Let's jump back in time to the beginning.

Joyce found out that he had been kidnapped, and after a brief panic, he immediately thought of a solution.

At first, he deliberately showed excitement, causing the range of movement to be too large, and secretly to take out the "Oath Blade" tied around his waist.

At this time, I have to thank Thomas, it is because of his reminder yesterday that Joyce will bring a magical item to defend himself.

Luckily, the masked man didn't search him, presumably because he didn't think a baron would bring a weapon to the ball......

After getting the "Blade of Oathbreaker", Joyce began to stall for time.

It is normal for a kidnapped young man to be sluggish due to fear, not to mention the extraordinary abilities of the "interrogator", and the masked man has no doubts about it.

During this time, Joyce used her delicate control to cut the rope that bound her to the point where she could break free with a slight force.

Subsequently, he was not in a hurry to escape, but began to test the reason why the mask man kidnapped him, but he didn't expect to gain much more than expected, which is probably the so-called "don't enter the tiger's den to get the tiger"!

It would have been better if there had been another call at this time, but unfortunately it couldn't be called...... Finding that the masked man is starting to get impatient, Joyce decides to do it.

Everything went well, and although it was not killed directly, the secondary goal was accomplished: to extinguish the only light source in the room.

The shadow is the home of the "assassins".

…………

"You're not a 'spectator'!"

The masked man controls the muscles at the wound and tries to reduce the loss of blood, but because the wound is too deep, the effect is not ideal, and judging by his experience, if he can't solve it quickly, he will definitely lose blood to death.

And Joyce's behavior of cutting off the light source proves that he has dark vision, and to deal with such a person, you must first find his location, so the masked man shouted such a sentence that was easy to reveal his identity.

"He thinks I'm a "spectator"! ”

Joyce thought that the only person who would feel this way could be the person behind the "scales...... Sure enough, he was born in MI9.

After a few seconds, the masked man did not notice Joyce's mental fluctuations, and felt that his body was gradually getting colder, and he spoke again:

"Don't you wonder how William died? Let me tell you, William was killed by my own hands, slashing his throat one by one, and the blood bubbled out like a beautiful fountain! ”

"You won't escape this fate either!"

There were cruel words on his lips, but his body was very honest and slowly moved towards the gate, at this moment he was seriously injured, and he only had a short sword in his hand that he had touched from the coachman Karl, the odds of victory were really not high, and it was better to go.

Joyce watched the masked man's small movements.

Holding the "Blade of Oath" in his right hand and the "Eye of Social Death" in his left hand, the latter was picked up from the ground by him while he was in chaos, and it was through his mental hints that Joyce was able to maintain his emotional stability.

This is the lesson learned from the assassination of Chloe, and the casual mood swings are as dazzling as fireflies in the night sky for extraordinary people with high mental attributes.

When the "Assassin" sees the light, he becomes prey.

…………

Can't let him go, it's a great opportunity...... After a brief thought, Joyce quickly made a plan, kicking the chair he used to tie him up, and himself approaching the enemy from the side.

Although invisible, as a veteran mid-sequence extraordinary, the masked man was good enough to tell the difference between the wind, and he dodged the unidentified object flying from the front, while sideways to block Joyce's attack with a dagger.

The Arbiter has good fighting ability, and can reach Sequence 7, and the Masked Man's fighting level is only stronger than that of Sequence 9's "Assassin", which can be seen by his successive blocks of Joyce's attacks.

However, Joyce possessed the master-level weapon mastery and immense power brought by the "Oath-Broken Blade", and the two were evenly matched after a few rounds.

Intercepting the stabbing sword again, the masked man was slightly puzzled as to how Joyce had hidden such a long weapon on his body, but that didn't matter, because the dawn of victory had already arrived.

I saw that he found the right opportunity to release a "spiritual piercing" again when the two were going head-to-head.

Hearing Joyce's muffled snort, the masked man didn't have time to be surprised, because there was also a familiar sharp pain in his head, which generated an inexplicable fear.

This comes from the "deterrence" of the "psychiatrist".

Joyce is very familiar with the extraordinary abilities of the "Interrogator", not only the memories of reading novels in his previous life, but also the "detailed description of skills" left to him by "Judge" William.

Knowing each other, in order to end the battle quickly, Joyce devised such a plan to hurt each other.

He took the initiative to accept a "mental piercing", and at the same time, launched a "frenzy" against the masked man, and when both the enemy and the enemy were in a state of chaos, Joyce subconsciously raised his sword and stabbed the enemy in the heart.

His stabbing motion was slow and stiff, as if it were a rigid machine, but it turned out perfectly, and the "blade of the oath" plunged into the masked man's heart.

This mechanical action comes from the psychological suggestion he made to himself using the "Eye of Social Death": even if he can't think, he has to stab this sword.

Soon, the two of them regained consciousness from their confusion.

Joyce quickly retreated, preventing the enemy from fighting back to the death.

The masked man covered his heart with his hands, felt the rapid loss of body temperature and blood, looked at Joyce hidden in the shadows with a dull expression, and then collapsed.

At this moment, Joyce clearly felt that the remaining "assassin" potion in his body had been digested nine times out of ten, and even if he no longer played the deliberate assassination role, he could be promoted to the "instigator" of sequence eight in three or five days at most.

This performance also proves that the enemy is really dead...... Joyce sat on the ground with his butt and was "mentally impaled" three times in a short period of time, his willpower was close to the limit, and if it wasn't for the potion being greatly digested, I am afraid that there would be a risk of getting out of control.

The battle was won quite by luck, and the gap between Sequence 9 and Sequence 7 was very obvious, but fortunately, the right time and place were all on his side.

The first is that the two of them are in such a closed and cramped room, and the darkness gives him the best cover...... Second, the enemy let down their guard in the face of a lamb tied up to the slaughter...... By the way, he still thought I was a "spectator" with no actual combat ability...... It was all the combination of these factors that allowed him to take the lead in inflicting heavy losses on his opponent and ultimately win.

After three or five minutes, Joyce recovered and spent time when the enemy might be tricking the corpse.

He stepped forward and lifted the mask of the masked man, revealing a familiar face underneath, with a scar under his left eye standing out.

"Diego!"

"The major from MI9 who greeted him at tonight's banquet!"
