This was Lylian's home . After a brief moment of hesitation, Xinghe walked into the building . Even though she had no idea what she was going to do next, she knew she had to get to know Lylian . Perhaps she could find out more from Lylian .
The building was truly creepy; there was barely any light in the corridor . Xinghe's every footstep was amplified by the silence of the night . Even her breathing was clear in the night . The darkness of the place seemed to heighten her other senses . The overall silent environment also weighed down heavily on her .
Xinghe took careful steps upstairs . Before she reached the second floor, Xinghe heard a sudden 'Dong!' that appeared out of nowhere . Xinghe stopped moving and managed to confirm that the sound indeed came from the second floor .
'Dong…' It happened again . This time Xinghe was sure it came from Lylian's room . Advertisement
For some reason, Xinghe felt a bad omen rise up within her . She clenched her teeth and ran up the stairs . It did not take her long to reach Lylian's room door . Xinghe stood before her door and knocked on it lightly . There was no immediate response coming from within .
Xinghe knocked for a few more times before a man replied in a whisper, "Who is it?"
Xinghe was startled by the voice of a man . The hotel manager did not tell her whether Lylian stayed alone or not, so she had a hard time telling the man's relationship to Lylian .
"Good afternoon, I'm looking for Lylian," Xinghe said truthfully .
"We're resting, come back tomorrow!" the man replied with impatience, and all of a sudden, the light in the room was switched off . The place lost its only light source, and Xinghe could barely see in front of her .
Xinghe whipped out her phone and pressed a few random buttons . She stared at the door and purposely said, "Lylian has disappeared, come over now and remember to bring the thing . "
Just as Xinghe said that, the door was suddenly opened, and a large shadowy male figure pounced at her like a beast attacking from the dark . Rushing ahead of him was a gust of wind . There was the smell of blood in the wind…
Xinghe was already prepared, so when the door was opened, she raised her leg and kicked at the space before her .
The man groaned from the kick to his abdomen, and he faltered for a few steps back . However, the next second, he recovered and launched himself at her again . This time he was faster and fiercer . Xinghe countered, but he nimbly avoided it, and before Xinghe could react, he clamped his hands over Xinghe's neck!
However, she did not lose her calm; she reacted reflexively and aimed at her assailant's lower body . She underestimated the man's skill . A normal ruffian was no match Xinghe, but it was obvious that this man was no normal ruffian . He had a unique savage sharpness to him that was unique to assassin!
Xinghe by then knew something had happened to Lylian, and her main focus then was to escape . However, her every counter or attack was negated by the man . Finally, Xinghe was grabbed from behind by the assassin, and his arm gripped tightly around her neck . At the same time, he raised his other hand, and Xinghe could see the glint of cold steel reflect the dim light of the moon .
Just as the knife was about to puncture Xinghe's body, a dagger suddenly pierced the back of the man's hand .
