Chapter 201: Do you dare to break the rules?
Masked Stranger!
The moment these four words appeared, the surrounding fog seemed to become a little colder.
He is undoubtedly a super killer. Although he has only appeared for a short time, his various achievements have made him famous.
Whether it is a draw with Yu Tuo or destroying the mercenary town , these are not things that ordinary killers can do.
"Fuck, that idiot Xue Lin, couldn't he think of the masked man?"
"It can make all guns misfire. In addition to mechanical mute, it can also control metal!"
The surviving killers felt their scalps tingling at the thought of having to hunt down a legendary creature like the Masked Monster.
They were all cheated by Xue Lin, badly, and they may have to pay with their lives.
"Masked Boss, we have all been deceived. We don't mean to target you."
"We are all from the pub. We will see each other sooner or later. Why should we kill each other? Why don't we go to the pub and have a drink?"
They all held on to a glimmer of hope and were unwilling to confront Su Xia.
Some people begged for mercy, while others retreated quietly and tried to leave from the back of the hotel.
But Su Xia didn't say a word, just answered with the bloodthirsty sword.
"call out--"
The sword flashed, and another person fell to the ground.
This time it wasn't a beheading, but a piercing of the heart.
The man’s analysis before was correct. Su Xia really liked beheading because it was the most convenient, labor-saving and efficient way.
The heart is equally fatal, but some psychic creatures are extremely tenacious. Even if their hearts are pierced, they can still fight back for several seconds or even more than ten seconds.
Hearing the sound of their companions falling to the ground, the remaining killers understood their own fate.
escape!
Escape separately!
They all understood that if they stood up to resist they would surely die, but if they fled separately they would have hope.
As experienced killers, escaping has almost become their instinct. It is a compulsory course, and if they fail to do well, they will die.
These killers each showed their unique skills. Some fled to the hotel, some threw smoke bombs, and some threw out portable projectors, projecting their own projections in the distance to attract Su Xia.
They were all fast, but they were not as fast as Su Xia.
Su Xia is the fastest person here.
Every few seconds, there would be the sound of someone falling to the ground.
Even the strongest level three creature among them is as weak as an ant when facing Su Xia now.
In a short while, all the killers around the hotel were dead. Their life of killing came to an end without even a resurrection match.
"What's going on here?"
The two late rookies finally arrived, and as soon as they arrived at the scene, they smelled a strong smell of blood.
A novice has very poor vigilance. If it were an old hand, he would turn around and run away the moment he smelled the blood without making any sound.
But the two of them, out of curiosity, slowly approached the motel, intending to find out what was going on.
But before they could get closer, a flash of sword light appeared and shattered their hearts.
"Well……"
The two men lowered their heads with difficulty, looked at their bloody chests, and then fell to the ground together.
Until they died, they didn't know who the enemy was.
“Buzz—buzz—”
One of them's cell phone suddenly vibrated, there was a call.
This person is indeed a complete rookie who didn't even turn off the vibration on his phone. Once he encounters a mission that requires him to infiltrate a team, he will definitely become the engine of the team's destruction.
Su Xia held the bloody sword in his hand, bent down and fumbled for the cell phone from the corpse, and saw the name on the caller ID.
【Xue Lin】
This guy should be here to inquire about the progress of the mission.
Su Xia didn't answer the call. He dropped his phone, put away his sword, and ran to the Midnight Tavern at full speed.
The Midnight Tavern in Yuling City is located in the south of the city, hidden in a dilapidated old town area. The sign is tattered and from the outside it looks like an ordinary tavern.
The first floor of the pub is quite lively, with countless drinkers coming in and out. Most of them are ordinary people who come here just to have a drink and chat.
The underground floor was much quieter, and the killers were quietly choosing their missions.
Xue Lin was sitting on a dark red soft leather sofa in a suit and tie, his face gloomy, holding a mobile phone. A cold female voice came from the Bluetooth headset.
"The number you dialed is currently unanswered, please call again later..."
This was the sixth call he had made, and he got exactly the same response.
Even if those killers were very cautious and turned off the sound and vibration on their phones, it's impossible that none of them would check their phones, right?
The road to Coral City is very boring, with endless wilderness along the way. Any normal person would take out their phone to play.
It was obvious that something had gone wrong.
"Who is targeting me?"
Xue Lin felt upset. He picked up the red wine in front of him, drank it all, and rubbed his forehead.
He was not afraid of a small killer, he was just worried about the power behind the killer.
There are many enemies in this city.
If it weren't for his identity as Xue Lie's apprentice, those old guys would have eaten him up long ago.
His master Xue Lie was a man of heroic character, not particular about details, and had a laissez-faire attitude towards his disciples. He didn't care at all about what they were doing, which gave him an opportunity.
In comparison, Yi Yi is a much more competent master. At least he knows that his apprentice Yi Mo is secretly engaging in activities against the mechanical race.
Xue Lin checked the surveillance footage of his seven properties and everything seemed normal.
"If they were targeting me, they would have sneaked into my residence at the first opportunity, but no traps have been triggered so far."
After watching the surveillance video, he opened his address book and saw several other executives calling.
But without exception, no one answered the call.
"The number you dialed is temporarily..."
Are they all dead?
Xue Lin's heart sank, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger.
He didn't even know who his opponent was, but the feathers on his wings were cut off one by one by his opponent.
It's only a little after eight in the morning, and the opponent's speed of action is so fast that it doesn't seem like something one person can do. Could it be that the old forces in the city finally couldn't help but take action against him?
He is very passive and hates this passive feeling.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, as if he had been bitten by a poisonous beast.
"hiss……"
Xue Lin's face changed. This was his psychic talent, a crisis warning.
This talent is a weakened version of the Death Prophecy. It can warn against murderous intent. It is not unique and can be automatically triggered three times a day.
Xue Lin knew what this meant——
The killer is here!
"Who is it?"
This is the basement floor of the Zero Point Tavern, and only official members of the tavern can come in.
Xue Lin looked around and found that there were no new members in the hall, but the elevator in front was slowly descending.
He held the phone tightly, suppressed all emotions in his heart, and stared at the elevator entrance carefully.
"bite--"
The elevator door slowly opened, and a cold-blooded killer in a black coat and a black mask walked out of the elevator, walked to the bar and ordered a drink.
It’s him, it’s him!
Xue Lin's heart was pounding. It was the killer from Coral City!
How could it be so fast? Did it fly here?
His dozen or so partners and the killers he hired at a high price were all killed by this man?
At this moment, the killer holding the wine glass suddenly turned his head and gave him a cold look. This look made Xue Lin feel cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He suddenly remembered a code name.
Masked Stranger!
Appeared in Coral City, powerful, a member of the tavern, able to disable all mechanical creations, and can fly directly over...
Only one person can meet these characteristics.
"That's impossible. I have no grudge against him, have never met him, and we have no common interests."
Xue Lin pressed his eyebrows hard and told himself to stay calm.
But when he thought of the other party's strength and those horrific deeds, he couldn't calm down at all.
"Is it true, as the legend says, that the masked man does things without any rules or reasons, just based on his personal preferences?"
Xue Lin took a few deep breaths, then grabbed the wine bottle in front of him and took a few gulps, as if he wanted to drink away all the uneasiness, doubt, irritability, and anxiety.
As Xue Lie's apprentice, he was indeed not afraid of a small killer, but the masked man could no longer be described as "small".
He is a behemoth!
Fortunately, this is inside the tavern and we can't take any action.
The tavern is Xue Lin’s biggest background, and no one can ignore it.
Su Xia naturally saw Xue Lin, but she didn't go to look for him. She leaned against the bar, holding her glass and asked, "Is Xue Lie not here?"
Behind the bar, the waiter patiently replied, "The owner is out on a mission and won't be back until around ten."
"Okay, thanks."
Su Xia looked at the time. It was almost nine o'clock in the morning. It would be okay to wait for an hour.
He just happened to be offline and was going to have breakfast.
Don't let your stomach suffer.
But at this moment, Xue Lin suddenly stood up from the sofa, holding a wine glass, and walked step by step from the hall to the bar, apparently wanting to negotiate with Su Xia.
He sat on another stool next to Su Xia, not looking at Su Xia, staring at the reflection in the glass in his hand, and whispered: "Masked Boss, I apologize for what I said before. I shouldn't have threatened you."
He seemed to be here to surrender, and his attitude was quite sincere.
Su Xia was not surprised that he could guess her identity. After all, it was so easy to guess.
Xue Lin continued, "Mask Boss, we shouldn't have had any conflicts in the past, right? This is the first time we meet officially."
Su Xia shook her head: "You are wrong."
"Isn't this our first official meeting?"
"No, I mean your last sentence." Su Xia said, "There is a grudge between us."
"What is it?"
"I have a friend who..."
Su Xia spoke calmly, gently playing with the wine glass in her hand, and said: "My friend's family almost lost their lives because of the sugar water you sold."
"this……"
Xue Lin was stunned. Just for this reason?
A friend’s family?
What era is this? Are we still using the excuse of “I have a friend”?
This masked weirdo was so determined to get rid of him that he didn't even bother to come up with a normal excuse!
If it was another assassin, Xue Lin might have dropped his glass and turned away, but this was a masked stranger after all, so he could only endure it and asked, "Masked Boss, you've killed so many people, you should feel relieved, right?"
"Aren't you still alive?"
"you……"
Xue Lin's face changed slightly, and the hand holding the wine glass unconsciously used a little more force.
He gritted his teeth and reminded in a low voice: "Masked Boss, this is a tavern. There are rules in the tavern. You can't kill me."
