Personality V: I will save everything

For those who are already engaged in shady transactions, when they notice someone appearing, their instinctive reaction is undoubtedly to flee the scene quickly.

After all, once this shady activity is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, the development of things was beyond their expectations.

Just as they were about to turn around and run, a figure suddenly descended from the ceiling like a ghost.

When I looked closely, it was actually Valletta! Her appearance was like a flash of lightning, catching everyone off guard.

Violetta's movements were swift and precise. She leaped lightly in the air and instantly spit out a ball of spider silk. The spider silk seemed to have life and quickly entangled Mrs. Hayes, binding her tightly.

"That's right, three of us. One for each of us~" Valletta's voice echoed in the air, revealing a sense of joking. Obviously, she was well prepared for this sudden situation and had already made preparations to deal with it.

Naturally, she said this to Antonio and Miles.

When the innkeeper, Mr. Hayes, heard the noise outside, an idea flashed through his mind instantly—run out! He didn't have time to think about it, and rushed straight to the door like a gust of wind.

However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. Just as Mr. Hayes was about to rush out of the door, a tall figure appeared in front of him like a ghost. This figure was Miles, who had been waiting at the door for Mr. Hayes to fall into his trap.

In a flash, Miles stretched out his arms and grabbed Mr. Hayes' shoulders tightly like a pair of iron pliers. Then, he took advantage of the situation and threw Mr. Hayes to the ground with a beautiful shoulder throw.

The fall was quite severe. Mr. Hayes felt stars in front of his eyes and his body seemed to be falling apart. He completely lost the ability to resist.

Unlike Mr. Hayes, Wilder's situation was much more complicated. When he heard the noise outside, his first reaction was not to run away, but to take a hostage. The hostage he chose was Salter, who was in the hotel with him.

Wilder secretly thought that as long as he had Salter in his hands, he would have an extra bargaining chip. So he rushed towards Salter without hesitation, trying to control him.

However, just when Wilder was about to succeed, an accident happened. Antonio was guarding the stable. When he saw what Wilder was doing, he immediately reacted, quickly took out a violin from his pocket, and then played a series of rapid notes with the bow.

These notes flew straight towards Wilder like lightning. Just as they were about to hit Wilder, a loud voice suddenly rang out: "Don't kill anyone!!!"

The voice came from Holmes, who obviously didn't want to see anyone die in this chaos.

It was precisely because of Holmes' sudden shout that Antonio's attack instantly lost its target. The note that was supposed to hit Wilt flew straight to the wall next to it like a wild horse.

There was a loud "bang" and the note hit the wall hard, making a piercing noise, as if the whole room was shaking.

However, this unexpected change gave Wilder a great opportunity - he took this opportunity to quickly open the passage to the secret room and rushed in like a flash of lightning.

The moment Wilder rushed into the secret room, his hand grabbed Salter accurately like an eagle's claw.

Holmes got up from the ground in a panic, while making sure that Antonio's attack had not hit anyone. However, before he could catch his breath, Antonio's angry voice came from behind him: "Are you sick?! Isn't it better to kill such a person?!"

Antonio was very angry about Holmes's behavior. He felt that Holmes had no need to save a man as evil as Wilder. Wouldn't it be more straightforward to get rid of him?

Because of Holmes's move, Antonio's unexpected attack missed. Wilt took advantage of this opportunity, quickly got into the secret room, and closed the door tightly.

This made Antonio very anxious. While he was cursing and complaining about Wilt's cunning, he was anxious to find a way to stop the door from closing and catch the nasty guy.

However, because he was in such a hurry, Antonio was careless and almost bumped into the door of the secret room.

"are you crazy?!"

Because the other party ran away, Antonio became even more furious. The police officers who were also surrounding him outside did not even dare to approach Antonio. He had now completely turned back into his devilish appearance. The flames blazing on his body became hotter than ever, perhaps because he was angry.

"Calm down, Antonio. It's already happened. Getting angry won't help."

Miles looked at the emotional Antonio and sighed in his heart. He knew very well that Antonio was already blinded by anger at the moment, but since things had already happened, he still had to find a way to solve the problem. Entering the secret room was the top priority.

However, Antonio simply didn't listen to Miles' advice. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of anger, like an enraged lion.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, grasped Mr. Hayes' collar tightly like an iron clamp, and roared at him: "Where the hell is the entrance to the cellar?!!!"

Mr. Hayes was frightened by Antonio's sudden action and his face turned pale. He stared at Antonio with wide eyes in horror, completely unable to answer his questions.

Antonio looked like Satan from hell at this moment. His roar echoed in the air, making people shudder.

Not only that, Antonio's emotions were out of control to the extreme. His body was shaking with anger and he looked extremely terrifying.

Mr. Hayes was so frightened that he fainted when he was pulled over by him, and so was Mrs. Hayes. Both of them fell limply to the ground, unconscious.

.................................................. ........................

Violetta looked at Antonio helplessly and sighed in her heart: "Why is this guy so impulsive?"

She couldn't help but shake her head and advised earnestly: "I told you to calm down!"

However, Antonio did not seem to take Violetta's words to heart, and he still looked a little anxious.

Seeing this, Violetta decided not to say anything more and take action to solve the problem.

She lifted her skirt lightly, revealing her slender calves, and then stomped hard on the stable floor. With this stomp, the floor made a "dong dong" sound, and the echo reverberated in the air.

Valletta listened carefully to the echo, and through the propagation and reflection of sound, she gradually determined a location.

Antonio finally understood Violetta's intention, and it dawned on him: "Yes, why should we go through so much trouble to find the exit?" Since the passage to the secret room is under the cellar, couldn't we just break the cellar floor?

Violetta signaled to the people around her to move away to avoid being affected. Antonio did not hesitate to stick his bow into the floor and then pulled it with all his strength.

There was a loud "boom", and it seemed as if the whole stable was shaking.

Antonio's action directly broke through the floor of the stable, revealing a pitch-black hole.

Everyone looked at the hole in amazement, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "It turns out to be so simple!"

In this way, the passage to the secret room appeared before them and the problem was solved.

.................................................. ........................

"This passage is really bottomless!"

Holmes couldn't help but sigh. Even his eyes, which had seen countless crime scenes, were amazed at the depth of this passage.

The passage looked to be at least 400 feet deep.

However, his sentiments were not echoed by his companion Antonio.

On the contrary, Antonio was still upset about what had just happened. He said to Holmes unhappily, "Shut up, Holmes! If it weren't for you, how could we have fallen to this point and run to this damn place!"

The entire passage was filled with a damp and stuffy atmosphere, making people feel as if they were in a steamer.

Not only that, the walls of the passage were covered with mold, which emitted a foul odor in the darkness.

What's worse, condensed water dripped down from the top of the passage and hit them, making them feel very uncomfortable.

How do they see their surroundings clearly in such a harsh environment?

It turns out that all this is thanks to Antonio, the "mobile light source".

Antonio himself is a fire demon, and flames appear from his body even in his normal state.

This made him a natural torch, lighting their way through the dark passage.

However, for Antonio, being the source of light is not a pleasant thing, and he obviously complains about it.

It should be noted that, apart from the famous Sherlock Holmes, the only people who entered the secret passage to carry out the rescue mission were Antonio, Violetta and Miles.

As for the other police officers, they were determined not to step into the secret passage no matter what.

This is actually not difficult to understand. After all, who would be willing to stay in such a narrow and cramped passage with the devil?

If that demon suddenly attacks and kills people, I might not even be able to find a place to escape!

.................................................. ........................

"Shut your mouth!"

At this moment, Miles suddenly seemed to have heard some important voice. His face changed and he quickly raised his hand to signal everyone around him to shut up.

Surprisingly, everyone reacted to his action extremely quickly, as if they had all pressed the pause button at the same time, and the whole scene instantly became silent.

Even Antonio, who was about to take a step forward, stopped abruptly in mid-air, his body remaining in a forward-leaning position, as if time had frozen at this moment.

Although the sound was very faint, it was extremely clear in the dead silence - it was a child's cry for help!

"It's right in front! Go quickly!" Miles shouted excitedly. His voice echoed in the silence, as if injecting a shot of adrenaline into everyone.

Hearing the news, everyone was extremely excited, but also extremely anxious. They rushed forward impatiently, fearing that they would miss the best opportunity for rescue if they were a step late.

However, because everyone was in a hurry, Antonio did not pay attention to the road conditions ahead while running.

Suddenly, his head seemed to be hit hard by something, and a sharp pain came over him, causing him to scream: "Ah!!!"

Antonio covered his head in pain and his body squatted on the ground uncontrollably.

"Antonio!" Violetta suddenly screamed, her voice full of anxiety and worry. She was already inconvenient to move because of her long skirt, and now she was even more anxious. She hurriedly quickened her pace and ran towards Antonio.

At the same time, Holmes and Miles, who were running in front, also heard Violetta's shout. They stopped at the same time, turned around suddenly, and fixed their eyes on Antonio.

Antonio was lying on the ground in a mess, seemingly accidentally hitting a rock. Valletta rushed to him anxiously and asked with concern: "Antonio, are you okay?"

Antonio endured the pain and shook his head to indicate that he was fine. He quickly got up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and continued to chase forward.

Seeing this, Miles quickly shouted, "Hold on a little longer, Antonio is right ahead!" His voice revealed encouragement and support, as if giving Antonio an invisible force.

In fact, Antonio himself knew very well that he was just a little hurt and was not seriously injured.

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, quickened his pace, and continued to run forward.

.................................................. ........................

Finally, the darkness ahead seemed to begin to dissipate gradually, and even a faint light began to show through.

However, just as the dawn of hope began to appear, Holmes felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

He listened carefully, and the sound was particularly clear in the darkness - it was the sound of a powerful wind, whistling, as if it was going to tear everything apart.

The sound of the wind was so loud and so strong that it could not be produced by ordinary natural wind.

Holmes couldn't help but wonder, if there was only an exit extending to the ground ahead, how could there be such a clear wind whistling past? According to common sense, such a passage should be relatively closed, and the wind should not be so violent.

Unless........a terrible thought flashed through his mind, "There's a cliff ahead!"

He blurted out, his voice echoing in the silent passage with a hint of fear.
