That was Lillian's house.
After a moment of hesitation, she walked into the residential building. Although she didn't know how to get information, she needed to get to know her.
Perhaps she could learn something from Lillian's conversation.
This residential building was truly eerie. There were no streetlights in the corridors at all.
With every step Xia Xinghe took, there were clear footsteps. Even the sound of her breathing could be heard clearly. The pitch-black corridor sharpened one's other senses.
The overly quiet atmosphere also made one feel inexplicably uneasy.
Xia Xinghe cautiously walked up the stairs, one step at a time.
Before she reached the second floor, she suddenly heard a thud! This abrupt sound was exceptionally frightening at this moment.
Xia Xinghe stopped in her tracks and quickly determined that the sound came from upstairs.
"Thud …" Another thud.
This time, it came from Lillian's house.
For some reason, Xia Xinghe had a bad feeling about this. Her expression turned solemn. She quickened her pace and arrived at Lillian's door in a few moments.
After getting ready, Xia Xinghe knocked on the door gently.
However, there was no immediate response from inside.
Xia Xinghe knocked a few more times. Finally, a man's voice, which seemed to be deliberately lowered, came from inside. "Who is it?"
Xia Xinghe was slightly stunned. She didn't expect a man to respond to her.
The hotel owner didn't tell her whether Lillian lived alone, so she couldn't determine the relationship between the person inside and Lillian.
"Hello, I'm looking for Lillian," Xia Xinghe replied calmly.
"We're going to rest. If there's anything, come back tomorrow!" The man inside seemed to be very impatient. After saying that, the lights in the room went out.
With such a small amount of light gone, the surroundings became incomparably pitch-black.
Xia Xinghe took out her phone and casually pressed a few buttons. She stared at the door and deliberately said, "Lillian isn't here right now. You guys come over immediately. Remember to bring your things."
Just as Xia Xinghe finished speaking, the door suddenly opened. A blurry, tall male figure pounced at her like a beast in the darkness.
Accompanying it was a gust of wind that he brought out.
There was the scent of blood in the wind …
Xia Xinghe was already prepared. The moment the door opened, she raised her leg and kicked it fiercely.
"En!" The man who rushed towards her was kicked in the stomach, causing him to stagger back in pain.
But in the next second, he pounced forward again. This time, he was faster and more ferocious. Xia Xinghe counterattacked again, but he dodged nimbly. Xia Xinghe's neck was instantly grabbed!
However, she did not panic. She also reacted reflexively and raised her hand to fight back. However, she underestimated the man's skills.
In fact, ordinary men, even strong men, were no match for her.
However, the man in front of him was clearly not an ordinary person. He had a ruthless aura, which was the aura of an assassin.
This person was not simple!
Xia Xinghe had a premonition that something had happened to Lillian. What she needed to do now was to escape.
However, after fighting back several times, she was suppressed by the man. Finally, Xia Xinghe's neck was locked by the man from behind. The man raised his other hand, and the sharp blade reflected a cold light in the dim light.
Just as the blade was about to pierce Xia Xinghe's body, a small knife suddenly flew over and pierced the back of the man's hand.
"Ah!"
