In an instant, a strange feeling spread from head to toe throughout Han Xiaoxiao's entire body.
Every hair on my body stood on end, as if an instinct etched into my cells had been activated.
Han Xiaoxiao gripped the hilt of the knife with her left hand in an instant, and her legs bent slightly, assuming a fighting stance.
She was stunned when she realized what she had done.
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she scrutinized Hela, who was just across the street from her.
But no matter how you look at it, she was just an ordinary pretty girl who was much prettier than the average girl, and she didn't seem dangerous at all.
but...
The veins on the back of his Xiaoxiao hand, gripping the knife handle, were bulging, and his fingertips were white from gripping too tightly.
The girl's hair and expression were exactly the same as that repulsive monster!
Hela had already noticed that the other person was watching her, but instead of looking away, Hela continued to stare intently at him.
Hela stared at her expressionlessly, which made Han Xiaoxiao's brows furrow more and more.
The sense of similarity grew stronger, Han Xiaoxiao thought to herself as she gazed at Hela.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her eyes widened sharply, and all the muscles in her body tensed up.
If my luck really is that good... maybe the girl in front of me is the enemy I've been searching for my whole life, [ HeLa Cell ]!
The moment this possibility appeared in Han Xiaoxiao's mind, it began to surge uncontrollably.
He looked like he might rush up and slash Hela at any moment.
These changes in the other party naturally did not fall into Hela's notice.
However, Hela wasn't afraid. With the opponent's current strength, even ten Han Xiaoxiao would only be enough to feed Hela a little.
The cold wind howled, sighing as it swept through the silent streets.
Two girls, one with long hair and the other with short hair, stood facing each other, one in the dazzling light beneath the building and the other in the endless darkness.
Just as everything was completely silent, a burst of electricity suddenly appeared in the vehicle behind Han Xiaoxiao.
Then the electric arc grew denser and denser, gradually forming the shape of a slender woman.
This gave the security guard at the main gate quite a fright.
The girl with twin ponytails, who had her hands behind her head and her feet propped up on the control panel, and the robot whose face screen was displaying electronic data, immediately stood up and moved closer.
After glancing at Hera twice, Han Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, shifted her gaze away from Hela, and turned to walk away.
"Hey! Qian Lan, how's it going? Did it work out?"
The girl with pigtails immediately asked Qian Lan with concern, her tone full of expectation and a hint of anxiety.
The robot and Han Xiaoxiao also stared intently at Qian Lan.
Qian Lan gave a wry smile and shook her head slightly.
The three of them felt their hearts sink to the bottom.
"They haven't given us an answer yet; we all need to go up and talk to him."
Hearing Qian Lan's words, the girl with pigtails breathed a sigh of relief. " Qian Lan! Could you finish what you were saying? You scared me to death!"
"I'm so sorry, Xiao Liu."
Qian Lan spoke to the girl with twin ponytails in an electronic-sounding voice, and then awkwardly scratched her head.
"In that case, let's go! Let's go in and have a good talk with that guy surnamed Gu."
Xiao Liu strode confidently toward the entrance of the building.
"No entry."
Just as I stepped inside, a security guard raised his hand to stop me.
"Huh...?" The girl with twin ponytails glared at the security guard, her mouth agape, making a face that seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?" and a mixture of disdain.
The security guard was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.
Just as he was about to speak to drive them away, the walkie-talkie that was hanging around his neck suddenly went off.
He frowned, picked up the walkie-talkie, and put it to his ear.
"What's wrong with Kaihong here?"
"..."
"Huh? Why?"
"..."
"No, no, let them in now."
The security guard put away his walkie-talkie, his expression as grim as if he'd just eaten a lump of something.
"Go in."
He clenched his teeth, forcing out these words.
The girl with twin ponytails snorted proudly and walked at the front with her head held high. As she passed the security guard, she even made a face at him.
"Wait a minute." Suddenly, the security guard called out to them again.
"What are you doing now?" Xiao Liu turned around impatiently.
"I'll show you the way; it's what I've been assigned."
The security guard said something very reluctantly, and then walked in front of the group to lead the way.
The group exchanged glances, said nothing more, and followed.
"Great opportunity, Hela! Let's sneak in together while the security guards aren't around!"
Qin Fengfeng face was still covered in cream, jumped up excitedly when she saw the security guard leading the group inside.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Once this opportunity is gone, it'll be gone forever!"
After saying that, he grabbed Hela's wrist and led her straight in through the main entrance.
Seeing that she had actually entered, Qin Fengfeng could no longer contain her excitement and smiled brightly.
"We did it!"
She held up Hela's innocent, fair little hand and cheered in the air, freely expressing her joy.
"Hello, ladies, may I ask which room you booked? I will then guide you there."
Suddenly, a voice that sent chills down Qin Fengfeng's spine came from behind.
When she stiffly stopped and looked back, a pretty woman dressed as a waitress was looking at them with a professional smile.
Qin Fengfeng's brain immediately went blank.
As a journalist, it's essential to have the ability to sneak into certain places, something Qin Fengfeng had naturally heard some of her seniors mention.
Theory is theory, and practice is practice. Even if she understands it in her mind, she still can't do it physically.
I had no idea what to do in this situation, so I just stood there dumbfounded, sweat pouring out of my palms.
"The most luxurious room."
Just then, Hela's soft, sweet, and emotionless voice, like an angel's hymn of salvation, rang out beside her.
"Alright, please follow me, you two."
The waitress paused slightly, then led the two to the top floor with noticeably more enthusiasm than before.
Qin Fengfeng kept ordering like a chick pecking at rice, closely following Hela behind the waiter.
"Wow, Hela, you're so clever! Even if we don't know the room number, as long as we mention the most expensive room, there's no problem with our plan."
"Besides, the most expensive room is definitely not far from Gu Gongming's room, so it's killing two birds with one stone!"
"Once we're almost there, we'll slip away Wusheng and sneak into Gu Gongming's room to interview him!"
Qin Fengfeng lowered his voice and kept praising Hela in her ear.
Hela simply covered the earphones in her ears with her hair and nodded 'obediently'.
