Chapter 94: Cold and Rainy Night: Attacking from front to back
Anger can make people lose the ability to think calmly, but for a few people, in situations of extreme anger, the mind turns faster than usual.
It's so good to die, Catherine is just that kind of person.
The provocation that Lu Yu had accumulated all the way finally had the greatest effect at this time, but unfortunately, it was completely counterproductive.
"If that punch just now had been a little heavier, maybe it might have made me faint."
Catherine's face turned red, but her eyes became cold, and the sharpness hidden in it made Lu Yu shudder. Although the other party was a little injured at this time, Lu Yu clearly knew that she was even more difficult to deal with than when she first entered the 'door'.
What's worse is that my current situation is really worse than ever.
Catherine continued to analyze: "The continuous attacks just now are getting weaker and weaker, although part of it is because your physical strength is really decreasing, but most of the reason is that you want me to give me the illusion that you really can't make strong attacks anymore. For this, you even gave up a couple of decent counter-attack opportunities, which is really a lot of endurance. β
"After that, you took advantage of my momentary slackness and attacked my vital point with several times the force of the blow just now, but unfortunately due to the height gap, this punch actually didn't hit 100% of the parts you expected, and the strength was slightly insufficient, but it was already the best attack you could make."
Lu Yu smiled bitterly: "Are you praising me, I'm really flattered." β
Catherine sneered: "No, I mean, the best blows can't knock me down, you're dead." β
Her eyes drifted upwards and landed on the surveillance screen behind Lu Yu. In the battle just now, because Lu Yu had been standing in front of the monitor to defend in place, Catherine couldn't see the key screen he was blocking, and as soon as Lu Yu knelt on the ground, it was completely 'exposed'. Catherine just glanced at it unintentionally, but her face suddenly changed!
The basement where she had just stayed was empty!
The secret passage is still closed, but the young 'girl' who was supposed to be tied to the torture chair is gone! Catherine's mind quickly flashed all kinds of speculations, the secret passage was opened by a password, even if she didn't overhear the previous conversation, it was not ruled out that the person could find the password by himself, but at that time, she obviously locked the young 'girl' hands behind her back, and her feet were handcuffed to the chair again, could she have some kind of magic that could make her get out?
"Ah...... It's a hairpin! β
Catherine's mind flashed through those small and large hairpins, and all sorts of other knick-knacks. She didn't pay attention at the time, and in retrospect, it would have been strange for one person to carry so many ornaments, not to mention that when she caught the young 'girl', her head was almost clean except for a hairpin, unlike the kind of person who likes to 'get' a bunch of ornaments on her body.
Well, maybe the hairpin has another purpose......
As if seeing through what she was thinking at this time, Lu Yu said with a smile: "I said at the time, some daily necessities look inconspicuous, maybe they can play a big role here." β
"Is it capable of picking locks?"
Catherine no longer hesitated, raised the knife in her hand, shifted her weight slightly downward, and made a preparatory move to thrust forward.
"In other words, she's chasing after you right now, trying to get back and forth with you...... Looks like I can't delay any longer! β
Before she could finish speaking, the person had already rushed forward at full speed, and a cold light flashed in her hand, directly hitting Lu Yu's 'chest' and mouth. And Lu Yu knelt on one knee at this time, although his left hand barely grasped the edge of the table, he was unable to stand up again, and could only watch the other party get closer and closer, like an irresistible grim reaper.
"Miss, if you don't make a move, I'm really going to be killed by you." He smiled wryly.
The tip of the knife had been attached to the 'chest', and I could almost feel the chill coming from the skin under my clothes. At this moment, a black 'colored' short stick wrapped in rubber suddenly 'inserted' from the side, and Ge picked it up hard under the knife! This block is not comparable to Catherine in terms of strength, but it is wonderful in terms of force angle, just one touch, one pick, the direction of the power of the entire spike is reversed ninety degrees, towards the upward.
Catherine was almost thrown forward by this area, but fortunately, her reaction was not slow at this time, and she immediately kicked the ground with her right foot and jumped backwards, while her left hand was tucked in front of her, protecting the large gap that was 'exposed' from her chest.
The short stick picked up the knife and swung it head-on at Catherine. Only then did Catherine see the person holding the stick, and saw that she had long hair tied up, her face was ordinary, and only a pair of big eyes seemed to be smiling, which was particularly impressive. If it weren't for the speculation about the identity of the visitor early in the morning, Catherine really wouldn't have recognized this person as the 'woman' with a cloak that had just been dragged a few meters by herself in the basement.
But she couldn't think so much during the battle, and Catherine raised her left hand, her palm open as if she were grasping a short stick. The stick is covered with a layer of glue, and although it hurts when hit, it won't hurt much, as long as you can hold it back and seize the opportunity to hold it, you can snatch the opponent's weapon......
"It's naΓ―ve."
Mu Qingyu smiled, her wrist flipped slightly, and the short stick suddenly turned as if it suddenly came to life, attacking downward. This turn was extremely fast, and it was attacking the place where she had just 'exposed' the flaw, and Catherine was unable to defend herself for a while, and was beaten squarely. Although the rubber stick hit the body did not hurt much, the power was faithfully transmitted, Mu Qingyu took a step forward, raised his shoulders, and held the short stick with both hands at the same time, and violently forced, pushing Catherine back a few steps again and again.
The latter let out a muffled snort, gritted his teeth tightly to endure the pain, and jumped backwards with his sword, holding a knife in front of him, stabilizing the formation first.
Mu Qingyu succeeded in one blow, and did not pursue. She stood in front of Lu Yu and raised her hand to protect her 'chest', her eyes locked on the enemy, and asked without looking back: "Hey, it's okay." β
"Hmm...... Thank you for coming to the rescue...... That's weird! β
Lu Yu's tone in front of him was gentle, and when he said the last three words, he suddenly became high-pitched. At this time, the clothes in front of his 'chest' had been dissolved by the knife just now, and there was a faint blood mark on his skin, which was oozing blood slightly, which was cut when the knife was picked up just now. Looking at it like this, if Mu Qingyu had been a second and a half late just now, he would probably have been pierced in the heart.
"Hey, I just saved you." Mu Qingyu glanced back at him, "You have this attitude towards life-saving benefactors?" β
"If you hadn't been grinding, this matter would have been solved a long time ago!" Lu Yu said dissatisfiedly, "And the opportunity was so good just now, she didn't notice behind her at all, why didn't she sneak attack directly from behind!" 'Snap' at the neck or the back of the head, won't all the problems be solved! β
"I'm not afraid that she will hurt you when she falls forward!"
"I think it's because you enjoy the feeling of a hero coming out at the last second......" Lu Yu complained with a humble eye.
was broken by a word, and Mu Qingyu was rarely silent. Seizing this gap, Catherine finally had a chance to say something. I saw that she 'forced' a step forward, first sneered, and then said: "Hmph, what if there is one more person, just rely on your ......"
As if reminded of something by Catherine, who spoke, Mu Qingyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she raised her hand to point at Catherine.
"Wait! What qualifications do you have to say about me! You didn't wait until the last minute in the basement to reveal her identity! This could have been done a long time ago, wasn't it? β
"You're still struggling with that! Judging by the results, isn't it 'pretty good'! β
"Then I'm not bad at the result!"
"I'm bleeding, Miss!"
"It's just a small red mark, it's not called bloodshed at all, okay!"
In the originally tense atmosphere, the two men simply ignored Catherine, and instead fought over there. Suddenly, there was a hint of embarrassment in this small security room.
Catherine stood there for a while, and when she couldn't take it anymore, she raised her knife and rushed forward. "Since you don't come up, let me go! Suffer death! She yelled and pounced.
"It's noisy!"
The two shouted in unison. Catherine only felt a 'flower' in front of her, and Mu Qingyu's figure suddenly turned around and disappeared from her sight. And Lu Yu, who was originally blocked by her, just raised his foot at this time and kicked towards him, and before he could think about it, the knife in Catherine's hand pressed down slightly and met Lu Yu's kick.
(etc....... Why am I doing this...... Isn't the other side more threatening...... οΌ
The thought crossed Catherine's mind, but she couldn't stop moving. The two quarreled with each other, but when it came to cooperation, they had an amazing tacit understanding. Mu Qingyu's flash and Lu Yu's kick coincided just right, immediately locking all Catherine's attention, and for a moment, she actually forgot about Mu Qingyu's existence.
And this momentary negligence became the cause of her defeat.
Mu Qingyu flashed to her side, followed the direction of the other party's forward rush, and quickly swung the short stick in her left hand towards the back of her neck!
