Afternoon, five o'clock sharp, Hiiragi City, Regent Hotel.

Regent Hotel is located in the inner ring area of ​​Hiiragi City, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The surrounding area of ​​20 kilometers is filled with wealthy people's residential areas, and there are gorgeous villas everywhere.

At the same time, the main church of the Holy Sound Church is also located nearby.

Except for special holidays, the number of customers at Regent Hotel is always very few, because there are not many people who can spend money here in Hiiragi City.

But today, the roads and parking lots around the Regent Hotel are filled with all kinds of high-end business vehicles and luxury sports cars, and men and women in formal dresses are getting out of the cars one after another.

More than 500 people from the upper echelons of Hiiragi City, including people from the political, business and church circles, came to attend tonight's grand banquet at the Regent Hotel.

The son of the chief of the police station is walking into the Regent Hotel with a group of people at this moment.

As the son of the chief of the police station, Lin Chen's status among these celebrities is not low, and people kept saying hello to him along the way.

Behind Lin Chen, Chu Bai was wearing a black suit, slicked back hair, and a pair of shiny leather shoes, dressed like a waiter or bodyguard.

Chu Bai plays the role of Lin Chen's bodyguard. Besides him, there is also Li Qingning, who is also dressed in a suit.

As for Li Yan, Si Jiaxue, Melonia, Xiaoyu, Aye and others from Lin Chen's team, they either changed their appearance and disguised themselves as waiters and other participants and infiltrated into the Regent Hotel, or they just stayed in the hotel

On standby, ready to take action and respond at any time.

After all, it would be too eye-catching for Lin Chen to bring a dozen bodyguards alone, and some large weapons are difficult to bring into the hotel, such as Li Yan's tower shield.

Chu Bai glanced at the display on the screen map. The charging progress of the Key to the Sky was stuck at 95% and had not been touched for more than an hour.

Now there are only thirty-one teams left in Hiiragi City.

Of the fifty teams in Hiiragi City, except for Chu Bai, Lin Chen, and the Gu Boji team who have not yet met, the remaining forty-seven teams have been eliminated.

Speaking of the teams in various cities, most of the city teams have been eliminated. Of the remaining thirty-one teams, twenty-two teams belong to nineteen cities, of which sixteen cities only

There is one single seedling team left, and two teams are left in three cities.

The cities with the most remaining teams are Hiiragi City, Yucheng and Rongcheng, each with three teams.

Both Chongqing City and Chengdu City have the strength, but Hiiragi City doesn’t know whether it’s luck or the home field advantage.

Chu Bai glanced at the celebrities walking on the red carpet of the hotel, as well as the waiters in every corner.

There were more than 500 celebrities attending the meeting, and the total number of waiters and security company personnel arranged by the Regent Hotel was about 300.

I don’t know how many of them are disguised as participants.

"Yin Zhen and the others should have arrived, but I don't know where they are hiding now."

Lin Chen glanced at his watch and walked into the huge ballroom.

The ballroom of the Regent Hotel is quite large, almost as big as a stadium, and sports competitions can be held directly inside.

To describe it as a dance hall would seem a bit narrow in a literal sense. Perhaps it should be described as a dance floor.

The decoration style of the dance floor is a typical church style, with a strong religious atmosphere.

Elegant classical music played on the dance floor, and men in formal suits and ladies in formal dresses danced on the dance floor, like swimming fish.

The most famous symphony orchestra in Hiiragi City that plays classical music. They are located on a high platform in the center of the dance floor. The conductor waves his baton to control the beat. String instruments such as violins and cellos, as well as woodwinds, brass, pianos, and percussion instruments

The timbres of other instruments blend into one.

Lin Chen stood on the edge of the dance floor, looked at the pianist on the stage, and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"She is so high-profile. She doesn't even put any makeup on her face. Is this a provocation to Lu Boran and the others?" Lin Chen whispered.

The pianist on the stage is none other than Luo Yan, the vice-captain of Yin Yu’s team.

At this time, Luo Yan was wearing a tuxedo and her long hair was tied into a long ponytail. As her slender fingers danced on the seemingly valuable piano, the long ponytail danced like an elf among the flowers.<

/p>

"Aren't you also present as you are? In fact, it doesn't make any difference whether you hide it or not. After the news spreads, Lu Boran and the others must have been prepared.

In addition to those unknowing celebrities and people from our side, there are also many red spirits hidden in this hotel. I can already smell the body odor of the red spirits, which is as pungent as the smell of sulfur when you take a deep breath at the foot of a volcano."

Chu Bai said lightly.

In fact, Luo Yan's background status in Hiiragi City is that of the pianist in this orchestra.

In reality, she is also very good at the piano.

"Luo Yan is here, and Yin Zhen and the others are probably also here." Chu Bai glanced across the entire dance floor, and found Yin Zhen, the twins, and Raya among the crowd.

The bodies of the twins, Big Bear and Er Bear, are so eye-catching that even if they are thrown into a sea of ​​people, they can be easily recognized without using some means to hide them.

At this moment, Yin Yu and Raya are sitting around a booth on the edge of the dance floor, sipping the fine red wine provided by the hotel, while the burly Big Bear and Er Xiong are playing the role of bodyguards like Chu Bai and Li Yan.

Raya was holding a goblet with blood-red wine in it. She took a sip and said, "I like drinking. There are wineries in the Scarlet City that make red wine, but the taste is inferior to that brewed by humans."

But it has less charm."

Yin Yu shook the wine glass and said: "It is said that red wine needs to be decanted to leave the sediment at the bottom of the bottle so that it tastes good when drunk.

In fact, it is just an affectation by the so-called nobles and upper class people, and it tastes just like that.

Speaking of wine, I think the liquor from our southwest region is better."

Before the merger, the four provinces in southwest China were all big liquor provinces. Many people make their own wines and drink them, and there are countless kinds of famous liquors.

"Then I must see it if I have a chance." Raya said.

Lin Chen, Chu Bai, and Li Qingning came over and sat down in the empty seats in the booth.

Yin Yu glanced at Chu Bai and Lin Chen.

Chu Bai's figure stood as straight as a javelin, and Lin Chen kept his back straight even when he was sitting. Their crisp suits outlined smooth lines.

Under the suit, Chu Bai had Xue Kui's long sword tied with a belt behind his back, and under Yin Yu's suit, there was a long bow with the bow string unstrung, tied behind his back with the bow string.

Both of them are tall enough, so they can hide their weapons under their suits without being exposed, and they can move without any abnormality.

In comparison, Li Qingning's double guns are much easier to hide. They can be inserted directly into two close-fitting holsters.

"Amazing magnanimity, men are really ready to go to the battlefield at any time." Raya said appreciatively.

Underneath the fragile-looking suit, there was a more stern demeanor and murderous intent than the armored warriors of the Scarlet City. Raya suddenly felt a solemn charm.

She appreciates this charm because it is just like wine.

The older the wine is, the mellower it becomes, and the more polite the gentleman is, the more fascinating he becomes when he reveals his violent side.

Lin Chen poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip: "I also want to find some beautiful girls as partners on the dance floor to dance a few dances. I can't use the long bow tied behind me, so I can only come here to sit with you.

Sit down."

"Speaking of which, the location where the Key to Heaven was formed and the address of the Regent Hotel shown on the map overlap, what a coincidence." Lin Chen said.

Yin Yu said: "This is no coincidence. The construction of the Regent Hotel can be traced back ten years ago. The entire Regent Hotel is actually more like a tower. The Regent Hotel has seven floors in total, and the overall layout is based on the theory of Feng Shui and Kanyu.

Built.

The theory of Feng Shui and the talisman technology are actually the same technology, but Feng Shui uses naturally occurring talisman patterns.

The paths formed by earth energy are earth veins, a kind of natural runes. In addition, there are paths formed by wind currents and water flows, which are also natural runes.

So in fact, this Regent Hotel is the mother body that has been prepared long ago to give birth to the Key of Heaven."

Lin Chen, Chu Bai and Li Qingning all heard this statement for the first time. The mysterious and mysterious Feng Shui theory can be related to rune pattern technology, and it sounds quite reasonable.

Yin Yu said: "I'm not talking nonsense. Luo Yan told me that there are many scholars in her family and they are very knowledgeable."

"The Regent Hotel has seven floors in total, so which floor will the Key to Heaven finally appear on?" Chu Bai asked.

"I'm not sure. It's possible at any level, so we need to act according to the circumstances." Yin Yu said.

A few people were tasting wine in the booths, and time passed slowly.

The elegant music gradually came to an end and stopped abruptly.

The men and women on the dance floor also slowly stopped dancing, still unfinished.

The symphony orchestra retreated behind the scenes, and Luo Yan, who was wearing a tuxedo, walked out from behind the scenes and sat down in the booth where Yin Yu and others were sitting.

She asked: "Has anyone seen the three patriarchs?"

Several people present shook their heads.

The nominal host of this banquet is the church, and everyone else is a guest.

However, the strange thing is that none of the three patriarchs who served as hosts showed up. They were just some regional bishops greeting the guests.

"They should be at a higher level." Li Qingning said, "The ball is just the opening, and then the banquet will really begin."

Luo Yan said: "I have checked all the pipes in the Regent Hotel in advance, and there is nothing buried.

They do not intend to use explosive methods like before to transform these upper-class celebrities into red spirits."

"But I smelled the awakening agent. There are a lot of awakening agents hidden in the Regent Hotel." Chu Yan said.

"Are they planning to issue awakening potions directly to these people? These people will all be willing to transform into red spirits, is it impossible?

These people are already high-ranking officials and have no shortage of anything. They only want to become monsters when they have nothing to do." Lin Chen expressed his incomprehension.
