Chapter 330 Traps
"I am Duke Negan, I believe everyone present is familiar with it."
This opening sentence was heard by many guests who didn't know why, and they couldn't help but feel a little confused, thinking:
"I accepted your invitation, and I am attending a dance held by you. How can I not know who you are!"
Mr. Duke's uncharacteristic behavior made many people feel puzzled and even uneasy, but no one questioned him, because Duke Negan's face was extremely gloomy, and his hawk-like eyes scanned the men and women who were looking at each other under the stage.
Suddenly, his expression suddenly became flat, and he spoke:
"Just now, I had a word with two very fine young ladies."
"Since His Majesty the King, countless nobles and soldiers have exchanged their blood and lives for the current stability and strength of the Loen Kingdom. It is precisely because of this that we can enjoy such a grand and harmonious ball today."
Just when many guests thought they were about to receive some patriotic education, Duke Negan changed his calm attitude and said sharply:
"However, there are always some people with ulterior motives who want to destroy the hard-won happy life today!"
Everyone was silent when they heard the words, and clenched the wine glasses in their hands slightly, not knowing what would happen, so they could only watch Mr. Duke's generous and angry statement intently:
"I have devoted decades of hard work and hard work to this king. Now that I am older, my personality has gradually converged and become gentle, but some people regard this kind of gentleness as weakness."
"A few days ago, it was also a dance party, and I was assassinated."
Most of the guests in the audience knew about this matter, but of course a few people didn't know about it, so the voices became a bit noisy.
But soon, Duke Negan's speech quickly suppressed these noises:
"The assassin was Qilingus, one of the 'Pirate Generals'. Obviously he failed and was finally killed by His Excellency the 'Singer of God'."
"Unfortunately, he died too quickly, and I failed to find out the instigator behind it."
"However," Duke Negan's tone suddenly became heavier, and he turned around and said, "I know that the matter is not over yet, and the real enemy hidden in the shadows is still waiting for an opportunity."
He looked around, his sharp eyes fell on the faces of many guests, and also flashed past Louise and Audrey, and said:
"Recently, I got accurate information that the second batch of people came to Backlund with the same purpose as Qilingus."
"So, I'm throwing a dance party tonight."
What does it mean, to lure a snake out of its hole? Wouldn't this dance be very dangerous... All the people present are not fools. They thought of this point quickly or slowly, looked at each other at a loss, and finally focused on Negan on the high platform. Duke.
Mr. Duke did not intend to explain. Instead, he fixed his eyes on an unremarkable male guest in the crowd, and then shouted sharply:
"Do it!"
Before the words were finished, the man who was stared at by Duke Negan suddenly burst into flames, and the wine glass in his hand was crushed into countless glass fragments, and flew towards the other guests who were close at hand.
However, these shards of glass miraculously penetrated the bodies of the people around them without causing any harm, as if they were just air.
…………
Just when the man was violently attacking, Miss Audrey almost exclaimed, and was about to loudly remind the people around to avoid him, but suddenly felt Louise grabbing her hand with great force.
This was an obvious warning. Relying on the tacit understanding between the two, Miss Justice silently retracted the words she was about to blurt out, and stood there motionless, as if she hadn't seen anything.
After all, Louise's sequence is higher. Just now, she was keenly aware of a hidden spiritual wave spreading rapidly, covering the entire hall of the ball.
It should be the ability of the "sealed item", which can isolate the extraordinary battlefield from the world of ordinary people, but does not include extraordinary people... Almost instantly, Louise judged the effect of the spiritual fluctuation, so she secretly stopped " Miss Justice's exposure.
Louise was actually a little lucky at this time. When she listened to Duke Negan's impassioned speech, she almost thought that the latter had already seen through her identity. Fortunately, Mr. Duke's real target was someone else.
In this regard, Louise expressed that she was very happy to watch. She did not have the habit of being a bird of prey, and simply pretended to be an ordinary person affected by the ability of the "sealed item", quietly watching the battle taking place in the corner of the hall.
Inadvertently, she glanced slightly, and found Dean Russell whom she had just met. This "old urchin" old man was keeping an exaggerated posture, but he suddenly gave Louise a naughty wink. blinked.
He is an Extraordinary... Louise confirmed this instantly, but she didn't give any response, pretending that she didn't see anything, and her thoughts spread rapidly.
According to Audrey, this Dean Russell believes in the "God of Steam and Machinery", and now he has confessed his Extraordinary identity. Could it be that he is a member of the "Church of Steam"?
Before Duke Negan launched an attack, was his intersection with Dean Russell just a coincidence?
After thinking about it, Louise recalled a few details. As a senior Extraordinary of Sequence Six, she almost collided with Dean Russell just now... She originally thought that the reason was that she was a little absent-minded at that time, and didn't notice the situation behind her. But now it seems that the coincidence just now seems to be intentional by Dean Russell.
What does he want to do?
…………
Just as Louise's thoughts were flying, the battle in the dance hall was coming to an end.
In fact, this is an unfair battle.
There is only one enemy, but there are "groups" of Beyonders trying to capture him, because this is a trap carefully prepared by Duke Negan, who has absolute power.
He even throws a dance party just for it, offering the perfect moment to help these enemies infiltrate him.
At the same time, that strange male Extraordinary was naturally aware of the current dangerous situation.
After realizing that he was isolated from the surrounding world by an inexplicable force, the most effective chance to create chaos to escape has been lost, leaving him with only one option, which is to break out of here abruptly.
In the next second, the discovered strange Extraordinary exploded, and a brilliant flame spread out in all directions, and the figure in the center of the flame had long since disappeared.
"Invisibility is prohibited here." A majestic voice sounded, and faint spiritual fluctuations spread throughout the hall.
At the edge of the hall, in an open space close to the gate, the fleeing figure of the male Extraordinary just now appeared. Seeing that he was discovered, he immediately picked up the fastest speed and ran towards the exit.
"Offenders shall be punished." The majestic voice sounded again unhurriedly.
