The chain at the end of the flying blade suddenly straightened, and the blood-stained blade was pulled out from the assassin's back. Two other mercury needles shot out from the front and back at the same time, cooperating with Victoria to launch an attack on the ground.
However, the assassin's reaction speed was still far beyond the expectations of the Mercury Needles. She threw off her cloak and swept up all the blood spots splashing in the air, without any falling to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the assassin jumped up at an unimaginable speed, catching up with and grabbing Victoria's flying knife. The specially made chain broke like a thread in her hand. At the same time, she lifted the knife she had been carrying on her shoulders. Tangglar threw it into the air, and a mercury needle immediately changed the direction of the chase and caught the hostage with the same swift movement——
"...This is not Tanglar! It's a dummy!"
On the other side, Victoria had blocked the assassin's escape route. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the "Viscount" that had been thrown to the ground. There was black filling material spilling from the cracked face of the dummy.
An unknown fire rose from the bottom of Victoria's heart - she originally planned to catch this person in one fell swoop the last time they fought here, but at that time the assassin perfectly simulated the precursor of the "Acheron Moment", causing her to An opportunity wasted in vain...
"Don't even think about escaping again——!"
Hesta clearly felt that the blood was seeping into her innermost clothes, so she no longer used her right shoulder.
The premonition of defeat vaguely emerged in her heart. However, the more moments like this, the more she felt a flaming wave rushing through her veins. In the blurry scenery that quickly retreated on both sides, she gradually approached her own limit.
She effectively confused the pursuers in front and behind her with her continuous feints. She suddenly broke through the gap that the mercury needles were chasing and blocked, and then plunged into the residential area near the square.
In the sudden commotion, Hesta felt as if most of the sounds in the world had briefly sunk into the water, leaving only her own heartbeat and breathing that became particularly obvious.
Her vision seemed to be clearer than ever before, and everything around her was slowing down. She even noticed several mercury needles in the distance that were trying to outflank and were running diagonally towards her... The entire battlefield suddenly became quiet and clear. Without warning, she turned 90 degrees, leaving everyone behind again.
…
When the assassin completely jumped out of the mercury needles' encirclement, her running route became a straight line, and Victoria ordered the pursuit to be terminated - there was no point in pursuing it anymore.
The siren of the police car rang throughout the city. From the cemetery to the city center, the police officers began to search for Tanglar's whereabouts from house to house. All police dogs were dispatched. However, there was no progress. The first scene of the accident had already been Burned beyond recognition, it is completely unknown when and where Tanglar was transferred.
At this moment, Si Lei still knew nothing about the brief battle in the city center, but she got the news of Tanglar's disappearance at the first time, which almost confirmed all her conjectures today - in such a rapidly changing battle situation, It would be almost impossible to complete all plans without Tanglar's active cooperation.
It's a pity that it's a step too late...
The fire was extinguished at this moment, but the embers in the forest still had the momentum to rekindle. Si Lei came to the foot of the obelisk - this was the place where she last saw the assassin carrying Tanglar through the telescope. In the hands of the assassin, Tanglar Graal didn't struggle at all.
Si Lei raised his head and thought deeply.
Even if the assassin really approached under the guise of Roger, would Tanglar really trust a sudden "rescue" so much? What's more, this rescuer is wearing the clothes of an assassin...
etc.
What if this person is the mercury needle next to Tanglar?
A flash of inspiration flashed through Si Lei's mind, and she felt that she had once again grasped the crux of the matter - if the assassin was the mercury needle next to Tanglar, then naturally he would not have any abilities similar to those of an assassin on this person. Not the slightest bit surprised.
A sudden shiver ran through Si Lei's limbs. She quickly took out her cell phone and tried to dial Victoria, but before she finished dialing the number, Victoria had already called.
"Hello." Si Lei's voice was trembling, and she couldn't hide the excitement in her tone. "Victoria, where are you now?"
"...I'm at the police station with Paul."
"I'm going to find you now." Si Lei strode toward the nearby cemetery gate.
"Okay, I called just to tell you about this," Victoria's voice lowered, "Pauler and the others caught a man sneaking around at the crime scene. Come and take a look. Well...I have something to do and can't stay long."
"Who is he? Do I know him?"
"We know each other, we all know each other... Anyway, you will know when you come here."
"Wait a minute -" Before Si Lei could finish his words, Victoria had already hung up the phone.
Si Lei frowned, but did not pursue the matter. She ran through the cemetery and happened to run into a group of new police officers who had just arrived when she went out. She grabbed a random person and asked, "Can you drive?"
"……meeting?"
"Help me drive to the police station!"
After Si Lei showed his ID, the man did not refuse. She got into the car with Si Lei. Along the way, Si Lei's fingers flew, editing all her thoughts into an email. When the car stopped at the door of the police station, she Just hit the send button.
Si Lei unbuckled his seat belt and said, "Thank you! It was a big help!"
She walked quickly all the way, but unfortunately, when she arrived at the interrogation room to see Pauler, she was still told that "Victoria had left twenty minutes ago."
Si Lei scratched his head - forget it, the emails have been sent to Victoria and Theresa anyway...
"She just called me and said you caught a suspicious person at the scene?"
"Yes, she claims to know you too, so you can prove her innocence..." Pauler rubbed his hands flatteringly, "I think I still need you to see it for yourself before you can decide whether to let her go or not -"
Si Lei frowned, "What can I prove... where is she?"
"inside."
Pauler led Si Lei into the interrogation room. Under the bright white light, Si Lei saw a familiar face - Stella Clifford.
"Officer Si Lei!" Stella stood up.
"...Why are you here?" Si Lei paused and realized the answer before Stella could answer. "You went to the cemetery to take pictures today?"
"Yes," Stella smiled bitterly, "After all, there is only one news that everyone outside is concerned about right now..."
Si Lei looked at Paul, "Where's her camera?"
"Put it away," Pauler whispered beside Si Lei, "Do you think you should give it back to her now or..."
"Give it back to her," Si Lei looked at Stella with his hands on his hips, shook his head and smiled, "I'll take her with me too."
