Chapter 13: The Cat of Nine Lives
The dim starlight separated large shadows on the collapsed ruins, and the night sky was already dim, but the ten figures standing high above the ruins were darker than this dark night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Just seeing these ten silent shadows, Jack already felt a little bad, and in that moment, he thought a lot.
Why don't these black-clad fellows speak, why don't they speak harshly if they're here to avenge their companions, and so on, are they resentful spirits who have come to seek revenge on Safina?
Suddenly, the night scene, which I thought was wonderful, became ghostly.
In fact, as a materialist, although he has a lot of nerves, Jack is extremely afraid of ghosts - that may be the shortcoming of people with strong imagination, in short, at this time he has already thought of ghosts in an instant, and the fragments of the old movies "Ga Coconut" and "Midnight Sadako" that he has seen flashed quickly in his mind, and the invincible horror instantly captured Jack's body and mind.
But he still wanted to pretend that nothing happened, and teased the ten "ghosts" with Safina in a slightly stammering voice.
"Safina, do you think they're sick? Do you have to dress all in black, look like, like they're going into a coffin, hehe, do you want to pretend to be a ghost? Really, it's not like it at all, and, still, think that a man like me, like me, would be afraid, afraid of ghosts? Don't, don't be kidding! I, I'm not afraid of ghosts at all!!
Then don't tremble when you speak......
Safina gave Jack a reluctant look, and her otherwise relaxed smile became a little embarrassed by Jack's humiliating performance.
"Don't think too much about it, Jack, they must be people!" said Safina with a shudder to Jack's head, and said confidently, "Didn't I kill a man and get the location of the treasure? Moreover, looking at your kid who looks like the best in the world, I didn't expect you to be afraid of ghosts!"
"Huh?" Jack suddenly showed a mocking expression, looked at Safina with disdain, and said, "What kind of brain do you have, what kind of observation, how can a magician like me, who is so suave, intelligent, and invincible, afraid of ghosts? Hey, why don't they say a word, shouldn't a normal villain shout a few times arrogantly and then rush up to kill us?"
Jack's "experience" was doomed, and the ten dark shadows didn't say a word, only a cat meow from someone pierced the night sky.
"Meow!"
The cat's cry was sharp and poignant, like a scream when it was abused, and it was like a close relative's tragic death, with a heavy resentment, just hearing it made people shudder.
The next moment, the silent assassin rushed towards the two of them with ghostly steps.
"Hey, is this really a human being? What about a good bickering chapter? What about a chance to give people a chance to pretend to be forced to slap their faces?" Seeing these people killed, although Jack still couldn't tell whether they were humans or ghosts, and was still a little scared, he had quickly calmed down and entered the state of fighting.
Whatever it was, he didn't want to die.
Taking out the [Imitation Tiger-T107] from his arms, Jack cautiously looked at the rushing assassins, because their steps were too fast, coupled with the black clothes and night, Jack's eyes were difficult to catch their figures, which made him dare not shoot easily, the magic of a ring magician could allow him to shoot 24 bullets, but the ammunition capacity of a gun was only six rounds - there were too many people on the other side, and he had to ensure that every shot hit one person, because the other side would never give him a chance to change bullets.
Different from Jack's nervousness and caution, Safina behaved very casually, with a confident smile on her face, she looked at the ten people who rushed quickly, not only did not put on a fighting posture, but introduced to Jack like an outing, "Did you hear their cat bark, hehe, I didn't know just now, but now I know, they are the A-class killer group [Nine Lives Cat], the [Nine Lives Cat] who is good at team attacks, it's strange, right?" There are ten people in the Nine Lives Cat, however, their slogan is the Nine Lives Cat, Nine Deaths and One Life, among the ten people, one is the strongest seventh-level leader, he symbolizes life, and the other nine people are all third- to fourth-level auxiliaries, representing death, their slogan is also interesting and very straightforward, as long as the head of the regiment does not die [Nine Lives Cat] will not die. ”
"Doesn't anyone know who the regimental leader is?" asked Jack curiously, even though the situation did not look good.
"Yes, no one knows, they are dressed almost exactly the same as their bodies, they never speak when they add killing, and they only use cat barking as a code, so no one knows the true face of [Nine Lives Cat]. ”
Now, Jack knows that killers in other worlds like to play camouflage, and they are good at letting their teammates block knives, and more importantly, they really don't talk before killing - such a villain is too unprofessional, and he doesn't give the protagonist a way to live?
While the two were talking, the [Nine Lives Cat] had already rushed in front of them, and the three black shadows changed their positions and handed out lightless blades towards Jack from three directions.
Phantom-like blades silently streaked through the air, but Jack had no doubt that it would cut his body into three pieces.
But how could he easily give the head, in the deadly sense of crisis, [Xing] suppressed almost all of his emotions, and the huge computing power instantly analyzed the strategy, and at a just right moment - it was also the moment when the three killers entered the range of the [Transparent Fire Ring (One Ring)], and this solidified magic was filled with magic power.
The high-pressure hot steam instantly formed around Jack and continued its transformation, exploding from the outermost layer of the ring of fire. Of course, the power of this one-ring spell was not enough to burn the three killers wrapped in fighting energy, or even push them away, but the instantaneous stagnation still stopped their tracks.
That wasn't much time, but Jack fired three shots with the help of Star
At that moment, [Star] matched Jack's experience in his previous life with his body in this life, allowing Jack to accurately bring the feelings of his past life into his body in this life, so these three shots hit the heads of the three assassins in his cold pupils.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief and feel the pain in his right hand, something happened suddenly.
The assassin to his right suddenly leaped up and slashed at him with a speed that Jack couldn't react to.
The cold moonlight shone on the face of the murderer.
His dark blue eyes had a striking light.
Pale teeth peeking out of the torn black cloth.
Biting a twisted bullet.
Everything in front of him was so clear that Jack even knew he was going to die, but he couldn't move.
He couldn't react at all.
He didn't expect that the assassin disguised as a third-level [dead cat] was a seventh-level [live cat].
It was even more unlikely that the Assassins' first target was not the stronger Safina, but him.
