Chapter 3: Touching the Body
About a quarter of an hour had passed since the assassination began.
The manor above was probably a river of blood, but the sewers were peaceful, except for the murmur of dirty water, and the occasional squeak of rats.
......
The "Weasel Thieves" are all professional assassins, and most assassination attempts end quietly.
But this time, I didn't expect an accident.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a violent explosion rang out.
The flames burst through the floor, and the waves of air poured into the ground in a furious manner. In the closed sewer pipes, the movement became more and more deafening.
The sudden change made Tiger like an old dog that had been stepped on by the tail, and it bounced up with a "whoosh".
This guy, who looked like a drunk a second ago, instantly turned into a vicious dog in the dark, staring sharply at the depths of the pipe.
He looked at the big hole where the sewer pipe had been blown through, and muttered to himself, "Huh... It's strange, boss, how could they make such a big move... Didn't there be an accident? β
Before he could say anything, the newcomers were immediately on alert.
Wren also took out the dagger in his holster and pointed at the source of the explosion, looking serious.
He glanced at Tiger who was sneaking into the darkness, and secretly rejoiced that it was the right choice not to act rashly.
And at this time, suddenly the "smart brain" sounded again.
γDing! Warn! Deadly unknown neurotoxin attack discovered, direction β... Mild paralysis, imminent coma, please inject an antidote immediately. γ
γDing! The concentration continues to rise, and it is expected to reach a lethal concentration after 1.3 seconds, please evacuate the danger area in time! γ
1.3 seconds, which is completely unresponsive.
"Not good!"
Almost without any hesitation, Raymond took out an antidote from his hand and slammed it into his thigh.
This was something he had secretly saved during his new training, and now it came in handy.
At the same time, he did not hesitate to withdraw in the direction of the toxin prompt.
He was still wearing a gas mask, and the toxins had invaded his respiratory tract without any barriers, but how deadly was the toxin?
Instinct made him not care about exposing his hole cards, and chose to flee as soon as possible!
......
"9527, what are you doing!"
On the other hand, Tiger looked at Wren's sudden retreat, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
He was not only amazed by the strange behavior of this newcomer, but also amazed at the amazing speed with which this guy performed.
[Violent Walking] is a basic displacement skill that thieves must learn, and everyone in the entire "Weasel Group" can burst into ultra-high speed in an instant.
But Tiger found that the speed of this newcomer's explosion just now was too high, and he had too much in his impression.
This is definitely not something that ordinary newcomers can do!
This batch of newcomers was brought out by him, and this 9527, who has mediocre qualifications in his impression, has an explosive speed of about 11 or 12 m/s in the usual assessment of "speed", which is just a passing level.
And at this moment, he actually broke out with an ultra-high speed of nearly 15 m/s!
This level... Although it is not as good as the Awakened, it is far superior to all newcomers of the same level!
And the other two newcomers were also shocked, how could the guys who were obviously "crane tails" in training and assessment suddenly become so powerful?
Could it be that guy trying to seize the moment of the explosion to escape?
.......
"It's so skillful... Could it be that kid is clumsy on weekdays? β
Tiger instantly understood something, and he looked away!
This newcomer who is silent is probably the one who hides the deepest.
Although he was surprised, he sneered at the same time: Even so, it is impossible to escape in the hands of Lao Tzu!
But in an instant, a trace of doubt passed through Tiger's heart: "The materials carried by the newcomer are all standard, where did he find the potion?" What kind of storage space is it? β
Obviously, Tiger had also noticed the strange act of Wren injecting a potion into himself.
"That seems to be the antidote to the training center, when did that guy secretly hide one..."
But reality didn't give him much time to think.
Suddenly, a sense of crisis hit Tiger's heart.
Experienced and his face changed drastically, and he immediately realized something.
Unfortunately, it was already late.
Tiger watched as a staggering figure scurried through the blast into the sewers, and was about to flee, but a strong feeling of vertigo hit his brain.
Only then did he understand that this was deadly gas!
The toxin spread so quickly that the look of horror in Tiger's eyes didn't even fully stretch on his face, and the corpse collapsed to the ground weakly.
The other two newcomers didn't even have a chance to react, rolled their eyes, and died in an instant.
......
"What's the situation, someone really escaped from the sewers?!"
On the other hand, Wren was running all the way to avoid the toxin waves, and he felt incredible in his heart.
I didn't expect that the assassination of the "Weasel Monster Thieves" was really unexpected.
He looked at the "chasing" figure behind him, and his heart was half cold.
Obviously, it wasn't Tiger or the other two newcomers... The terrifying toxin just now spread rapidly with the explosion wave, and the three guys didn't have time to react, they must have been cold at this moment.
"Isn't the person who came extraordinary? Or maybe he's seriously injured..."
After running a few hundred meters, Wren suddenly felt a little strange.
This guy didn't catch up with him?
Then, without waiting for him to think about it, the staggering guy behind him actually fell to the ground with a bang, prostrate in the sewage.
"Dead?"
Seeing this scene, Wren was stunned.
He stopped, clenching the dagger in his hand.
A thought flashed through his mind in an instant: if the other party was an extraordinary person, it would be easy to kill him, and there was no need to use this kind of calculation to get away with it. But if this guy wasn't an extraordinary being, it would be impossible for him to escape from the siege of the assassins into this sewer.
The only possibility is that this guy is really seriously injured and died.
The man... Who the hell is it?
After weighing only a moment in his mind, Wren chose to take a closer look.
The concentration of the surrounding poisonous fog was shown to be within a safe range, and he cautiously walked towards the fallen man.
The guy who fell to the ground was half-soaked in sewage with his mouth and nose, and was obviously out of breath.
The corpse had a large patch of blood on its back, and a black streamer dagger stuck in it.
Obviously, this is a fatal wound.
"It's... Boss Quinn's enchanted dagger [Blackridge Wolf Fang]? β
Wren recognized at a glance the dagger with a glittering black light and a terrifying three-line blood groove stuck in the back of the corpse.
This is the exclusive transcendent weapon of Quinn, the leader of the "Weasel Thieves".
It also means that this knife is the killer personally ordered by the leader Quinn!
"I was able to escape under Quinn, who unlocked the third-order genetic lock, who the hell is this guy..."
Wren has seen the power of the leader Quinn, an ordinary second-order transcendent, and he can't pass a move in his hands.
If he can escape alive, it shows that this guy's strength is not simple.
Wren looked sideways at the corpse's face with doubts, and when he could see the bearded face clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly.
"Isn't that the target of this assassination, Baron Morin?"
This face was familiar to him, and before this operation, the photo of the target had long been remembered by everyone in the "Weasel Regiment".
Seeing the corpse right in front of his eyes, Wren's heart fluttered.
Infiltrating large territories to destroy the gate and kill the nobles of the empire is contrary to the scope of ordinary monster thieves.
Since the upper echelons of the "Weasel Monster Thieves Group" dare to take such a big risk this time, it means that this Baron Morin definitely has a big secret on him!
The poisonous gas in the blast tunnel is still very strong, and the people above will probably have to wait for a while if they want to come down.
Wren glanced at the explosion crater not far away, and a crazy thought flashed through him immediately.
"Touch the corpse!"
Although he was a little greedy for the sharpened iron dagger [Black-Ridged Wolf Fang] on the corpse, he did not dare to move, but carefully touched the corpse of Baron Morin.
