Chapter 821: Lanqi's Empire Horror Night
It was a dark night and rain was pouring down.
The raindrops hitting the glass windows sounded like rapid drumbeats, sounding particularly noisy in the silent night.
In the rain, almost all the lights in a villa in St. Clement's Monastery were turned off.
In the mansion, the dark corridors, the silent bedrooms, every room is quiet and peaceful.
"Giggle."
There was only a guest room on the first floor. The warm yellow light outlined the figure of a woman. Ifatia was lying at the end of the bed, watching the program on the screen with great interest.
The fluorescent light shone on her face, reflecting her happy smile.
"You're so cute that I want to eat you instead of breakfast."
"But...can you wait until I finish breakfast?"
Boom——! !
The comedy show spread cheerful laughter, which intertwined with the lightning and thunder outside the window to form a discordant duet.
Outside the window, it was still pouring rain, and the raindrops were winding down the glass.
The rain grew heavier, gradually drowning out the sound of the wind and the cries of owls, swallowing up any slight movement.
Heavy rain poured down, and the raindrops were like pearls and arrows, hitting the earth.
The forest surrounding the villa was isolated from the outside world by the rain curtain, and the endless darkness was about to swallow it up.
Lightning flashed across the sky and thunder roared, illuminating the spires and tall chimneys of the mansions.
Outside the courtyard.
The night crow's eyes passed through the dense rain curtain and gradually approached the brightly lit mansion.
Through the rain-washed glass windows, one can vaguely see the luxurious interior decoration and the flickering lights by the windows.
A few hazy black shadows disappeared in the bushes, as if they were spying on something.
The wind was howling and rain splashing against the windows made the place even darker.
At this moment, the door of the villa was opened silently, and four slender figures entered the room like ghosts.
They have graceful figures and stern faces.
The raindrops hit the roof madly, but did not wet them at all.
The figures were not in a hurry to act.
Instead, they exchanged glances.
Their goal today is to kill Professor Landry, a military engineer from the Cremon Empire.
With the presence of two lock-picking experts, Antanas and Sinola, the door lock of Professor Landry's house was opened immediately.
And Pranay stayed outside to keep watch.
With Pranai's vigilance, they will obtain the best evacuation route as soon as possible after completing the mission, while preventing the Sixth Army Goddess Water Jade Violet from detecting them.
"..."
The Ice Witch motioned for them to stop.
The other three stopped in their tracks because of the Ice Witch's gesture.
"There is a very powerful magical being on the first floor. I will go and seal it off. You guys go directly to the second floor and kill Landry."
The Ice Witch frowned and sent a signal to the others.
She had thought from the beginning that there might be other experts in Landry's family, but she didn't expect it to be so troublesome.
Even she was a little unsure of her opponent's strength.
Fortunately, this mysterious massive mana unit on the first floor seemed completely defenseless.
Then the best strategy would be for Artemis to guard the opponent on the first floor, and let Hyperion take Antanas and Sinora, two killers who could perfectly break any barrier and spell, to the second floor to take down Professor Landry's head.
"..."
Hyperion, Antanas and Sinora looked at each other and nodded solemnly, not daring to take it lightly.
The enemy that can make the Ice and Snow Witch so alert shows that the guy on the first floor is indeed not simple. They must act cleanly and efficiently later so that they can escape without any risk.
The action plan was finalized in the silent eye contact.
They almost blended into the shadows in the mansion, without any presence approaching the corridor.
The owner of the mansion had no idea—
Death is coming.
……
At the end of the corridor on the second floor, in a bedroom, two young women were sleeping soundly.
The room was dark. The heavy curtains blocked out the moonlight outside the window, and could only barely outline the lines of furniture such as the wardrobe and dressing table.
Talia and Sigrid were covered with soft duvets, swaying slightly in the darkness. One of them had gray hair like a waterfall, and the other had long light golden green hair like honey, looking like two lazy ragdoll cats.
Raindrops hit the window softly. Faint thunder could be heard in the distance, interweaving with their long, even breathing.
suddenly.
Talia opened her eyes from her sleep.
Those golden eyes were bright and clear even in the darkness.
Talia sat up and looked around in the darkness, as if she had noticed something.
At this time, Talia's eyes also noticed a pair of open purple eyes in the darkness.
She found Sid awake as well.
"..."
Sigrid did not speak to Talia immediately. Instead, she raised her index finger to her lips, signaling Talia to be quiet.
The two nodded knowingly.
Someone is coming to the house.
One of them discovered the enemy through the magic power on the door lock, and the other sensed the approach of a strong man through his breath.
And the target of this person must be Lanqi.
Talia and Sigrid looked at each other, serious expressions on their faces.
"Go to Lankey's room."
Sigrid made her decision.
"Go together."
They got out of bed in perfect sync and went to the master bedroom at the end of the corridor on the second floor of the mansion.
……
The master bedroom at the end of the second floor.
The closed door was slightly pushed open. Sigrid and Talia held their breath and gently stepped sideways along the door to enter the room.
When Talia noticed that Sigrid had to open the door a little further than she did to come in, she felt a strange sense of jealousy.
The furnishings in the master bedroom are simple yet tasteful, and the young man on the bed is sleeping soundly.
Under normal circumstances, they would never break the agreement and run into Lanqi's room without permission.
But now, since both of them want to protect Lanqi, they might as well sneak in together.
On the sofa in the corner of the room, the little black cat curled up and fell asleep.
Its pitch-black fur glowed softly under the dim light, and its small black coal-like body rose and fell with its breathing.
The two sisters looked at each other, their eyes full of worry, as if they were discussing how to protect Lanqi.
"Let's do it?"
"It's a situation that forces us to do so."
"I did it anyway."
"I did it too."
They tiptoed closer to Lanqi's bed.
Lanqi seemed to sense the movement, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
He was startled to see two people running into his room in the middle of the night. Sure enough, there was someone in the room.
But he focused his eyes for a moment and then calmed down.
He read some general information from Talia and Sigrid's eyes.
They made gestures to keep quiet, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Lanqi nodded. Although he didn't understand why, he still cooperated and remained silent.
"How do you..."
Before Lanqi could speak with his lips, he saw Sigrid and Talia approach him, crawl into his quilt, and pull up the quilt to cover him. The three of them squeezed into the same quilt, covering their heads. In the dim light, they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeats clearly.
"?!!"
Lanqi thought they were crazy.
"There's an assassin in the house."
“And it’s very strong.”
The two of them whispered to him under the quilt in barely audible voices.
Lanqi understood a little bit.
"If we take the initiative now, we might alert the killers. It's better for us to pretend to be unsuspecting and wait for the killers to rush into your bedroom and lift the covers, then we can catch them all in one fell swoop."
Sigrid spoke softly with her eyes closed.
Just breathing made the thin air in the quilt warm up a lot.
"Will this have a negative impact..."
Lanqi opened his mouth but dared not make any loud noise. He could feel that both of their cheeks were extremely close to him.
With them around, I feel too safe.
Lanqi's usual principle is not to look, listen or speak anything inappropriate. He will not look at, listen to or even bring up things that are not in line with etiquette for him.
No matter what, he is now sleeping in the same bed with two girls.
"If I want to catch the killer and protect you at the same time, this is the best option."
Talia also moved closer to Lanqi.
This would actually reduce the killer's alertness to the lowest level.
When the killers come and lift the quilt, it is time to give them a surprise.
"no……"
Lanqi felt that the killer was not that strong, so there was no need to be so alert.
Although this is indeed the most efficient method at the moment, you can actually activate Eternal Punishment of Undying yourself, and then have Taliyah and Sigrid ambush the killer without having to hide under the quilt.
"We are pretending to be a couple, so it is normal to sleep together."
Sigrid explained to Lanci.
She had wanted to come to Lanqi's room for a long time, but she had never set foot there because of her agreement with Tata.
"If someone slips through the net and finds out that we sleep in separate rooms, it might cause trouble."
Talia agreed with Sid's decision.
She was used to sleeping with Sid anyway, whether it was a two-person or a three-person bed, so there was no problem in adding Lanqi to the quilt.
Besides, she was used to staying in Lanqi's bedroom. Since the past few months in Huadu, whenever she turned into a crazy love demon, she would stay on Lanqi's body.
"but……"
"Keep your voice down, Ranchi!!"
Before he could finish his words, Sigrid covered his mouth.
At this tense moment.
The little black cat on the sofa meowed, stretched, and continued to sleep, not disturbed at all by the sudden intrusion.
There was heavy rain with thunder and lightning.
It seemed to be providing an accompaniment to this thrilling farce.
After a few breaths.
The door handle of the master bedroom was turning slowly, as gentle as a feather.
Talia's heart was filled with alarm, and she signaled Sigrid with her eyes to be ready. Sigrid also noticed something strange and winked at Talia.
The door opened silently and two dark shadows slid in quietly. Their movements were as light as two wisps of green smoke as they approached the bed.
Talia and Sigrid breathed freely as if they were sleeping, hiding under the quilt with Lanci, motionless.
The magic power became clearer and the aura became stronger.
Just as the shadow came to the bed, Talia and Sigrid seemed to reach a consensus instantly.
They suddenly threw back the quilts, and when the murderous intent came, they shot out like an arrow and pounced directly on the two invaders!
In an instant, four figures were fighting in the dim bedroom.
Talia and a female assassin intertwined their hands and restrained each other, while the other female assassin was pinned to the ground by Sigrid.
Since neither side wanted to make too much noise, they all restrained their strength. Talia and Sigrid just wanted to capture each other, so the four highly skilled people were in a stalemate.
Talia grabbed the killer's wrist with her backhand and held her shoulder tightly with her other hand.
The female killer pressed her knee against Talia's abdomen, trying to break free.
The two men stood on the carpet and wrestled silently, like two entangled poisonous snakes.
Sigrid pushed her opponent to the ground.
The two female killers' eyes were filled with surprise and suspicion.
They never expected that Landry's two wives were so strong.
This is not common sense at all!
But they didn't feel much danger instinctively.
Because of the brief exchange of blows with the opponent, the overly familiar aura and magic made them feel like they knew the opponent.
Just when everyone was confused.
The tall female figure has appeared at the end of the bed.
She had completely concealed her own aura before, and even the four eighth-level people present did not notice her presence.
She had long jet-black hair tied up in a bun, her face was cold and sinister, and she was wearing a black tights. However, the most frightening thing was the scorpion-tailed dagger in her hand that glowed with a poisonous green light, and the crazy bloodthirsty desire that emanated from her body.
At this moment, she was emitting a terrifying aura, and the blood vessels on her skin were clearly visible, with a strange purple glow.
Kill Landry and the mission is successful.
No matter how strong Landry's two wives were, as long as Antanas and Sinora could hold them back, Hyperion would surely succeed.
"Wait, Hyperion!"
Antanas, who was captured by Sigrid, shouted.
"No, no."
Shinora, who was interlocked with Talia, also realized the seriousness of the problem and opened her eyes wide.
"...?"
Although Hyperion had made up her mind to kill, she was stopped by Antanas and Synora's calls.
If it wasn't an extraordinary emergency, these two people would not have stopped her by calling her name.
"Huprienne?"
Sigrid looked at the shadow at the end of the bed in astonishment and slowly let go of Antanas.
Talia's pupils also began to tremble.
"What's going on!"
Antanas got up from the ground, crawled over and turned on the bedroom light.
In an instant, the whole bedroom was illuminated.
All that was left were confused faces.
Even if each of them had disguise magic and changed their appearance, they had been together for a long time and were particularly clear about who these overly familiar auras were, not to mention that they appeared together at the same time.
Hyperion stared at the bed in a daze, and the dagger fell to the ground.
She looked at the drawn quilt in disbelief, and saw Lanqi lying in the middle of the bed, and Sigrid and Talia beside the bed.
Lanqi was also shocked.
"Fuck...Huprienne..."
Lanqi had covered his mouth, the back of his hands was trembling, and he was talking to himself in a trembling voice.
Sweat was beading on his forehead. He glanced at Talia in her pajamas, and then at Sigrid in her pajamas.
What scene has he not seen before?
I have never seen this scene before.
Lanqi now wanted to fall on the bed and continue to sleep.
Maybe this is just a nightmare?
