Chapter 17: The Hidden Assassin
Xia Youran said: "This is also what I can't figure out, even if the other Death God agents have the task of killing Liu Ling, but in the case that I don't have a task, there is really no need to attack me, I can't stop him from killing Liu Ling, let alone snatch the task from him." ”
After Xia Youran finished speaking, he fell silent with Mo Bai, the whole thing was weird, and the two of them now lacked the key to solving these puzzles.
At this time, there was a sudden sound outside the door, Mo Bai made a silent gesture towards Xia leisurely, quietly walked to the door, looked out through the glass, and could see a man standing in front of the main desk to register, and then the security guard led people in their direction.
"There is trouble. Mo Bai turned around and said, "Someone is coming." ”
Xia Youran pointed to the top of his head, then tied the wound with a cloth, stepped on the iron bed on the side, quickly removed the screws of the ventilation duct, and was about to hide in the ventilation duct.
"No, come down. ”
At this moment, Mo Bai's eyes suddenly flashed, and he rushed to Xia Youran's side, pulling out Xia Youran, who was about to burrow into the ventilation duct.
Boom!
Almost at the moment when Mo Bai dragged Xia Youran down, there was a sound of metal hitting in the ventilation duct.
Xia leisurely paused for a moment, grabbed the edge of the ventilation duct again and looked at it, and then broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Crossbow, someone has set up a mechanism in the ventilation duct." ”
The mechanism is a very simple mechanism, fix a crossbow in the ventilation duct, then tie the trigger with a thread, and hang the other end on the iron grille of the vent, Xia Youran removed the screws to open the iron grille, the line pulled the trigger, and then the crossbow arrow was fired, and Xia Youran's head was shot through with an arrow.
It's just that Mo Bai is alert enough, and there is a time limit for the morgue to claim the body, first of all, within three days, after three days, it will be sent to the crematorium, and secondly, before five o'clock in the afternoon, because after the family claims the body, the body can not continue to be placed in the morgue, and it will also be sent to the crematorium, and the crematorium will close after work at five o'clock.
It was already suspicious enough that an unrelated person would appear in the morgue at such a time, and Mo Bai also found that the man had glanced in their direction intentionally or unintentionally when he was registering, as if reminding them to run.
Bang!
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open.
Although Xia Youran escaped, the crossbow arrow flew at the bottom of the ventilation duct, and the sound it made completely alarmed the other party, and the security guard hurriedly ran to the door of the mortuary, and one hand had already touched the plastic stick on his waist.
"Who are you?" the security guard shouted at Mo Bai and Xia Youran, "Come out for me." ”
Mo Bai blocked Xia leisurely behind him, and then walked towards the door honestly, he could pierce the throat of the security guard with his fingernails when he raised his hand, but the agent of death had no right to deprive ordinary people of their lives, and indiscriminate killing was never allowed.
But at this time......
Syllable!
A knife slammed into the back of the guard's neck, and the security guard fell to the ground with his eyes black and his head dizzy, and then the man walked into the mortuary.
"So there are two?" the man grinned, "good harvest." ”
Xia said leisurely: "Who are you?"
Mo Bai was the first to spy on the other party's life, but the information displayed in front of him surprised him suddenly.
Xu An: ???
Life:???
Death:???
The man's name is Xu An, but the lifespan and death information are all question marks, which are exactly the same as when he spied on Xia Youran, all of them are question marks.
Mo Bai said: "Death agent?"
Xu An obviously didn't mean to answer the question, and suddenly raised his hand and smashed it towards Mo Bai's head, and at the same time as it fell, a short blade about the length of his forearm slashed out of Xu An's cuff and slashed towards Mo Bai's shoulder.
Mo Bai's shoulders immediately sank, his feet stepped on the figure-eight, sideways to avoid the knife, and reached out to grab Xu An's chest, at the same time, the falling short blade suddenly changed its move, turned into a cut, and slashed at Mo Bai's chest.
Shhh
Electrifying Stonefire!
The two of them took half a step back almost at the same time, and the clothes on Mo Bai's chest were cut open by a short blade, but Mo Bai also took an extra broken step in his hand, grabbing a piece of the clothes on Xu An's chest.
Xu An said: "Your skills are good, but you don't look like you practiced by yourself at your age, and you used Soul Gathering, right?"
Xia Youran said: "We don't have the task of killing Liu Ling, if you want to complete the task, we won't obstruct it." ”
A sneer hung on the corner of Xu An's mouth: "Don't compare me with you, I won't kill innocent people at will, it's you who I want to kill!"
Before Xu An's words fell, he raised the short blade in his hand and slashed downward, Mo Bai raised his arm and reached out to grab Xu An's wrist, but was lightly avoided, and then the two of them raised their feet and kicked each other at the same time, and after each of them took a kick, they covered their lower abdomen and stepped back.
"You go first. Mo Bai pushed Xia Youran away and said, "I'll stop him!"
Xu An said: "You two can't go." ”
Xu An swung his short blade and slashed at Xia Youran on the side, but Mo Bai raised his leg first and kicked it on his wrist, and then, Mo Bai stepped forward and crashed into Xu An's arms, grabbing Xu An's wrist and trying to grab the knife.
Burst!
In the midst of the entanglement, the short blade stabbed towards the wall, which was as fragile as tofu, and after a muffled sound, the short blade was unexpectedly unswerving.
This stab confirmed that Xu An had a problem, ordinary swords, no matter how exquisite the craftsmanship was, would never be able to do it to such a point, words like sharpening iron like mud and blowing hair and breaking hair, most of the time they were just descriptions, and Mo Bai almost immediately thought of the production of the Death Treasure House.
The two of them were entangled with the short blade, and they would not let each other go, and the short blade moved little by little between the two of them, and it actually cut the wall inch by inch.
Mo Bai yelled at Xia Youran: "Hurry up!"
Xia Youran gritted her teeth and quickly pushed open the door, she had been a god of death agent for a long time, she was more experienced than Mo Bai, and she had more death props in her hands, but Xia Youran was not good at fighting, and she didn't have such a soul gathering.
Xu An gritted his teeth and said, "I can't run." ”
Xu An suddenly let go of the short blade, and was about to chase after Xia Youran sideways, Mo Bai immediately raised his leg backwards, blocking Xu An, and then reached out to clasp Xu An's shoulder.
Shhh
As soon as Mo Bai exerted his strength, sharp nails slashed across Xu An's arm, and while scraping off five strips of cloth, Xu An's arm also left five blood marks.
Xu An looked at the wounds on his body, and there was no fear on his face, only hidden anger.
Mo Bai said: "Your current opponent is me. ”
Xu An said angrily: "Then kill you first." ”
As soon as Xu An raised his foot forward, he kicked towards Mo Bai, and the moment he was dodged, his body swirled, and he followed by his foot and swept towards Mo Bai's chest, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them made five or six moves against each other.
Mo Bai didn't know if Xu An had such good skills, or if he had the same soul-gathering relationship as himself, but he could feel the anger from Xu An's moves.
Xu An really wanted to kill him!
Thinking like this, after Mo Bai dodged to avoid Xu An's fist again, he suddenly saw Xu An's fingers curl unnaturally, and a bad feeling came to his heart inexplicably, and the body that was avoiding on the side suddenly stagnated, and quickly turned into a retreat.
Burst!
Like the sound of a cloth being torn, immediately after, Mo Bai blocked the forearm in front of him, and inexplicably opened a wound, and the red blood seeped out.
Mo Bai bared his teeth in pain, looked down, the wound was thin and straight, about half an inch, as if it had been cut out by a sharp weapon, but Xu An's hands were empty, and the sharp short blade was still stuck in the wall on the side.
Mo Bai gritted his teeth and said, "Invisible cutting line!"
Xu An sneered and said, "You're smarter than that woman." ”
The line is a weapon that is difficult to think of, but the line can definitely be used as a weapon, as long as it is tough and sharp enough, it can also cut people's throats lightly, like piano lines and some fishing lines can do it, and the invisible cutting line, as a prop produced by the treasure house of death, is naturally sharper and tougher, and more importantly, the invisible cutting line focuses on the word invisible, which means that it cannot be seen by the naked eye.
The wound on Xia Youran's body was caused by Xu An when he passed by her, and the same was true for the wound on Mo Bai's body.
Mo Bai said: "You can use the props in the Reaper's Treasury, which should be something that only the Reaper agent can do, but looking at your attitude, it seems that you have a great prejudice against the Reaper agent, who are you?"
"Prejudice? no, there is not the slightest prejudice!" Xu An's face suddenly changed, and he instantly became extremely hideous: "It's hate!"
Xu An's palm fell, and when he was still two meters away from Mo Bai, he split down, such a distance obviously couldn't hit Mo Bai, but Xu An's hand was still wrapped with an invisible cutting line.
Mo Bai jumped to the side almost at the same time, and some wolves rolled on the ground, which barely avoided it, and when he looked back, there were three extremely fine cutting marks on the floor, although they were only as thick as a hair, they were three points into the ground.
Xu An couldn't strike a blow, so he immediately shook his hand and came again, but Mo Bai grabbed the front and flashed to the side.
The wireless cutting line is powerful, but it is also very difficult to manipulate, Mo Bai can't see those, but he can see Xu An's fingers constantly bending, obviously manipulating those lines, and as long as Xu An's fingers move, Mo Bai will run immediately.
After moving several times like this, Mo Bai was forced to retreat to the center of the room, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and when Xu An attacked again, Mo Bai jumped up suddenly, stepped on the freezer where the corpse was stored on the side and borrowed his strength, jumped into the air, raised his hand and grabbed it upward, that position was the entrance and exit of the ventilation duct, and as soon as he broke his hands, Mo Bai took advantage of his strength to drill into the ventilation duct, wanting to escape.
"Humph!"
Xu An snorted coldly, raised his hand to grasp the void, and tied the ventilation pipe with an invisible cutting line, and then, with a sudden force, the ventilation pipe "creaked" and was cut off by the invisible cutting line.
