The rain tonight was particularly fierce, thunderclouds rolled, and the heavy rain crackled on the roof, window sills, and car hoods.
Xue Na lay quietly, from all kinds of swear words racing in her heart to feeling calm, she even had time to think about why Teacher Changying hadn't come back for so long. Is that little green tea still alive?
This is the craziest guy she has ever seen. If you use yourself as bait, aren't you afraid that he will actually fall over?
But now, she had to take a gamble like this.
Xue Na turned over, facing the front seat, staring at the dark leather seat back and sighed silently.
Qiuzi did not disappear today, but she also allowed Teacher Changying to put the only bargaining chip on her, and even started to take action tonight, hoping to control her, the confirmed "sacrifice" in advance.
But the real moment is tomorrow.
So the task is not completed yet.
…
The dull sound of dense rain fell, and a cold feeling flowed in the darkness.
Xue Na, who was in a daze, quickly closed her eyes. After a while, the sound of the rainstorm suddenly became louder, crackling in her ears, accompanied by the smell of moisture, and an icy chill spread throughout her body with the rain and wind.
It was quite difficult to restrain one's body from shivering instinctively, but Xue Na really held it back.
No one found her conscious.
Xue Na very clearly felt something like tentacles flowing on her body, caressing her back where she was pressed on the seat, and gradually covering her whole body.
"This offering is very good."
A hoarse and sharp voice slowly sounded, as weird and scary as fingernails scratching on glass, and Xue Na tried her best to hold back the goose bumps.
She also needs to suppress her fear. She must be confident that she will be absolutely safe before tomorrow morning!
So no matter what, you can’t expose it at this time!
No other sounds came from outside, and Xue Na felt raindrops falling on her body. Then, she fell into a cold and dark place with a feeling of ups and downs.
She didn't dare to open her eyes from beginning to end.
…
…
The night was dark, the torrential rain was beating the city mercilessly, and the neon lights were clearly extinguished in the rain curtain.
Several cars parked silently on the street, the sound of gentle footsteps was obscured by the heavy rain, and the water on the ground gurgled along the stone steps.
Even with such heavy rain, there is still no tendency for the streets to be flooded. I wonder if the city's drainage facilities are well constructed.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, there was no lightning or thunder, only the dull sound of rain.
"It's already three o'clock in the morning, and the rain is still so heavy. Will it really clear up tomorrow morning?"
Sitting in the car and waiting, Officer Zhang looked at the heavy rain outside, then looked at the time, and said in confusion.
The priest was reading a textbook with distorted text and said, "That's not clear. Maybe it doesn't need to clear up at all, and the sun is swallowed up despite the rain."
"Will it rain during a total solar eclipse?" Officer Zhang asked.
"I'm not an astronomer."
"..."
The car became quiet. Officer Zhang simply felt a little bored while waiting and couldn't help but want to find something to talk about.
The priest seemed to be indifferent, so she began to ask her subordinates about the arrangements there.
After the police were attacked, the remaining people were arranged to other temporary strongholds. During this period, they had been observing the movements in the city, but no matter how they searched, they could not find the hiding place of the cultists.
Until today Qiuzi sent the location information.
However, because the sacrifice time is tomorrow, they have not gone over to alert the snake yet.
"Xue Na actually didn't escape." Looking at the message he received, Officer Zhang raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Their teacher will attack them tonight. Qiuzi must have done something to directly determine the identity of the 'sacrifice'." The priest said casually: "It saves us from taking action."
After all, Xue Na must appear as a sacrifice. If she really escapes, no one will let her go.
She can't leave this city either.
Officer Zhang thought for a while and suddenly whispered: "Qiuzi was also taken in."
The priest said perfunctorily: "How pitiful."
"..."
The atmosphere was tense again.
Officer Zhang was sitting in the driver's seat, staring at the sky outside through the misty car window. The dark clouds and violent storms seemed like the sky was roaring.
She kept staring while chatting away, and time flowed by unconsciously, sticky and slow.
The car was extremely quiet, with only the dull sound of raindrops falling.
I don't know how much time passed, but the priest who was reading the teaching manual suddenly turned his head slightly and looked at the water droplets flowing on the car window.
Then he rolled down the window.
A gust of cold wind blew in from outside, and Officer Zhang, who was in a daze, suddenly came to his senses and looked at the dark blue rising from the sky with a little confusion. At the end of the blue, there was a touch of pale white.
"Is it going to be dawn?"
"You're not still asleep, are you?" the priest said speechlessly.
"That's not true." Officer Zhang wiped his face, opened his phone and read the message.
They lay dormant in the heavy rain all night, but there was no movement from the monitored iron gate, and the policemen lurking everywhere did not take action, patiently waiting for dawn.
Officer Zhang squinted and looked out the window, opened the car door and walked out, raising his head to face the sky.
The rain stopped.
It really stopped!
"We can't wait any longer. We still have half an hour. I'll have someone go over to investigate the situation first," Officer Zhang said with a sigh of relief.
She didn't wait for the priest's reply, and gave an order through the communication headset to send someone nearby to knock on the door.
"Pay attention to the rhythm of knocking, three long and three short." Officer Zhang said seriously: "Once someone opens the door, no matter who it is, they will break in directly. If no one opens the door for a long time, they will also rush in!"
After receiving the order, they acted quickly. In the dim sky, several people in dark blue uniforms shuttled through the alley.
"You are really reckless."
The priest reluctantly got out of the car and took down the tightly wrapped ornate sword from the back seat.
Officer Zhang ignored him. While her subordinate was walking towards the alley, she checked her equipment and walked over there.
Operating at night was not good for them, so they waited until now.
But if it's completely dawn and the other party starts the sacrificial ceremony, then the situation will still be unfavorable to them, so before dawn is the best time to act!
Well-trained personnel surrounded the area from both sides of the alley, and police were also stationed on the rooftops.
