Chapter 431 Assassination (please vote for the big chapter)
While the lock cylinder was being turned, He Ao controlled his consciousness to cross the closed door.
The reflection of the entire house appeared in his mind.
The refrigerator, sofa, curtains, and the figure standing in front of the curtains seem to blend into the surrounding environment.
He Ao glanced at the tiles in front of the door. The smooth tiles had extremely light footprints made of fine dust.
To ordinary people, it seems like nothing happened, but from Super Memory's perspective, this footprint is unusually abrupt.
As early as He Ao got out of the elevator and was about to reach the door, he briefly activated his super memory and glanced at the situation in front of the door.
Then he discovered the footprints.
That's why he hinted that his daughter was hiding behind him.
However, what made him a little confused was that the hair that was caught in the crack of the door did not move at all when he left.
Unless the other party also has super memory, it is impossible to completely restore the position of the hair after opening the door.
This proves that the other party did not open the door.
The other party may have left, or he may have seen He Aofang's hair and then used other methods to enter the house.
This is also the reason why he just used his spiritual consciousness to check the room.
The figure stood beside the curtain, as if he were part of the curtain and could not be noticed at first glance.
In the field of vision of the spiritual consciousness, the energy lines flowing in the figure's body are clearly visible.
The opponent is C-level and very strong.
He Ao gestured to his daughter behind him, telling her to take a few steps back.
Then he opened the door.
The hair caught in the crack of the door slowly fell down.
The smart device linked to the door lock automatically turns on the living room lights.
At this moment, a dark shadow rushed over like running water and went straight to He Ao's heart.
He Ao instantly activated his super memory, turned to one side, and pulled out the dagger from his clothes to block the incoming attack.
scandium--
The dagger emitting cold light and the pitch-black spikes were mounted together, making a crisp sound.
The person came with a bayonet that was completely black and about thirty centimeters long. The blade had three edges, and there were three wide concave blood grooves between the edges.
Howe had no doubt about the effectiveness of this bayonet stabbing the heart.
The opponent's strength was also stronger than He Ao expected. With Super Memory activated, He Ao's physical fitness of over 490 just barely managed to block the blow.
Moreover, this ability to blend into the shadows seems somewhat familiar.
Seeing that the attack failed, the visitor did not hesitate to fight, but stepped back and blended into the shadows.
At this moment, He Ao used Super Memory to make a mark on him.
Then he activated his consciousness and followed the opponent's footsteps, stepped away in an instant, and stabbed the black shadow's body with his sword.
The shadow was obviously a little surprised, as if he didn't know how He Ao found him in such a short time.
However, this shock did not affect his actions.
He turned around and blocked He Ao's dagger with his bayonet, then jumped back and fell into the shadow of the sofa, disappearing in front of He Ao in an instant.
Disappeared.
He Ao was stunned.
This time, not even his spiritual consciousness could capture the figure of the other party, and the emotional fluctuations of the other party reflected from the mark of super memory also became dim and invisible.
It was as if he had actually disappeared into the house.
Completely invisible?
No, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are truly invisible.
There may also be psychological intervention.
Just like an assassin.
He Ao finally remembered why looking at this black shadow's ability felt so familiar.
The C-level World Tree he killed in the main world who wanted to sneak attack on him seemed to have the ability to blend into the shadows.
It's just that the physical fitness and control of the abilities of the black shadow in front of him are much better than the C-level one in the main world.
If the other party's ability is psychological intervention, then there must be a flaw that can be exploited.
All the scenery in the whole house was instantly remembered by He Ao.
boom--
At this moment, the lights in the living room suddenly exploded, and the surrounding environment instantly fell into darkness.
At the same time, He Ao felt a vague emotion in his mind.
'Backstab.'
He immediately turned around and slashed behind him with his sword.
scandium--
The dagger and the bayonet met again.
With an emotion of 'surprise' entering He Ao's consciousness, the black shadow disappeared again.
Super memory cannot perceive more emotional fluctuations.
This kind of concealment ability is obviously many times stronger than the assassin's 'stealth', and even his thoughts can be concealed.
The possessor of this ability is a natural assassin.
Next, the whole scene fell into an eerie silence.
He Ao couldn't feel the other person's thoughts, nor could he feel the other person's existence.
Soon, this kind of attack happened two or three more times, and each time He Ao predicted the opponent's movements and blocked it.
He Ao also discovered that the other party's hidden ability can hide some basic emotions, but once a certain emotion is extremely strong for a short period of time, it can still be sensed by Super Memory.
This ability to force ‘listening’ is indeed a bit abnormal in actual combat.
I don’t know if all super memories are so strong, or if he completed the ritual better and gained stronger abilities than the ordinary version.
But He Ao didn't have time to think about this at the moment.
He doesn't have much time, he must find the opponent's figure as soon as possible.
Ai Ni is still outside. If the other party finds out that the assassination has been unsuccessful, they may not go out and kidnap Ai Ni and force He Ao to submit.
But the other party probably doesn't have much time.
He Ao once had the talent sequence ‘Assassin’.
The assassin's 'stealth', like super memory, has a time limit. If the time is exceeded, you will lose your life.
Judging from the similarity in abilities, the talent sequence possessed by this black shadow is most likely one of the assassin's advanced sequences. Judging from the fact that he did not use this concealment ability at the beginning, this kind of 'concealment' should also be used.
Time-limited.
He Ao took a deep breath, and his consciousness spread to the surroundings again.
In the brief confrontation just now, when the opponent was exposed, He Ao could still see the flow of energy in his body, although it was extremely weakly hidden.
Even when the opponent breaks away from the battle and disappears again, He Ao can capture the flow of energy in the opponent's body, but soon, he will not be able to detect the location of the energy flow.
Taken together, He Ao prefers that this "undetectable" effect is a psychological influence.
So he must be able to 'see' the other party, but he just 'didn't notice' it.
At this moment, a thought emerged in He Ao's mind.
'go out?'
The other party seemed to be hesitating whether to continue fighting He Ao or go out and take hostages.
At this moment, He Ao activated his ability and changed his choice.
Immediately afterwards, a new thought emerged in He Ao's mind, 'I want to go out and kidnap his daughter'.
Ability failed?
He Ao stiffened.
No, after revising the decision, the opponent must now prefer to stay and fight with him.
The other party is testing, testing whether he can hear and monitor the other party's thoughts.
He Ao calmed down and made no move.
At the same time, he began to combine his spiritual consciousness and super memory to explore the surrounding places.
There is energy flowing in the bathroom. This is normal. There should be energy flowing in the bathroom...
'I know you can hear me, stop pretending.'
A new thought emerged in Heao's mind.
'Can't you hear it?'
'Am I wrong in my guess?'
As these thoughts emerged, He Ao began a second round of spiritual inspection.
Refrigerator, sofa, behind you...it is normal for energy to flow behind you. There should be traces of energy flow behind you.
Bathroom... There is no trace of energy flow in the bathroom.
This is normal. The bathroom is a dead object and an architectural space. Why are there traces of energy flow?
At this moment, He Ao's thinking paused.
No, my memory and judgment were different twice.
Behind you!
This time the other party came closer without any emotion.
The other party has already judged in his heart that he can 'read minds', and those thoughts just now were deliberately misleading He Ao's thinking.
It was too late to turn around at this moment, He Ao suddenly turned sideways, letting the sharp bayonet pass through his armpit.
During this short period of time, the black shadow was stunned for a moment.
This time, he couldn't figure out how He Ao found him.
However, during the short period of time when he was stunned, a huge force hit his soul, causing him to lose control of his body in an instant.
Mental disturbance.
He Ao twirled the dagger in his hand, held the sword in his back, and stabbed the black figure behind him from the side.
When he touched the black shadow's body, he clearly felt that the dagger was hindered by something, which seemed to be some kind of alloy armor.
But obviously, the quality of this armor is not that high.
The sharp dagger easily penetrated this armor defense, pierced the opponent's lungs, and then pierced the heart sandwiched between the lungs.
Bright red blood flowed out from the blood groove on the dagger.
Then He Ao drew his sword outward, cutting off the muscles on the opponent's side.
And the opponent's energy gathering point is right there.
As the sword was drawn out, the backbone of the black shadow's body seemed to have been ripped away. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Bright red blood flowed from his wound, but he turned a blind eye.
He reached into his arms with difficulty and took out a test tube sealed with a white latex stopper. Translucent white liquid was rippling in the test tube.
He bit the latex plug with his mouth, trying to pull it out.
However, he ultimately failed.
His body leaned forward and fell to the ground.
The test tube in his hand also rolled out and landed not far in front of him.
He reached out his hand to grab the test tube.
But his hand finally froze in mid-air, and then fell down weakly.
He Ao knelt down and picked up the test tube containing the translucent solution.
The black shadow looked up at He Ao. His ability to conceal his figure slowly disappeared, revealing his pale cheeks.
He stared at He Ao, his eyes gradually losing focus.
He Ao looked at the test tube in his hand.
The liquid in the test tube was overall white and translucent.
These liquids were not so peaceful. When He Ao looked at it, there seemed to be some kind of power slowly stirring inside the liquids.
This power gave He Ao an extremely intimate and familiar feeling.
But across the test tube, He Ao couldn't remember what this power was for a while.
However, this force seemed to be extremely active, and He Ao had no doubt that once he opened the latex plug, these forces would escape quickly.
This kind of test tube seems to be a specially made test tube.
It is not like other mithril test tubes, most of which are covered with mithril. Instead, it is just like an ordinary glass test tube, with a transparent shape as a whole, and only a circle around the mouth of the test tube is inlaid with some mithril.
Judging from the black shadow's last movements, this test tube is most likely to contain some kind of 'life-saving' thing.
Theoretically speaking, it is very difficult to kill C-level players in the dungeon world.
Heiying also did not expect that He Ao had the ability to see through the energy nodes of extraordinary beings and kill Class C instantly by destroying the nodes, so he had no preparation. In the end, he did not even have the strength to open the test tube and drink the liquid in the test tube.
This shadow is very smart and experienced. If he successfully drinks the liquid in the test tube and saves his life, then He Ao will probably be in trouble.
It's a pity that He Ao has a relatively accurate guess and understanding of his skills, but he knows almost nothing about He Ao.
After Heiying died, the mark originally used by He Ao returned to his body.
He can tag up to five people at the same time. The two people he tagged before were the earliest doctor and the director of the institute, Red.
Super memory markers can be used repeatedly, as long as there are no more than five.
But He Ao also discovered a problem. As the number of markers increases, the consumption of super memory increases.
At present, Pate's body may not be able to withstand too much exertion.
squeak——
The door that was left ajar by He Ao was slowly pushed open, and Aini poked her head out.
"Dad, is it over?"
Although He Ao had fought many battles just now, the frequency was very high and the time was short. Ai Ni could always hear the sound of pinging and banging outside.
She felt there was no movement in the house just now, so she came over to take a look.
The room was pitch dark. She reached out to turn on the light, but found that it would not turn on.
"it's over."
He Ao stood behind his daughter, reached out and closed the door.
"ah!"
Aini was startled by the voice behind her. She looked back and realized it was her father by the light of her bracelet. Then she breathed a long sigh of relief and patted her undulating chest, "Dad, you scared me.
So what just happened?"
"It's okay, you go back to the bedroom first."
He Ao waved his hand and motioned for his daughter to return to the bedroom.
Although the house was dark, it was the home where she had lived for many years, and my daughter should be able to easily find her way back to her room.
At the same time, He Ao turned off his super memory.
The moment he lost the support of his super memory, his body softened and he fell to the ground directly against the door.
He Ao felt a strong sense of dizziness and exhaustion rushing into his mind. His hands and feet weighed a thousand pounds, and it was extremely difficult to move.
This body is still too weak.
"dad!"
Aini's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly squatted down, "Dad, you have a nosebleed, and there is a lot of blood on your body."
She hurriedly took out a tissue from her pocket.
"I...it's fine. It's not my blood. You go back to the bedroom first."
He Ao said with difficulty and motioned for his daughter to go back to the bedroom.
He also needs to tidy up the scene. When he first enters the dungeon, the system should have a recovery ability that will help him repair some of his physical damage.
But his daughter didn't listen to him at all.
Aini stood up and turned on the light in the restaurant next to her.
This house is a diner and a living room, and is artificially separated into a dining room and a living room.
Dim yellow light shone in the living room, which was littered with broken bulbs and bright red blood.
Aini opened her mouth wide, but she covered her mouth and did not scream.
At this time, she finally understood the reason why her father wanted her to go back to the bedroom.
Then she went to the balcony and got a mop and a broom.
She first wrapped the black shadow's body in a carpet with difficulty, then took the cleaning tools and started cleaning.
"Don't use hot water. Heating will denature the protein and make it harder to clean."
"Be careful not to stick to your clothes."
"Don't mop directly, use tissue paper to absorb what you can absorb first..."
······
"Dad, are you bothered?"
The little girl immediately stood up the mop and looked at He Ao angrily.
But she still corrected them one by one according to He Ao's reminder.
He Ao smiled and shook his head.
His body is recovering rapidly.
He glanced at the test tube in his hand, thought for a moment, and immersed his consciousness in it.
In an instant, the power in the test tube became violently agitated.
