Chapter 237 Raid
Dang rang rang rang rang rang.
The rapid ringing sounded like a knock on their hearts. Through the gap in the curtains, they could already see thick smoke starting to rise outside.
What a coincidence!
Waterless, hearing shouts and footsteps in the corridor, the two of them didn't pay much attention. Lin Qi grabbed a few documents at hand, and the two of them rushed out of the library.
There was already smoke in the corridor, it was not too thick. In the smoke, more than ten servants were rushing out from everywhere.
They were well-trained and methodical. When they met each other, they immediately formed a team and fled along the corridor without fighting or grabbing. When they met Miss Valente and Lynch, the servants directly protected them in the middle and coerced them. They ran outside together.
"Don't mess up. The exit is over here. Ahem, follow my voice. Ahem, cough. Go and call the eldest lady upstairs."
The air is very choking and smoky. People can't open their eyes, and it's impossible to tell the direction in the complex mansion, but there is an old butler with white beard and hair standing straight in the hall leading to the door, standing upright in the thick smoke, coughing loudly Lead the way.
"Holy Spirit, bless Suer, the eldest lady is out, hurry up, the exit is behind me."
Lin Qi was a little dazed by the thick smoke for a moment, and was surrounded by a bunch of maids and ran towards the exit. , the old butler behind him is like a knight in a classical novel, adhering to his duties in the thick smoke.
Bang, Lynch ran two steps quickly, kicked open the door, and finally rushed into the sunshine, breathing in the fresh air, feeling that he was finally alive.
Turning back and looking at each other, Miss Valente saw a few streaks of black ash on this girl's face that had been whitened by the heavy smoke. It made people want to help her wipe it with their own hands...
Pa, in my mind After Zhong slapped himself, Lin Qi took a few deep breaths and then had time to look around.
Although it was not a thick smoke, there was still smoke everywhere in the mansion, making people choke even in the courtyard and feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, no open flames were found from outside, indicating that the fire should not be big.
A group of girls had already gathered around Lin Qi and arrived at the fountain. It was considered completely safe, and then they began to make a noise. After experiencing a fire for the first time, Lynch's brain recovered.
Huh? What about the valet and the old butler?
Shit, stay behind to put out the fire, right? This is really the habit of medieval nobles. Women and children evacuate first, while men stay and fight.
Lin Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, quickly took off his coat, soaked his handkerchief, covered his nose, and planned to rush back to the fire scene.
"Mr. Lynch." Miss Valente grabbed his arm, "Stop, you are a guest, and there is no reason for the Valente family to let guests risk fighting the fire."
"What kind of guest? Let go. I'll help put out the fire at my friend's house. I want you to mind your own business."
"You..." The folding fan finally hit Lin Qi on the head, and his hand loosened, "Go, I'll go with you, I'm going to put out the fire in my own house, and you don't need to worry about it."
However, as soon as the two of them took two steps, there was a loud noise behind them. Looking back, the group of maids with dark faces each picked up containers such as gardening watering cans by the pool, and followed them with claws and teeth.
“Let’s go too, we want to protect the eldest lady from harm.”
Are you ordinary people holding watering cans going to water the flowers? And if you protect her, just protect her. Look at the fire and say, why are you looking at me?
Forget it, there is no open flame yet, and the temperature change is not obvious, so the danger should not be great, just do whatever you want.
However, once they returned to the mansion, the two realized something was wrong.
The smoke was too thick, but I still couldn't feel the temperature rising. And although the smoke was choking, it didn't have the burnt smell I had at the fire scene in the Hall of Order.
It's not like fire at all, but smoke.
"Miss."
The butler Louis was leading a few valets and running around the mansion with buckets. They also realized that something was wrong and could not find the origin of the fire.
"Everyone get out first, don't burn yourself to death. Since you can't find the fire, open all the windows first." "Listen to Lynch, Mr. Louis, you follow me, no, you all follow me. .”
Seeing that the old housekeeper was about to lead the people into the thick smoke and open the windows one by one, Miss Valente did not hesitate for a second. She picked up the old housekeeper and led everyone out of the mansion, taking the maids who were causing trouble as well. blasted out.
Looking back at a window is a shot.
Damn, this girl is so cruel.
This was the safest and fastest method. The other servants immediately followed suit. Stones and debris were flying around the mansion for a while, and there was a constant sound of glass shattering. Among them, Lynch was the one who smashed the most.
I just want to help, I really don’t want to hate rich people for smashing glass.
As soon as the window was opened, the problem became more obvious. The billowing smoke quickly came out of the window. Not only did it pour out from every window, but it kept coming out, like It was like pouring smoked rabbit into a hole when I was a kid, and I just couldn't stop.
Wait, smoked rabbit?
Lin Qi suddenly realized something was wrong. This was obviously done deliberately to drive the people out. What did he want to do?
What else can you do?
"Diana, which window is the library?"
Not being polite, Lynch grabbed Miss Valente's arm and shouted loudly. Miss Valente's expression also changed, and she raised her head and pointed upward. .
The biggest possibility of swaying the tiger away from the mountain is the information. Lin Qi didn't think about why the other party was able to seize the right opportunity, nor how he wanted to act. He immediately jumped up and stood outside the building. With a little help from the wall, it appeared outside the library window.
As soon as his body reached the window, he could already see the scene inside through the glass.
Only there is no thick smoke here, and a man in formal clothes covering his mouth and nose is at the door, opening the door and preparing to leave. As if sensing Lynch's gaze, the other party lifted his hat, nodded to Lynch, and then closed the door behind him.
Bang.
Lin Qi, who was in mid-air, swung his staff and smashed the window, then turned into a multi-section whip and rolled it inward, using the force of his body to rush in... Damn it.
The moment he broke in through the window, Lynch keenly felt that the temperature of the room was rising rapidly, and a hot breath was blowing in his face as the window was broken.
The next moment, a dazzling light exploded from the information on the table, and a ball of high-temperature and scorching flames emerged out of thin air, swallowing up Lynch who had broken in through the window.
"Boom."
The sudden explosion shocked everyone below. These people had looked up at Lynch's actions, so in their field of vision, with a loud noise, a A ball of flames spurted out from the window and swallowed Lin Qi completely.
"Lynch!"
Miss Valente's eyes were red, but she took a step too late. It was too late to do anything. She could only look at Lynch who had completely disappeared in the flames and screamed, but as soon as the scream sounded, a ball of flames smashed through the window. When it came down, it hit her side, causing the shocked servants to run away.
Whoosh, a big ball of flames actually burned on the ground out of thin air. Miss Valente, who was about to burst with anger, suddenly had an idea and rushed towards the flames that fell to the ground. At the same time, the light of the flame suddenly dimmed, and then turned into a human figure emitting white smoke. He screamed and staggered back a few steps, and was just held by Miss Valente.
“It hurts so much, it hurts me to death.”
Lin Qi screamed in pain, and at the last moment he took on the enthusiasm of the Fiery Lady of Strange Objects. Lin Qi narrowly avoided the shock wave and flame damage of the explosion, but the pain of his soul being burned was still unavoidable. He remained silent while Screaming, it fell down like a meteorite.
But as soon as he woke up, he squeezed Miss Valente's hand to indicate that he was fine, then jumped into the air again and rushed back towards the still steaming library.
Damn it, information!
If you miss a move, you can't let it be ruined by the opponent's success. This is your last hope.
