"There was the sound of glass being shattered and Nancy falling to the ground."

Hua Yi glanced at the window of the room. The glass above was very thick, and the light could detect people.

"It seems that the other party used firearms to carry out long-distance sniping?"

"Yes, this is an oversight on our part. Although the walls of the manor itself are very strong and can withstand the impact of most Honkai Beasts, the strength of the glass is limited. The other party's bullet penetrated the window and hit Nancy's shoulder. If she hadn't changed her movements at that time, the bullet would have hit Nancy's head."

Before, Ai Yin also said that most of the scene was preserved.

As a result, not only were footprints deliberately created to provide wrong guidance, but even the window glass that directly reflected the attack method has been repaired.

This is normal. After the error has been discovered, Under such circumstances, timely compensation is the right choice.

Even if the technological level of the timeline in this world bubble was not high enough before the first collapse, firearms had already appeared.

As a qualified killer, Between sneaking into this Imperial Research Institute affiliated with the Church of Destiny to assassinate at close range, and using firearms to snipe from a distance, it should be easy to make the right choice.

Hua Yi looked into the distance through the window.

The desolate place In the dim night of the city, the outlines of several large buildings can be seen.

The viewing angle of this study is not very wide. Considering the angle between the desk and the window, if you want to snipe from the outside, the only suitable position is in it. On top of a building.

Hua Yi pointed to the building

"Did you find anything there?"

"A body was found, that of a gray snake."

"Gray snake?"

Fu Hua frowned when he heard this name, which was more like a code name than a person's name.

Things indeed developed in a bad direction. The person who attacked Nancy was not an ordinary character.

Irene took the initiative to explain.

"I've heard of him, a notorious intelligence dealer, but Gray Snake seems to have quite a reputation on the dark side."

"At that time, after we confirmed the identity of Gray Snake, we brought his body to the mansion and planned to conduct tests to determine the cause of his death. It was at this time that the most bizarre thing happened.——"

Ai Yin hesitated for a moment, and a strange color appeared on her face.

"Gray Snake's body is missing"

"Missing?"

"We had already determined that Gray Snake was dead, so after transporting his body to the manor, we did not invest any manpower in guarding the body. As a result, his body disappeared."

"It sounds like the situation is more complicated than expected. Maybe Gray Snake has a way to fake death to deceive detection, or maybe there are accomplices of Gray Snake in this manor."

"At that time, Nancy's accident had just happened, and Jackal and the others had not yet received the news, and were naturally not in the deserted city. Except for a few of us, only the Valkyrie troops of the Church of Destiny were on guard in the manor. To be more precise, the Valkyrie troops exist to monitor us. With the organizational discipline of the Church of Destiny, they cannot be accomplices of the Gray Snake."

"So, the only possibility left is that Gray Snake fakes his death and is lurking around this manor?……"

Fu Hua pondered for a moment and looked at Hua Yi

"What do you think?"

"Now that we know the identity of the killer and the method of attack, all we have to do is protect our employer and then find the killer."

Hua Yi's words made Ai Yin ponder for a moment.

"Regarding the protection of employers... In order to ensure Nancy's safety, the location where she received treatment is temporarily confidential. Please rest assured that Miss Nancy is receiving the highest level of protection, and Valkyrie troops are also guarding her ward. All we have to do now is——"

Bang.

Before Ai Yin could finish her words, a sudden change occurred.

All the light disappeared as if it was suddenly cut off, and the surroundings fell into darkness. The moonlight in the deserted city that has been covered with clouds all year round is extremely dim. Even if the study has windows, it is difficult to provide much lighting.

As for the hall on the first floor of the manor, it should be even more invisible there.

"Don’t worry, there is a backup power supply on the property that will kick in immediately if there is a problem with the power supply."

However, until Ai Yin finished speaking, the lights did not turn back on.

"Fu Hua, please protect Ai Yin's safety a little."

Hua Yi quickly left the study. He didn't take the elevator or take the stairs. Instead, he planned to jump directly from the corridor on the second floor to the lobby on the first floor.

Although the incident happened suddenly, Fu Hua was more concerned about Hua Yi's safety than Ai Yin's. She was in danger, but when she heard the other party's arrangement, her first reaction was to comply rather than refuse. She couldn't understand her mentality at the moment. In this case, even Hua Yi's arrangement was not considered enough?

She hesitated , Fu Hua and Ai Yin still stayed in the study. Unlike the inside of the hall where they could not see their fingers, the study with moonlight streaming down from the windows could barely retain some vision and was relatively safe.

Ai Yin followed closely. Hua Yi gave Fu Hua a sense of peace of mind.

Peace of mind, but also weird. He always felt that Irene had taken away part of the position that belonged to him.

"Mr. Hua Yi, the interest of the story lies in the plot itself. Although the story can be forcibly brought to an end by relying on strength, is it really what you expected to end it so abruptly?"

After leaving the study room, Irene said something very meaningful, which was almost equivalent to a direct confession, revealing that she was different from others in this world.

Hua Yi was not surprised.

He turned to look at Irene, Even if the sudden power outage makes everything in his field of vision extremely dim, Hua Yi can still see a lot of things

"To me, stories in which no one is harmed are interesting. Even if it is just a dream, I hope that the people around me and those under my command can have good dreams. Of course, since you are here, I will cooperate as much as possible."

Hua Yi knew that Irene was different from the others, and Irene herself also understood that Hua Yi must have sensed part of the truth when Ruoyouruowu showed something.

But she didn't expect that Hua Yi would now She not only sensed part of the truth, but almost seemed to have understood the entire situation.

Miss Irene was speechless for a moment, then took a step back.

"So, please feel free to act as you please, I'm looking forward to seeing the story whose tone has been set be turned in the direction you like."
