Chapter 91: The smoke of gunfire is rising
"Murderer in the Night". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the content of the new issue of the Imperial Capital Incredible Daily. As soon as the morning report came out, the incident that occurred in the middle of the night suddenly became a hot topic in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital. As the writer of this report, Ella was not in the least excited about the hot sales of the newspaper, and she had not spoken a word since the morning, and her face was pale.
She thought that the guard was just drunk, but after stopping to take a closer look, she realized that the guard had been dead for a long time. The guard's right hand was pressed to his heart, and his face still had the expression it had before death—his eyes protruded, his face was blue, and his mouth was as wide as a fish out of water.
Ella couldn't find any external injuries on him, not even a sign of a fight.
This report completely deviates from the original intention of her publication, what she wants to construct is an urban idol who comes and goes without a trace and is active in the night of the imperial capital, rather than a killer of evil sects. Neither the Shadow Assassin nor the Monster Thief Sanks had killed anyone, but upon further investigation, she was shocked to find that this was the fifth attack on the Imperial Capital in recent times.
In addition to the guards of last night, the dead were knights, students, drunkards, and workers under the command of nobles. The only thing they have in common is that the cause of their deaths is unknown, and her intuition tells her that these seemingly unrelated events are the work of the same person.
In other words, the other party is a murderer in the true sense of the word.
Take pleasure in killing and kill for no reason.
"Isn't this a myocardial infarction?"
Lin Qiu said subconsciously after reading the report.
Of course, the medical model in this world is very different from that before the crossing, and medical staff are often people with healing powers, so naturally they will not understand what myocardial infarction is.
Ella was startled, she turned her head and asked, "Myocardial infarction?"
"It is a condition with a very high rate of sudden death...... This shouldn't be some incredible legend of the imperial capital, right? The guard must have just happened to have this disease. ”
"But he wasn't the only one who died, there have been several deaths in this way recently!" It's just that she didn't write these into the daily newspaper, because the other party's target covers almost all the people in the imperial capital, rashly writing it will only cause unnecessary panic.
And Lin Qiu's first reaction was that the person who made the shot was the Assassin Guild.
Killing someone silently was exactly the way the Assassins did it - could it be that they wanted to cause panic in the imperial capital through this random killing?
If the people of the Imperial Capital knew that the Assassin Guild had returned, and pointed the finger at them, the panic caused would probably not be able to subside for a while.
"Tyr-san, I seem to have done something wrong. ”
Ella blamed herself for the fact that if it weren't for the recent drop in daily newspaper reviews, she would never have written about it in the morning newspaper in a moment of confusion. At the end of the morning, the heated discussion of the killer at night overshadowed the strange thief Sanks, and the whole campus was filled with discussions about the murderer.
For most people, as long as the target of a murderer is not them, the impact is far greater than that of a thief.
"It's okay, the heat will pass soon. Although Lin Qiu comforted him like this, he didn't think that this incident would stop there.
The method of killing is obviously inconsistent with the Hundred Winds, which means that there is still a person in the Assassin Guild who has the ability to engrave strange inscriptions - the daily newspaper writes that the slain guard is a Gray-level royal knight, and the only thing that can make him die is the inscription.
Could it be that he still has the ability to cause someone to suddenly have a myocardial infarction?
Lin Qiu was thoughtful. He thought he might be able to get some clues from it.
It was the first day of the freshman tryouts, and Richard arrived at school early in the morning. In order to vigorously support the new members, the president of the Science Society, Tesla, gave him a large bag of crystals. There's even a frozen crystal that has just been researched.
"Don't worry, I'll win!"
As soon as the class ended, Prince Richard came to them with a large bag on his back.
Come on, you're the fattest!
Lin Qiu waved his hand at him. According to the college's arrangement, the whole afternoon is the time for the freshman tryouts.
Excluding Lilith and the others, there were still seven places left, so the academy divided the more than 100 freshmen who passed the simulation competition into seven groups - a group of more than 20 people, and the one left in each group at the end could directly enter the Wind Furnace Academy team. This kind of system tests not only the strength of the new students, but also the strategy of the new students.
The stronger the student, the more likely they are to be targeted by the rest of the freshmen at the beginning, which eventually leads to defeat. Every year, there are many freshmen with good strength who lose at this point.
As an official selection competition, not only the deans and tutors of each class will attend, but also the teachers of the student council and advanced colleges will also come to look for some newcomers with good potential.
Lin Qiu was put at the front of the freshman queue by Lilith and Ella, and he felt dizzy in front of him in the face of the vast number of seniors and seniors on the high platform.
"Come on, Tyr in charge!"
Soon, a distinctive shout rang out from the noisy platform, which far overshadowed the others.
Kanter Rajer stood in the front row, holding a pennant bearing the name of Tyre Cyrus. At his instigation, the members of the Rajer family around him also shouted together, and the hardest working among them was Andre, half of his body stretched out of the railing, eager to climb into the venue to cheer for Lin Qiu in person.
"It's not me who is participating in the tryouts!" Lin Qiu kept gesturing to Kante Rajer, who shouted like this, and the eyes of the audience were almost focused on him, and he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
"What, isn't it Tyre who is in charge of the tryouts!?" Kanter clutched his head in shock, his voice raised a few points as he put one foot on the railing.
"Boss Kante, didn't the chief student in previous years go directly to the team?" the younger brother next to him reminded him.
"What a shame to be home! I misremember the days when Tyr was in charge of the competition - it seems that I can only cut off my little finger to apologize!"
"Calm down, Kante boss!"
What are you here for?
The snickering laughter in the freshman team made Lin Qiu angry, this kind of support group is super embarrassing!
But it has to be said that Kanter Rajer's noise invisibly eased the atmosphere of the arena, and most of the people sitting on the high platform were senior students, because this class of freshmen had the existence of a super genius like Tyre Cyrus, so the high platform was full, and everyone wanted to come and see what this legendary super genius looked like.
It doesn't seem to be very good.
This was the conclusion they had come to after seeing Lin Qiu dancing and gesturing to Kanterbi.
The hilarious atmosphere did not last long, and with the appearance of a group of students wearing special school uniforms, most of the students subconsciously closed their mouths.
In the queue of freshmen, there was also a sound of reverent discussion.
- "Look, that's Senior Sister Ophelia, the recognized chief student of the three major academies!"
Those who can enter the student union of Wind Furnace Academy are undoubtedly geniuses among geniuses, and among the five people present, all of them are in the top ten on the red list. Ophelia, who was at the forefront, remained calm, and everywhere she went, the students respectfully moved out of the way.
Everyone knows what Ophelia's name means to the Furnace Academy.
As long as she is still in school for one day, the status of the Wind Furnace Academy will be unshakable.
The arena gradually quieted down, less than a quarter of an hour before the start of the game, and the next people who walked into the venue were all existences that they would never have heard of.
The students held their breath and looked at the old man who was slowly walking into the arena. (To be continued.) )
