Chapter 237 Raid

Dang rang rang rang rang.

The rapid ringing sounded one after another, like a knock on their hearts. Through the gap in the curtains, they could already see thick smoke starting to rise outside.

What a coincidence!

Shuihuo Wuqing heard shouts and footsteps in the corridor. The two of them didn't pay much attention. Lin Qi grabbed a few documents at hand, and the two of them rushed out of the library.

There was already smoke in the corridor, it was not too thick, and in the smoke, more than ten servants were rushing out from everywhere.

They were well-trained and methodical. When they met each other, they immediately formed a team and fled along the corridor without fighting or grabbing. When they met Miss Valente and Lynch, the servants directly protected them in the middle and coerced them. They ran outside together.

"Don't mess around. The exit is over here. Ahem, follow my voice. Ahem, cough. Go and call the young lady upstairs."

The air was so choking that it was hard to open one's eyes, and it was impossible to tell the direction in the complex mansion. However, an old butler with white hair and beard stood in the hall leading to the door, standing in the thick smoke. Upright, coughing and loudly leading the way.

"Holy Spirit, bless Suer, the eldest lady is out, hurry up, the exit is behind me."

Lynch was a little dazed by the thick smoke for a moment. He was surrounded by a bunch of maids and ran towards the exit. The old butler behind him was like a knight in a classic novel, adhering to his duties in the thick smoke.

Bang, Lynch ran two steps quickly, kicked open the door, and finally rushed into the sunshine, breathing in the fresh air, feeling that he was finally alive.

Turning back and looking at each other, Miss Valente saw a few streaks of black ash on this girl's fair face that had been whitened by the heavy smoke, making people want to help her wipe it with their own hands...

Pa, he slapped himself in his mind. Lin Qi took a few deep breaths and then had time to look around.

Although it was not a billowing smoke, there was still smoke everywhere in the mansion, which made people feel uncomfortable even in the courtyard. Fortunately, no open flames were found from outside, indicating that the fire was not big.

A group of girls had already gathered around Lin Qi and arrived at the fountain. It was considered completely safe, and then they began to make a noise. After experiencing a fire for the first time, Lynch's brain recovered.

Um? What about the valet and the old butler?

Damn it, stay behind to put out the fire, right? This is really the habit of medieval nobles. The women and children evacuate first, while the men stay and fight.

Lin Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, quickly took off his coat, soaked his handkerchief, covered his nose, and planned to rush back to the fire scene.

"Mr. Lynch." Miss Valente grabbed his arm, "Stop, you are a guest, and there is no reason for the Valente family to let guests risk putting out the fire."

"What kind of guest? Let go. I'm helping put out the fire at my friend's house. I want you to mind your own business."

"You..." The folding fan finally hit Lin Qi on the head, and his hand loosened, "Go ahead, I'll go with you, I'm going to put out the fire in my own house, and you don't need to worry about it."

However, as soon as the two took two steps, there was a noise behind them. Looking back, the group of maids with dark faces each picked up containers such as gardening watering cans by the pool, and followed them with claws and teeth.

"Let's go too, we want to protect the eldest lady from harm."

Are you ordinary people holding watering cans to water the flowers? And if you protect her, just protect her. Look at the fire and say, why are you looking at me?

Forget it, there is no open flame yet, and the temperature change is not obvious, so the risk should not be great, so you can do whatever you want.

However, once they returned to the mansion, the two realized something was wrong.

The smoke was too thick, but I still couldn't feel the temperature rising. And although the smoke was choking, it didn't have the burnt smell I had at the fire scene in the Hall of Order.

It's not like a fire at all, but like smoke.

"Miss."

The butler Louis was leading a few valets and running around the mansion with buckets. They also realized that something was wrong and could not find the origin of the fire.

"Get out first, don't burn yourself to death. Since you can't find the fire, open all the windows first."

"Listen to Lynch, Mr. Louis, you follow me, no, you all follow me."

Seeing that the old housekeeper was about to lead the people into the thick smoke and open the windows one by one, Miss Valente did not hesitate for a second. She picked up the old housekeeper and led everyone out of the mansion, taking along the maids who had caused trouble. blasted out.

Turning back towards a window is a shot.

Damn, this girl is so cruel.

This was the safest and fastest method. The other servants immediately followed suit. Stones and debris were flying around the mansion for a while, and there was a constant sound of glass shattering. Among them, Lynch was the one who smashed the most.

I just want to help, I'm not just trying to get the pleasure of smashing glass against a rich man.

As soon as the window was opened, the problem became more obvious. The thick smoke quickly came out of the window. Not only did it pour out from every window, but it kept puffing out, just like pouring smoke into the hole when I was a child. Like smoked rabbit, I can't stop.

Wait, smoked rabbit?

Lin Qi suddenly realized that something was wrong. This was obviously done deliberately to drive the people out. What did he want to do?

What else can you do?

"Diana, which window is the library?"

No longer caring about being polite, Lynch grabbed Miss Valente's arm and shouted loudly. Miss Valente's expression also changed, and she raised her head and pointed upward.

The most likely way to sway the tiger away from the mountain was the information. Lin Qi didn't bother to think about why the other party was able to seize the right opportunity, or how the other party would act. He immediately jumped up high and used a little strength on the outer wall of the building. It had appeared outside the library window.

As soon as his body reached the window, he could already see the scene inside through the glass.

There was no smoke here, and a man in formal clothes with his mouth and nose covered was at the door, opening the door and preparing to leave. As if sensing Lynch's sight, the other party raised his hat, nodded to Lynch, and then closed the door with his backhand.

Bang.

Lynch in mid-air swung his stick to smash the window, then turned into a multi-section whip and rolled inside, using the force to rush in... Shit.

At the moment of breaking into the window, Lynch keenly felt that the temperature of the room was rising rapidly, and a scorching breath was blowing in his face as the window was broken.

The next moment, a dazzling light burst out from the information on the table, and a ball of high-temperature and scorching flames appeared out of thin air, swallowing Lynch who broke into the window head-on.

"Boom."

The sudden explosion shocked everyone below. These people had already looked up at Lynch's actions, so in their field of vision, with a loud bang, a ball of flames spurted out of the window and directly swallowed Lynch completely.

"Lynch!"

Miss Valente's eyes turned red, but she was a step too slow. It was too late to do anything. She could only watch Lynch, who completely disappeared in the flames, scream. However, just as the scream sounded, a ball of fire fell from the window and hit her side. The frightened servants dodged.

Whoosh, a large ball of fire was burning on the ground. Miss Valente, who was about to burst with anger, suddenly had an idea and pounced on the falling fire. At the same time, the light of the flame suddenly dimmed, and then turned into a human figure with white smoke. He screamed and staggered back a few steps, and was just supported by Miss Valente.

"It hurts so much, it hurts so much."

Lynch screamed in pain. At the last moment, he took on the enthusiasm of the strange object, the Fiery Lady. Lynch narrowly avoided the shock wave of the explosion and the damage of the fire, but the pain of the burning soul was still inevitable. He screamed silently and fell like a meteorite.

But as soon as he woke up, he squeezed Miss Valente's hand to indicate that he was fine, then flew into the air again and rushed back to the library, which was still steaming.

Damn, the information!

He was just one step behind, and he couldn't let the other party get away with it. This was his last hope.
