As the footsteps got closer and closer to his bedroom, Cherki realized that he could not wait any longer.
He immediately reached out to touch the secret compartment in the closet on the right, hoping to open the secret passage door and escape. However, at this moment, the broken leg that had been dragging him down suddenly started to feel severe pain again.
This severe pain made Cherki couldn't help but twitch, and the wooden prosthetic leg suddenly kicked against the closet door!
Bang!
There was a muffled sound, and Cherki's face suddenly turned pale!
He understood that now he had revealed that he knew the other person's information and his location in the house, and the other party would definitely not search slowly from room to room!
Sure enough, at the next moment, the footsteps outside the house immediately became louder. The intruder quickly came to Cherki's bedroom door, and then slashed the bedroom door with a knife!
Click!
The sharp blade instantly penetrated the thin wooden door, and the strange airflow that flashed on the tip of the knife twisted the entire door into powder!
Old Cherki, who was hiding in the closet opposite the door, saw this scene through the crack of the closet door, and his face suddenly turned as white as a dead man!
He is a professional!
He is actually a professional!
What kind of god did my old Cherki offend? That such a great master came to take my life in person?
He felt that every nerve and muscle in his body was trembling crazily, and the hand that had touched the hidden compartment of the mechanism kept sliding to the side like a control.
Damn it! Damn it! Come on! Come on!
Old Cherki swallowed furiously and stared at the crack in the closet door with round eyes.
He saw a guy wearing a black silk robe, and a bright knife with a light blue shimmer in his hand!
The black robe walked straight towards the closet, as if he already knew that Cherki was hiding inside.
The old sea hunter was extremely frightened.
His wonderful retirement life has just begun, and there are still many things he has not enjoyed yet. How could he die in a pile of ripped shorts like this?
Step by step, the black robe slowly walked to the closet. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the closet door...
"Asshole! Hurry up!" Cherky shouted crazily in his heart, trying his best to control the muscles in his right hand that were spasming due to extreme tension.
This feeling reminded him of the first time he felt dragged into the water by a swordtail shark that suddenly burst out of the water on a sea hunting boat. The cold feeling as if death was around him, and his whole body felt like it was being poured down the ridge.
As stiff as the paralyzing poison of the beast...
At that time, I had a boatload of good companions to support me, but I only faced water beasts with no brute force.
But now... Old Cherki is not only alone, but his opponent is also an existence that he cannot fight against at all...
Just when he was about to despair of his fate, his right hand suddenly touched a small round handle.
This familiar touch made Cherki see the last glimmer of hope in despair, and he immediately used all his strength to pull the handle down!
Click!
The flimsy wooden handle broke off!
But the secret door opened immediately, and Cherki turned over and rolled backwards, rolling directly into the secret door behind the wardrobe.
When he fell into the secret passage, the secret door was closed again. The next moment, the closet door was suddenly opened, and a bright saber was handed in with a "snap"!
Do!
The tip of the saber pierced the partition of the closet, and the feeling that came back stunned the man in black.
It was clear that the sound he just heard came from this closet. Why was there no one inside?
Under the secret passage behind the closet, Cherki was lying on the ground without saying a word.
This secret passage was vertical. The moment he rolled in, he fell directly into the basement along the secret passage.
Fortunately, he had placed a lot of straw at the exit of the secret passage in advance, otherwise, just one fall would have killed half of his life.
What he fears most now is that that guy will also discover the secret passage and chase him down it. Then he will really have no way to go to the sky or to the earth.
Therefore, although old Cherki was in terrible pain all over his body, and the broken leg that almost killed him was in throbbing pain, he did not dare to make a sound at all, for fear of being rumored to be a wise man.
The professional master who can see thousands of miles at every turn was discovered.
However, what Cherki, an old guy who had been misled by rumors, didn't know was that although the man in black robes he faced was indeed a professional, his level was not even level 20, and he was just a vanguard pawn.
Because his level is too low, he is still only a peripheral member of the True God Religion. He belongs to the kind of cannon fodder who knows nothing and has no value even if he is caught.
It's fair to say that such a guy has sharp ears and eyes, but it's really an exaggeration to say that he can inspect thousands of miles.
However, the fact that this guy was sent to carry out the assassination mission showed that he was at least a little quick-witted. The moment he saw no one in the closet, the first possibility he thought of was a secret passage!
However, just when this guy was about to check whether there was really a secret passage in the closet, a giant rat suddenly jumped out from a corner of the closet!
This guy also had a worn leather rope in his mouth, and one end of the leather rope was connected to an iron hook that was almost broken.
The black robe was caught off guard and was startled by the little thing that suddenly jumped out. By the time he reacted, the fat mouse had already ran out of the door with a leather rope in its mouth, and he didn't know where it went.
.
"What the hell!"
The black robe cursed in a low voice, slammed the closet door with his left hand, and walked around the house a few times with the saber in hand, but only found a few tattered clothes stained with wine that Cherki hadn't had time to change.
.
He shook his head angrily, slashed several times at Cherki's bed as if to vent his anger, and then walked out of the room without looking back and went to search other rooms.
At this time, Cherki, who was hiding at the exit of the secret passage in the basement of the house, was holding his breath and was about to faint.
Finally, when he couldn't stand it anymore, he loosened his mouth and nose and carefully took a few deep breaths.
Then he discovered that the black-robed evil star didn't seem to have discovered the secret passage?
It seems that the legendary "professional master" is not as scary as imagined...
He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, sat up and rubbed the painful parts of his body with a grin on his face, while he began to quickly think of an escape plan in his mind.
The entrance to the basement of this house is in the kitchen, and there is no other exit that leads directly to the outside. From the kitchen to the door, you have to pass through the living room, and above the living room is the porch of the second floor room.
Unless he, Cherki, was tired of living, he would never dare to walk out of the front door in such a swaggering manner.
In this case...the only solution for now is to wait.
When the professional man looks around the house and can't find his figure, he may think that he is not in the house.
As long as he is allowed to leave the manor, Cherki will immediately pack up his things and run away.
He felt that he needed to hide in other kingdoms for a while to get rid of his bad luck.
