Chapter 194 Successfully Escaping The House
"Uhhh, what are you doing?" Song Yue looked a bit afraid as Alina was carrying her and stood in front of the window. Alina's eyes were fixed on the street that is visible through the window.
Through her 'Short Teleportation,' Alina could not only teleport anywhere in 100-meter surroundings but she could also bring a person with her.
However, there are risks here.
First, this teleportation would only work in an open area. That means she cannot teleport through walls or any physical objects. And the second, the person with who she was teleporting along must have a tough physical body to endure it. Or else, they will face side effects like headache, vomiting, etc…
Unfortunately for Song Yue, she doesn't know about all of these, and Alina didn't feel the need to explain these, because, in her view, this was common sense.
As Alina still has yet to choose the landing spot, Song Yue asked her again, "how we are going to escape from these guards?"
Alina put her thoughts aside and replied, "The plan is simple. First, I'm going to throw you outside the window."
"Eh?" Song Yue looked at her in shock. Then, she got down from Alina's arms and look down at the ground through the window. She was terrified, "Ehhhh! Umpfff"
Alina hurriedly closed her mouth, "be silent. Or else, people would find out."
As she slowly removed the hand, Song Yue scolded her right away, "are you here to get me out, or are you planning to break my bones to postpone my marriage?"
"The second option is indeed a good idea but my master wants to finish this mission with no one getting harmed in the process," replied Alina while carrying her once again without caring what this heiress of the Song Clan is thinking. She continued, "After throwing you out, I will catch you in mid-air and then, both of us will teleport outside of the compound. From there, we fly away."
Song Yue suddenly got down once again, "No way. I won't jump out of the window. What if you fail to catch me? Even if I risk it, I will probably scream and alert everyone."
"Hmm, now that I think about it, you are right." Alina realized that she didn't take some of the things into consideration. She felt like it is really troublesome to cooperate with weaklings.
After thinking briefly, Alina took a risky route.
She opened the door and both of them slowly tip-toed across the corridor, trying their best to not make any sound.
They slowly made their way to the kitchen on the same floor. Alina was a little bit confused. She didn't understand why the target took her to this place, which only has small ventilation and a window that is just as big as the one in the bedroom.
Song Yue then took the fire torch from the wall outside the kitchen and stretched her arm. Of course, she made sure to stand at the entrance while doing that she doesn't know where the gas oven and gas cylinder are placed. A mishap could occur if she were to be careless.
Alina raised her head and saw a door-like thing on the ceiling.
"Did you see it?" asked Song Yue and then said, "The door leads to the attic. From there, we can go to the roof. You were just looking for an open area to teleport, right?"
Alina nodded and told her to put away the fire torch because the entrance to the attic lies right on top of a bunch of gas cylinders.
As she can see through the darkness, Alina easily walked forward. She gave a piggyback ride to Song Yue so as to make sure she doesn't collide with vessels and make some sound.
They reached the cylinders section and Alina spoke, "grip me tight and don't scream. I'm going to jump high."
"Alright," Song Yue tightened her grip and concentrated on not making any sound.
With just a simple jump, Alina reached the entrance door and grabbed the doorknob, and opened the door. Dust fell on top of their heads but Alina didn't mind such a thing and Song Yue tried her best to keep quiet.
While the door opened, Alina managed to land on the floor and jumped once again.
Both of them reached the attic and Song Yue closed the door after she got down. The attic was as big as three rooms but it was poorly maintained. The dust was everywhere, there was old rustic armor placed in a corner, but the biggest one is the rotten stench that filled the attic. Maybe, it is from an animal that was stuck here, or maybe, Song Clan killed some important witness and hid his/her corpse.
But, whatever it is, neither of them wants to know the source of the stench. They were just focused on leaving the place.
Song Yue felt an urge to vomit but she tightly covered her nose with her veil and tried to manage the breathing through her mouth.
Then, she walked to the window that is as large as a door. She opened it and a gust of air hit her face, forcing her to step back.
Alina then carried her once again as she stepped outside and then, scanned the surroundings. This time, there were no obstructions in her vision. She took a leap and landed on the top of the roof. She only stayed there for a split second before using Short Teleportation.
Both of them appeared on the edge of the street, nearly 70 meters away from Song Yun's residence.
Fortunately, there was enough space on the streets and the patrolling soldiers were a bit far away. However, there were lamp posts everywhere. It is difficult for neither of them to hide their identities if anyone spots them.
So, Alina quickly summoned the attack helicopter from Mark's inventory and hurried Song Yue to get inside.
As soon as she took the pilot seat, Alina pressed the black-colored button, unleashing the skill of the helicopter, Stealth.
The skill of Stealth turns the Attack Helicopter turn invisible to escape the senses of every one of the 7-circle realm and under. It consumes 1% of Mark's ether energy per second but the effect will be gone once the helicopter will be engaged in battle.
With 100 seconds in hand, Alina coolly pilot the helicopter and landed it on the roof of the weapon store before the time is even up.
It was then, that another small hurdle arrived before them. There are two guards standing at the entrance of the training ground. So, they cannot go through outside.
Thankfully, Mark had already taken that into consideration. He went downstairs and opened the window on the backside. It is never opened because of the chicken center located behind the store. Along with the unpleasant stench, there was always this sound made by roosters and hens, which is very irritating to the ears.
But now that the situation is demanding, he opened the window. He helped Song Yue to land in the store. Alina got inside herself and closed down the window.
For a while, Song Yue took deep breaths while speaking, "I never thought I would run away from my house like this. I should really thank you and Alina for helping me out. If not for you, I would really…"
Mark handed her a ceramic-made water bottle, "we can talk tomorrow. Lady Song, first drink some water and have a good sleep. Alina will take you to your room."
Song Yue nodded with a smile.
Soon, Mark returned to his room and sit on his bed. Until now, he had watched how Alina infiltrated the residence of Song Yun and how she got his daughter out of there.
So, he indeed knew how luck played the part, helping out Alina to finish this mission successfully. "*Sigh* I guess Alina indeed works hard. I should buy her a new set of books, tomorrow. Lu Zhen is indeed a mysterious fellow."
As he lay down on the bed to sleep, the latest memory of Song Yue thanking him with a smile appeared in his head. Unknowingly, a genuine smile appeared on his face. "All well that's end well."
Meanwhile, in the other similar-looking room, Song Yue was looking around in awe, "this looks even grander than my room back at our previous home."
Alina gave her a set of clothes so that she could change into them after having a shower. As she was a bit shorter and very thin at the moment, the clothes were a bit uncomfortable to wear but she had no choice for now.
She too lay on the bed and closed her eyes. However, she didn't get sleep, probably because it is the first time she was sleeping in a stranger's house.
In the end, she fell into thoughts, "But then again, Lu Zhen indeed comes to help when I'm in need of it."
