Siesta, seaside bookstore.
Just like yesterday, when Gavin opened the door to the bedroom on the second floor, he was greeted by The Night Owl sitting beside the bed.
The girl is like a sculpture, bathed in sunshine, peaceful and beautiful. She stared at the beach opposite, never blinking, and seemed not to feel dry.
The blue of the sea highlighted her eyes, more or less adding some life to this lifeless girl, and Gavin's hanging heart slowly relaxed.
The Night Owl was as quiet as ever.
This is really good news.
Gavin knew very well that the danger of the night owl was directly proportional to her beauty.
Although past experiments proved that the girl would not harm him, he still felt awe after seeing the night owl's methods. The way the two of them got along was more like master and servant than superior and subordinate.
Night Owl is the master and Gavin is the servant.
People who master powerful weapons probably have this mentality.
"Failed."
Despite Gavin's careful movements, he inevitably made a sound as he sat on the couch.
It's very slight, but it can't escape the night owl's ears.
The girl did not turn to look at him, but still stared at the beach outside the window.
The voice was as cute as her trembling ear feathers.
"Is there an error in the information?"
When prepared, Night Owl plus Whisper equals a 99.9% success rate.
The reason for the existence of that 0.1% is that there are force majeure in this world, such as natural disasters.
But this morning, Xista was extremely ordinary. Not to mention the natural disaster, there wasn’t even a slightly bigger wave on the sea. How could there be any force majeure?
If you still fail in this way, you can only find problems within yourself.
"No."
After a few seconds of silence, Ye Xiao answered.
The intelligence collected by Jina and others was quite detailed, and Valentine's abilities and performance were all mentioned.
In addition to the incredible medical spells, the intelligence also highlighted that he had participated in the Qicheng mission. We made reasonable speculations about him through rumors and some information on the forum, and concluded that his combat thinking and will are far beyond those of ordinary operators. in conclusion.
To put it simply, Valentine, who had experienced the Battle of Qicheng, was already a veteran in the eyes of Jina and others, with strong reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities.
Especially the sentence "It is very likely that she has experienced a life and death crisis" made Ye Xiao take this goal more seriously, so much so that she chose the assassination method of 'unmanned sniping'.
Night Owl's Origin Stone skills can allow things to switch freely between solid and liquid states, and he has reached the level of perfection.
Not only can it create a clone using external objects, but it can also allow the object to maintain its original function after changing its form.
In contrast, using optical principles to make transformed objects “invisible” is a basic application.
However, these operations are easy to say but extremely difficult to do.
It’s not that it’s too taxing on the body, it’s just that the precision requirements are too high, and if you make a slight mistake, you’ll fall short.
The few seconds it took to snipe Valentine were not the limit for Night Owl, but it was almost there.
But such an awesome skill set and all the painstaking preparations before the assassination were so easily resolved by the target's "accidental fall"?
Night Owl didn't believe it, and Gavin didn't believe it even more.
Has it been discovered?
If that's the case, then Valentine...
It's in line with what the intelligence said.
After all, that conclusion is relatively abstract. The degree of "far exceeding ordinary operators" can be large or small, it all depends on what the person who reads the information thinks.
You want to say that the information is wrong, but that's not true.
It's true that the "extreme degree" displayed by the target is indeed a bit large, enough for the person who wrote the intelligence to add a few more adjectives.
Although Ye Xiao's personality has been reconstructed, she is still a human being with a beating heart.
She knew that what she said would determine the fate of the people below, so she gave this answer after thinking briefly.
Silence fell in the room.
Gavin watched Night Owl blink, sighed, lowered his head, and raised his hand to his forehead.
He felt a little headache.
This "no" directly killed the argument he had just thought of to deal with it.
This girl is good at everything, but she is too principled and not like a weapon of war at all.
When going on a mission, only the mission target will be killed, and no one else will be harmed. He spoke very briefly and only told the truth.
She abstains from any of the seven deadly sins and has no bad habits.
In comparison, the other three guys were much worse than her.
After all, Rheinland Life's current spiritual technology is not too sophisticated and cannot turn people into complete machines.
The experimental subjects put into use all retain human emotions to a greater or lesser extent, but become a little distorted due to the experiment.
Ye Xiao's sincerity is abnormal.
…
"what to do?"
It took a long time for Gavin to hold back three words.
There is no way, although he can still fight, but that is for ordinary people.
A mission of this difficulty requires a lot of thinking. Gavin is only a part-time thug, and his main job is researcher and guardian. In terms of fighting, it still depends on Night Owl.
"His address."
Night Owl has no habit of explaining, only making demands and executing them.
When she said this, it meant that she already had a solution.
"...Langting Hotel A3059."
It was Gavin's conjecture that Valentine would be staying at Langting. Based on what the intelligence said, he summarized several characteristics of the target as an outsider, and then arrived at this result by comparing the investigation reports.
And the reality is just as he thought.
Gavin probably guessed the girl's plan.
Sniping is Nite Owl's strong point.
But her Origin Stone skills are more suitable for close combat.
When the sharp blade was pressed against Valentine's neck, could this guy still have a chance to pretend to fall?
"The specific location is here."
After giving the room name, Gavin used his mobile phone to project the room distribution map of Langting Hotel and pointed out the location to Ye Xiao.
"How do I need to cooperate?"
Most of the time, guardians operate alongside weapons of war. Gavin was at the scene of the assassination this morning, but he blended into the crowd and couldn't see the target.
But even if he couldn't see it, he knew at the time that the operation failed.
After all, the screams of those people were dedicated to the little fresh meat idol. They were full of passion and did not look like seeing a bloody corpse at all.
"as usual."
Night Owl paused.
"protect me."
As a war weapon, she is extremely aware of her strengths and weaknesses.
On the surface, Night Owl appears to be a perfect warrior, a perfect warrior of all six realms.
And her fatal weakness lies in her mind, her soul.
"clear."
This time, Gavin answered extremely carefully.
Before coming to Siesta, he thought this was just a very simple task, but the target's unprecedentedly powerful vitality was a little tricky.
But Night Owl's blunderbuss and blade can crush everything in the enemy into mud.
She is a dedicated assassin among the four war weapons.
As a result, Valentin taught them a lesson with a dive.
Ye Xiao could only show his true strength.
This second action gave Gavin the same feeling as the previous few days, extremely stable.
But he didn't dare to take it lightly anymore.
Success is naturally good, but failure...
The consequences are not as easy to accept as sniping.
He must carry out the operation with the mentality of losing Night Owl and his life.
Live towards death.
