Chapter 376 The Fourth Dance
The fourth dance, Ode to Joy.
Cheerful, lively and light, this is a world-famous song that can make people excited and forgetful just by its melody.
People held hands and danced in circles on the dance floor. The audience clapped and sang outside the dance floor, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
As soon as this dance ends, Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Excellency the Duke will appear.
At that time, the balcony door on the third floor of the castle will be opened, and the two people will greet the guests on the high platform. Her Royal Highness, on behalf of His Majesty the King, will express her gratitude to all attendees.
Then the princess will walk out of the castle, walk into the people, and dance with the invitees
The fourth dance has begun, and with the sound of light music, singing and laughter, the circle of people on the dance floor has already turned. stand up.
The cheerful atmosphere made everyone put aside their worries temporarily and put smiles on their faces.
But in the midst of the joy, the two people strode forward, one behind the other, straight into the dance floor, passing through the circling crowd without any hindrance, and rushed all the way up the steps of the castle.
Lynch and Natalie.
The two of them were filled with anxiety.
If Lynch's guess is correct, it means that someone can use this method to walk directly in front of Princess Sophia, and in the Duke's Palace and the castle, there are high-level and mid-level soul changers with hundreds of guns and ammunition fully armed. The governor's guard has become ineffective.
This is simply an invitation.
Anyone can ignore any defensive measures and stand arrogantly in front of the princess. They can even take a selfie with the princess palace and those high-level powerhouses with nuclear bomb levels. And as long as they leave this state at this time, no one will have a chance to prevent the princess from being killed.
If nothing else, Her Royal Highness is now in a dead end. Officers Lynch and Natalie analyzed that the other party's plan is likely to be at the end of the fourth dance, when the princess speaks on behalf of King Rudolph II on the balcony. At that time, he assassinated the princess with the most violent means in front of everyone, which directly triggered the conflict between the nobles and the parliament.
The previous three attacks were just a means to confuse the public, and now it is the final hand of the general.
It is an almost unsolvable dead game. If it is allowed to develop, no matter how strict the protection is, it will not save Princess Sophia. She will definitely die.
But fate always leaves a glimmer of hope, variables appear, and trump cards are revealed.
Now only Lynch and Natalie can save Sophia's fate and prevent the intensification of conflicts.
The enemy is unknown, but the four exposed high-level ones are all outside. The one here is probably one or more mid-level assassins. And Lynch hasn't seen the new evil god for a long time, and his supreme will hasn't had time to recharge.
But as a man, you always have to take some risks.
So, here they come.
There was no one on the steps of the castle. Only four guards holding steam rifles stood there like javelins at the end of the steps, guarding the tranquility of the castle.
Four sharp eyes stared at the door, even blinking in turns, but right in front of them, the two of them rushed straight up the stairs.
Lin Qi raised his foot and kicked violently towards the door.
Then he walked directly through the closed door. Officer Natalie immediately followed without hesitation and passed through the door.
The castle is magnificent, from cashmere carpets from the ancient continent to crystal lamps from the New World. The rich heritage reveals an impressive nobility.
But the two didn't even look at it, they noticed something else.
The state of the world gate has changed, which means that Lynch’s guess is completely correct, and...
"Someone has already come in."
The police officer nodded: "Proceed with caution and be careful in everything."
"Understood."
With that said, Lynch directly entered the lurking state, so only Officer Natalie was left inside the castle gate.
"Uh...not that cautious." She glanced casually into the air, the police officer drew her sword, and walked quickly along the corridor without looking back, "Follow us, we Where to go?" Lin Qi's voice followed him like a shadow: "Look for the princess directly. No matter where the enemy is now, as long as we find the princess before him, we will win half the battle. But such a big castle must have at least dozens of rooms, one by one. It’s too much trouble to find, so we must find a way.”
The police officer didn't stop, but she immediately turned around and glanced at the source of the voice with a strange look: "There are three hundred and seventeen rooms, and don't you know that the core security personnel have all seen the castle defense map?" < br>
Speaking, he kicked again, targeting the door on the right side of the corridor.
Kicked in the air, but the door still opened.
The police officer gritted her teeth and rolled in smoothly.
Two maids dressed in black and white were walking in the corridor behind the door carrying trays, unaware of the movement behind them.
Officer Natalie passed by them and heard the whistling of the wind behind her. It was Lynch waving his cane. He should have swung it towards the two maids but failed.
"Is it necessary?"
"To be on the safe side, hit someone when you see them, otherwise I can't tell who is fake. Can you tell the difference?"
"Shut up, I know. , we take a shortcut.”
Before he finished speaking, Officer Natalie stopped and pressed the head of the bronze statue next to the corridor, and then her eyes changed.
"The activation mechanism has been pressed. The intruders have also made perfect preparations and are faster than us."
"Don't think too much, chase." Lynch's voice came from the statue There was a sound from the wall next to it, and there was a slap on the wall, "Where is the entrance?"
"On the other side, you touched the wrong side."
The designer must be crazy.
Lynch ignored the complaints and followed Officer Natalie through the non-existent wall. Not far away was the spiral staircase. Through the small window above the staircase, the laughter from outside came in. , separated by a wall, but like two worlds.
At the same time, there was music coming in, and the Ode to Joy was already halfway through and coming to an end.
The fourth dance is coming to an end.
"Quick, third floor."
Not daring to waste a second, the two rushed straight to the third floor. Just after halfway up the stairs, Lin Qi felt a will quickly sweep past him.
The familiar will, that is one of the high-level guardians from several parties.
He kept walking, following the police officer closely, but Lynch tried desperately to run his soul, trying to attract the attention of the guards. However, his attempts could not break the isolation between the two parties, and the patrol's will was unknown. go through.
"Then we have to rely on ourselves."
Officer Natalie flew up again, but this time there was an unexpected collision sound.
The door is closed.
The enemy hasn't arrived yet? Have we caught up?
The two of them were overjoyed. Officer Natalie broke through the door first and ran into the spacious and bright hall on the third floor from the dark stairs.
At least a hundred people have gathered on the third floor, including two people.
Vicomte Molière, Baron Beauval, the princess's main bodyguard, the escorts from the Governor's Palace, and the servants of the mansion were all busy preparing for the princess's speech.
The princess was also there, standing with His Excellency the Duke at the end of the hall dozens of meters away, in front of the glass door leading to the balcony. A bunch of servants were busy around the two big men, adjusting their clothes for the last time before the show started.
Caught up!
The two looked at each other and smiled, but as soon as the joy rose, Lin Qi saw a person next to the door, smiling strangely in the direction of the two.
At this moment, Lynch’s hairs stood up and his pupils shrank.
