"so troublesome."
The murderer muttered and reluctantly took out the dagger from his waist.
The hand rises and the knife falls.
The dagger did not hit the cup, but penetrated deeply into Chris's thigh.
The human body lying on the ground did not move at all, as if what the other party stabbed was a piece of wood.
The perpetrator was finally relieved, and she chuckled: "Let me tell you, if you were hit by a level 4 'Pyroblast', there would still be anyone alive?"
While muttering to herself, she pulled the dagger out of her thigh. Blood suddenly gushes out and spread under Chris.
This time, the dagger did not fall in a hurry, and the bloody blade hovered above the back. The murderer half-bowed, gesturing how to use the knife to dig out the cup easily and effortlessly.
After a moment, she finally decided on her position and swung her sword down.
"Ding--"
As soon as the tip of the knife penetrated the burnt skin, it hit something hard and was unable to penetrate any further.
Then, through the tattered, charred skin, she saw a row of orange lights lighting up one after another along the direction of her spine.
"...Heinekan Contract?!!"
She backed away hastily.
"Zheng——"
A silver light flew out from the spine.
"clang--"
In a hurry, the murderer blocked it with a dagger...
But it only blocked it for a moment.
The next moment, the dagger broke, and the silver light continued to move forward along its original trajectory, cutting off the arm holding the dagger and flying towards the murderer's neck.
Cha——
"Gu...gugu...chuck...chuck..."
The murderer's face was full of horror. She covered her neck tightly with her remaining hand, and bright red blood kept gushing out from between her fingers.
Chris, who was lying on the ground, stood up unsteadily. The silver light circled around like a boomerang and returned to her, and she caught it in her hand.
Only then did the murderer finally see clearly that the knife that cut his throat was a narrow and long knife. It was entirely silver and the blade was only about 1 centimeter wide. It was so thin that the thickness could not be seen at all.
"What? Can't breathe?"
Holding a narrow knife, Chris slowly walked toward the murderer. Her long, messy gray hair fell down, covering her face, leaving only one eye exposed.
"But not breathing doesn't mean you will die...are you right?"
She swung the knife in her hand hard.
clang!
The blade failed to cut into the opponent's body and was blocked in mid-air only a few centimeters away from the target.
It was a transparent barrier shining with golden light. This barrier was like a bell, tightly covering the opponent inside. Behind the barrier, the murderer whose throat was cut gradually stopped breathing and fell down with a dull expression, but Chris knew that the other person would not die now.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, the slogan "Welcome to Moan Insurance" appeared on the cover.
Chris knew that she had no chance to kill her. She couldn't stay here for long. Since the other party wanted to kill her, there was no guarantee that someone would not arrange a follow-up attack. A second round of attacks could come at any time.
She could only run away quickly.
With a soft "click" sound, a thin groove opened in her spine. Chris inserted the narrow knife into it with her backhand, and the groove closed immediately. On both sides of the spine, rectangular orange lights lit up one after another from top to bottom, and Chris bent her knees slightly, getting ready to start.
boom--
With a roar, her entire body turned into an afterimage, rushing forward at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
…
In an old apartment in the lower city, the door suddenly opened, and a figure stumbled in. After locking the door with her backhand, she exhausted her last bit of strength. His body slowly slid down against the door panel, and finally fell completely to the ground.
"Gu...poof..."
A large mouthful of bright red blood vomited out of Chris's mouth.
She knew her insides must have ruptured. The power of the level 4 "Pyroblast" was indeed no joke. Even if the "Heinekan Spine" withstood most of the damage, the remaining explosion power was still enough to shatter her internal organs.
In addition, she used "overload" twice when fighting back and escaping, which increased the load on her body and made her injuries more hopeless.
Moreover, she had no insurance on her.
At this point, unless a witch who signed a "healing" contract heals her, she will die within ten minutes.
...But if you think about it optimistically, this means that you still have a few minutes to think about why you were assassinated?
The senior management of "Ocean Charter" must have discovered their behavior. Although she used every means to cover up, paper could not cover up the fire.
But this does not constitute a reason for the company's senior management to kill her. On the contrary, the other party should try to capture her alive, because only she knows about the Moby Dick - the ship that dug a huge financial hole in the company - —Where did he go?
"vomit……"
Another mouthful of blood gushes out of her throat. This time, Chris even saw fragments of internal tissue in the blood.
Why... would they want to kill themselves? What good would it do them to kill themselves? !
The consciousness became more and more blurred.
Who cares about her...I'm going to die anyway, why do I still want to do so much?
Chris laughed dryly, which affected the wound. What followed was a series of violent coughs. She coughed blood on the floor, everywhere. Looking at these bright reds, Chris knew that she was really is dying.
...The ship never came back. Maybe that guy named Xia Ye also died in the Aether Sea?
You lost the bet and risked your life. How stupid.
However, with the loss of another ship in the "long-distance ship chartering", I am afraid that it will not escape the fate of bankruptcy.
I don’t seem to be at a huge loss either.
Haha...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
Chris grinned and laughed silently. In her increasingly blurred vision, she saw a flower growing from the blood on the floor. The color of the bud was redder than the blood.
Is this the so-called near-death hallucination? she thought vaguely.
The small pool of blood that grew out of the flower dried up in the blink of an eye. The flower drank it dry and grew taller at the same time. The next second, the blood spilled on the floor began to squirm and gathered in the direction of the flowers. The flowers continued to suck them dry and grew taller and taller.
"..."
Chris stared at all this blankly. She no longer had the ability to distinguish whether this was an illusion or reality.
In a blink of an eye, the flower has grown to the height of a person, the buds bloom, and a girl jumps out.
The girl walked towards Chris. As the distance got closer, Chris saw pure white long hair and crimson eyes.
...Summer night? How could she jump out of the flower? This illusion is really outrageous.
Chris thought vaguely, and the next second, her consciousness completely sank into darkness.
…
…
"Curen, my ideal is to build a very big ship and sail it westward until the end of the etheric sea. I want to see what it is like there..."
…
"Chris, other shareholders of the company have strong opinions on you now. You have wasted too many resources on meaningless things. If this continues, I am afraid that even I will..."
…
"...If it is such a company, Debsota can get as much money as he wants. What is the point of its existence?!"
…
"You need a boat! A special boat that can hunt that white whale!"
…
"Have you ever heard the saying 'bangs are the killer of your appearance'?"
…
"When I come back from whaling, you can come with me and get a haircut..."
…
Chris slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing that caught her eye was a beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes.
"Summer night..."
"You really like Xia Ye, I heard you call her name several times." The girl said.
"……Huh?"
As her eyes gradually focused, Chris realized that the girl in front of her was not Xia Ye. Unlike the latter's attractive appearance, the beauty in front of her looked cooler.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is 'Susa'." The girl said indifferently.
"I originally came to deliver a message to Xia Ye. I didn't expect that when I found you, you were already dying. In order to prevent you from dying before receiving the message, I had to use some methods to let you live a little longer. meeting."
