Snow Rabbit, who fell into a coma, had a dream. In the dream, a man holding a harp in his arms was sitting under the moonlight, playing the strings with his nimble fingers, playing a melody that sounded a bit sad. She recalled that she had dreamed about this person in the past, but never as clearly as now.
She was attracted by the man's music and walked towards him involuntarily. Although the ghost mask on his face looked a bit scary, she didn't feel scary at all. He felt so familiar to her, and her intuition told her that that person had an unusual relationship with her.
For some reason, Kotone was suddenly interrupted by the conversation between two men. Snow Rabbit listened carefully, and one of the voices was the man who pretended to be a waiter at the hotel and called her to open the door. The other voice also seemed familiar to her. If she recalled it carefully, it turned out to be the waiter in the hotel.
"Then the little girl isn't awake yet, is she?"
"Do you think the effects of my drug will wear off so easily?!"
"We have been in the royal city for so long, and finally we have found a decent product! We can't sell her easily this time, we must sell her for a good price! She alone is as good as those we caught before Got it!"
"I know, after all, eating and drinking in the royal city during this period has cost a lot of money."
"Haha, I was so angry with that damn donkey boss because of the girl who was lurking in the hotel waiting to check in alone. Tonight, I must go back again, and I must set a fire to burn down his hotel. !”
"Don't make such a big noise. We finally got it. We'll set off early tomorrow morning before dawn. We'll go to Miancheng and sell these girls, and then we can live happily for a long time!"
"I'm not willing to accept it. I thought I was a big thief back then, but now I'm involved in the slave trade. Even a small hotel owner dares to bully my grandpa. I must make him look good."
"Oh, I can't persuade you. Brother, I can go with you tonight!"
Xuetu carefully opened her eyes a crack and found that she was trapped in a sack. She guessed that she had probably encountered slave traders, and the reason why she was targeted by them just after she checked into that hotel. The reason is precisely because the guy himself is a part of it. Lest they hurt herself, she could only pretend to be in a coma and wait for an opportunity to escape.
I didn't expect that my plan to fly away would go so poorly. I had already fallen into the trap of the bad guys before I even left the royal city. In the past, her mother Miao Xueyou and her uncle Wang Yue often reminded her of how dangerous the outside world was, but she always dismissed it. Only now did she understand that what they said was true.
From the conversation between the two people just now, she could tell that she was not the only girl kidnapped by them. They were probably around her now. No wonder she felt hot and stuffy. She decided to escape from here while they went to the hotel to cause trouble at night, and maybe free the other girls too.
But it turns out that the two slave traders are much smarter than she imagined.
After about two hours, they planned to go to the small hotel as planned. Before leaving, the man who was lurking in the hotel as a waiter said to the other: "I said, don't let the ducks fly away again after they have reached their mouths. Give them some drugs and let them sleep well." We brothers are back. Hehe, and I have an idea!"
"What other evil ideas do you have?" the person who tied up Snow Rabbit asked, while knocking out some medicinal powder from a small jar and blowing it in the direction of Snow Rabbit and the other girls.
"Hey, hey, be careful! You almost blew it in my face! It's hard to find a beautiful one, I don't believe you didn't have that idea?! Hahaha!"
"When you say that, hehe..."
Although Snow Rabbit didn't quite understand what those two people meant, she also predicted from their sinister laughter that it was definitely not a good thing. But at this time, the effect of the drug took effect again. She felt that her whole body became weak and weak again, and she lost consciousness.
Xia Qiu helped send Miao Xueyou, who was in a daze, back to Wutong Center, and then met Ouyang Xiaoleng, Qianqi and Lingyu on the shopping street to look for the snow rabbit. It was long past dinner time, but the teenagers didn't feel hungry at all. They were still shocked by the fact that the traitor was Miao Xueyou, but what made them even more worried was that Snows hare.
Because they heard from Miaoxueyu that Yukito left in a hurry and didn't have much money with her, they speculated that she might not go too far, and they also thought that she was usually very fond of the few small shops on the shopping street. Interested, they decided to go to these small shops to look for clues first.
They asked the owners of several small shops, but they were all told that they had not seen any snow rabbits that day. Just when he was disappointed, Qian Qi suddenly bumped into the vendor who occasionally came to the royal city to sell fireworks. The hawker recognized him at a glance. He walked all the way to meet him with a smile and asked, "I met you again. What do you want to buy today? I've got a lot of new products recently!"
"I came here today to find a little girl!" Qian Qi put his hand on his chest and described, "She is about this tall."
"You're not talking about Snow Rabbit, are you? I've talked to her, and I've seen her with you guys before." The vendor said without hesitation.
"Yes, have you seen her today?" Qian Qi seemed to have seen a glimmer of light.
"I've seen her before. It's a coincidence. Just a few hours ago, when I arrived in the royal city, I saw her hurriedly walking past the shopping street. She looked worried. I said hello to her, but she didn't hear her. ." The vendor nodded and responded.
"Did you see which way she went?" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked anxiously.
"It seems like that little alley over there." The vendor pointed behind her, then continued with a strange expression on her face, "She's a little girl who doesn't know what she's doing there."
"I know that small alley. There are some taverns and romantic places in there, as well as a small hotel. The Snow Rabbit might be there!" Ouyang Xiaoleng suddenly thought of the inconspicuous hotel and thought to himself That was indeed a good place to hide. If the vendor hadn't happened to see Snow Rabbit, he would never have thought that he would run into that alley.
"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's go!" Qianqi said and turned to the shop owner, "Thank you very much, boss! I'll come back later to take a look at your new goods."
"Okay, go find that little girl!" The vendor waved goodbye to them.
Ouyang Xiaoleng led everyone towards the small alley. The entrance to the alley was hidden behind a store. Although it was connected to the shopping street, it seemed like a completely different world, or rather this The alley itself is incompatible with the atmosphere of the entire royal city.
It is the darkest corner of the royal city. Even though the business on the shopping street is not what it used to be, this dirty alley is still as lively and lively as it has been for hundreds of years. Every time this time comes, there will be a flood of men. They all poured into this alley. Ling Yu was very familiar with such a place. When he first walked in, he smelled the smell of male animal hormones.
Xia Qiu, on the other hand, was made dizzy by the faint smell coming from the sewers. The men leaning against the wall on both sides of the alley and talking to the fireworks women were all wearing sloppy clothes, and their blurred eyes were full of desire. It made her feel uncomfortable all over.
Ouyang Xiaoleng reached out and grabbed her hand with one hand, comforting her and saying, "Follow me!"
Although there was no warmth in his palm, she still felt much more relaxed than before, and she held his hand tighter. Qianqi and Lingyu also tried their best to protect her from both sides. They really didn't want those men to have any wrong thoughts about her, even if they thought about it.
The small hotel called Sparrow is located at the end of this alley. Unlike the bustling pubs and romantic places, this place seems much deserted. They pushed the door open and walked into the hotel, only to find that there was no one at the counter. Qianqi picked up the copper bell on the counter and rang it for a long time before the owner of the hotel appeared in front of them at a trot.
He wiped the sweat off his head and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, I kept several customers waiting for so long! The waiter in the store suddenly left without saying goodbye, and now I am left to work alone."
Ouyang Xiaoleng raised his left arm and let the boss look at the sterling silver fox armband on his upper arm.
"You... are you the Demon King Fox?!" The boss was so excited that he didn't know what to do. The most noble person in the demon world was right in front of him, making him almost fall to his knees.
Ouyang Xiaoleng grabbed him and said, "No need to salute. Let me ask you, is there a little girl staying in your store today?"
"To tell you the truth, my clerk is usually responsible for registration in the store. Now that he leaves, I can't tell who is living in the store." The donkey-faced boss said a little timidly.
"Can we always find out who checked in today?" Ouyang Xiaoleng continued to ask.
"Let me take a look!" the hotel owner responded as he trotted around behind the counter. He took out the registration slip and looked through it carefully, muttering to himself, "Those who checked in today... Those who checked in today, here they are!"
Ouyang Xiaoleng looked along the place pointed out to them by the boss. There were not many people checking in that day, only five people. He ordered the boss: "Take us to these rooms to see!"
"Okay, no problem!" The boss quickly showed them the way.
They followed the boss to investigate every guest room that had guests staying that day, but unfortunately none of the guests staying in them were snow rabbits.
"How could this happen?" Qian Qi was a little confused.
Ouyang Xiaoleng remembered that the boss had just mentioned that the clerk in the store suddenly left, so he asked: "Is there anything strange about the clerk you mentioned?"
"That's not the case. He is surprisingly obedient and doesn't care about wages. I thought I was getting a huge advantage, but I didn't expect that this guy would stop working if he didn't want to." The mention of that guy made the boss very angry. As soon as he hit it, heavy breath came out of his huge nostrils, and his voice amplified several times, but he soon realized that the Lord of the Demon Realm was still in front of him, and he was so frightened that he lowered his head.
Ling Yu, who had not said a word since entering the hotel, suddenly asked: "Is there any room that is empty?"
"Huh? It's empty. Why do you suddenly think of asking this?" Qian Qi didn't understand what Ling Yu meant.
"I just remembered that when I was in the underground city, I had some dealings with slave traders who sold girls to romantic places. Among them, there were also guys hanging out in hotels waiting to prey on single women." Ling Yu responded. .
