Chapter 17: The Killer (2)

After the killer was restrained by Starlight, Snub Star lifted his invisibility spell and gently walked up to the restrained killer and looked at the killer. At this time, the killer was still a certain distance away from Don Juan and the others, and the starlight he emitted was obscured by heavy dead trees, which would not wake Don Juan and them. Snub Xing breathed a sigh of relief, if he just wanted to kill this killer silently, Snub Xing could easily do it, but if he wanted to capture this killer quietly without Tang Juan and the others noticing, it would still be a big challenge for him. Thankfully, he managed to capture the killer in the end.

The killer was dressed in black, and his face was covered by a black scarf, as if he had blended into the night, and if it were not for the starlight, it would not have been visible to the naked eye. What surprised Snub the most was that the killer was a woman, and her graceful figure was vividly outlined by the black tights on her body. At this moment, seeing the cold star coming, her eyes showed a look of shock.

She was ordered to assassinate the people of the Snub Star, but the information she got only said that the highest of this group of people was only the ninth level peak, and she had confirmed this before, so she had absolute confidence in this mission. But at this moment, she was restrained by a strange magic, and she couldn't move at all, she was a heaven-level cultivator, and she could do this level of magic, at least it was heaven-level magic. In other words, this Snub Star is at least a heaven-level magician, and considering that Snub Star is quietly approaching and using magic to restrain her without her being aware of it at all, its true strength is at least at the level of the saint-level, which is completely inconsistent with the information obtained.

Snub Xing walked up to the female killer, raised his right hand, and tapped it lightly on her chest, and then a silver light poured in from the female killer's chest, sealing her cultivation, and she could no longer use a little fighting energy. Then, Snub Star retracted the starlight that bound the female killer, allowing the female killer to regain her mobility. She can't use her fighting energy now, that is, her physical strength is relatively strong, so Snub Star is not worried that she will run away at all, and now she is unrestrained because she can speak, so that Snub Star can ask the person behind the killer. Although he didn't know which nobleman the other four people came from, he could guess that none of them came from ordinary backgrounds, so it was possible that one of their political enemies did this. And being able to send a heaven-level killer shows that the ability of the person who sent this killer is not small, so it is even more necessary to figure out who is directing this killer to come.

The female killer obviously understood that she couldn't escape from the snub star, so when the snub star had just untied her, she immediately raised the dagger coated with poison in her hand and plunged it into her heart!

It's just that at this moment, the female killer's face under the face towel has turned blue, and it is obvious that the poison has begun to spread. When Snub Star saw this scene, he immediately emitted a silver light, shining on the female killer's body. Seeing that the cyan on the face of such a female killer gradually turned to purple, Snub Xing's eyebrows furrowed, his magic has the ability to purify and heal, although it is instantaneous, but with his cultivation, it is generally enough to temporarily curb the spread of poison, but the poison on this female killer's dagger is obviously extremely poisonous, and it is difficult for his magic to even barely stop the spread of the toxin. However, the trauma to her heart has stabilized, and although she has lost a lot of blood, it is already guaranteed that she will not die from excessive blood loss.

Snub Star opened his mouth and gently recited the incantation. Generally speaking, magic spells are in the native language, which is not only easy to memorize, but also easier to understand. However, if anyone could hear the incantation that Snub Star was pronouncing at this time, they would see that it did not seem to be the language of any known race at all. Compared to the language of the Terrans, this language is a little more beautiful, but it is a little cold compared to the notoriously beautiful Elven language. The connection between each sound of the language is also strange, not as smooth as in Elvish, but with a pause after a few sounds. Still, when the snub slowly recites the language, one can still feel its charm.

As Snub Star's spell turned sharp, the silver starlight emanating from his hand gradually became more pure, and it seemed that even the real starlight was inferior. When this purer starlight fell on the female killer, the toxins that were raging everywhere in her body were purified at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, and the wound on her chest that had stopped bleeding was slowly healing. Snub Xing thought about it again, picked up the highly poisonous dagger, and completely purified the toxin on it.

Nearly an hour later, the starlight in Snub Star's hand slowly dissipated. The toxins in the killer's body have been completely purified, and the trauma on his chest has basically recovered, and he is slowly sleeping at the moment. The killer's face towel has been taken off by Snub Star, because the face towel makes Snub Star feel very uncomfortable. The killer was very beautiful, she was about twenty-four or five years old, somewhere between youth and maturity, so she had both charms. Her long eyelashes trembled in front of her closed eyes, and there was a feeling of pity for me.

At this moment, Snub Xing looked at the sleeping killer with an indifferent expression, as if the killer's suicide had never happened before. Since he could prevent her from dying once, it was impossible for the killer to die in front of him as long as he didn't want to, so he was thinking about how to get the news from her mouth. The killer committed suicide as soon as he untied himself, and it was obviously not easy to get news from such a mouth.

Snub Star thought for a moment and took the female killer away from where he was, as far away as he could from Don Juan's resting place. Although the killer was unconscious, Snub Star didn't dare to guarantee what she would do when she woke up, and if something made a noise that woke Don Juan and them, it would be troublesome.

After Snub Star took the killer into the distance, he waved his arm slightly, and a faint silver starlight swayed out of his hand, turning into strange runes. Immediately, Snub sat down and waited quietly for the killer to wake up. He'd just set up an enchantment around him to hide him and the killer, as well as to prevent the killer from escaping. From the outside, Snub Star and the killer's figure disappeared into place, only the dead trees nearby could be seen, while from the inside, the twenty paces around Snub Star and the killer were covered by a circular light mask, and even the top of their heads was sealed. The mask was scattered with faint silver dots, and the rest of the place was the deepest black, as if a starry sky had turned into a thick curtain, enveloping them inside.

After arranging the enchantment, Snub Star also used his mental power to pay attention to the situation of Tang Juan and the others from afar, so as not to encounter any danger to them. Although there are no creatures in this Forest of Sighs, it is better to be careful, if Don Juan and the others are attacked and then find out that he is not there, then there is really no way to explain it, after all, the illusion spell he laid before should have dissipated at this time.

Time passed, and when it was late at night, the killer opened his eyes. The moment she opened her eyes, the expression in her eyes changed from confusion, to panic, and finally to calm. At the same time, Snub Xing also opened his eyes and asked coldly, "Awake?"

The female killer sat up and said nothing. In fact, her body doesn't have much strength now, and her previous suicide attempt, although healed by the cold star, still caused a certain amount of damage to her body. And even the previous suicide failed, so even if you do anything now, it's useless, you can only wait to see what the other party wants to do.

"What's your name?"

"......" The female killer didn't answer, she looked at the cold star, without a trace of expression on her face, as if she wanted to kill.

"Who sent you?"

“......”

"What are you aiming for this mission?"

“......”

Snub Xing was silent for a moment, the other party obviously didn't intend to answer any of his questions, in this case, if he still wanted to get what he wanted from her mouth, then I am afraid he would have to use some more drastic means. He stood up, his hands once again emitting a silver glow, but unlike the healing and purifying light just now, this time it gave people an incomparably cold and sharp feeling, obviously not for healing.

With this silver light, Snub Star's right hand reached out to the female killer, and the female killer seemed to be able to guess what Snub Star wanted to do, she couldn't stop Snub Star, so she could only close her eyes gently. She had been trained to deal with such things, and knew that the more nervous she was, the more intense the pain would be, so she tried to relax her muscles to cope with the pain that would come the next moment.

However, to her surprise, the sharp pain did not come as she expected. She looked up a little surprised, and saw that the silver light on the cold star's body had disappeared, and she was just standing quietly in front of her, and a hint of complexity flashed in her silver eyes. Seeing this scene, she was suddenly stunned, such a look turned out to be a little familiar.

At the moment when Snub Star was about to make a move, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the elegant and peaceful female voice in his mind: "All lives are equal, we want to be respected, and we also want to respect other lives." The familiar voice echoing in his head made him stop. After a moment of silence, he said, "I can let you go." ”

Hearing this, the female killer froze for a moment, thinking that Snub Star was planning to use this in exchange for her to tell her what he wanted to know. However, the next moment of the snub star, it proved that her guess was not correct.

"I don't need you to tell me anything, I can let you go, but you've seen my strength, so I need you not to say it. ”

“......”

"I can't believe your empty words, so I want you to swear a blood oath that you will never return to the place where you were sent, and that you will never be able to inform anyone of my affairs in any form. If you do, I can let you go. "The so-called blood oath is to take a drop of the blood of the person who swore it, after a series of complicated rituals, let the oath taker drink, so that once the other party violates the oath, then immediately the whole body will boil blood and die, absolutely impossible to save. Therefore, when neither of them believes in the other, they can take a blood oath so that neither of them can betray the oath. That said, the rituals required for blood oaths are complex and not accessible to anyone, so they are not very common. However, since Snub Star proposed to make her swear a blood oath, she naturally mastered the method of how to operate.

"Impossible," the female killer finally spoke for the first time, "I have a mark on my body, and as long as I am alive, I will be sensed by my location, so even if you know what to do, I will not be able to make the blood oath you are talking about." ”

"Do you mean that mark?" Snub Star replied coldly, "I had already removed that before, so in the eyes of the person who sent you, you should be dead." "When he used magic to heal the female killer before, Snub Star noticed a strange mark on her body, so he directly purified it when he purified the toxin.

Hearing Snub Xing's words, the female killer suddenly raised her head, and her body trembled for a moment. If what Snub Star said is true, then it means that she is free, after all, if there is a choice, who wants to be a killer who only wants to kill people and does not know when she will die?

Don Juan awoke from his slumber and saw the Falling Star leaning quietly against a tree, looking at the eastern sky. He turned his head to see a ray of pale golden light shining out of the clouds on the horizon, dyeing the dim sky with a bright color, and cheerfully announcing the arrival of a new day. Gradually, as the sky gradually brightened, the red sun slowly showed its head. Don Juan sighed: "I really didn't expect that watching the sunrise in this dark forest would have a special charm." ”

At the same time, another part of the dark forest, the light was cast by layers of dead branches and chopped up, shining on the body of the female killer who had become free at this time. Looking at the slowly rising red sun, her heart suddenly moved, and such a picture emerged in her mind: the winter sun shone on the snow, making the white snow extremely dazzling, a man in black pulled her in rags, she turned around, and saw a group of people in ragged clothes. There were old people, middle-aged people, and even children younger than her, and their complicated eyes were frozen in her memory.

She suddenly thought that it should be the eyes of someone who could no longer be seen? When did she start such a picture, and why, buried it in the depths of her memory and no longer remembered it? After all, how did she become a killer? As time passed, she couldn't remember it clearly, and all she could remember was the low male voice: "Do you want to live?" Then come with me. ”

She didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to make that choice at that time. However, no matter what, she is not the same person she used to be, and there may be new choices. The silver-haired young man, who showed eyes similar to those in her memory at that time, at that time, who did he think of?
