Ding Dong ~
The elevator carried the two to the top floor of the hotel.
On the shell-patterned wall, there was a hollowed-out wall lamp every two meters.
On both sides of the corridor paved with gray wool carpet, the guest rooms were arranged symmetrically and regularly.
The top of the corridor also used some exquisite black wood with ribbons as decoration.
Between the guest rooms, there were also arc-shaped glass displays with various dark-style artworks or Renaissance paintings hanging on the wall.
At this moment, the door of the third room on the left slowly opened.
An old resident, holding a candle with one hand and holding the wall with the other hand, slowly walked out … His eyes were full of fatigue and fear, and even his consciousness was in a trance.
When the resident caught a glimpse of Han Dong, his fear escalated into fear, and he immediately returned to the room as if he had seen a ghost.
Click ~ The continuous sound of locking came from the inside.
"That was …"
Even if the resident only appeared in Han Dong's field of vision for less than a second, 90% of the characteristics of the resident had been memorized.
Apart from some of the common characteristics of the dark residents, as well as the 'morbid' performance caused by severe insomnia.
The old man's right pinky showed a spiral shape … In comparison, it was far inferior to the spiral arm Han Dong saw last night.
Whether it was the degree of spiral or the coverage of the spiral, it was completely inferior.
Moreover, the old man didn't exude any danger or make Han Dong feel uneasy … However, Han Dong could roughly see that the old man might die in the near future with the [Anubis Divinity]'s perception of death.
"Is this' spiral 'a disease?"
Han Donghuai was filled with doubts as he borrowed the room card to open his room.
As soon as he opened the door …
Crack ~ The sound of a straight line came from above.
A black shadow suddenly fell. Because the neck was tied with a rope, the feet were just one centimeter off the ground.
The one who appeared in the room in the manner of 'hanging' was the receptionist.
Such a strange way of making an entrance scared Marytis so much that she almost spat out water.
Han Dong, on the other hand, was used to it. After seeing that his spirit invasion was successful, he quickly entered the room.
The first thing Han Dong did was to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the room. After confirming that there was no "eavesdropping on the walls" situation, Han Dong sat on a rocking chair in the corner and began to talk with the receptionist who was hanging in the middle of the room.
Marittis also sat on one of Han Dong's thighs with great interest, wanting to hear the strange stories of London.
"What do you want to know?" An extremely hoarse voice overflowed from the strangled neck.
"Isn't it hard for you to speak like this? Why don't you put down the rope and talk normally? "
"This state is' normal 'for us … The Dark Dwellers of London more or less have some eccentricities that help us concentrate."
"Alright …"
Han Dong quickly accepted this setting and entered the "Q&A session".
"What's your name? What unit do you belong to? Are you related to the agents?"
"Irene Rope. Born at 83 Besen Street in London. She used to work at a newspaper office, but she was forcefully transferred here because she was involved in the investigation of a Maelstrom case.
I don't have a direct relationship with the Intelligence Bureau, but their people often contact me to ask about the situation in the hotel. "
Han Dong touched his chin and continued to ask, "What do you mean by 'special period'?
Why is only the top floor of the hotel open, and the staff here seems to have been transferred away?
What kind of people are the guests on the top floor? "
When it came to this question, the receptionist hesitated for a moment. She seemed to have a defense line in her heart about this kind of question, but it was quickly broken by the "crazy laughter".
"The 'special period' refers to the Maelstrom Period.
Now the City of London is shrouded in the shadow of the Maelstrom, especially the residents of the middle and lower levels are greatly affected, and they are in a constant state of panic.
This Royal Cavendish Hotel had a total of more than ten Maelstrom incidents some time ago, so all the staff here have left. The hotel was ordered by the administrative department to stop operating and temporarily used for 'Maelstrom related personnel'.
Those who are housed on the top floor are the Dark Dwellers who have experienced the Maelstrom Incident but survived by accident … Their condition is very unstable. Most of them will die in a few days, and the rest will go missing. "
The receptionist's answer directly piqued Han Dong's interest.
"Oh? Can you tell me what you know about the Maelstrom Incident? "
"Rumor has it that the origin of the Maelstrom Incident is related to the 'participants' who appeared in the City of London through the Gate of Destiny a few months ago.
During that time, as ordinary residents, our movements were restricted.
I was resting at home during that time, and I didn't see the so-called 'participants'. Later, I learned from the newspaper that they were all dead.
A few days later, a strange serial murder case appeared in the outskirts of the City of London.
Even if a high-level agent was dispatched, it was difficult to find clues.
Part of the body of the deceased would often be twisted into a spiral shape.
The survivors involved would also die in an exaggerated "spiral state" within a few days, or leave a Maelstrom mark in the room and completely disappear.
Only a few high-level agents could occasionally catch a glimpse of the "strange spiral twisted figure," but they couldn't find the murderer.
Due to the frequent occurrence of the Maelstrom Incident in the city, especially in densely populated residential areas.
Now, many residents in the middle and lower levels are eager to leave the City of London. "
Hearing this, part of Han Dong's doubts in his heart were solved.
Just as Han Dong had guessed, the incident he was involved in was related to the previous Participant Incident.
But as part of his doubts were solved, new doubts were born.
Han Dong asked, "Isn't this the city governed by the Mother with a king-level title deed? With the power of the old king combined with the power of the title deed, you should be able to directly locate the murderer, right?
Or send a Mythical Entity to deal with this matter. It shouldn't cause the entire city to panic, right? "
"It's difficult for Hybrid Demons like us to get in touch with the Mother.
Rumor has it that the Mother is carrying out an important ceremony and can't get away.
Grand Duke Vlad has been commissioned to fully investigate the Maelstrom Incident, but there hasn't been much progress. "
Han Dong knew very well that the so-called Grand Duke Vlad must be a Mythical Entity.
And the strength of a Mythical Entity, Han Dong, who had just cultivated in the underground stone temple of Nkei, was very clear that it could definitely reach the level of a Commander. It was strange that there wasn't much progress with such a level of existence investigating.
"Is it really impossible to find, or is it deliberately not looking?"
Just as Han Dong was lost in thought.
Squeak squeak squeak ~
A sharp sound of metal cutting came from outside the door.
There was a void of light and shadow floating between Han Dong's feet, and his whole body had come from the corner to the front door.
Click!
The door suddenly opened.
There was nothing in the passage.
Only a "Maelstrom" mark was left on the guest room door.
