Chapter 139 The Vortex Incident
Dingdong ~
The elevator carried the two of them to the top floor of the hotel.
There is a hollow wall lamp two meters away on the wall with shell patterns.
The two sides of the passage with gray wool carpets are arranged symmetrically and regularly.
The top of the corridor is also made of some exquisite black wood with ribbon patterns, used as a 'track' decoration.
There are also curved glass booths between the rooms, where various dark styles of art are placed, or Renaissance paintings are hung on the walls.
At this moment, the door of the third room on the left slowly opened.
An elderly resident walked out slowly with a candle in one hand and holding the wall with the other... His pupils were filled with fatigue and fear, and even a trance.
When the resident caught Han Dong with his own eyes, his fear escalated into fear and immediately returned to his room like a ghost.
Kak~The continuous locking sound kept coming from the inside.
“That was just…”
Even though the resident only appeared in Han Dong's vision for less than a second, 90% of the image characteristics have been remembered.
Apart from the common characteristics of some dark dwellers and the 'pathological' manifestations caused by severe insomnia.
The old man's little finger on his right hand showed a [spiral shape]... In comparison, it was far less than Han Dong's peek at his spiral arm last night.
Neither the degree of spiral nor the coverage area of spiral is as good as that of spirals.
Moreover, the old man did not exude danger or made Han Dong feel uneasy... However, through the perception of death of [Anubis divinity], Han Dong could probably see that the old man might die in the near future.
“Is this 'spiral' a disease?”
Han Dong was worried and opened his room through the room card.
Just as the door opened!
Ga~ The sound of straight lines coming from the upper end.
A black shadow suddenly fell down, because his neck was tied with a rope, and his feet were just one centimeter from the ground.
The one who appeared in the guest room in a "hanged" way was the girl at the front desk.
Such a strange way of appearance scared Maritse almost sprayed water.
Han Dong was commonplace. After seeing his spiritual invasion successful, he hurried into the house.
The first time he conducted a comprehensive inspection of this room and confirmed that there was no "ears in the partition wall", Han Dong sat in the rocking chair in the corner and began to talk to the girl at the front desk hanging in the middle of the room.
Maritse also sat on one of Han Dong's thighs with interest, wanting to hear the weird stories in London.
"What do you want to know?" An extremely hoarse voice overflowed from the strangled neck.
"Don't you have a hard time talking like this? Why don't you put the rope down and speak normally?"
"This state is 'normal' for us... The [dark dwellers] in London have more or less quirks that can help us concentrate."
"Okay..."
Han Dong quickly accepted this setting and entered the "Q&A session".
"What is your name, what unit, and is it related to the agent?"
"Irene, born at 83 Besson Street, London City, was forced to work here for work because she participated in the registration and investigated a 'vortex case'.
I have no direct relationship with the Intelligence Agency, but their people often contact me and ask about some of the situation in the hotel."
Han Dong touched his chin and continued to ask: "What do you mean by the 'special period'?
Why is the hotel only open on the top floor? The staff here seem to have been transferred?
Who are the residents on the top floor?"
When talking about this issue, the front desk girl hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have a line of defense for such issues in her heart, but she was quickly broken by "crazy laughter".
""Special period" refers to the "vortex period".
The city of London is now shrouded in the shadow of the [Vortex], especially the residents of the middle and lower levels are greatly affected and are in panic all day long.
This [Cavendish Royal Hotel] had more than ten whirlpool incidents some time ago, so that all employees here resigned. The hotel was ordered to be suspended by the administrative department and used for temporary containment of 'whirlpool-related personnel'.
The dark dwellers who have experienced the vortex incident but survived unexpectedly...Their condition is very unstable, most of them will die within a few days, and the remaining part will disappear."
The girl at the front desk answered directly to fill Han Dong's interest.
"Oh?... Can you tell me what you know about the vortex incident?"
"The origin of the rumored "Vortex Incident" is related to the 'participants' who appeared in London through the Gate of Destiny several months ago.
During that time, as ordinary residents, we were restricted in our movements.
I was resting at home during that time and I never saw the so-called "participants". I only later learned through the newspaper that they were all dead.
A few days later, a strange serial murder occurred in the outer city of London.
Even if senior agents are dispatched, it is difficult to find clues.
The body of the deceased will often be twisted into a spiral shape.
The survivors involved will also disappear completely within a few days after dying in an exaggerated "spiral state" or leave a vortex mark in the room.
Only a very small number of senior agents can occasionally see the "strange shadows with spiral twists all over the body", but they can't find the murderer.
Because "vortex incidents" frequently occur in urban areas, especially residential areas with relatively large population density.
Nowadays, many residents in the middle and lower levels are eager to leave the city of London.”
Hearing this, some of Han Dong's doubts were resolved.
As Han Dong guessed, the events he was involved in were related to the former [participant incident].
But as some of the doubts are resolved, new doubts are generated.
Han Dong asked: "Isn't this a city governed by the kingly land deeds by [parent mother]? With his own old king's ability combined with the "power of land deeds", he should be able to directly locate the criminal, right?
Or sending a mythical body to deal with this matter will not cause panic in the whole city, right?"
"It is difficult for us to contact [Mother].
Rumor has it that my mother is conducting an important ceremony and cannot get out of it.
[Grand Duke Vlad] has been entrusted to comprehensively investigate the "vortex incident", but the incident has not made any major progress for a long time."
Han Dong knew very well that the so-called [Grand Duke Vlad] must be a mythical body.
Han Dong, who had just been cultivated in the Underground Stone Temple of Enkai, is very clear about the strength of the mythical body. He can definitely reach the leader level... There is no big progress in investigating existences at this level, which is very strange.
"Is it really impossible to find it, or is it intentionally not to look for it?"
Just when Han Dong fell into deep thought.
Squeak squeak ~
A sharp sound of metal splitting came from outside the door.
I saw a wave of void light and shadow floating between Han Dong's feet, and he had already come from the corner of the wall to the front door.
Click!
Open the door suddenly.
There is nothing in the channel.
