Chapter Ninety-Six: Man is a sword, and I am a fish
The moment the lights went out, Twilight still felt that everything was normal.
Maybe in a sense, she is a little conceited, after all, she has always been the only one who deceives others, and she has not been tricked by others, since things have developed in the established direction, she didn't think about it anymore, just waited for three minutes later, Yu Zhe's side came with the news of success, and she tricked the female killer out and sent it to Yu Zhe's knife.
The voices of exclamation in the hall continued one after another, and no one knew why this happened, perhaps because Yin Mao knew the reason for the power outage, and he was quite calm, and loudly told everyone not to panic, the power would be restored immediately, and apologized for such an unexpected thing.
The night vision lenses popped up at dusk, and the situation at the scene was quite clear, except for a few Mrs. Kuo, who was frightened by the darkness, who needed to hug the people around her to stabilize her body, and the others listened to Yin Mao's words again, and their emotions eased.
Of course, what attracted her attention the most in the crowd was Cheng Yunxiao's reaction,
Holding a wine glass, she tasted the red wine in it elegantly, as if nothing had anything to do with her, and Li Hao next to her was alert, looking around and observing the environment, looking like she was going to eat people, but to be honest, in such a dark environment, I don't know what Li Hao can see.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the headphones, and she thought it was Yu Zhe on a mission, and she didn't take it seriously, but the sound was getting louder and louder, and it became noisy and annoying.
"Hey, can anyone hear me? What's going on there, there's a noise in the headphones right now. Twilight asked in a whisper towards the headphones.
No one responded.
"Where you ...... out"
Twilight wanted to ask again, but before she could finish her sentence, she heard a sharp "squeak" suddenly from her headphones, which seemed to pierce her eardrums, making her unable to recover after a few seconds, but this time, the noisy noise stopped.
"Morin?Yu Zhe?" Twilight asked again, hoping for a response, she wondered if the other two had done the same.
This time there was no response at all, and there was not even a lot of noise.
Feeling that something was not quite right beforehand, she hurriedly raised the lens to observe the time, it was less than half a minute before the end of the three, and she was looking at the crowd, when suddenly the figure of the female killer appeared in the corner, with unilateral low-light night vision goggles, half of the corners of her mouth turned upward, as if she was sneering.
"Why is she here!" Twilight was shocked, it would take at least forty seconds to walk from her position to the location of the power distribution room, and she was here now, and she would definitely not be able to turn on the manor's circuit in time to turn it on.
And the night vision goggles also made her feel very bad, and the other party seemed to be prepared.
"Wine table...... Right...... Third person...... Stand at the front ......" Twilight looked at the female killer's slightly closed lips, and read the meaning intermittently, she looked in the direction of the words, only to see that what she was talking about was Yin Mao.
"Oh no, something is going to happen!" Shi Twilight reacted in less than half a second, rushing towards Yin Mao with an arrow step, knocking him down at the same time, a "bang-" gunshot, accompanied by the sound of broken glass echoing in the hall.
Twilight could almost feel the air flow of the bullets, maybe a few tenths of a second later, Yin Mao would have already become a snatched ghost.
That female killer even has a helper!
Shi Duluo scolded in her heart, this time it was really a mistake, she still made a preconceived mistake after all.
“…… Evening...... Not...... Something......" Shi Dusk's headphones somehow suddenly came again, still murmuring, but intermittently she could hear a few words, she could understand the general meaning, but she didn't know whether it was Yu Zhe or Mo Lin.
"I'm fine. She replied loudly, and at this time she could not bother to whisper, for the whole hall was already in a mess, screaming, crying, and running footsteps...... It's like a wet market.
Yin Mao was frightened, he thought that he had lived for so many years, and he could face any wind and waves calmly in front of him, but he never expected that when death really passed by him, he was so afraid.
His brain had stopped thinking, and he could only vaguely see the twilight in front of him, and the girl who had always left him with an "unreliable" impression before actually saved his life at this moment.
He felt that his whole body was weak, and his only strong hands were clutching the corners of his skirt at dusk, which was his only source of security.
Twilight didn't know if what she had just said had been conveyed, but she couldn't think about it much, now her situation was too critical, she saw that the wine table was not a good cover, the bottom of the table was empty, and now the people in the hall were running around, it was estimated that the other party would not shoot rashly, but once everyone stopped, then their situation would be extremely dangerous.
A new place to hide must be found before then.
Twilight wanted to use the watch to look around, but unexpectedly found that the metal strap of the watch broke and fell to the ground due to the violent action just now.
She looked in the direction where the female killer had just stood, only to realize that the man had been staring at her, and was now nearly ten meters away from her.
When the female killer found out, Twilight had already looked at her, smiled, moved her mouth, and said, "You actually lied to me, but it doesn't matter, we have already found your teammates." ”
"What?" Twilight exclaimed, and then she heard another "bang-" gunshot.
"Morin?Yu Zhe?" asked Twilight, she didn't know who the female killer had found, but she knew that neither of them had experience dealing with sniping, and no matter who the shot was directed at, it was likely that it had already caused damage, maybe ......
She didn't dare to think about it anymore, her heart was full of self-blame, if she had found out the situation in advance, maybe this kind of thing would not have happened.
"It's all your fault...... It's all your fault...... It's all your fault....... it's all your fault......"
Twilight began to hallucinate in her ears, and it was the same voice she regarded as a nightmare, and even after decades, the shadow still lingered.
Yin Mao saw that she was a little stunned, and hurriedly grabbed the hand that was holding the corner of her skirt on her arm, and the touch finally brought Shi Duluo back to her senses.
"Under the wine table, the two people lying on their stomachs can all be killed. The female killer spoke again.
Twilight knew that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, calculated the time, and dragged Yin Mao to move quickly to another table, and accidentally kicked the watch that had just been thrown on the ground casually, and he didn't know where he was now.
"Bang-" The gun rang out again, and the bullet almost grazed the two of them again
There was no way to go on like this, she eased her mood, entered a very calm state, and began to analyze the situation and find countermeasures.
From the point of view of the bullet launch, the sniper is located in the southeast direction, and there happens to be a small hill on that side, which is relatively high and very hidden, which is very suitable as a sniper point.
The sniper needs someone inside to inform the location of the target, so it is very likely to use a thermal imaging scope, which can see the outline of the person, but cannot see the person's appearance, and the female killer's glasses are probably low-light night vision devices, which can clearly see everyone's appearance and the surrounding environment.
Well-equipped, the other party seems to have come completely prepared, and it is possible that they intended to use this method to complete the commission in the first place.
At the end of the day, the mission developed like this because she didn't think it through......
She picked up the headphones first, although she didn't know if she could let Yu Zhe and Mo Lin hear it, but at least she gave it a try:
"Yu Zhe, Mo Lin, I'm in the hall now, there's a sniper on the other side, southeast direction, find a safe bunker to hide, I made a mistake by thinking about it, I will try my best to make up for it......"
"Listen...... Yes.......?...... ....... ...... there?"
The sound of the headphones is intermittent, and it is still not clear who is responding, and Twilight realizes for the first time how inconvenient it would be to leave the headphones, but since there is a response, it proves that the other party can hear her, and she hopes that both of them are okay.
"If it's Yu Zhe, find a way to go back to the room, that room doesn't have a southeast-facing window, it's very safe, and don't come to the hall to look for me, it's very dangerous here. ”
After Shi Duluo finished speaking, she took a deep breath, she must not be disturbed by negative emotions now, the task is not over yet, she must find a way to ensure the safety of her employer.
Since the other party is using a thermal imaging instrument, the best thing to do is to create a heat source to interfere with the other party.
And the most direct way is to light a fire.
She looked around, the only items that could be lit around were the tablecloth of the wine table, and the entire hall was made of non-flammable marble floor, which should not cause any fire, but the biggest problem was how to ignite it.
"Is there a lighter?" asked Yin Mao, who was next to him, as he quickly ripped off the tablecloth.
"I ...... I didn't. ”
Shi Duluo thought about it carefully, Yin Mao did not smoke, and it was unlikely that she would carry a lighter with her, she quickly recalled the information, and looked around, and found that the person with a smoking addiction in the closest location was only Cheng Yunxiao.
suddenly fell into an impasse, for many reasons, she really didn't want to ask Cheng Yunxiao for help, and she didn't even want to say a word to her.
Especially now, coupled with her next moves, I am afraid that her identity will be exposed.
But the current situation is too critical, after weighing it again, she has no other choice, gritted her teeth, and asked Li Hao beside Cheng Yunxiao:
"Sir, do you have a lighter?"
Shi Duluo considered that with the master-servant relationship between the two of them, it was more likely that Li Hao would carry a lighter.
Li Hao didn't answer, and watched the twilight with vigilance.
"Give it to her. Cheng Yunxiao spoke coldly, she had a great interest in Shi Duluo, but wanted to see what she wanted to do.
"Thank you......" Twilight took the lighter, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart, but she had nothing to find fault with, after all, it was a matter of life and death.
She lit the tablecloth and threw it in front of her, the fire burned quickly, and attracted the attention of everyone present, she quickly stood up and pulled Yin Mao to run to the other room.
It was probably the flames that had an effect, a "bang-" gunshot, and this time she could clearly feel the distance away from the bullet.
Running straight up the stairs and going straight to the basement floor, Twilight, who had already judged the sniper's location, knew that this was a sniper corner.
Shi Duluo sighed, feeling a little relieved, in addition to running to a relatively safe place, the most important thing was that she saw Yu Zhe who was still alive from behind the flames.
