Even though he immediately chased to the first floor, Xia De was still a step slow.
When he reached the first floor, he just saw Miss Beas being dragged into the side corridor by a man wearing white gloves with a reluctant look on her face.
Even if ladies wore gloves to attend banquets, they were generally lace gloves with very complicated styles and craftsmanship, while ordinary white gloves were mostly worn by men.
"Miss Beas is in trouble?"
Xia De frowned and followed immediately. Of course, before pushing open the door and entering the corridor, he asked the waiter in the banquet hall what the corridor was used for.
"Sir, that leads to the kitchen, and there is also an empty room for the chefs in the back kitchen to rest."
A chef who can cook and prepare snacks and drinks for a banquet of this level is indeed worthy of a special lounge.
Xia De nodded and walked into the corridor. Although ordinary guests were not allowed to enter this "staff area", Xia De was not an ordinary guest.
The banquet was in the middle of its course and the kitchen was still busy. The corridor through which the dining cart passed was not here, so there was no one in the corridor. One could only vaguely hear the voices of a man and a woman discussing today's dishes at the corner at the end of the corridor.
Because of the location and layout, there were rooms on only one side of the corridor, and the other side was full of walls with paintings. And since there was no commotion around the corner, it meant that the person who had forced Miss Bei Yasi to come here did not take her away from this corridor.
"There are five rooms in total... Can you find Miss Beas?"
My perception can only work at close range. No, even if you are right next to the door, it won't work unless the other person is also right next to the door.
Although there was no sound of fighting and no obvious signs of magic being released, Shade was still a little worried about the slightly immature girl.
I hesitated in front of the door and was about to knock on it to test it when the woman's voice in my ear finally gave me a hint:
There are traces of the Whispering Element behind the third door, almost right behind it.
"Didn't you say that I had to see the relic before you could feel the whispering element?"
As Shad thought about it, he tiptoed towards the third door.
This time is different. The relic this time is very special. You can understand that it is spreading power spontaneously.
"clear."
He checked the holy emblem brooch of the disposable sunlight gun in his pocket, then held the gun in his right hand - the normal one, while his left hand lit up with the color of the silver moon.
I tried to keep the movements as light as possible, then tiptoed to the door. I didn't hear any sound from inside. So I counted to three in my mind, bent my waist slightly, exerted force on my legs, held my breath, and slammed into the door.
The sound of the door slamming was drowned out by the noisy sounds coming from the banquet hall. After Xia De rushed in, he didn't feel the door hitting anyone, so he rolled neatly on the ground and flipped into the room.
But he was not attacked. Instead, he heard footsteps fleeing towards the bedroom of the suite:
"Want to run? This person is definitely not a good person. Why would a good person run?"
Probably because you don't look like a good person.
"Don't bother me."
Miss Bei Yasi was probably held hostage, and the footsteps were not chaotic, indicating that the other party had only one person. In this case, the other party ran away, which obviously showed that the other party was not strong, or was worried that Miss Bei Yasi and the intruder would attack together.
"He should be just a low-level warlock."
Thinking this way, he chased into the room, kicked open the closed bedroom door, and then saw a quilt flying towards him like a solid wall:
"What kind of move is this?"
Worried that this was a trap, he simply used the silver moon in his hand to tear the quilt in front of him. He pointed the gun forward and kept his attention ready to let the silver moon tear the enemy apart at any time, but he took a step forward and found himself stepping on a bed sheet. Before Xia De could react, the bed sheet was quickly pulled by an invisible force, and then he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The bed sheet quickly wrapped him up, but with just a light stroke from the light in his hand, the bed sheet turned into rags. Smoke quickly spread in the room at this time. The other party probably didn't want Xia De to see his face.
"Which direction is the Whispering Element?"
Right in front of you.
When he stood up, he saw the bed in the bedroom flying straight up, as if it wanted to crush him:
"We can't let him escape."
After confirming that there was no wind in the room and seeing the thick curtains covering the windows through the spreading fog, Xia De ignored the bed pressing against him and stretched out his fingers, letting the silver moonlight bloom on his fingertips.
You want to...
"Silver Moon!"
The next moment, it was as if a silver sun exploded in the room. The sudden brightness even caused Shade, a magic user, to feel severe eye discomfort.
The flying wooden bed was also split into two pieces by the light of the silver moon. Xia De kicked the split wood apart and maintained the high-brightness light in the room. He vaguely saw two figures trying to escape from the window in the light.
"Why are both of them women? Huh? Why is Miss Bei Yasi running away?"
He rushed forward with a gun in each hand, and before the light from his fingertips faded, he pointed at the backs of the two women, one on the left and one on the right.
"Don't move, anyone who moves will be killed!"
The moonlight completely extinguished at the fingertips, and the room seemed to be steamed and unusually dry. All the objects still had the afterglow of the silver moon, and the holy appearance could even be said to be an unknown sanctuary.
The figure of Miss Bei Yasi on the left dissipated like bubbles, and at the same time, the sound of thunder came from behind her.
His wrist hurt, and his right hand dropped the pistol uncontrollably. However, Shade did not pick it up. Instead, he looked at Miss Annat, who was wearing an evening gown, in surprise:
"Is it you?"
Miss Anat heard the familiar voice, put down the golden knife in her hand, turned around and looked at Xia De (note) in surprise with her purple eyes:
"It's you!"
Behind Shade, Miss Bei Yasi, who was holding the sun gun and was about to pierce his head, also stopped. Although her eyes were injured, her ears were still working well. She also asked in surprise:
"Is it you?"
The three of them stood there in a daze, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
Shad, whose eyes were intact, and Miss Annat looked at each other. Shad was surprised that Miss Annat's eyes were not injured.
This kind of encounter was not in their plan, but they obviously couldn't leave at this moment. The young detective and the fortune teller wanted to use their eyes to ask each other what was going on.
"Ms. Beas, you actually know Miss Anat?"
Before Miss Beas realized that something was wrong, Shad asked in a tone as if he had been deceived:
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
Miss Annat looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect Shade to ask this.
Miss Beatrice began to stammer:
"Yes, I know... Wait..."
She also responded:
"That's not right. Why should I be questioned by you? Detective, you also know Miss Anat? Come to think of it, could it be that..."
Although Miss Beatrice's eyes were temporarily injured, her head was not injured:
"Wait a minute, how do you two know each other? No, this is not right! Detective, tell me, what's going on?"
