Zhang Lisheng understood how to use the witchcraft incantation as soon as it appeared. He opened his eyes all of a sudden, joy flashed through his pupils. He spat a mouthful of black blood at Mountoad and shouted 'transform'.
Thick smoke came out of Mountoad's body that was soaked in black blood. It leaped all of a sudden, sticking close to the living room's ceiling as if it could control the demonic wind. It dashed towards the floor-to-ceiling window that was broken by Mountain Cat earlier.
At the moment, Mountain Cat outside the window had yet to fall to the ground.
He adjusted his body in mid-air. Ten bloody fingernails extended from both of his hands and tore the Golden Dragon Hotel's outer wall. He was trying his best to reduce the fatal impact of falling from the building.
All of a sudden, a suction came from the top of Mountain Cat's head, reducing his falling momentum.
However, such a strange help that came out of nowhere did not make Mountain Cat happy at all. He lifted his head abruptly with a twisted expression and saw a giant toad covered in scabby skin hanging its head out mid-air. It opened its mouth wide and sucked at him hard like a giant vacuum cleaner, trying to suck him into its mouth. It was Zhang Lisheng who was unwilling to give up. He was willing to risk exposing his wizard gu just to kill him.
The suction around him was getting stronger and stronger, it even formed a whirlwind to hold his falling body. Mountain Cat knew that he was in a hopeless situation. He would definitely die if he continued to hold back.
He shouted in rage, "I'm chasing a dog into a dead end, I'm using electric nets to catch a fish.
Brat, this grudge between us won't end until one of us dies. "He chewed half of his tongue and spat it at Mountoad with his mouth full of blood.
The flesh transformed into a beast claw with mottled fur in mid-air. It rose straight up and grabbed at Mountoad.
Zhang Lisheng, who was chanting witchcraft incantation, was standing next to his wizard gu at the moment. He was bracing himself against the piercingly cold wind in the sky, trying to kill the enemy with one blow. However, he saw a beast claw that was the size of a wall stretching out in the air all of a sudden, attacking him from below.
Seeing that it was too late for him to dodge, Zhang Lisheng could only change his attack to defense. He controlled Mountoad to spit a mouthful of air at the beast claw with all his might.
The air turned into a spiral of black smoke when it was spat out. It collided with the beast claw that was transformed from Mountain Cat's flesh.
"Peng", a low sound of impact rang out, and then the sound level exceeded the limit of what the human ear could detect.
However, although no sound could be heard, everyone within a few hundred meters of the epicenter of the collision felt a sudden pain in their heads. Many of those who had eaten their fill even vomited.
Mountoad shrunk to the size of a football again after releasing all the air it had absorbed. It squatted on the carpet like a statue. Meanwhile, Zhang Lisheng who had exhausted his wizard power could no longer drive his wizard worm anymore.
He continued to extend his head carefully and watched Mountain Cat turn into an insignificant little black dot that landed on the ground. However, it did not scatter into red blood splatters. Instead, it moved away slowly and mumbled to himself with a grim expression, "Spitting blood to transform into a scale claw … Could it be the witchcraft's Gate of Sacrifice's Sharp Claw Method?
Brother Bobcat, it looks like you and I are not strangers.
You're just a wizard, but you're actually being kept and ordered around by others. I'll end you next time so that your ancestors won't be humiliated … "
Although Zhang Lisheng said that, he knew that if Mountain Cat did not treat him like a cat toying with a mouse, he would have died from the sneak attack on the street.
Although the witchcraft's Gate of Death was powerful, it had yet to transform to a Rank-6 Wizard. Its weakness was very obvious, which was that it was still a mortal.
Zhang Lisheng could not help but feel a little upset as he thought to this point. At that moment, the hotel staff who arrived late were shouting anxiously and knocking on the door that was getting louder and louder, "Madam Lili, Madam Lili, what happened to you? Is everything alright?"
The noise outside the door made Zhang Lisheng panic. He thought about it and realized that he could not explain everything reasonably no matter what. All he could do was to take a few deep breaths of the cold air outside the window. He carried his wizard worm and walked to the sofa in the living room in big steps. He fell onto the carpet along with the wind and pretended to have fainted.
"Madam Lili, Madam Lili, we'll have to take necessary measures if you don't say anything."
"Stop talking nonsense, open the door now."
"Yes, yes, Minister Dong. I'll open the door now."
Someone opened the door of B4506 and a few staff from the Golden Dragon Hotel entered the room.
Although there was no light in the room, they could feel the mess in the suite with the help of the bright moonlight and the chilly wind that was unique to high altitude.
"The … The floor-to-ceiling window is completely broken. The wall … Why is the wall so dirty? It stinks, what's that smell …"
"Shut up, who cares about the room? The most important thing is the people.
Turn on the lights, turn on the lights now and see how the guests are doing, "The young minister who was wearing a suit shouted angrily.
A waiter turned on the ceiling lights in a clumsy manner. After seeing the two guests who had fainted, the young minister who was hoping for a fluke finally let out a long sigh.
"Go and see how the guests are doing. Also, call 120 immediately," He said slowly with a slightly hoarse and deep voice.
A waiter hesitated for a moment seeing his boss showing a rare low emotion. He plucked up his courage and comforted him politely, "Minister, actually, our customer service department is not responsible for this …"
"How is it not responsible?
It's noon now. Our waiter from the customer service department was knocked out in the hotel. His uniform was stolen and he was delivering food to the guests in B4506. Then, something happened to the guests in B4506 at night.
Tell me, why aren't we responsible? "The young minister could not help but shout as he was in a trance.
The waiter's flattery had backfired, and he babbled, "Minister, t-t-t-didn't we just, just found out that Zhao Luogang was knocked out?
We informed the security department right after we found out.
Oh yes, there's the security department too. The security department should be responsible for the guests' safety.
Moreover, we knew that it wasn't an ordinary burglary since the room looked like this. It was most likely the guests who caused the trouble. Speaking of which, our hotel suffered a loss. "
The young minister slapped his face hard after hearing what the waiter said. He said softly to cheer himself up, "You're so smart. You came up with so many reasons to push the responsibility away for me.
"All of those reasons make sense. However, I only know that as the minister of the customer service department, it's my responsibility if anything happens to the guests after they stay in the Golden Dragon Hotel.
"To be honest, if I'm as good at finding reasons as you are, my job might be folding sheets with you now."
The waiter blushed and walked away with his head down.
The young minister then raised his voice and ordered in an orderly manner, "Don't simply move the guests' bodies before the ambulance arrives to prevent further injury. Get a few duvets to cover the guests. Make sure to maintain their body temperature.
"Close the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows and try your best to block the wind.
"Also, leave the guests' luggage and personal items where they are. Nobody is allowed to touch them."
He then took out his walkie-talkie. He planned to communicate with his superior and the supervisors of the same level from other departments to discuss countermeasures.
Naturally, the first person he called was the security supervisor who shared the responsibility with him. He was Xu Dongliang who was a demobilized soldier.
"Minister Xu, Minister Xu, I'm Dong Qifeng from the customer service department. Please answer me if you hear me."
At the open-air parking lot outside of the Golden Dragon Hotel, the tall and burly Xu Dongliang was leading more than ten hotel security guards. He stared at a Cayenne that had a human-shaped hole on the car's roof with his mouth agape. Hearing the walkie-talkie ringing, he brought it to his ear out of habit.
"Minister Xu, did you hear me? I'm Dong Qifeng from the customer service department."
"I heard you, Minister Dong. What's the matter?"
"Minister Xu, didn't I just report to you that a staff from our customer service department, Zhao Luo, who was on duty at noon, was knocked out by someone and someone else replaced him to deliver food to room B4506?
Now, there's a bad development. The mother and son in room B4506 were attacked and they're unconscious now.
The room is a mess, even the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows are broken … "
"Wait a minute, Minister Dong, is the room B4506 that you're talking about in the building that faces the open-air parking lot?" Xu Dongliang's heart skipped a beat. He lifted his head out of curiosity and asked while looking at the sparkling guest room.
"That's right, our hotel's open-air parking lot is right outside the window of room B4506," Dong Qifeng thought about it and said, "Minister Xu, I think it's better for you to come and take a look. After all, this matter is related to your security department."
"B4506, isn't … isn't that the 45th floor?" Xu Dongliang asked blankly in the chilly late autumn wind as if he did not hear Dong Qifeng's suggestion.
"Of course it's the 45th floor. Minister Xu, it's better for you to come over, we'll talk face to face."
"Alright, alright, I have something to talk to you too." Xu Dongliang hung up the call as he was speaking. He was stunned for a while and rubbed his nose. He looked at his underlings and said loudly, "Get a blanket to cover this broken car.
Hurry, what are you blanking out for? Don't you have any eyesight at all?
"I'll talk to Minister Dong from the customer service department. You guys stay here and guard the car. Before I come back, nobody is allowed to get close to this car.
"If the owner comes, tell him that the car is waiting for its valuation. The hotel plans to compensate him in full. If he wants to make a fuss, we'll settle it through legal procedures."
"Yes, minister." The security guards saluted in a nondescript manner. Some of them went to look for a canvas to cover the car while some of them spread out to block the customers who were wandering around late at night and wanted to watch the commotion.
Only a tanned and skinny middle-aged man was left. He said carefully with a long face, "Minister, I've really been guarding the parking lot's door. I've been patrolling when I'm free. Who would've thought that someone would fall from the sky and make a big hole in the car?
"His face was covered in blood and his eyes were really fierce. When he stared at me, I … I shuddered all over. I really, really didn't dare …"
"Alright, Old Li, you've been guarding the car in the hotel. You've worked hard to earn more than two thousand a month, you can't just throw your life away.
"I know it's not your fault. Guard the door properly, don't think or talk nonsense and everything will be fine. You got it," Xu Dongliang ordered while frowning while walking.
The tanned and skinny middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. He nodded like a chick pecking on grains and replied, "Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, thank you minister.
"I-I understand, I understand, I understand. Do your job properly and won't talk nonsense, won't talk nonsense …"
Xu Dongliang nodded impatiently. He quickened his pace and dashed into the hotel lobby.
Like a ball of burning charcoal in his heart, he took the staff's dedicated elevator to the 45th floor in annoyance. He dashed into room B4506 with a gloomy face.
