Wrong place, my team members are from the daily program

"Hey, even if it's a remote hotel, at least there are chefs and bosses there. It's only 10 in the morning, so it won't be closed." Xia Jia said quietly.

"Hmm."

A thought appeared in the hearts of the two of them.

Lulune stepped forward to knock on the door quickly, and the rusty lock outside the door was shattered in an instant...

The dog-man girl looked embarrassed.

"Ahem, okay, you can go in now."

Xia Jia was silent, and signaled with his eyes: girl, you force you to go first, and I will put you in the back.

"Take self-defense."

Lulune is also a bold person with high skills, first throws a dagger to Xia Jia, and pushes the door open.

"By the way, do you have a staff? I'm a mage." Xia Jia tried to squeeze the wool.

"Don't talk nonsense, just keep up." Lulune said helplessly.

I'm just a thief, why would I put that kind of thing on my body.

"Crench."

Lulune pushed open the dilapidated door, making a harsh sound of wood rubbing, and what came into view was a relatively clean service desk, with nothing on it except a resident registration form.

Lulune lowered her head, flipping through the check-in list, while Xia Jia checked the room.

Click, click, click.

As Xia Jia walked, the old floor made muffled sounds, and at a certain position, the sound of footsteps became dull and transparent.

Have a basement?

Xia Jia's first reaction was this, but before he could speak...

"Ga, ga, ga, ga!"

"Crack."

There was a violent flapping of wings and the crowing of crows, followed by the sound of huge objects falling to the ground and the sound of glass breaking.

"I rely on."

Xia Jia took a closer look, and saw a crow staring at its scarlet pupils, broke through the window and landed on the beam.

"what's the situation?"

Lulune also put down the parchment in her hand and walked over.

"It's okay, the crow came in." Xia Jia explained.

Da da da, a burst of footsteps came from upstairs.

someone!

The two looked at each other.

Lulune put away her contempt and stared intently at the stairs, Xia Jia also took out her dagger to be on guard.

On the stairs, an old little human with a back on his back held a lamp and walked down the stairs cursingly: "Who, it's early in the morning, this place is closed for business, so don't disturb my rest if you have nothing to do."

Old people, or little people?

Seeing the person coming, Xia Jia was sure of his mind, couldn't help squinting his eyes, and complained: "It's already ten o'clock in the morning, old man."

"Who are you?" The old store manager glared at Xia Jia, and then he was slightly taken aback when he saw Lulune's expression that seemed to be a half-smile.

Rats of the same gray industry, the same kind of smell is easy to distinguish, and it is the kind that is very difficult to mess with!

The old man's expression changed, he glanced at the broken glass beside the bed, and changed the subject: "Oh, you damn beast, you're free to run around the house."

Why do I feel that he is scolding us?

Xia Jia glanced at Lulune, she has experience in dealing with this kind of old fritters.

Sure enough, Lulune just smiled, and took out a cloth bag from her bosom, and there was a crisp sound of gold coins clinking in the cloth bag.

Just like that, she came to the old man of the little human race, bent down, grabbed the other man's neck, and asked in a low voice:

"Tell me, do you want this bag of money, or do you want to be like that beast?"

As soon as the words fell, a gold coin was shot at the beam in an instant, and the crow didn't even utter a scream, it just fell to the ground in a daze, oozing a pool of blood.

"You, what are you talking about, I don't quite understand?" The old man felt the weight on his shoulders, and felt the bag containing the gold coins in his hand, as if hesitating.

"Think about it, there is only one chance." Lulune looked displeased.

"There's no point in getting angry with animals." Xia Jia's eyes were red, and there was a pun in his words.

Compared with Lulune, the old man seemed to be more afraid of Xia Jia, and always felt a ferocious aura from a beast, rushing from that smiling eyes.

That was the animal's hunting instinct brought about by the "zone". After Xia Jia's spirit reached a certain level, it seemed to have some deterrent effect.

Xia Jia can feel that with the improvement of his "vessel", it seems that more powerful talents are also appearing. For example, it is not a dream to reach the "Selfless Realm" in Net King.

"No, it's not what you think." The old man sneered dryly, and explained: "You should tell me why you are looking for me first. Otherwise, I don't know what the hell is going on with the little old man." .”

"Didn't we say it?" Lulune turned to look at Xia Jia.

Xia Jia shrugged, well, did not say.

Lulune sneered, straightened the old man's collar, and asked:

"We want to know if a group of mercenaries moved into your shop with a big box yesterday."

The old man habitually stroked his mustache, and his eyes swept to a corner:

"You said them, they went out and are not here."

"Over there?" Lulune didn't listen to the old man's words, and followed the imperceptible line of sight, where was blocked by several wine barrels, and looked ordinary.

Xia Jia put her hips on her hips and said contemptuously, "It's still playing tricks."

"I don't have one. That's the wine cellar of our hotel." The old man grimaced.

I thought to myself, what's going on, why did the group of mercenaries not react at all when such a big incident happened, maybe they really left overnight.

Originally, he was an intermediary agency here, and he only wanted to collect money. To be honest, there was no need to help those mercenaries.

The reason why he dared to steal and cheat was because he saw the coat of arms on Xia Jia's chest.

Being well-informed, he naturally understands that the Astria family is not a family that carelessly ignores human life. As long as this person is here, even if something happens, no life will be caused. He is not afraid.

It's a pity that he is still ignorant. If he knew that there was a lunatic named [Gaofeng] who was hunting around for businessmen who were involved with the dark faction, he didn't know how he would feel.

At this moment, the moment Lulune pushed the wine barrel away and opened the steel plate leading to the wine cellar, Xia Jia's expression changed.

A strong stench came over his face.

The dark underground wine cellar is like an opened Pandora's box, with a disgusting smell of decay coming out.

"What did you put in there?"

"No?" The old man's expression was not good, and his expression was a little anxious: "It's just an ordinary underground wine cellar. How can there be a rotten smell?"

He stepped forward to check.

Lulune stopped her, but it was useless. The scene in front of her had already fallen into the eyes of the old man.

Cracked limbs, empty eyes, a head that opened its mouth wide and seemed to want to scream, and the horrible blood that smeared the walls.

The ground was pitch black, splashed with viscous black liquid, and brains and internal organs flowed all over the place.

The stumped limbs were scattered here and there, and it was hard to tell how many people's corpses were there. It was like hell.

Chapter 31 The Cursed Cat Demon

"Why, how did it become like this?" The old man was stunned.

"Where's Mr. Baker? Where did he go? He hired senior adventurers, and it's impossible for anything to happen!"

His pupils constricted sharply, and cold sweat leaked from the tip of his nose and forehead. It didn't look like he was lying.

Xia Jia asked: "Have you been in the hotel last night?"

"Yes. I've been sleeping in the attic."

Xia Jia didn't give the old man time to think, and continued to ask: "You didn't notice any movement?"

"No, it's the same as usual. There are only annoying crows and wild cats. Besides, the tenants here are the Alberta Chamber of Commerce, and they hired lv3 adventurers to protect them. Which round is it up to me to worry about?"

The old man said, as if thinking of something, he pushed Lulu away, wanting to enter the basement:

"I want to see if Lord Baker is here, he can't die, he hasn't paid yet!"

More than a dozen people died in the cellar inexplicably, and his hotel might not be able to continue.

Alberta Chamber of Commerce?

Xia Jia concluded that the shop manager was not lying, so the information he provided was valuable. It just so happened that Xia Jia knew about this chamber of commerce.

In the main story of the original book, the Chamber of Commerce lured the protagonist Bell into the dungeon at a price of 100 million Farley in the name of investment, but the purpose was to serve the Ishtar family. As a result, Bell was killed by Ishtar. Family capture.

It can be said that he is not a good person.

So, what is their purpose in letting so many people die here?

Ah, so annoying, these conspiratorial hearts are dirty.

While thinking about it, I suddenly heard Lulu screaming in surprise: "Be careful!"

Xia Jia came back to his senses and saw a pitch-black shadow shooting out at a speed invisible to the naked eye in the dark basement. With the trajectory of lightning strikes, it first hit the forehead of the store manager, and then slammed into Lulu's arms.

The huge impact made even the lv3 Lulu take four or five steps back, but the black shadow remained undiminished, rushing towards Xia Jia's face at a slightly weaker speed.

"So fast!"

Xia Jia's complexion changed, and he was able to pinch and knock lv3 Lulu into the air. Such a thing is not weak, and strength is not the opponent's strong point either!

Facing such a powerful enemy, Xia Jia didn't have much time to think, seeing that the black shadow was about to rush in front of his eyes.

Xia Jia was not flustered, this kind of attack was not unheard of before crossing.First, he turned his head sideways, and the red light in his eyes representing "zone" bloomed. Subconsciously, he turned around and spun around, posing for the ball, and swung his weapon with the most accustomed experience.

whoosh-

A burst of air flashed, and a few drops of blood bloomed.

Failed!

Xia Jia's pupils shrank, although he felt the impact, but it didn't feel right.At this time, Xia Jia recalled that what he was holding was a dagger, not a racket, and the length and hitting area were very different.

It seems to be luck to scratch the other party by chance?

Xia Jia's reaction was not slow, to avoid being attacked from the back, he rolled on the spot, leaving the frontal battlefield to Lulu.

When he looked up, the room was already silent, as if it was no different from before.

"Relax, that thing got away."

Lulu squatted down, picked up a bunch of black hair on the ground, and analyzed:

"It's a monster. It looks like that guy was injured before, and he chose to escape the first time the door was unlocked..."

"It's conservatively estimated to be a monster of the cat family...saber-toothed tiger? It's too small...um...could it be a subspecies?"

Xia Jia asked curiously: "Just by the hair on your hand, can you tell it's a cat?"

Lulu shrugged her shoulders: "Although it is covered by the smell of blood, the smell of wild cats is too obvious."

As she spoke, she also pointed to the blood stains on her clothes, a plum blossom paw print, which proved to be left by a monster.

Xia Jia frowned instead: "I think it's more like a war shadow... Its figure is completely shrouded in darkness, and it moves in a strange way, just like a shadow."

Lulu didn't object, and she couldn't guarantee it: "Maybe it's an enhanced species. Since it can be sold as goods, it's at least a rare species."

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look, maybe there are other clues."

Xia Jia didn't move, came to the shop manager's side, stretched out a finger and sniffed:

"Not dead, but the brain has suffered a huge shock, and it may not be so easy to wake up."

Lulu pinched her hips: "Just leave it alone, this old man is not a good guy."

Xia Jia didn't think so: "Maybe we can get some clues out of his mouth, let's rescue him."
