In the Kudo Division's mansion, all the guards and servants retreated, and there were only sixty-two bodyguard candidates left in the entire hall, and no one spoke at the moment, looking eerily quiet.

Just as everyone was waiting for the moment of the event, many black-clad and black-armored ninjas suddenly flashed on the corridor on the second floor, holding katanas and hanging various secondary weapons around them.

The ninja descended from the sky, and without saying a word, they chased and killed everyone, they moved neatly, attacked fiercely, advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and were obviously well-trained warriors.

The sixty-two people at the bottom were each with their own ghosts, fighting for their own battles, and after only a few minutes of fighting, more than a dozen people were captured, and the rest were forced to the middle.

"People all come down from the second floor, there is not a single one on the ground floor, I have observed, there are eight rooms on the first floor, let's retreat to the rooms. ”

Ye Yuan whispered to Su Xuan and Yang Tiancheng, and then saw the ninjas start the second round of attacks.

Ye Yuan and Yang Tiancheng defeated the ninja who rushed to the front, and then seized his weapon, and then they danced back to back, their swords dancing like hot wheels, repelling the first wave of ninja siege.

Those ninjas underwent rigorous training, and once they met a master, they changed their offensive strategy, and the group's rapid attack mode became a gradual mode of encirclement and suppression, occupying the retreat of the two step by step.

Individually, the strength of such a ninja is at most about three or four star martial artists, but when several are combined, even a six-star martial artist can't stop it, this is the power of the joint formation. Of course, if Ye Yuan used his means to severely damage the ninja, he would still be able to turn the tide of the battle, but this time it was obviously a test, and of course he couldn't make a heavy hand.

When they retreated to the ground floor room, the two ninjas jumped down from the second floor again, blocking the retreat of the three of them, but Ye Yuan had already prepared, and intercepted the ninja's attack with a snap of his fingers, and then the katana in his hand spun and flew out, blocking the ninja's next wave of offensive charge.

As Ye Yuan retreated into the room to defend it, the other candidates also found their own ways, either retreating to the room or hiding in the dark grid by the stairs, they guarded the only passage to defend against the opponent's group charge.

At this time, the butler's voice was transmitted through the radio: "There are still thirty-eight candidates, each of you has a number in your hand, pay attention to your number, and then destroy it." ”

The notice was confusing, but the group remembered their numbers and turned the note into powder.

A moment later, the voice came over the radio again: "Now I can tell you that there is a traitor among you, who has brought in many times the number of enemies and besieged you in a corner. Of course, the targets you want to protect are among you, but you don't know it. Now your task is to find the betrayer so that the enemy does not have reinforcements, and the Guardian objective is at the end of the mission. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized that this is the content of the bodyguard assessment, but the situation is very complicated, because they don't know who the undercover agent is, let alone who their target is.

In practice, this kind of bad situation will also occur, that is, the target cannot reveal his identity because he is afraid of being assassinated, and the undercover agent cannot find it, and their actions are constantly monitored and will be constantly hunted down.

At this time, a cold voice sounded: "Mr. Zhang, I have a question. How can we be sure that the betrayer is really the betrayer, and that the target is really the goal!"

This question is very sharp, and many people think of it, but they dare not ask it, for fear of being out.

The butler's voice sounded again: "That's why we arranged the number, in fact, until now, the betrayer and the target did not know their identity, and now I will announce it." Number 77 is the betrayer, number 15 is the target, your number has been torn up, but the record is in our storage, and we will publish it in two hours. ”

The butler stopped abruptly at this point, he only announced the rules of the game, but did not announce the conditions for promotion, which means that no one knows if finding the betrayer and protecting the target is considered a complete test, relatively speaking, no one knows what will happen to them if the time is up and the betrayer has not been found.

There wasn't much time left for them to think, though, as the ninjas began to attack the rooms, and although they would be broken one by one if they came in, they had secondary weapons such as smoke grenades and various darts.

Ten minutes later, the ninja's attacks were broken again and again, and just after the rest of the group took a breath, they found a large number of ninjas besieging a room.

The others found out about this situation, and Ye Yuan and they naturally found out about it, could it be that there is a target in this room, and the task of the ninja is to kill the target, which seems to be the most reasonable explanation.

"Lao Yang, you stay here, I'll go to find out the situation. Ye Yuan was about to leave as he spoke, but at this time, Su Xuan whispered in his ear.

The room was a maid's room, with no windows or lamps, and it was very cramped.

But a large number of ninjas besieged it, and all kinds of secondary weapons came in, making the defenses of the people inside stretched.

There are four people in this room at the moment, one of them is the girlish boy, he is holding two strange iron rods in his hand, the iron rods are connected by slender iron chains in the middle, like an extended version of nunchucks, but the attack pattern is completely different.

Those ninjas use long knives, and the pair of sticks happens to be the nemesis of long knives, and after a few attacks, it can be regarded as a thrill. But now it's different, those secondary weapons are all hidden weapons, and the iron rod can't defend against hidden weapons, and this boy has already hung up on his body at the moment.

"Little brother, this is not a way, let's rush out, otherwise it will be a dead end if we continue like this. One of the four, a man with a long face and thick eyebrows, suggested in a low voice.

The boy thought for a moment and said to the other three: "I'll rush out first, and you guys will follow behind to cover me, and find a way to rush to the second floor together." Before I do that, though, I want to make sure that there are no undercover agents among us. ”

After the boy finished speaking, he was the first to announce his number, which was the 18th, not an undercover agent, nor a protection target.

The current situation is very clear, since it is a campaign bodyguard, it is the most important thing to protect the target person, and if the target dies, the meaning of their existence will also be gone.

As for finding the betrayer, it is also very important, this is also a skill that bodyguards should have, and according to observation, the numbers are random and random, and they cannot determine the target range according to the order of first come, first served, which is the most fatal.

Compared to others, the protected target and the betrayer have to find ways to hide their identities, one is afraid of becoming the target of public criticism, and the other is afraid of being found out and eliminated, so there are two interest groups in this.

This boy wants everyone to be honest and unfair, just to prevent the other three from calculating, so they will definitely not be able to escape.

In this way, the other three also said their numbers, none of them were targets and betrayers, but there was one more problem, the number paper was torn, who knows if what they said was true.

The boy didn't know the difference, and rushed straight out, and at this moment, several ninjas threw barbed chains and covered the boy.

Seeing the trap, the three retreated, and as a result, the two sides were cut off from each other, and the boy was left alone.

Not long after, the boy's hands were hooked by chains, and although he resisted vigorously, it was only a matter of time before he was captured.

At this moment, a knife flashed, the iron chain broke in response, and in front of the boy, an ordinary-looking uncle appeared.

Ye Yuan has a knife in his hand, and his overall momentum is different, he rarely uses a long knife, but once he uses it, he is so domineering.

The influence of the demon knife on Ye Yuan was too great, so that he would not use the long knife at all times, and even if he did, he would not use the demon knife technique.

However, even if it is an ordinary knife technique, it is not something that these middle ninjas can resist, and under the bloom of the sword light, those barbs are cut off one after another.

"Are you the target?" asked Ye Yuan and the boy back-to-back.

"I'm not. The boy replied indifferently.

"That's the strategy to lure the snake out of the hole, let's find other people, and when everyone gathers, we can find a way to find the target and the betrayer. ”

"But those ninjas are in a constant stream, and we don't have time to spare. "The boy pointed out the key problem.

"I went to the second floor, I observed, all the ninjas came out of the three rooms on the left and right, but there was never a ninja in the middle room, and that was the key!"

While Ye Yuan was talking to the boy, the other candidates also rushed out and rushed towards Ye Yuan.

Assassination and protection are intertwined here.
