Chapter 210: Disguise
"Sure enough, the real assassins will not easily run to the base, and it is impossible to easily leak the information of the mastermind behind the scenes. It's all fake on TV......"
Rowan frowned and landed down, looking at the last assassin who was desperately fighting with Doudou on the ground, and felt a sadness in his heart.
Instead of landing directly at the entrance of the city that never sleeps, he drove Chopper to land in an alley a little farther away, just quietly watching Doudou fight the assassin.
The guests of the city that never sleeps all hid in the entrance, and the guards sealed the entrance, watching from the sidelines.
The assassin began to use his best explosive tools, but Doudou kept getting entangled with him in close quarters, making him restrain his hands and feet and not dare to blast at will, and every attack of Doudou could cut a huge blood hole on his body, causing the blood to flow continuously.
As he lost more and more blood, his eyes blurred and his heart grew more and more fearful.
No one wants to die, even assassins who have already risked their lives will seize every ounce of life and desperately escape from the shackles of death.
He tried his best to throw out all the explosive props and detonate them immediately!
"Boom, boom!"
In the midst of a large explosion, he was blown away by the explosive prop he threw and fell to the ground.
βMDοΌβ
He struggled to get up and desperately stuffed all kinds of pills into his mouth, which contained healing pills and blood-tonifying pills...... There are even berserk pills!
In an instant, the effect of the medicine poured out, his eyes burst with blood, the muscles on his face were bruised, and the red blood vessels bulged up, revealing his skin, which was slightly hideous.
Then, as soon as he turned around, he continued to flee!
You can't beat it, and it's impossible to beg for mercy, if you don't want to die, you can only escape!
He knew this very well, because Doudou, who was affected by the explosive prop, only caught up again after a moment, and his hair was not injured at all.
But where to flee this time?
Base?
No kidding, there's no one else in the base at all!
In order to eradicate the tavernkeeper, they have dispatched all the assassins who exist!
Except for the lucky ones who have gone on a mission, the base is already an empty nest.
"What to do? I won't be able to escape for long before I get caught up, and in the meantime, I'll have to figure out a way! Is it only possible to contact the owner? No, no, you can't contact the owner, you can't leave clues! I see, the tavern owner is certainly not dead, and he must be waiting for me to contact the master, and then follow the vine......"
In the desperate situation of death, the assassin's mind became clearer and clearer.
He jerked out of one lane and into another.
"Perhaps, I can do one more thing for my master before I die? Like what...... Channeling the waters of evil to other nobles? β
In fact, for professional assassins, he should have thought of this strategy a long time ago, but their group of assassins rarely had the experience of mission failure after their debut, and even if they failed by chance, they could easily escape, and that kind of record made them gradually become conceited, and they would never think that they would use this strategy at all.
Even now, the assassin has a hard time accepting this reality.
"But for the sake of my master, it's not a pity for me to die!"
After making his decision, his gaze became firm, and he began to think quickly about which nobleman should he lead to.
However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed that a figure appeared in front of him!
The figure was not tall, but it scared him from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't run away, it's useless."
Rowan stood there and said indifferently.
After this night of tracking, he gradually realized that his experience was really inadequate, and some of his ideas were too naΓ―ve.
And now is the time to put an end to that naivety.
Seeing that the assassin was so frightened that he stopped, he finally asked: "Can I interrogate the name of the mastermind behind the scenes from your mouth?" β
The assassin burst into a disdainful laugh.
So Rowan laughed too.
Chopper sprang out from behind him, not afraid of the last few explosives thrown by the assassin, rushed directly head-on, and then smashed the assassin's chest and abdomen with one punch!
With the sound of explosions and fists crashing into flesh, the assassin flew upside down, slammed into the wall, and then slid down.
Chopper walked up, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him up.
Doudou walked out of the rear slowly, it had already been able to deal a fatal blow to the assassin, but it was just fighting with Rowan because it didn't get Rowan's order.
Rowan asked, "Is it some nobleman in this city?" β
The assassin was silent.
Luo Wen said again: "Actually, I really have nothing to do with the countess, I'm just a good citizen with a warm heart." β
The assassin laughed "sneering", who believes?
- That was his last thought.
After confirming his death, Rowan collected a lot of things from his body, the most of which were of course those explosive props.
"This must be a magic item, right? The power is okay, there are still a dozen pieces left in total, so I will keep it for the time being...... And then there's the rest...... Hopefully I'll find some clues. If you can't find a clue, then tomorrow you will have to go to the countess in person. After all, this is the fault she caused, and I have no interest in helping her take the blame. β
Then, Rowan continued to search, but all he found were some bits and pieces of tools used in the assassination.
Those props were miscellaneous, many of which had never been seen before, and Rowan couldn't even recognize them.
"Sure enough, it is basically impossible for these assassins who obey people's orders to leave obvious clues on their bodies."
Rowan was a little disappointed, but still patiently looked through it.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a card was pulled out of the inner pocket of the assassin's clothes!
"What is this?"
The material of that card is very special, and it is a little heavy to pick up, which is obviously unusual.
On the front of the card, there are three big words written clearly - "The City That Never Sleeps"!
This is a membership card for the city that never sleeps!
Since this assassin wanted to take refuge in the city that never sleeps, it would not be surprising that even if he carried the membership card of the city that never sleeps with him.
"It's not too useful, but with this card, I can at least find out who the assassin is! If I pretend to be him to enter the casino, maybe I can find more clues? For example, let the boss behind the scenes find me and take the initiative to contact me? β
Rowan tucked the card between his fingers and kept looking at it under the moonlight, gradually having a new idea in his heart.
"I'll take a look, what time is it?"
Next, he threw the body of the assassin into the misty forest, then went back to the small hut to report to Qin Ying that he was safe, drank some water, changed into clean clothes, and left the misty world again and appeared in the alley.
Only this time, he brought the animatronics with him.
The animatronic elf shrunk his body to the size of his fingers, then slipped into the bag on Rowan's chest, and following Rowan's instructions, he created a virtual livery on his body, disguising him as the dead assassin.
So it didn't take long for the guards of the city that never sleeps to see the man who had been chased by the dog running back again......
The man was covered in bruises, his clothes were torn, and his face was covered with blood, but he still escaped with his breath.
"Let me in!"
Rowan disguised himself as the assassin and yelled at the guards.
The guards ignored him or stopped him, allowing him to flee into the entrance with his "badly wounded body" in tow.
After Rowan entered the underground passage, one of the guards said, "Do you need to notify someone to collect the body?" Or notify the doctor? He looks like he's dying. β
The other guard sneered, "If you're dead, you're dead." It's not the first time someone has died inside. β
So, the guards stopped talking as if nothing had happened.
β¦β¦
After Rowan entered the passage, he found a place where no one was, and all the scars on his body disappeared, leaving only a shallow blood mark on his face, looking like a person who had been slightly injured, and his face was a little pale.
But apart from his face, he dismantled the virtual projection of other parts to avoid being touched and goofed.
After confirming that it was correct, Rowan walked out of the no-man's land and blended in with the crowd of people coming and going very naturally.
It's about four o'clock in the morning, which is the time when ordinary people sleep most soundly, but there are still many people in high spirits in the city that never sleeps.
There is so little entertainment in this world, and with the thrill and addiction of gambling, casinos are naturally one of the most popular entertainments.
The city that never sleeps is the kind of special formal casino backed by many big forces, and there are even almost all non-gambling entertainment facilities on the ground, which can fully satisfy the spirit of most people for a long time.
In fact, a considerable number of the big nobles lived directly in the city that never sleeps, living a luxurious life of spending a lot of money.
Rowan walked through a long passage and finally came to the inner gate of the city that never sleeps.
The inner gate is much stricter than the outer door, and you must get a membership card to enter.
In the casino, the membership card is equivalent to a combination of ID card and bank card, and it is also very convenient to withdraw and recharge money in a special facility.
After Rowan took out the assassin's membership card, the guards at the inner door placed the membership card on a crystal plate similar to a task board, and a few seconds later, the assassin's photo, pseudonym, and balance appeared on the crystal plate.
The photo is exactly the same as Luo Wen's current appearance, and the pseudonym is "Ximen Blowing", and the balance is as much as 320,000!
"Pretty rich......"
Rowan sighed in his heart, and after retrieving his membership card, he strolled into the city that never sleeps.
After decades of development, as the site of the city that never sleeps has grown, it has become less and less like a casino, and more like a dungeon with a different order from the ground.
Restaurants, grocery stores, ready-to-wear stores, fortune tellers, ...... A wide variety of storefronts, you will find it all here.
As soon as you enter the city that never sleeps, the first thing that catches your eye is not the casino, but a huge signboard erected on the side of the street!
The signboard had a simple map of the city that never sleeps, as well as ten rules that you must know when entering the city that never sleeps.
Rowan asked the electronic elf to record the map before looking at the ten rules.
First, there shall be no fighting.
Second, gambling is paramount.
Article 3, no thousands.
β¦β¦
Article 10: Repayment of debts.
"Although it has been rumored for a long time, I still feel a little incredible when I really see it. Regardless of the first rule used to maintain order, the second rule of gambling supremacy is the key rule that distinguishes this city that never sleeps from the earth, right? β
"In the city that never sleeps, no matter what you do, as long as both parties agree, you can use a fair gambling duel to decide success or failure. For example, if a restaurant guest wants to eat a bully meal, they can win through a gamble, and if they win, they don't have to pay, and if they lose, they pay double. β
"If you can get rid of the addictive nature of gambling, this is actually a very interesting world, but there is no such thing as ......"
Rowan doesn't like gambling and doesn't like it very much.
He played with the membership card in his hand, thinking about what he could do to get the attention of the messenger behind the scenes, so that he could take the initiative to approach.
"Well, you can't be too relaxed, you have to behave sadly, you're weak. Anyway, go find a place with a lot of people first. β
After a while, he came to a nearby place where a crowd gathered, where there was a large roulette wheel placed on the side of the street, unlike the complex Russian carousel, this large roulette wheel was very simple to play, that is, fill in each box with penalties and rewards, and every 100 yuan can be spun once.
"Isn't this the Wheel of Fortune?"
Rowan shook his head and stood outside and watched for a moment.
This big roulette wheel is just a small game, and the maximum reward is a reward of 1,000, and the relative maximum penalty is only 500 deductions.
It is precisely because of this misleading "reward is greater than punishment" that so many people come to play big roulette.
Rowan thought about it, squeezed into the crowd and turned around a little, and the result was directly transferred to the grid of five hundred rewards.
Five hundred minus one hundred, net four hundred.
Rowan sighed helplessly and retired.
"I've always felt like I'm lucky, but it's not until now that I feel like I'm feeling a little bit substantial! It's a pity that there are no lotteries in this world! β
In order not to bankrupt the shopkeeper, Rowan did not continue to turn around.
- The Emperor is so merciful!
Next, Rowan passed by a number of game stores, and although he gained a lot, he stopped at a shallow taste every time.
But even so, the deposit in his membership card is getting more and more!
"If this continues, will I be suspected of being out of the thousand?"
Seeing that the deposit in the membership card had doubled, Rowan could only reluctantly take out the "Adverse Luck Star", and then paste it on his body, and then continue to try the game.
And after that, he really started to have bad luck, kept losing money, and finally completed the small goal of breaking even.
"Sometimes it's too lucky, and it's hard work."
Rowan removed the Bad Luck Star, finally found a large casino, and immediately walked in.
[PS: Thanks to the 10,000 starting coins of the "Trumpet XC" of the "Reverse Luck Star", and thanks to the 500 starting coins of the "Book Friends 151015201004155" for the reward.] γ
