XVIII. Night Walkers
Although the Blade Snow Villa is located on the side of a mountain with a legend of death, the children of the famous families in the rivers and lakes and the families in the government often come to visit. ◢ With ◢ Dream ◢ Xiao ◢ lā They are either to make friends with the White Prison Knife, with the help of the vast relationships of the White Prison Knife when they were in office, or to ask the White Prison Knife for difficult cases. Of course, there are also some children of the family who have heard of Bai Ruwan's character and appearance and come to propose marriage.
Over time, Bai Ruwan has seen a lot of people, but because the people who came to Blade Snow Mountain Villa in the past were some so-called famous and decent sons and sons of official families, she always felt that these people were either too old-fashioned and mechanical like puppeteers, or too hypocritical and impersonal, or too tricky and slippery, and unreliable at first glance.
And this just reflects the difference of Sword Thirty.
Of course, the reason why Bai Ruwan thinks that Jian Thirty is different is not necessarily that she has fallen in love with him, maybe it is because it contains some special feelings.
But what kind of emotion it is, it's not clear.
It's like a person who is used to seeing a white swan will get excited when he suddenly sees a toad.
As for whether the feelings caused by Sword Thirty in Bai Ruwan's heart are white swan or toad, I can't say clearly, and I can't think clearly.
But Bai Ruwan didn't want to think about it, because it was really late at this time.
Bai Ruwan let out a long yawn, then got up and blew out the candle and walked towards the bed.
Maybe it was because it was too late, or because she was too tired, Bai Ruwan fell asleep quickly.
But she had been sleeping very unsteadily, as if she was asleep, and as if she was still awake, so she was in a daze and didn't know how long she had been asleep, and suddenly she was awakened by a very strange sound, or rather by a strange scene.
Because of the half-asleep state just now, when she heard this strange sound and saw this strange scene, she didn't know whether she really heard it and really saw it, or if she was still in a dream, still in a half-fantasy state, anyway, it was a very strange feeling.
Bai Ruwan straightened up, as if she wanted to sit up, but she still didn't sit up after all.
Although her consciousness was awake, her body seemed to be restrained by some kind of mental power, and she couldn't move, so she could only lie there stiffly, looking at the ceiling, and there was no sound in her ears.
Maybe it's because of the sudden wind, and the flower branches by the window "rustle".
In this gentle "thud" sound, the white eyelids suddenly became heavy again, and then, slowly, slowly......
In fact, not only Bai Ruwan, but even Jian Thirty, who was snoring like thunder, heard strange sounds.
The voice was obviously far away, but it seemed to be very close, even in the small building next door.
Jian Thirty suddenly struck a clever wit, and wanted to stand up and go out to see the situation.
However, the sound slowly disappeared again.
Perhaps it was because the snoring of the sword stopped that the thing that made the strange sound knew that the people in the room were alert.
Ken Thirty closed his eyelids, and then let out a thunderous snoring.
When the rhythm of the snoring was steady and the breathing was steady, the voice really started to sound again.
At the beginning, Jian Thirty thought it was just the sound of the wind blowing the grass and trees, but after listening carefully, he found that it was definitely not the sound of the wind blowing the grass and trees, but the sound of human breathing, and then, the sound of breathing turned into a slight footstep, like the sound of a night walker deliberately moving forward on tiptoe in order not to make a movement.
Jian Thirty touched the scar on his neck, and said secretly: "It's so late, who else in Blade Snow Mountain Villa is walking around without sleeping." ”
As he was thinking about it, he found that the slight footsteps were actually walking slowly towards the guest room where he was staying.
The footsteps grew nearer and softer, and when they reached the door, they suddenly stopped, and made the sound of a dagger gently flicking the latch.
When the latch made a crisp "click", I saw a white figure flash in, and slowly walked towards the bed where he was staying.
When he reached the bedside, he lifted the mosquito net, and a glittering dagger was quietly raised and stabbed at Sword Thirty's chest.
Jian Thirty secretly screamed no, then suddenly got up, and kicked at the dagger that had been stabbed down.
The man in white saw that Jian Thirty suddenly got up, and knew that the assassination had failed, so he quickly put away the dagger, suddenly pushed open the window and jumped out, and then, a few of them got up and jumped out of the wall.
And when Sword Thirty just flew up and was about to kick away the dagger that had been stabbed down, he found that the man in white suddenly put away the dagger and fled, so he hurriedly put on his boots, and then, hooked the iron sword on the table with his foot, and chased in the direction where the man in white disappeared.
Although the Blade Snow Villa is full of pavilions and flowers, and it is difficult to move, but the person's body is very fast, not at all, it is not a land trip at all, but a step on the glazed tiles of the flower branches and pavilions, using the ultimate light skills, just a few ups and downs, and then to the outside of the Blade Snow Villa, into the vast snow area under the mountain.
If it weren't for the fact that Jian Thirty was chasing after him very closely, perhaps, this man would have escaped by taking advantage of this vast snow-colored cover.
Now, Sword Thirty suddenly understood why this man was wearing white clothes when he performed the assassination.
Generally speaking, in order to make the target not obvious, night walkers generally wear black night walkers, so that when they move, they can use the cover of the night, and the movement will be much easier.
And the reason why this person wore a white night coat was because he wanted to take advantage of the vast snow outside the mountain villa to get out easily.
However, judging from the body skills that this person revealed in the Blade Snow Mountain Villa just now, his martial arts should be very high, and his light skills should be first-class, if he really fights himself, he is not 100% sure that he will be able to win.
Looking at the man's slowly sneaking back, Jian Thirty suddenly had a very strange feeling.
He felt that the reason why he was able to catch up with this person was not because his light skills were better than the other party, but because the other party was deliberately slowing down to catch up.
Because every time Sword Thirty is about to lose his target, that person will appear at the right time and in the right place.
It was as if the man was deliberately drawing his sword thirty times to a predetermined place.
As for why the man in front of him did this, where he was going to lead him, and what conspiracies and traps awaited him in front of him, Jian Thirty didn't think much about it at all.
He had been following the man's trail closely.
The snow is white, the mountain road is rugged, and the road is downhill, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the valley and break your bones.
However, the pace of the night walkers did not slow down at all.
Jian Thirty had no choice but to use the light skill of stepping on the snow without a trace to fly on the surface of the snow.
When they reached an open place on the mountainside about a mile away from the Blade Snow Mountain Villa, the night pedestrians in front of them suddenly stopped, stood beside a pine tree not far away, and stood with their backs to Sword Thirty facing the wind.
Sword Thirty stood about ten feet away from him, watching the night walker wary.
