Chapter 496: News
Regardless of the reason for being wanted, as long as the wanted warrant for the bounty is put out, other problems are no longer an issue. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Right now, the most important thing is not what Jason has done, but where he might be hiding.
Don't underestimate the mercenaries, this group of people who have been dealing with death for a long time, and those who don't have a close mind will die long ago.
Jason's ability to make such a big name in the south of the city can explain a lot of problems in itself, and it is not so easy to find him.
"Jason is a bold and careful man, not just me who says that, everyone who has met him thinks so."
"Jason grew up watching me, and I persuaded him to become a soldier, but he didn't like to be taken care of, and he didn't think he could get a knighthood, which I always regretted."
"I'm a friend of Jason's, but I haven't seen him in half a year, and you know, he's an old mercenary who won't tell anyone about himself."
"Boy, Jason's bounty is mine, do you want to steal business from me?"
"Jason used to like me a lot, but I haven't seen him in a long time, and he seems to have a girl he loves again."
If you want to find Jason, you have to have news about Jason, and Wu Ming has been working hard for this for the past few days.
However, he didn't gather much information, and Jason was usually a very cautious person, never revealing what he was going to do, as well as his hidden hole cards.
Jason is known to be very fond of the East Side of the City, a nighthaea named Mana.
Wu Ming found this Mana, but in the end, he got the news that Jason hadn't come to her for a long time, as if he had a new love, and no one knew that the woman was water.
"Bold, doesn't like to be restrained, cautious by nature, what a cunning fox."
At Jason's home, Wu Ming wore white gloves and groped around the room.
He wasn't the first to come here, and he won't be the last.
Just look at the empty house, Jason had expected this step before he was wanted.
The room was clean, all the valuables were gone, there was not even a single piece of paper in the house, only a pile of ashes in the fireplace, silently telling the past.
"Knock knock...", a finger tapped against the wall, and a muffled knocking sound was heard.
The walls are not hollow, nor are the floors, indicating that there are no secret compartments or secret rooms or anything like that.
Wu Ming's heart was full of regrets, and he was even wondering if Jason had already left Tiprague at this time. However, according to the clues that have come in the past few days, Jason does not seem to have left, but has lurked and waited for something.
In the past few days, the outside world has been going crazy that Jason got a very precious thing from the City Lord's Mansion.
What that thing is, no one knows for the time being, only that in addition to the mercenaries on the surface, the people from the City Lord's Mansion are also investigating this matter.
You must know that the lord of the city of Tiprague is the object of the loyalty of the Percival family, the Count of Cullen, who has a reputation for cruelty.
Count Cullen is a second-turn berserker with a class level of 12, and belongs to the repressive side of the Imperial Minister.
Jason, who is only level 4, can actually steal an extremely precious treasure from Count Cullen's mansion.
If this is not fake news, I am afraid that there are other insiders, otherwise simply by stealing, even if you let the lurker Noth come over, you may not be able to steal a precious treasure from the Earl's Palace.
"In Jason's wanted warrant, there is no mention of treasures, not to mention that the rumors cannot be fully believed, so it is difficult to say what is going on. However, these are not for me to consider, I just need Jason's head to complete the task and get the bounty of 500 gold coins. While thinking about it, Wu Ming walked to the edge of the windowsill and suddenly felt the feeling of being spied on.
Even if the current Wu Ming is just a divine thought reincarnated, because of the relationship between the essence of the soul, he still has extraordinary senses.
In an instant, he knew that someone was watching him from the outside, and there was hostility in his eyes.
With this feeling, Wu Ming turned around seemingly disapprovingly, but in fact, the corner of his eye swept by, sweeping the scenery outside the window.
Jason's residence is not a single-family estate, and there are many neighbors around.
In Wu Ming's sight, there were two families across the street, and the direction of the window was facing Jason's house, and the hostile gaze he felt came from the attic of one family.
Whether it was watching, or Jason himself, Wu Ming instantly had two ideas.
If it is another mercenary, the watcher who stays behind can be understood as a companion with hostile eyes, which can be understood as a rival.
On the other hand, if this gaze is Jason himself, then it is funny, Jason not only did not leave, but hid from everyone again, and even the people who came to find him were under his surveillance.
"Interesting!" Wu Ming pretended to find nothing, left Jason's house, and touched it from the other direction.
Although this gaze is not necessarily Jason himself, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he must go over and take a look.
Rather kill mistakes than let go, this is Wu Ming's style of acting.
If you want to blame, blame the person on the other side for having too low a vision and not understanding to a certain level, not to mention this kind of secret peeping, even if you glance at it at random, you can't escape the attention of the strong.
Fifty meters, thirty meters, ten meters...
Wu Ming changed his direction and came to the hiding place of the peeping man in a very hidden posture.
Contrary to what he thought, this house has an owner, and the owners are an old couple.
When Wu Ming lurked into the courtyard, the old lady was making pumpkin pie, and the old man was lying in the courtyard basking in the sun, looking complacent. I don't know if it was the lurker who hid in the attic who bought off the old couple, or if the lurker himself sneaked in and even deceived the old couple.
"The pumpkin pie I made the day before yesterday seems to have been taken away by the neighbor's cat, and several pieces are missing." The old woman who was making pumpkin pie complained without looking back.
Hearing his wife's words, the old woman lying on the rocking chair was very puzzled, and said strangely: "You remember wrong, the cat next door has long been lost, and now he has a dog!" ”
"Am I mistaken?" The old lady may have been a little confused, and muttered in a low voice: "No, I obviously heard a cat meowing, could it be a wild cat?" ”
After careful observation for a while, Wu Ming felt that the latter was probably the majority, because the leisurely faces of the old couple were all expressions of life, and this feeling could not be pretended.
"Hehe, Jason, I found you!" Wu Ming could already conclude that the lurker hiding in the attic should be Jason himself.
Except for Jason himself, no one would put so much thought into lurking in an ordinary old man's house, always keeping an eye on the changes on the other side.
Moreover, if it was done by a mercenary, it would be impossible not to miss a flaw.
After all, the mercenaries are outsiders, and they dare not guarantee that the attic on the second floor is safe.
If the old couple often go to the second floor, the so-called lurking is a joke, and only the people who have been with each other for a long time can be familiar with each other's life rules and dare to guarantee that the attic will not be disturbed.
The sound of footsteps was as soft as a cat, Wu Ming held his breath, suppressed his heartbeat, and slowly walked up to the attic on the second floor.
In the attic, it seems that no one has cleaned up for a long time, and although it is well lit, there is a faint smell of decay.
In Wu Ming's sight, a bald man was leaning against the wall, staring cautiously outside, and there was a half-eaten pumpkin pie at his feet, which was obviously the one that the old woman had lost.
"Who?" Even if Wu Ming suppressed it repeatedly, he didn't have stealth skills after all, and at such a close distance, the bald head still sensed that something was wrong.
The bald head held the short knife in one hand and suddenly looked back.
The two looked at each other for a moment, the bald man didn't say a word, and pounced directly with a short knife, and Wu Ming also confirmed his identity.
"Jason!" Wu Ming took a step back, dodging the short knife in Jason's hand, with a cold smile on his face.
Jason missed the blow, as if he was also taken aback, and whispered, "You're here to kill me?" ”
Without waiting for Wu Ming to answer, the second knife quickly slashed, obviously this sentence itself was used to attract Wu Ming's attention.
Wu Ming was not attracted, but Jason's speed attribute was two or three times that of him, and even if he sensed the other party's intentions, his own reaction ability was still a step slower.
... Multiply...
The blade slashed through his clothes, and Wu Ming dodged very dangerously, and he was almost disemboweled.
By this time, he already knew that one-on-one, even if he was more experienced, could not reverse the huge difference in attributes.
However, Wu Ming is not worried about anything, as the saying goes, there are no three-thirds, how dare you go to Liangshan.
He knew the difference in attributes between the two sides, but he still dared to come to the door this time, so he naturally had his own confidence.
"Soul Shock!" Wu Ming glared angrily, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, on the career panel he owned, a battle message was refreshed.
"You have activated your Innate Shock Ability on the target, Shock Level 18, and the judgment is in progress...... Ding, the target failed to pass the judgment, the deterrence is real and effective, and the target is in the deterrent effect. ”
According to the division of the technological world, life has different levels, which are divided into higher beings and lower beings.
After being reincarnated, Wu Ming's body belonged to a low-level being, but his soul was still in the range of a high-level being, which naturally came with some kind of power.
The moment their eyes met, Wu Ming used his soul power to carry out an impact on Jason that was similar to dragon power, or divine coercion.
The effect is obvious, although Jason's physical fitness is higher than him, his soul essence is 108,000 miles behind, and he will be hit with a pair of eyes.
"Fearful existence, please don't kill me, I'll give you whatever you want."
One second he was going to fight and kill, and the next second later, Jason was so frightened that he was incontinent, and his whole person collapsed on the ground.
Wu Ming's situation was not very good, he forcibly launched the soul shock, and his physical body had a tendency to collapse.
You know, if the soul is the core, then the body is the exorcism.
The core is too strong, and the physical body loses the power of restraint, Wu Ming suspects that if there is another soul shock at this time, his body will have to collapse.
"It seems that this trick can't be used much, it can only be used as a hole card to save my life, otherwise my body can't bear it."
Weak and sore, Wu Ming leaned against the wall so that he did not fall, and said with difficulty: "Say, what treasure did you steal from the Earl's Palace?" ”
Don't look at Wu Ming as the end of the crossbow, but Jason has already been frightened, and he doesn't dare to resist in shock.
Hearing such a question, Jason replied tremblingly like a frightened kitten, "Lord Hui, I didn't steal anything, but I heard a message." ”
