Chapter 398 This is a trap
Another one died, leaving only eight.
Qi Yu's death was somewhat inexplicable.
He abandoned the assassination that he was best at and chose to attack head-on, using his weakness to counter Su Xia's strength. Death was inevitable.
Moreover, when he took action, there was no one around to cooperate with him.
So where are the remaining eight people?
Did they just watch Qi Yu die?
When they just started, these ten people cooperated perfectly. Some were responsible for mental attacks, some were responsible for sneak attacks and interference, and some were responsible for forced confinement. Each of them performed his duties, and appeared from the darkness again and again to consume Su Xia's strength.
Even if Li Xiangfei died, they shouldn't have done this.
The remaining nine people can continue to cooperate.
Judging from their previous performance, even if Su Xia wanted to kill them all, it would take a lot of effort and waste a lot of time.
What Su Xia lacks most now is time, which he cannot afford to waste.
"Why don't you continue?"
Su Xia raised her hand and several blood-stained metal fragments flew out from Qi Yu's body and surrounded his body.
The rain was cold, slowly washing away the bloodstains on the fragments.
Among the remaining eight people, there is one level five creature, and the other seven are level four creatures, three of whom are responsible for mental interference.
Seeing that they did not move again, Su Xia slowly moved forward and took a step.
This step brought him closer to the tavern.
At the same time, a blue light appeared around his body, slowly forming a new shield.
More metal fragments flew around his body, layer after layer, forming a thick barrier that protected him in the center and defended him from any possible attacks.
“Pah—Pah—”
He walked in the rain, his eyes indifferent, and approached the door of the tavern step by step.
At this moment, there was silence in the pub.
The wheelchair man frowned slightly, tapped his skinny fingers on the wheelchair armrests, and whispered to himself: "Is death freedom? The contract at headquarters is wrong. We shouldn't sign a lifetime contract. People without hope cannot provide the greatest value."
Just now, Qi Yu’s death made him think of a lot.
The woman in black asked him, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with Qi Yu's death contract?"
The wheelchair man nodded slightly: "Yes."
"But this is the headquarters' rule and it cannot be changed."
“Rules are made by people, and they can be changed by people.”
"God of war, why are your words the same as what the masked man said?" The woman in black reminded in a low voice, "Watch your words. The headquarters doesn't like to hear such words."
“The headquarters doesn’t like it?” The man in the wheelchair suddenly smiled and said, “Why should they like it? I just like it.”
"Goddess, you..."
The woman in black's face changed drastically and she quickly covered his mouth.
Fortunately, there were only two of them in the room, and it was very closed, so their conversation could not be overheard by others.
"Do you want to be the next masked weirdo?" She was a little angry and scolded the man in the wheelchair in a low voice.
"No one can be the next masked man. He is him and I am me. We are different, and so are we. Anyone else." The man in the wheelchair took the woman's hand away and said slowly.
"Don't say things like that again!"
The black-clad woman Meng Qu whispered, "Li Xiangfei and Qi Yu are both dead. The remaining eight people can't stop the masked man. They will be killed one by one by him. What should we do next? Should we take action?"
She knew very well that the masked man also came from the Zero Point Tavern, was proficient in various hiding and assassination techniques, and had extremely powerful abilities.
In battle, as long as he finds a chance, his opponent will be in danger of death.
Now, the situation has slowly tilted towards Su Xia.
But, as long as she and the man in the wheelchair take action, the situation will be reversed in an instant.
Mengqu's ability can make Su Xia appear in a trance for nearly two seconds.
These two seconds are enough to decide Su Xia's life or death.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
“ Boom boom boom …”
The woman in black turned her head, frowned slightly, and stared at the door.
The wheelchair man looked calm and said softly, "It should be Frank. He is scared."
The woman in black turned her eyes and walked over to open the door.
Outside the door, as expected, it was Frank with a nervous look on his face.
Frank's face turned pale due to excessive blood loss. His left arm was still empty, with only a simple bandage.
Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he asked nervously, "Two of you have died in succession. Can the remaining people still stop the masked stranger?"
"Of course we can stop it!"
The woman in black was very confident.
But Frank was afraid. He looked into the room and continued, "Are you two going to take action? If you don't, how about letting other members of the tavern take action? I see that there are many strong people gathered in this branch."
"Don't worry about it, just do your job."
The woman in black said coldly: "Don't worry, the masked man can't kill you!"
"I...I'm relieved..."
After getting another promise, Frank took a deep breath and his heart was relieved again.
Behind him was the hall in the basement of the tavern, which was filled with many people.
The conversation between him and the woman in black just now could be heard by everyone in the hall behind.
There shouldn't be any problems with a promise that so many people know about.
"Bang!"
The door of the room is closed, isolating it from the hall.
Frank turned around and returned to his seat.
At his position, there is a simple microphone that can transmit his voice outside the tavern so that the masked monsters on the long street can hear it.
He reached out his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead and whispered to himself: "Masked Stranger, it's time for you to die. Why haven't you died yet? I'll be relieved if you die sooner."
This is the interior of the Zero Point Tavern, one of the two safest places in the entire Conch City. Apart from the Mechanical Clan base, there is no place safer than here.
In any case, as long as he doesn't go out, he is safe.
All he needs to do is continue to provoke the masked man.
Frank lowered his head and looked at his only remaining hand, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.
He finally became the chief person in charge of the local base, but before he could enjoy the pleasure that power brought, the entire base was destroyed and he himself was seriously injured. He was brought here to live like a dog.
Yes, he's like a dog!
How could he be willing to accept this without seeing Su Xia's death?
Frank's heart was filled with anger. He picked up the microphone again and sneered, "Hey, masked weirdo, it's been so long, why don't you come in and kill me? Don't you dare to come?"
He wanted to try every possible way to stimulate Su Xia, making Su Xia angry and lose her mind!
"Aren't you from the pub? Why don't you even dare to enter the pub now? Why are you walking around outside like a dog?"
"Masked man, do you hear me? I'm sitting in the tavern, waiting for you to kill me."
"hey-hey……"
“…”
His voice was transmitted to the outside at the same time, echoing in the long street filled with death.
In the hall, the other tavern members were silent, looking at him quietly, most of them had admiration on their faces.
There are really few people in this world who dare to talk to the masked man like this .
Outside, on both sides of the street.
In the houses, members of various organizations were still nervous, watching the scene on the street.
Now, Su Xia is less than thirty meters away from the tavern door. Under normal circumstances, he would only need to sprint and reach the door in the blink of an eye.
Frank's unpleasant voice was heard again in the pub.
"Masked man, are your ears pierced and deaf? I'm calling you..."
The sound of the horn can easily make people irritated, with a rustling sound of electric current mixed in.
Not far away, the main door of the tavern was wide open, like a monster, crawling quietly in the darkness, with its mouth wide open, waiting for Su Xia to go in by herself.
At this moment, the remaining eight people finally took action.
“Buzz——”
Su Xia felt his brain sink, and in an instant, he was subjected to several different mental attacks at the same time. His body shook, and he almost fell down. He even lost some control of the surrounding metal fragments.
There was a series of clanging sounds, and many fragments around fell to the ground.
At this moment, several dark shadows flashed by and took advantage of his trance to throw a large number of plastic bombs at him.
Boom!
There was a loud bang, smoke and dust rose, and debris flew everywhere.
The place where Su Xia was was immediately engulfed in smoke.
This is not over yet. Several black shadows flashed by and continuously threw plastic explosives towards the center of the explosion.
Terrifying explosions rang out one after another, deafeningly loud. Most of the streets were covered in smoke, and the ground was shaking as if an earthquake had occurred.
The houses around the street kept shaking, their structures twisted, and emitted sharp wailing sounds.
The faces of many awake members of the organization in the room changed again and again, fearing that the house they were in would collapse due to the shaking.
"What does the Zero Point Tavern want to do?"
“This town is surrounded by old buildings. If they collapse, how many people will die?”
Although the explosion only occurred on the street, the terrifying shock wave and tremor were real.
The air was gusting, and windows on both sides of the street were shattering. The tables, chairs, wardrobes, beds, and all the other objects in the room were shaking.
“Swish—”
A few more figures flashed by, and everything was not over yet.
The remaining eight people seemed to have been preparing for a long time, wanting to take advantage of this rare opportunity to kill Su Xia in one fell swoop and complete this dangerous mission.
They took the plastic explosives they got from somewhere and threw them towards the center of the explosion again.
But at this moment, four of the black shadows suddenly groaned, and a cruel burst of blood splattered from their necks.
In order to move in the dark, they didn't even turn on the psychic shield, because the shield would emit a blue glow and expose their location.
As long as you can maintain absolute secrecy and blend into the night, you don't have to worry about being attacked.
But now, four of them fell to the ground on the spot.
“Hmm…”
They stared with their eyes wide open, covering their necks, and blood gushed out of their necks in spurts, unable to be stopped at all.
Several fragments of the long sword pierced their throats, cutting the arteries and trachea in their necks.
Not only was blood oozing out, but some of it also poured into the trachea.
“Hehe…”
They were twitching, their faces were pale, and they were close to suffocation.
At that moment just now, Su Xia seemed to emerge from the void, seized the moment when the four of them appeared from the darkness, and launched an attack on them at the same time!
A successful strike was instantly fatal!
Only advanced psychic creatures who have been fighting between life and death for a long time can effectively seize this fleeting opportunity.
If they were half a second slower, these four people would have hidden in the darkness and lay dormant again.
For this opportunity, Su Xia wasted his talent of walking in another space.
At the moment when he was in a trance, he used this talent and was not affected by the exploding plastic bomb, and then he kept looking for opportunities.
"call out--"
He waved his hand casually, a cold light flashed, and four heads flew up at the same time, ending the suffering of the four people.
These four killers died without even having time to say their last words.
Su Xia controlled the iron sheets and peeled off the disguises on their faces, revealing their true faces.
These four people were indeed among the tavern members who had long been deemed [dead], with the time of death ranging from two years to five years ago.
There were several exclamations from the surrounding houses.
"Isn't that person the Black Owl Chen Xu?"
Another legendary figure, Chen Xu, codenamed "Black|Owl", was a loner who liked to be alone. He was presumed dead three years ago.
The remaining three heads were also well-known and their identities were quickly confirmed.
In the houses around the street, many people felt like they were dreaming.
"What a black|owl..."
Three legends like Li Xiangfei, Qi Yu and Chen Xu were rarely seen in the past and would cause a sensation wherever they appeared. But tonight they all died in front of them.
He died too cleanly and too simply, a way of death that was totally inconsistent with the life of a legend.
“Should a legendary figure have a legendary death?” someone whispered unconsciously.
"wrong……"
"It's not a disgrace to their name to die at the hands of a masked weirdo, right?"
They suddenly thought that the masked man was also a legend. Although he was famous for a short time, his fame was no less than the previous ones.
Now, there are only the last four left of the ten killers.
Those four were all level four creatures and could no longer stop Su Xia.
As long as Su Xia was willing, he could walk into the tavern now and calmly pour himself a glass of wine.
In fact, that’s exactly what he did.
He was seen stepping on the puddles, his expression unchanged, moving forward step by step, getting closer and closer to the door of the tavern.
The smoke on the street has dissipated with the wind, but the tense atmosphere has not diminished at all, but has become even more intense.
"The masked man is coming in!"
Everyone knew that as long as he could enter the tavern, it would be like stomping on the face of the tavern!
How could a creature that was wanted by the tavern be able to walk back into the tavern?
This is a pure slap in the face!
As long as the pub still wants to save face, it will not let him in.
But now, what power does the Conch City Tavern branch have that can stop the masked man?
"call……"
A gust of wind blew by.
At the entrance of the tavern, the ten black umbrellas tumbled in the wind, like ghosts with nowhere to go.
The tavern was still quiet, with no one else around.
"Something's wrong..."
At this moment, someone suddenly realized - what does face mean to a tavern nowadays?
As long as we can catch the masked stranger, it doesn't matter if we lose face once.
After all, if the masked man doesn't die this time, the tavern will be embarrassed more and more often in the future.
It is obviously worth exchanging one humiliation for eternal peace.
"There must be an ambush in the tavern!"
"Yeah, it's too quiet."
"Those ten people just now were just appetizers. The real killer is inside the tavern. As long as the masked weirdo goes in, he will walk into a trap."
"No wonder he walks so slowly..."
For the last thirty meters, Su Xia walked very slowly, and each step was steady.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him, watching his moving figure.
