Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Chapter 378 Trap

Lin Gui once told Elvia that he was the only survivor of the Spark Revolution.

Strictly speaking, it's not really.

He did not find Sivir at that time.

As for whether she was dead or alive, Lin Gui was not sure.

And those traitors from Starfire, those sent to Dawn City for negotiations.

Subsequently, it was also purged by the nobility.

But a few survived.

Lin Gui found their bodies in the garbage dump, and the number did not match up.

The core members were not found, including Pips.

It is likely that the other party was recruited and participated in the subsequent purge of all those involved in the Spark Revolution.

Sivir's name has always been a secret of the Spark Revolution.

Outsiders call her Little Fox Girl.

However, her name was clearly written on the flyer.

It seems that Pips has also revealed Sivir's affairs to others.

Lin Gui held the flyer in his hand, a cold smile playing on his lips.

A poorly designed trap.

The ignition spell in his hand was activated instantly, and the flyer burned to ashes. The sparks flickered a few times in the darkness before disappearing without a trace.

Lin Gui glanced coldly, then turned and went upstairs.

The wooden staircase creaked softly underfoot, at a moderate pace, but clearly audible in the quiet night.

His face was expressionless, but the knuckles of his fingers gripping the armrest were slightly red.

After calming his agitated emotions, Lin Gui walked to the door of the bedroom on the second floor of the post office, put his hand on the handle, and then paused.

He lowered his head, his gaze falling on the edge of the door crack.

There was a very thin spider silk there, grayish-white in color, almost invisible in the dim light.

This is not magic; there are no magical fluctuations whatsoever. It is all triggered by physical means.

Even if a highly skilled expert comes, they won't be able to detect it unless they're deliberately staring through the crack in the door.

Experienced assassins, however, would notice.

After all, this is their original profession.

Lin Gui slowly squatted down, staring at the spider silk.

broken.

It didn't break naturally; it was broken by something.

Someone has been in his room.

It happened during the time he was downstairs receiving mail.

The sense of magic cannot penetrate the physical barrier, so Lin Gui has no idea what is happening inside his room.

He straightened up, his mind racing through the possibilities.

A thief trying to steal something?

There are indeed quite a few such characters in the slums of Baiya City.

But to be able to reach the second floor of the post office without being noticed by customers downstairs is not the work of an ordinary thief.

Or perhaps the Dalton family changed their minds and wanted to take matters into their own hands?

That knight commander Victor left decisively during the day; who knows if he'll come back at night with a different face?

Or is it some unknown force that is planning to deal with me?

Lin Gui's eyes turned cold as he recalled the flyer he had just received.

The dark veil instantly enveloped all her physical signs.

The Wind Whisperer's Scepter appeared in his palm, its azure blade gleaming faintly in the darkness.

He began to chant softly, the incantation of the Flame-Inflicting Spell flowing from his lips.

Seven magical rings instantly formed at the top of the scepter, layer upon layer, emitting a pale blue halo.

Seven flaming blades emerged from the ring, their translucent bodies coated in crimson, their flames flickering erratically.

Each shot is enough to incinerate any creature below the extraordinary level.

Lin Gui took two steps back, pointed his scepter at the doorway, and used his left hand to cast a levitation spell.

The door handle slowly turned automatically.

squeak--

The door opened.

Lin Gui didn't rush in; he first probed inside with his senses and then detected a fluctuation.

It is a higher-ranking position.

This strength surprised him for a moment.

He assumed the infiltrator was at least extraordinary, since he himself was a high-ranking individual.

If they want to hide and deal with me, they need to be able to overwhelm me in terms of strength or numbers.

The result showed only one higher-ranking superior.

Following its own senses, the scepter finally came into contact with its bed.

Just as he was about to send the other person to his death, moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the raised outline under the blanket.

And those few strands of long, golden hair scattered on the pillow.

And those familiar curves outlined by the quilt.

Lin Gui was stunned.

The magical rings dissipated layer by layer, the flaming blades turned into sparks that drifted in the air, and the scepter drooped down.

After carefully observing for a while under the moonlight, Lin Guiguai said strangely:

"Why is it this guy?"

He went into the room, came to the bedside, and lifted the covers.

Then he quickly covered it back up, a hint of unease flashing across his face.

I took a deep breath, stood by the bed, and stared at the exquisite face peeking out from under the covers.

Her golden eyelashes trembled slightly, her breathing was steady, and she was sleeping soundly.

A few soft snores came from her body.

Lin Gui reached out and slapped the other person across the face.

"Wake up."

no response.

Another slap, harder than the last.

"Elvia".

Still no response.

Lin Gui's lips twitched, and he reached out and pinched her nose.

Elvia's eyelashes fluttered, and she groggily opened her eyes.

Then she sat up abruptly.

The blanket slipped off, revealing a glimpse of spring.

Lin Gui instantly activated his levitation technique, forcefully covering her with the slipping blanket, completely concealing what she shouldn't see.

Elvia stared at him blankly, her eyes still somewhat bewildered.

After recognizing the person next to her, Elvia rolled her eyes at him, grabbed the blanket, and lay back down.

Lin Gui's face darkened.

With a wave of his hand, he simultaneously cast freezing and water-making spells, and a block of ice radiating cold air solidified in his palm.

He was about to stuff it inside the blanket.

Feeling the chill spreading, Elvia opened her eyes.

Upon seeing the ice blocks above, all sleepiness vanished instantly, and I immediately shouted to stop them:

"Wait! What do you want to do?"

Lin Gui said coldly, "Let me wake you up."

Elvia quickly waved her hand, "I'm awake! I'm perfectly awake!"

Seeing that Elvia was fully awake, Lin Gui looked at her and asked:

"Weren't you supposed to go to the City of a Thousand Towers with Monica and the others? What are you doing here?"
