Chapter 104: Assassination
At this time, Charlene didn't seem to know what was going on at home. She was still in the carriage, on the way back.
Charlene leisurely looked at the rainstorm outside, and thought: This rain is really heavy! The weather is also cold and deserted, and it seems that it is really autumn.
At this time, a black shadow suddenly jumped from the eaves next to it to the top of the carriage very quickly, and then directly cut off the head of the old man who was driving!
Blood splattered onto the glass windows of the carriage, and it was washed away by the rain in an instant.
Charlene was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening, and was suddenly speechless. At this moment, another dark shadow appeared next to him, he reached out and opened the door of the carriage, and was about to rush into the carriage!
Charlene panicked and kicked the dark shadow hard, temporarily kicking the assassin out of the carriage. At this time, the assassin who was originally on the roof of the car had also broken the window of the car and swung it at Charlene with a short knife!
Charlene is not like Xia Zuo, and she is not so good at hand-to-hand combat. Although she carried a magic weapon with her, it was only a simple wand, and it was of little use when it was snuggled to her.
So Charlene saw that the assassin on the roof of the car was about to enter the carriage, so in a hurry, she took her wand and thrust it into the assassin's face, and pierced it directly into the eye socket!
The assassin screamed in pain, struggled to his feet, and with a sense of annoyance, began to slash at Charlene with his knife.
Charlene hurriedly retreated, then jumped out of the carriage and began to flee towards the alley next to her.
Since Charlene was wearing a heavily decorated skirt today, under the impact of the heavy rain, the skirt quickly became heavy, which greatly affected Charlene's running speed. Coupled with the assassin who chased Charlene, his physical ability was stronger than Charlene's, making Charlene now in a rather passive position.
In desperation, Charlene tore her skirt and threw the outer layers directly, but this still did not allow her to escape from the Assassins' pursuit. And the wand in Charlene's hand was also broken when she stabbed the assassin just now. This means that she can't even use spells right now!
A mage who can't use spells is useless, not to mention that Charlene is still facing two skilled assassins. And in the process of escaping, Charlene could sense that the number of assassins chasing her was slowly increasing.
Although it is not yet known what their purpose is to hunt her down, Charlene understands that if she continues like this, she will be caught up sooner or later, and then die!
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
Charlene ran through the cluttered alleys soaking wet, and soon left the aristocratic quarter.
Along the way, she had noticed that the atmosphere of the neighborhood seemed to be different from usual, even after leaving the aristocratic quarter, there were no people on the streets, and the shops were all closed.
Of course, this may also have something to do with the heavy rain, but there are still a few people on the street.
Charlene suddenly slipped and fell into a puddle on the side of the road, covered in mud. By this time, an assassin had already caught up with her, and was constantly approaching Charlene.
Charlene looked at the assassins who were constantly approaching her, and her whole body trembled nervously and anxiously. She shuddered and begged the Assassin not to kill her.
How could the assassin let Charlene go because of her plea, and at this time he was approaching Charlene with murderous intent at this time!
Seeing that Charlene was a delicate girl with no magic weapon in her hand, the assassin couldn't help but relax his vigilance. But what he didn't expect was that when he was less than a meter away from Charlene, Charlene suddenly tripped the assassin with a kick, and then quickly pulled out an iron pipe from the garbage heap next to him and stabbed the assassin into the abdomen!
The assassin was defenseless, and was stabbed by Charlene! His abdomen was bleeding immediately, and he struggled in pain!
The rain mixed with muddy water and the blood of the Assassins was somewhat shocking.
Charlene doesn't have the time to care about these things now.
For her, there is only one thought now, and that is to run for her life!
Charlene knew that she was no match for the Assassins. The success just now was just luck, and her luck couldn't have been so good all the time.
But Charlene didn't know what she had to do to escape the hunt. Is it homecoming?
Charlene quickly gave up on this idea, because her intuition had already told her that there was a high probability that something had happened to her mansion, so she must not go back for the time being!
But what could Charlene do? Where in Two Moon City would she be safe? Should she hide in the homes of other nobles?
No way!
This plan was also immediately vetoed by Charlene, because after escaping all the way, she had found that the noble families were all closed at night, which showed that something terrible was happening in Shuangyue City, and she must not implicate anyone else!
The icy rain was still washing over Charlene's body. Her head was much clearer, but her body was shivering with cold, and her feet were cramping. Charlene could only limp and continue to hold on to the wall.
In desperation, Charlene accidentally tripped again, and the whole person fell to a mossy door on the wall. Unexpectedly, the door was not locked, and Charlene fell to the inside of the door!
Unlike the darkness in the alley, there was a light behind the door, and it was a room with people. Charlene struggled to get up, only to find that behind the door was not a room, but full of tables and chairs, more like a small restaurant. It turned out that the moss-covered door was the back door of the small restaurant.
“...... Charlene: How did you become like this?"
Hearing someone call her name, Charlene looked around alertly. As a result, she found that due to the torrential rain, there was now only one customer in the lobby of the restaurant, and he was talking to himself.
And this guest is the yang rail of the civilian group.
Yang Rail was originally just here for dinner at this restaurant. But when I had no choice but to eat, it suddenly rained heavily.
Yang Liang didn't bring an umbrella and didn't want to wet his clothes, so he waited until now. Seeing that the rain had not been getting smaller, he was already a little impatient with waiting, and was thinking that he might as well go back in the rain.
As a result, when Yang Rail was about to go out, he saw Charlene stumbling in through the back door.
Yang Liang looked at Xia Lin's appearance and suddenly became dumbfounded.
Charlene's skirt had been cut several times in the chase just now, and several pieces of fabric were missing, revealing her underpants. Charlene's usually elaborate braided hair was no longer messy at this time.
Although Charlene's shirt is knee-length, even if it is exposed, it is nothing, but a noble lady has become so downtrodden, which still makes people feel a little unaccustomed.
So Yang Rail immediately took off his long coat and draped it on Charlene's body, and at the same time asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
And Charlene, seeing that she met someone she knew, finally eased her nervousness a little. But as soon as Charlene's mood relaxed, a sense of exhaustion immediately invaded her whole body. If it weren't for Yang Rail's quick hand to help her, Charlene would have almost collapsed to the ground.
Yang Liang helped Charlene to sit down in the window seat, so that she could rest for a while and catch her breath.
