Outside the door.

Nightingale had already drawn his dagger from his waist.

He is a level 2 Shadow Mage.

Due to his limited energy, so far, he has only cultivated two dark spells to the peak.

One is one of the three basic spells of the Shadow Mage, the Trickery Style.

The other is the Shadow Mage's advanced magic, the Trick Lock.

Neither trickery nor Skylock was offensive magic, and compared to the destructive elemental magic, his magic seemed to be not only frivolous, but also lethal.

It does look like this.

But it's not for nothing that systems in the Empire love Shadow Mages.

Because they are elusive, whether it is an assassination mission or a protection mission, the success rate is often several times higher than that of mages with other attributes, especially in war, they can even assassinate enemy mages without knowing it.

As everyone knows.

The reason why mages are not afraid of professionals is that they can use eerie or destructive magic to attack from a distance, while they also have mage's shield and various defensive spells to keep them safe.

However, many of the Shadow Mage's magics are concealed while ignoring the Mage's Shield.

Even if you're a mage.

If you don't take precautions in war, there's a good chance you'll get your throat slit by a shadow mage in the next second.

The nightingale is ready.

He picked up the dagger, and the spellcasting medium on his chest had begun to glow.

As soon as Vega opened the door.

He himself has already entered the latent state using trickery, and will simultaneously release the Sky Lock to restrain Vega's ability to move, and then slowly approach Vega's body within the effective time of the Sky Lock's disappearance, gently slashing his throat.

Cat playing mouse?

Let's play cat and mouse!

He loved to look at his dying prey, and he couldn't help but look at it again and again as he died, especially the warm blood that spurted out of his throat when he slit.

Da Da Da –

It's footsteps.

That's right, it's the footsteps of the prey.

And voila.

The naïve and stupid antelope is walking with easy steps, and he is the cheetah that has been lurking for a long time.

It's close.

It's already close.

As a seasoned hunter, he knew that a little patience was needed, otherwise even the slightest extra move could scare away the prey that was about to fall into the trap.

3、

2、

Da Da Da –

Just as the nightingale was about to count 1 silently, there was another sound of footsteps.

Whose footsteps are this?

This is definitely not the footsteps of the prey.

Turn your head.

He saw that it was a stupid teammate who was coming to the aid with a group of even more stupid trash.

Teammate?

Support?

Scold!

Assassins don't need teammates, they are outliers and lone wolves, so powerful because they are lonely.

Sometimes, teammates will only make the game more difficult for him.

An analogy?

The current situation is probably enough to prove everything.

Bang.

The nightingale raised her hand and made a quiet gesture.

But it was too late, and there was a popping sound inside the door.

————

Vega frowned and walked to the door.

He was unguarded, and he did not perceive that this was a trap for the nightingale.

He was even speculating about what questions Bruno would ask him later, and how he would deal with him so as not to make him suspicious.

Da Da Da –

It was the sound of his crisp footsteps.

There is no deliberate effort to lower it, nor to deliberately pull it up, it's just the usual footsteps.

Near,

It's close enough to the doorknob.

1 second, 2 seconds......

His hand was almost on the doorknob.

As with the previous meeting with Ori, this was just an ordinary action beforehand.

Although he didn't like the nightingale, and was even a little jealous of him, in order not to make the other party suspicious, he needed to open the door for the guy he hated and say hello in as kind a tone as possible.

It's just a no-brainer.

But in the third second, there was another sound of footsteps.

Da Da Da –

It didn't sound like the footsteps of a person, but like a squad, no, the footsteps of a squad of professionals.

Why would you guess all this through the door?

Because the body of professionals has been nourished by magic for a long time, even when they are not using magic power, their physical fitness and strength are greater than that of ordinary people, and the sound of ordinary footsteps is one of the most obvious characteristics.

Why are there pro squads?

Between the flashes of lightning, Vega recalled the scene downstairs when the mage team blocked the exit.

Even the law enforcement team is not allowed to enter or leave.

Now the footsteps of the professional team were heard outside the door again, and even the shadow mage Nightingale was waiting for him to open the door to the room, was it all too much of a coincidence.

Don't blame him for being suspicious.

It is understandable that there are one or two coincidences in the world, but when so many coincidences are superimposed, Vega has to wonder if this is a real coincidence, or a deliberate premeditation against him.

Without any hesitation.

Vega immediately picked up the decorative vase from the sideboard and threw it in the direction of the window.

Bang –

The vase and the glass window were gone, and they fell downstairs.

Nightingale crashed into Vega's door as soon as possible, but all that came into view was the broken windows and the curtains fluttering in the wind, and the room was empty.

"Hmph. ”

First glared angrily at Ori, who had come to the aid with a team of professionals, and then the nightingale immediately came to the window and looked outside.

This is the seventh floor.

Normally, with the exception of wind mages, falling from such a high place will hurt even if they don't die.

The nightingale first looked towards the bottom.

When there was no trace of Vega, he commanded Ori behind him: "Captain Ori, now please use the temporary authority of Level 2 given to you by the Director of the Bureau to immediately investigate the 6th, 5th, and 4th floors of the General Administration of Law Enforcement, and no blind spots are allowed to be spared!"

"Yes. ”

Ori hurriedly responded.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the pro team hurried out the door after him.

After giving Orry's orders, the nightingale jumped from the window as soon as possible.

Let's go.

He landed firmly on the sixth floor, but he had already activated the trickery.

According to Nightingale's guess, Vega must have heard footsteps outside the door, guessed that his identity had been exposed, and then escaped through the window, but the 7th floor of the General Administration of Law Enforcement was more than 25 meters, and Vega must not have fallen on the first floor.

Other words.

Vega jumped out of the window, the biggest chance is to land on the 6th, 5th, 4th floor, no matter how low it is, even shadow mages and ordinary professionals can't get rid of the gravitational pull of the center of the earth and forcibly change the direction of their fall in the air.

It is common sense to assume that this is indeed the case.

But after a few hours, the nightingale noticed that the group had turned the 6th, 5th, and 4th floors upside down, and there was no trace of Vega.

The only thing to rejoice in now is.

Vega did not escape from the General Enforcement Bureau, as the surrounding area of the General Enforcement Bureau had been completely cordoned off by the Wizard Squad.
