Chapter 30: The Pursuit
Zheng Jiuye just jumped down for about a second, and No. 4 and the girl who didn't know the name jumped down together.
"This way."
The girl was the first to speak, and then rushed out in one direction on her own; Zheng Jiuye was stunned for a moment, and then followed closely behind, following the path that the girl chose.
"It's here, indeed...... It's just that I don't know how far those guys have run," Zheng Jiuye picked up a few broken ropes from the ground behind him as he ran, "Cut, it's fast enough......"
A place like the sewer is indeed not suitable for Zheng Jiuye's exercise...... This kind of single passage can't quickly approach others by climbing over terrain and the like, and simple running is indeed not Zheng Jiuye's strong point.
When Zheng Jiuye and No. 4 ran around the corner after the girl with the blindfold, the girl with the blindfold stopped.
"That guy went up from here."
The girl pointed to a manhole cover that had been opened.
"In this case, you shouldn't be able to catch up, right?" Zheng Jiuye was stunned for a moment, "After all, after going out, just find a union and hide ......."
The situation where a person can be seen from a high place is limited to the outdoors where the other person has a good view; Moreover, except for the Assassin Guild, the other unions of the seven major trade unions have a considerable area of public area, so if you casually enter a public area, Zheng Jiuye will have nothing to do.
"No...... You can still catch up. ”
The girl with the blindfold shook her head and climbed out of the ladder first; Immediately after, Zheng Jiuye sighed helplessly, and also climbed up from the ladder with the girl with an eye patch.
"I said, how the hell are you chasing ......?"
Zheng Jiuye just climbed up with him, and before he finished speaking, the girl ran out directly in one direction: "Follow me, go this way." ”
“……”
In the sewers before, Zheng Jiuye didn't see any clues or anything like that that might be left behind, but she directly chose a path; Judging by this situation...... Let's believe him for once.
Zheng Jiuye sighed and ran over as well.
"Anyway, according to what Hassan said, I'm actually already losing......"
If it was just about the ability to ask for the enemy, Zheng Jiuye would have been completely defeated.
"Come in from here, and then go down this small alley," Seeing Zheng Jiuye follow, the girl continued to lead the way in front, "It should be right here......"
!!
At the same time, two people with machetes and machetes slashed in the direction of the girl jumped out at the same time on the left and right sides of the alley; But the girl didn't know anything, and continued to run inside, and she didn't react at all when she saw that her body was about to hit the machete.
"What are you kidding......!"
Zheng Jiuye's body turned red almost instantly—immediately after, Zheng Jiuye threw the crowbar in his hand and hit one of them directly in the head; Immediately after Zheng Jiuye, he stepped forward violently, pushed the girl away hard, and then turned the wrist of his right hand over, using the metal in the Hidden Blade to successfully block the attack of the other person.
"That's ...... at all"
After Zheng Jiuye blocked the machete of the second person, he directly raised his leg and kicked that person to the wall; Just as Zheng Jiuye solved this wave of sneak attacks and relaxed his spirit a little, the murderer Eks on the wanted list had almost approached Zheng Jiuye's body from above.
"Got it—"
At the moment when Ex's blade was about to touch Zheng Jiuye's scalp, a subtle sound of breaking the air came from Zheng Jiuye's side.
The unidentified object that rotated at high speed accurately hit the machete that almost killed Zheng Jiuye, and forcibly pushed the machete away from the top of Zheng Jiuye's head; Immediately after, the second sound of breaking the air came, and then Ex's forehead was hit by the same object, and after provoking a trace of blood, the whole person was attacked by that object and flew up.
"Won't you...... Is that a solitaire card? ”
Inserted in Ex's forehead, it was a card that killed Exx with a single shot.
Different from the usual game cards, the card was painted with some strange black and white oil paints that Zheng Jiuye couldn't understand; Zheng Jiuye, who realized who had thrown the cards, turned around and saw that No. 4 had drawn two more cards from his pocket, and then continued to raise his hand.
With two subtle sounds of breaking the air, the foreheads of the two people who had been knocked unconscious by Zheng Jiuye jumped out next to them were also pierced by cards, obviously dead and couldn't die anymore.
"Wait a minute...... Those people aren't targets, are they? Although it also attacked us, it is not on the wanted list, so it will not be ......."
The expression on Four's face instantly turned indifferent.
"Just these people? This stinky rat in the sewer? Are you kidding...... Do you think there will be any rats that will be beneficial to humans? ”
“……”
It's not appropriate to complain at this time, but you've probably never heard of mice used in the lab......
And in any case, Four's words are too heavy.
But there is one more thing that Zheng Jiuye cares about very much. Why didn't the girl react from the beginning? Although it is true that she is wearing an eye patch, it does not look like she can't see anything from her previous actions; But when the knife was about to slash on the body, there was no reaction at all......
"Even if you win this time...... Come with me! ”
No. 4 said to Zheng Jiuye, followed by stepping forward and grabbing the girl's hand strongly, turning around directly and dragging the girl out of the alley.
"That, thank you just now......"
When the girl was dragged to Zheng Jiuye's side, she turned her head and said to Zheng Jiuye; But before he finished speaking, he was dragged away directly by No. 4.
"The whole process is really inexplicable...... And don't you even want a goal? It's worth two hundred gold coins. ”
Zheng Jiuye looked down at the body of Exx, who fell to the ground and was killed by a card directly nailed to his head, and was said to be the murderer of serial rape and murder, and sighed helplessly.
"Stop, don't move! You are suspected of malicious murder, follow me...... Hey, is that you? ”
Just when Zheng Jiuye was still thinking about how to bring this corpse back to the union, Wei Wei's surprised shout suddenly came from behind Zheng Jiuye.
“…… I said I certainly didn't do it, but do you believe it? Zheng Jiuye was speechless and pointed to the playing cards on the corpse, "Then again, but you happened to pass by here on patrol?" ”
When Zheng Jiuye made an escape route map before, he remembered that there was no patrol line near this small alley.
"It's not...... That's why I came because someone reported the crime," Yuwei was stunned, and then replied, "But I really didn't expect it to be you......"
"That's why I didn't do it...... Do you think I can have that kind of strength? ”
The problem is too big...... How long has it been? If you consider the time it took for Yuwei to arrive here from headquarters, someone should have called the police while he was still in the sewers.
It's not an early question at all, is it? Exactly before you even get to the alley...... Is someone targeting someone? Is it against Number Four, himself or the girl?
"It doesn't look like you did it, though...... But since you're the only one there, come with us. ”
Wei Wei gestured at Zheng Jiuye.
Zheng Jiuye: "......"
