Chapter 8: The Unexpected
Nobuo Ono's house is located in a relatively remote area, basically on the outskirts of Tokyo, but everyone here knows where he came from, so few people are willing to approach the house, which makes the whole house seem extremely quiet.
At the door of the house, two men were smoking, and one of them suddenly said, "I said, why are there fewer and fewer people, where did that kid from Shimada go?"
"Most of them sneaked out to gamble, or went to find a woman. The other said, puffing on a smoke ring.
"Something is wrong, it's okay to have one or two less, do you think that the number of people in the house has been decreasing?"
"What do you mean, did they all disappear out of thin air? Hahaha, don't be stupid. ”
"There's always a bad feeling about it. The man leaned thoughtfully against the pillar of the gate.
"Even if something happens, don't forget that we have important guests now, and you and I have seen the methods of those guys, tsk, more ruthless than us. ”
The two of them remembered the scene when the three of them appeared a week ago, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
"It's on fire! It's on fire!"
There was a sudden bustle in the yard, and the two hurriedly threw away the cigarette butts in their hands and rushed to the yard.
At this time, a garage in the backyard caught fire, and the fire was raging, and the entire garage was shrouded in smoke.
"Hurry up and put out the fire! there's still gas in the car!" Nobuo Ono twitched the corners of his mouth in anger, but the most important thing now was to put out the fire, not to blame his subordinates.
The slow progress at the firefighting scene is mainly due to the lack of manpower, as the man said before, several of Nobuo Ono's men have indeed disappeared inexplicably.
"What about the people? Jiro and the others?" Nobuo Ono roared angrily.
"Boss, they haven't seen anyone since this morning. ”
"Baga, a bunch of gamblers, a bunch of scum!" Nobuo Ono was so angry that he wanted to shoot at his men.
"Boom!" the car in the garage exploded, throwing several people standing in front of it out and falling heavily to the ground.
"Extinguish the fire!"
The scene was chaotic, the water pipe on the ground was broken by someone for some reason, the water pressure decreased, and it did not play a role at all, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger.
"Kameda, where have you been, put out the fire for Lao Tzu!" Several figures walked over in the distance, and Nobuo Ono scolded without even thinking about it.
Those men were indeed Nobuo Ono's men, but by this time they seemed to be completely different people, with dark circles under their eyes and pale skin, and they were moving against the walls, as if they were afraid of the sun.
"What are you doing there stunned, if you don't put out the fire, I'll jump on you!" Nobuo Ono raised the revolver in his hand, fierce and vicious.
Finally, the last rays of sunlight disappeared into the courtyard, and the dusk stained the sky orange.
A few pale-skinned guys let out a strange scream and rushed towards Nobuo Ono.
"What are you going to do!" Nobuo Ono was so frightened that he retreated, and the revolver in his hand continued to pull, and the bullet hit the men, but they only paused for a moment, and then continued to charge.
Seeing that the boss was in critical condition, several people threw down the hose and rushed over, blocking Nobuo Ono behind him and fighting with those original partners. Nobuo Ono was stunned, gasping for breath, and the bullets in the revolver had already run out.
In the dark corner, Gu Xiaobai, who was waiting for the opportunity, took out the Ling Feng Blade and rushed forward, targeting Nobuo Ono's back, which was everyone's blind spot.
"Wow!" Ling Feng's blade cut a patch of green, Gu Xiaobai was stunned, and at this time, a thick layer of vines was wrapped around Nobuo Ono's back.
In another corner, a tall man walked out with a low grin, a man who was close to a woman in appearance and whose skin was whiter than those vampires.
"Carving insect skills, I have long known that it is not so simple, and there are indeed insects!" That person's name is Hajima Kiyoshi, an E-class ability, and one of the few people Ono Nobuo invited when he learned that the situation was not good recently.
Gu Xiaobai couldn't strike a blow, and decisively changed the target to the person with the ability in front of him, the assassin attacked, the most important thing in all actions is decisiveness, the slightest hesitation will bring trouble to himself, this is the essence that Lao Li Tou has repeated to him countless times.
A large number of vines appeared between the two, and if it weren't for Gu Xiaobai's speed being fast enough, he would probably be bound by the vines drilled out of the ground.
Ling Feng Blade tore apart one arm after another of the arm-thick vines, and the alien in front of him did not panic at all, he stood in place without moving a single step, controlling the vines to continue to draw towards Gu Xiaobai.
The speed was slowed down, but Gu Xiaobai was not in a hurry, because this person was completely in his plan.
The Ling Feng Blade was worthy of being a famous weapon, extremely sharp, cutting through these vines was effortless, and Gu Xiaobai's series of actions were just to attract that person's attention.
On the roof behind him, Edward quietly jumped down from it, squatted on the ground to accumulate strength, opened his mouth and rushed towards Hajima Qingqing, as long as he tore his skin with his teeth, victory belonged to the two.
In the last second, a dark shadow passed in front of Edward's eyes, and he didn't even see whether it was a human or a ghost, a tooth had already flown out, and then his entire body flew out.
Gu Xiaobai was blocked by the fragments of the vines, and he didn't see anything, only saw Edward's body fly out.
"The guy showed up. "It's the E-class ability that Li Xuefei mentioned in the information, the guy who is very fast.
Nobuo Ono on the side broke away from the protection of the vines and couldn't help but sneer when he saw the two strangers who appeared. A week ago, he learned that a killer was targeting him, so he went out of his way to invite a new Adept, in fact, he already knew that the disappearance of personnel and the fire in the garage were all tricks prepared by the people who tried to assassinate him.
Gu Xiaobai gushed out a strong air flow all over his body, blowing out all the vines around him in an instant, and while Bo Dao Qingming had not stabilized his shaking body, the Ling Feng blade had already reached his face.
Blood splattered, and the Ling Feng blade slashed across Hajima's shoulder, leaving a deep wound visible on it.
Bo Dao Qingming took a few steps back, and commanded the vines to rush towards Gu Xiaobai again.
Edward on the other side was very miserable, the other party's speed was too fast, he hadn't seen the other party's appearance clearly until now, he just blindly took a beating, and his nose and face were swollen after a few strokes.
Gu Xiaobai's arm was entangled in vines, he slashed through the vines with a knife in his hand, and a stream of air exploded, blowing Hadao Qingming's body back again, and then his body turned sharply in place, rushing to the side to watch the lively Ono Nobuo.
At this distance, it is impossible to stop Bodao Qingming, and Gu Xiaobai is about to succeed.
Suddenly, the black shadow behind him flew by, Gu Xiaobai only felt a shock from the tiger's mouth, the direction of the Ling Feng blade was actually off, and it was very outrageous, he had to take advantage of the situation and kicked at the black shadow, this kick was firmly on him, and a man in a black samurai uniform was kicked out.
The force of this kick was so great that the man's body slammed into the wall, and cracks appeared in the wall.
Gu Xiaobai soon swung a knife at Nobuo Ono again, and his goal was already extremely firm.
But Nobuo Ono in front of him suddenly disappeared into a cloud of smoke, and then those smoke actually firmly controlled Gu Xiaobai's body like a human arm, and he seemed to be tightly pinched by a huge palm.
"There's one more!" Gu Xiaobai's scalp was numb, obviously there was a third ability, and his ability should be to control the smoke, and at this time, the billowing black smoke above the garage began to quickly converge here.
A short man with a mustache slowly walked out of the smoke, his appearance was extremely obscene, typical of a rapist, plus he was only about one meter and a half tall, which made Gu Xiaobai disgusted for a while.
"It's obviously looking down on me, and it's really nerve-wracking that the people sent are some novices. The man looked at Gu Xiaobai with a smile, his eyes seemed to be looking at his prey.
This man's name is Sanada Shinzo, a D-class killer who has just passed the test, and his ability is to manipulate smoke, and Ono Nobuo spent a lot of money to get him, but it turned out that the money was well spent.
"You're talking about your mother!" The man was babbling for a while, Gu Xiaobai didn't understand a word, he was tightly bound by the smoke at this time, unable to move.
"Baga, the people of China still dare to come to our Great Japanese Empire, this is asking for their own death!" Although Sanada Shinzo's tone was ruthless, it looked very funny on his poor head.
"Don't say it, your mother has passed out next to me, blame me for being too strong. Gu Xiaobai didn't expect the other party to understand, but how could he not scold when he saw the Japanese?
Sanada Shinzo seemed to be angry, the smoke squeezed his body harder, and Gu Xiaobai felt that it was difficult to breathe.
"Holy shit, no matter how hard you work, haven't you eaten?" In the smoke, I could only hear Gu Xiaobai's shouts, but I couldn't see anyone.
On the other side, the group of vampires infected by Edward dealt with all of Nobuo Ono's men, and rushed to Sanada Shinzo and them, of course, all under Edward's control.
Seeing this, Kurokage and Hajima Kiyoshi consciously greeted them, they belong to the E-class, of course they have self-knowledge, and they must not let those vampires affect Sanada Shinzo.
The courtyard can be described as chaos, more than a dozen people in front and behind are together, and the black smoke is constantly surging, not only controlling Gu Xiaobai, but also chasing Edward who is moving at high speed, and because the two of them are just novices, it is impossible to come up with a way to fight against the D-class killer for a while.
"Damn, Gu Xiaobai, that woman lied to us!" Edward screamed as he ran.
"I don't know it, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea!" Gu Xiaobai's voice came from the smoke.
"What now? Two E-class, one D-class. ”
"What can I do, find a way to run!" Gu Xiaobai weighed the pros and cons, this should be the wisest choice now.
"It's over if you run, there will be no chance in the future, and there is only one chance for promotion!" Edward was unwilling.
"Which is more important, promotion or life?" Gu Xiaobai shouted speechlessly.
