Chapter 3 Night at Liangyi's Mansion
It's late at night.
As autumn gradually begins, a hint of coolness is brought to the wind of the night.
The two ceremonies wore white bathrobes and left the corridor, followed the stairs to a door on the right side of the second floor of the mansion. After pulling it open, the slightly simple arrangement was revealed.
The wide bed was neatly placed with white sheets. On the opposite side of the bed was a dressing table. There were no cosmetics such as lipsticks, such as ordinary girls, on the dressing table. There was only a wooden comb, which was placed randomly on it. There was also a one-person-high wardrobe and a floor-to-ceiling mirror of the same height on the dressing table.
From the wooden windows that have not been closed, you can see a small pond several meters away and a bamboo forest that blooms outside the wall.
In addition, there were no other items in this simple room, making the room, which was not small, look wide and empty, as if reflecting the mood of its owner.
The girl closed the door casually, causing the doors to collide and make a crisp "bang" sound.
The two rituals walked to the window and looked at the bamboo forest that swayed slightly with the breeze floating outside the window and made a "rustling" sound, and the moon emitting a light that was not bright in the sky, without saying a word.
She has always had the habit of going out when night comes and wandering leisurely in the city.
It is not for the pursuit of the bustle and noise of the city. On the contrary, in the neon lights and the sound of whistles at night, what she heard from her heart was always unspeakable silence.
Perhaps strolling in the quiet city in the late night can make her feel a little comfortable, or there are things that she yearns for, she has always retained this habit.
Then, she was attacked by a killer last night.
Her skills are actually not bad. As the orthodox successor of the Liangyi family, she has extremely rare talents and has the ability to complete most of the world independently. Even fighting a killer is not a problem, because she has various killing skills.
However, the attack last night was extremely bad.
From a process perspective, both rituals failed miserably.
From the time she discovered the other party's tracking and turned into the dark alley to attempt to attack in turn but was interrupted by a bomb, to the time she found that the other party was a child in her early teens, she was stunned.
The other party's skills in "assassination" have become perfect, and her grasp of the timing is far beyond her, so she can only fall into the other party's rhythm throughout the whole process. The proud killing skills are almost useless, and rare talents and powerful abilities are useless.
Her last memory was limited to the other party taking out a pistol from somewhere, and with a "touch" sound, she aimed at her forehead, and without hesitation, she fired without any mercy.
After that shot, she fell into a coma.
There is no memory left after that.
By the time she woke up, the attack had already ended, and the other party's figure had disappeared. Not to mention bullet holes, she had not even had a trace of scar. Only the slightest smell of gunpowder on her clothes due to the explosion could prove that she encountered a very dangerous attack.
Later, it was inferred from the roadside clock that she had been in a coma for no more than five minutes.
She didn't have any memory within these five minutes, and she didn't know what happened within those five minutes, so she let her go. This made her feel a strong sense of frustration in her heart, who was unwilling to admit defeat.
She knew that this time's memory would be engraved in her heart and would never forget it in the future.
After learning about her experience, her father, the contemporary head of the Liangyi family, made an order to prohibit her from going out during this period.
At least, she would not be allowed to go out until she was found out.
Thanks to this, she could only ask for leave from school, not to mention going out at night, and even during the whole day, she never took a step forward in the gate of Liangyi Mansion.
"Squeak--"
While the two rituals were pondering, a sound that seemed to be opened by the aging wooden door came from behind her, making her feel alert in an instant. The gaze, which was originally immersed in the memory, became as sharp as a knife in the blink of an eye, and shot towards the direction behind her.
As she looked at her wooden wardrobe door slowly opened from the inside out, and while making a slim creaking sound, a slender figure also walked out of it.
Brown hair, amber pupils, and handsome facial features form a look without any temperature. Although the slender and thin body is short, it has a sense of existence that cannot be ignored.
The moment his eyes that did not contain any emotion met the two rituals, the whole room became dead silent, and a cold atmosphere filled the entire space.
"...You actually dare to chase me here?"
In the indescribable silence, the two rituals showed obvious hostility in the sharpness of the sword, and there was still a little surprise in the hostility.
"How did you sneak into my room?"
Because of various training, the two rituals were quite sensitive to the "abnormality" around them. However, before he took the initiative to walk out of the closet, she did not notice any strangeness at all, making her keenness useless - this situation was exactly the same as last night.
Even though she didn't know what happened within those five minutes, she did not lose the memory of the killer who attacked her last night, and she would not even be able to remember the other party's appearance.
This young man was the killer who attacked him with bombs and pistols last night.
In an empty space.
Liuxia silently looked at the girl opposite who was nearly half a head taller than him, and a faint look of contemplation appeared in her eyes without any warmth.
Sure enough, it was like two different people living in one body... She really knew nothing about what happened last night.
——Even though he has this ability, it is because of the other party’s gift, but she doesn’t remember it at all.
"I have no intention of talking nonsense to you."
Although he was a little interested in the state of [Two Rituals], Liuxia did not intend to create extravagance when doing the business. In his mind, completing tasks is always the first priority.
In view of this, Liuxia ignored the surprise and hostility of the two rituals and spoke as if no one was around, "Roll up the sleeves of your arms, I want to check your arms."
Tsk.
The two rituals tutted their mouths in their hearts, and they felt obviously unhappy with the little devil in front of them who spoke in command.
"Interesting, where is your confidence?"
Liangyi's eyes became cold, "If you want me to follow your instructions, then show your confidence that is enough to threaten me!"
"Of course, if the threat is not supported by the corresponding confidence, it will be just a pale and powerless voice."
Instead of taking the attitude of the two rituals as a provocation, he took it for granted. Liuxia nodded and then showed her confidence.
