In the inner ring of South District, inside Sid Jeff's four-story single-family building.
Graylint followed West Germany's usual habits and pretended to check some daily business reports under the guidance of the valet. Then, he put down the reports and the hot milk in his left hand, pretending to get up and plan to take a hot bath...
Considering that the other party was unlikely to have the ability to change his appearance and body shape, he felt relieved about West Germany's servants and was only a little wary. His focus was on the blind spots in the room and the possibility of "West Germany"
A space where you can stay alone for a while, such as a bathroom or a washroom.
…
Inside the soft cloth curtain, Gray Linte faced the hot water, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, with his keen sense, he heard footsteps approaching from outside.
"It's lighter. It's a woman, or... an 'assassin'."
He held his breath silently, waiting for the other party to speak.
clatter……
After a soft sound, the visitor stood at the curtained door and said softly:
"Sir, let me help you bathe."
It was a woman... For a moment, Gray Lint couldn't tell whether the visitor was a servant or an enemy. According to common sense, after notifying West Germany's valet in advance, he would have found an excuse to send away the other servants to avoid Gray Lint.
Lint accidentally injured.
But it's also possible that it's "business as usual"... or that he thinks Greylint likes the service, too.
As his thoughts were spinning, Gray Linte imitated West Germany's voice and said in a deep voice:
"No need for today, I'm a little uncomfortable."
He acted as if he really had no interest in that. Then, before the visitor could turn around and leave or rush in to assassinate him, he continued to speak:
"By the way, I forgot to take off the pocket watch in advance. Please help me take it and put it away in case it gets soaked in water."
As he spoke, he half-opened the soft cloth curtain without exposing the faces of both parties, and then handed over West Germany's gold-case pocket watch in a pretense of casualness.
"Uh...ok, sir."
With a little surprise, the woman instinctively took what he handed over.
"Bribery" successful!
Regardless of whether she is an enemy or not, Gray Linte "bribes" her once in advance, planning to use her extraordinary abilities again if necessary - as long as the interval is not too long, the "bribery" is effective!
…
At this moment, while the woman took the pocket watch, she pulled out a tooth-shaped short blade from the lantern sleeve of her left arm with her backhand, and slashed straight towards the arm that Gray Linte was about to retract.
"Ah……"
Graylint realized something was wrong as early as she took back her pocket watch and touched her left arm with her right hand. He immediately retreated, raised his right hand slightly, and a white light shot out from his eyes.
"Psychic puncture!"
Then, he silently connected with the "bribery" just now and activated the "weakening" of the four abilities!
This is the most conventional combat ability.
Separated by a layer of cloth, this "spiritual puncture" failed to hit the opponent's pupils directly, and the effect was not very good. The woman only had a sudden severe pain in her head, but she had not completely lost her ability to resist. She still had the strength to instinctively push forward.
Short blade.
Unfortunately, due to Gray Linte's retreat, her attack completely failed.
Missing a hit, the woman immediately took a step back instinctively, trying to avoid the fatal blow that might penetrate the curtain. She had not yet woken up from the severe headache, and the "psychic puncture" at the sixth level of the sequence was not that good.
Confrontational.
Gray Lint did not follow up with a violent attack, but after seeing her retreat, he chose to open the curtain so that both parties could have a clear line of sight.
He is not very interested in killing the opponent directly.
This is a female face without any strange temptation. On her face, which is distorted by pain, you can vaguely see a bit of delicacy and softness.
Just when he was about to attack again, the woman who had been delayed for a few seconds had come to her senses. Then, without thinking, she instinctively chose to turn around and run away.
If you miss a hit, you will immediately run away!
This is the basic training of an assassin.
In terms of agility, Gray Lint was of course no match for the Assassin Path Extraordinary. Seeing her turn around and run away, he chuckled, raised his hand and took off the hat that West Germany usually wore, and then threw it out.
With a slight sound of breaking the wind, the top hat spun and flew towards the female assassin at a not too fast speed, but she easily dodged it. It seemed that Gray Linte's move had no meaning.
Taking this opportunity, the female assassin got out of the door and was about to run away!
Gray Lint was not in a hurry to chase him out. The time he threw the top hat just now, he chose "bribery-correlation". As long as too much time passed and the opponent did not escape too far, he could use this to lock the opponent's position.
.
"I won't compete with you for speed..."
Muttering silently to himself, he walked out quickly with a small stride, intending to enjoy the comical drama of an "assassin" encountering another "assassin".
…
In the hall, the female assassin completely ignored the astonishment of the servants and passed by at an extremely fast speed, while Gray Linte followed him downstairs unhurriedly.
The highest level of this assassin is Sequence Seven. After being greatly weakened by himself, with the enemy in the dark and the enemy in the dark, Gray Lint doesn't believe that she can get any benefits from Shirley's hands, let alone Shirley's hands.
and "The Witch's Mirror."
…
In the backlight shadow outside the building, Shirley was lurking on a certain road that was necessary to leave the yard. Suddenly, she saw a figure running out, and she could vaguely see the attire of a maid.
She held her breath even more and held the dagger tightly in her hand. A slight trace of sweat appeared on her palm, but it was quickly absorbed by the cloth.
Ten steps...five steps...three steps...
Seeing that the enemy was within ten feet, she no longer hesitated and made an action that she had rehearsed countless times in her mind: stab the enemy in the heart!
The sudden attack startled the female assassin, who instinctively moved sideways to dodge. At the same time, she did not forget to use the short blade in her hand to backhand and pull towards Shirley. She wanted to "attack instead of defend" and force the enemy to dodge or block.
block.
Unfortunately, this long-planned "fatal blow" was originally aimed at killing her, and it was so fast that she had no time to use a substitute! How could it be easily avoided?
"Fortunately, after all, I dodged a little, and he could only stab me in the ribs..."
"I hurt him too..."
These two thoughts flashed through her mind quickly, and when she was about to fight back brazenly regardless of her injuries, she was shocked and desperate to find that the opponent's dagger was like the sharpest magical object, easily piercing through her paper.
Average ribs!
This is because Gray Linte "weakened" her defenses in advance.
She didn't have time to check the damage caused to the other party, and she didn't feel any severe pain. Only a strong impact knocked her back a small step. Then, a numbness quickly swept through her body...
In just one round, the "Witch" died at the hands of the "Assassin"!
At the same time, Shirley didn't feel well. In the flash of lightning just now, knowing that Gray Lint was prepared, she decisively chose to "exchange injuries for lives", and then killed the opponent with one blow. However, the price was
A three-inch-long gash was cut on her right shoulder, but no blood flowed out. Instead, the wound was slightly corroded, and there was a slight fishy odor. At the same time, a severe sense of paralysis and coma was transmitted to the brain.
.
Fortunately, the opponent's attack was also "weakened" and did not cause much damage to her.
…
When Gray Linte came out, he saw the scene of Shirley's successful assassination. So he nodded slightly, expressing his approval of Shirley's decisiveness.
Strictly speaking, this is her first time to "assassinate", and it can be said that it is very good to be able to achieve such a level.
Already prepared, he quickly walked up to Shirley, looked at her with a somewhat painful expression, and released a "Cure Disease" charm. At the same time, he used the "Alien Pocket Watch" to treat the wound on her right arm.
It was weakened and transferred, turning into a small wound the length of a finger on the right arm.
"Cure the disease" cannot eradicate the toxins, but it can still be done by treating the weakened toxins so that Shirley is not in danger.
Instead of directly using the "Seed of Wandering" to dispose of the body of the female assassin, Gray Lint glanced at the valet who was peeking around and ordered:
"Call your employer and his bodyguard over and say that the problem here has been solved."
…
"How about, can I 'channel' her?"
The Extraordinary bodyguard hired by West Germany is a woman in her thirties who is pretty good-looking.
Seeing her walking with West Germany, Glalint didn't waste any more words and directly asked her if she could ask psychic questions to the assassin. As a spiritually powerful "briber", it's not like Glalint couldn't do anything on his own.
Psychic, but the key point is that he has never used this skill before and is quite unfamiliar.
It's easy to say that the "channeling" failed, but it would be funny if the spirit of the female assassin was dissipated...
"Okay, what questions do you want to ask?"
She did not explain her sequence, but rather affirmed that she was able to channel.
Gray Lint glanced at her, ignoring her slight caution about him as a wild Beyonder, and quickly spoke according to the importance:
"The purpose of the organization behind her to assassinate West Germany and their stronghold, as well as the magic potion formula of the 'assassin' route."
After a slight pause, he added:
"If you still have time, ask them how they usually deal with failed missions."
