However, the black shadow did not go in immediately.
Having had a brief confrontation with Bai Luo, she knew very well that the other party was extremely vigilant.
After Sixian had explored the situation nearby and confirmed that there were no hidden sentries or traps, she pushed open the door and walked in.
The last time she came here, there were still many antique tables, chairs and decorations.
Now all these things have been removed, and the empty reception room gives people an extremely unreal feeling.
He tiptoed to the next room and the black shadow pushed the door slightly open.
Judging from the layout inside, this is a private room.
The faint body fragrance drifted away with a gentle breeze, allowing the black shadow to make his own judgment.
This should be the room of the receptionist named Chu Yi at the reception window.
From her previous investigation, this girl is not only very good-looking, but also has very high IQ and EQ because she often deals with all kinds of guests who come to the teahouse to "taste tea".
If possible, she wouldn't mind recruiting this girl under her command.
But now... ... let's finish other things first.
He closed the door again without making a sound and the dark figure quietly walked towards the second floor.
Although the platform outside the second floor is an open-air tea-tasting place, the room was the study used by the previous boss to check accounts.
She had seen that place before. The only window in the room faced the direction of Feiyunpo. When she opened it, she could see the pavilions and towers outside.
Whether in terms of decoration or area, it is the most luxurious room in the entire teahouse.
If she put herself in his shoes, she would also treat this as her resting room.
After arriving at the study door, the black shadow did not rush in immediately.
She still released her silk thread, but this time she did not open the door directly. Instead, she made sure that Bai Luo on the bed was fast asleep before she opened the bolt little by little.
This time, she was much more cautious than when she opened the door.
In order to ensure that no sound was made, she deliberately opened the door slowly.
It took her a full ten minutes to finally unbolt the door.
However, after opening the bolt, she did not rush to push the door open. Instead, she condensed the water element and let the water elements sink into the hinges to ensure that it would not make any sound. Then she pushed the door open.
There was no light in the room, but her deep blue eyes took in everything in the room.
At the same time, she also saw the document that Bai Luo placed next to her pillow.
The file was half-opened, and it seemed that Bai Luo fell asleep while looking through it.
Looking at Bai Luo who was already fast asleep, the black shadow did not act rashly.
At an absolutely safe distance, she summoned a thread made of water elements, which snaked along the ground like a small azure snake towards the bed.
But she didn't notice that in the darkness, several steel wires that almost merged with the darkness were woven into a big net, waiting for the prey to come.
And the place where she stood was exactly in the center of the net.
Chapter 513: Interwoven Silk Threads
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”
The slight movement of his ears and the noise of the moving wire made the black shadow, who was already on alert, sound alarm bells.
Her eyes suddenly shrank, and the steel wire that was gradually surrounding her came into her sight.
"Silk threads, interweaving!"
Several threads formed by water elements intertwined together and appeared around the black shadow.
The gorgeous water element burst out, impregnating the surrounding steel wires with the element's aura.
Only then did she realize that she had fallen into a trap.
“Swish, swish, swish—”
After realizing that the other party had discovered his trap, Bai Luo no longer concealed it.
After turning over, the operation of the wire was accelerated.
These light-absorbing steel wires instantly entangled towards the black shadow.
Just as Ye Lan would guess his thoughts, he would also reversely deduce the other party's plans.
Bai Luo himself is a master at finding loopholes, so when he took over the teahouse on the rock, he left almost no loopholes.
Even if the Liyue Seven Stars wanted to punish him through other means, it would be impossible.
If we want to resolve the issue of Yanshang Tea House without affecting diplomatic relations, there is only one way.
Let someone who has nothing to do with Liyue General Affairs Department find a way to handle it.
The work of Liyue General Affairs Department is open and transparent. From high-ranking officials of Yujingtai to grassroots employees of the Eight Gates, basic information of all of them is recorded in the government affairs directory.
There are only two people who are deeply trusted by the General Affairs Department but are not on its list.
Beidou and Yelan.
Beidou is definitely not a good option. First of all, she is not good at infiltration. Secondly, she has a certain employment relationship with Ningguang, which is well known to everyone.
So Ye Lan is the best choice.
Because she works for the General Affairs Department, but this person is not found in the General Affairs Department's directory.
Most importantly, she is like a ghost, elusive and unpredictable.
Best at this kind of work.
Since it is impossible to use normal means to deal with things, if he put himself in his shoes, Bai Luo would definitely tamper with the normal contract originally deposited in the Northland Bank.
So he took the contract back from Northland Bank before Ye Lan approached them.
Moreover, he rejected Andre's arrangement and took away the contract in front of a group of people at the busiest time of the evening.
He was also gambling that Ye Lan would find a way to get the contract.
It turned out that he made the right bet.
The trap had already been set when they were at the bank.
If it were him, he would definitely suspect it was a trap when he saw the target openly taking documents from Northland Bank.
Especially someone like Ye Lan who is cautious.
But the document was too important, so she had to come.
Thinking that "it might be a trap", Ye Lan would definitely not get too close to his bed.
But the half-opened file on the bed would make her subconsciously walk to a distance where she could safely read the contents and easily escape.
And this approximate distance is exactly the center of Bai Luo’s ambush point.
"Crunch..."
The aqua blue silk thread and the steel wire that almost blended into the darkness struggled with each other, making a series of creaking sounds.
Ye Lan initially intended to use her own elemental threads to cut off this strange steel wire.
After the silk thread came into contact with the steel wire, she realized that the toughness of the steel wire was beyond her imagination.
The most important thing is... ... this wire looks so familiar.
Seeing that the silk thread was about to reach its limit, a stream of water gradually condensed under Ye Lan's feet.
With a whoosh, with the help of the water flow, Ye Lan did a split pose and pressed her upper body down.
The pitch-black steel wires intertwined together, twisting the aqua blue threads into a pool of liquid.
"receive!"
The scattered water gathered together again, turned into silk threads, and wrapped around her arms.
Ye Lan also stood up and looked at Bai Luo.
After about three seconds of silence, Bai Luo took the first step.
Amid the sound of steel wire, Bai Luo's figure almost blended into the night, quickly approaching Ye Lan.
The dagger in his hand also stabbed towards her lower back.
Ye Lan raised one hand upwards and pulled downwards with the other.
He made an extremely difficult posture and wrapped Bai Luo's dagger with the silk thread in his hand.
At the same time, she was also a little confused.
If you want to take someone's life, wouldn't it be more appropriate to target fatal parts such as the heart, throat, temple, or arteries
Why do both he and her old friend who is suspected to have a relationship with him like to poke around in places like this
But Bai Luo didn't give her much time to think.
The remaining finger gently hooked, and the sound of the steel wire running rang out again. A steel wire had quietly come towards Ye Lan.
Fortunately, when she blew up the water line before, the surrounding steel wires had already been imbued with the breath of the water element.
This steel wire, which is difficult to detect in the dark, is now clearly visible in her elemental vision.
While twisting her body to avoid the steel wire, Ye Lan wrapped the silk thread around Bai Luo's wrist, intending to give him an over-the-shoulder throw.
Unexpectedly, a strong hand pressed on her back.
The big hand was warm, and even through a layer of nightgown, Ye Lan could feel the strength used.
No matter how hard she tried, the other person's body was like an immovable mountain, motionless.
After realizing that Bai Luo's strength was beyond her imagination, she immediately changed her strategy and tightened the silk thread to strangle Bai Luo's wrist.
With a light exclamation, Ye Lan found that her silk thread had cut off the opponent's wrist without any hindrance.
No... ...experience told her that the silk thread that had just shrunk did not get entangled in anything.
Not only that, the hand that was originally pressed against her back also quietly disappeared.
It was as if there was no one behind her.
After a moment, the feeling of having substance returned.
But the other party had already wrapped his arms around her neck, intending to strangle her to death.
That's the trick!
Ye Lan reacted quickly. After her investigation, she learned that the other party had the ability to consume his own lifespan and make himself invulnerable to any harm.
But she never expected that the other party would use this ability, which could be called a taboo, so casually.
The water gradually filled the gap between herself and her disguise, separating the two.
She was like a slippery fish, breaking away from the empty shell of the nightgown and escaping from Bai Luo's control.
Under the influence of the silk thread, she, wearing a backless tights, broke open the window in front of her, jumped out, and rushed towards Chihu Rock like a ghost.
Bai Luo looked at the nightgown that was still dripping in his hand, and the layer of strange substance that looked like human skin. After throwing it away, he also jumped out of the window.
And the speed at which he jumped out of the window was a few points faster than Ye Lan.
Chapter 514 Ye Lan's Worries
“Ahahaha… what bad luck.”
Yi Kuo, carrying a white tasseled spear, walked listlessly on the street of Chihuyan.
Because he was caught being lazy, as punishment, he was given the task of patrolling the streets at night.
According to the coach, "Don't you like sleeping during the day? Well, I'll let you sleep as much as you want! From today on, you'll be on night watch!"
Take night watch for example. Although the salary is slightly higher than that of ordinary people, it is definitely not a good job.
Although there are no annoying business disputes at night.
But the treasure-hunting gangs that sneaked into the city, the drunken shipyard workers, the petty thieves
Either way, it would be much more difficult than during the day.
