At this point, Mai Rui felt that the commission was almost half completed. What he had to consider now was how to escape from here without anyone noticing before he was discovered. If the target is discovered to have been killed, the entire Catlinburg will be in a state of emergency, and it will be difficult to leave easily.
Yes, Mai Rui never considered that he would miss!
In his opinion, the most difficult thing about assassinating an important figure like Kai is how to pass through the perimeter security. Once he gets close to the target, everything is doomed.
Kai is indeed a strong opponent, but that was Kai when he was awake. Kai is still immersed in his sleep now. If you want to kill him, you only need a dagger, and you don't need to think so much at all.
That's what Mai Rui thought and planned to do.
Kai's room is on the highest floor of the castle. There is only one exit, which is a corridor. It does not require many people to guard it, so only two soldiers are arranged at the entrance of the corridor. Mai Rui hid in the corner and observed secretly, and found that the only way to enter Kai's residence was through this corridor. As for the two soldiers, Mai Rui found that they were in good spirits and must have just changed shifts.
And the entrance to the corridor is not blocked. If you want to sneak in, you have to be blind.
So we can only use some extraordinary measures.
Thinking of this, Mai Rui smiled, turned around and left. After a while, Mai Rui found a servant's clothing from somewhere, put it on, and then walked over in a swaggering manner. His expression was very natural, as if he had walked into his own home, nothing strange.
Just like that, Mai Rui confidently passed by the two guards.
The two guards spotted Mai Rui as soon as he walked out, but they didn't react immediately when they saw Mai Rui's demeanor. They thought Mai Rui was someone from the castle, and waited until Mai Rui came closer. , they realized that this was Sir Kai's room, and no one was allowed to pass through at this time.
When they were about to call Mai Rui to ask, Mai Rui suddenly raised his finger and made a silent gesture, and then pointed to the room at the end of the corridor.
The two guards took one look and understood immediately. He meant to keep it down, Sir Kay was asleep. The two guards didn't think too much, but felt that it was very right. It was so late and it would be bad if they woke up Sir Kay. So he shut up in a very cooperative manner, and then asked Mai Rui to come closer, intending to ask in a low voice. If nothing happened, let him go farther away.
This is what Mai Rui wants. As a senior killer, he understands people's hearts very well. If he had just been aggressive or sneaky, then the two guards would definitely have shouted to stop him. After all, there was a ghost at first glance. On the contrary, if he had walked out confidently, the two guards would have never thought that he was the first person. Evil intentions.
After all, these soldiers had only recently arrived in this small town and were not familiar with the locals at all. In addition to the fact that Mai Rui was dressed like a servant, they took it for granted that Mai Rui was a servant of the castle.
Mai Rui came to the two guards with a smile on his face.
"What do you do?" one of the soldiers asked in a low voice.
Mai Rui glanced specifically at the room at the end of the corridor, then waved to the two soldiers, motioning them to come closer. The expressions and movements were so natural that the two soldiers naturally didn't think much about it, so they really came closer.
The moment the two soldiers' heads came closer, Mai Rui waved his hands, and the two daggers slid across the soldiers' necks. Being suddenly attacked, the two guards instinctively wanted to scream, but Mai Rui's attack was fast and hard. The dagger that had just scratched their necks had already cut off their vocal cords, and they did not give them a chance to speak out.
After cutting the two people's throats, Mai Rui immediately supported the two people very considerately and covered their mouths and noses with his hands to hasten their death. In less than ten seconds, the suffocation caused accelerated bleeding, and the two of them immediately fell into shock. At this point, there was actually no difference between shock and burping, and there was no hope of saving anyway.
As the sound of spurting blood gradually became smaller, Mai Rui gently put the two of them down without making any sound.
After cleaning up the two of them, Mai Rui did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood there and waited for a while. He was paying attention to the movement to see if anyone was coming. After finding that the surroundings were still quiet, Mai Rui walked towards Kai's room softly with satisfaction.
The door to the room was easily opened. In this era, there were no such complicated door locks. Most of them were latch-type door locks, which could be opened with a few pries with a dagger. Even a third-rate thief could do this, let alone Our king of killers.
But Mai Rui was different from other thieves. He didn't rush to knock on the door, but was very slow. Because he knew that the strongest knight in the entire Celtic kingdom was sleeping in this room. If there was any loud movement, it would very likely wake him up. If he was discovered, he was not sure if he would have such a chance next time. .
So he would rather go slow and be safe.
Of course, the speed also depends on the target. With the reputation of Mai Rui as the king of killers, his craftsmanship cannot be compared to that of ordinary thieves. No matter how slow it is, it can only take five seconds to open the door. Mai Rui held the door handle, gently pulled it up, and then slowly opened the door. This is to avoid making noise when opening the door.
When the door slowly opened, Mai Rui quickly found his target.
Mai Rui did not hesitate. He was not as cautious as before. Instead, he rushed to the bed in one swift step and stabbed the bulging quilt with his dagger!
But the moment the dagger pierced the quilt, Mai Rui felt bad!
The feeling coming from the dagger was wrong. It was not the feeling of the dagger stabbing into the flesh! There is no one under the quilt!
Mai Rui immediately understood that he had been exposed, and he immediately dropped the dagger in his hand and prepared to run away. Unfortunately, he was still a little slow, and saw a long sword extending out from under the bed silently, like cutting butter, and gently cut off Mai Rui's legs at the knee!
"Ah!!" Mai Rui was considered a tough guy, and he only screamed twice after his legs were cut off. He even planned to fight stubbornly, but unfortunately the severe pain had taken away his strength to resist, and his dagger could not touch the target at all.
Mai Rui fell to the ground, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure slowly crawling out from under the bed. That person is exactly his target - Kai! Now he doesn't know that others have discovered him a long time ago and are waiting for him to come to his door!
"How did you discover me?!" This was what Mai Rui couldn't figure out the most. He believed that he had not made any mistakes and it should be impossible to be discovered.
Kai touched his nose and said contemptuously: "You shouldn't kill the soldiers at the door. The smell of blood is too strong."
However, before Mai Rui could say anything, he saw a foot appear in front of his eyes, and then he fainted without knowing anything!
…
Although Mai Rui fainted quickly and was very tough, he finally screamed. In the dead of night, in the early hours of the morning, someone suddenly screamed. The sound was not very sudden. In addition, the Kaizhi Army has always been strict. Even in the early hours of the morning, the sentry posts were very strict. These two screams quickly alarmed the building. In less than a minute, a group of soldiers rushed over screaming.
When they arrived at Kai's room, they found Kai in pajamas holding a sword, and an unknown black man lying on the floor.
"It's an assassin, he's not dead yet. Take him down, help him stop bleeding, don't let him die, I want to see who wants to assassinate me!" When Kai saw the person coming, he didn't get angry, but was very calm. explained.
A group of soldiers did not have the mental quality as good as Kay. They were almost scared to death when they saw someone assassinating Sir Kay. After all, they were responsible for guarding. If Sir Kay really died in the assassination, their fate would be known without even thinking about it.
