Chapter 56: The Creeper

"Let's go, Lucy, lead the way. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info by the way...... "Jack pushed the short and obscene man, "Tell me the sneak attack location you agreed with [Creeper], don't try to lie, because you know ......" Jack smiled coldly, "In the face of the sneak attack of [Creeper], I will definitely let you block the first knife." ”

"He'll be in the Fountain Square of Billy, and my mission is to lure you there, and he says he'll hide in the crowd watching the fountain. Lucy said in a panic, pleading, "Can you let me go now, sir, I'm really a weak scum who doesn't threaten me, I'm no longer useful, can you let me go, !! my lord?"

"Hey, of course you don't even think about it. Jack grinned, "I want to see if you've lied to me, and more importantly, I need you to identify the so-called creeper." Lucy, although I have never seen a demon believer as timid as you, it's not that I don't believe you, on the contrary, I'm personally willing to believe you, it's just ...... If you don't want to die, please don't make me feel hopeless, my philosophy of life is that people die like lights out, on the road to hell, extinguish one to have a playmate, extinguish two lamps to make a fight landlord, do you understand?"

Lucy pursed his cold, bloodless lips and nodded hurriedly, much to Jack's satisfaction.

"Let's go, Tifa, and go back to the manor first. Jack turned to Tifa again, he didn't want to put his beautiful new friend in danger.

"No, Jack. Tifa smiled softly and shook her head, her elven pupils filled with an undeniable determination, "I'm your guard, and I'm going to keep you safe." ”

"Shouldn't you follow my orders just because you're my bodyguard?" asked Jack rhetorically.

In the face of Jack's inquiry, Tifa was not angry, she was a gentle but strong person: "It is the soldier who obeys the order, and I am the guard, my duty is to protect you, and more importantly, Jack, as a friend, how can I let you go into danger alone?"

"Okay!" Jack was a little moved in his heart, but he didn't show it, as a mature person, he knew how to respect the choices of others, "That's a fifth-level assassin, if you can't violate it......"

"Jack, I have the experience of facing fifth-level professionals, although I respect the strong, but I am not afraid of them, you should know that the best thing in Eastern martial arts is hand-to-hand combat and fighting the strong with the weak, you can rest assured, I cherish my life. Tifa interrupted Jack and said, "Jack, let's not waste time, don't let that [creeper] get suspicious!"

"Well, in order to deal with him, I also need to do some arrangements in advance. ”

――――

Located in the center of the West Business District, the Fountain Square is a huge circular square, and every night, twelve lights are erected around the perimeter of the square, and visitors eat the food of the shops on the edge of the square, and enjoy the fountain changing colors under the flickering lights in the center of the square.

Like Bancheng, it is a famous tourist attraction in Ash City, but Bancheng is generally suitable for daytime visits, and Bifu Fountain Square is suitable for couples to visit at night.

There are eighteen alleys, large and small, that lead to the Fountain of Billy Square, and Jack, Tifa, and Lucy, who is pressed together, stand in one of the dim little openings, quietly observing the people of the square. Two dim green turning lights swept over the trees, and the fountain suddenly rose upward, causing pedestrians to stop.

"Which one is him? Don't speak, point it out. Jack kept his voice as low as he could, Level 5 assassins generally had a strong sense of hearing, and he didn't want to alert the creeper.

"No, I don't know, yes, I'm sorry, I really don't. ”

Jack glared at Lucy, "Didn't you say you should stop talking?" He glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, but he didn't dare to relax at all, because this appearance of business as usual often gave people a lot of pressure on their hearts. Threats lurk in the unknown, and imagination brings the greatest fear.

But Jack has changed his words, and he has learned to control his fear from previous events, turning it into a motivating rather than a distraction.

"Tifa. Knock this guy out!" Jack whispered.

"Good!" Tifa replied, and she walked up to Lucy, completely ignoring Lucy's pleas for mercy, her gauntleted fist already slamming smoothly into Lucy's temple.

After a muffled sound, Lucy decisively lost consciousness.

"He's not going to die, is he?"

"Don't worry, I'm very skilled. Tifa blinked and said, "Let's let him faint first, he may still have a little use." ”

This sentence came to Jack's heart, in order to face the fifth-level assassin, he took out two diamond-shaped unfinished products from the space-time ring, which were unsuccessful time bombs, Jack grieved for this poor mercenary for a moment, and it took twenty seconds to release the [Preservation Technique] on the two unfinished bombs.

Jack Cra opened the pull tab (safety) above the diamond bomb and stuffed a bomb into Lucy's jacket pocket, which was the insurance. Although this is still only a half-finished product, what is not finished is only the timing structure of the bomb, the explosion structure of the bomb has been designed perfectly, and after the [preservation technique], the bomb is barely in a controllable state.

Jack was silent for Lucy, but he was under the pressure of the Creeper, so he could only wish the coward good luck and hope that he would never use this spare bomb, another bomb, which Jack had Tifa embed in one of the walls of the alley.

Then, the two of them quietly and vigilantly waited for the [Creeper] to attack.

As it turned out, the Assassins were different from the Knights in that they never attacked head-on, and although Jack and Tifa were already back-to-back, vigilantly observing their surroundings, it was only at the last moment that they sensed the news of an attack.

Tifa pushed Jack away, and she herself turned sideways with the force of the reaction, but the sharp blade still cut through her clothes, almost breaking the magic of Tifa's protective body.

Jack rolled over and hit the wall, and he endured the pain and looked up at the attacker.

It was a man in tight brown leather armor, he wore a black mask, carried two short knives stuck diagonally, and his demonic red hair danced wildly in the wind, setting off the old eyes more and more aggressive.

He was the [Creeper]! This professional assassin suddenly fled thousands of miles away after a single blow, and disappeared into the shadows without saying a word, only his indifferent and incomprehensible eyes remained in the hearts of the two attacked.

No one can detect the killing intent of the [Creeper], if there are no scratches on the ground, it can even be said that the appearance of the [Creeper] is an illusion.

At this moment, both Jack and Tifa felt extremely solemn in their hearts, and in front of the real assassins, they felt tremendous pressure.
