Before anyone else could react, Zoe and Teresa had already chased away - the two people who had entered bullet time in advance were like two hunting lionesses, clinging to the assassin's tracks.
Tanglar had already closed his eyes in fear. He was jumped up and down by the assassin. Teresa's severed half hand was still firmly holding his collar, beating him regularly with every jump. of both cheeks.
Suddenly, Tangglars felt that everything seemed to have stopped. A burst of pungent smoke made him cough. He opened his eyes blankly, and what he saw in front of him made his dangling feet suddenly weak - he was perched on a Standing on the top of a towering monument, the weight of his whole body is tied to one hand of the assassin. Smoke is billowing from all sides, and there are flames everywhere. They spread rapidly through the hunting winter wind, like orange-red ocean waves.
Seeing the "assassin" at such a close distance made Tanglar a little scared. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and said with difficulty: "You... Youleka... is that you?"
"Shut up." Hesta replied coldly, "Of course it's me."
Tangglar's heart was relieved, and at the same time a happy smile appeared on his face. The fire made him shed tears, "Quickly, take me away from this hellish place, wuwuwu——"
"Stop crying, be careful of burning your trachea."
Tanglar's voice quickly turned into a sob of unknown meaning.
From a high place, Hesta quickly saw the whole picture of the cemetery - Villefort's mercury needle had begun to evacuate with his family, and Endai and Susie were escorting them, plus Gal who was following in the dark. Wen, three people left in total.
And now, she has a total of six visible captors. In other words, including Victoria, there are three foreign aids who may rush out from unknown corners at any time.
Victoria, what on earth do you want to do? Let me try it now.
…
"The target remains at the top of the obelisk."
Outside the fire, the mercury needles quickly dispersed. High temperature is the natural enemy of mercury needles. Not only that, flames and smoke also naturally have the effect of erasing odors. Rushing into a fire scene will only allow the assassin to escape the pursuit. They will not be fooled.
This cemetery is located in the southeast corner of Tamyi City, very close to the countryside. To the east and south are open woods and pastures. Countless signal towers are located among them. There are many temporary mercury needle workstations along the way, which is very suitable for carrying out work. Hunting operation - not to mention that this time she brought a fat man with her.
The only gap is in the west. From the cemetery to the west is almost the old urban boundary of Tanyi City. A large number of abandoned houses are vacant. Due to disputes over land property rights, there are very few signal towers there, and many are scattered here and there. Vacuum zone.
Zoe and the other two Mercury Needles were waiting in the west of the cemetery. In the rising black smoke, they stared at the assassin's figure - or they waited for the fire to end, and they gave the assassin and Tanglar a Collect the corpse together, or if the assassin rushes over, they will immediately cut off all her escape routes.
Assassin...
There was a voice whispering in Zoe's heart. She held her breath, and every joint in her body was immersed in the excitement of fighting.
"Moved!"
The assassin on top of the obelisk suddenly jumped backwards. In Zoe's field of vision, her figure was briefly obscured by the stone monument, but then, everyone's hearts sank——
"She went northwest!"
For a moment, no one could understand the assassin's choice - the northwest direction was Tang Yi's urban area. If it was just to escape pursuit, there didn't seem to be much difference between walking in the city and walking in the countryside, but now the assassin was carrying a Tang Yi. Tangglar, and she obviously wanted to capture him alive, otherwise Tangglar would have died a hundred times since the hostage-taking.
This means that in the next period of time, the assassin will not be able to actively fight and can only passively defend.
Under such circumstances, he still had to leave the city. Zoe didn't know whether to say that this person was in a hurry or that he was brave.
"The assassin's position has been recaptured, everyone has restored the three-by-three system, and—"
Theresa's new order came through the earphones, and on the screen of the goggles, they quickly got the precise dynamic coordinates of the assassin.
"Drive the assassin to the bell tower."
Everyone said with a sigh:
"clear!"
…
In the bustling market, everyone is focused on the affairs in front of them, except for some children sitting in small carts looking at the clouds in the sky in a daze.
There are few birds in winter, but occasionally some unknown birds swoop down from the branches, pick up crumbs or bugs, and then quickly fly elsewhere.
Even something like this would make the kids laugh.
Suddenly, several little girls opened their eyes wide at the same time - just now, just above their heads, a man in a cloak flew past the sky carrying something.
No, it might not be accurate to say flying. The figure was like an elf in a fairy tale. He stepped on the tall buildings on both sides of the street in a z-shape in the afternoon light and disappeared after a while.
The baby, who could not speak yet, stretched out his hand toward the sky and let out a surprised babble. The adults quickly turned around and pushed the children back into the car to prevent them from falling.
"What are you doing..." A young mother hurriedly dealt with her daughter until she also raised her head following her daughter's line of sight - three tall women flew past her head one after another.
The crowd screamed one after another, but the three women had long disappeared.
More people ran out of the room and curiously asked what happened. People on the street pointed to the sky above their heads: "There's someone... flying again."
Hesta carried the heavy load and once again flew across this city she was so familiar with.
She had never overlooked the city at noon. Her previous flights were always at dusk or midnight. At that time, all the buildings and people were shrouded in a different kind of tranquility, which was not as lively as it is now.
She rushed all the way towards Villefort's Palace of Rohan, occasionally fighting briefly with the mercury needles that suddenly caught up with her. She was never reluctant to fight. When they came from the west, she would go east in a roundabout way, and vice versa.
From a distance, she finally saw the ruined Bell Tower Square. At this moment, it was still tightly surrounded by police isolation tapes. There was no one in the huge square, but the stones of the previously fallen bell tower had been transported away. Walked most of the way.
In this open space without buildings, Hestad sped up his running pace - as long as he continued walking for seven or eight blocks, the Rohan Palace would be there. She could hear her pursuers behind her already thirty meters away. In the final distance, she would not give them any chance to catch up with her.
Suddenly, she felt a numbness under her right shoulder blade, followed by a tearing pain.
"We meet again -" Victoria's voice came from behind the stone statue in the square, "Assassin!!"
