Chapter 19: .thorn! (in)

The Bingquan Hotel is a semi-official state-owned asset of Agnesa. The first to third floors are open to all travelers, and the security is not particularly strict. However, there are strong guards on the fourth floor and above, and all people stay inside Leading figures in politics.
The entire second floor looks like a labyrinth of elliptical cloisters. The entrance is in the outer cloister. The stairs leading to the third floor need to bypass the entire floor to enter the inner cloister. In the empty room on the right side of the staircase entrance, Secor, who sneaked in with the help of shadow escape, was leaning against the wall and waiting for Velut's follow-up arrangements.
"The patrol slot is here soon, ready to listen to my password..." Virut was distracted, and while constantly asking the bee about the monitoring status, he calmly continued to transmit his voice.
When the time came, Velut gave an order, and the Shadow Assassin escaped from the room as it was, and proceeded as fast as possible without a sound. He flashed the sight of the guards through the empty room on the second floor, passed the corridor like a ghost, and quickly went upstairs smoothly.
The third floor of the hotel has a different layout. There is only a corridor on the outer floor. The center is a fully enclosed guard pavilion built of steel. The stairs leading to the fourth floor are inside the guard booth. There are also lights shining everywhere in the corridor, and there is no dark corner. The entire third floor is currently unoccupied, only two pairs of guards are slowly patrolling along the outer corridor, and they will greet each other after meeting.
Saikor still concealed into the room at the entrance of the stairs, quietly waiting for the follow-up news, Velut whispered to the monster bee: "Has the third-tier power changed its defense?"
"Not yet...I can't get in the guard box. The last time I saw Duolin..."
Dorin... This brainless muscular man was easy to deal with, but the late defender made Virut somewhat worried. He pondered for a moment and was about to give instructions, when the demon bee suddenly shouted: "Here is a change of defense! It's the wolf girl Fenia!"
The wolf girl... It's not difficult to deal with the beasts, Virut thought for a while and replied: "Closely monitor and update progress at any time."
The demon bee silently manipulated the monitoring point on the third floor. Through the bee and insect, she could clearly see a enchanting woman in a green-gray tight-fitting leather armor walking into the sentry box with a slender waist. She waited quietly for a while, but no one came out, a little surprised.
"Dolin didn't come out..." she told the truth, without any personal opinion.
Didn't come out? Virut's heart was tense, and he was about to ask carefully. Saiker's impatient voice came in his mind: "Hey! Isn't it all right? Waiting until my feet are sore!"
... This impatient guy, Virut cursed secretly, and the sound transmission explained: "The situation has changed. It is the wolf girl who has changed defense, and Duolin has not come out yet..."
"It's all young people, what's to be afraid of! Let's get started, it's too boring to wait!" Saiker interrupted him impatiently, and habitually touched the dagger on his waist and complained.
...If it weren't too far away, Velut would have the heart to strangle this guy, but now that time is running out, there is really no hesitation, he thought about it and made a plan. "Get ready..." Velut asked the bee to continue monitoring the sentry box, and Transmitter issued instructions, "Launch."
"Received!" Saiker replied excitedly, opened the door and stuck it to the corner of the corridor. He listened carefully to the sound of footsteps coming from a distance, and took out a thumb-sized amount from the buckle. Smoky bomb.
Not long after, the two gray-clothed guards walked around the corner with a smile, and suddenly they felt that their eyes were dark. When they were about to start calling, they were locked in their throats by an unstoppable force. With two crisp bones cracking almost simultaneously, the guards fell soft and could not move.
The black fog quickly subsided, and Saiker calmly picked up the two corpses one by one, walked a few steps back and threw them into the room, gently closing the door. He walked small steps around to the opposite side of the corridor, and then eliminated the remaining two patrol guards in the same way, and then quickly hid in front of the central guard post. He looked forward against the crystal stone wall at the corner, the airtight iron door was still locked, and no movement was heard.
"What to do?" He leaned back against the wall with his arms folded, and asked Velut through voice.
"...There is no time, push them out and use that."
"That? Are you sure?"
"The animalized person has a very sensitive sense of smell, she definitely can't stand it with that."
"Okay!" Saiker grinned, as if looking forward to this plan. He flashed silently outside the gate of the sentry box, glanced at a gap at the bottom of the iron gate, and reached out to take out a sealed light-proof bottle from the back of his belt. He carefully opened the mouth of the bottle and put it on the ground. After a while, a small flat black beetle slowly crawled out of the bottle.
The beetle was about half the size of a thumb. It stopped at the mouth of the bottle and kept shaking its tentacles, seeming to visit the threat ahead. Saiker squatted down and stabbed it lightly, and the black beetle slowly crawled forward. It stopped by the seam of the door to explore its size, shaking its and swiftly sneaking in like ooze. The Shadow Assassin carefully looked around again, pulled down the sunglasses on his forehead, tapped his toes, and flew up to the high-hanging crystal lamp holder outside the door like catkins, and took out two black smoke bombs to prepare.
After a while, a sharp woman exclaimed "It's stinking!" from the guard box, the door suddenly opened, and a young woman wearing tight leather armor rushed out. She squeezed her nose tightly with her hands in a panic. Her long brown hair was scattered and her leather armor was mostly slanted. It was obvious that she was doing something good in the house.
Then there was a burst of loud laughter, and a naked-chested man quickly ran out following her. This man is almost taller than the iron gate, his muscles are shiny, his short blond hair is tied into a few small braids and hangs behind his head. There is a huge golden ring around his ears, and a black sheath knife is worn around his waist.
The muscular man laughed a few times. Seeing the woman holding on to the corner, bending over and retching, he quickly walked forward and patted her back jokingly: "Baby, a little bug scared you like this? You too Cowardly!"
"Buckling! Dare to... vomit... dare to laugh at my old lady! vomit..." The wolf girl ate a stink bullet unsuspectingly, and her nausea hit her so hard that she could not stand firmly, her nose tip There was still faint pain.
The muscular man Dorin laughed again, and wanted to comfort her a few words. Suddenly, he heard two extremely light cracking sounds, and his eyes were instantly dark. He subconsciously hugged the wolf girl beside him, her whole body shining with golden light, blessing her skin with a layer of light armor that was as strong as steel.
Although the wolf girl's condition is extremely poor right now, she still gritted her teeth and mobilized her divine power. A gray divine light floated through her. Her enchanting face instantly turned into a ferocious wolf head, her hands and claws protruding, and her arms were full of black hair, just like a woman. Half-man, half-wolf monster.
The reaction of the two hotel guards was not slow, but the Shadow Assassin obviously didn't care about it. In the next second when the black fog appeared, countless tangible shadows rushed like lightning, spinning around the two of them, making sounds of collisions of gold and iron.
Dorin snorted and just wanted to pull out the short knife at his waist. He felt a strong force from behind to strangle his neck. He quickly shook his right hand and patted his back, but the force suddenly disappeared, making him feel his own. A palm. Rao is a muscular man with thick skin and thick skin. He was slapped by his own rage, and his chest couldn't stop his blood flow.
In the next instant, the light of the sword suddenly appeared, and it pierced straight from the side of his ear to the temple. There was a toothy grinding sound. The black light dagger almost shattered Duolin's body guard. At the moment of life and death, a pair of black beast claws suddenly flashed across him and took the assassin's arm. Saiker calmly dispersed into a black mist and retreated into the shadows.
After an electric and flint-like assault, the black smoke quickly dissipated and light reappeared on the court. Dolin was still protecting the wolf girl, and he was vigilantly peeking around, dripping with faint sweat on his forehead. The fatal blow that had just succeeded made him secretly startled, breathing heavily.
"Dolin, hurry up and ring the alarm! I'll take cover!" The wolf girl shook her head, which was still a little dizzy, and yelled while holding on to the wall. The leather armor on her body had been damaged in many places, and those strange shadows were obviously giving She caused a lot of harm.
"Let's go together!" Dorin didn't follow her advice, grabbed the wolf girl's beastly arm, and ran towards the guard box with her.
But at the moment he took the first step, countless black snakes suddenly emerged from the shadows of the two, entangled them immobile. Duolin frantically urged the divine power in his body to resist the pervasive erosion of this dark power, but a wolf girl whispered in his ear, shocking his soul.
"Fenya!" Duolin tried his best to push the light armor out, shaking away the dark shadow, he turned his head back suddenly, and saw the wolf girl fall to the ground motionlessly, and the divine power faded back to a female form.
Duolin only felt a little confused as if he was slammed by a sledgehammer. He knelt down and wanted to check the life and death of his unknown partner. A black light shot out from the bottom of the wolf girl. Sekor holding a short dagger, under the cover of the wolf girl's corpse, took the heart of Dolin directly.
In fright, Duolin yelled suddenly, burning his supernatural power at all costs, and his skin was full of cracks. The golden light on his body was so strong that it was almost real. The shadow assassin's tricky blow was successfully blocked by the suddenly strengthened light armor. Saiker took advantage of the situation to turn back and stood not far away.
The burning of divine power won't last long, and Duolin took a few rough breaths, gritted his teeth and rushed towards Saiker like a cannonball. He drew out a short knife and slashed it horizontally. The golden sword light swung a foot away, but was easily jumped and avoided by the Shadow Assassin.
Saiker was wrapped in black light and flew in the air as if weightless. He tapped a short knife on his toe and pierced Duolin's throat with his strength. For a moment, time seemed to stagnate, and the black light on the dagger suddenly shrank, forming an extremely dazzling point on the blade. The golden armor on Duolin's body was pierced by the black dagger like paper, and the blade showed through his neck.
The Shadow Assassin flew back as soon as he succeeded. Duolin's eyes widened in disbelief and he clutched the dagger firmly in his throat, and his burly body crashed down. He struggled to cough up a few mouthfuls of blood, and turned his head to look at the body of the wolf girl not far away with all his strength. "Fenya..." The light in his eyes quickly disappeared, and he twitched violently, and there was no more movement.
Through his divine vision, Velut watched Saikor retrieve the dagger from Dolin’s throat, and glanced at the blood splashing around. The sound transmission reminded him to clean up the scene, and then whispered to the monster bee: "Go four Floor deployment control."
The demon bee nodded silently, and controlled all the bees and insects on the third floor to fly up the stairs. Seeker watching the long strings of thin-waisted bees disappear into the stone ladder, he lifted Duolin's body and wiped the blood on the ground. He grasped the giant cow-like body but seemed effortless, came to the wolf girl again and took her body with her, and went straight into the sentry box.
There was only a square table and a few wooden chairs in the tightly sealed guard pavilion. There were some miscellaneous books on the table. Saiker looked around, walked to the table and put the two bodies on the table. After doing a good job of cover, the assassin bent down and looked carefully on the ground, and soon found his baby stink bug.
"Thank you!" Saiker took out the light-proof bottle and carefully retracted the beetle, then poured dried fruit into the bottle, and sealed the back strap. He clapped his hands and was about to go up, when Virut's warning suddenly came in his mind.
"Wait, something went wrong on the fourth floor." Virut looked cold, and the sudden and strange situation made him palpitations inexplicably, "Honeybee, what's the situation?"
"...No one can see, the bees and insects are still decreasing! Damn..." The demon bee was already sweating profusely at the moment, and she was shaking weakly. The divine backlash caused by the death of the bee and insect made her tense. The extreme nerves almost collapsed. Before long, a chaotic wave of magic power swept across the room, and the demon bee fell to the ground with a scream and fell into a coma.
