Volume I: Crime and Punishment Chapter 38 Punishment

Luo Mu put down the wine glass and slowly blended into the crowd, and quietly leaned towards the man, Miao Yun followed closely behind Luo Mu, but Banker remained in place, Bank's perception is extremely strong, even if Luo Mu is a level higher than Bank's soul power, but in terms of perception, even Luo Mu still has to admit that Banker has a very unique talent, Banker is unconsciously shrouded in an impenetrable mystery, elusive ability, so strong that it is different from ordinary people's perception and perception, but Luo Mu can't remember it at all, and Miao Yun doesn't care at all。

Luo Mu was like a dark shadow, like a swimming fish in the crowd without attracting anyone's attention, drew a circle around the man in black, and came to his left side, Luo Mu was almost attached to the man's side at the moment, Luo Mu sniffed slightly, the subtle smell of gunpowder in the air and the unique smell left by the barrel for a long time without maintenance were unobstructed under Luo Mu's sensitive sense of smell, he quickly determined that the young man was carrying a Mauser flintlock pistol on the market, this pistol chamber can only hold two bullets, but at close range it can cause a wide killing area while ensuring lethality。

Luo Mu stared at the man in black and frowned, this man in black is extremely young, with Luo Mu's observation, he will definitely not be more than twenty years old, even younger than Luo Mu, a young man of Hurlis's age should still be in high school, but Luo Mu's incomparably rich experience and the expression and details unintentionally revealed by the man in black Luo Mu can guarantee that he must be the assassin mentioned in the intelligence, now this young man is nervous and even his legs are trembling slightly, his back is tightly attached to the pillar, if Luo Mu guessed correctly, if this young man is not wearing black clothes, his back must have been stained with sweat and revealed a large mark。

The young man put his hands in his trouser pockets, although he tried his best to hide it in his eyes, he still revealed a trace of panic, he had words in his mouth, Luo Mu listened clearly on the sidelines, it was nothing more than some prayers begging for the blessing of the Heavenly Father, it can be seen that this young man is a very sincere Astephen believer, but Luo Mu observed that this young man has definitely not received any relevant training, Luo Mu stared at him for so long and looked at this young man still did not notice it at all.

Miao Yun had already come to the other side of the young man, raised his head and handed Luo Mu an inquiring look, but Luo Mu shook his head slightly, things are not so simple, Luo Mu believes that the information from Igniz will definitely not be wrong, and his judgment will not be wrong, but Luo Mu also believes that the organization that can let Igniz personally investigate will definitely not send a rookie to assassinate the finance minister of a country, and it is still when they have a lot of evidence.

If this young man hadn't been here, he would have been just an ordinary student.

Luo Mu couldn't even figure out how this young man appeared here, this kind of drinking party is not something that can be entered casually with an invitation, the strictness of the inspection is almost comparable to the inspection done before meeting the empress, if someone can detonate a bomb here, it is no exaggeration to say that the Corvo government will be directly paralyzed tomorrow morning, not to mention that this young man is swaggering in his arms with a pistol with absolute lethality.

At this moment, the music in the banquet hall suddenly changed, from the soft background sound to the highest, and on the wide and gorgeous staircase at the front of the banquet hall, a beautiful girl was elegantly carrying the corner of her skirt and slowly walked down under the only spotlight in the audience, Jarvis is not worth mentioning, but his daughter deserves the evaluation of good temperament and appearance, she is wearing a hollow white lace gauze skirt, a good figure with a good appearance, she wears a silver diamond-encrusted hair ornament, a slender white neck with a silver-white lace tie, and a very cleverly constructed diamond pendant in front of the tie exudes a dazzling color under the spotlight。

Jarvis stood at the foot of the steps and stretched out a hand sideways to watch his daughter slowly descend from the steps with a smile on his face, Deloris walked down the steps and hugged her father, the audience burst into warm applause, and at this moment the young man in black finally moved, he tried his best to overcome the insensitivity of his legs and feet caused by nervousness, and squeezed towards the platform where Jarvis was standing from one side, because he was too nervous, and he didn't know how many people's feet he stepped on along the way, but the people who were stepped on showed excellent quality and no one shouted and scolded, just looked at this abrupt young man with dissatisfied eyes。

The young man was so nervous that he didn't dare to turn around and apologize to the people, just blindly squeezing forward, and Luo Mu and Miao Yun were slowly following him on both sides of him, and Bank also found out that the situation was not so simple for the first time, Bank's voice sounded in Luo Mu and Miao Yun's minds at the same time, "The situation is a little wrong, I can't see it clearly, you two be more careful"

Luo Mu didn't speak, but a small wind was already circling between his fingers, he was ready to move his whole body at any time, Jarvis's exquisite speech skills and witty self-deprecation from time to time attracted bursts of laughter from the crowd, and the slight commotion brought by the young man did not attract anyone's attention under this cover, the young man walked quickly, and came to the stage in an instant.

Jarves's throwing of bricks and jade was also coming to an end, and he said with a smile, "I am not here to be ugly at my age, and there is a pearl to invite me below, my daughter, Delo..."

The entire banquet hall fell silent suddenly, no one could have imagined that this would happen, the entire banquet hall seemed to be only left with the young man's violent gasp, and the young man slowly calmed down after shouting this sentence, his eyes flashed with a very determined color, Jarvis's face suddenly gloomy, he saw Luo Mu standing next to the young man, but Luo Mu shook his head at him slightly, Jarvis shouted angrily, "What about the guards! When did my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony invite such a person?"

The young man seemed to know that he had little time, and he said with an extremely excited expression, and he was standing under the stage of Jarvis, and his words and even spat were splashed on Jarvis's shiny leather shoes: "Jarvis! You parasite of the empire! You embezzle public funds to enrich yourself, you despise the royal law, I tell you that the eyes of the masses are bright, everything you do is remembered by everyone, and you actually make a deal with the devil just to satisfy your own selfish desires!" You have even sent those shady things to your own people in order to eradicate your political opponents, where have you put the empire!

Jarvis burst into a loud shout, "That's enough, who told you to go wild here, take him down for me" At this moment, the guards of the Eye of Herris had already controlled the young man, but the young man struggled violently, and actually took out the pistol from his arms, and shouted with an extremely excited expression, "Jarvis!

With a violent gunshot, the crowd suddenly stirred, the panicked crowd screamed and crowded around and fled out, just in this chaos, the two guards who wanted to control the young man in black actually pulled out the bright long knife hanging from his waist and jumped on the stage and slashed at Jarvis, just at the moment of the gunshot, Jarvis's eyes were full of light, and his fat body suddenly became flexible, and a move blocked in front of his daughter, and at the moment when the bullet was flashing, an invisible barrier composed of brown energy blocked Jarvis in front of him, the bullet at close range actually fell directly to the ground as if it had been shot into a viscous liquid when it hit the obstacle avoidance, and even the bullet had been corroded to black.

And the stronger one of the two assassins pretending to be guards had already rushed to Yalvis and slashed down, but Luo Mu seemed to appear in front of Yalvis out of thin air, Luo Mu did not have the slightest expression on his face, the gray wind wrapped around the fingers of his right hand easily knocked away the man's hands and slashed with all his strength, and then the fingers of his left hand trembled, the assassin's body was stunned, and an extremely sharp and invisible blade cut his neck like cutting through the paper, and the guard fell to the ground with a thud, and the crisp sound of the long knife falling to the ground in his hand was still particularly harsh even in the chaotic scene at this moment·。

The other assassin was broken by Miao Yun before he could rush in front of Yalvis, and Yalvis looked at Luo Mu with a little dissatisfaction, because Luo Mu was fully capable of preventing all this from happening, but Luo Mu didn't do that, Yalvis was just about to say something, but Luo Mu turned his head, he knew that the matter was far from over, and a well-hidden soul power fluctuation finally revealed a hint, this is the real killing move of Seven Stars.

At this moment, the crowd in the banquet hall has almost fled, and on the slow platform on the side of the banquet hall, a fierce pillar of light surged out and came straight towards Yárvis, the pillar of light actually made Luo Mu feel the threat of death, Luo Mu waved his hand, and the gray-black wind suddenly wrapped his entire body, and a gust of wind sent Jarvis and Deloris directly to the other side of the banquet hall at the moment when the pillar of light was the body, Miao Yun had already jumped to the side, and Luo Mu disappeared out of thin air, the pillar of light actually shot through the top layer of the entire Eye of Hurlis, and the huge pillar of energy light rushed out from the side of the other banquet hall and spread dozens of meters in the night sky before gradually disappearingThe pillar of light exploded at the end, forming a huge cross of light in the sky.

And Luo Mu's figure appeared behind the slow platform that emitted a pillar of light, and a figure shrouded in black robes was leaning to the side, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and there were at least hundreds of broken soul crystals scattered on the ground.

Although the figure had passed out due to detachment, the faint soul power fluctuations on his body and the soul quality that had just dissipated confirmed that this was a genuine soul seal level soul master, Luo Mu waved his hand, and the fainted soul master suddenly turned his head in a different place, and then Luo Mu jumped backwards and jumped down from the top of the eye of Hurlis, which was more than a hundred feet high, and countless winds dragged his figure straight to the ground.

In the alley not far from the Eye of Hurres, Bank was carrying in one hand the young man who had caused a great commotion at the feast.
