Chapter 150: Shock
When Hug Artois saw the glittering silver fork stabbing at him, his first reaction was surprise and confusion.
He couldn't believe that someone would assassinate his congressman under heavy protection in such a scene.
And the strength of the assassin didn't seem particularly powerful.
Although he is a retired veteran, he has left the army for five or six years, entered the political arena, neglected to fight, and when the two sides are only one step closer, he is simply unable to make an effective dodge.
Not to mention him, even if he is an extraordinary person in Sequence 9 or even Sequence 8, after being "sneaked" to his side by the assassin and broke out with an "all-out blow", there is a high probability that he will not be able to dodge, and he can only see if his own ability can help avoid the vital point or reduce the damage, avoiding the result of dying on the spot.
Of course, some Sequence 8 or Sequence 9 Extraordinaries can detect danger or hostility in advance, and will not let the Assassin actually approach and attack.
In the midst of the lightning, Hugue Artois turned his gaze to the red-haired Cassandra, to the three official extraordinaires, and to his subordinates Rhône, Marguerite and Beaudois.
But what caught his eyes was Cassandra who was blocked by the half-breed Imre, who only showed a little red hair, the official extraordinaries Imre and Antoine who looked at him with calm and indifferent eyes, Valentine, who reacted immediately but controlled himself, and seemed to be struggling, and Rone, Marguerite and Beaudois who wanted to use extraordinary abilities to save people and did not dare to expose the gifts of the evil gods. This moment, Huge.
Artois felt a deep sense of despair in his heart.
Save me! Help me!
With a pop, the long-handled silver fork plunged deep into Hugue Artois's right eye, and was thrust by Jana's full body force, piercing the eye socket and penetrating the whole brain, leaving only a small stalk outside.
Hug Artois's thoughts flickered at the lake.
He tried to reach out and grab something, but he couldn't lift his arm.
Have I become president...... Have I yet ushered in the arrival of great beings...... I have not yet received the gift of divinity...... I can't just die...... Killed by an assassin who wasn't very powerful...... I, I don't want to die...... A series of thoughts flashed through Hugue Artois's mind, and a thumping gunshot rang in his ears.
His body fell to the ground, and his vision turned to darkness.
Plop, the MP for the Candid Market District, Hugue Artois, fell to the ground, his heart stopping.
In the light that lit up in the direction of the chaotic street, Jana, who was smiling with her eyes closed, was shot once by the nearby agents of the Seventh Bureau.
A bullet hit her in the shoulder, and a bullet hit the other side in the ribs.
The pain made her expression instinctively change, and her body subconsciously shrank in the opposite direction, as if she was about to curl up.
Her eyes opened, and she saw Ronne and other cultists staring at her in great hatred and panic, but they didn't make a move.
In the next second, a golden pistol with a magazine was pressed against Jana's head, and the half-breed Imrey looked around and said, "I have controlled the assassins, you can see if Mr. Councillor is still saved, and maintain order at the scene, and do not let anyone leave for the time being."
He put on a posture of taking Jane back to the church of St. Robles or asking about the reason for the assassination and the mastermind behind it, so as not to let Cassandra and others vent their anger.
As the "Shadow Tree" settled, a blazing light came out of it, and the streets that had been separated in different places returned to their original state, but still under the wilderness.
Luminian had sensed that Suzanne Matisse could not seem to stir up her desires from a great distance, as she had done before, so she turned around and planned to settle Charlotte first.
The crimson flames on his body burned brightly, blackening his clothes and causing varying degrees of burns on his skin and flesh, which continued to cause pain.
This stimulates his brain, allowing him to maintain a certain level of lucidity while using the "dervishes" to maintain his thoughts and actions instead of fighting pain.
even though
For "arsonists", such burnings can also be harmful, and over time, they will become more and more serious to the point of endangering lives.
Of course, long before that, Lumien's spirituality should not be able to afford it, and he could only let the flame extinguish itself.
If it weren't for the fact that he still had the gift of the "Dervishesh Monk", after the battle inside the "Shadow Tree", after such a period of self-burning and consumption just now, his current spirituality should have been a little tight.
Seeing that Lumian turned around, and saw that the "Red Boots" Franca was holding a brass-colored classical revolver, stepping on a layer of frost condensed from the ground, and rushing to this side in a gliding and flying attitude, Xia Green gave up the idea of sneak attack and prepared to return to the "Shadow Tree" to deal with the enemy with the help of the environment there and the improvement of some of his abilities.
Her body instantly softened, as if a little mucus was secreted, and she "acted" the snake creature, taking advantage of the environment full of vines and branches, to quickly return to the brown-green giant tree.
At this moment, Emperor Xia Ludi's body froze.
It was like facing a giant dragon, facing the hunter at the top of the biological chain, and she could not contain her instinctive fear and trembling, and she became extremely panicked.
She ran around where she was standing, as if she were running away from an unseen enemy.
Not far from her, dangling the vines and branches of the Golden Rooster Hotel, Anthony Ryder, an intelligence monger, stepped out from behind the iron-black gas lamppole.
At some point, his dark brown eyes turned golden and stood up.
He is a "psychiatrist", the "psychiatrist" of the "spectator" approach.
I just used "Shock"!
In very ancient times, this was also called "Longwei"!
The brown-green vines and branches around Anthony Ryder that were controlled by Suzanne instead of the Shadow Tree were also frightened and fled from him.
Seeing that Xia Lu had lost her mind and fallen into chaos, unable to dodge Lu Mi'an's attack any longer, Susanna, who was desperately trying to absorb her essence, narrowed her eyes and cursed with resentment, "You will all die, you will all die today!"
Whoosh! On the Shadow Tree, newly grown trunks that did not belong to the main body were thrown at Lumian in the form of javelins, trying to pierce his body and plunge him into the wilderness.
In addition to the ability to use the Fallen Treant, Suzanne Matisse has not yet recovered to the extent that it can affect targets tens of meters away.
Lumian had expected a tumble into the area where Charlotte was running in a chaotic circle.
Dongdongdong's voice rang out, and those tree trunks and javelins were inserted, not far from him, like a hammer striking hard into the wilderness.
Lumian stood up, with a crimson flame, and opened his arms slightly, laughing loudly, "Come on, kill me!"
If Suzanne covers the area again with a saturation attack, he will still be able to find a way to dodge, and Charlotte will surely die in the chaos!
As he shouted, behind Lumien, half-illusory crimson fire ravens once again condensed, circling and trajecting several trajectories to lock on to Charlotte Calvino.
Branches and vines swelled wildly on the ground, enveloping Charlotte and protecting her.
The rumbling sound continued to sound, and the crimson fire ravens landed on Charlotte's body, shattering the branches, igniting the vines, and peeling off the shell of the "actor" layer by layer.
Bang!
Franca, who had already closed the distance considerably, raised her right hand cooperatively and pulled the trigger.
An iron-black bullet flew out of the antique brass-colored revolver and struck Charlotte in the head with the help of the gaps opened by the fire crows.
The seductive and pure delicate face was torn apart in an instant, and the eyes, nose, and mouth were splattered everywhere with red and white liquid.
The corpse, with only the mutilated head left, ran a few more chaotic steps, and finally collapsed to the ground.
"Die!" Suzanne roared.
With that sentence, the brown branches,
Green vines, thick branches, and colorful flowers flocked to Lumien, Franca, and Anthony in all sorts of ways.
Although the scene was extremely scary, Lumian did not have a premonition of danger.
With Suzanne Matisse still not recovering to a certain level, this kind of attack that consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy seems to be in vain.
Lumian ran again, rushing into what looked like a primeval forest with the crimson flames that were burning his own flesh.
The vines were ignited, the flowers were burned, the branches were blackened, the branches were avoided, and none of them could stop the enemy from approaching the Shadow Tree.
Suddenly, the things shrank back, and the humans who had been suspended were retracted back to the Tree of Shadows.
Suzanne has already figured it out, there is no need to waste energy to vent her anger, it is better to wait for the three prey to close the distance by themselves, enter the range where desire can play a role, and then use the best ability to take care of them.
She is very unwilling to be weak at the moment, which is one of the reasons why she did not recite the incantation to ask for help at first, before pulling the sacrifice into the "Shadow Tree", the Divine Son did not dare to appear in Trier, and after that, on the one hand, she was confident, and on the other hand, she had to advance the sacrifice to a certain level, and after obtaining the protection of that ritual, she could use the combination with the "Shadow Tree" to face the Divine Son.
That Son of God is extremely crazy, and he will never restrain the pollution he may bring for the sake of his subordinates.
And the "Moon Lady" only promised to intercept the would-be saboteurs for a while, and Suzanne did not dare to let the followers of the other gods retreat into the "Shadow Tree".
Kicking and kicking, Lumian ran through the suddenly empty wilderness and slightly dilapidated streets to the brown-green tree, and Franca and Anthony each chose an entry point to follow from different directions.
The unfortunate hawkers, pedestrians, and tenants who had not yet been lifted by the branches and vines took the opportunity to flee around the wilderness, to the edge.
