Chapter Twenty-Eight: Assassinated
Although the Holy See had already given in to Chu Shou's suspicious behavior, and knocked on the door to notify him outside, the guy's room was slow to move, as if the owner of the room had absconded in fear of crime, which made people even more suspicious. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Fortunately, Scarlet Xue monitored the situation in the room for Chu Shou, so she didn't miss such important information.
When the last rays of the sun were swallowed up by the mountains, the little tentacle monster finally turned into a human form at the urging of Crimson Snow and appeared in the room through a magic circle.
Slowly opening the door, Chu Shou was faced with a group of papal guards who were both nervous and vigilant.
"Chu Shou!" Seeing the master come out of the room, the head of the guard in charge finally breathed a sigh of relief, he had actually already given the order at this time, and was about to break down the door.
"What time is it now?" the owner of the room, apparently unaware of the atmosphere of the scene, asked the guards lightly and lazily.
"At the time of evening prayer. ”
This time is equivalent to seven or eight o'clock in the evening of the earth, and in the other world, people would pray at this time a long time ago, sending away the sun and sending away the day, so it is also called "the time of twilight prayer". It's just that now that the Sect of the Other World has been reformed, many rituals have been simplified, and this evening prayer has also been simplified or abolished, and almost no one except for the devout believers has observed it.
"Oh. Agreeing casually, Chu Shou yawned, "The sun is going down, you can go to sleep." ”
"Wait, wait, Mr. Chu Shou!" The captain of the guard almost cursed in his heart—how could this guy sleep so much? He had been sleeping since the morning, and now that the sun was about to set, he actually said "I can go to sleep"! How long did he want to sleep!?
"What's the matter, getting enough sleep helps with beauty, haven't you heard of it?" Chu Shou was just about to turn around, when he heard the words of the guard commander, he asked him with a confused expression.
"There have been a number of murders within the Holy See, and we ask you to assist us in our investigation. The captain of the guard tried his best to use a tactful tone to ensure that Chu Shou would not mind.
After all, Chu Shou is only suspicious, and he has not yet determined that he is a murderer, and his identity is very special, and he is a new star that the light forces must woo.
"Okay, okay. Chu Shou shrugged his shoulders, and although he didn't seem very happy, he couldn't talk about resisting.
The formation of the "escort" Chu Shou is very awkward, it is like an escort, and there are some elements of escort, and the masters in the team are all guarding Chu Shou's vicinity, but they are not guarding the surroundings, but staring at Chu Shou.
The center of the Holy See is called the Hall of Light, when the puppet king organized the Dark Church, it also took such a relative name, the Hall of Light is the center of the Holy See's government affairs, and there is a distance from the VIP hotel where Chu Shou lives.
Perhaps out of habit, the captain of the guard prefers to believe that the inside of the Holy See is safe, and even if there is a murderer, it is just a guy who does not enter the stream and specializes in killing small people.
Compared with the murderer, the captain of the guard focused on Chu Shou, and this unfathomable young man was the one who needed to be guarded against the most.
The weather was so stuffy - the captain of the guard glanced up at the sky, and at this time he could see a faint cloud covering, and it looked like it was about to rain - but it was okay, after all, the weather had been unusually hot and dry lately, and it would be cooler if it rained.
After about thirty minutes of walking, the sun finally sank into the mountains, and the last rays of light were swallowed up by darkness, and the guards began to light torches to illuminate them.
"Wait!" Suddenly, one of the guards raised his hand.
This is one of the elite guards arranged by the captain of the guard near Chu Shou, and his hearing is very good.
"What's wrong?"
"Underground, there's movement underground!"
Before the captain of the guard could react, countless earthworms suddenly rushed out of the ground...... No, it should be said that tentacles like earthworms.
The Captain of the Guard first instinctively thought that it was a crit bug, but in the electric light, he could see the appearance of the incoming thing clearly, unlike the crit bug, this bug was more coarse, with a strong muddy smell on its body, it seemed that this animal was more adapted to life underground.
The captain of the guard and the guards reacted quickly, raising their weapons and slashing at the onrushing earthworm tentacles.
"You ......" Chu Shou looked at the guards as if he was an idiot, and then immediately held his breath and activated the miracle at the same time, using the effect of the Time Seal.
However, Chu Shou could not be the master here, and the soldiers quickly cleared out those monsters of unknown origin.
But at the same time, the captain sensed that something was wrong—the enemy was too weak, and this was definitely not what a sneak attacker should be.
A sweet smell rushed from the lungs to the throats, and the guards knew they had been tricked.
"Hold your breath and prepare the antidote!" the captain of the guards gave an order, and the guards quickly took out the antidote from their waists, took it in time, and relieved the poisoning state......
The above is the situation in the eyes of the guard commander, and in the eyes of Chu Shou, this group of guards got rid of standing and smirking, and they didn't move.
It turns out that those earthworm tentacles are not the main attack, but just bait, their blood contains nerve poison, once it encounters air, it will volatilize, through the sense of smell to efficiently attack the enemy's nerves, so that the enemy quickly falls into a strong illusion, so that it is unable to move.
Generally, the first thought of soldiers who have been in actual combat for a long time when they encounter this situation is to flee as soon as possible and get rid of the enemy, because they do not know the enemy's information at all, and it is easy to fall into the enemy's trap, and they will really fight head-on as a last resort.
Chu Shou touched his hair, feeling that the guards inside the Holy See were less attentive because they were performing their work in a highly secure place, while thinking about his next move.
Suddenly, a huge black earthworm tentacle came out of the ground, spewing gray gas towards Chu Shou.
"What the hell are you farting!" Chu Shoucai would not obediently let this gas of unknown origin hit, he exerted force under his feet, and at the same time used the air cannon to accelerate, quickly dodging the enemy attack.
"Huh?" With a soft sound, an assassin dressed in black appeared in front of Chu Shou.
There was only one Assassin, and he used magic to hide his face, and his enemies could not remember his appearance even if they saw his face.
However...... Chu Shou is immune to magic. This is simply sending face to tell Chu Shou - I am the black hand, even if I am not, I am also a clue.
Despite this, Chu Shou remained silent and put on a defensive posture.
The opponent did not speak, and launched an attack with a direct impact.
"Magicians play combat skills?battle mage?" Chu Shou couldn't see the other party's magic, he just felt that this guy's speed was a little fast, and he probably guessed this person's fighting style.
If the enemy knew that Chu Shou looked at it like this, he would definitely be shocked - because his combat technique magic just now made his figure differentiated, if it was a normal person, he should have seen countless black shadows attacking him, but he couldn't find the true body of the attacker.
"Tentacle flow, ordinary punch. Chu Shou's face was expressionless, and when the other party thought he had succeeded, he did not hesitate to punch the enemy directly in the face, knocking him away.
Chu Shou didn't use all his strength for this punch, otherwise it would be boring.
"Combat skills and magic, if there is no magic, any combat skills are in vain, which is equivalent to hand-to-hand combat of magicians, and it is just stronger than ordinary people. Chu Shou picked at his nose and didn't say this idea, but looked at the magic master who didn't know what was wrong with him at all with a very sympathetic gaze. (To be continued.) )
