Chapter 2416 The Calm Assassin (two chapters in one)
"Wow, wow, wow..."
The rain outside the window kept falling with no sign of stopping.
Occasionally, thunder and lightning flashed, and the loud thunder was deafening.
The sound of rain and thunder reverberated across the sky and the earth. If there were no houses to block it, everyone would only hear the sound of wind and thunder.
"belch."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead burped. He finished all the food on the table and his stomach was full.
I ate a little too much meat and felt strangely greasy. I picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and the slight discomfort disappeared.
I got up and went to the window and opened it, and the scene of heavy rain outside suddenly came into view.
"It's raining hard."
"It's hard to go back with such heavy rain!"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the pouring rain outside, thinking that if he went back in the rain, his clothes would definitely get wet.
"boom."
A loud noise suddenly appeared above his head, and the attention of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was immediately attracted.
The sudden loud noise was not thunder, it was someone fighting upstairs.
A large amount of broken wood splashed and fell outward, hitting the ground and splashing a lot of rain.
Immediately afterwards, a fat figure hit the ground heavily, rolled several times and lay motionless in the rain.
Blood flowed from the wound, and the rain on the ground changed color.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the figure lying on the ground, his pupils shrank sharply, and two words came to his mind.
"Assassination."
"Boom." Silver-white lightning flashed across the sky, and two masked figures jumped down from the building.
"Don't let them escape." Shouts rang out, and many guards jumped down from the building and quickly caught up with the two masked figures.
"clang."
"Qiang."
Weapons collided with loud sounds, and a group of people fought fiercely in the rain.
In the surrounding houses, passers-by looked in horror at the group of people fighting fiercely.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood in front of the window, watching the masked man fighting and retreating. If he hadn't come to Zecheng secretly this time, he would definitely help.
"We can't stay here any longer, we have to leave as soon as possible."
Now that an important figure in the city lord's palace has been assassinated, many soldiers will definitely rush to the scene to interrogate the people in the restaurant.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had to leave early. He quickly came out of the private room, walked a few steps in the corridor, and then stepped back.
There was cloth in some places in the private room, so he pulled off a piece of cloth and then left the private room again.
Other people in the restaurant were very panicked. When encountering something like this, some people wanted to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Therefore, when the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came out of the restaurant, other guests also ran out.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he immediately wrapped the cloth he got earlier around his face.
There were carriages parked in the distance, and there were quite a few of them. I think these carriage drivers thought that the rain was so heavy that the guests who were dining in the restaurant would definitely need carriages when they came out.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead found the nearest carriage and loaded it into the carriage, and told the driver the address.
The fighting in the distance continued. Although the two masked assassins were small in number, they were much stronger than the guards. The assassins who besieged them were getting more and more injured.
"Master, leave quickly." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead shouted to the coachman.
"Okay." The coachman nodded quickly, then swung the reins and left away from the battle.
…………
"Sir, are you back?" As soon as he walked into the inn, the waiter immediately greeted him.
The other party asked if he wanted to eat. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead shook his head and walked quickly to his guest room.
"It's strange. Why didn't this guest come back today without eating? Did he eat outside?" The waiter in the store was confused.
At this time, other guests called him, so he put the matter aside temporarily and went to serve other guests.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, walked quickly along the corridor and arrived at the guest room.
After returning to the guest room, he threw the soaked cloth on the ground.
What happened just now was still replaying in his mind. From the actions of the two masked men, it can be seen that their assassination of important figures in the city lord's palace must have been planned for a long time.
"I wonder if the guards took down the two assassins."
"Well, depending on the situation, it shouldn't be possible. After all, the gap in strength is quite big."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, took a sip of water from the teapot and sighed.
There was a loud noise in the street.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead put down his tea cup, went to the window and opened it to take a look. Soon, he saw many soldiers running quickly.
It's raining so hard now, and there are so many soldiers running fast on the street, and their direction is relatively clear.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, knew after a moment's thought that these soldiers should be going to the place where the previous battle broke out to capture the assassin.
"It's probably too late now."
"It's a pity that there are no soldiers stationed around the restaurant. Otherwise, the moment the fighting breaks out, the soldiers will hear it and rush to check."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead murmured to himself, looking at the soldiers walking away, not having much hope for their success in catching the assassin.
As time passed, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, the rain showed no sign of stopping, and there was more and more water on the ground.
Originally there were still some horse-drawn carriages running on the street, but now the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and all the horse-drawn carriages have disappeared.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, returned to the inn after dinner. After observing the window for a while, he found that the soldiers who left had returned, and everyone's expressions were not good.
Seeing this situation, he knew in his heart that catching the assassin must have failed.
This time, an important figure in the city lord's palace was assassinated, and the attempt to capture the assassin failed again. There will definitely be a large-scale arrest of assassins next.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead frowned, thinking that those assassins should not implicate him.
Of course, this idea has only a slight possibility, and there is a high probability that he will be implicated in the end.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead shook his head, then closed the window, went back to the bed and lay down, ready to rest for a while.
The sound of wind and rain was still there, and occasionally you could hear some people talking about assassins.
…………
The two investigators stood in front of the window, looking at the noisy streets and a large group of soldiers passing by the inn.
"It's raining so hard and there are so many soldiers running out of their garrison. What happened?"
"I met two people chatting in the corridor just now. From what they said, it seemed like a big shot had been assassinated."
"Isn't it said that there are alien beasts about to attack this city? At this time, there are also important people being assassinated, and it's really chaotic here."
"Yes! It's really not peaceful here."
"We'd better seize the time to collect intelligence and finish the work as soon as possible and return early."
"Um."
The two investigators chatted for a while and then saw a large group of soldiers appearing at the end of the street.
At this time, everyone in the inn, like them, stood in front of the window and watched the excitement.
Soldiers appeared one after another, and a massive manhunt was inevitable.
There was a sudden knock on the door. The two investigators stopped chatting and shouted to the person outside the door.
The waiter pushed open the door and told the two investigators about the situation outside, and asked them to be careful in their words and actions to avoid being implicated.
…………
The downpour gradually became lighter, and in the dead of night, only a hazy drizzle remained.
The fighting that occurred a few hours ago has subsided, but the aftermath is still continuing.
The restaurant was surrounded by many soldiers and guarded. Guests who had not had time to leave were trapped in the restaurant for interrogation.
The assassin has already left. The guests who stayed in the restaurant are all innocent. No matter how much they are interrogated, they will not be able to find out the reason.
To the north of the city, there is a huge prison where many prisoners are held. The rebels arrested not long ago are also detained here.
There are many soldiers standing guard everywhere. Because no one has come to the prison for many years, these soldiers standing guard do not strictly perform their guarding duties.
Several masked men in black were running quickly in the rain, and the drizzle fell on these men in black, making their hair wet.
After climbing over the wall, the spiritual light bloomed, and the figure of the masked man in black disappeared instantly.
A soldier dozens of meters away suddenly fell to the ground, and immediately after, the surrounding soldiers fell one after another.
More than half an hour later, an explosion sounded in the prison.
Then the loud sound quickly spread around, attracting the attention of many soldiers.
"No, someone has robbed the prison."
"Stop them quickly."
"kill."
The sounds of explosions and shouts of killing intertwined with each other, and the prison, which had been peaceful for many years, suddenly became extremely chaotic.
When the supporting soldiers arrived, the captured rebels had been rescued.
"asshole."
"Look for them separately."
"If we don't find them tonight, no one will be allowed to rest."
The officer who led the team to support roared angrily, and then his soldiers divided into small groups and spread out in all directions, looking for the fleeing rebels.
…………
"boom."
"Qiang."
Suddenly there was a sound outside the window, and the sleeping pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead opened his eyes.
It is very late now, the street is quiet, and suddenly there is a sound. If you listen carefully, you can hear clearly what is going on.
"Is there someone fighting?" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead made a judgment and immediately got up from the bed.
The closed window opened again, and his eyes looked towards the place where the fighting was breaking out.
The two figures were entangled endlessly, fighting from the end of the street to the street.
Many people were woken up. When they saw two powerful practitioners fighting, they were all trembling with fear. They prayed in their hearts that these two practitioners would leave here quickly and fight elsewhere.
"Tsk."
"These two people are equally powerful, and it's hard to tell the winner for a while."
"They are coming this way, and the inn may be affected by then."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the two fighting men approaching his place, and he suddenly had bad thoughts in his heart.
"boom."
The two of them punched each other, and terrible air waves splashed around, and the rain on the ground flew up due to the impact.
The masked man in black groaned and took a dozen steps back. The officer who attacked him was not much better, and his left hand that was clenched into a fist kept trembling.
"Surrender obediently, and I will spare your life." the officer shouted.
"You hateful lackey, fight if you want and stop talking nonsense." The masked man in black scolded back.
"..." The officer's face was livid, and he had already decided in his heart that if he caught this rebel, he must look good.
The figures of both parties disappeared on the spot, and the powerful air waves blew away the water on the ground.
When the two men showed up, they were already exchanging more than a dozen punches from a distance of more than ten meters.
The weapons infused with spiritual energy glowed with a pale golden light, colliding with each other and splashing red firelight.
"boom."
A private house on the street suffered damage and collapsed directly from the aftermath of the battle.
Fortunately, no one lives in the house, otherwise if the house collapses, there will definitely be casualties.
Some people saw this scene and quickly ran out of their homes and hid in other places.
At this time, continuing to stay at the scene of the fighting is irresponsible for your own life.
Many people fled, and the street suddenly became noisy.
Some people shouted and rushed to find soldiers to help, while others just ran away.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Several more houses were affected by the fighting and collapsed, and the officer also suffered a very serious injury.
"It's ridiculous that you want to keep me with your strength." The masked man in black said disdainfully, and then he turned around and ran away.
Although staying to fight could kill the enemy on the spot, he understood the current situation rationally.
If he continues to waste time and stays where he is, the soldiers who come to support him will surround him.
It won't be so easy to leave at that time.
"Stop, don't run." The officer shouted, his hands glowed with golden light, and then a chain quickly extended, shot out from his sleeves, and wrapped around the escaping masked man in black.
"Click."
The man in black, who was always alert to the enemy's movements, slashed out a sword with his backhand and cut off the incoming chains.
This blow did not free him, because the chain was still extending, blocking his way.
"Are you looking for death?" the masked man in black said coldly.
"My reinforcements are coming soon. It's hard to say who will die in the end." The officer did not flinch in the face of the threat, and used his superpower to continue manipulating the chains to delay time.
"In that case, then I will help you." The masked man in black said, and then the spiritual energy fluctuations on his body suddenly increased.
"You actually hid your strength." The officer sensed the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the enemy, and his eyes were full of horror.
