Chapter Twenty Beachside

  In Qin Zhong's line of sight, the whole room seemed to have nothing that could catch his attention. The quiet air seemed to be completely free from any distractions.

  It's strange, this ninja must have followed me here, only he couldn't find the Ice Palace. But since he was able to get this far, it proves that there is another shortcut in this place.

  "Hey kiddo, what did you see?" Old Mushroom whispered in Qin Zhong's ear.

  Qin Zhong suddenly turned his head, with a murderous gaze staring at the old mushroom: "Don't talk, the people in the house can also see ghosts, and he is much more formidable than me."

  "Huh? You're quite formidable too?" The old mushroom seemed to be provoking Qin Zhong.

  Qin Zhong turned around and slapped, wanting to severely hit the old mushroom, but when his palm wind reached in front of the old mushroom, the old mushroom suddenly disappeared into thin air.

  "Hey, old man, you're really shameless, get out of the way."

  Just as Qin Zhong was arguing with the old mushroom, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind him in the room, and the door to that room seemed to have been opened.

  When Qin Zhong looked inside again, a waiter slowly entered the room with a basin of water and began to change the sheets.

  Qin Zhong was surprised, this waiter's frequency of changing shifts is quite high, but where did he go?

  He was hesitant, but his hand lightly knocked on the window: "Sister, where are the people in the house?"

  He knocked like that, but the big sister who came into the house was frightened enough. She suddenly opened the window: "You little devil, you're looking for death here, scaring people."

  "Hey, you stinky old lady has quite a bad temper, believe it or not I'll punch your face." Qin Zhong said as he jumped in through the window and asked: "Sister, I don't have any other intentions, just want to ask about the people in this house?"

  That woman saw Qin Zhong's quick hands and lived here too, so she put down her guard: "You little brat, why should I tell you these things?"

  "For no reason, just so I won't have to hurt you." Qin Zhong said, turning around and deliberately flashing the two steel knives behind him in front of the woman.

  The woman took a deep breath and immediately turned into a obedient cat: "Uh, the people in this house, I don't know which one you're asking about."

  "Which one?" Qin Zhong asked in surprise, could it be that there were so many people living here?: "Isn't this the Japanese person's room?"

  "Right!"

  "Did many people come?"

  The waiter thought for a long time: "I didn't see so many people together when I came, but I saw that the people coming out of this house were sometimes bald, sometimes women, and after a while, who knows who it was!"

  Qin Zhong nodded and said: "Then none of the people here will be left?"

  "Everyone has checked out and left, where did these people come from?"

  "Ah!" Qin Zhong seemed to have understood what was going on. Ninjas, with their advanced skills, were masters of disguise, and their makeup abilities were incredibly strong. Ordinary people would hardly be able to recognize them after they had put on a disguise.

  Qin Zhong thought for a moment, then stood up to the window and looked out. The old mushroom wanted to come in, so Qin Zhong quickly closed the window and went downstairs.

  After Qin Zhong went downstairs, he stood at the door of the inn and looked into the distance with a frown. The appearance of that ninja really gave him a headache. He couldn't wait to catch this person immediately, first to prove his initial guess, and second to get rid of this person who was annoying him to death.

  Just as Qin Zhong was stunned, someone patted his shoulder from behind: "Brother Qin Zhong, why didn't you sleep and ran out?"

  "Oh, it's Yingzi, I couldn't sleep, something on my mind. Can you find your way back home in this godforsaken place?" Qin Zhong asked Yingzi.

  Yingzi stared blankly at Qin Zhong, shook her head woodenly: "Can't find it, but I'm not worried, anyway, with Brother Qin Zhong here, I'm not afraid!"

  "You see, you trust me so much, how can I not think more of it?"

  Yingzi thought for a moment, then pulled Qin Zhong's arm and shook it, saying: "Come on, let's not stay here in a daze. Let's go to the seaside and take a look. I've lost sleep over this."

  "Insomnia? Didn't you sleep just now?"

  "No, I lay down but couldn't sleep, came out to look for you and who knew where you'd gone, only to find you here now."

  Qin Zhong faced such enthusiasm, Yingzi stood in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He was willing to do things that were beautiful for adults, accompanying a girl to the seaside was also a kind of romantic thing, looking at the sea was also something Qin Zhong hadn't done in a long time.

  The old mushroom floated in mid-air, looking at Qin Zhong and Yingzi, the two of them seemed to be a young couple. He grinned from ear to ear and burst out laughing: "I said so, you two are quite a match, why don't I act as a matchmaker and bring your good fortune together?"

  Qin Zhong turned his head and spat a mouthful of yellow phlegm high towards the old mushroom: "Get out, I don't like you."

  "Ah, you like Yingzi girl then it's settled, besides..." Old Mushroom said up to here, suddenly that ghost face became incredibly ugly, eyes staring at a distance mouth corners twitching wildly: "No, no good, my nemesis has arrived."

  The old mushroom finished speaking and turned his head to drill into the hotel, disappearing without a trace.

  Qin Zhong didn't know what kind of thing this old mushroom was talking about as his nemesis, nor did he know what the so-called ghost's nemesis was.

  "Let Yingzi go, never mind him, let's go to the seaside for a stroll, his nemesis can hide from him."

  Qin Zhong walked ahead, Yingzi grasped Qin Zhong's arm, the two of them strolled along, slowly heading in the direction of the seaside.

  From the hotel to the seaside, it's just a kilometer away. The tide here is very big. As a person living in the mountains, Yingzi is indeed not adapted to this climate, especially when the sea breeze blows and the humid coolness makes his heart tremble, and he can't help but hold Qin Zhong's arm tighter.

  Qin Zhong turned his head to take a closer look at Yingzi's small face, and upon closer inspection, if this little girl were to dress up properly, she could be considered a beauty. If he were to put her in high heels, this girl might just become the goddess of all those otaku big brothers.

  But when they arrived at the seaside, Yingzi was as curious as a child, looking at Qin Zhong with a kind of innocent and pure eyes that made Qin Zhong unconsciously rise up a liking for Yingzi in his heart.

  Yingzi kept stirring the seawater, and the water surged back and forth in his palms. That kind of childlike joy was perhaps something that Qin Zhong, now mature, could no longer feel.

  As Yingzi's hands were stirring the icy sea water, a figure suddenly emerged from the ocean. This Yingzi slowly poked her head out of the water.

  Qin Zhong fixed his eyes to take a look, it was the back of a woman. Suddenly Qin Zhong felt something was not right about this strange and bizarre thing, which always seemed to be happening around him, that is to say, his fate was too light, actually it wasn't unreasonable either.

  "Yingzi, okay, let's play for a while and then leave. We shouldn't stay here for too long, the weather is too cold and the water is too chilly. Don't catch a chill, I won't be able to explain it to your grandfather." Qin Zhong didn't want to turn Yingzi's joy into fear.

  As he spoke, Qin Zhong didn't wait for Yingzi's consent and pulled her up, turning his head to leave.

  Before they had gone a few steps, three or five Russian soldiers in military uniforms rushed over from the other end of the sea.

  Qin Zhong felt something was off, he himself wasn't supposed to be here normally. This time these few people were really going to catch him and Yingzi, it would be lively. He pulled Yingzi's hand and ran quickly, until they reached behind a reef exposed on the beach.

  As they looked back at the soldiers, the soldiers dragged out the figure that had emerged from the water. Two men carried this person, with several soldiers behind them prodding him with their guns, and they left in the direction the soldiers had come from.

  Qin Zhong looked carefully and found that the figure who had just emerged from the water seemed to be a person wearing a diving suit. Could it be this person?

  Huh? A submarine-like object suddenly emerged from the bottom of the sea, and when Qin Zhong looked again, the submarine's tip suddenly sank back down. Before long, several soldiers on the coast fired a few shots at the submarine and retreated.

  "Don't move, put your hands on top of your heads."
