Chapter 233: An assassination, Ji Xun hasn't played a low-end game for a long time
"Song Yu?"
Ji Xun listened to this, and then looked at the girl in the princess dress, and his eyes shone slightly: "It turns out that she is really the daughter of the Song family." ”
He didn't think it was a coincidence.
If nothing else, this is the "Ah Yu" lady of her pen pal.
I was teleported here by the Void in Honglou before, because of the stamp with the catastrophic thing.
And the boss behind Hong Lou is the Song family of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce.
They are all federal chambers of commerce, and those with the surname Song are most likely the same.
Ji Xun didn't know why he was teleported to the remote Boton Machinery Town in the western part of the Federation.
Now that he saw this, he already understood why.
"Huh."
Ji Xun chuckled, and then said to himself in an imperceptible voice: "However, is this noble lady so extravagant and capricious?" Even if you really want to meet, it would be nice to send someone to inform you. Is it worth using catastrophic things?"
Cataclysms aren't for everyone.
If you think about it with your toes, if you want to teleport a person over, the cost must be very high.
However, as soon as Ji Xun's thought popped up, he felt that something was not quite right.
The timeline span of those letters is also a bit long
It doesn't seem like a simple teleportation.
Before he could figure out anything, the little turtledove on the side tugged and said, "Sir, it's our turn!" ”
Ji Xun and Little Turtledove each received a bowl of hot broth and an arm-sized amount of bread.
Like the other refugees, the two found a corner to squat and eat.
Being able to drink hot broth on this cold rainy day has a satisfied smile on everyone's face.
Although the little turtledove is only five or six years old, it has a poignant skill. He had adapted well to the life of a refugee, and he broke the hard black bread into several pieces, carefully hid it in the inner lining of his clothes, and nibbled on only a small piece in his hand.
But at this moment, when he turned his head to look, he saw that Ji Xun had already stuffed most of the black bread into his mouth.
The little turtledove exclaimed, "Ah sir, why are you done eating?" ”
Ji Xun glanced at him: "Hmm??? ”
"I know you're hungry, but it won't be until at least three days before the next distribution happens," said the little turtledove about what refugees must know. You'll finish eating today, and you'll starve later. And my father said that people who are too hungry should not eat too much at once, otherwise it will be harmful to the body."
"Your father is a very professional doctor."
Ji Xun listened and responded.
But Xiaoxiao didn't care, and said, "It's okay, I'll go find food later." ”
His body is now in desperate need of some energy recovery.
The recovery effect of the immortal curse or something is not good, but the [Giant Food] of the Dragonborn bloodline still works well, and the fast-digesting food also makes the body finally have some strength.
When the little turtledove heard this, he glanced at Ji Xun, who didn't even have clothes, and said with a sad face: "But there is no money, and it is difficult to buy food."
"Hmm. I can always think of a way. ”
Ji Xun also thought it was quite interesting.
It's the first time I've been starving in this world.
However, he's a third-order card master.
If you recover a little, you won't be bothered by food.
Just as he stuffed the last piece of black bread in his hand into his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Hey, is it Old Man Xu?" ”
At that moment, he saw an old man in tattered clothes in the crowd of people queuing up to receive bread.
The obscene front teeth are probably not mistaken.
"How did he get here?"
Ji Xun thought that the last time he said goodbye was Xia Mucheng's underground palace, this old man said the law and destroyed the ancestor of the Bai family with a thunder method.
It also made him confirm that this old man was a real master.
But
Isn't it in the Old Continent, how did you run to this western part of the Federation?
Just as I was thinking about going up to say hello, the crowd suddenly surged, and in a blink of an eye, there was no one to be seen.
And at this time, without waiting to look for someone, Ji Xun frowned violently, and turned his face to look at the other side: "Murderous? What are these guys going to do?"
He glanced out of his corner and saw a few suspicious-looking guys mixed among the refugees.
Although they were dressed like refugees.
But the disguise that is not clever is not a secret in Ji Xun's eyes.
That ill-intentioned aura is out of place in a group of grateful refugees.
Ordinary people don't have storage rings, and even many card master apprentices don't.
The men had a bulge under their clothes, and they looked like they were hiding weapons.
However, this kind of crappy assassin, even if Ji Xun found out, he didn't take it seriously.
Just followed the wandering gaze of a few people, and was looking at these people who seemed to be staring at Song Yu who walked down from the Machinery City, but he frowned slightly: "Towards that Miss Song family?" ”
Robbers, or what kind of enemy?
Ji Xun thought for a moment and quietly walked over.
A closer look reveals that there are more than a dozen ill-intentioned people hiding among the refugees.
"Was it a premeditated assassination?"
Ji Xun looked at this posture and knew that these were some minions in front of him, and there should be a mastermind behind the scenes.
But since he came, it was impossible for his mysterious pen pal to be assassinated by a group of unscrupulous assassins.
After observing it carefully for a while, he didn't perceive any particularly high-level existence.
Ji Xun didn't feel threatened at all.
It's normal to think about a remote town like Boton Machinery Town.
It's not like Innocence City is a mix of dragons and snakes.
Unconsciously, Ji Xun walked to the factory recruitment bulletin board.
There are also two guys hiding here who have put their hands deep into their clothes, looking at the guns hidden in their arms.
Ji Xun only glanced at the rest of the light, and then didn't look any further.
This kind of crappy killer doesn't need to be taken seriously at all.
Instead, he looked at the job posting on the announcement.
Just now, I just thought I had heard it wrong, but when he saw that the recruitment salary was written on the notice, he also muttered in his heart: "The salary is really low enough"
He didn't understand why the wages in this place were so much lower than in Innocence City.
At this time, Song Yu, who was dressed in a princess dress, also walked to the sign and said to everyone: "If you want to work, our Rose Chamber of Commerce has set up a new machinery factory, a textile factory and a gold smelter in the town of Boton. We currently need about 2,000 people, and we will expand the production line and continue to recruit workers. You can take a look. ”
The girl's appearance and tone are obviously a little immature.
But that sincerity is very contagious.
The refugees applauded this statement.
"Oh my God, is that true? Is there really a factory that can accommodate thousands of people? ”
"Oh, I haven't heard of such high wages in factories. If I really want to have 200 yuan a month, I can support my family alone and half the size of the children."
"Praise the kind and beautiful Miss Song, it was you who saved us and gave us hope in life"
“.”
The refugees saluted with gratitude.
However, in this period of harmony, things have risen sharply.
A gunshot suddenly shattered the beauty.
A guy in the crowd suddenly burst out, took out a pistol and fired two shots at Song Yu on the high platform.
It's a pity that the marksmanship is too poor and misses.
These are war refugees, and they are particularly sensitive to the sound of gunfire, and almost the moment the gun goes off, everyone panics.
Ji Xun in the crowd was very calm.
In fact, he had already detected the signs of the killer's outburst, but he ignored them.
The trajectory of the firearm is easy to predict, and in Ji Xun's current vision, from the moment the gunman pulls the trigger of the gun, he has actually predicted that those guys will not hit.
What's more, that Miss Song Yu also had guards by her side.
At this gunshot, the guards around Song Yu also changed their expressions: "Miss Protection!" ”
Seven or eight guards were beside Song Yu.
The first gunshot was fired, announcing the beginning of the assassination.
The dozen or so killers also took action, and all kinds of guns suddenly spewed tongues of fire.
The two sides immediately exchanged fierce fire.
Almost at the same time, the captain of the guard of the Rose Chamber of Commerce, who was standing on the wall of the Machinery City, shouted violently: "Miss has been attacked!" Hurry up and protect Miss! ”
"Yes!"
The guards just responded.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a fat woman screamed in horror and stopped: "Captain Loki, don't go down!" ”
The captain named Loki looked stunned and said anxiously, "But Lady Mera, Miss has met an assassin!" ”
The fat woman had never encountered such a scene, and her face turned pale with fright: "You guys go, who will protect me?" Besides, those Assassins may be coming for me, and you must keep me safe! ”
"This"
Loki listened with embarrassment, but didn't dare say anything.
He is a full-time guard of the Song family, and this time he is here to protect this Lady Mera.
As she spoke, the fat woman looked at the corpses lying in a pool of blood, and exclaimed, "Don't you hurry up and protect me and go back to the apartment!" ”
The guards could only reply: "Yes! ”
The obese woman said in fear as she ran: "Oh my God, it's terrible, I heard that there were thugs among the refugees before, but I didn't expect to meet them." I wouldn't have come to this backwoods if I had known. I told Ah Yu that girl not to go, don't go and hang out with those poor ghosts, but I want to go, it's good that something has happened now."
Ji Xun originally wanted to watch the battle, but after watching it for a moment, his brows suddenly furrowed.
"Aren't there any expert guards?"
He also felt very surprised, with the strength of the Song family of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, how could the escort team not be so shabby.
The captain of the national-faced guard squad beside Song Yu is only a second-order?
There are only two official card masters left, and the rest are card disciples.
A group of guards wanted to escort their young lady back to the Machine City to take refuge, but the Assassins had already planned and had already arranged for men to block the way back to the Machine City.
The group could only find cover all the way through the town, fighting and retreating.
Although he was protected by the second-order guard team leader, Song Yu was not in danger for the time being.
But after all, there is a huge gap in the numerical advantage of the two sides.
Almost immediately after the exchange of fire, two more guards were killed.
Seeing that Song Yu was about to encounter danger in the random gun.
When Ji Xun saw this, the corners of his mouth furled.
It's not that I feel pressured in this scene, but it's strange, and I always feel that I see something unreal: how can the escort group be so weak?
But when you think about it, the crisis is also real.
Those killers seemed to have calculated the strength of the guards around Song Yu for a long time, in addition to a dozen gunmen, there were also masters.
It was at this moment that suddenly there was a sudden sound of steam in my ears.
In the room next to him, a one-eyed man wearing a heavy mechanical arm suddenly appeared.
With a "poof", the steam in the high-pressure spray can was deflated, and a huge mechanical flying claw was like a battering ram, and it smashed on the stone wall of the bunker where the Song family and his party were hiding.
Although this mechanical claw looks a little rudimentary, the power is a real exaggeration.
The stone was shattered into a cloud of rubble and dust at the touch of a mechanical claw.
Torrential raindrops are everywhere.
The Song family and his party were instantly exposed to the air.
In the blink of an eye, it was set on fire by more than a dozen muzzle "da-da-da".
The situation is critical.
At this time, some people also recognized the identity of this group of killers.
"That guy is the Iron Arm Kutun! He is a big bandit with a federal bounty of more than 300,000! ”
"Oh no, they're the 'Steam Hammer Bandits'!"
"Damn, how did these robbers sneak into the town."
“.”
Ji Xun listened to the million bounty, and the corners of his eyes twitched inexplicably.
I'm used to hearing hundreds of millions of bounties, and I don't think these hundreds of thousands of bounties are wanted criminals.
How can you be called a "big robber"?
But thinking about it, I saw that several guards of the Song family had been killed and wounded.
Although there are also babbling in the mechanical city, it seems that there are guards who are about to rush out, but there is a high probability that they can't wait.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun's eyes lit up slightly.
But his current weak body can barely walk, and he can't fight head-on.
It just so happened that the killer beside him, who had just been swept away by the crowd, squeezed over again, pulled out his gun, and was about to join the assassination.
The crappy killer was so nervous that he didn't even see anyone watching the battle next to him.
Ji Xun watched him just take out the gun, snatched it with his hand, took this guy's pistol with an indifferent expression, and turned around and fired four shots in a row.
It just so happens that his position is behind a group of killers.
Four shots shot the heads of four killers with precision.
Before the thief who was robbed of the gun could react to what was happening, Ji Xun gave him a shot backhanded, turning into a corpse, without even looking at it.
The bullet capacity was eleven rounds, and Ji Xun fired eleven shots in a row almost within three breaths.
He rarely uses a gun now, though.
But the gunnery has been perfected.
Dealing with these enemies who only had the strength of the card, eleven bandits died violently on the spot.
With his intervention, the firepower of the assassination side was instantly reduced by half.
This change also surprised the Song family very much.
The young lady of the Song family, who was originally frightened, had an inexplicable feeling, and when she turned her head, she happened to see Ji Xun who was shooting.
Ji Xun's position was originally to be able to observe her, and the two happened to look at each other.
At that moment, Song Yu looked at the person who shot extremely calmly, and inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
And what's very strange is that the heartbeat that was fluttering and feeling chaotic just now seems to have been appeased at this moment, and it has strangely calmed down.
Ji Xun met this mysterious pen pal for the first time, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
It's also a greeting.
He didn't have time to look more before he withdrew his gaze.
Because just as he was changing the magazine, he suddenly noticed a strange thing.
That is, the bandits who were shot by those guards before, there are several of them, and they stand up again and continue to fight like they are all right?
A human bullet is not what you see in a drama, and you can still be alive.
What is true is that if an ordinary person is shot, he will be incapacitated almost immediately.
Although those guys were not shot in the head like the dozen or so unlucky guys killed by Ji Xun, they all obviously had traces of being shot, and even one guy was pierced in the abdomen.
Can this still fight?
"The problem with the Demon Mark, or the ability of the class card?"
Ji Xun felt very strange.
After a closer look, an even more surprising scene was staged.
He watched the wounds on those guys heal?
And after those people were injured, there were obvious signs of transformation, their skin became pale, and their appearance became hideous and terrifying.
The most striking thing is a pair of sharp fangs.
"Vampires?"
Ji Xun himself is a werewolf, and he immediately understood something when he saw this change.
But this is the beast ability brought by the class card.
How can these card master apprentices transform?
He vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this person from the "Steam Hammer Bandit Group".
But before he could figure it out, a dangerous aura suddenly erupted from among the refugees.
Ji Xun keenly captured that qi machine, and said in his heart: "There are also masters!" ”
Obviously, it was this first wave of assassins who failed to kill the Song family as planned.
The master hiding in the shadows has appeared.
"Whoosh!"
The figure rushed towards the Song family in the face of a rain of bullets, and the magic flames that appeared on his body stood out from the crowd.
Song Yu's face next to the captain of the Chinese-faced guard also changed greatly when he looked at it: "Miss be careful!" ”
How could he not see that this guy rushing in was a second-order card master?
I didn't dare to hesitate at all, and I bumped into the small round shield in my hand.
He knew very well that only he could stop the assassin.
But it was precisely because of the national character face that as soon as the guards made a move, the guards around Song Yu appeared vacant.
Seeing that the assassins were about to succeed, they suddenly heard a series of rapid and steady gunshots rang out "pop, pop, pop".
Several bullets hit the earthen wall beside Song Yu, splashing a puff of mud powder, but none of them hit her.
The assassin who fired the shot was already killed on the spot.
In a panic, Song Yu thought of something, and his trembling crystal eyes looked over again, and sure enough, he saw that the figure was holding a gun and calmly pulling the trigger.
At this moment, the picture seems to be slowed down.
Song Yu looked at the gun in the hand of the man who was naked and covered in dirty mud and spewed tongues of fire.
Every time the trigger is pulled, a piece of red and white blood inevitably explodes.
No matter where the enemy is hiding, in corners, behind windows, in the cracks behind doors. can hit accurately.
In those clear pupils, this bloody and outrageous scene was reflected.
Song Yu's mind was a little unable to turn at the moment.
Obviously everyone is nervous, why is that guy looking. Lazy and not too interested?
It's not that Ji Xun doesn't want to be serious, but he has long been used to playing high-end games, and he really can't be interested in fighting at this level.
Like a fishing employee who rushes to work, solve it as soon as possible and don't work overtime.
The enemy who can pull the trigger to solve it really can't give him any idea of taking a second look.
The only thing that makes me interested in these guys is the state in which they have transformed.
"Can you only kill it completely if you hit the head?"
Ji Xun changed two magazines, and almost all the gunmen he could see had been cleared.
I have to say that these guys who look like vampires have much stronger defense and recovery ability than the average card master apprentice.
If it hadn't been for a shot in the eye socket, it wouldn't have been killed.
Normally, if there was no "accident" of Ji Xun, this group of bandits might have been able to assassinate Song Yu.
It's a pity.
Over there, the Guozi-faced guard was entangled with the second-order assassin, and Ji Xun also used his firearm to suppress the thief leader "Iron Arm" Kutun with a mechanical arm.
But after all, it was just an ordinary firearm, and it seemed a little powerless in the face of this half-armored mechanical warrior whose fatal points were covered with heavy armor.
Ji Xun could only aim at the joints and some of the mecha's exposed pipes, temporarily delaying the attack of the iron bump.
But after fighting, several guards around Song Yu were still almost severely injured.
Ji Xun could only fight while leaning over.
After being exposed to the public eye, those remaining bandits also thought that he was the guard of the Song family and secretly aimed their guns at him.
Ji Xun continued to walk leisurely.
Bullets are no threat to him.
Occasionally, he felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and threw a shot in that direction, which accurately shot an assassin in the head.
He walked all the way over, and also found that after he mastered the introductory skills of "qi", he actually had a little introduction to the ability to sense the opponent's killing machine with qi.
As long as the enemy locks himself with killing intent, Ji Xun can feel it like he has been pricked by a needle in his eyebrows.
This feeling is gradually becoming clearer.
While walking, Ji Xun also said to himself in his heart: "Tsk. That's pretty good. ”
Now these bandits can still bring him a little sense of crisis, which is not easy.
Ji Xun walked towards Song Yu without hurry.
At the same time, he alone also attracted a lot of firepower.
Seeing that someone had done something bad, the "Iron Arm" Kutun suddenly turned his arm around and fired the steam engine claws at him.
Almost at the same time, two voices rang out: "Be careful! ”
One is Song Yu, who is a few meters away.
There is also a "little turtledove" hidden in the corner of the wall in the distance.
Ji Xun didn't even glance at the bald head when he heard this, but glanced at the other two.
can not be stupid in this state, and can keenly observe the crisis and shout out, this "little turtledove" has a good talent.
At least in the words of the palace seniors, this kid already has the rarest quality of a martial artist - courage!
As for Miss Song, Ji Xun smiled at her and said silently: Thank you.
Then he tilted his head, and a huge mechanical arm happened to fly past his scalp.
This is an extremely thrilling scene in the eyes of others, but Ji Xun has no waves in his heart.
The mechanism was too clumsy, and even if he was weak now, it would be too easy to predict.
This kind of thing did not pose any threat to him at all from beginning to end.
On the contrary, because the mechanical claw ejected out, it exposed the flaws of the mecha that was not sophisticated.
Ji Xun's backhand was two shots, which snapped and broke the hydraulic conduction pipe of the mechanical arm.
"Zizizi"
White high-temperature steam bursts and gushes.
The bald mechanical armor crashed down on the spot in a blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Ji Xun didn't forget to complain: "The porters of Innocence City don't use such backward mechas."
Looking at Ji Xun, who suddenly came out, whether it was the Rose Chamber of Commerce, refugees, or other forces, they were all shocked.
In a very short period of time, this "stranger" almost turned the situation around with one shot per person.
The situation was brought under control, and the captain of the Guozi-faced guard who was fighting with the second-order assassin also breathed a sigh of relief, so that he could free up his hands to concentrate on dealing with the assassin.
Although the assassin turned into a vampire and was resistant to beating, he was the elite cultivated by the Song family after all, and he suppressed his opponent in a short period of time.
It looks like it won't be long before the battle is over.
"Where did this sharpshooter come from?"
"Oh, the Rose Chamber of Commerce has hidden such a master among the refugees, no wonder that young lady dares to come out often."
"Miss Song is fine."
"These damn bandits, they're really hateful. Finally, because of Miss Song, we refugees can have food and work. It's sabotaging again. Well dead! ”
"Yes, it's good to die!"
“.”
The refugees and the inhabitants of Bolton Machine Town watched the situation under control, and one by one dared to show their heads and point their fingers with righteous indignation.
When they came back to their senses, everyone looked at the corpse on the ground that had been shot in the head and sighed.
The "strange sharpshooter" fired almost always a single shot to the head.
Even if there is a second shot, it is a tactical move that creates an opportunity for a headshot.
This marksmanship can already be regarded as a master of firearms.
One by one, they also cast shocked and admiring glances at Ji Xun.
Although the bald thief leader "Iron Arm" Kutun did not die, he was trapped in the iron lump because of the damage of the mecha and could not move.
Ji Xun was not interested in paying attention.
Yu Guang observed the crowd around him.
The killer has appeared, but the mastermind behind it has not yet shown his face.
His intuition told him that perhaps the owner of the murder was on the scene.
And maybe a backhand.
I have to say that this time the bare ass "crossed" over is also beneficial.
Without the confidence given by many treasures on his body, Ji Xun can only rely on his own body to deal with the crisis.
That state of "nakedness" in the crisis made him feel a sense of clarity that he had never felt before.
Sound, sight, taste, touch
It is as if the thousands of pores of the body are sensing the invisible wisps of qi along with the breath.
Ji Xun exerted his perception with all his might, carefully recalling the feeling of capturing the crisis before.
At this time, he really sensed an imperceptible "vicious qi".
After a glance, Ji Xun looked at a small window on the mechanical castle, and muttered in his heart: "Is the mastermind of the murder a guy in the mechanical city?" ”
The distance is too far away to determine the exact location.
He didn't start scaring the snake.
After all, the identity of a person who can invite a second-order killer may not be simple.
Shooting rashly towards the mechanical city may startle the snake.
Seeing that an assassination farce was about to end, Ji Xun suddenly sensed something: "There are still people!" ”
The gas machine was in the crowd, and it was too late to shoot.
He didn't care about anything else, and pounced forward, blocking in front of Song Yu.
Almost instantly, a black flying needle stabbed his forearm like a streamer.
Ji Xun had already captured that the source of the crisis was this first-level relic - [Emik's Poisonous Bee Flying Needle].
But the current state of the body can't be blocked at all, and it can only forcibly change its flight trajectory with its arms.
But even if the mana has not recovered, most of the muscles have disappeared, and his current flesh and bones are not pierced by ordinary weapons.
The relic's flying needle only poked a shallow bloody hole in its arm.
Ji Xun's eyes rolled, and he didn't want to expose the special nature of his body, so he pounced on the situation, blocking the wound and the flying needle.
However, this action had used up all the energy he had just eaten on the piece of brown bread.
I almost couldn't get up without actually falling.
Fortunately, the guy who hid in the crowd and killed people with flying needles did not dare to expose it, and the sneak attack failed, and he was already hiding.
Ji Xun was really weak, and he didn't want to stand up, so he simply lay in place.
This makes it seem to outsiders that he is not lightly injured at first glance in this state.
Including the Miss Song family.
Two meters away, Song Yu watched Ji Xun fall to the ground. She knew that the stranger had been injured in order to save herself, and she didn't care about her own safety, so she popped her head out from behind the low wall, and asked timidly and eagerly, "Sir, are you all right?" ”
Ji Xun looked at the face that couldn't hide his panic but was concerned, and he didn't think it was a big deal, but his eyes rolled and he responded: "Hmm." Something's wrong. It's quite serious. ”
I just felt like I didn't have anything to eat.
Now there is a fall.
(End of chapter)
