Section 11 The Hooded Man Reappears
A cold voice came from behind Bakett, and before he could react, he felt a pain in the back of his head, followed by a terrifying roar!
In the eyes of everyone, a small arrow suddenly poked out of Bakett's forehead, and the irascible fire spell factor immediately exploded his head!
Screams and exclamations filled the house. The girl in the headlight looked surprised.
The black shadow who was confronting the girl glared angrily, and he watched Bakett die, but there was nothing he could do!
"Damn, there's even a helper!" said the black shadow viciously, "Take this chick down for me." I'm going to interrogate it myself. β
Immediately, he made an amazing leap and jumped directly to the second floor. He pushed open the half-closed door and found the windows of the room wide open. An icy wind poured in from the outside.
The shadow hurried to follow, and he pressed his hands on the windowsill to see a flat lawn below, and the figure was long gone.
All that appeared in his eyes was a pitch-black dress, lying quietly on the grass.
"How is that possible?" the dark shadow's eyes narrowed into a line, "What about people?"
He jumped off the windowsill in anger and looked around, but there was no figure in sight on the flat grass.
The black shadow clenched his fists and picked up the outfit, which did not have any aura of spell factors on it.
"Cunning fellow. The dark shadow said through gritted teeth.
Without the aura of the spell factor, it means that there is no way to trace it. Even a master of prophetic magic could not continue to track down the identity of the killer.
"Wait......" The dark shadow suddenly remembered something, if the other party knew a little magic. It's not easy to erase all spell factors. Other than that. This dress is completely new to the touch!
"Bang!" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded above his head.
The dark shadow took a deep breath. When I looked up, I saw that the window on the second floor was suddenly closed!
"Hit the ......" The shadow threw away his clothes and rushed to the side door of the main house as fast as he could, and then kicked it in.
A scream came from inside.
A large amount of choking smoke filled the room, and the wizards and guards collided, and the scene became chaotic.
The dark shadow's heart tightened, and he rushed into the room and shouted, "Leonardo, are you there?"
"Richard. I just heard what's going on here. β
There was a response from the foggy corner.
"Dispel the fog for me at once!" Richard ordered angrily, "Everyone stay where they are!"
"Didn't you hear my orders! Everyone stay where they are! Otherwise, they will be against our Peter family!"
Under Richard's loud scolding, order in the room improved slightly.
A low chant of spells was heard, and after a few seconds, the chant suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, Leonardo?" asked Richard, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help but ask in a loud voice.
"Ahem, ahem...... This room has a forbidden demon field, and it is not possible to use any chanting spells. A helpless voice came from the corner: "Only demonized items and passive spells can take effect, damn it, and this smoke, it's really choking." β
Richard was dejected. He looked around a little dazedly, and although the chaos had improved, the visibility was too low.
Fifteen minutes later, the smoke finally cleared. The guests were all stunned.
In the center of the hall, the bodies of two guards lay down, and the girl who had failed to assassinate Bakett. It's long gone.
Richard stepped forward quickly and flipped the body of one of the guards over. Then he pulled out the sharp arrow that had pierced his heart.
"Bow and arrow...... Headshot ...... It's him. Richard muttered.
"It's the hooded man. Another voice rang out. A young wizard in a white robe stepped out of the corner, his eyes showing little sadness or anger. Rather, it was a little strange: "Did Bakett provoke him?"
This kid has made countless enemies, and sooner or later there will be this day. Richard said coldly: "His father entrusted us to protect him, and it was only symbolic." Everyone knows that Barkitt has completely lost the right to inherit in Peter's family. β
"Even so, being assassinated to death by a small first-class wizard would also be a disgrace to the Peter family. This matter must be pressed first. The white-robed mage Leonardo said lightly, "It seems that our leisurely days are coming to an end. β
"yes, how much time do you think Mr. Cunningham will give us to get that guy out?" said Richard, tossing his bow and arrows aside.
"Three months, half a year, who knows?" Leonardo shook his head: "Ferendor is so big, if he really wants to hide, we can't do it." β
"Ferendor is big, but at least we can make it a third smaller. A strange look appeared on Richard's face.
He took a few steps forward and picked up half a extinguished match from the ground. He pressed his index finger against the tip of the match, and he could vaguely feel a hint of warmth.
Leonardo took a deep breath: "Mist Match!"
"It's us from Rainbow Island?"
......
"It's clear that you're taking advantage of me. In the dark tunnel, a soft and charming voice came.
"How so?" said Lance, dressed in a straitjacket and a face mask, his voice low and deep.
"If I hadn't forced Barkett out, you wouldn't have had a chance to kill with one blow. The girl said a little unwillingly, "He's mine!"
Lance chuckled and didn't retort.
"I owe you my life, though. The girl quickly said, "Without you, Bakett would not have died today, and besides, it would be difficult for me to escape from them." β
"I'm Dora Quinn. The youngest member of the Quinn family. What about you? What should I call you? Mr. Hooded Man?"
Lance smiled and replied, "Whatever you want, I don't think we need to exchange names. β
"What a ruthless and indifferent fellow. Dora snorted. In the dark passage, her eyes were like two bright pearls. Twinkle and twinkle.
"What's your enmity with Bakett?" asked Dora after a while.
"Nope. Lance replied succinctly.
Dora continued to ask, "Then you are a killer hired by someone else? Are you a professional killer? I always thought that Ferendor was an academic wizard. Only in the Blue Mountains is there a wizard who serves as a professional killer. β
Faced with a lot of questions from the girl, Lance could only selectively ignore them: "It's just a part-time job." β
Dora snorted and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Mysterious, isn't the hooded man amazing?" I know that your archery skills are very good, but I'm not bad, we can try it when we have time." β
Lance rubbed his temples a little vigorously, "I'm already starting to regret causing chaos and saving you from them." β
Dora's eyes widened, and then she sneered and said, "What is there to regret." Your purpose in saving me is not so simple. You're trying to use me to distract the attention and attention of the Peter family's follow-up pursuit. After all, with one more clue, the effort to track you down will be much less. β
Lance glanced at Dora with some surprise, this girl was also thoughtful, not as big as she appeared.
"You're smart, Miss Dora. Lance said calmly, "I did choose to save you because of this. So you don't owe me anything, what's more, you still take me through the secret passage, if it weren't for your help. I may have to find another way. β
"No, I still owe you my life. Dora said stubbornly, "No matter what, if you need my help in any trouble in the future, you can come to the old mansion of the Quinn family to find me." β
Lance was silent for a moment. Finally nodded.
In front of the secret passage, a glimmer of light finally appeared.
The two of them walked out of the ground and into a wilderness.
"Why don't you ask. Why do I know the secret passages in the Manor?" Dora was idle again.
Lance thought for a moment, and replied, "You got the blueprints for the manor?" or. You dug this secret passage?"
"The answer is incorrect. Dora smiled, "The answer is: I grew up in this manor. I've lived here since the Peter family destroyed our family. β
"I'm sorry......" A strange touch flashed through Lance's heart.
"Nothing. You didn't ask the question. Dora smiled brightly, "Bakett is dead. But he was only a small role in Peter's family, and besides, Peter's family had not yet perished. My career is far from complete. β
"It's hard to imagine that a girl who is determined to take revenge can have such a cheerful personality. Lance finally couldn't help but say more.
"yes, if I were a monster with a twisted mentality, maybe I would be more successful. Dora ruffled her hair and said to Lance earnestly:
"Thank you, Mr. Hooded Man. β
"It's a weird name. Lance smiled.
In the next second, he only felt a sudden warmth on his body, which was not his body temperature alone.
The girl hugged him tightly and suddenly began to sob lowly: "It must be very embarrassing to cry with a stranger who doesn't know whether it is good or bad, right?"
Lance's body stiffened, and it took a long time for him to reach out and hug the girl.
"No shame, Dora. β
"Thank you, Mr. Hooded Man. β
"You're a good guy. β
......
The whistling train slowly arrived at the platform, and Lance, dressed in a scarlet castle student uniform, got off the train with a blank expression.
Hurried back to the cemetery, the girl's words still ringed in his earsβ
"You're a good guy. β
"Am I a good person?" Lance smiled bitterly, and the girl's words suddenly touched his cold heart. All along, he used this world to comfort and paralyze himself with the fact that this world is so cold, and he can't survive if he is not cold. Looking back now, Lance feels that what he did seems to be closer to the villain in the movie in terms of the concept of his previous life.
I'm not a good person. I'm just an ordinary person.
He told himself silently.
That's enough.
......
Finding the well-behaved moose, Lance returns to the cemetery. However, to his surprise, when he arrived at the entrance of the cemetery, a girl with a hot body was standing there, waiting for him.
"Ellie?" asked Lance, as he got out of the moose, a little strangely.
"Are you ready? Ellie turned around and smiled expectantly, "The operation is about to begin, just three days later." (To be continued......)
