Chapter Twenty-Four: A Succession of Assassinations
Since saying goodbye to Ning Fengzhi that day, Xu Ran has finally lived a quiet life for a few days.
For a few days, Xu Ran followed the star spirit in the streets and alleys of Deakon City during the day, and meditated and practiced at night.
But even if he kept walking, he still didn't visit Deakin City for three days, but this normal way of life made Xu Ran relax and find the happiness he hadn't seen for a long time.
Xu Ran got up early in the morning that day, and after a simple wash, he wanted to go downstairs for breakfast, but just opened the door and found a guy looking in at the door of Xingling's room, and at the same time there were words in his mouth.
Although there was a distance of more than ten meters, Xu Ran still heard the other party's muttering faintly in his ears.
"Damn, is this girl still a special person, Lao Tzu fed her poison for three days in a row, but not only did she not poison her, but the more she ate, the more energetic she became, what the hell she saw. And for this damn mission, I have to pretend to be a guy here all day these days, being called around by those untouchables, but I can't have a seizure. And those bastards eat and drink spicy food in the house all day long, and they have a moisturizing life, damn it, when is this kind of day a head. ”
"No matter, although the family asked me to try to kill her unknowingly, she and that kid were tired of being together all day long, and they didn't give her a chance at all. Since the reality doesn't allow it, I can't care so much. ”
As he spoke, the "man" reached into his arms with one hand, and at the same time quietly pushed the door open a small crack with the other hand.
Just as he was about to sneak in, he felt a grab on his shoulder, and at the same time, a voice came from behind, which made him startled for a while.
"Man, what are you trying to do when you break into the guest's room without permission?"
"Oh, then I want to see if the guest is up, and I'm going to clean her."
As he spoke, the man did not turn around, but hurriedly stuffed the half-taken dagger back into his arms.
But perhaps due to tension, the dagger did not fit into the cloth pocket of his arms, but slid down through the open hem of his clothes, and fell to the ground with a clatter.
In an instant, the man's body stiffened, and a chill rushed from his toes to the top of his head.
If you can still quibble before, what should you say now?
It's over, it's over, it shouldn't be the plague god behind him.
Just as he was thinking nonsense, Xu Ran had already squatted down and picked up the dagger on the ground.
Gently stroking the blade of the dagger, Xu Ran said lightly, "Man, what are you doing with a dagger for cleaning, it doesn't seem to make sense." ”
"That, uh, that...... Actually, it's very simple, you also know that I'm a buddy, and those corners and door cracks are the most difficult to clean when cleaning, and this is when the dagger comes into play, just pick it lightly, and the dirt can't be hidden, so I shouldn't be too much to bring a dagger. ”
Forcibly explaining, the man wanted to turn around to see who was behind him, while his mind quickly thought about how to deal with it.
It's just that before he could make a move, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
When he looked down, he saw that his dagger had pierced his back through his heart to his chest, revealing a small blade dripping with blood.
"You...... You ......"
"That's a good answer, so you can die."
Pushing the dagger forward hard, the man didn't even let out a scream, and his body went limp.
wrapped the corpse with a quilt, and then Xu Ran carried it on his shoulders and walked out of the hotel, and it didn't take long to find a remote place.
an abandoned garbage disposal center,
Throw away the corpse and the quilt, and the corpse will be submerged in waist-high weeds in an instant.
After returning to the hotel, Xu Ran did not hide the incident from Xing Ling this morning, after all, it seems that Xing Ling is the target of assassination, and she has the right to know her current situation.
Knowing that he was almost assassinated, Xing Ling covered his mouth in surprise, and was afraid for a while.
So, in the next time, the distance between her and Xu Ran became closer, and it can almost be said that they are inseparable.
Even at night, she went to Xu Ran's room to sleep, because there was only one bed, Xu Ran, as a decent gentleman, had no choice but to set up the floor.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed, and unsurprisingly, the Star Spirit was assassinated twice,
One of them was at night when I was asleep,
The other time was in a rouge shop, and it was this time that the star spirit was stabbed in the arm because he couldn't dodge, and he bled a lot.
Seeing Xing Ling's tears flowing and inhaling cold air in pain, the anger in Xu Ran's heart was almost uncontrollable, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to wipe out the Li family, he would have wanted to rush into the Li Mansion and kill him upside down.
But reason eventually suppressed the impulse,
That is, from this day on, Xu Ran stuck to Xing Ling's side for almost twelve hours every day, after all, he knew very well why Xing Ling was assassinated.
Since he can't solve the root of the problem for the time being, he has to do his best to protect the star spirit.
Protect this girl who is stubborn on the outside, but very fragile on the inside.
Night Arrival,
moon star sparse,
black magpie flying south,
Seeing Xing Ling sleeping, not long after Xu Ran entered the cultivation state, he suddenly heard a strange sound outside the window, and the sound of "hush lala" was intermittent, as if someone was constantly rubbing the window frame with the sole of his shoe.
Although it was not loud, it was very harsh in the silence of the night.
"Wang Feng, presumably this kid has noticed the movement here, I heard footsteps coming over, it should be that kid undoubtedly."
"Well, I heard it too, you continue to keep this voice, don't stop, don't stab me at a critical time. If the assassination still fails this time, then there is no need for the few of you to live, have you heard? ”
"Yes, yes."
After some advice, the momentum on Wang Feng's body surged, and four soul rings of white, yellow, yellow and purple appeared.
As the third soul ring lit up, his body became more and more illusory, eventually melting into the shadows on the walls, easily passing through them.
After entering the house, the black shadow first looked around,
It's about the same as he thought,
Xu Ran was cautiously moving towards the window at the moment, which made him feel amused.
"Hmph, dare to offend the Li family, let you try the pain of losing your loved ones today."
The shadow sneered, sliding like a floating gecko against the innermost wall to the edge of the bed.
Looking at it, the star spirit is sleeping deeply at the moment,
Wang Xian sneered, and a withered arm stretched out from the dark shadow, grabbing at the star spirit's forehead.
"It's a pity to kill it directly so beautifully, but the head of the family has an order, so don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Die!"
The claw-like withered arm carried a gust of wind and went straight to the Star Spirit Face Gate.
Seeing that the blow was about to be successful, the king of the electric light and flint suddenly felt a chill in his back, and subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see that less than a centimeter away from him, a miserable white cheek was staring at him with a smile, and his eyes were full of banter.
The distance of one centimeter is too short, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the two of them are facing each other at this moment.
A big face appeared silently in front of him, and Wang Xianfeng was so frightened that he instantly retracted his body into the black shadow on the roof.
"! What is this Nima, it scares Lao Tzu"
But when he saw the appearance of his cheeks, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body, "What...... How so?! ”
Seemingly a little unconvinced of his eyes, Wang Xianfeng rubbed his eyes vigorously, and subconsciously looked towards the window.
At this look, he was immediately dumbfounded.
I saw that by the window, a "Xu Ran" was facing away from him and preparing to open the window.
And beside the bed, there was also a "Xu Ran" staring at him with a smile.
"This ...... Two people who are exactly the same, am I the hell? ”
Just when Wang Fengfeng was confused, he didn't know that directly below him, the third "Xu Ran" was holding Tianhe Dinghai in his hand, ready to go.
