Chapter 1399: Breaking Down The Door

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The knocking on the door interrupted Shen Xixi’s recollection. She got up and looked at the door cautiously through the peephole before pulling out the door pin.

Li Bai walked in from outside. He picked up the bottle of mineral water on the table and gulped down half of it. Then he said, “We’ve checked it out. That group of people is in the neighborhood across the street.”

“How many people are there?”Shen Xixi asked.

“This is a small club that has just appeared. There are less than twenty people in total, and most of them were dragged into it in a muddle. They shouldn’t have been affected much. The ones who have been affected more deeply are probably only three or five people.”

Shen Xixi sighed in relief. “Thank you for your hard work. Let’s get rid of this trouble. We won’t be leaving today. We’ll rest here for a night before we set off tomorrow.”

Li Bai seemed to be hesitant to speak.

However, Shen Xixi was thinking about what she should do next. She did not notice the expression on Li Bai’s face. Then, she took out an earpiece from her pocket and put it on.

Rabbit’s voice came from the other end of the earpiece. “Where are you guys now?”

“We’re about to set off. We’ll be there in about ten minutes,”Shen Xixi said after looking at the watch on her wrist.

“Okay, don’t worry. They’re still setting up the venue. It looks like they’re not here yet. They won’t be able to organize anything in ten minutes.”Rabbit licked its lips and pressed the flush button on the toilet.

However, after hearing her words, Shen Xixi quickened her pace and left the hotel with Li Bai, carrying a suitcase.

Then, the two of them found a public toilet by the side of the road and went in with the suitcase. When they came out two minutes later, they were already two police officers.

They had police hats, uniforms, law enforcement recorders, and even police identification cards. In other words, as long as they did not go to the police system to check, it was almost impossible for them to be seen through.

After changing, Shen Xixi and Li Bai rushed to the target community without stopping. With the police uniforms on them, the security guards did not stop them. They even took the initiative to ask if they needed help.

Shen Xixi asked him to open the door of building one. Then, they took the elevator to the 11th floor. They did not even need to knock on the door, because the door of room 1104 was wide open.

There was a strange-looking ornament hanging on the door. For some reason, the security guard felt a chill in his heart when he saw the ornament. He felt uncomfortable, but it was difficult for him to look away, he was about to take a closer look when the female police officer suddenly stepped forward and blocked his way. At the same time, she pulled the ornament down and put it into a document bag.

Then, she did not stop and walked straight in.

There were already seven people in the living room. Five of them were on the sofa, and two of them were standing in front of the window, smoking and talking about something.

Seeing Shen Xixi and Li Bai come in from the outside, everyone in the room, except for Rabbit, who pretended to be attracted to join the club, was stunned.

Shen Xixi turned on the law enforcement recorder and then took out her police officer badge. “Police officer, who is the owner of this place?”

The people in the room looked at each other, and then a man who was smoking by the window coughed dryly and said, “This house belongs to Uncle He. He is in the back room. Do you want me to call him?”

“No need. I’ll go by myself,”Shen Xixi said. Then, she gave Li Bai a look and asked him to stay here to look after the people in the living room while she continued to walk inside.

This was a three-bedroom house with a living room. In addition to the living room, there were three other rooms. There was a bathroom and a kitchen. The kitchen could be seen from the living room. There was no one inside. The bathroom was on Shen Xixi’s left, the door was closed, as if someone was using the toilet.

In the study room, the door was open, but there was no one there either. After that, there were only two rooms, the master bedroom and the second bedroom. Shen Xixi pushed open the door of the second bedroom first and found that it was a children’s room, there was a child about eleven or twelve years old inside. He must have just come home from school and was lying on the table doing his homework.

Shen Xixi saw the little boy turn his head and tried to force a smile on his face. “It’s okay, you can continue studying.”With that, he exited the second bedroom, closed the door, and reached out to push the door of the master bedroom next door, but this time, he did not push it open.

Shen Xixi knocked on the door. After about three seconds, a voice came from inside. “Wait a minute, the activity still needs to be prepared before it can begin.”

However, Shen Xixi continued to knock on the door as if she had not heard anything.

After a few seconds, the master bedroom door was finally opened. However, it was only opened at a very small angle. The person inside stuck his head out and saw Shen Xixi.

It was a man with a shapely build. He had very deep dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he had not been sleeping well. When he saw Shen Xixi, a hint of panic flashed across his eyes. However, he quickly calmed down, however, the change in his eyes could not escape Shen Xixi’s eyes.

“Officer, what’s the matter?”The man asked.

“We’ve received a report that someone has formed an illegal association here. Come with us.”

“An Illegal Association?”? “No, no, no. We’re not doing that kind of thing. It’s just a small gathering between friends, and it doesn’t involve any cash or belongings. I bought the drinks and food at the gathering with my own money,”the man hurriedly explained.

However, the female police officer in front of him was unmoved. She only said two words indifferently, “Open the door.”

“We… now is not a good time,”the man stammered.

However, in the next moment, Shen Xixi had already kicked the door open. Not only was the door kicked open, but the man behind the door was also pushed aside by the force and fell to the ground.

He looked a little confused. He probably did not expect to meet such a rough police officer. Under such circumstances, shouldn’t they have warned him first? They would only choose to break down the door after a few times.

However, the female police officer in front of him directly jumped to the last step. In the room, other than the man lying on the door, there were two other people. One of them seemed to be his wife, the other one, who was slightly older, might be his uncle.

They were busy creating an extremely strange and abstract mural on the wall. The mural depicted a guy with an octopus head wreaking havoc in the human world. Just like before, Shen Xixi wanted to move her eyes away with just one look, however, in the next moment, she felt her gaze being attracted by something. The thing on the mural seemed to come to life, and tentacles stretched out from the wall!

Shen Xixi felt a strong sense of dizziness in her head. Her body swayed, and before she could make the next move, she actually fell to the ground, the last image in her mind was the woman among the three opposite her. She frantically pulled out a fruit knife from under the bed.
