Chapter 82: Each Playing Their Part
"I'm sorry, sir, but our hotel does not offer that kind of service," Luo Si replied in a mechanical tone.
Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, she subconsciously assumed he was asking about *that* kind of special service. So, with a look of disdain, she shot a glance in his direction, as if saying, "I didn't expect you to be that kind of person."
Although separated by the bathroom wall, Bai Mo, upon perceiving her gaze through his divine sense, quickly realized she had misunderstood.
"It's purely a massage; you're overthinking it," Bai Mo explained patiently.
"If it's for that, the hotel can connect you with a professional physical therapist. Please wait a moment while I contact the hotel's back office." Luo Si, flustered that her thoughts had been seen through after hearing Bai Mo's explanation, hastily responded.
"They all carry alarm devices with them. If you try anything untoward... hehehe," Luo Si thought to herself while connecting to the hotel's service department.
"Sir, what time would you like the service? Also, their service fees are quite high, approximately two hundred euros per hour. Is it alright to deduct it from your room deposit?" Luo Si asked Bai Mo while holding an internal intercom.
"Fine. Just have her come up after you've cleaned the bathroom." Bai Mo replied casually, then pulled a medical textbook from his luggage and continued reading to pass the time.
"Yes, sir."
Fifteen minutes later, Luo Si, having thoroughly cleaned the entire bathroom, emerged.
"Sir, the bathroom has been cleaned. If there's nothing else you need, I'll take my leave. The physical therapist will be here soon," Luo Si said, preparing to depart.
Bai Mo nodded and hummed in acknowledgment. Then, Luo Si noticed a small paper airplane, folded from a hundred-euro banknote, float into the pocket over her chest.
"Thank you, sir." Luo Si turned, bowed toward Bai Mo, and then closed the door.
"He's strange, but so generous! He just slipped me six hundred euros like that," Luo Si thought. Under the intoxicating effect of the crisp euros, Luo Si quickly forgot the terrifying experience she had just endured; those thirty seconds of utter immobility were lost somewhere in the corners of her memory. After all, working in service meant encountering all sorts of odd guests. You got used to it; if you took everything to heart, you wouldn't last long.
"Hm?" Two minutes after Luo Si left, Bai Mo observed a small assault taking place in the hotel stairwell through his divine sense.
The woman walking ahead continued on her way, seemingly unaware that someone was following her.
The attacker behind her followed step by step, then suddenly launched their attack at a turn in the staircase. Rushing forward, they skillfully used their left hand to instantly pin the woman's arms, preventing her from pressing her alarm device, while using their right hand to cover her mouth and nose with a cloth.
It seemed the cloth was soaked in a powerful anesthetic, for after struggling forcefully for a few moments, the attacked woman's resistance rapidly weakened, and she soon became completely still.
A few seconds later, two accomplices emerged from behind the black-hooded attacker. They quickly carried away the unconscious victim, then gathered up all the tools she had been carrying.
After the victim was carried away from the hotel by her accomplices, a girl dressed in clothes similar to the victim's, under the lead attacker's command, took the victim's belongings and slowly walked up the stairs.
At first, Bai Mo hadn't paid much attention, but gradually he realized the girl seemed to be heading toward his room, and he found the situation becoming rather interesting.
"Ding-dong." The doorbell to Bai Mo's room rang.
Bai Mo instinctively used his telekinesis to open the door.
"Hello, I'm the physical therapist contacted by the hotel. My name is Mu Si. Are you Mr. Bai?" A beautiful blonde girl appeared before Bai Mo.
"Yes, come in." Mu Si, with a guilty conscience, didn't immediately suspect anything about the door opening automatically.
Mu Si casually closed the door, but Bai Mo noticed her make a subtle gesture toward it. After closing the door, she walked into Bai Mo's room, carrying her belongings, and looked around.
"Are you looking for something?"
"Power, I need to use the power outlet."
"The power outlet is over there," Bai Mo said, pointing towards the television.
Mu Si took a small air pump and an inflatable mattress from her bag, then plugged the electric pump into the outlet and began inflating the mattress.
Under the pump's action, the mattress quickly swelled. She placed the inflated mattress on the bed, then spread a towel over it, and motioned for Bai Mo to lie down.
Bai Mo followed her instructions, removed his shirt, and lay face down on the mattress, all the while continuously observing Mu Si's actions with his divine sense.
In his perception, Mu Si's movements were simply too slow, and her various subtle gestures were all too obvious.
"She tapped an unknown device hidden in her long hair behind her right ear a total of three times. She must be sending some signals," Bai Mo counted in his mind.
Mu Si gently applied the ointment she had brought to Bai Mo and then massaged him with practiced movements.
"Such good skin, and no visible muscles at all. He's clearly a rich kid out for fun. Rich people are really annoying; a guy's skin is even better than mine! But this just proves that this job wasn't for nothing. Still, I need to be careful if he has any powerful bodyguards; I'll leave that for the boss and them to handle," Mu Si thought to herself as she massaged him.
"The massage feels quite comfortable, and she seems to be acting professionally. I just wonder when the dagger will be revealed from the map. It seems the woman who was attacked was the physical therapist originally intended for me," Bai Mo thought to himself, eyes closed in enjoyment.
The two, each harboring their own ulterior motives, continued to act, pretending that nothing unusual was happening.
Time ticked by, second by second. Mu Si's massaging movements began to turn somewhat suggestive. Her entire body was draped over Bai Mo's back, and a significant portion of her long blonde hair spread across his body.
"Let's see how this old lady paralyzes you with some 'benefits'," Mu Si thought to herself.
Bai Mo paid no mind to the suggestiveness of her movements, nor the strange sensations on his back. He simply kept his eyes closed, continuously observing his surroundings with his divine sense.
"Oh? The accomplices are here. It seems it's almost time for them to make their move," Bai Mo perceived through his divine sense that the previous attacker and the two accomplices responsible for dealing with the real physical therapist were already nearing his door.
A bizarre scene unfolded at that very moment: Mu Si's hair instantly elongated, wrapping around Bai Mo's limbs and neck like steel wire. Then, she plopped herself down precisely on Bai Mo's waist, right at his center of gravity.
"Don't resist!" Mu Si shouted at Bai Mo beneath her.
