Chapter 31: The Assassin's Creed

Assassin......

An ancient profession that pursues a one-hit kill in the dark, and in the history of the Inner World, there are many times in which Assassins have faced each other against each other. And if two Assassins collide together, the most important thing is to see which one can catch the other's tracks first......

Zhao Yingkong noticed something strange at the first time, after she killed the eighth Death Eater and gained 3,000 bonus points, she immediately noticed that something was wrong when she stepped into the ninth cell...... The prisoner in front of him was leaning against the wall, seemingly asleep, but he was not breathing.

There were a few tiny footprints on the ground, and he didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts, judging by the size of a woman.

The lock at the doorway has not been broken, and there is no sign of the iron railing being broken, probably by some method of bone reduction or something.

- Does that mean that the other party is also an Assassin?

The moment she saw the corpse, Zhao Yingkong's brain was running rapidly, as a new generation of genius assassins from the Assassin family, she had already gone through an unknown amount of hell training - not learning how to kill, but also the aftermath of the killing, such as trace inquiry, killing methods, death posture, force analysis, and so on.

In many cases, the Assassins were unable to reveal the true cause of the deceased's death, and even had to erase all traces of their murder and disguise the deceased as having died of natural causes.

In order to counter the modern technological development and keep up with the pace of the times, the old Assassin family did not abandon the ancient system of Assassin training, but also required the new generation of Assassins to study a series of books such as criminal traces...... After all, it's not difficult to kill someone, but how to deal with what happens after that without exposing yourself is the real difficulty.

As the undoubted NO.1 among the Eastern Assassin families, Zhao Yingkong naturally did the best in all aspects, and in just a few seconds, the three-dimensional simulation of the prisoner's death had been constructed in his mind.

- There was an extremely small blood mark on the throat and neck of the deceased, judging by this size, as well as the posture and force of the deceased after he fell......

Zhao Yingkong's mind kept seeing one weapon after another, disappearing one after another, and what was finally left in her mind was a slender blade that could be hidden in a glove.

……

The assassin of the Indo-Continent team, Celesti walks in the shadows.

Seresti is a B-rank Master Assassin bloodline, derived from a game called Assassin's Creed, which is divided into C-Rank, B-Rank and the highest A-Tier. Moreover, every time the Master Assassin bloodline is strengthened, he can obtain two additional skills from it in a way similar to spiritual inheritance, just like Zhang Heng's Wind Elf Archer comes with the skill Wind Arrow, and the Electric Elf Archer comes with the skill Electric Arrow.

Of course, it wasn't the bloodline that attracted Celesti with additional abilities, but the main god's credo about the Assassin Brotherhood...... All things are false, and all things are allowed.

In Celesti's eyes, this creed simply spoke directly to her heart. In India, a country where the upper and lower levels are strict and all classes are solidified, Celesti, who was born in poverty, is most envious of those assassins who have disappeared from the stories, assassinated the brutal ruling class, and upheld justice for the people.

And this creed allowed Celesti to strengthen this bloodline without hesitation, and she also gained two accompanying skills...... Leap of Faith and Eagle Eye.

Leap of Faith is a very strange ability that has no other effect, other than making Celesti never fall to her death when jumping from a great height. The principle of this skill Celesti has not yet been figured out, but she also has some guesses of her own, this skill may be like a cat, in the air can subconsciously make various movements to adjust their body, slow down the impact of landing, so that the body will not be injured.

This skill is useful and useful, and it is useless to say it is useless, but another skill, Eagle Eye, is a real practical skill. Similar to the Eagle Pupil at Zero, Celesti was able to easily spot enemies lurking in the darkness, which was a great advantage for Assassins, especially in Assassin battles. At least in the team's sparring battles, Jackal Doctor Arot's stealth skills can't completely hide from Celesti's Eagle Eye.

And after exchanging the bloodline, the main god actually opened a skill for her, the exchange authority of "bloodline traceability", so that this rookie assassin can experience the magnificent lives of those masters of the Assassin Brotherhood in history through the power of bloodline. Thanks to this exclusive skill, Celesti quickly grew up and quickly unlocked the first genetic lock in horror films.

The opening of the First Order gave Celesti the confidence she took, and she began to imitate the Assassin masters of her bloodline's memories, silent, hooded, and stealthy assassinations...... Although she surrendered to the little monk's strong strength for a while, if she found an opportunity, she would not mind stabbing the deadly Hidden Blade in the back of this captain.

And Aroth's death made Celesti applaud even more, she had been unhappy with this bloodthirsty and murderous werewolf doctor for a long time...... But the situation of negative points also made her have to plan ahead to avoid being wiped out by negative points.

This time, it was Celesti who took the initiative to infiltrate the interior of Azkaban. On the one hand, her abilities are indeed suitable for this kind of stealth operation, and on the other hand, she also hides her own selfish intentions...... Let the other members of the Inzhou team fight to the death with the Central Continent team, and you can kill some Death Eaters to earn bonus points, and wait until the main battlefield is divided before waiting for the opportunity.

Could it be that the Yinzhou team, which is judged to be stronger than the Zhongzhou team at the main god, will still fail? The joke is not funny.

(This is the fourth one...... )

Due to the Death Eaters' invasion of Azkaban, the original felons were unguarded at the door, and only a few defensive magic shimmered slightly. In the eyes of the wizarding guards, these Death Eaters who had been imprisoned for many years were only "alive", not only did they not have a magic wand, but they were also physically weak and unable to stand steadily, and it was completely impossible for them to escape with their own strength.

However, Celesti, who had obtained the method of disarming the defense from the inner ghost in advance, was able to pass all the way unimpeded...... However, Celesti scoffed at the Death Eaters' task of rescuing prisoners.

- There are no side quests to trigger the main god, no reward points and side plots, only vague promises and post-war support, and a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who have difficulty walking are brought out of Azkaban safely...... This kind of task is something that only an idiot would do.

So Celesti made up her mind at the beginning that killing this group of Death Eaters could not only uphold her own justice, but also earn bonus points, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. As for the consequences of doing these things...... At that time, he had already returned to the main god space, so what did he care about the flood after that?

Celesti easily lifted the doorway and entered the cell. She didn't deliberately hide her whereabouts, nor did she unlock the first-order genetic lock, after all, the previous assassinations were successful, which also made her let her guard down.

But just as she stepped into the cell, ready to use her Hidden Blade to slap the throat of the Death Eater lying on the bed, a moon-like sword light suddenly struck from the shadow of her side perspective!

This sword light was completely murderous, it came quickly and violently, and it wasn't until she was about to die that Celesti suddenly felt a chill coming from behind her, and hurriedly opened the first-order gene lock, and her body was slightly sideways.

There was no sound, and the moment Yaksha made contact with his body, it was like a blade merging into flowing water, removing most of Celesti's shoulder and left arm. If Celesti hadn't dodged it at the last moment, this knife could have pierced her heart!

Celesti felt pain in her left arm, and her foe swung her fingers sideways, their nails as sharp as steel knives leaving several marks on her throat. If Celesti hadn't shrunk back, this attack would have sliced her entire trachea open.

But Celesti also knew that this was not the time to exhale, and with a slight hook of the little finger of her right hand, two smoke grenades fell from the cuffs and exploded in the cell, completely obscuring the vision of the two.

This smoke bomb was redeemed by Celesti spending a D-class side plot in the main god space, which can completely obscure vision, hinder the sense of smell at the same time, and even block the scanning of infrared rays and temperature heat spectrum. The only drawback is the short duration, which lasts less than ten seconds...... And in order to protect his life, Celesti even threw down as many as two.

Before dropping the smoke grenades, Celesti had already found the right direction for the exit, and with the hardness of these iron bars, it only took a flick of the Hidden Blade to break through the door. But just as she was about to sprint out with all her might, there was a feeling of extreme danger in her body......

You can't run in that direction, or you'll die!

In the midst of the lightning and fire, Celesti decided to trust her feelings rather than a panicked judgment. She didn't even dare to reveal the sound of breathing, and chose the direction with the weakest premonition of danger from her heart.

The smoke comes and goes as fast as it goes. When the smoke cleared, Celesti realized that she had reached the innermost part of the cell, next to the prisoner's bed, and a little girl with a cold face blocked the only exit. When she looked closer, she was shocked to find that the door of the cell was full of dense wires with the thickness of her hair......

The moment he saw the wire, a cold sweat broke out on Celesti's back, and the enemy in front of him had already laid a deadly trap at some point. She didn't dare to think about how many pieces of minced meat she would have turned into if she had really run away like a fly just now......

But just because she escaped doesn't mean Celesti has escaped.

Celesti gritted her teeth, surrounded by thick walls, and there was no escape path at all, but when she saw the Death Eater lying on the bed even though the sky was falling apart outside, the assassin of the Indian team suddenly became blessed and shouted at Zhao Yingkong: "Wait, you are also here to kill these prisoners to get reward points!" We can work together! ”

Zhao Yingkong didn't bother to listen to Celesti's words, she turned the yaksha in her hand around, shook off the blood stains on it, and then prepared to attack again. But Celesti's next words stopped her: "You should be an Assassin too, aren't we Assassins supposed to help each other and fight for freedom like the Assassin Brotherhood?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Hearing this paragraph, even Zhao Yingkong felt a strong sense of absurdity coming, so much so that this assassin girl, who didn't want to have any communication with a dying person, couldn't help but speak: "What kind of assassin brotherhood, you have a broken brain......"

Seeing that the enemy in front of her had not made a move for the time being, Celesti was also relieved, in her opinion, as long as she showed her willingness to talk: "Don't you know about the Assassin Brotherhood?" The Assassin Brotherhood originated from the great Egyptian leader of the Assassins, Bayek, and its ideas can be traced back to the early days of human civilization, when humanity rebelled against their creators. ”

"Isn't Adam and Eve's feat of leading humanity in the struggle against oppression and in the search for free will the most primitive of the Assassins? For thousands of years, the Assassin Brotherhood has been secretly maintaining social order, following the Assassin creed, cultivating the darkness and serving the light......"

"What kind of mess?"

Zhao Yingkong said coldly, this genius assassin of the assassin family shouldn't have said more nonsense, but the enemy in front of her was so stupid that she couldn't suppress her anger: "Assassins have no past, no future, killing is just to complete the task, and all you get from it is nothingness...... What do you think an assassin is? ”

"The only way to be an assassin is to hide in the shadows and kill your enemies, that's all!"

Celesti was sweating profusely, but she still showed a mocking expression, and said, "That's a pity, you haven't found your own Assassin's Creed, so you, although your strength is much stronger than mine, but ......"

"Boom!"

An explosion suddenly came from behind Celesti, blasting through the walls and opening the way to escape. Zhao Yingkong was stunned for a moment, Celesti had already raised his hand and threw out two hidden blades, and at the same time fled into the darkness desperately, and disappeared into the shadows in a blink of an eye.

And after Zhao Yingkong flew two Hidden Blades with a Yaksha, she didn't immediately catch up, because she clearly saw that the enemy's back had been blown up to a bloody blur the moment Celesti turned around, revealing the white bones of Sensen. Celesti actually planted a small bomb directly behind him, otherwise it would be impossible to deceive Zhao Yingkong's sight......

Zhao Yingkong was confident enough in her attack, and she knew that the injury caused by her fingernail had slightly cut Celesti's throat. Combined with the severed arm and the injuries caused by the detonation at any cost, Celesti couldn't get far from it.

Even, the faster Celesti runs, the more she can't breathe, and the faster she dies. Instead of cornering the other party, it is better to let her lose the last bit of strength in the escape...... Reward points and side plots for killing enemies are already in the bag.

- But is it your own Assassin's Creed?

Zhao Yingkong held the dagger like this, half of his body hidden in the shadows, thoughtful......
