Faced with the choking and sobbing coming from behind, Jason did not turn around.
On the contrary, he took a big step forward.
At the same time, the lever-action shotgun in his hand was passed through his armpit, with the muzzle backward.
boom!
Large swaths of projectiles shot out immediately.
The choking and sobbing sounds disappeared.
Click, click!
Jason turned around amid the rhythmic sound of the 'Winchester Brothers' cocking.
As far as the eye can see, there is nothing!
Then,
Choking and sobbing sounded again.
still……
Behind you!
However, this time the sound was closer.
It was as if this choked and sobbing man took a small step forward.
Jason's heart tightened.
He definitely didn't want to be approached by such a weird existence.
Without any hesitation, he pulled the trigger again.
boom!
The muzzle flash flashed.
Then, Jason turned around again and loaded his gun.
But what was different from before was that after turning around, Jason pulled out a wide-blade short-handled machete. He raised the knife and looked behind him through the reflection on the side of the blade.
A blurry figure was reflected on the blade.
The choking and crying sounds came from that figure.
It seemed that he noticed Jason's gaze.
The figure's choked sobs and sobs became louder.
Moreover, he took the initiative and walked towards Jason step by step.
boom!
The projectile sprayed out of the muzzle and passed directly past the blurry figure.
Obviously, it has no effect.
The blurry figure accelerated instantly, changed from walking to trotting, and was about to pounce on Jason.
"si..."
Subconsciously, Jason prepared to release the secret technique [Protection from Evil].
The first word of the Tufu language has already sounded.
The handprints are mostly completed.
However, at this moment, Jason suddenly stopped.
A question appeared in his mind.
Who is this sudden attacker?
Or to be more precise, what is the purpose of this attacker?
‘Herc’s Potion’!
Jason couldn't think of anything else besides this.
Since the other party came for the 'Herc Potion', he naturally knew about the 'Gravekeeper' Santel, and would also know his identity as the 'Night Watcher'.
Even the other party is very likely to know about the temptation when returning from the cemetery.
So……
A new problem has arisen!
If the other party knew that he was a 'night watchman', would he still use methods similar to those restrained by [Protection from Evil] to deal with him?
The answer is, no!
No one would choose to use their own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths.
As for this is what the other party is good at?
That would be even more impossible.
If what you are good at is restrained, you will make wise choices.
unless……
The opponent can have the confidence to counterattack and crush him.
But if it could really reach that level, why would the other party play such a trick and just let the blurry figure pounce directly on him? With the speed shown by the blurry figure, he had no room to dodge.
That is to say...
trap!
This is a trap targeting the characteristics of his profession 'Night Watch'!
The vague figure in front of me is not a resentful spirit or evil spirit at all.
But——
Illusion!
When the word 'illusion' appeared in his mind, more understanding appeared in Jason's heart:
The other party must know what happened in the hall before.
Confirmed his 'immortality' characteristic.
The other party was not sure how to deal with him who was 'immortal'.
However, he is not without weaknesses.
For example: physical strength!
Immortality is immortality.
Tiredness is tiredness.
Coincidentally, as a 'Night Watchman', he also possesses a secret technique that can drain out his physical strength almost instantly.
【Protect from evil】!
This is the inheritance of the 'Night Watch', and it can also be said to be the strongest point of the 'Night Watch', but at some point, the strongest point will also become the weakest point.
In response to this, the other party began to make plans.
So, there is the situation in front of us.
The guesses and speculations in my mind flashed by in an instant.
The phantom before my eyes is so close.
The Tufu language that paused slightly in his mouth sounded again.
"si ot yn!"
It was just words, but the coordination of the handprints was a beat slower.
[Protection from Evil] was not successfully activated.
But the phantom disappeared.
It is indeed an illusion!
With the conclusion clear in his heart, Jason panted heavily and looked extremely tired.
For illusions, the most direct way is to use pain to regain consciousness.
But Jason didn't just want to lift the illusion.
What he wants is to get rid of the person who arranged the illusion.
Not only the opponent's ability, but also the layout ability shown by the opponent made Jason wary.
This time, he reacted in time and saw through such an illusion.
But what about next time?
Who can guarantee that he will not step into the opponent's layout.
Especially at certain moments of battle, a surprise attack from the other side would be enough to make him overwhelmed, or even...death.
enemy?
After all, it is better to die.
Snap, snap.
Loud applause echoed in the room.
A middle-aged man wearing a black tuxedo and a top hat clapped his hands and looked at Jason with a smile.
"It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency the Immortal Night Watcher."
"It was just some little tricks."
"In order to allow us to talk calmly."
As the other party spoke, he took out a test tube.
It is filled with light green liquid.
The other party shook the test tube, and the smile on his face became stronger.
The other party continued:
"Of course……"
"The same is true for some of the next measures."
"Don't worry, I will make good use of your body."
"After all, some people will definitely like their bodies after taking [Herc Silver Pill]."
After saying this, the other party will uncork the bottle.
But Jason is faster.
Jason, who was panting and almost crumbling one moment, brandished his knife the next moment.
puff!
The broad-bladed short-handled machete passed over the opponent's neck.
Surprise, astonishment, appeared on the other person's face.
Then it solidifies.
The head fell, and the opponent's body swayed before he knelt on the ground. The potion in his palm was caught by Jason just before it fell to the ground.
Then, Jason examined the other party's body carefully.
A money bag contains 12 grams of gold, 3 grams of silver, and 5 grams of copper, but no copper corners.
A revolver with a magazine fully loaded with 10 rounds of ammunition.
Other than that, there are no items of value.
Jason put the money bag, revolver and bullets into his pocket, and put them into the pile of loot.
Then, he turned and looked at the door.
With the death of 'The Layout', Eric was apparently free of illusions.
The servant was confused, but he knocked on the door anyway.
Boom, boom!
"Sir Jason."
"It's me, Eric."
"I bring you compensation."
As soon as Eric's voice fell, Jason, who had already smelled the aroma of food, immediately opened the door.
Suddenly, a stronger and stronger fragrance hit my face.
Like a breeze.
Cozy and comfortable.
Then, he couldn't wait to look at the source of the fragrance.
