Chapter 28 Assassination
Although the Holy See had already made concessions to Chu Shou's suspicious behavior and knocked on the door to inform him outside the door, the guy's room had been slow to move, as if the owner of the room had already fled for fear of guilt, which made people even more suspicious.
Fortunately, Fei Xue was monitoring the situation of Chu Shou’s room and did not miss such important information.
When the last ray of light from the sun was swallowed by the mountains, the little tentacle monster finally turned into a human form under Fei Xue's urging and appeared in the room through the magic circle.
He opened the door slowly, and Chu Shou faced a group of nervous and alert Holy See guards.
"Chu Shou!" Seeing the master coming out of the room, the responsible guard finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had actually issued an order at this time and was about to break in.
"When is it now?" The owner of the room obviously did not notice the atmosphere at the scene, and asked the guards relaxed and lazy.
"At the time of prayer."
This time is equivalent to seven or eight o'clock on the earth's dusk. In another world, people would pray at this time, send away the sun and one day away, so it is also called "the time of prayer". However, now the religion of the other world has undergone reforms, and many rituals have been simplified, and this prayer has also been simplified or cancelled. Except for the devout believers, almost no one obeys it.
"Oh." He agreed casually, and Chu Shou yawned, "The sun is setting, you can go to bed now."
"Wait, wait, Mr. Chu Shou!" The chief guard almost cursed in his heart. How could this guy sleep so much? From the morning to the present, the sun is about to set, and he actually said "You can go to bed"! When did he want to sleep!
"What's wrong? Enough sleep helps beauty. Haven't you heard of it?" Chu Shougang was about to turn around and asked him in a confused look when he heard the Chief Guard's words.
"There are many murders within the Holy See. Please assist us in our investigation." The Chief Guard used a tactful tone as much as possible to ensure that Chu Shou would not mind.
After all, Chu Shou was just suspicious and had not yet been confirmed as the murderer. Moreover, his identity was very special and a new star that the light forces must win over.
"Okay, okay." Chu Shou shrugged. Although he didn't seem to be very happy, he couldn't resist.
The formation of Chu Shou's "escort" was very awkward, both like an escort and some escort elements. The masters in the team were guarding Chu Shou, but they were not guarding the surroundings, but staring at Chu Shou.
The center of the Holy See is called the Palace of Light. When the Puppet King organized the Dark Hall, it also gave such a name opposite to it. The Palace of Light is the Government Affairs Center of the Holy See, and is a distance from the VIP Hotel where the Chu Detention Center lives.
Perhaps because of habit, the Chief Guard would rather believe that the Holy See is safe. Even if a murderer appears, he is just a poor guy who specializes in killing small people.
Compared to the murderer, the commander of the guard focused on Chu Shou, and this unfathomable young man was the one who needed to be prepared for the most.
The weather is really dull. The guards looked up at the sky. At this time, they saw dark clouds. It seemed that it was about to rain, but it was good. After all, the weather has been abnormally hot recently, and the rain will be cooler.
After about thirty minutes of the journey, the sun finally sank into the mountains, and the last trace of light was also swallowed up by the darkness. The guards began to light torches for lighting.
"Wait!" Suddenly, a guard raised his hand.
This is one of the elite guards arranged by the Chief Guard near Chu Shou, and his hearing is very good.
"What's wrong?"
"There is movement underground!"
Before the guards could react, countless earthworms suddenly rushed out of the ground... No, it should be said that tentacles like earthworms were like tentacles.
The first instinct of the guard was a critical worm. However, in the flash, he saw clearly the appearance of the incoming object. Unlike the critical worm, this insect was rougher and had a strong mud smell on its body. It seemed that this animal was more adaptable to life underground.
The commander of the guards and the guards quickly reacted and raised their weapons to slash at the earthworm tentacles that were raiding.
"You..." Chu Shou looked at the guards as if he was an idiot, then immediately held his breath and activated the miracle at the same time, using the effect of the time seal.
However, Chu Shou could not be the master here, and the soldiers quickly eliminated the monsters of unknown origin.
But the guard captain felt that the enemy was too weak at the same time, and this was definitely not what the sneak attacker should be.
A sweet smell surged from the lungs to the throat, and the guards realized that they had fallen into the trap.
"Should your breath and prepare for the antidote!" With the command of the guard, the guards quickly took out the antidote from their waists and took it in time to relieve the poisoning state...
The above is the situation in the eyes of the chief guards, and in Chu Shou's eyes, the group of guards got rid of standing and laughing foolishly, without moving.
It turns out that those earthworm tentacles are not the main attack force, they are just bait. Their blood contains highly toxic nerves, which will evaporate once they encounter air. They can effectively attack the enemy's nerves through their sense of smell, causing the enemy to quickly fall into a strong illusion and become unable to move.
Generally, when warriors who have been in actual combat encounter this situation, their first idea is to escape as soon as possible and get rid of the enemy. Because they do not understand the enemy's information at all, they can easily fall into the enemy's trap and fight head-on only if they have no choice.
Chu Shou touched his hair and sighed that the guards inside the Holy See were less careful because they performed their work in a highly secure place, and thought about their next actions.
Suddenly, a huge black earthworm tentacle emerged from the ground, and grey gas was sprayed towards Chu Shou.
"You are farting!" Chu Shou would not let this gas of unknown origin hit him. He exerted force under his feet, and at the same time used the air cannon to accelerate and quickly avoid the enemy's attack.
"Huh?" With a slight sound, an assassin in black appeared in front of Chu Shou.
There was only one assassin. He used magic to cover his face. When the enemy looked around, even if he saw his appearance, he could not remember his appearance.
However... Chu Shou's magic is immune. This is simply to give faces to tell Chu Shou that I am a black hand, even if it is not, I am a clue.
Despite this, Chu Shou remained calm and set off a defensive posture.
The opponent didn't speak, and directly attacked and launched an attack.
"Magic master plays combat skills? Fighting mage?" Chu Shou couldn't see the other party's magic, but just felt that this guy was a little fast, and probably guessed the way this guy fights.
If the enemy knew that Chu Shou looked at him like this, he would definitely be shocked because his combat skills and magic just now divided his figure. If he was a normal person, he would probably see countless black shadows attacking him, but he could not find the true body of the attacker.
"Tenshijie, ordinary punch." Chu Shou had no expression on his face. When the other party thought he had succeeded, he directly punched the enemy in the face without hesitation and knocked him away.
Chu Shou did not use all his strength to this punch, otherwise it would be boring.
"Martial arts and magic, without magic, any combat skills are useless. It is equivalent to a magician fighting hand-to-hand combat, just a little stronger than an ordinary person." Chu Shou clenched his nose and did not say this idea, but looked at the magic master who had no idea what was wrong with him with a very sympathetic look. (To be continued.)
