Chapter 3: The Night at Eryi's Mansion

It was late at night.

After gradually entering autumn, the forest wind at night brings a hint of coolness.

Wearing white bathrobes, the two men left the corridor and walked up the stairs to a door on the right hand side of the second floor of the mansion. After pulling it open, the slightly plain layout was revealed.

White sheets are neatly placed on the large bed, and on the opposite side of the bed is a dressing table. There are no lipsticks and other cosmetics that ordinary girls would place on the dressing table. There is only a wooden comb, which is casually placed on it. Beside the dressing table, there is a one-person-high wardrobe and a full-height floor-to-ceiling mirror.

From the wooden window that has not been closed, you can see the small pond a few meters away and the bamboo forest blooming outside the wall.

In addition, there are no other items in this simple room, which makes the room, which is not small in the first place, appear more spacious and empty, as if reflecting the state of mind of its owner.

The girl closed the door casually, causing the door to collide with a crisp 'bang' sound.

Two ceremonies walked to the window, looked at the bamboo grove that swayed slightly with the breeze and made the sound of 'rusting' outside the window, and the moon in the sky that was emitting a dim light, without saying a word.

She has always had the habit of going out at night and wandering around the city.

It's not for the pursuit of the hustle and bustle of the city, on the contrary, amidst the neon lights at night and the sound of sirens coming and going, what she hears from the bottom of her heart is the unspeakable silence.

Maybe wandering around the city in the dead of night can make her feel a little comfortable, or maybe there is something in it that she yearns for, she has always kept this habit.

Then, last night she was attacked by a killer.

Her skills are actually not bad. As the orthodox successor of the Liangyi family, she has an extremely rare talent. She has the ability to complete most of the things in the world independently. Even fighting killers is not a problem, because she herself Possesses various killing techniques.

However, last night's attack was terrible.

In terms of process, the two ceremonies were a complete failure.

From the moment she found out that the other party was following her and turned to a dark alley to attempt a sneak attack but was interrupted by a bomb, she was stunned when she found out that the other party's real body was a child in his early ten years.

The opponent's skills in the matter of "assassination" have been perfected, and her grasp of timing is far superior to hers, so she can only fall into the rhythm of the opponent throughout the whole process, and the killing skills she is proud of are almost useless , rare talents and powerful abilities are useless.

Her last memory is only that the other party took out a pistol from nowhere, and with a 'touch' sound, it was aimed at her forehead, and she fired without hesitation.

After that shot, she completely fell into a coma.

There is no memory left after that.

By the time he woke up, the attack had long since ended, the figure of the other party had disappeared, not to mention bullet holes on his body, not even the slightest scar, only the slight smell of gunpowder smoke from the explosion on his clothes could prove that She encountered a very dangerous attack.

It was later deduced from the clock on the side of the road that she had been unconscious for no more than five minutes.

She didn't have any memories of these five minutes, and she didn't know what happened in those five minutes, so she let the other party let her go. This made her, who refused to admit defeat, feel a strong sense of frustration in her heart.

She knew that the memory of this time was bound to be engraved deep in her heart, and she would never forget it in the future.

After learning what happened to her, her father, the current head of the Liangyi family, issued an order to prohibit her from going out during this period.

At least, she couldn't be allowed to go out until the killer who assassinated her was found out.

Thanks to this, let alone going out at night, even school she can only ask for leave,

Even during the whole day, she didn't even step out of the gate of Liangyi's mansion.

"Squeak—"

While the two ceremonies were meditating, a sound that sounded like an old wooden door being opened came from behind her, making her instantly alert. projected in the direction.

Following her gaze, the door of her wooden wardrobe was slowly opened from the inside to the outside, and at the same time as it made a tooth-piercing creaking sound, a slender figure walked out of it .

Broken brown hair, amber pupils, and handsome facial features formed an expression without the slightest warmth at all. Although the slender and thin figure was short, it had a sense of presence that could not be ignored.

The moment his eyes without the slightest emotion met the two rituals, the entire room became dead silent, and a cold atmosphere permeated the entire space.

"...you actually dare to chase here?"

In the indescribable silence, there was obvious hostility in the sharpness of the two ceremonies like a knife, and there was a bit of surprise in the hostility.

"How did you sneak into my room?"

Because of all kinds of training, the two ceremonies are quite sensitive to the "abnormalities" around them. However, before he took the initiative to walk out of the closet, she did not notice the slightest abnormality. Sensitivity has become useless - this situation is exactly the same as last night.

Even if she didn't know what happened in those five minutes, she didn't lose the memory of the killer who attacked and killed her last night, so she couldn't even remember the other person's appearance.

This boy was obviously the killer who attacked him with bombs and pistols last night.

in empty space.

Liu Xia silently looked at the girl who was nearly half a head taller than him, and a faint look of thought appeared in her eyes without the slightest warmth.

Sure enough, it was as if there were two different people living in one body... She really didn't know anything about what happened after last night.

——Obviously he has this ability because of the gift from the other party, but she doesn't remember it at all.

"I have no intention of talking nonsense with you."

Although he was a little interested in the status of the [Two Ceremonies], Liu Xia had no intention of causing trouble when he was doing business. In his heart, completing the task was always the first priority.

In view of this, Liu Xia ignored the surprise and hostility of the two ceremonies, and said as if there was no one else present, "Roll up the sleeves of your arms, I want to check your arms."

Tsk.

The two men clicked their lips fiercely from the bottom of their hearts, feeling obviously displeased with the kid in front of him who spoke in an orderly tone.

"Interesting, where is your confidence?"

The eyes of the two rituals became indifferent, "If you want me to follow your instructions, then show the courage to threaten me!"

"Of course, if the threat is not supported by the corresponding confidence, it is just a pale and powerless hey."

Did not regard the attitude of the two ceremonies as a provocation, but took it for granted, Liu Xia nodded, and then showed her confidence.

"Do you think I can sneak into your room without anyone noticing, and plant bombs all over this mansion and blow it up to the sky without anyone noticing?"
