  Chapter 4 Night at Liangyi Mansion

It is late at night.

After gradually entering autumn, the forest wind at night brought a hint of coolness.

Two ceremony wearing white bathrobes left the corridor and followed the stairs to a door on the right hand side of the second floor of the mansion. After pulling them apart, they revealed a slightly simpler appearance. Layout.

The large bed is neatly placed with white sheets. On the opposite side of the bed is a dressing table. There is no lipstick and other cosmetics that ordinary girls would configure on the dressing table. There is only a wooden comb. Put it casually on it, beside the dressing table, there is a one-person-height wardrobe and a floor-to-ceiling mirror of the same height.

From the unclosed wooden windows, you can see a small pond several meters away and the bamboo forest that blooms outside the fence.

Apart from this, there are no other items in this simple room, making the originally small room more spacious and empty, as if it reflects the state of mind of its owner.

The girl closed the door of the room at will, causing the door to collide with a clear bang.

The two ceremony walked to the window and looked at the bamboo forest that swayed slightly with the breeze and made the sound of'swarming' outside the window, and the rays of light that were not bright in the sky. The moon did not say a word.

She has always had the habit of going out at night and wandering around in the city.

It is not to pursue the hustle and bustle of the city, on the contrary, in the neon lights at night and the sound of the whistle, what she has always heard from the bottom of her heart is unspeakable silence.

Perhaps wandering in the quiet city at night can make her feel a little comfortable, or there are things that she yearns for. She has always kept this habit.

Then, she was attacked by a killer last night.

Her skill is not bad. As the orthodox successor of the Liangyi family, she possesses extremely rare talents. She possesses the ability to accomplish most of the world's things independently, even if she is fighting a killer. It's not a problem, because she has all kinds of killing skills.

However, the attack last night was terrible.

In terms of process, the two ceremony failed.

From discovering the opponent's tracking and turning into a dark alley in an attempt to reverse the sneak attack, but was interrupted by a bomb, to finding that the opponent's real body was a child in his early ten years and was stunned.

The opponent’s skills in the matter of'assassination' have been brought to the point of perfection, and the timing is far better than her, so that she can only fall into the opponent’s rhythm throughout the whole process. Proud killing skills are almost useless, rare talents and powerful abilities are useless.

Her last memory is limited to the fact that the other party took out a pistol from nowhere, and pointed it at her forehead with a'touch', without the slightest hesitation, firing the gun without mercy .

After that shot, she fell into a coma.

There is no memory left after that.

By the time I wake up, the attack has already ended. The opponent’s silhouette has been disappeared, not to mention bullet holes on my body, not even a single trace of wounds, only the clothes on my body were contaminated by the explosion. The slight smell of gunpowder can prove that she encountered a very dangerous assault.

Later, it was inferred from the roadside clock that she was in a coma for no more than five minutes.

She didn’t have any memories in these five minutes, and she didn’t know what happened in those five minutes, so she let the other party let her go. This made her unwilling to admit defeat, and she felt strong in her heart. Frustration.

She knows that this memory will inevitably be etched in her deep in one's heart, and she will never forget it if she wants to.

After learning of her experience, her father, Substitute Patriarch of the Liangyi family, gave an order to prohibit her from going out during this time.

At least, until the killer who assassinated her is found, she is impossible to be allowed to go out.

Thanks to this, let alone going out at night, she could only ask for leave from school, and even throughout the day, she did not even step out of the gate of the Liangyi mansion.

"Squeaky——"

When the two ceremony were meditating on their own, a sound as if the aging wooden door was opened came from behind her, making her instantly alert. The gaze that was still immersed in reminiscence became sharp like a knife in the blink of an eye, and projected towards the direction behind him.

Following her gaze, the door of her wooden wardrobe was slowly opened from the inside out, making a sore squeaking sound, but also from it. A slender figure came out.

Broken brown hair, amber pupils, and handsome facial features make up a look that does not have the slightest temperature at all. Although the slender and thin body is short, there is a presence that people can’t ignore. sense.

At the moment his eyes that do not contain the slightest emotion and the two ceremony meet, the whole room becomes silent, and the cold atmosphere permeates the entire space.

"...You dare to chase here?"

In the silence of hard to describe, the two ceremony's sharp blades showed obvious hostility. Among the hostility also has several points of surprise.

"How did you sneak into my room?"

Because of the various trainings, the two ceremony are quite similar to the surrounding'abnormal' Sensitive, but before he took the initiative to walk out of the closet, she didn't notice the slightest abnormality, making her acumen useless—this situation was exactly the same as last night.

Even if she didn't know what happened in those five minutes, she didn't lose the memory of the killer who attacked and killed her last night, so she didn't even remember the other person's appearance.

This young man, surprisingly, was the killer who attacked him with bombs and pistols last night.

In an empty space.

Lucia silently looked at the girl who was close to half a head taller than him, and a faint thoughtful expression appeared in her eyes without the slightest temperature.

Sure enough, it was like two different people living in the same body... She really didn't know anything about what happened after last night.

——Obviously he has this ability because of the gift from the other party, but she doesn't remember it at all.

"It's not important."

Although he is a little interested in the state of [two ceremony], Lucia has no intention of going out of business when doing business. In his heart, The completion of the task is always the first.

In view of this, Lucia ignored the surprise and hostility of the two ceremony, and opened her mouth like no one else, "Roll up the sleeves of your two arms, I want to check your arms."

Gee.

The two ceremony slurped fiercely from the bottom of their hearts, and were obviously uncomfortable with the kid in front of him who opened his mouth as a command.

"Interesting, where is your confidence?"

The two ceremony's eyes became cold, "If you want me to follow your instructions, then show it enough to threaten me The confidence is coming!"

"As it should be by rights, if I don’t show my confidence, I’m sure you won’t be obedient."

In order to provoke, but think that as it should be by rights, Lucia nodded, immediately showed his confidence.

"Do you think I can sneak into your room without anyone knowing it, and can I place bombs around this mansion without anyone noticing it? What about blasting to the sky?"
