Chapter 41 Birthday Party from Hell
Elizabeth left for half an hour and changed into a pink gauze dress, which was layered and colorful. On her chest was a flower brooch made of roses and lisianthus, and around her neck was an exquisite and large diamond necklace. On her long golden hair was a princess crown, in the middle of which was a pink diamond as big as a quail egg, which shone brightly under the light. She walked down the stairs slowly with Paulino on her arm. Paulino was wearing a white suit and a pink tie that matched his daughter's gauze dress. Paulino was not particularly old, but he was in his 50s. Disease and old injuries made it difficult for him to move. It was obvious that his steps were very slow and his feet were a little lame.
The bodyguards stood on the stairs and under the stage. Because there were many flowers in front of the stage, the guests were some distance away from the stage, so the bodyguards did not need to get close to Paulino. The guests were discussing the huge pink diamond crown, wondering if it was the birthday gift that Paulino gave to his daughter, and how much it would cost.
Gin was not interested in these. He quickly judged whether Paulino had any firearms and the level of the bodyguards beside him. If he rushed up now, how likely would he be to kill him? While Gin was still thinking about how to kill him, He Jing Yasheng turned to Gin with a complicated expression and said, "Does the organization need Paulino to disappear as well?"
Hmm? Gin looked at him in confusion. What a strange question. "Yes."
"Then do you have a way to turn off the lights in the venue right now?" He Jing Yayoi frowned. The other party's soul was about to leave his body.
Gin glanced at Kazukage Yayoi in surprise, but knowing that time was running out, he didn't ask why, "How fast do you need it?"
He Jing Yayoi glanced at Paulino on the stage, then at his phone, "I need the lights to be turned off at 9:46:36, you can just turn them off for one second." He knew that the security here was tight, and it would be difficult to ask Gin to turn off the lights for a few minutes. As far as he could see from the intrusion surveillance, the hotel had two backup generators, located in the basements on the left and right sides of the main building. The main power room was on the first floor of the main building, with three lines of defense. One was that there were patrolling security guards on the periphery, the second was that the door of the power room had an electronic lock, and the third was that there was an infrared scanner inside the power room. It was undoubtedly a pipe dream for Gin to get in without any assistance. It was a pipe dream to want to turn off the lights for a long time by directly destroying the power system.
"Okay, monitor..."
"I'll take care of it."
Seeing that Kazukage Yayoi agreed, Gin did not question or hesitate. While everyone's attention was on cutting the cake, he chose to climb out directly from the terrace on the third floor. There were less than ten minutes left, and he had to find a solution as soon as possible. Fortunately, Gin, who liked to make all preparations before leaving, knew the structure of this manor yesterday and also buried some small props. Although he couldn't destroy the power system, it was only to turn off the lights for a second, so there was no need to go through so much trouble. He could just turn off the power.
Gin couldn't hide his conspicuous white hair, so he simply took a black umbrella from the front desk, and then took out the pistol and C4 (plastic explosive) that he had hidden in the corner yesterday and took them with him.
"Hey, you..." Before the security guard who noticed the abnormality could finish his words, Gin threw out the black umbrella, took advantage of the security guard's attention being diverted, and stood behind the security guard to twist his blood with his arms. As the large arteries on both sides of the neck were strongly compressed, the brain lost blood severely, and the poor security guard instantly lost consciousness and function. Gin exerted force and broke the security guard's atlantoaxial joint. As the cervical vertebrae broke, the security guard soon lost his breathing and heartbeat.
Gin glanced at the time and saw there were still six minutes left.
After dragging the body of the security guard into the bushes, Gin approached the switch room quietly but quickly. There were two mercenaries holding rifles and wearing bulletproof vests and a man in waiter uniform talking at the door. However, they spoke the local Mexican language, and Gin did not understand what they were saying. Gin estimated the time and threw the C4 close to the ground.
"Bang!!!"
A huge explosion was heard, and choking black smoke rose up. The three people at the door were blown away nearly ten meters. The big iron door of the switch room was also blown open, and the distribution box and switch box near the door were blown into charcoal, crackling and flashing sparks. Gin took a deep breath and held it, then went in and quickly pointed his pistol at all the boxes to empty the magazines.
The position of He Jing Yayoi was far from the stage, and he could only roughly see the figure in front of him, but he couldn't hear what he was saying. After cutting the cake, Paulino got some cream on his hand, so he ate it. Seeing this, Elizabeth covered her mouth and kept laughing.
Several sons also came forward to give Elizabeth gifts. Fourier gave a small pistol, Barr gave an antique mirror, and Waldman gave an oil painting.
Paulino seemed to say something to Elizabeth, and Elizabeth hugged Paulino and acted like a spoiled child. Paulino's legs were not good, so he took two steps back and put one hand on the flower decoration next to him. It seemed that the thorns on the roses pricked Paulino's hand. Elizabeth held her father's hand, frowned and said something, took out a handkerchief and pressed it on Paulino's hand. Then, Elizabeth walked down from the stage angrily, pointing at the two men and scolding them. The other party was probably responsible for the decoration of the scene, and kept bowing and apologizing.
He Jing Yayoi waited quietly for Gin to turn off the lights, when they heard a slight bang outside. Everyone sensed something was wrong and looked outside.
Then the lights in the hall went out precisely at 9:46:36. The nobles, lords and ladies, as well as the chaebols and mafia leaders present were in chaos. The banquet hall was filled with screams and curses, as well as shouts of people trying to maintain order. In fact, under the moonlight, the banquet hall was not completely dark, but the sudden loss of light would affect human vision and there was no way to restore vision immediately. Kazukage Yayoi's body had been strengthened by the divine blood, so of course it would not be affected like ordinary people.
He naturally saw the strange reactions of the crowd. Elizabeth, who was standing at the arch, was panicked and shocked at first, but then she seemed to react and her expression became calm and sad. The expressions of the third son Fourier, who was standing on the left side of the flower wall, and the eighth son Barr, who was standing on the right side, were not very normal. One of them frowned and looked around, while the other had a strange excitement in his eyes and a smile on his mouth that he had no intention of hiding. As for Waldman just now, he squatted down in fear, holding his head and whispering.
Suddenly, accompanied by the sudden sound of music, a brilliant firework burst out from the stage, winding along the roof like the Milky Way. The crystal lamp on the roof reflected the brilliant fireworks, and the whole banquet hall was as beautiful as a dream.
As the fireworks gradually spread and filled the entire banquet hall, starlight poured down from the sky, and the sparks stuck to the body, but there was no temperature, as if everything in front of me was like a dream. The fireworks gradually wrote on the wall: "Happy birthday to my pearl, Elizabeth"
Kazukage Yayoi was stunned. This was really beautiful. It just felt like Gin had worked in vain. This was obviously a blessing segment that Paulino had carefully designed.
"Bang!"
“Wow!”
Just as everyone was immersed in the beautiful scenery, with a loud bang and the sound of clattering glass, everyone suddenly realized that something was wrong and became noisy again. Soon the light in the hall was restored.
"Mr. Francisco!" The bodyguards were horrified to find that the huge crystal chandelier had fallen on the stage, and the broken pieces were splattered all over the stage, with a strange bright red luster. Paulino's head was blown into a pool of red, white and yellow flesh, and the blood quickly flowed along his snow-white suit, soon dyeing the suit pink, the same pink as Elizabeth's skirt.
“Father! Ah!!!”
Elizabeth screamed, her face turned pale, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
"Miss!"
Two of the bodyguards carried Elizabeth to a chair and sat her down. The guests at the scene all looked over because of Elizabeth's scream and saw the horrible corpse. The scene instantly became a mess, especially the nobles who had never seen a corpse before, and they wanted to run away in panic.
"Ouch~" Bal whistled, crossed his arms and said, "Things are getting troublesome~"
Marquis Theresa beside him leaned forward nervously and whispered, "Your Highness, be careful with your words."
Barr shrugged, while Fourier on the opposite side sighed and frowned, and quickly stepped forward to ask the butler who was examining the body: "Uncle Andrew, how is the situation?"
The old man dressed as a butler shook his head slowly: "Seal off the venue first and send someone to investigate the explosion just now."
It was at this time that Gin turned over. As soon as he came back, he saw the corpse in front of the stage. His face darkened and he asked in a low voice: "What happened?" After all, there were only ten seconds, and it was already very good that He Jing Yayoi could kill the other party. Gin did not intend to blame anyone particularly.
"Something interesting happened. I didn't kill this man." He Jing Yasheng took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth as he spoke. "It seems that it's not just us who want to kill Paulino. Many of the people he trusted also want to kill him."
Gin looked at the scene and saw that except for Elizabeth, who looked pale, no one else was panicking. Even Andrew, Paulino's most trusted butler and deputy, did not show any sadness.
"Are you sure it's Paulino who died?" Gin frowned. From just now, he felt that the words used by Jing Yayoi were very strange.
"Huh? Why do you say that?" Yayoi Kazukage, who was watching the show, suddenly found that Gin attracted the firepower to him, and felt a little puzzled.
"You said before, 'Do you want this Paulino to disappear as well?' It sounds like there are many Paulinos." Gin noticed Kazukage Yayoi's strange expression at the time, but the situation was urgent, so he didn't ask. But now that Paulino is dead, Gin has time to ask this question.
"Well, this is a fake, a stand-in. It seems that everyone knows it except Elizabeth." He Jing Yayoi shrugged. He found out from the other person's soul that the other person was not Paulino. But since Gin said he would deal with it, he wanted to deal with it until he noticed the strange reactions of the people present.
In this matter, it seemed like he could just watch the show from the sidelines and still achieve his goal, so why not do it?
"Father..." Elizabeth woke up slowly. She stood up shakily and tried to see Paulino's body, but she tripped over the stairs and fell to the ground.
"S..." Elizabeth covered her knees in pain. She looked down and found a piece of paper stuck on the flower on her chest. On it was written in blood:
"Revenge from Hell"
