Chapter 319: Bruer's Assassination
Only if there is a group of people among these people who take almost the same actions in a short period of time, Flora can be sure that they are the suspects .
After all, a group of people from outside Dongyang Island who had no jobs, for some reason, happened to take a one-day round trip between Furnace Island and Dongyang Island on the day when Flora released the false news, and these people took the same actions later. Even a fool would find such behavior suspicious.
And just a few days ago, this phenomenon occurred. A group of people left Dongyang Island and went to Feng Island through the Black Gate.
Flora knew that Su Ming was now in the Endless Caverns, and that Maple Island was exactly the airship departure point closest to the Endless Caverns.
That's not a coincidence.
"I suspect they have gone to find Su Ming now," said Flora.
Sylvie stared at Flora for a while, then took out her cell phone and made a call.
…
In the Endless Cavern, in Guild No. 3, Su Ming was meeting with several psychics who were about to become his teammates.
There were six teammates in total, three young boys, two burly middle-aged men and one middle-aged woman.
"Are you the one who is willing to pay 20 million to have someone accompany you to the next 10,000 meters?" The burly man looked Su Ming up and down and sat down across from him at the table.
Su Ming nodded and said, "What are your names?"
"My name is Sendar, he is my brother Felix, and these three young people are Meng Huili, Zhao Qingsui, and Jiang Yizhou... As for the last one," the man looked at the woman beside him and paused, "her name is Yang Ying."
"My name is Su Ming, nice to meet you."
"Don't be too happy too soon. We haven't decided whether to cooperate with you." Yang Ying said coldly, "Let's confirm one thing first. Is your ability really A-level? Have you really killed an A-level monster?"
"real."
"I heard...you went down ten thousand meters this time to find the black lizard?" Sendal looked at Su Ming warily.
Su Ming nodded and admitted: "I want to collect information about it."
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. No one who went to look for it has returned so far. All the information about it was obtained from the remains of the dead. The lizard is more cunning than humans and very powerful. It is not something that people like you can deal with."
"So, your answer is no?" Su Ming raised his eyebrows.
He could see that these people did not want to take the risk of helping him find the black lizard, but they really wanted the reward he paid.
"No, we're just trying to persuade you not to go after that black lizard. What on earth do you want to do with it? You don't look like you need money."
"Are you trying to get my information?"
"No, I didn't mean that. I was just asking casually. If you don't want to say it, forget it." Sendar waved his hand and turned away.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to go down with him to find the black lizard, Su Ming gave in and said, "As long as you go down 10,000 meters with me, we can separate and act separately after reaching the depth. After a certain period of time, we will meet at the original location and come up together. Then I will give you the remaining money. How about it?"
After hearing this, several people's eyes lit up. This was a business that was sure to make money, and they didn't even have to put in any effort. I really didn't know what this kid was trying to achieve by doing this. Did he have so much money but no place to spend it?
"Are you willing?" Su Ming asked again.
"Okay! It's settled. We'll go down and call you when the time comes." Sendar slammed the table and said, "By the way, what if you die down there when you act alone?"
"Of course I won't pay you. Don't treat me like a fool. If I did n't look for you. You taking me with you is just a side job. It's not a big deal. If other teams knew about this mission where you can earn 20 million just by taking someone with you, do you think they would agree?"
"No, no, no! That's not what I meant. What I meant was that it's easy for you to get into danger if you act alone. The 10,000-meter underground cave is not as simple as you think. I hope you can think it over carefully and make a decision carefully."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Just take the deposit and take me with you." Su Ming replied casually.
His gaze passed through the crowd and fell on a public chair in the distance, where a middle-aged man with brown curly hair sat. The middle-aged man had been looking over here since a while ago. Su Ming recognized him. He was the person Liu Lingshan had been looking for, a senior alliance official named Brewer.
How come he is here?
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to know his identity.
…
Bruel sat on the public lounge chair of Guild No. 3, secretly looking at Su Ming who was chatting with several psychics next to him. It seemed that the other party wanted to team up with these psychics.
At this moment, Bruel has entered a state where his sense of existence has disappeared, so his surveillance of Su Ming is completely open and will not be discovered.
But... for some reason, he felt that the other party seemed to look at him just now, and that look seemed to be looking at him. Was this just a coincidence?
Bruer took out the dagger in his hand, stood up, and walked towards Su Ming openly. While walking, he briefly entered a state of non-existence that interfered with cause and effect. He felt as if his skin was torn apart, and waves of piercing pain came from the surface, as if someone was sprinkling salt on his wound, the kind of coarse salt, and rubbing it constantly.
This is a special state that interferes with cause and effect. Only those at the admiral level of the Mystical Eye can enter this state. When entering this state, the body will suffer great pain. This is the price that must be paid to obtain this kind of heaven-defying divine power.
After entering this state, the user who activates the ability will temporarily separate himself from the cause and effect of the whole world, so that anything he does will be ignored and normalized.
Although this causal effect cannot be maintained permanently, and the longer it is maintained, the more mental energy is consumed, but even a brief causal interference is enough to do things that many S-level psychics cannot do. For example, he can approach the opponent at will like he is doing now, and then stab the opponent's heart with a knife to kill him!
After Bruel learned the information about Su Ming from Wu Lin, his first thought was to kill Su Ming. As long as Su Ming was not a mutant like Liu Lingshan who was completely immune to sneak attacks even when he was caught off guard, he could easily kill Su Ming.
As long as Su Ming is killed, when he enters the unstable area, Liu Lingshan will not be able to chase him and can only ask for external help.
During this period of time, the Mysterious Eye could send someone to pick him up and arrange a new life for him to start over.
According to Bruel's reasoning, the first place anyone who first arrived at the Endless Cave would come into contact with would definitely be a guild, so he visited all the guilds in the past few days, and as a result, he really met Su Ming here. What was even more surprising was that Liu Lingshan was not with Su Ming!
This is the perfect situation. Now he only needs to walk to Su Ming, stab the dagger in his hand into Su Ming's eye socket, then into his temple, turn it around a few times, and then turn around and leave. No one in this guild will notice the abnormality of Su Ming's death. They will ignore this abnormal phenomenon for a while, and then they will discover that such a horrific murder has happened around them.
Bruer endured the pain and walked towards Su Ming. Su Ming had already seen him , but he was still chatting with Sendar opposite him calmly.
It was obvious that Bruel had activated the special abilities that all members of the Mystic Eye possessed, otherwise it would be impossible for him to walk towards this side with a dagger in his hand and no one would even look at him.
Su Ming waited for the other party to walk to the table, watched the dagger stabbing towards his eyes, then turned his head to avoid it, grabbed the other party's wrist, and pulled it, using a bit of cleverness to pull Bruel directly onto the table. The coffee and snacks on the table were knocked over and crushed, while Sendal and the other team members looked as usual, as if nothing had happened.
And they were not surprised by Su Ming's sudden counterattack. Sendar continued to introduce the effects of other people's superpowers and educate Su Ming about the common monsters in the Endless Cave. Even though the spilled coffee had splashed all over his face, he was completely unaware.
Su Ming frowned and looked at Bruer. He saw a look of horror on Bruer's face. He stared at him in shock, as if he had seen a ghost!
"How is this possible! How can you see me!" Bruer was speechless.
This guy's ability is not only to make others invisible, but also to make the incidents he caused be ignored and normalized by others. The effect is exactly the same as Xia Xiaoyu's!
"Ah! Could it be... Could it be that you are also a member of the Mysterious Eye!" Bruer stared at Su Ming with wide eyes, and the fear on his face quickly turned into ecstasy.
It was simple for him to come up with this idea, because except for the members of the Mystic Eye who could see him with their power of insight, it was absolutely impossible for other ordinary people to see him.
This unknown special ability has been confirmed to be effective for everyone after careful and rigorous testing, and its effect will not be diminished due to the abnormality of the other party. This is why Bruel was able to escape from the heavily guarded Alliance prison. The unknown power played an indispensable role in his ability to escape from Liu Lingshan's pursuit for so long.
So when Su Ming saw him, the first thought that came to Bruer's mind was that Su Ming was one of his own.
"Who is the man with the mysterious eyes?"
Su Ming punched Bruel's eye socket, giving him a panda eye. Bruel was stunned, the ecstasy in his eyes quickly disappeared, and the expression on his face changed several times in a short period of time, which was extremely exciting. He was confused at first, then afraid, and then suspicious.
At this time, Bruel was certain that Su Ming could not be a member of the Mysterious Eye. If he was, there was no reason for him to treat him like this. Companions who shared power could not betray or harm each other. This was a contract they must make when they shared power, and no one could violate it.
Well, excluding this possibility, there is only one answer left - this Su Ming is not human at all! He is weird!
