Chapter Twenty-Four: Assassination is really a technical job
"Is the Ice Plains Kingdom really that far away? At the speed of the little phoenix, more than ten days have passed, and she has not returned. Lin Jue was a little anxious in her heart, and she was really a little uncomfortable when she suddenly lacked such a chattering little girl in her life. What's more, this mission was arranged for her by Lin Jue.
Although in his thinking, I am afraid that no one in this world can hurt her, but there is no news at all, but it makes Lin Jue panic for a while, and he always has a premonition that something not very good is about to happen.
There was no news from Phinex, and the elven messenger had lost his memory again, and he always felt that Phoenix had suddenly been abandoned by the whole world.
He misses the earth a little now, where information is transmitted quickly, and it is commonplace on the earth, if it is put in this world, it is simply black technology.
It's getting late, and it's about to reach midnight. Before this time was changed, Lin Jue was mostly still in good spirits. But in this world, except for places like bars, it is estimated that few people will stay up that late to sleep. Facing a large number of documents every day, Lin Jue's eyes were sour, this governor is really not good.
Lin Yue brought a glass of milk and said softly: "Brother, you better go to bed quickly, it's not too late to do anything tomorrow, your body is important." ”
Lin Jue took the cup and said with a smile: "I know, just wait a while." ”
In front of him was a plan for Phoenix, which showed a large area that had been planned as a field for the last group of immigrants to cultivate and plant in the spring of next year.
Just then, a soldier came to the governor's office.
"Your Excellency the Governor......"
====================
The night sky during the snow season, obscured by the boundless clouds, is not only cold, but also very dim. Visibility was low on the streets, the lights of the colony were not as bright as in other large human cities, and the average person could only rely on his senses to grope his way forward at night.
The whole sky was filled with a strange red glow, accompanied by cold air, and everyone dared to curl up in the bed.
If the sky had not been obscured by the clouds, one might have noticed several transparent shadows with vague outlines moving rapidly in the streets by the light of the moon. It's a pity that no one will notice them on such a street where there are few lights.
This is a team of ten phantoms, no one knows, just a vague image, even if someone notices, it is estimated that no one can tell what they are.
The phantoms crossed the wooden houses, evaded the patrolling soldiers, the darkness was their protective color, the night was their home field, and no one would notice their presence. They came to the vicinity of the barracks, and their target was a small wooden house near the barracks. The cabin was very quiet, with only one human doctor and two patients inside.
I don't know why, maybe it's observing the surrounding environment, maybe it's listening to the movement in the house. Before they reached the cabin, they moved extremely fast, almost at a gallop. But when they arrived, they stopped and kept wandering outside the hut.
After hesitating for a long time, they finally got into action. They weren't going to jump in through the gate or window and make a surprise attack. Instead, they clinged to the wall one by one, and their bodies were like translucent phantoms, with no substance, and they actually penetrated through the wall.
They arrived at the house without incident, and there were only three phantoms entering the room, and two narrow wooden beds immediately caught their eye.
They walked lightly, quietly, step by step to the bed.
Their bodies are no longer as disembodied as before, but are revealing their original form.
They wore black cloaks and held daggers in their hands, and a cold glow shone on the daggers, instantly bringing a chill to the whole room.
The dagger was aimed at the two sleeping figures on the bed, aimed at their heads, and with a flash of murderous intent in their eyes, the dagger stabbed downward.
Just when the tip of the dagger was only a dozen inches away from the target, their hands froze. They lowered their heads in horror, only to see that at the mouth of their hearts, a golden arrow pierced out, accompanied by a little bit of bright red blood.
A moment later, they felt a suffocating pain that rippled through their bodies in an instant. They only felt that their bodies were very tired, so tired that they couldn't move, so tired that they didn't even want to open their lips, their whole bodies were paralyzed, and they slowly fell to the ground.
The remaining phantoms outside the house waited silently for the three of them, waiting for the three of them to complete their task, pass through the wall, and join them.
But they didn't wait for the expected scene, all they waited for was three dull crashes of planks.
They looked at each other, nodded their heads to each other, and the next moment, they walked through the wooden wall and into the wooden house.
When they saw the scene inside the house, they were stunned. There was a faint oil light in the room, and by the light they could see that their companion was lying motionless on the ground with his chest clutched. On the hospital bed, a blonde elf girl, with a harmless look on her face, holding a golden longbow and a golden arrow, curled up at the head of the bed, shivering.
In the dim street, Lin Jue's expression was solemn, walking forward quickly, Lin Yue was in front of Lin Jue, stretched out her right hand, a ball of light condensed on her fingertips, as bright as day shone on the streets on both sides, and a team of soldiers followed quickly behind them.
They walked through the streets and around the barracks to the infirmary near the barracks.
At this time, the hospital hall was brightly lit, and several teams of soldiers surrounded the place.
Bi Fang waited here for a long time, and when Lin Jue arrived, he led him into the medical hall.
When he came to the medical hall, even though he had been mentally prepared, Lin Jue, who rushed into the medical hall, was still startled by the scene in front of him. To be precise, it was not that he was frightened by the bloody scene of the assassination he expected, but because the scene in front of him did not match the assassination scene he expected at all.
On the hospital bed, the dwarf hammer was leaning against the head of the bed, holding a book in his hand, looking at it with relish, as if the so-called assassination had nothing to do with him at all. When he saw Lin Jue and the others, he actually smiled and waved hello.
In another hospital bed, the blonde elf girl was curled up at the head of the bed, shivering. She held a golden longbow and a golden arrow in her hands. She looked at everyone blankly and sobbed softly.
"This ...... What's the situation? Didn't you say that you were assassinated?" Lin Jue was full of black lines, looking at the hammer that was reading the book leisurely, and the elf girl who was huddled in the corner and shivering, the contrast between the two was so great, but there was no wound on the body, where did it look like he had been assassinated?
"Could it be that the assassination failed, and the assassins all ran away?"
Bi Fang shrugged his shoulders, he pointed to the wall opposite the two of them, and said, "Look over there." ”
Lin Jue turned his head suspiciously, looked at it, and suddenly felt a cool air, spreading all over his body from head to toe, cold to the bone.
On the walls, black figures in cloaks, their feet off the ground, the ground under their feet was stained red with a bright red bloodstain, and they were nailed to the wall by golden arrows.
Lin Jue, who was about to sleep in the Governor's Palace, received a notice from Bi Fang that the medical hall had been attacked by assassins. When Lin Jue heard this, he was shocked and immediately rushed over here. As a result, the joyful scene in front of him made his heart a little uncomfortable, and he always felt as if he had been tricked.
The corners of Lin Jue's mouth twitched, and he said, "This is what you call assassination? Are you sure that these killers didn't deliberately give people heads?"
