Chapter 333: Succeeding
It was late at night.
In a roadside snack bar in the western district of Billun City, Jiang Yan and Man De are sitting at the table by the window, quietly enjoying the meal.
There were many other customers in the store, but almost no one cared about the combination of Jiang Yan's side, without him, the image of the two of them at the moment was very inconspicuous.
Mander replaced his black suit in favor of a brownish-gray low-necked sleeved jacket, just like the rest of the store. And what Jiang Yan shows in the eyes of the public at this moment is not his somewhat conspicuous handsome face, but the appearance of an ordinary brown-haired boy.
"The first step of the mission is to confirm the information, especially the target's itinerary at the moment!"
Mander swung his knife and fork and slowly cut through the steak on the plate in front of him, speaking in a very small voice.
"According to my prior investigation, the target will basically take a night out of his mistress on this day of the month to have a private meeting, although he will still bring guards, but because of the secretive nature of the guards, the number of guards will not be too many, compared to when he always stays in the heavily guarded main house, there is no doubt that there is a greater chance to do it now. ”
"It's worthy of a senior, have you prepared in advance?" Jiang Yan smiled lightly and sent a word of appreciation, thinking about it, Mande had probably already aimed at this target, so it was so coincidental that he happened to encounter the opportunity when the target's defense was relatively lax today.
"Assassination is a technical job, and preparation is the basics of the basics. Mande shook his head and glanced at the unfamiliar looking Jiang Yan on the other side of the table, and his eyes were a little strange.
"Speaking of which, your kid's contract elf is really weird, obviously the spiritual power is not high, but there are a lot of small tricks, this disguise is simply a completely different person, even if I know the truth in advance, I still can't see the flaws......"
"It's just a use of mimicry ability, and it's not worth mentioning. Jiang Yan said with a smile.
Yes, his current ordinary face, which is very different from his original appearance, is actually the result of letting the little slime use his mimicry ability to coat his head with a layer of 'camouflage film', which is basically equivalent to wearing an active disguise mask. In addition, it is also a high-fidelity disguise mask that can be modified at will.
Jiang Yan is very confident in his disguise, even if someone pulls it directly with his hands without believing in evil, he will only experience the touch of normal human skin, and he can't find any flaws in wearing a mask.
Originally, the little slime couldn't do this level of long-term fine camouflage, but now that Jiang Yan's true spirit has recovered, it can already use the super-fine control and background authority that comes with the ability to assist its mimicry, and it can also use its own spiritual power to support its consumption, so it's no problem.
"Well, that's fine, the more inconspicuous the appearance of those who do our business, the better the effect. Seeing that Jiang Yan didn't seem to want to talk more about his contract elves, Mande shrugged his shoulders and didn't continue to investigate.
"Hyde, Rodlin, the son-in-law of the Rodlin family and the spokesman of the firm, is a small and powerful figure in this city, and the family has a soldier-level elf envoy in charge, if we attack head-on, of course we will not be able to please with our strength. However, the elven envoy was in the service of the Rodlin Firm, not Hyde's personal bodyguard, so he did not follow Hyde on such a day. As your first mission, you should only need to deal with three or five mortal-level elven conformists this time. ”
The elven co-pact is not an informal elf envoy, but a layman similar to the Mitt that Jiang Yan met who made a contract with the elves with a symbiotic blood contract. The contract elves of this kind of character are basically the level of mortal-level miscellaneous fish, although they also have good combat effectiveness compared to ordinary people, but they are naturally far worse than regular elf envoys.
After giving a general introduction to the information about the target this time, Mande, who had been watching the street through the window of the store, had a bright eye and said in a deep voice, "Well, someone has appeared." ”
Jiang Yan turned his head slightly without a trace, and then a faint reflection of the smooth shop window also captured the scenery on the street.
A carriage drove from the end of the street and stopped in front of the gate of an exquisitely decorated residence about fifty meters diagonally opposite the snack bar where Jiang Yan was, and then, a fat man with a big belly jumped off the carriage, looked around cautiously for a while, and then quickly stepped forward and took out the key to open the door and walked in.
Two tall men in black trench coats followed behind the fat man and walked in as well. Then the carriage quickly left the house, driven by the driver in the front seat.
"Alright, that's right, it's Hyde. As an instructor, I have already provided information on this operation, and the rest of the work will be handed over to you, no problem, newcomer?" Mande confirmed to Jiang Yan.
The teamwork of the two is temporary, and the goal is just to let Mande, who is a senior in the industry, guide a fledgling like Jiang Yan.
If the specific execution of the task is also done by Mande, there is no point in forming such a team.
"No problem, I'll ask the little guy to give you a signal after the task is completed, senior, you don't have to wait for me after you confirm it, I'll go back to the branch directly." Jiang Yan nodded, just finished eating the meat steak on the plate in front of him, took a napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth, then got up and left.
On the table, only a silver-white finger-sized coin was left, which was casually placed in front of Mande by Jiang Yan.
"You're so confident...... Then I'll see, newcomer. ”
Jiang Yan walked out of the store door and turned directly into a dark corner, and in the next second, when no one was paying attention, his body was covered with a layer of snow-white plating, and then the color quickly faded, and finally the whole person disappeared from the air silently.
But he used the little slime's mimicry ability to make a coat and drape it on the surface of his body, making himself completely invisible.
Mimicry of this scale is also something that the current little slime can't do alone, but with the help of Jiang Yan after the true spirit has awakened and the ability has been restored, it is not a problem now.
Of course, because the little slime's spiritual power is limited, Jiang Yan's own current spiritual power cultivation is not high, so this level of mimicry is not perfect, Jiang Yan focuses on color camouflage, and the thermal energy regulation only slightly suppresses his body temperature dispersion.
As for the breath, the little slime's own instinctive breathing skills are very good, and Jiang Yan's control over his body is also not bad, temporarily sealing the pores to suppress the body odor, lightening the footsteps, and reducing the heartbeat and breathing rhythm are all commonplace for him, who was a martial arts master and is now a martial arts master.
Staying invisible, he came to the door of the house that Hyde entered, Jiang Yan raised his eyes and swept it, and immediately saw that in the window on the second floor, there was a guard quietly probing and watching the movement of the street in front of the gate of the house.
"It's really cautious, it seems that this Hyde's status in the Rodlin family is not very good, otherwise there is no need to be so careful for fear of being caught and raped. ”
Just push the door in?
Although he has the transformation ability of a small slime, Jiang Yan can make keys of any shape at will, and he is not worried about not being able to open the door, but in this way, he is basically equivalent to directly telling the people in the house that an intruder has entered.
But this is not difficult for Jiang Yan.
He recalled the structure of the dwelling he had observed as he walked over, and quickly had an idea, leaving straight through the gate, and instead going around to the back corner of the dwelling.
Looking at the stone wall standing vertically in front of him, as well as the window on the third floor above his head, Jiang Yan raised his hand, and part of the slime coat on his body flowed to the palm of his hand, reducing it to the little slime's round, but obviously smaller body.
The size of the little slime, which was split out, was only as big as Jiang Yan's fist.
"Go ahead. Jiang Yan ordered softly.
“mi!”
The slime clone moved its body up and down for a while, and then jumped up more than two meters high with a bounce, and poked out seven or eight tentacles like an octopus when it was about to fall, and the bottom layer of the tentacles simulated the suction cup structure of an octopus attached to the wall, and directly let the clone climb up.
At this time, the slime clone had also lost its color, and without causing any sound, it quickly waved its tentacles and climbed up, and only a few seconds later came to the window on the third floor.
Jiang Yan also can't see the invisible slime clone that is far away, but he can directly use his ability to connect with it and share the intelligence information perceived from the other party's perspective, so he can command at any time.
Unless violently destroyed, this tightly closed window may be able to hold off most intruders, but unfortunately, there is a gap in it, and this gap is definitely not small.
Since there are gaps, it will be easy to do. The slime clone used its ability to transform into a puddle of liquid liquid, and easily slipped through the gap.
'Well, the house is so big, I don't know where the target is...... Well, it's better to just scan it with an ability. ’
Jiang Yan, who possessed part of his mind in the slime sub-body, directly moved his mind, and an invisible data detection wave radiated out, scanning the house in detail like electronic sonar, turning it into a data signal and feeding it back into Jiang Yan's consciousness.
'Found it, but ......'
Jiang Yan guided the liquid slime clone directly into a room through the crack in the door, and then remained invisible and returned to its original state, simulating a pair of biological eyes on the surface of the ball-like body.
Originally, slimes did not have the auditory vision of normal creatures, so they directly used spiritual perception combined with their own epidermal contact to observe environmental information, but that perspective would be a little uncomfortable for normal people. Fortunately, the little slime that has devoured the black wolf elf is completely fine with simulating the eyes and ears of normal creatures.
But Jiang Yan, who is now observing the target state with normal vision, is in a bad mood, because-
The scene in front of me was a bit unsightly.
Just imagine, if there is a fat pig-shaped rough man with a fat head and big ears that seems to be dripping with grease, but he is kneeling on the ground in a pair of pink stockings, and is whipped down by a woman in a leather coat with a whip in his hand, and every time the whip falls, the fat man is flushed and howls in pain and coolness, and trembling and sweating all over......
How do you feel when you see it?
'Ahh
Although I've seen it in the ability scan, it's different from the experience of actually seeing it with my eyes, and the effect of this mental damage is doubled!
'Ma Dan, when you go back, you can't say you should wash your eyes!'
Jiang Yan, who scolded in his heart like this, directly gave an order to the slime clone to act.
Laugh at......
A trace of colorless and odorless liquid was secreted by the slime clone, and within a few seconds of its appearance, it directly evaporated into gaseous form in this room.
Crackle!!" Whoa...... Baby...... Yes, that's it, so hard!"
The two people in the room obviously didn't notice anything unusual, and were still immersed in their special play activities.
It wasn't until half a minute later that a deep feeling of dizziness suddenly hit their hearts, which made the two of them suddenly alert.
"Uh-huh...... This is?!"
The woman fainted directly to the ground without resistance, and Jiang Yan's target this time Hyde was a little more alert, and at the moment before the dizziness invaded the brain, he bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and forcibly stimulated his brain with severe pain.
Hyde, who had been awake for a short time, found that it was of little use at all, and the dizziness was like lying down to sleep after not closing his eyes for three days and three nights, and the drowsiness was like a tidal wave that kept disintegrating his will.
"Oops...... ......!!"
He already had a ghost in his heart, and he instantly knew that he had been plotted, and the belief in survival made him reluctantly raise his hand and overturn the chair not far away before his consciousness fell into a complete sleep, and by the way, a bottle containing a rejuvenating potion on it fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.
The two guards on the first and second floors heard the noise.
"Tsk, the boss is really good at playing!" The guards thought that this was just a disturbance between Hyde and his mistress in that special play, so they didn't care, and it wasn't the first time they had heard this kind of movement, probably the result of the two of them playing to the rise.
'Whew...... It's so much cleaner!'
On the third floor, after letting the slime clone use the ability to synthesize high-level bodily fluids and release a venom with a paralyzing effect and high volatility to put the two Hyde down, Jiang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He controlled the slime clone to the head of the fallen Hyde, and poked out a sharp needle that was comparable to a rock, and stabbed it into the opponent's bald scalp at once, instantly submerging half an inch!
Looking at Hyde's unconscious twitching body, Jiang Yan let the slime clone inject corrosive venom while silently communicating in his heart about the coin placed in front of Mande in the snack bar across the street outside.
Under Mande's gaze, the coin suddenly turned from silver white to snow-white, and quickly melted into a "○" shape, and then disappeared directly in front of Mande.
"Oh, I see, that's the 'signal'? It seems to have succeeded......"
Mande looked up at the still unmistakable residence opposite, and couldn't help but smile: "Good job, newcomer." ”
After a few more cautious observations, he stood up and checked out and left.
