Chapter 59: Hidden Killing
Sophie put away the phone and lifted the 'catkins' state, walked a few steps forward with a frivolous step, held on to the wall with one hand and gasped violently, a little sweat wet the clothes attached to his back, he began to slowly inhale, exhale, inhale, adjust the scattered breathing rate, the effect and power of the six techniques of the dragon and snake are terrifying, but it is not something that normal people can use, if it were not for the special ability of 'Nirvana' to repair the necrotic body, and also have the considerable spiritual power cultivated by practicing Kundalini Yoga for many years, I am afraid that the body would have been abolished long ago.
He lowered his head and laughed at himself, looking at the big cocoon that was trembling slightly in the shadow under him, it seemed that he wanted to hatch the first demon out and enhance his strength, but the art of assassination and swordsmanship could not be put down, it was always good to have multiple hole cards in his hand, and swordsmanship and assassination were just right and strange, just complementary.
Assassination is treacherous, one hit misses, thousands of miles away.
Swordsmanship is the right way, a sword in hand, invincible.
After resting for nearly a quarter of an hour, and when her body and mind had almost recovered to a normal level, Sophie walked along the road to the outside, her pace unhurried, but his figure seemed erratic.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Sophie was often under a lush tree on the side of the road a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, she quietly appeared in the shadows four or five meters away, which was daunting.
Many people in the world believe in the old saying "hearing is false, seeing is believing", but sometimes, what the eyes see is not necessarily the truth, and this technique is to take advantage of human trust in the eyes and subjective consciousness to create an illusion.
There was silence all around.
The bustling neighborhood that used to be crowded with pedestrians has long since become empty, and the clean ground is full of clutter that people have no time to take care of when they run away, and cars are parked in the middle of the road. Occasionally, I can see a shocking pool of blood and minced meat, and from time to time there are a few sporadic gunshots, explosions and terrible screams in my ears, as if the whole city has become a ghost domain, I don't know which demon made a big deal, and what is the purpose, is it for Xu Nianqiao's girl? There is no problem on the Red Fish's side, which means that Xu Nianqiao is still safe for the time being.
Sophie was thinking in her heart, and suddenly her eyes moved, she raised her head and looked ahead, with her right hand behind her. There was immediately a gorgeous-looking Western-style dagger in his hand, and the cold light on the pale silver curved blade flowed.
This is one of Sophie's grandfather's treasured collections, and it is hard to say that it is as sharp as clay, but it is also an extremely sharp blade.
After a dozen seconds, a series of vague footsteps echoed over the street, which seemed very harsh in the quiet of the night. In Sophie's sight, a woman rushed towards her with her companion in her arms, and she seemed to have spotted Sophie, and there was obviously some surprise in her eyes. Even the pace was a little faster, and when she got closer, she was not disappointed to see Sophie's youthful image of a high school student, and her nervous expression relaxed. I know from my chest that there are only two kinds of people who dare to run on the street at this time, one is a neurotic who doesn't know whether to live or die, and the other is a demon hunter who has his own basis.
Looking at Sophie's calm posture and temperament, it is naturally the latter.
"Save us." The long-haired woman ran to Sophie's side with her companion in her arms, and she didn't even have time to catch her breath, so she held her breath and said something.
She did not continue to run away. Instead, he carefully laid his frail companion on the ground, a girl about the same age as Sophie, and a pretty face. has a heroic spirit that is not lost to men, but the pale face makes her look more weak, the girl has a capable ear-length short hair, the clothes on her body are also quite masculine, there is a tragic wound on the lower abdomen, and it is tied up with a few strips of cloth torn off by a few clothes, it is obvious that the person who started it is not very good, and the wound is still slowly oozing blood.
If it weren't for the girl's physique being strong enough, she would have been in shock a long time ago if she were an ordinary person.
Sophie was stunned, this woman was really unkind, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why should I save you." After thinking about it, I made up my mind to save them, I don't know how long it will take to return to Alcatraz Island, and it is convenient to make a good relationship with the natives of this world in the future, and there is also a reason why Sophie helped the exorcists of the two countries to solve the lizard demons before, not just for the pointer prop that detects the location of the demon, but also for the two women in front of him, although they look very wolf, but that temperament is by no means ordinary children.
"We'll repay you afterwards." A woman with shoulder-length black hair didn't expect Sophie to say such a thing, isn't it common sense for humans to work together to resist demons? It's a pity that the shape shì is stronger than a person, and it took a while to grit his teeth and say.
"After the fact? Your companion won't last more than ten minutes. Sophie squinted his eyes and said, in his spiritual perception, the life breath of the short-haired girl is weakening a little bit, and it will disappear completely after ten minutes without accident, and he is a little hesitant to take out such a thing, after all, it is just a meeting in Pingshui, and it is not clear about the temperament of the other party, if it is to save an ungrateful guy, it will be more than worth the loss.
The black-haired woman was stunned when she heard this, lowered her head and stared at the girl's wound that was still oozing blood, and her hands holding her couldn't help but tighten, and her eyes began to redden.
"Ahem, ahem, you must have a way to save me." The short-haired girl barely opened her eyes with a tired face, and the excessive blood loss made her usual clear mind gradually blurred, but she still heard the inconspicuous hesitation in Sophie's tone, Sophie is just a teenager who has been influenced by an assassin education after all, not those cunning old men, and can only be said to be better than ordinary people in terms of disguising her feelings, the short-haired girl is keenly aware of the slightest fluctuation of feelings, she fixed her eyes on Sophie, and said in a weak voice: "If you save me, I can do three things for you in the future, anything." ”
The short-haired girl emphasized the word 'anything' with all her strength at the end, and did not play any tricks like usual, there was a great terror between life and death, and she was certainly no exception.
The dark-haired woman with a delicate face also looked at Sophie pitifully, and it was very suitable to describe her as a sick and anxious doctor, but she did not do stupid things such as intimidation and threats.
"Take a gamble." Sophie muttered to herself, after the other party fulfilled the agreement, everyone was naturally happy, if she wanted to regret it, Sophie would also let the short-haired girl understand what the anger of a good person (assassin) was, pretending to reach into her pocket and take out an emerald green vessel and hand it to the black-haired woman, the emerald green liquid inside was full of an indescribable vitality, it was the healing potion he brought out from the previous mission world, and Sophie also wanted to see the effect of the healing potion, and the seventeen healing potions had not been tried since they arrived.
"Drink three-quarters of it, and the remaining quarter is dropped on the wound."
Sophie gave instructions according to the usage method of the iris boss told him in her memory, shook her head and said: "Don't look at me with suspicion, this is a very precious life-saving potion, usually even if I am injured, I am reluctant to use it, even if you don't trust me, do you have any other way now?" Now it's too late to send her to the hospital, so it's better to try my potion, she always has a chance to survive. ”
As for how much truth there is in these words, only Sophie herself knows.
The black-haired woman hesitated for a moment and took it, after all, in her cognition and common sense, there is no potion in the world that can cure the girl's Yan zhòng injury in a short time, but looking at the short-haired girl in her arms whose breath is getting weaker and weaker, she gritted her teeth, and while twisting the lid of the utensil to feed the emerald green potion to the girl, she chattered in a distracted voice: "If it doesn't work, our An family will definitely not let go of your young lady, you must survive that damn demon, I will definitely kill you in the future!" ”
Luckily, the short-haired girl still had some sanity and was able to swallow the potion normally.
Settle down? Miss? It seems that she is half right, it depends on whether the short-haired chick will fulfill her promise, and Sophie keenly captures the few words confided in the worried black-haired woman.
"Wait a minute or two for the potion to take effect, now we might as well talk about hunting down your demon, I'll be prepared later." Sophie thought for a moment and asked the black-haired woman, it would be better if she could get the demon's weakness.
The black-haired woman was lifting the short-haired girl's clothes and the strip of cloth that was wrapped around the wound, smearing the remaining emerald green potion on the hideous wound, hearing this, she couldn't help shaking her hands, suppressed her voice, and said with anger on her face: "That's an intermediate demon with monkey origin, the speed is very fast, a pair of claws can penetrate even steel, that damn demon is very cunning, extremely vindictive, likes to hide in the dark to sneak attack humans, if it weren't for the sneak attack while Miss was fighting with another demon, with Miss's strength, it wouldn't be so seriously injured." ”
"Hold grudges, be fast, have claws sharp enough to cut through steel, and like to sneak attack." Sophie sighed and rubbed her face with a headache, isn't this the way of an assassin, coupled with the demon's inhuman body, this monkey demon is estimated to be a difficult opponent even among the intermediate demons.
Because he was an Assassin, Sophie understood the horror of these kinds, and if he had a choice, he would not want to fight such an enemy.
"Wait, if it's fast, there's no reason why it hasn't caught up after so long, which means it's hiding nearby and ready to attack at any moment."
Sophie narrowed her eyes, her perception spreading out to her surroundings, and the only way now was to find it first. (To be continued......)
