Chapter 341: The Elusive Ghosts
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After MO Ruyue had checked into the room, she had not left the room at all. It was as if she was not thirsty or hungry, and she did not need to take a bath.
If it was in any other city, the people of “Lucky Restaurant” would still play their roles, but in Forest City, they didn’t even have the interest to pretend.
Anyway, no one would believe that they were really running a restaurant business here, especially since such a big thing had happened to the organization. Everyone in the building was in a state of panic, so they couldn’t care less about putting on an act.
So after MO Ruyue moved in, being able to stay on her own silently was exactly what they wanted. How could they take the initiative to find trouble?
However, such an “obedient” customer would never see the sun tomorrow after tonight. Who asked him to be so stubborn and stay in such a “closed” restaurant? This was called “you don’t take the road to heaven, but you break into hell without a door”.
They had long regarded MO Ruyue as a dead man, so they wouldn’t bother to “serve” him.
Before the sky had completely darkened, the streets of Lin City were already empty. By the time the night fell, most of the lights in the city had already been extinguished. Even the entire building of “Lucky Inn” was pitch black, without a single light.
A black shadow appeared out of nowhere, and then another one, two… The restaurant, which originally didn’t even have a ghost’s shadow when MO Ruyue checked in, suddenly had seven or eight black shadows appear.
They went up the stairs silently, walked out of the restaurant’s door, and climbed up from the outside wall. They almost blocked all of MO Ruyue’s escape routes.
No matter what this person’s identity was, or what his purpose in coming to the restaurant was, since he couldn’t be persuaded to leave, then he would make him stay completely.
The few of them had already laid out an inescapable net to ensure that the “kid” who was staying would not be able to escape even if he had wings. Although the kid should have some martial arts foundation, it was not necessary to use so many people to kill him.
However, the manager of this restaurant had said that even a goshawk had to use all its strength to hunt a rabbit. Now was a critical period. It was better to kill the wrong person than to let the person go, and even more so, it was not possible to let the person escape because of carelessness.
Therefore, almost everyone, except for the person in charge, had turned out for tonight’s murder.
They quietly came to MO Ruyue’s door and carefully listened to the movements in the room.
There was no light in the room, and it was very quiet. It seemed like the person inside had already fallen asleep, but there was not even the sound of sleeping breathing, which was very strange.
The few of them had their faces covered, only revealing pairs of bright eyes.
They were all veterans in this kind of work, so when they discovered this abnormal phenomenon, they immediately looked at each other.
I’m sure that person never came out of the room!
The person in charge of keeping an eye on the situation in the room repeatedly made hand gestures to defend himself. If he was accused of negligence at this time, he would have to bear the consequences!
Where’s the person who didn’t come out? There was no movement in the room at all!
The other person also retorted with a hand gesture. Even if the kid could hold his breath for a long time, he couldn’t let his heart stop, right?
Now, not only was there no breathing sound, but there was also no faint heartbeat.
The person in charge of tailing them didn’t know how to explain himself. He had been staring at this room with his eyes wide open, so how could he know where the person in the room had gone!
Could it be that he could fly and disappear into thin air?
“That’s enough, you two. Get ready and charge together!”
A person who was obviously the leader of the group during their usual operations interrupted their dispute. No matter what the situation was inside the house, they were fully prepared and naturally had to rush in.
The tacit understanding between them allowed them to quickly adjust their conditions. After receiving the signal from their leader, they broke through the door together.
All kinds of hidden weapons and poisonous needles were first used to seal the window position, then the bed position. As for the other two, one went behind the door, and the other went straight to the cabinet in the room. With a flash of the snow-white blade, they directly stabbed out.
Some even jumped up to the roof beams and searched every possible hiding spot in the house.
However, the entire room was empty. The person who should have been in the room was gone.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Seeing this result, the person in charge of keeping an eye on them immediately became anxious.
There were people watching outside the window and the door. He was responsible for the door. If the person didn’t go out through the window, it was even more impossible to go out through the door.
“Where is he?”
The leader asked in a low voice.
He was starting to suspect if the person on the tail had really been careless, so much so that he didn’t even know that he had disappeared.
“Captain, I swear that I’m not lying. If I’ve lost him due to my negligence, I’m willing to bear the most brutal torture of the blood tower, without a word of complaint!”
The person in charge of keeping an eye on them was forced to swear an oath. This oath was the cruelest and most vicious to all the people in the blood
tower. Although they did not even blink when they were harvesting lives, they were extremely cautious and avoided swearing an oath.
Seeing that he had made the oath without hesitation, the leader had already believed his words a little.
At the same time, he had to admit that this tenant was too strange. If he really didn’t leave the house, where was he now?
They searched around the building a few more times, but still couldn’t find any traces of anyone leaving. At this time, everyone felt a chill on their backs.
Could it be that the person was a ghost that appeared and disappeared like a ghost?
Although no one said it out loud, everyone could see it in the eyes of the others.
“Clean up the traces and let’s retreat!”
Although the leader was shocked for a moment, he quickly calmed down and immediately gave instructions for the next step.
Everyone followed his instructions and began to clean the room in an orderly manner. They replaced the paper windows that had been pierced by hidden weapons, repaired the door that had been kicked and damaged, and repaired all the places in the room that had been pierced by hidden weapons. They only left when they could not see any traces without looking carefully.
“Tonight, everyone will split into four groups and take turns to monitor the area outside the window and the door. I don’t believe that this person will really disappear!”
After the leader gave his last order for the night, he could only helplessly follow the manager to report the situation.
Just after everyone had left MO Ruyue’s room, in just a joss stick’s time, the two groups of people who were staring outside the window and outside the door suddenly realized in horror that the room that no one had entered and left before suddenly lit up.
The paper window clearly reflected the figure of the tenant who had just moved in today.
However, they had just rushed into the house and turned it upside down. After confirming that there was no one inside, with the repeated instructions of the leader, a total of four people were staring at the house with good eyes. Now the light in the house was on, and the figure was reflected on the window!
Where did the person in the room come from?
The people who saw this scene shivered at the same time.. With so many eyes staring at them, could it be that they were all hallucinating?
