The wind screamed in her ears, and the world was turning upside down. Stella closed her eyes tightly and held the camera tightly in her arms.
Everything fell quickly.
Four mercury needles rushed out of the shadow of the building at the same time, rushing in the direction of Stella and Victoria. Two of them caught the fallen in the air, and the other two followed closely, ready to deal with the assassin's attack at any time. Raid.
Almost at this moment, the Mercury Needles discovered that there was one more person in their team - as they retreated to both sides, there was a vague shadow heading directly in the direction of the assassin.
"Come back!!" Veins popped up on Victoria's forehead - what time has it been? How come there are still people who don't understand the situation and rush forward!
However, the tragic scene as imagined did not appear. The visitor and the assassin chased each other in the air for several rounds, and no one side showed an overwhelming advantage. Just when the assassin tried to return to the church dome, that person halfway The shadow that shot out found a flaw, just like how the assassin captured Zoe before, she went around behind the assassin in the same posture.
——It’s Chiba.
Victoria finally recognized the person who came, it was Chiba Masaki.
"Be careful!" Victoria yelled to Chiba at the top of her lungs, "It's at the Acheron moment—!"
Chiba was startled, then let go and retreated, as if he was aware of the danger of the person in front of him.
The assassin landed very lightly on the stone angel statue on the church dome.
Immediately afterwards, four bloody arcs spurted out from the side of the assassin's neck and arms. It raised its head in a strange movement, as if looking at the stars in the sky.
Under the gaze of everyone, the assassin jumped off the stone statue and walked back onto the ridge of the church roof. It was like a puppet taking a final call, raising its hands and bowing in all directions.
Then, it kicked off the ground and jumped towards the other side of the church.
A dull crashing sound was heard, and everything fell into silence.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Everyone stay where you are," Victoria ordered. "Ende, Teresa, Susie, come with me to have a look."
The four crossed the church and searched down the location where the assassin fell.
"Found it! The body has been found!" Endai shouted loudly.
Everyone followed the sound.
In a pile of straw piled with many debris, there was a black coarse cloth covering the body. Through the exposed corner, people could see the pale skin that only belonged to the deceased.
Victoria stepped forward and lifted up the coarse cloth. The first thing she saw was a white belly - the deceased was obviously a man, and his chest was covered with curled hair.
The corpse had no head or limbs. Judging from the age spots on the skin, he should be an old man.
"Wait... there seems to be a corpse underneath!?"
Teresa and Susie stepped forward and removed the upper body, and a thinner male corpse appeared in front of everyone. As people moved the body, two bloody eyeballs purred from the deceased's body. The palm of the severed limb rolled down. Like the corpse above, it had its limbs cut off, and its genitals were brutally cut off. In addition, the corpse had a wound near the heart——
"...Rixi?" Endai murmured uncertainly.
For a moment, everyone seemed to be awakened - the two corpses lying here were not assassins at all, but the dead Schmidt and Rich.
"Damn it!" Victoria clenched her fists and kicked over several diabolo baskets piled nearby.
Being fooled... being fooled! No wonder the assassins are determined to operate around the church tonight, and they can't be driven away no matter how hard they are driven away.
Oh, what an Acheron moment...
It's just a trick for the cicada to escape from its shell!
——The assassin has been acting all night and is waiting here!
"Leave two people to seal the scene," Victoria said angrily, wanting to tear the assassin to pieces immediately, "The others come back to the base with me."
…
Sure enough, all the blood on Victoria's body came from Rich and Schmidt.
When the two were fighting inside the bell tower, it was these sudden spurts of blood that confused Victoria's eyes - the assassin obviously knew that everyone suspected it was a mercury needle, and it took advantage of this.
After calling the surveillance, people discovered the assassin's movement track. Just when Rich's two illegitimate children were causing trouble this morning, the assassin stole Mrs. Ravit's access card from the student apartment and entered the hospital from the A1 freight elevator.
Mrs. Lavitt's authority is very low. Her access card can only reach the first floor of the underground hospital - this is a place where all faculty and staff of the base can come. Usually, reservists come here for treatment when they have minor injuries or illnesses.
Where Rich and Schmidt were, it was much deeper than that.
But for the assassin, it is enough to enter the negative level.
Since the Raphael attack on the reserves in 4623, all reserve bases have added "special escape passages" within the corresponding facilities. When the chelate invades from the inside and outside of the base, it can cooperate with the "partition wall" to leave more escape options and detour space for the reserve forces in danger.
The entire escape plan was not only designed to withstand accidents like "Raphael", but the battle prospects it presupposed were even more terrifying - when the entire city had fallen, or was even at the center of a chelate wave, How can the reservists use such underground facilities to resist foreign enemies until rescue arrives or this round of chelation disease ends?
The route of this passage changes every year, and all medical workers and researchers in the underground hospital know nothing about it. Only the current reserve Mercury Needle can be familiar with the entire route under the leadership of the passage adjuster.
AHgAs has always spared no effort when it comes to preparing for a rainy day – just look at the cell towers scattered throughout the livable area.
However, looking at it today, this life-saving escape route has actually become the road to death for Schmidt and Rich.
Victoria lay exhausted in a dark ward of the underground hospital.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"There is news from the police station," Endai closed the door. "Lixi's two illegitimate sons received an anonymous letter yesterday. The letter promised that as long as they go to the reserve base to cause trouble this morning, they can successfully inherit Lixi's inheritance. Together, the two of them felt that if this quarrel continues, many things will disappear like the Golden Crow Palace, so..."
Endai's mouth sank, "However, we still don't know how the assassin knew that Rishi and Schmidt were at the base."
"It's not hard to guess." Victoria lay down and looked at the ceiling. "There are only a few large hospitals in Tan Yi. If those hospitals have not received serious patients recently, they are probably hidden in the base by us."
"Uh, but it's possible that we smuggled it away?"
"Neither of these two are big living people who can jump around. If they want to be smuggled, there is no way to hide so many following equipment." Victoria whispered, "During this time...it probably hasn't been idle at all. .”
