Chapter 11: The Killer (I)
While Bello was munching on the fish, Otto was in Sacnas City.
As Bello expected, Ruili had a problem in Saknath, she encountered a killer, and the other party was good at mental invasion, but fortunately, as a crafter, she had a solid foundation of divine thoughts, and she used Otto's life-saving means to protect herself, so she had a chance to escape from the killer. Even so, it was still the first serious and fell into a deep sleep.
Sacnas, Old East End.
in a small two-storey building.
Otto's expression was gentle and the horns were hidden. It's hard to imagine that a man who is nearly two meters tall, with a full beard and hair as hard as wire, would show such a look.
Carefully hiding the corners of the quilt, Otto stared at the sleeping Ruili for a moment, then got up and walked out of the room, going down the first floor.
There were already several people waiting on the first floor, all of whom were of different identities. Someone was wearing a gray worker's outfit and looked like a worker on a production line. Someone in a waistcoat, shirtless, showing strong muscles, this is a dock worker. There are also scholars with glasses and walking sticks.
Otto went downstairs and glanced at everyone present. He asked in a deep voice, "Everyone be quiet for a while, have you all come?" and who else hasn't arrived?" The voice of the conversation gradually disappeared, and everyone's eyes looked towards Otto.
"Edward, this is your place, you can arrange it, let's have a meeting. Otto gestured to a long-haired youth. This is a young man with a thin stature and the appearance of a scholar.
Hearing Otto's words, he said, "Follow me!" and led the group straight into a quiet hall. A dozen or so people sat down separately.
I saw that everyone was ready.
Otto saw that everyone was seated, so he said in a deep voice: "The situation has been very bad recently, I am here today, so I will have a temporary meeting, Aphrot, you come to make meeting minutes, go back and report to the organization." After arranging these things, he said again: "Let's all talk about the recent situation, Deni, you are the most well-informed, you speak first." ”
"Recently, the situation has been tense, the Temple of Light announced that the Holy Sword Knights have defected and given annihilation, as far as I know, nearly half of the Holy Sword Knights have defected from the temple, and they may retaliate in the next time, and the other temples are waiting and watching, and there is no further action. As far as I know, the reason why the Knights of the Holy Sword were declared rebels may be that they stole the artifact blueprints of the temple, and the Temple of Light has four artifact blueprints, and it is not clear which one was stolen. There is news that the Knights of the Holy Sword colluded with us to steal the blueprints and put the matter on our heads. I suggest that HQ issue a statement, otherwise the name of the artifact blueprint is likely to attract unnecessary covetousness. ”
Denis is a middle-aged man with a cap and cotton shoulders who looks like a mid-level clerk, but he is actually a mid-level clerk of a carriage rental company, and he has easy access to all kinds of information.
"Another point, in the past six months, there is a hidden force entangled with us, Ruili's curse is their hand, I initially got the disappearance, this organization is called 'Light of Truth', the current information on them is not clear, only know that this organization is an evil god worship organization, with a strong aggressiveness. They are consciously targeting our people. The tactics are very ruthless. ”
"Chop!" Otto snorted two words from his nostrils.
"Due to the constant pressure of the Temple of Light, our tentacles have had to shrink, and our forces in Saknath have been relatively reduced. In the small nearby cities, the 'Blood Moon Cult has been found preaching, and they have distributed many of these pamphlets. Denis took out a pamphlet from his pocket, which was almost identical to Yernai's, except that it was much newer.
"Does it work?" sneered Otto, who knew very well the average literacy rate in small cities. Where you don't even know the words, throw this kind of pamphlet, and no matter how much you send it, it's useless.
"Albert, have you fought with the Light of Truth over there, and how are they doing?" Otto turned his head to look at a bitter middle-aged man, whose face was middle-aged, but his hair was thin.
Albert opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard a loud laugh of "hahahaha" from outside the house. An arrogant voice shouted outside the house: "Rats of the revolutionary army, I heard that you are gathering here, uncle, I will come and take a look! Get out of here!" Although this man was talking in the courtyard, his voice was as clear as if it was in his ears.
"Look for death!" Albert said with a hideous expression on his face, and he hurried out of the room in three steps and two steps. The people in the house hurriedly followed. Before he reached the courtyard, he heard a "bang", and when he looked around, he saw Albert flying out of the middle of the courtyard. Crashed into a courtyard wall and lay on the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Otto squinted at the visitor in front of him, this was not an easy opponent.
"How's it going? Is there anything more powerful? hey, hey, hey!" was a thin, small-eyed mustache on the other side. If it weren't for Edward being beaten away just now, no one would have imagined that this little man would have such a strong strength.
"Very well, Edward, go see Albert!" Otto took two steps forward, "I'll try!"
"Hmph, let's see what you're capable of!" the mustache lunged forward and punched Otto in the jaw, a fast and fierce punch.
Otto did not retreat but advanced, as if he threw a punch slowly, and as soon as the punch came out, the surrounding space felt like it was closed. The mustache noticed that the fist in front of him was getting bigger and bigger, and it went straight to his head.
"You're underestimating me too much!" Mustache punched Otto's fist, and the moment the two fists touched, he was about to change his move, and then he was shocked to find that the power gushing out of the fist was much greater than he expected, and not only that, but there was actually a cutting force in this fist, which continued to invade his body, and could cut him to pieces almost immediately.
"Bang!" there was another loud bang, but this time it was the mustache that flew out upside down. He flew backwards in the opposite direction to Albert, shattering a wall. Unlike Edward, he immediately stood up, shook the dust off his body, his face turned red, and he endured and endured, but he still couldn't help spurting out a mouthful of blood.
"Treacherous fellow! so you...... Hmph!" he pointed to Otto and wanted to say something, but when he saw the people on the other side coming around, he stomped his foot and turned his head out of the wall in hatred.
Otto looked at the direction of the other party's escape, did not make a sound, Edward and others pestered Albert and walked over, they saw Otto's face turned pale, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, everyone was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward, but saw Otto wave his hand to indicate that he was fine.
"It seems that the power of the Light of Truth is not small! Any person who appears is such a character! It's a pity, if he doesn't run, there is still hope for treatment, and there is basically no chance of surviving this run. Otto looked at the direction in which the thin man had left, and his face was solemn. He didn't know that this skinny man was not a member of the "Light of Truth" at all, but a killer of another organization, the "Shadow Fang". Strike attack
It wasn't just Otto and others who were attacked, Bello in Belparo was also attacked.
After eating the fish in the morning, Bello plans to go to the workshop to see if he can borrow some money. Halfway through, I felt that something was wrong with my body, and it felt like a flame was burning from the inside out.
At first, he thought it was getting hotter, but after walking for a while, he found that something was wrong, the temperature around him hadn't risen much, and it was himself who was heating up, and his whole person felt like it was going to burn up from the inside out.
No, we have to hurry up to the workshop, Bello's mind has begun to faintly dizzy, and his thoughts are a little blurry. He knew what would happen if he fainted here. Faint in the workshop, at least someone can call a doctor for themselves.
At this moment, he saw a gray robe, and a masked man suddenly stood in front of him. For the strangers around him, Bello usually doesn't pay special attention, this stranger is an exception, as soon as he appears Bello's spirit is extremely nervous, the other party's mask is unusually familiar to him, it is the mask he sees in his dreams every day.
"I wanted to use your life to test Otto's details, but I didn't expect him to run to Saknaus, little ghost, it seems that your parents died in vain, and in the eyes of their revolutionary army, you have become a burden!" The Comer is a Shadow Fang killer.
The Tooth of Shadows, known as the world's largest killer organization. The world's three major killer organizations, the Dark Raven, the Tooth of Shadow, and the Double Ring. Among them, the double ring is a stealthy killer organization that generally does not appear. The Raven is more like a merchant than a killer, and after the client issues the commission in the Raven, the Raven will hang the task internally for a period of time, and at the same time notify the target, if the target can give a better price to eliminate the disaster within the announcement period, the Raven will return the client's bounty. Shadow Fang is an organization similar to the Killer Guild, in Shadow Fang, everyone does not know each other, the task can be viewed at the internal task counter, everyone can take the same task, and only the completed one can get a bounty if he takes the certificate to write-off.
The Mask Killer targets Otto due to the recent release of a large number of bounties about "Otto" within the Fang of Shadows, as well as a series of detailed information about Otto. Among them, Otto's friends, daughters, and Otto himself have offered high bounties.
The Mask Killer is pretty sure that it's the Hearts of Truth that is offering the bounty. Judging by recent information, Otto was one of the leaders of the revolutionary army in the regions of Belparo and Saknas. The "Heart of Truth" group probably wanted to destroy the power of the revolutionary army and expand its influence in the region.
It's a pity that the "Shadow Fang" has received a lot of this bounty, and these bounties belong to pan-bounty tasks, and anyone can take them, and only after completing them can they get the bounty. This kind of money-rich and simple task is simply not too sought-after.
Otto hurried to Saknaus, presumably by the men there. The mask killer was a little helpless about this, and he had already laid out the game here, first using the people around Otto to probe his details. Knowing his ability, he can use poison if he can, and if he can sneak attack, he will definitely kill Otto.
I didn't expect to have a peer who was more anxious than myself, so I did it dryly. In this way, their own arrangements are completely disrupted.
