Chapter 93: Hidden Talent
We've been with Viola for a while, but Watson only today realizes that this woman isn't as weak in melee combat as he thought. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Perhaps because the wandering assassin did not systematically train and teach her, Viola herself was a little sluggish in the connection of skills in battle, but Watson still had to admit that this woman did have the talent to become an agile assassin.
On the one hand, her high dodge success rate in battle is a bit weird, as if she has seen through the puppet's attack method in advance, although the puppet has no autonomous consciousness so the attack method is indeed a bit single, but it is also a great thing to be able to do this.
Viola, on the other hand, is very soft, and some dodge moves that are quite difficult for many professionals are often present in her fights, and this physical advantage is also reflected in her attack, some of the attack angles that Watson seems to be unbelievable are easily found and exploited by Viola relying on his own talent.
In general, it is difficult to imagine that a normal person would be able to force his upper body to the sides, but Viola did, and was even able to perform a continuous attack on the lower body of the puppet while maintaining this position.
And her weapons are not limited to two daggers, she seems to hide a large number of throwing daggers, and when she performs evasive movements, she will draw one and throw it at her enemies, even Watson stared at it for a long time and did not find out where those seemingly inexhaustible daggers were hidden, and how Viola could throw such powerful throwing knives with daggers in her hands.
Just as Watson was standing aside and thinking about the dumplings, Viola finally ended the fight with the puppet, and a short knife with a purple light flashing with thunder energy on the tip of the blade was quickly thrown in her twisting movement, passing through the blade wielded by the puppet and piercing straight into its head, the injection of thunder energy caused a riot in the dark aura inside, and then exploded rapidly, and the puppet lost its combat effectiveness.
"Watson, why don't you come and help me, it's fun to watch the show on the side? If I hadn't thought that infusing thunder elemental energy into this puppet's body would have a good effect, I don't know how long this battle would last!"
As soon as the battle was over, Viola thrust the dagger in both hands into her waist and ran to Watson to question, perhaps because she had just finished the battle or because she was angry, and her face was still flushed.
"I didn't expect a fool like you to have such a fighting talent...... Who taught you your fighting skills, and he didn't give you a lot of skills but gave you a very gifted body? The flexibility of your body is really exaggerated, how did you develop it?"
Walking to the sofa and sitting down, Watson turned his head to look Viola up and down and asked suspiciously, he didn't believe that this kind of physical flexibility was all her talent, it is true that some people's bodies are naturally soft, but to achieve Viola's point, it is impossible without acquired special exercises.
"I don't know, my cheap master made me do some strange movements all day long during the time he taught me...... At first, I felt that all the bones in my body hurt, but after a few months of doing it, I felt much better, and after two or three years, I felt that all parts of my body became very flexible.
At that time, I was often praised by him as a genius, and my success rate of stealing was so high because of the training at that time...... I can circumvent a lot of the storehouse mechanism, and now it's not impossible for me to see the shooting tracks of arrows and bullets if I'm in good shape, but I can't hide from them......"
Viola boasted proudly about her abilities, Watson actually didn't have any reason to refute, her dynamic vision combined with her flexibility talent was terrifying, and now because her own strength has not improved, these advantages can't be brought into play, it is conceivable that when her body can really keep up with her reactions, her success rate of dodging attacks and weaknesses will undoubtedly rise to an extremely terrifying level.
"You do have a good talent, this is undeniable, I began to think that you will become a good assistant, practice hard, I am optimistic about you, in the future, I will definitely have one of your meat bones when I eat a bite of meat." ā
"Why do I feel so uncomfortable when you compliment me...... Am I thinking too much?"
"Well, it's you thinking too much...... Let's go and see how Mayor Edward is doing, he can't have an accident. ā
Eyes on the room next to the living room, before Viola went over to open the door, Edward, who heard the calm and conversation outside, walked out of the room, his face became a little pale after seeing the puppet on the ground, and quickly walked to the phone in the living room to call the people in the garrison and ask them to deal with the matter here.
The call from the mayor was very useful, and despite the fact that it was about 10 p.m., the police arrived within 10 minutes, and after surveying the scene and disposing of the maid's body and puppet, everyone but the sheriff of the Rivendell garrison quickly left.
"My name is Burke, Sheriff of the Rivendell Town Garrison. ā
"My name is Watson, and this is my companion Viola, and I think you should know more about the town than Mayor Edward, so how many victims are there in the town right now, is it possible that the killer is this puppet or something else?"
Several people sat on the couch and introduced each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, so Watson decided to break the situation by asking a few questions.
"There are 12 victims and none of them are alive, and you should understand that this is a very heavy blow to a town like ours, which has a total population of only nearly two thousand, about the murderer...... I'm sorry, but we haven't caught any suspicious killers other than the three dolls found today, but judging by the victims' wounds, it seems impossible for these dolls with blades on their wrists to gouge out human tongues. ā
"I have something I want to know, I wonder if you found anything else in Mary's house besides some bones and dolls?"
"I have the impression that there are only a lot of various dolls, big and small, tall and short, ......"
"So there are other types of dolls, by the way! Where did you put the dolls you found next to the victims? I have to warn you that these dolls are not ordinary dolls, they have evil spirits attached to them, and it would be dangerous to leave them alone. ā
Suddenly thinking of the puppet he buried today, those tall blade puppets can't cut off human tongues, but these little puppets can, before he was still thinking about why this kind of puppet is placed next to these corpses, after all, the murderer is not the kind of perverted murderer likes to leave some marks at the crime scene to show his ability.
Now that I think about it, it makes sense if those little dolls were murderers controlled by Mary.
How could an ordinary small puppet be considered a target without a suspicious target?
Without any panic shouting, who would shout when they saw a doll on the side of the road?
The murderer was not caught, in fact, the murderer was next to the corpse all the time, but no one noticed!
"Those dolls...... We're all locked in the evidence room inside the garrison, what, what's the problem?"
The sudden mention of the dolls next to the corpses left Sergeant Burke a little confused.
"That aside, I have another question, why are these blade figures popping up tonight? You've been showing up these things every night lately?"
"Today is the day Mary was executed...... There were five deaths in a row on this night last month! I think that's probably why. ā
"Is your evidence room watched? Or is it just a locked room? ā
Speaking of this, Watson put down the teacup in his hand, if today made her particularly active because it was the day Mary was buried alive, then those little dolls in the evidence room of the garrison were time bombs one by one!
Who knows if they will be activated today, if at all...... If the room was locked and empty, it would be fine, at most something would be destroyed, and if there were still people guarding it......
"Recently, because the case has not been solved, and there were a large number of victims on this day last month, I left all the police officers at the police station today and asked them to be ready to go out to arrest the murderer...... You don't mean bad!"
Speaking of this, the sheriff is not stupid, combined with the previous information, now that he thinks about it, he has also guessed the most dangerous situation, and at this time, he doesn't care about anything, so he picked up the holster on the table and rushed to the door.
"Viola, you still stay here with Dumpling, I'll follow Sergeant Burke to the garrison to take a look, there may be trouble over there, the garrison is a little far away...... I've left the Flame Hand Ring with yours Flesh Ring, and if those puppets reappear, they should be able to hold it. ā
Take off the flame hand from her finger and hand it to Viola, the ring she got from the pure-blood clan before has been studied thoroughly during this time, and the effect should be to summon some blood energy to attack or defend, but because she herself is even troublesome to control the thunder element with high affinity, let alone other energy, it is a little difficult to replenish, so Viola was not willing to use it in the battle with the puppet just now.
"Sergeant Burke, wait a minute, I'll lead the horse with you, I don't think those little dolls will be so easy to deal with. ā
"Thank you very much!"
Riding a turnip, the two of them rushed to the garrison after Burke, what was waiting for them......
