Chapter 163: Failed Assassination
The Animus device, which was once developed by Sofia in order to obtain the Golden Apple from the genetic memories of the Assassin's descendants, has changed fundamentally since the restarted Animus project.
Sophia's purpose now was only to perfect the Animus device, as it was something Ye Qianhu needed. Sophia had become disillusioned with the Templars after learning her father's true purpose, and all she had to do now was use the Templars' financial and technical support to complete the Animus device that met Ye Qianhu's request.
However, in order to accomplish this, what she had to do almost exactly coincided with the needs of the Templars, and the Templars would not notice the anomaly.
As described in the documents at the time, two days later, the new Animus installation was completed in the Abstergo corporate building.
"Research on the second-generation Animus has already begun, and if successful, there will be no need for ancillary equipment such as robotic arms, and the space required will be greatly reduced."
In a huge white room that spans two floors, Sophia looked at the huge Animus device in front of her and introduced the idea of a new Animus device to Ye Qianhu.
"The second-generation Animus device doesn't require the experimenter to do the same actions as in their genetic memories in reality, they just need to lie there quietly as if they were sleeping, and after completing the neural connection, they can start synchronizing their memories."
The surrounding staff were almost accustomed to the presence of Ye Qianhu beside Sophia, but in their senses, Ye Qianhu, the nominal bodyguard, did not seem to fit the image of the bodyguard in their minds. Shouldn't those bodyguards all wear sunglasses and follow their employers silently all day long?
However, in their opinion, Ye Qianhu seemed to be a little, too casual.
Ye Qianhu listened to Sophia's explanation, but observed these staff around him without a trace, a cold light flashed in his eyes, there are really people who can't open their eyes to send them to death!
The door to the room suddenly opened, and an old woman with a somewhat stern and dignified countenance entered, dressed in black with a distinct red cross on her collar.
Behind her, there were two old men who were also dressed in black, as well as the security personnel led by Javier, who was still in the unnatural swing of his arms because of his injury, and his face was still the iconic look of taciturn.
As soon as the group entered, the security personnel spontaneously distributed throughout the room.
Sophia was a little surprised, and said to the old man, "Your Excellency." ”
The old man nodded, and said, "The Council of Elders and I are very concerned about your project, and if you don't mind, we hope to be able to witness the Animus launch again." ”
Sophia went to greet the three old men and introduce the progress of the Animus, but Ye Qianhu did not follow, and stood side by side with Javier, and said in a low voice, "Some troublemakers have come in." There's one on top, the one fiddling with the tablet, and two people on the bottom, one pretending to check the Animus device, and the other in the direction of five o'clock. ”
Javier's face changed slightly, and he immediately retracted his expression, but his body was already quietly tense.
Ye Qianhu reminded Javier and walked in Sophia's direction, the man in the white uniform of the insiders stood underneath the Animus device with his back to Ye Qianhu, and his position was just separating Ye Qianhu from Sophia.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, the man subconsciously glanced at it, and saw Ye Qianhu walking straight towards Sophia, and he was not surprised, after all, he also knew that this person was Sophia's bodyguard.
However, just as Ye Qianhu passed by him, Ye Qianhu's left leg suddenly lifted and kicked the crook of his leg, the man snorted, and the leg that was kicked fell to his knees all of a sudden.
Although he didn't expect Ye Qianhu's sudden move, with an inconspicuous clicking sound, a sharp Hidden Blade popped out under the sleeve of his left hand, however, at the moment when the Hidden Blade popped out, Ye Qianhu had already slapped a palm knife on his neck.
In just one moment, the sound of bones breaking came from the man's neck.
Just when Ye Qianhu made a move, the battle behind him had already begun, Javier was silent and suddenly pounced on a staff member behind him, the staff member was a little flustered on his face, but a hidden blade popped out under his sleeve for the first time, but before he could stab Javier, he was grabbed by Javier's arm with a hidden blade, and then pulled it to the side and back, and his knee was raised and slammed into this person's lower abdomen!
The man who was attacked by Javier made a painful sound in his throat, and his body curled up because of the pain in his abdomen, and Harveen roared angrily, and his right hand clenched into a fist and slammed into the man's back, smashing him to the ground.
There was no room for this man to fight back, and after Javier smashed this man, he drew the bayonet on his waist as fast as he could to attack the assassin on the ground!
The face of the man who looked fiddling with the tablet on it changed suddenly, and he didn't expect the exposure of his companion, let alone that his companion would be at an absolute disadvantage from the beginning. His face was stunned, and he directly let go of the computer in his hand with both hands, and pointed his right arm straight to Sophia below.
A Hidden Arrow flew out from under his sleeve with a thud, but at this time, Ye Qianhu had already solved his goal, his body took a step forward like lightning, and his right hand accurately grabbed the Hidden Arrow flying in the air!
Looking at the assassin above indifferently, the Hidden Arrow in his hand had been thrown back by him in the next moment, and the speed was even faster when it was fired, so that when the Hidden Arrow was still shocked that someone could grab the Hidden Arrow with his bare hands, the Hidden Arrow had already pierced deep into his throat!
"Uh..." At this moment, holding the sleeve arrow that pierced into the red, blood kept flowing out between the palms of his hands, and the strength of his body was also rapidly draining.
But the man was still not dead, as if he was drunk, holding on to the wall with one hand, leaving traces of blood on the polished wall, and staggering to try to escape with the last of his strength.
Ye Qianhu glanced at it and ignored it, the security personnel under Javier had already rushed up, and he had no way to escape.
Speaking of which, these assassins are really good at hiding themselves.
At first, Ye Qianhu didn't even notice the abnormality of these three people, until he found that the person above looked towards Sophia from time to time, and then turned on Eagle Vision, and soon found the three assassins who were marked as red by Eagle Vision.
It's ironic that an ability that originally belonged to an assassin is now used to kill an assassin.
