towards him from outside.

The guard stood still, gasping for breath, and shouted, “Captain, bad news! The warehouse on the left exploded. The fire was getting stronger and stronger, and there was black smoke everywhere! Please go and have a look! “

“Don’t be panic!” Captain Charlie scolded in a deep voice. He frowned and glanced at the approaching black smoke. Then he turned to the guards and shouted, “Leave a pair of guards for each group, and take the fire extinguishing spray with me!”

He made a gesture to the guards to keep up with him and immediately rushed to the fire scene. On the way, he could still hear the sharp explosions. His heart sank. There were only some pieces of the broken building that had existed for many years. How could such a big fire burst out? Thinking of this, he frowned deeper. He’d better be careful. He didn’t dare to be careless.

Beside the hotel was an abandoned three-story warehouse building. Not long ago, the municipal government was still considering whether to demolish and rebuild it, which saved a lot of time to argue. Soon, he arrived at the warehouse and found that it was surrounded by smoke. He didn’t know what was inside. The black smoke was so thick and smelly that it made people unable to open their eyes. Those annoying reporters all stood outside the black smoke area and watched the fun excitedly, whispering to each other. They must be one of them in the newspaper tomorrow.

The fire was so urgent that he didn’t have time to talk to the reporters. He turned around and shouted at the guards who rushed to him behind him, “group up and watch these guys. The others follow me!”Then he grabbed the fire spray from the guard beside him and rushed into the fire.

The burning old building looked frightening, but the guards scattered to take the spray and sprayed it on the ground while walking. The fire was not very strong, but there was too much smoke floating, and the visibility was very poor.

Captain Charlie looked around vigilantly but was accidentally smoked by the black smoke. He coughed and closed his eyes to calm himself down for a moment. When he opened his eyes and looked around, the team members had already gone far away and could not hear any sound.

“These brats! Why are you walking so fast? “Just as he exhaled a breath of depression and was about to rush forward, he suddenly frowned and turned over to the side to kneel. A swift flame flew past his position just now and splashed on the wall behind him, creating a charred mark.

“What…”When he was about to pull out his hand and spear as fast as lightning to warn the assassin, the assassin took a step more quickly than him. Two thin fire knives flew out of the black smoke and pierced through his chest, tearing open a pair of ferocious burning wounds. With a groan, Captain Charlie fell to the ground. He struggled to raise his head, but in the end, there was only raging fire in his sight.

Flames danced around, and a man in a black robe slowly appeared from the smoke. He stepped forward to take a look at the victim, bent down, gently tapped his white right hand on the terrifying blood hole, and licked it into his mouth.

“Bah! “He spits out the blood and cursed in disgust, “Ordinary!”

Anyway, he had to find a powerful man to be the team leader man in the black robe who was unhappy. He pursed his lips and waved his hand casually. Then he turned around and slowly retreated into the dark fog again. A golden flame instantly ignited on captain Charlie’s body behind him and soon swallowed the corpse.

The fire in the old building of the warehouse seemed to be getting more and more intense. The guards on duty in front of the hotel gate were attracted by the fire and rushed to the rescue with spray. At the hotel’s back door, two sentries were chatting with each other in the glass pavilion. Suddenly, a figure in a hurry came from a distance. The two of them immediately stood at attention and saw that it was the guards’ leader, Charlie.

“Captain!” The sentries quickly walked out of the pavilion to salute him, only to see that Charlie scolded them angrily, “bastard! Why don’t you go ahead and put out the fire? It’s almost burned to the hotel. Are you still in the mood to chat here? “

The two looked at each other in surprise and replied with some grievance, “Captain, didn’t you ask us to stay?”

“……Did I say that? “Captain Charlie pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly and shouted again with a straight face, “it’s urgent now. You all take the spray to help!”

“Then…Who will guard for us? “

“Let me help you!”

“Captain, it’s time for you to take a rest, isn’t it?” The sentry asked curiously.

“Uh…” After a moment’s pause, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted, “Ms. Lovina! What are you doing here at this late hour? “

Hearing this, the two guards immediately turned their heads, only to feel a sting at the back of their necks. An incomparably cold swept over their bodies in an instant, and then they knew nothing. Captain Charlie stepped forward and carefully took out slender poisonous needles from the necks of the two people. He put them back into the sleeves on his right wrist, turned over one of them, and looked at him carefully. At last, he nodded and touched his face. With a faint wave of divine energy, his face instantly turned into the guards’ appearance on the ground, and he looked the same.

The masked man habitually rubbed his cheeks, grinned proudly, and chuckled, “what a brainless man! I told you not to leave. It’s a waste of my two precious needles! “

He looked at the two corpses with disdain and curled his lips. Then he waved his hand behind him, and several figures in guards’ uniforms emerged from the hidden places outside the door. They skillfully pulled the corpses into the secret bushes and covered them. Then they stood in a row at the door, all lowering their heads and lowering the security hats so that they could not see their faces even in the light.

The masked man completed the task smoothly and walked to the pavilion with some self-confidence. He took out a cigarette and was about to light it when Sector suddenly appeared from the glass window like a ghost. He hurriedly held the match and hid the cigarette behind him in a hurry.

At this moment, the blue-haired young man was dressed in a tight Nightgown with a pair of black glasses on his forehead. His blue eyes turned into terrifying silver-white, emitting a strange light. He glanced coldly at the masked man but said nothing. He looked up four times and then jumped into the back door like a ghost.

Inside the door, there was a slightly narrow corridor. The smooth marble floor was clean and bright, and there was a delicate crystal chandelier hanging above her head, illuminating everything around. There were several storage rooms on both sides. At this moment, the doors were wide open, and there was no guard. At the end of the corridor, in the center of the small living room was the spiral staircase to go upstairs. It was almost midnight in the middle of the night. No one was quiet in the corridor four times, and the air was as cold as usual.

Like an arrow, the Seckor entered the room and turned around to hide in the storage room filled with wooden shelves. He turned off the white wall lamp and waited in the shadow for a while. Then he heard regular footsteps coming from outside. It should be the patrol guards of the hotel who were slowly walking. He kept silent. When he was about to leave after the footsteps gradually disappeared, he heard the strange voice of Vyrut with a little empty echo in his mind. “Don’t move.”

Not yet. Seckor murmured to himself that he leaned back to the wall and continued to listen to the voice in his mind, “there are four magic puppets left in front of him. After a while, he will listen to my instructions and go upstairs directly after interference.”

“I see.” The shadow assassin also said lazily in his mind.

This fantastic conversation was given by the soul magic of the sorcerer of grey. In the command room at the top of the old building, Cyrus is sitting in front of the shabby low table in the middle of the room. His brows are tightly condensed, and his hands are clasped on the table. His red pupils are also emitting intense silver light, which makes people dare not look directly.

One side of the Bee was also thin eyebrows tightly wrinkled, her eyes had become countless small grid, the grid had a variety of fluorescence flash quickly. Perhaps because the divine power lasted too long, the bee’s forehead began to show sweat, looking slightly tired. But the man in the grey robe disappeared at this time. He must have retired after his success.

It’s about to end. Be ready. ” Vyrut infuses his spirit into the image in his mind. He is silent for a moment, and suddenly turns to the bee and asks, “how long is there?”

The seductive woman did not answer immediately. The tug in her eyes flashed more quickly, and sweat began to drip on her forehead. After a while, she suddenly yelled, “OK!”

“Go!” Almost at the same time, Vyrut gave instructions in his head.

Seckor immediately jumped out of the room. He swept through the passage, his hands racing forward, throwing golden marbles from each of the four magic puppets. The sudden change made the puppets have no time to respond. As soon as the ball touched the iron shell, it burst and flashed a flash of light. The mechanical guards were fixed in place and could not move. Not often because of the interruption of the energy system, they all dropped their heads.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the shadow assassin flew past the puppets and went straight up the second-floor stairs. He stopped slightly at the stairs’ entrance and hid in the open room door on the side like lightning. Seckor’s body was covered with black magic power. The shadow from the light suddenly dissipated into a mist and slipped into the room through the door. In the next second, two patrol guards appeared at the corridor’s corner on the second floor. They looked around warily and found nothing unusual. Then they continued to walk forward with laughter and to talk.

It’s about to end. Be ready. ” Vyrut infused his spirit into the image in his mind. He was silent for a moment, and suddenly turned to the Bee and asked “how long is there?”

In the small living room on the hotel’s bottom floor, the magic puppet soldiers finally connected to the energy source because of the loss of the effectiveness of the resistance bomb. They raised their square blackheads and looked around. After confirming that there was no abnormality, they were quiet again.

In this quiet and uninhabited small room, four iron shell soldiers stand on both sides of the spiral staircase like sculptures. The blue crystal eyes emit faint light and closely monitor the surrounding areas. However, in the hidden corner of the roof, there was a small wasp. It turned its head and stared at the magic puppets and a little purple light flashed in its big compound eyes.
