At the staircase on the second floor, Fei Jin had witnessed a creepy and cruel sneak attack scene from beginning to end. Moreover, the two main characters in this scene had only parted ways with her less than an hour ago!
She watched as the middle-aged man named Huan Huo pretended to leave and then return. He approached Hei Lang's back like a ghost and locked his throat. Fei Jin felt that she was experiencing a nightmare herself.
Half a second later, Huan Huo raised his head. His gaze was calm, but it was clearly filled with the coldest elements.
Under his gaze, Fei Jin's throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand. She could not make a sound. Only fear and instinct drove her to turn around and flee in the direction from which she had come.
But the moment she turned around, a face filled her entire field of vision. It was so close that she could only see a pair of charming, narrow eyes that were as calm and cold as Huan Huo's. Then, a hand strangled her neck, and a familiar voice entered her ears.
"It's okay if you don't want to take this mission. Someone else will take over your work. You can take some time off. It's Christmas. I'll grant you a long vacation, okay? "
A long vacation? No, no!
Fei Jin finally saw the face in front of her clearly. Hatred and even more intense fear filled her chest.
She wanted to struggle, but the other party exerted his strength before she could. An irresistible force came, causing her body to fall backward and hit the fence behind her. Then, she flipped and hung in the air, her head spinning.
Fei Jin wanted to scream out of instinct, but the dry and warm sensation on her throat was clearly magical. It firmly sealed the last bit of strength in her vocal cords. She could only open her eyes wide and let the decorative background of the main hall of the villa and the familiar yet strange face on the second floor twist and weave together.
Finally, the bizarre scenery and the corresponding fear broke the string of her will. Before she could touch the ground, the darkness had already drowned her.
Downstairs, Huan Huo caught Fei Jin, who had fallen down, and placed her on the sofa near the fireplace.
Then, he lifted the plush carpet that covered the area from the main hall door to the spiral staircase. Under the beautiful fabric, there was a flat layer of tiles. However, the structure of this layer of tiles looked very complicated. Every tile had a different shape, but they were joined together seamlessly, forming a complex and strange graphic structure.
The internal structure of this area was indescribable. It was a long and narrow rhombus shape.
Phantom Fire placed Black Wolf, who was still unconscious, at a sharp corner of the diamond-shaped area. He occupied another spot, about six meters away from Black Wolf.
At this time, on the second floor, the sound of heels hitting the ground could be heard again. Another figure appeared on the railing. However, Huan Huo didn't even look in that direction.
After everything was arranged properly, he took off his clothes and sat down with his legs crossed. His hands formed a seal and he began to chant an incantation in a low voice.
As the low and hoarse voice flowed out, the space in the main hall of the villa seemed to ripple slightly. The light was distorted, forming a looming three-dimensional structure in the void. At the same time, it looked like a translucent spider web that was shot out of thin air and connected the Phantom Fire and the black wolf.
The incantation came to an end. The diamond-shaped area on the ground and the invisible threads of light in the air had already built a complex and complete structure together.
"Ha!"
Huan Huo's eyes were wide open. He spat out the powerful incantation, as if he had spat out all the air in his body. His entire body was shrunk, making him look strange and demonic. However, he didn't maintain this image for long. Scorching flames shot out from his mouth where he had just spat out the incantation, and from the gaps of his eyes, ears, and nose.
The flames surrounded Huan Huo's head. Then, they moved downward, past his shoulders, chest, abdomen, and legs. Wherever they passed, the skin and flesh were like the highest level of fuel, emitting pure light and heat. In the depths of the flames, there was a silver luster.
The flames moved from the top to the bottom, and from the bottom to the top. When they returned to the top of his head, they suddenly turned into a mottled ray of light that faintly turned into a rainbow. They were placed between Huan Huo's head and Black Wolf's head.
With a muffled bang, the flames dissipated. The place where Huan Huo had been sitting was no longer a human. What was left was a metal object that looked like a human. Apart from that, there were no other traces.
After a few seconds, the unconscious Black Wolf on the ground suddenly shuddered. His entire body began to twitch slightly. This state lasted for more than a minute. Then, Black Wolf opened his eyes.
He moved his fingers a little, twisted his neck, and then sat up. His body swayed back and forth, as if he was still dizzy, but his eyes were clear. After a short pause, he slowly got up. Ignoring the weakness in his legs, he slowly walked to the "remains" of Huan Huo. He dismantled the metal frame with familiarity, turned it into a set of parts, and put them into his tool bag.
After doing all this, Black Wolf, or Huan Huo, cleaned up the scene and put the carpet back in place. Then, he pushed the door open, started the car, and disappeared into the night.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't care about Fei Jin, who was by the fireplace. It was as if this was the entire mission.
As the car drove away, the seaside holiday villa was once again submerged in silence. But this atmosphere didn't last long. The crystal light shone down on the unconscious Fei Jin's face, reflecting the luster of youth.
"That's great. You're as young as a flower … What do you think of the target I chose for you?"
There were two figures at the top of the stairs on the second floor.
One of them had just pushed Fei Jin down the stairs. She leaned against the fence, her camel-colored long windbreaker open, revealing a snow-white shirt and dark pants. Her short hair was thin, making her look bright and crisp. But her voluptuous body curves, as well as the 12-centimeter stilettos on her feet, still highlighted a strong feminine quality.
Beside her, Yin Le wore a very ordinary professional suit. Although her looks, figure, and youthfulness were superior, she still couldn't compare to this person's carefree and easygoing nature. The Bloodflame Order was currently facing a grim situation, including this person's attitude and behavior, made it impossible for her to be casual.
So, Yin Le glared at him sternly. "Multifaceted, what do you mean?!"
Multifaceted smiled in response. "As you requested, I'm fighting for a chance to get close to Mr. Luo …"
"Don't increase your physical body unless necessary. I thought this kind of simple logic didn't need to be emphasized. "
"Then why did you go through me? Through the manager of the Starry Sky Club, a person with extremely complicated social connections? "
When Multifaceted, or rather, Sun Jiayi, appeared in this villa, she was no longer the manager of the leisure club, but a well-known broker who roamed the various forces in the inner world. Aside from attentive service, she also had her own way of doing things when dealing with clients.
"You must know that the current Xia City branch is still in a loose on the outside but tight on the inside. Any ability user who can interact with a target for a long period of time is the result of going through a sieve several times. So, I believe that the true 'don't increase your physical body' is to borrow the help of relevant personnel who have previously made contact with you.
