Chapter 204 Missing Person Notice (Thirteen)
Andre knew he was running out of time.
He turned his gaze to Aning. Seeing that the other person's expression had turned pale, Andre's heart suddenly surged with strong regret, but it was too late: "I... I'm sorry..."
Before he could finish his words, he noticed a figure rushing towards the woman in the black dress.
The other person's dazzling golden hair flashed before his eyes, and he recognized who it was -
It's Fei.
Andre's originally sad mood stagnated, and only one thought remained in his mind -
Is Fei crazy?
You have to know that although the woman in front of him still looks like a human, she doesn't look as scary as the ghosts he encountered before. She has a ruddy complexion and even looks more healthy than ordinary people. However, from the fact that she can manipulate the severed hand at will, it can be seen that she is not an ordinary human, but very likely a ghost.
But Fei is a novice after all, and it is very likely that he will make a wrong judgment.
Perhaps because of their past affection, Andre tried to ask Fei to stop so as not to anger the woman. But before he could finish his words, Fei had already appeared in front of the woman.
It was the first time that Andre knew that Fei could run so fast. The woman had no time to react and was forced to close the distance with Fei. A cold light flashed, followed by the sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh.
Fei actually had a dagger in his hand!
When did the other party take the knife?
Andre thought again, he hadn't paid much attention to Fei before, so it was normal that he didn't know about it.
But Andre soon realized an important problem, Fei was able to hurt the woman in the black dress. And Fei stabbed very deep, leaving only the handle of the knife outside.
The woman's body trembled, and then Andre heard a "thump" sound. He turned his head and saw that the broken arm that had been tightly grasping Aning's neck had loosened, and Aning fell to the ground.
The other person had her eyes closed, and the faint rise and fall of her chest showed that she was alive, but she had fainted from lack of oxygen.
Andrei stepped forward to help Aning up, but he was horrified .
Could it be that he was wrong, and the other party was not a ghost, but just an ordinary person who could control ghosts?
In that case, the other party could be killed...
But before Andre could feel happy, he saw the woman's expression -
The other person raised the corner of his lips in a mocking smile, then he grabbed Fei's hand and pulled out the dagger.
Although there was a knife wound on the woman's chest, no sticky blood flowed out, and there was no bloodstain on the dagger, as if this body was just an empty shell.
Andre realized that the woman was not too late to dodge, but just too lazy to dodge. She might have predicted Fei's attack and knew it would be ineffective, so she didn't bother to dodge.
He was sweating all over his back, and his eyes fell on the broken arm beside him. Sure enough, the broken arm that had been motionless became active again, and the next target seemed to be him.
Andre understood that even the breaking of the arm to let go of An Ning just now was intentional by the woman. First give them hope, and then let them be completely disappointed.
However, this time he was more prepared than before, so he let go of Aning first and instead controlled the broken arm.
Fei seemed to realize his mistake and subconsciously took a few steps back, trying to distance himself from the woman in front of him.
The woman also realized this, and the mocking smile on her face widened. When Fei retreated, her arm suddenly stretched out like a spring, and her fingers painted with black nail polish grabbed Fei's face directly.
At the critical moment, Fei fell to the side, and the woman's hand missed. The wind created by her fingers left deep scratches on the hard marble floor. It is not difficult to imagine what would have happened if Fei had not dodged just now.
But the next second, the woman's hand attacked again.
Fei wanted to dodge like before, but he found that when the woman's hand was about to miss like before, she suddenly flashed. As the other party moved, her arm also turned a corner and went behind her.
Fei's attention was originally on the woman in front of him. After noticing this, he subconsciously wanted to turn his head to dodge, but he was still a step too late -
As soon as she turned her head, she was met with the woman's hard nails, stabbing at her eyes mercilessly.
Andre caught this scene out of the corner of his eye, and his heart skipped a beat because of nervousness.
However, the bloody scene he expected did not happen. The opponent's sharp nails finally stopped in front of Fei.
Fei took advantage of this time to quickly retreat and completely distance himself from the woman in front of him.
Andre:?
When Andre was wondering, he suddenly smelled a burning smell, and the white smoke proved that it was not his illusion. Andre looked in the direction of the white smoke and found that the hem of the woman's black skirt was on fire.
The woman also noticed this, and her expression, which had been calm just now, finally changed: "What's going on?!"
This is Andre's problem as well.
However, the one and the non-human quickly found the reason, and their eyes fell on a figure in front of the wall.
The other person had long hair tied up high and was wearing the clothes of a hotel employee. He was holding a picture frame in one hand and using a lighter to light a cigarette with the other hand.
Andre: "When did you go there... No, when did you take the lighter?"
Doesn’t Qiao Yuan not smoke?
The woman was not so curious. She looked at Qiao Yuan with a distorted expression: "You..."
She seemed to realize something, her eyes moved between Fei and Qiao Yuan, and soon realized something: "You did it on purpose."
"One person deliberately attracted my attention, and the other person went to get the painting..."
Qiao Yuan kindly concluded: "This is called making a feint to the east and attacking in the west."
After hearing what the woman said, Andre finally had an epiphany and realized the whole story.
The woman in front of him seemed to be related to the painting. Thinking of what Qiao Yuan had said before about the emptiness of the picture, he realized that what the other party really meant was probably that the woman in front of him was actually a person in the painting, so she was neither a human nor a ghost.
Qiao Yuan and Fei saw all this and joined forces to set up the current game.
But when did Fei and Qiao Yuan communicate with each other?
Although his attention was on the kidnapped Aning at that time, in that environment, if Fei and Qiao Yuan communicated, even if he didn't notice it, they would more or less be noticed by the woman in front of him...
In any case, the situation has now been reversed.
In fact, Andre was half right.
Fei and Qiao Yuan did cooperate, but they did not communicate much before. After the woman in the black dress suddenly attacked Aning, Fei noticed that Qiao Yuan's eyes were still on the painting on the wall. Thinking of what Qiao Yuan said before, he quickly realized the identity of the woman in the black dress.
If he wanted to get rid of the other party, he had to get rid of the other party's painting. However, the woman in the black dress had been standing in front of the painting, obviously protecting her body intentionally or unintentionally, so Qiao Yuan was unable to take action.
Qiao Yuan was also thinking quickly in her mind about what to do. Unexpectedly, Fei, who was originally close to her, suddenly approached her and said quickly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'll lead her away."
It goes without saying who this "she" is.
The two quickly reached a consensus, and Qiao Yuan even secretly gave Fei the dagger he had hidden, preparing to use it in the show later.
Most of the woman's attention was on Andre and Aning, and Qiao Yuan and Fei's conversation was brief, so when she turned around, the two had already finished the topic.
The flames on the hem of the black-dressed woman's skirt seemed to be the embodiment of her anger, burning more and more fiercely.
However, the woman was not blinded by anger. She quickly calmed down, put away her distorted expression, and said aloud while enduring the pain of being burned by the fire: "I won't attack you again. Can you let go of the painting?"
Her tone was several degrees lower than before.
Qiao Yuan played with the lighter, but the flame never left the painting: "Answer me a few questions first, then I'll let you go."
The real body was in Qiao Yuan's hands, so the woman could only nod as if bearing the humiliation: "Ask."
Qiao Yuan: "Why did you attack us?"
Woman: "My subconscious just told me to do this."
Qiao Yuan looked at the woman's expression. She didn't seem to be lying. It seemed that it was because Fei had discovered an important clue before.
Qiao Yuan then asked: "Do you know Xu Lin?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, as if she was wondering whether to answer or not. After Qiao Yuan threatened to burn the picture frame directly from the middle, the woman said in a panic: "I don't know her name, but from your description, I think I have seen that human."
She lived in the painting, and unknowingly became a spirit, able to leave the frame. Normally, in order to maintain her physical body, she would directly absorb the spiritual energy of the guests in this room. Those guests only thought that they were exhausted from the journey and were listless, and did not know that it was her doing. By the time these guests found that something was wrong with their bodies and had to be hospitalized, it was a long time after they left the hotel, so they naturally did not think of this.
It's just that the two guests staying this time were not in the room most of the time.
A good cook cannot cook without rice, so the woman can only find other sources of food. She can leave this room, but the maximum distance is the corridor on this floor. Because she can't enter other people's rooms, the woman's initial target is the people in the corridor.
It was at this time that the woman noticed Xu Lin.
Woman: "She's followed by a ghost."
"What the hell?!" As soon as the woman said this, Andre screamed first.
The woman obviously didn't like Andre very much. She frowned in disdain after hearing his voice. But after hearing Qiao Yuan ask about the details, her voice quickly became humble again: "It's a ghost that looks like a child."
Afraid that Qiao Yuan didn't understand, the woman gestured attentively: "This tall, about three or four years old, with a sunken head and a swollen face. He has only one eye, and the other eye's socket is pitch black. He is wearing bloody clothes and stumbling behind the human."
"After noticing that I was looking at it, it made a silent gesture to me, as if it didn't want me to make any sound."
