Vol 4 Chapter 1039: Whirlpool event

Ding Dong~
The elevator carried the two to the top floor of the hotel.
On the shell pattern wall, there is a hollow wall lamp two meters apart.
Rooms are arranged symmetrically and regularly on both sides of the passage lined with gray wool carpets.
The top of the corridor also uses some exquisite black wood with a ribbon pattern, which is used as a ‘line’ decoration.
There are also curved glass booths between the rooms, where various dark-style artworks are placed, or Renaissance paintings are hung on the walls.
At this moment, the door of the third room on the left opened slowly.
An elderly resident, with one hand holding the candle in his palm, and one hand holding the wall slowly out... His eyes and pupils were full of fatigue and panic, even trance.
When the resident caught a glimpse of Han Dong with Yu Guang, his fear escalated into fear, and he immediately returned to the room like a ghost.
Kaka~ The continuous locking sound keeps coming from the inside.
"It was..."
Even though the resident only appeared in Han Dong's field of vision for less than a second, 90% of the image characteristics have been memorized.
Except for some common characteristics of the dark residents and the ‘morbid’ manifestations caused by severe insomnia.
The little finger of the old man's right hand showed a "spiral shape"...In comparison, it was far less than Han Dong's glimpse of the spiral arm last night.
Both the degree of spiral and the coverage area of ​​the spiral are completely inferior.
Moreover, the old man did not exude danger, or made Han Dong feel uneasy... However, through [Anubis Divinity]'s perception of death, Han Dong could probably see that this old man might be in Died recently.
"Is this ‘spiral’ a disease?"
With doubts, Han Dong opened his room with his room card.
Just opened the door!
Ga~ The sound of straight lines came from the top.
A black shadow suddenly fell, because the neck was tied with a rope, and his feet were just one centimeter off the ground.
It was the little girl at the front desk who appeared in the guest room in a "hanging" manner.
With such a weird way of appearing on the stage, Marites almost squirted water in fright.
Han Dong is quite commonplace. After seeing his spiritual invasion succeeded, he hurried into the house.
After conducting a comprehensive inspection of this room for the first time and confirming that there was no "ears in the partition wall", Han Dong sat in the rocking chair in the corner and started talking with the little girl at the front desk hanging in the middle of the room.
Marites also sat on one of Han Dong's lap with interest, wanting to hear the weird stories in London.
"What do you want to know?" The extremely hoarse voice overflowed from the strangled neck.
"Aren't you having a hard time talking like this? How about putting the rope down and speaking normally?"
"Such a state is'normal' for us... [Dark Residents] in the City of London have more or less quirks that can help us concentrate."
"Fine……"
Han Dong quickly accepted this setting and entered the "question and answer session."
"What is your name, what unit do you belong to, and is it related to the detective?"
"Eileen Yukie, born at 83 Besson Street, London, originally worked for a newspaper. She was forced to work here because she participated in the report and investigated a'vortex case'.
I have no direct relationship with the Intelligence Bureau, but their people often contact me to inquire about the situation in the hotel. "
Han Dong touched his chin and continued to ask, "What do you mean by the'special period' you just mentioned?
Why is the hotel only the top floor open, and the staff here seems to have been transferred?
Who are the residents on the top floor? "
When it came to this issue, the little girl at the front desk hesitated a little. She seemed to have a line of defense in her heart about this kind of problem, but she was quickly broken by "crazy laugh."
The "special period" refers to the "vortex period."
The city of London is now shrouded in the shadow of [the whirlpool], especially the low- and middle-level residents are greatly affected and panic all day long.
There were more than ten whirlpool incidents in this [Cavendish Royal Hotel] some time ago, so that all the employees here resigned, the hotel was ordered to suspend operations by the administrative department, and it was used for temporary shelter of ‘vortex related personnel’.
The people on the top floor are all dark residents who have experienced the whirlpool event but survived accidentally... Their condition is very unstable, most of them will die within a few days, and the rest will disappear. "
The answer from the little girl at the front desk directly filled Han Dong's interest.
"Oh?...Can you tell me what you know about the whirlpool event?"
"The origin of the rumored "vortex event" is related to the ‘participants’ who appeared in the City of London through Destiny a few months ago.
During that time, as ordinary residents, we were restricted in movement.
I was resting at home during that time, and I never saw the so-called ‘participants’, but later learned through the newspaper that they were all dead.
A few days later, a weird serial murder occurred in the outer city of London.
Even if high-level agents are dispatched, it is difficult to find clues.
Part of the body of the dead is often twisted into a spiral.
The survivors involved will also die in an exaggerated "spiral state" within a few days or completely disappear after leaving a whirlpool mark in the room.
Only a handful of high-level agents can occasionally catch a glimpse of the ‘ghost figure with a twisted whole body’. UU read www.uukanshu.com but could not find the culprit.
Because "vortex events" frequently occur in urban areas, especially residential areas with high population density.
Nowadays, many residents in the middle and lower levels are eager to leave the City of London. "
Hearing this, part of Han Dong's doubts was solved.
As Han Dong guessed, the incident he was involved in was related to the previous [participant incident].
But as part of the doubts are solved, new doubts are generated.
Han Dong asked, "Isn't this a city governed by [mother] under the royal title deed? Combining his old king abilities with the "land deed power" should be able to directly locate the culprit?
Or send a mythological entity to deal with this matter, and it won't cause the whole city to panic, right? "
"It's difficult for strange demons like us to get in touch with [mother].
Rumor has it that the mother is going through an important ceremony and cannot get away.
[Grand Duke Vlad] has been commissioned to investigate the "vortex incident", but the incident has not made much progress. "
Han Dong is very clear that the so-called [Grand Duke Vlad] must be a mythological entity.
As for the strength of the mythological body, Han Dong, who had just been cultivated in the underground stone temple of Enkai, was very clear. He could definitely reach the leader level... Investigation of the existence of this level did not make much progress. Strange.
"Is it really impossible to find it, or did it deliberately not?"
Just when Han Dong fell into contemplation.
Squeak~
A sharp metal cracking sound came from outside the door.
I saw a wave of void light and shadow floating between Han Dong's feet, and the whole person had reached the front door from the corner.
Click!
The door opened suddenly.
There is nothing in the channel.
Only a "vortex" mark was left on the guest room door.
