In fact, Hera could have thought of so much, and it wasn't just nonsense at all.

It's true that [X] booked the most expensive room in the building, intending to stay there first and then make further plans.

After hearing what Qin Fengfeng said, Hera felt that following her plan was quite a good idea.

Since I've already booked a suite here, I'm not afraid even if the staff catch me by accident.

The two followed the waitress into the building's elevator. It was the first time Hera had ever seen an elevator with such luxurious interior decoration; it felt incredibly high-tech.

As the waitress pressed the corresponding floor button, the floor display numbers began to change rapidly.

The journey of dozens of floors was completed in less than ten seconds, leaving Qin Fengfeng, a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, speechless with astonishment.

"Alright, you two, please follow closely."

The waitress reminded them and then led them out of the elevator.

However, at this moment, Qin Fengfeng glanced around and felt that the time was ripe.

"Um..." Qin Fengfeng called out to the waiter, her voice tinged with discomfort.

"I suddenly feel unwell and need to use the restroom. Could you tell me which direction the restroom is in..."

Seeing Qin Fengfeng covered in sweat, the waitress pointed her in a direction without any suspicion.

“Take a turn there and walk straight ahead, and you’ll see the restroom signs.”

"Okay, okay, thank you..."

Qin Fengfeng quickly thanked her twice, then pulled Hera along and hurried over there.

This puzzled the waiter. Why would he need to involve someone just to use the restroom? Were they that close?

Sudden!

The waitress had a brilliant idea!

The two of them...it seems they only booked one room...

This... is a cute and innocent girl and a teenage girl!

The waitress became excited, and her mind started to wander. Even Qin Fengfeng's reason for wanting to go to the toilet seemed strange to her.

"Oops! Hey, what's wrong? Have you caught a cold?"

Qin Fengfeng, hiding in the toilet, rubbed her nose.

The two had arrived at the restroom and were preparing to escape and conduct their investigation from there.

Qin Fengfeng stuck her head out and looked around, but after confirming that no one was around, she immediately pulled it back in.

"Okay, little helper Hera, we're safe now, let's go!"

She waved behind her without turning her head, but after a long time, there was no response.

Qin Fengfeng looked back in confusion and found that the toilet door was open, and immediately sighed.

"If you want to use the restroom, then close the door."

As a result, when she walked over and looked into the restroom, she was completely stunned.

The toilet was empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.

Qin Fengfeng panicked a little and quickly checked the other restrooms, but found that Hera was not there.

"Oh no, Hera has run away!"

Unbeknownst to Qin Fengfeng, inside the ventilation duct directly above the toilet, a shapeless mass of scarlet flesh was crawling along the duct wall in one direction.

...

In the dimly lit room, the dreamlike blue starry sky shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows onto Gu Gongming's somber face.

His cool and handsome face was slightly flushed at the moment, and the wine glass in his left hand swayed slightly before Gu Gongming drank it all in one gulp.

"Another one, please..."

He spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, bringing the wine glass towards the maid beside him.

"yes."

The maid, holding a glass of 1982 red wine, smiled and leaned slightly forward to fill it with the crimson liquid.

Gu Gongming held the scarlet liquid up in front of him, shaking it.

The liquid is confined within the glass, enveloped in the night.

Looking at his own face reflected in the red, Gu Gongming seemed to recall the figure lying in a pool of blood, reflected in the water.

Click—!

Without warning, the glass shattered against the French windows, the liquor slowly sliding down the glass and spreading, turning the city behind it a blood-red hue.

His chest heaved violently, but Gu Gongming's hand remained in the throwing motion.

He took a few deep breaths, leaned back in his chair, and stretched out his hand.

The maid, understanding the implication, took out another wine glass and handed it to the other person, filling it to the brim.

Just as he was about to finish the red wine in front of him, a strange noise came from ahead.

Squeak—

The door made of ebony was slowly pushed open, and two girls, a robot, and a woman made of electricity walked in.

Gu Gongming frowned and waved to the maid beside him, "Go down first."

"yes."

The maid bowed respectfully, placed the red wine on the table beside her, and then gracefully departed.

Bang--

The door was closed, leaving only Gu Gongming and Qian Lan in the room.

"Speak, I want to see how you can persuade me now."

Gu Gongming took a sip of red wine and looked at the people in front of him with nonchalant indifference.

"Hey, what kind of attitude is that!"

Xiao Liu stood with his hands on his hips, looking very unhappy.

Gu Gongming simply scoffed.

"Alright, Xiao Liu, we're here mainly to have a proper talk."

Qian Lan quickly tried to smooth things over, then turned her gaze to Gu Gongming with some sincerity.

“Mr. Gu, I know you’re in a bad mood right now, and we don’t want to bother you unless absolutely necessary.”

"But... there's really no other way. Please join us so that our special extermination team can continue to be formed!"
