304 Assassination
Two weeks later.
The secret abode of the Ghost Knife, hidden somewhere inside a small mountain of garbage.
Lupin was sitting upright at his workbench, carefully wiping down a metal object on the table.
It resembles an RPG, but it's a bit miniaturized, with only half an arm's length at it. The whole body is frosted silver, except for the "warhead" at the top, which occasionally flashes with a dull gold sheen in the dim light.
This dark gold gadget is the most precious accessory I got from the Heavy Artillery King - a miniature fission warhead!
After modification, these silver-white devices on the outside are specialized detonators.
At the other end of the workbench is an old-fashioned physical screen.
The picture on the display screen is a spacious and bright medical room.
The medical room was quiet, and in the life support cabin filled with translucent green potion, the unconscious Xi Xin was full of tubes. If it weren't for the old man with white temples who was kneeling and waiting on the futon on the side, he would open his eyes and look at her a few times from time to time, and even give people the illusion that this was a still picture.
"Crunch."
That's when it happened.
The door to Lupin's room suddenly opened.
But no one walked in.
Lupin, however, seemed to be surprised, and spoke into the air: "How is it, is there any progress in today's maintenance?" β
"Okay."
The voice of the ghost knife rang out out of thin air.
The next moment, a cloud of light distorted to form a looming silhouette of a young girl, standing next to the back of Lupin's chair.
"The maintenance of the steel tyrannosaurus will have to wait for a while...... Who let more than eighty percent of the entire garbage bug alliance die, and the rest don't dare to come forward, all kinds of parts have been too difficult to buy recently......
"But fortunately, the materials needed to repair this Aurora Company's experimental body were finally gathered this morning!
"By the way, when I walked in just now, did you see any flaws?"
Lu Ping subconsciously shook his head when he heard this, and his eyes immediately lit up, "There really isn't any flaw...... In other words, this body is completely repaired? Is that okay to start the assassination for me? β
"Theoretically, yes." The looming girl nodded slightly, "With the perfect invisibility of this body, I am very sure that I can sneak into the core area of the Aurora Mansion and help you assassinate the woman named Xi Xin." β
"Okay, let's get ready." Lupin nodded, his palm resting on the silver-white cylindrical device and rubbing it gently, "I'll be waiting for your news outside the Aurora Mansion when the time comes...... If you fail, remember to quickly transfer your consciousness, once this thing is detonated, it will not distinguish between friend and foe. β
"Small." Ghost Horse Dao Ji shrugged.
"When are you leaving?"
"I'll do it again when I'm done with it...... Or, tonight? β
ββββ
Nine o'clock in the evening.
metro area.
In fact, for Neptune City, where the dark clouds do not disperse all year round, there is no substantial difference between day and night.
However, human beings need a regular routine after all, so the artificial lights in the metropolitan area act as a day-night regulation.
From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., all city lights are brighter!
At other times, the lights will be dimmed, and only essential lights such as street lights, hovercar guides, landmark buildings, and billboards in prime locations where land is at a premium are allowed to remain bright.
Aurora Building.
The Aurora Building, which resembles the scepter of the sun, is also one of the landmark buildings, and it is still brilliant even at night. Beams of light like an aurora flowed from the outer walls, winding from bottom to top into the very top of the scepter, where a huge man-made gem glittered on the roof.
But the brighter the Aurora Building! Instead, it lined the surrounding buildings, as if hidden in the shadows.
At this moment, on another building just a hundred meters away.
On the edge of the smooth faΓ§ade, a figure barely visible to the naked eye is clinging to the glass, motionless!
Lupin maintains his Hunter form.
The body has long been mimicked, blending in with its surroundings...... The fission warhead and launcher, which could not be camouflaged, were pressed between his body and the edifice by him, and could hardly be seen from other directions.
It can be hung on the exterior wall because Lupin partially loads the octopus's suction cup at the tip of his finger and absorbs himself firmly.
For today's plan, Lupin and Ghost Knife have been carefully preparing for two weeks, and the equipment that should be prepared has already been prepared in advance! For example, Lupin has a miniature headset in his ears and thin invisible AR glasses in front of him, which allows him to keep track of the progress of the ghost knife infiltrating the building.
"This should be it." There was a calm voice in his ears.
Through the contact lens, Lupin did see that her perspective had come to the interior of the Aurora Building at this time. In front of him was a pure white and clean hallway, and at the end of it was a closed metal door.
γ
"The next thing is to be patient and wait for the opportunity."
Both of them are very patient, because the ghost knife has already invaded the monitoring of the Aurora Building, and after so many days of non-stop observation, the two have summed up the pattern.
This medical room is definitely the place with the highest security level in the Aurora Building!
I don't know why the other party values Xi Xin so much...... In short, this medical room, not only the patrolling guard robots can't enter at will, but even the undead executives of the Aurora Company can't get close! And in the room, except for Xi Xin, who was half-dead, there was only the eldest elder of the Kawamura family, "Kawamura Kazuru" himself.
Kawamura Iezuru ......
According to the information of the ghost horse sword hime, the Kawamura family believes in the [Plath] god lord, and this god lord is not very high in the sea king city, only in the thirties, and the Kawamura family crane is already the strongest in the family, a five-turn immortal!
As an immortal, you can not eat or drink at all, but this old guy has a habit of drinking, and every day at midnight, he will always ask someone to bring a special pot of sake in.
I can only take advantage of that opportunity, the moment the door opens, I can go in!
Lu Ping and the Ghost Knife were also in order to prevent variables, so they were only three hours in advance, and they were both in place at nine o'clock in the evening.
Minutes and seconds passed.
In the boring wait, it seems to be particularly long.
"By the way, Brother Hunter, why do you have to kill this female alien?" The bored voice of the ghost knife sounded in Lupin's ears.
She is a cyber warrior, and the so-called speech is only transmitted by the fluctuation of thinking data and transformed into a voice, so she does not have to worry about exposing herself by speaking.
"It's just some personal vendettas." Lupin sighed softly, as if reluctant to elaborate.
In fact, there was indeed a hint of awkwardness in his heart.
Truly! Xi Xin does know the secrets of the Crystal Palace, including the coordinates of the Life Canyon where the Crystal Palace is located, as well as secrets such as the Poseidon Cult and the Evolution Serum, especially the latter, which belongs to the derivative secrets of Lupin's creature editor.
And she did participate in the rebellion of the Crystal Palace at the beginning, and she also had a lot of blood debts......
But then again, Xi Xin is already quite miserable!
In order to escape from the Crystal Palace, half of her skull was blown open by a slave chip, and later escaped to Aquaman City, where she was captured as an Inhuman slave and implanted with a chip again, and in order to break free, she blew up her head for the second time.
After blowing up the brain twice, even if it regrows with the ability of the hexagonal salamander, how many memories of those secrets will actually be left?
If all memories are gone, can the regrown brain, the personality it possesses, be seen as another innocent girl?
Not to mention that now, she is now in the hands of the undead......
The immortal of the Kawamura family, the ability is a strange ritual to find people by burning blood.
Whether it is Shigejiro Kawamura in the past or Kawamura Ietsuru now, they have tried their best to maintain Xi Xin's vitality and make her a continuous blood production machine...... The purpose is to find yourself.
In the past two weeks, Lupin has been well aware that Kawamura has tried to find himself more than once with the blood he has collected, but all of them have ended in ritual failure!
The blood used in every ritual is measured in tons!
Xi Xin, as a genetically modified person, obviously has the super resilience of the Mexican newt, and also enjoys luxurious medical treatment, but he has been unconscious, I am afraid it is related to long-term massive blood loss.
It is better to live like this than to die.
"If it were somewhere else, I wouldn't have to kill you, maybe I could test the remaining memories first...... etc.," Lu Pin said secretly in his heart, "It's a pity that you are now caught by the Five Turns Undead, and the Five Turns ...... I'm not sure how to deal with it. There is no other way but assassination. β
With a slight shake of his head, Lupin threw the hesitation that had flashed in his heart to the back of his mind.
Kill Xi Xin, this is the best solution at the moment!
