Chapter 212 Searching for Louis
Chapter 212 Searching for Louis
After Leon and his group left, Ada jumped off the roof and came to the window of the second-floor bedroom.
Pulling open the window and entering the bedroom, she murmured, "I hope there's a clue to Louis here."
The bedroom had already been ransacked by the four people who had gone before, leaving only a drawer that seemed to be locked... undamaged.
Ada went up to the attic first, took a look and saw that there was nothing there, then came down.
She glanced at the book "The Canon of Light" outside the corridor on the second floor and gave her evaluation:
"Their scriptures are quite interesting."
When Ada got downstairs, as soon as she turned her head, a hen flapped its wings and pecked her hard.
"Grrrrrr!"
"—Go, go, go! Get out of the way!"
She waved her hand to drive them away angrily, and the hen quickly ran up to the second floor.
However, after walking around the first floor, she found no clues, and there was nothing worth selling to the merchant.
All of them were robbed by those newborns! (Angry)
She had no choice but to sort out her thoughts in the stairwell and think about where to find Louis.
My body leaned against the wall inadvertently, and a photo frame on the wall fell down. There was a key hidden in the secret compartment!
"Wow, what a great discovery."
After thinking about it, Ada still didn't know what lock the key was used to open.
Maybe try that drawer in the second floor bedroom?
Back on the second floor, the hen was sitting on the big bed in the bedroom, incubating eggs, looking at Ada with slightly hostile eyes.
I tried to open the locked drawer with this key and it worked!
Unfortunately, there was only a note inside:
----
Detention room
My fellow countrymen! The leader is deeply displeased!
Never kill outsiders at will, otherwise it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble!
Everyone has the right to a fair trial.
From now on, we should abandon prejudice and carry out trials with dignity.
If any outsiders were caught, they would be taken to the factory basement.
Traitors must also be treated equally.
——Village chief, Beatorres Mendes.
----
"Hmm... the factory basement?"
After putting down the note and having a goal in mind, Ada prepared to leave for the factory immediately.
When I turned around, the hen had jumped off the bed and left the bedroom, and there was an egg on the bed.
She picked up the egg, played with it in her hands for a while, and turned to look at the portrait of Sadler...which was covered with egg yolk and egg white.
After tactical thinking, she also paste the egg on Sadler's portrait.
Wow! Ada pushed open the bedroom door and just took a step when a big hand suddenly grabbed her neck from the side!
Only then did she realize that it was the village chief Mendes who had ambushed behind the door at some point in time!
As Mendes' hands gradually gained strength, Ada felt a suffocating feeling rising to her brain.
In desperation, she grabbed his arms with both hands, exerted force with her lower body, adjusted her position and performed a scissor kick.
After locking Mendes' head and spinning it for a while, Aida successfully used the force to throw him to the ground.
Knowing that a follow-up shot would be useless against a guy of this level, she didn't waste ammunition and immediately turned around and ran down the stairs.
Mendes stood up, put on his hat slowly, and said in a low voice: "You have no way to escape!"
Bang-dang——!
The next moment, the door was knocked open by a villager; Ada paused, turned decisively and fled to the back door.
However, she had only taken a few steps out of the back door when she ran into Mendes and the villagers who came out of the front door to intercept her.
Ada decisively pulled out her pistol and shot him right between the eyebrows, causing his head to tilt back and his top hat to fly away.
This time, Mendes seemed genuinely enraged.
He no longer cared about the top hat that fell on the ground and walked towards Ada aggressively.
So she went back and entered the villa through the back door and then came out through the front door.
Several villagers also rushed to the main entrance after hearing the noise, but she dodged them all nimbly as they were only holding axes and other melee weapons.
Following the bluestone steps, Ada soon arrived at the open-air warehouse, outside the factory's large iron gate.
Looking back, Mendes and the valuable villagers were still chasing them.
"Still chasing? Humph."
“——That’s it!”
Seeing them rushing towards her, Ada raised the corner of her mouth, took out her grappling hook gun, hit a horizontal bar on the top of the iron gate, and easily jumped over.
Boom-!
The iron door made a dull sound, probably because Mendes punched it hard.
But soon, the noisy voices of the villagers behind the door gradually faded away.
"It looks like we've gotten rid of them."
After brushing off the dust on her body, Ada saw the shop in front of the factory and a businessman standing in the shop.
She soon saw the bounty missions for "Rodent Pest Control" and "Recover the Jacket".
However, she had nothing to sell to the merchant, so she could only enter the factory under the merchant's silent gaze.
He activated the tracking function of his contact lenses, and after taking a few steps, he saw a huge footprint on the ground.
"It must be that big village chief..."
Following the footprints deeper into the factory, she soon saw Leon and Elliot's masterpiece: several corpses of villagers.
However, at this time, there were still a few living villagers dragging away the corpses.
Ada took advantage of their inattention or separation to kill the lone villagers one by one, and did not forget to take the pesetas on them.
Although the number is not large, it adds up to a lot.
After jumping through the window and arriving at a furnace area, she immediately saw a villager squatting in the corner... wearing a fashionable sheepskin jacket!
There were two dead rats lying next to the villager, and he was concentrating on catching a rat that was at least as big as a human fist.
After he grabbed the mouse and strangled it to death, Ada's knife reached out to his neck.
Swish-!
After she raised her knife and slashed it, she took away his catch, put it in a cloth bag and hung it around her waist.
Taking the jacket off the villager, Ada recognized it immediately as the one Leon had worn when he entered the village.
"Hmm! B3 flight jacket, should be able to sell for a good price."
There was no place to put such a big jacket, so she simply put it on herself.
You know what, it's quite warm, and it smells like Lyon (??)
Pushing open the iron door at the side and entering the basement, Ada suddenly felt a flash in front of her eyes, and the surroundings were immediately filled with fog.
The stabbing pain in her head forced her to stop and hold her temple.
After a short rest, when the stinging sensation gradually faded away, she realized that she was already sweating coldly.
"Hiss...something's wrong..."
Continuing along the corridor, she soon arrived at the room where Louis, Leon and Elliot were imprisoned.
It's a pity that the place was already deserted, with only the body of a villager who was strangled with chains.
"Louis did this?"
Although Louis was not found, the tracking function of the contact lens discovered his footprints.
The footprints extended from the room to a shelf outside. Ada walked forward to check and found that it was a pack of Marlboro cigarettes...a cigarette box.
There was also a string of unknown numbers written on the back of the cigarette box: 422.1625.
