Returning from the abyss

Chapter 791

Lu Ning killed a Liao Hongli, which actually relieved their heavy workload.But even with this credit, it is still impossible for her to continue to participate in the following tracking tasks as an untrained ordinary person, and Emmy will not give in on this point.

But there are other things to do next. The end of the month is approaching, and Lu Ning is also preparing to go to the Hongmei Museum in Jinpingshan. She also needs a longer vacation-in fact, the current studies are already for her. It doesn't make sense anymore.

This is also the reward she asked Emmy for.

"Jingpingshan Hongmei Pavilion? A gathering of superpowers?"

Lu Ning didn't hide anything, and directly told Emmy that she was going to attend this rally, but Emmy didn't seem to know about it at all.

"It is true that there are a lot of folk superpowers who occasionally hold gatherings and the like. We do not prohibit healthy exchanges between superpowers, as long as they don't cause too much trouble to ordinary people." Ji Changting said.

"Did you know this?" Emmy asked her.

"I don't know, generally this kind of gathering of ability users will not send invitations to official people like us, otherwise it will be less fun. As long as they don't do illegal and criminal things, we usually turn a blind eye. But As far as I know, it seems that there are very few gatherings held in places like Hongmei Pavilion, which are expensive at first glance, and even among superpowers, there is a certain gap between rich and poor."

This gap does not refer to wealth, but the strength of ability.

"Since I got such an opportunity, I want to go and have a look, I don't know..." Lu Ning asked tentatively.

"It's fine if you want to go, but you still have to pay attention to safety. Even if there are various laws and regulations, superpowers themselves are still walking weapons. It's an unwritten rule not to anger strange superpowers. If If there is a problem, call us directly, it is our responsibility to deal with it." Ji Changting said.

The Red Plum Pavilion in Jinping Mountain, now covered by snow, there are many red buds that are ready to bloom. The plum blossoms are still ready to bloom under such severe cold weather. After getting off at the foot of the mountain, Lu Ning took the cable car to Hongmei. Meiguan, thinking in his heart that this is really a very suitable place for "Blizzard Villa" type cases to take place.

Due to the steepness of the mountain, there is only one road leading to the Hongmei Pavilion from the bottom of the mountain, and the rest is the cableway.But now that path has become very dangerous because of the snow, and the person in charge at the foot of the mountain has suggested to take the cable car when going in and out.

However, Lu Ning held the invitation card and the contents inside without hindrance.The cable car ran for about 5 minutes and sent her to the opposite mountain, near the Hongmei Pavilion.

This is a huge mansion, the same as what Lu Ning saw on the Internet, but only the exterior can be obtained online. As a private mansion, it is not allowed and impossible for outsiders to take pictures of the interior.Lu Ning walked into the opened gate, and there were two maids in the mansion who were sorting the plum blossoms in the yard. Both of the maids were wearing a small black suit with a plum blossom pattern on the neckline.

Today is December 26th, Lu Ning came early.

"Hello."

She stood in the distance and said hello. The two maids turned their heads and immediately put their hands on their chests and bowed to Lu Ning: "Welcome, guests from afar."

"Uh... I'm here for an appointment, about the dance."

"Of course, only those who have received the invitation letter may be allowed to come, but just to be on the safe side, can you let me check your invitation letter again?" A maid said respectfully.

"No problem." Lu Ning took out the envelope and handed it to the other party.The maid took it out and checked it, then handed it back to Lu Ning with both hands: "Thank you, Miss Lu Ning, you are an early guest, so there are many rooms for you to choose from, but once we decide on your room, we will not give you a room. It will be changed for you, please be careful. Please follow me."

"Excuse me, are you..."

"My name is Qu Langyue, and the invitation letter I sent to you before is my job." The maid smiled, "There are seven people in charge of serving, handyman, and daily maintenance here, and I will introduce you. During your stay here, if you have any orders, you can give any one of us."

Lu Ning glanced at the maid next to her.

"This is Ye Yunmei, who is mainly responsible for gardening, bedroom cleaning and some assistant cooking in the kitchen, while I am mainly responsible for your food and daily life, the hygiene of public places, and responding to your requests at any time." Qu Langyue said.

Ye Yunmei bowed slightly to salute, but said nothing.

"Then let's go in, by the way, are there any other guests arriving now?" Lu Ning asked.

"Yes, before you, a total of four guests arrived. This time, the host invited a total of twenty guests to the ball, but I don't think everyone will respond." Qu Langyue walked into the ocean while talking. In the hall, first went to the servant's room on the first floor and took out a bunch of keys, and at the same time a third servant came out of it, this time it was a male servant.

"This is Tian Xiao. In addition to the general servant work, he will be responsible for all the maintenance of electricity, mechanical tools, and electronic equipment in the mansion. If Miss Lu Ning finds any related faults in the room, Please tell him."

Tian Xiao smiled and bowed to Lu Ning to salute. He was tall and well-shaped, and he was also impeccable in terms of appearance and etiquette.

Then Qu Langyue took Lu Ning upstairs.

"All guest rooms are on the second floor, and the area on the third floor is the bedroom used by the owner's family. However, because the owner only rents this place, there is no difference in this respect, so the five rooms on the third floor except the master bedroom can also be used by the owner. Guests can choose at will.”

"How many rooms are there on the second floor?"

"Sixteen rooms." The speaking room has reached the second floor, Qu Langyue pointed to the left and right, "The layout of each room in Hongmei Pavilion is different, so you can choose the one you prefer more ……Oh."

At this time, the door of a guest room was opened, and a man aged about 50 to [-] years old exited the room, bowed to the room, and then gently closed the door.

"Director Feng." Qu Langyue bowed to the man, and then introduced to the man, "This is the new Ms. Lu Ning, and I am leading her to choose the room she likes."

The man walked over, although he had a good appearance, but the clothes on his body were the same as Qu Langyue and others' style, and it seemed that he was also one of the servants here.

"Hello Miss Lu Ning, I am Feng Yuanxi, the manager here, in charge of all affairs. If any servant's service behavior makes you feel dissatisfied, please let me know, and I will punish you according to regulations." Feng Yuanxi said seriously.

"Hello, Manager Feng. But I don't know who the owner is here. Has he come yet?" Lu Ning asked.

"The master will arrive before the ball. As a servant, the master has not notified us, and we have no way of knowing the master's itinerary. I hope you don't think the master is neglecting. We guarantee that all the reception here will treat all guests with the highest standards."

"……it is good."

Feng Yuanxi gestured to Qu Langyue, and Qu Langyue led Lu Ning to the guest room and began to choose a house.

The sixteen guest rooms are arranged according to the four seasons and subdivided by moon phases.Shuo, Xian, Wang, and Hui are also named according to different guest rooms to prepare different decoration styles.Lu Ning noticed that the room that Feng Yuanxi was serving just now was Xia Mochiyue.

I don't know what kind of people live there.

Qu Langyue didn't introduce the rooms in too much detail, but just opened the doors of the unoccupied rooms one by one for Lu Ning to check and choose.The decoration of the rooms is different, but the quality should be guaranteed to be consistent. Lu Ning only chose a house that fits the eye, and finally settled on the one in Dong-Huiyue. From the ranking, you can tell that this is a house. This room is close to the edge of the Western-style building. Compared with other rooms, there is one more window. The furnishings inside are also in a cool and quiet layout, and the area looks a bit larger compared to other rooms.After Lu Ning selected, Qu Langyue took the key from the keychain and handed it to Lu Ning.

The key had a snowflake pattern on it, and a black disc dangled from the short chain.

"This is your room key, please keep it safe. During your stay, only your own key, and the master key held by Director Feng and Ye Yunmei can open the door, so you can rest assured about the security. If the key is lost, Please notify us immediately."

"Got it, thank you."

"In addition to the four servants you have seen, there is also Mr. Wei Haonan, the chef, in this mansion. Generally, his work area is the kitchen. You will not see him if there are no food-related problems. Mr. Jiang Ai, the gardener In the flower room, if you are interested in going there to enjoy the flowers, he should receive you. Finally, there is Ms. Jin Xiuqing, who will assist everyone in their work. You may meet her in the next time. She is our senior. .”

"understood."

"If necessary, please ring the bell on the bedside table, we will come as soon as possible." Qu Langyue bowed and exited the room, and closed the door.

Lu Ning activated [Requiem] to check the room, and then sat down at the table.She didn't go to the third floor, and all she could see was the situation on the second floor.However, Qu Langyue said that only four guests came before her, and before that, Qu Langyue had three doors that were not opened, namely Chun-Xianyue, Chun-Wangyue, and Xia-Wangyue. There are people in this room.If it is considered that each guest lives in one room, then there is one person who should have chosen a room on the third floor.

In addition, since Qu Langyue said that she was the chief writer of the entire invitation letter, she must also know about superpowers, and she might even be a superpower herself.Would a psychic take on the position of someone else's servant unless the psychics were too weak?
She went to the window and took a look outside.

Except for the line from the cable car to the entrance of Hongmei Pavilion, there is a mountain behind and steep mountain roads on both sides. It should be the way to come up the mountain path before, but it is almost blocked now.However, for superpowers, such "danger" is not an absolute danger, and she can easily escape along the path, even without walking.

Finally, inside the room.

No special breath was observed.It should have been tidied up not long ago, and there was a slightly damp smell and a faint fragrance in the air, which matched the fragrance of Ye Yunmei I saw in the garden ahead.The four servants she has seen here all have different kinds of fragrances, which seem to be specially arranged, but the smell is very light, so that it will not affect people's senses.

Lu Ning put down her luggage, took out some clothes and put them in the closet, then took a deep breath.

The cold outside did not alter the warmth inside.Although the decoration is in the style of the last century, in fact the house should use floor heating, because she didn't see any external heating equipment.

"Is this the general situation..." Lu Ning muttered, walked around the wall, tapped her fingers on the wall lightly, and checked.There is no such thing as a secret passage, just ordinary walls.According to the distance between the walls when I opened the door to look at the room before, the wall in front of the adjacent room cannot accommodate any hidden rooms or hidden passages.The second floor is probably like this.

After observing, Lu Ning walked out of the room, and she could see a fat man standing in front of the window at the end of the corridor in Chunxia's room on the other side, holding a pipe in his hand and puffing. .

Lu Ning approached, and that person also turned his head.His clothes were a fleece sweater, which looked a little tight and old on him, and his trousers were a pair of baggy trousers with badly frayed trousers and the edges of the pockets on both sides.It seems that this person should not belong to the very rich category.

"Hello." Lu Ning greeted first.The man put the cigarette butt closer to the window and nodded slightly: "Hello, ma'am."

"This title is not very common."

"It's just a personal habit. If there is a name that is more in line with your intention, I will be happy. My name is Michael. It's a pleasure to meet you here."

"Are you a foreigner?" Lu Ning pretended to be surprised.

"Yes, I am of mixed race. I grew up abroad and have only returned here in the past two years. But my nationality is still here. You see, there is no problem with our communication." Michael said.

"So, Mr. Michael was also invited to the dance?" Lu Ning asked.

"Yes, I think people like us should actively participate in such social activities, whether it is good for our own growth or for the stability of this circle." Michael said with a smile, "At least in Europe I had that experience growing up."

"Then can I take the liberty to ask what is the ability of sir?" Lu Ning asked.

Michael flicked his fingers with a smile: "Generally speaking, superpowers are their own secrets, but I'm still happy to show my abilities to others."

Following his movement, Lu Ning saw some fluff and dust bouncing up from the carpet on the ground. No matter how clean it was, these small things would always grow rapidly, and it was obvious that it had been a long time since the last cleaning.These things quickly formed a line on the carpet, from Lu Ning's feet to the door of her own room.

"It's just such a trivial trick to find the connection between things. It's very useful to find some lost cats and dogs. Ma'am, I don't know if I can have the honor to know your ability?" Michael asked with a smile.
