Chapter 258 Explosion
"It hurts……"
Annan was lying on a temporary medical bed on the street, receiving emergency treatment from doctors and nurses.
"A time bomb was actually set off... The golden witch also keeps pace with the times. She understands art."
Annan did not die. Even in the explosion that blew up both floors of the hotel, he still survived tenaciously.
And he was not seriously injured. Although he looked very embarrassed now, with his whole body covered in black, his clothes turned into stripes of avant-garde style, and there were many scratches and blood stains, they were only minor injuries.
This requires the help of magic professor Dulan.
At the moment of the explosion in the hotel, Duran used all his strength to cover Annan, and instantly deployed a magic shield that was enough to protect the two of them, withstanding the initial lethality of the explosion.
Of course, this comes at a price. Dulan, who wanted to protect the students, was seriously injured.
The magic shield withstood the terrifying heat waves and flames and reduced the power of the shock wave, but there was not much that could be done about secondary damage of a physical nature.
Duran's calf was broken by the falling rubble on the spot. Fortunately, he had strong willpower and did not pass out. Otherwise, he would not be able to maintain the magic shield.
As for the subsequent fragments of various things scattered by the explosion, he gritted his teeth and persisted.
The explosion in the hotel was very powerful, but it didn't last long, and it was all blown up within a few seconds.
If the explosion continued for a few more seconds, Duran might really die.
The injuries sustained by the magic professor were indeed serious, but they were not fatal. With the help of medical personnel who arrived at the scene within five minutes of the explosion, Dulan, who was still conscious at the time, was quickly treated. As long as he did not appear next Any accidents are definitely no problem.
"I'm afraid that a brand new clone of the golden witch will pop up soon..."
Annan was actually a little worried that the golden witch had a second prepared body.
Neither he nor the professor knew what restrictions the golden witch had on controlling clones. Even if another golden witch really appeared now, it would not be surprising at all.
"If the golden witch really wants to kill the professor, then she will definitely show up even at this time. I can only hope that she calms down and wakes up, or that she is really not here anymore."
A five-star hotel in the city center suddenly exploded at night, which naturally alarmed local officials.
Before medical personnel arrived, a large number of police patrols arrived first, followed by emergency personnel from the police headquarters.
The fire truck also arrived a little late, but before the firefighters arrived, some brave police rescued Annan and Dulan from the fire scene.
I have to say that those brave police officers were really a bit reckless. The floor where Annan and Dulan were located was close to the top floor of the hotel. When a serious accident occurred, using the elevator was not a wise move, but the police officers still stepped in step by step. Go up the stairwell and conduct emergency evacuation and rescue throughout the floor.
After the explosion stopped, Annan was trying to pull the professor away from the spreading flames. Even if the police did not come to the rescue, he should be able to get to a safe area before more danger came.
Having said that, it would be great to get extra help.
"Are the police in the capital more brave and capable? Or is it because the police who came to the rescue just now are all young people?"
Annan knew very well what the local police in Matatek were like, so it would be surprising when some guys appeared who were doing the right thing and should have done it in the first place.
"Forget it, no matter what, let's think about what to do next."
Even if Annan didn't deliberately observe his surroundings, he still knew how chaotic the situation was.
The guests who were evacuated from the hotel, the medical staff who were scrambling, the police who were making inquiries and investigations, the passers-by who were watching the theater outside, and the reporters who were poking around.
The hotel where the explosion occurred not far away has completed all evacuations, and firefighters are extinguishing the flames on the upper floors of the hotel.
The sirens of medical vehicles, police cars and fire engines were heard endlessly, mixed with the discussion of the crowd and turned into noisy background music at this time.
The five-star hotel where Annan and the professor stayed was not full of guests because it was not the peak tourist season, but there were still quite a number of people there.
Now these emergency evacuated residents are all in panic. Faced with such a sudden accident, most people don't know what to do.
Some people were slightly injured during the emergency escape. This is nothing. The problem lies with those residents who were affected by the big explosion just now.
The main targets of medical personnel's emergency treatment are those innocent people who are unable to withstand a sudden big explosion.
Annan just saw a few blackened corpses. These people must be hopeless and should have been put into body bags.
As for those residents who are still conscious but have been severely burned, the outcome will not be good. It is not known how many people can be saved. Even if they are saved, they will probably have lifelong sequelae.
The backhand left by the golden witch will not specifically control the power to avoid harming innocent people.
"Really, if we know that an accident happened in the hotel where the professor is staying, the guys from the Magic Academy in the capital, as the host, will definitely come here soon, and it will only become more chaotic."
Annan couldn't do anything now. As an injured person, he couldn't move around freely, he was too conspicuous.
"Has the guy with the bayonet woke up? There was an accident in the hotel. Those white knights who were acting secretly because of their reaction to discovering the Lord of the Rings will come to understand the preliminary situation anyway. If they find the bayonet, what will happen? Or discover traces of dark magic left in the hotel, that would be great fun."
After the explosion, Annan wanted to deal with the suspicious traces of magic in the hotel.
In addition, the relics used by the professor must be recovered. If during the subsequent investigation it is discovered that there are relics, or they are in the room where they live, it will be indefensible and they will definitely be suspected.
Fortunately, in the end he found that he didn't need to do anything.
The consumable relic prepared by Professor Duran for the golden witch, according to him, looks like an ordinary mosquito coil.
This mosquito coil must have been completely burned in the explosion just now, and there is no need to deal with it in any special way. As for the remaining traces, it is difficult to find even through in-depth investigation. After all, the relic is just a mosquito coil.
Unless someone specifically checks whether there are signs that the relic has been used, there is basically no need to worry. Moreover, it has been too long, and even if there is a special inspection, it will not be found.
As for the other relics and magic props used to deal with the gold witch, the professor himself had all of them with him, and they did not appear to be missing after the explosion. Just maintain the status quo.
Of course, considering that the seriously injured professor would need treatment soon, Annan still cautiously took away all the things that could not be seen from the professor's body.
"I have too many things on me. Even if someone finds just a firearm, it would be difficult to explain. I have to find a chance to deal with it..."
Annan didn't think for long before he found a way to deal with the troublesome things on his body.
With a smile, he gestured with his eyes to someone who had blended in with the crowd watching the show.
"Okay, now you don't have to worry about your belongings being discovered."
