Chapter 298: Strike first to gain the upper hand

The burly man outside saw the female receptionist coming out and immediately stepped forward and asked, "What did the boss say?"

The female receptionist glanced at him and said, "First, find out what that person's plan and thoughts are, and then kill him, so that he won't cause us any trouble."

"Leave this to me." The burly man volunteered.

The female receptionist thought for a moment and said, "Whether that man has the ability or not, since he dared to say that, it should be assumed that he is indeed capable. So you can't do it alone. I will go with you to Room 4. You go and get ready first, and I will take him over, ask questions first, and then do it."

"That's good. It's safer this way." The burly man nodded.

"Also, let Old Dai check at the door. Maybe that man has an accomplice."

"Don't worry, this is not the first time we have done this." The burly man smiled.

"Also, now that this matter has been resolved, you should go find Gray Shadow in person and ask him if there is any trouble. The boss said that Cinderella did not go to the ball at this time!"

Rukuang nodded and then turned and walked out.

The receptionist took a deep breath and shook her head.

She always felt that something was wrong with what happened today.

The matter of the gray shadow, and also the look in that man's eyes just now, he felt like he had seen that man's eyes somewhere before.

She has a good memory, and if it's someone she's met recently, it's unlikely that she'll forget.

The most important feature to identify a person, besides appearance, is the eyes.

In her opinion, everyone's eyes are different and everyone's eyes have their own characteristics.

But suddenly, she couldn't remember it at all.

But this cannot delay the plan.

She put on her signature smile and walked outside.

Private room 4.

Luo Xi looked around the not-so-big room.

There was nothing else except a round table and a few chairs.

"Please take a seat. I think it will be more private to talk here. After all, what we want to discuss is of great importance." The female receptionist's reason was impeccable: "On weekdays, this is a place for VIP customers to play cards."

What this means is that today, you are our VIP customer.

"Not bad, but a little small." Luo Xi looked around.

"If there are only two of us, the place is not small enough." The receptionist smiled and said, "Then you can talk about the plan to dismantle the Witch Union. But before that, I don't know how to address you."

As soon as the other party said it, she would give a signal and the burly man outside the door would rush in and start fighting.

Luo Xi shook his head: "Where is your boss?"

"The boss is not here now, but he has entrusted this matter to me." Before the female receptionist could finish her words, Luo Xi suddenly stepped forward and stabbed her in the neck with a knife, while holding her in his arms and controlling her body and arms.

"It's okay. The place where I stab you won't kill you immediately. Just relax and take a deep breath. It's normal to feel dizzy." Hearing the voice beside her ear, the receptionist's eyes were filled with fear. She really couldn't believe that this guy would just do it.

Is he crazy?
He didn't know that this was the Darkfurnace Tavern, and doing this was simply a declaration of war.

Anger and fear came over her all at once, and she wanted to fight back, but she was completely unable to break free.

In terms of strength, the opponent can suppress her, perhaps by using some kind of card that increases power, or perhaps the opponent's professional card is one that enhances physical fitness.

It has to be, because this guy didn't die despite such severe burns, it must be because of his extraordinary physique.

Soon, she felt she had no strength left.

"You have beautiful eyes. Yes, look at me. What's the signal for you to communicate with that big guy? Shouting, slamming the table, smashing the cup, or high-five. Got it, high-five. How many times? 1, 2, 3. Got it, 3."

Upon hearing this, the receptionist was shocked as if she had seen a ghost.

I wondered if this guy could read minds?

wrong.

He was observing my pupil reaction.

If one knows the truth or lies in advance, he or she will have different reactions.

The other party can capture and observe this tiny reaction.

The receptionist had heard someone say that someone could do this, but she didn't quite believe it. But today she believed it.

Wait a minute, so he had already realized that this was a trap, so he chose to strike first?
Then she was placed on a chair. Due to blood loss, the receptionist felt weak all over and her consciousness gradually became blurred.

Soon she saw the other person hiding at the door, and then they high-fived each other three times.

She wanted to call out the alarm, but no sound came out.

The burly man broke into the house and was then ambushed by the other party.

The receptionist was very clear that her ability was not combat, but language.

Similar to a witch's spell, it can use some "language" power to influence the enemy, but the knife that the opponent stabbed into her neck has pierced her vocal cords. Is this a coincidence?
However, the burly man is a real battle maniac. His strength, speed and recovery ability have already reached the elite C-level standard. Ordinary memory collectors are no match for him at all.

Now we can only hope that the Rough Man will win.

But even so, she would die.

Although she could be resurrected, she would lose a lot of memories, and she could only be reborn in the cemetery at Node 0. Then everything she had accumulated over such a long time would be burned to ashes. By then, she would forget a lot of things, and the Darkforge Tavern would most likely not accept her again. Thinking of this, fear was like a cold bug, crawling all over her body in an instant.

She no longer had the courage to do it again.

But she has no say in this matter.

"Fortunately, that bastard will be buried with me." This is the only hope of the female receptionist now. She holds on with her last breath and wants to watch the other party being killed by the burly man.

The best is massacre!

The burly man seemed to have activated some kind of card, but was ambushed at the beginning. Although he dealt a few fierce blows to the opponent, his body soon began to shake. Finally, he rolled his eyes, vomited green foam, and fell to the ground like a mountain.

"Oh no, the other party is too vicious. He must have used some kind of poison card. But that doesn't make sense. The rugged guy has a strong resistance to poison. He won't die even if he eats rat poison raw." The female receptionist's vision began to blur.

She was thankful that the other party was also hit several times by the burly man, and she knew that the burly man's fists could easily break internal organs and ribs.

The receptionist thought that the ugly guy was finished too.

This time the loss was heavy, I hope the rugged man can survive.
However, the next moment, the person who had fallen to the ground in the receptionist's sight stood up again.

She opened her eyes wide again as if she had a last moment of clarity, confusion, fear and shock filling her mind.

"He's not dead? That's impossible. The burly guy won't show mercy." The female receptionist soon saw a scene that made her terrified and angry. The other party took a knife and stabbed the burly guy on the ground who was trying to stand up in the neck several times.

Very professional, without any hesitation or delay.

The burly man was completely motionless.

Then the man stood up.

Bang, something fell down.

It's a scar and broken skin.

The man touched the missing scar on his neck, then reached down his neck and peeled off all the scars that looked like cracked human skin. What was unbelievable was that underneath the scar was not a bloody face, but a normal-looking facial feature, just like a cicada shedding its skin and a snake detaching itself.

"It's him." The female receptionist remembered that this man had come over at around seven o'clock in the evening. She had a very good impression of him at that time. She even planned to spend the night with this man if he was willing. However, she didn't expect that there was no romance at all when they met again.

The next moment, the other person came over, pulled the chair next to him and sat down.

"We don't have any deep hatred. Let's keep a distance so that we can meet again in the future. I won't take away your and his card rings. Now tell me, where is your boss?"

The female receptionist thought about it carefully and realized that although the other party was particularly cruel, he did abide by the rules.

She didn't even look at the rings on herself and the burly man.

She could no longer speak. With her last bit of strength she pointed at the ground and shook her head. Then her head tilted and she died.

Luo Xi reached out and closed the other person's eyelids.

Originally, if the other party had not intended to attack, Luo Xi would not have wanted to create trouble, but for him, it was his usual style to nip the danger in the bud.

Obviously, questioning and then killing was an order from the tavern owner.

The female receptionist and the rude man are not to blame, but they are the only ones who have to bear the consequences.

this is the truth.

Luo Xi then searched the body of the Memory Collector who died in the Fairy Tale Town. Even if he kept the card ring, his body would not disappear. The only difference was that the card ring could not be taken away once the Memory Collector died. However, except for the card props, other things would be kept.

The waitress didn't have anything nice on her, just a little doll that looked like she had made it herself.

Hidden in the pocket, there is a small bag with needle and thread.

This may be one of the few hobbies she has here.

It was a little bear, Luo Xi liked it very much and took it away.

The rough man had a knife and some wine on him.

The half-foot long dagger looked more like a delicate dagger. As for the wine in the flat metal bottle, it was very strong. Luo Xi took a sip and it had the aroma of malt, and he felt warm all over.

Let’s go too.

[Gourmet], the characteristic of this card is that it is not picky about food. Wine is brewed from grains, so of course it is also a kind of gourmet.

He repaired his wounds by eating. Although the process was slow and it took nearly three hours for the burned skin on his body to separate in the form of scars and then grow new skin, it must be said that even this slow recovery ability was an absolutely rare card ability during the days of confinement.

Luo Xi changed her clothes.

The original clothes were already stained with blood and could not be worn anymore. Fortunately, he had taken off the Shadow Mooncloth shirt before this, otherwise, it would have been a huge loss to lose this set of clothes.

Pushing the door, walking out, then slowly closing the door, Luo Xi walked towards the inner corridor of the bar.

The waitress pointed her finger down there before she died, which meant that the boss might be down there, or that the tavern owner could be contacted down there.

In addition, her shaking head has several meanings.

The boss is not here.

It's dangerous down there, don't go.

Luo Xi's main characteristic is that he doesn't listen to advice. Besides, since he has already killed the people in the tavern, the grudge cannot be resolved. If he goes out, he will definitely be stopped by the gatekeeper and other employees of the tavern. If they mobilize other guests at the scene to attack him, he will definitely have to report to the cemetery.

Therefore, seeing what is inside the tavern and continuing to talk to their owner is the best option.
