Chapter 1398: Missing (Long chapter, please give me a monthly ticket)

The boiling lava rolled up waves of fire and flowed in all directions. At this time, bright yellow light spots slowly emerged from the gaps in the flames.

Like water droplets gathering in the air, they formed a long river of light and fell into the scimitar in Howe's hand.

As the yellow spots of light gathered, the boiling and spreading lava also disappeared rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only the steel debris melted by the flames and a part of the generated lava around.

The scorching temperature spread under the silent night sky, burning the moonlight and neon lights, making them twist like waves.

Vagina stared at the scene blankly. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but all the thousands of words in her mind seemed to become blank at this moment.

She thought she had seen enough bizarre supernatural powers and had enough understanding of this supernatural world.

But it was not until this moment that she realized that she knew nothing about this world.

She had originally thought that this kind of scene would only appear in myths or fantasy epics, but now it actually appeared before her eyes.

This molten earth, the burning fire waves, the light that shuttles across the sky, and the figure standing under the light.

The shock of all this reality is far greater than any virtual reality movie or game.

For a moment, she even felt that she and 'Pashu' might not be on the same version.

While she was still playing the extraordinary duel version, others were already playing the fantasy epic version.

While countless thoughts passed through Vagina's mind, Howe's attention was on the yellow light in the sky.

These lights are converging into the scimitar in his hand at an extremely fast speed, merging into the scimitar and transforming its structure.

This is the remaining power of the 'demon' giant.

Logically speaking, when this kind of life that has received the gift dies, its body and soul should be recovered by the great being who bestowed the gift.

But at this moment there is a small 'loophole' in this process.

The crescent-shaped scimitar in He Ao's hand was originally supposed to be a part of the horns on the bull-horned giant's head, and was transformed from the opponent's body structure.

Even the bull-horned giant can control the crescent scimitar to a certain extent.

But later He Ao engraved a control magic circle on the knife and completely controlled the knife.

However, Heo already possessed the status of an angel, and after pointing the knife at him, it underwent some kind of alienation, completely severing the "control relationship" between it and the B-level bull-horned giant.

From that time on, the knife was no longer a part of the Bull-Horned Giant's body, and the Bull-Horned Giant could no longer control it.

So far, it is just a normal weapon snatch. The problem is that although the knife no longer belongs to the Bull-Horned Giant, it is also a part of the Bull-Horned Giant and has been used by the Bull-Horned Giant for a long time. It has a strong mystical connection with the Bull-Horned Giant.

Coupled with Howe's own high status in the sense of mysticism, the knife controlled by Howe also has a certain degree of "control" over the remaining power of the bull-horned giant.

And compared to the great being who bestowed the gift, Howe was so close.

The attraction of mysticism that spans countless time and space will seriously weaken even the highest status.

The attraction of mysticism, which is so close at hand, has hardly been weakened.

Although mystical distance cannot be completely equated with space-time distance, according to Howe's observations, it can be roughly approximated.

The final result of all this was that most of the power of the bull-horned giant that should have gone to the "sacrifice" flowed into this knife.

In the past, He Ao always borrowed the status of extraordinary objects to display high-level power, and had never encountered such a scene.

This was the first time he had received some kind of extra 'benefits' due to his high status.

Although this situation is difficult to replicate, after all, not all recipients of the gift happen to like to use part of their body to make weapons, and this part also has a strong mystical connection with themselves.

It seems that there is still a slight gap between the status gained with the help of external forces and the status obtained by oneself.

Letting the yellow light flow into the blade, He Ao raised his hand.

call out--

Along with the sound of hot air shaking, a huge sniper rifle fell from the sky and landed in Howe's hands.

This is the sniper rifle that the scarred man placed in front of the statue.

When He Ao used the dagger to pierce through an energy gathering point of the bull-horned giant, the spiritual consciousness covering the dagger was consumed, causing the dagger to break.

But the spiritual consciousness on the dagger was not completely consumed. Some of it was still attached to the fragments of the blade. When He Ao was fighting fiercely with the bull-horned giant, the spiritual consciousness took the opportunity to run to the sniper rifle and transferred the spiritual consciousness into the sniper rifle.

This allowed He Ao to move the sniper rifle to prevent it from being melted by the lava when the bull-horned giant collapsed and lava covered the ground.

This is also the reason why He Ao wanted to "design" the dagger to break into pieces. The tiny fragments would be less likely to be discovered in a fierce battle, and the splashing of the dagger when it broke could also conceal the whereabouts of the fragments.

Of course, He Ao can actually directly transfer his spiritual consciousness into the sniper rifle remotely, which is very direct and convenient. The only drawback is that doing so consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness, far more than indirectly transferring it.

Using this indirect entry method, the final effect is the same, and it does not affect the rhythm of the battle, but it saves a lot of spiritual awareness.

Holding the heavy Gauss sniper rifle in one hand, He Ao inserted the scimitar into the hot rock under his feet, and stretched out his other hand to pull the magazine.

This sniper rifle was produced by Ives Space Systems. Although it seems to have undergone some extraordinary modifications, its basic structure has not changed much.

This sniper rifle's magazine can only hold two bullets, but it allows one bullet to be inserted into the chamber, achieving the effect of actually loading three bullets.

At the same time, this sniper rifle requires a short period of time to recharge between two shots, which basically coincides with He Ao's previous speculation.

At this moment, there was an ordinary high-explosive sniper bullet in the magazine of the sniper rifle. He Ao opened the chamber and removed the bullet stuck in the chamber, which was also a high-explosive sniper bullet.

The scarred man did not lie, that was indeed his last extraordinary bullet.

If he still had a few bullets of that power, even if He Ao could modify his "choice" through Yi Si in the end, he might not be able to defeat the opponent so easily.

However, as a sniper, this guy is so powerful. It seems that the assassination organization has a final plan of "violent" assassination.

Recovering his thoughts, He Ao put the bullets and magazine back into the sniper rifle.

He looked up at Vagina, who was still a little dazed. The remaining lava was about to reach Vagina's feet.

"Cough," He Ao covered his mouth and coughed lightly, saying hoarsely, "Watch your step."

"Ah?" At this time, Vagina came back to her senses. She glanced at the lava under her feet, and quickly took a few steps back to keep some distance.

He Ao took a look at the blood that almost covered his palm, held the sniper rifle in one hand, took a step forward, and landed in front of Vagina.

"What was that just now?" At this time, Vagina, who had come to her senses, glanced at the lava on the ground, looked at He Ao, and asked carefully.

She had just been chasing in this direction when she saw the giant with huge horns, and then she was shining along this road.

"Assassin." He Ao said casually, then handed the sniper rifle in his hand to Vagina.

"This is the 'explosion' that attacked us?" Vagina reached out to take the sniper rifle, feeling the heavy weight of the rifle, and looked down at the gun. "Is it the bullet fired from this gun? Used to 'kill' us?"

Although she was somewhat puzzled as to what kind of bullet could be so powerful, when she looked at the face on the ground and He Ao who was almost unharmed, she felt that her thoughts were a little redundant.

The extraordinary world is too complicated. She now feels that she will not be surprised no matter what happens.

"It's also the one that killed the president." He Ao replied casually.

"Ah?!!!!" Vagina tightened her grip on the sniper rifle and looked at He Ao with wide eyes, "In other words."

"Yes, this guy is the assassin who assassinated the president," Howe nodded slightly, and then continued in front of Victorina's shocked eyes that she didn't know what expression to use, "But unfortunately, he is just a 'knife' and knows nothing about the assassination."

This scarred man, like the people who came to silence 'Pashu' that Howe met at the beginning, just did things and had no idea why they did it, nor did he want to know.

When he first communicated with the scarred man, the scarred man was not aware of his mind-reading ability, so he also obtained a lot of information about the "assassination".

First of all, the scarred man entered the red building directly that day. From his observation, it seemed that the people guarding the building were arranged by the municipal government.

Even though He Ao had never worked in presidential security protection, he knew that this level of protection was a bit "crude".

This result means that either the city government has indeed neglected its duties and does not care about the life and death of the president, or some "connections" in the city government have been opened.

The old president was born in the city of Denuo. From Pashu's memory, he had interactions with all kinds of people in Denuo.

In theory, the Deno City Government should not be indifferent to him.

In addition to the intelligence at the time of the assassination, He Ao also obtained some information about today's "assassination".

The scarred man also has a communicator exactly the same as Mori and the others.

The 'instructions' the scarred man received were, 'Sniper kill Pash and Vegina. If the sniper kill fails, use other methods to kill the two.'

That's why he deliberately led He Ao here.

There is nothing special about this instruction itself, but the other information accompanying this instruction is very "interesting".

"Some kind of 'death warrior'?" Vigina recovered from her shock and glanced at the lava on the ground. "Yes, when doing something like this, it's impossible to let the assassin know everything. If he confesses, it will be all over."

She looked up at He Ao and said, "Doesn't that mean our clue is broken?"

"It's not broken," He Ao shook his head. He glanced at Vigina and said slowly, "Although he knows nothing, the people who control these things know everything. Even if this kind of thing is kept secret, there won't be too many layers in the middle."

"You mean," Vigina responded, "the person who gave him the order is very likely the real 'mastermind' of this assassination? Could the 'superior' of the security minister also be this person? But,"

Vigina frowned slightly and looked at the lava on the ground. "We don't have any clues about this upline. This guy himself doesn't even know who his upline is."

"Actually, there is." He Ao looked at her and smiled, "Do you remember where he attacked us?"

"CEO's office?" Vagina was slightly stunned. "What's the question——"

Then she reacted quickly, staring at He Ao with wide eyes, "Only a very small number of Kvothe Group executives know that the way to the vault is to the CEO's office on the top floor."

At this point, she paused and said, "No, it is possible that the security chief told the messenger. The security chief also knows where the vault is and how to get there."

"It only took that security minister two years to become the security chief of the Kwaterdeno branch, and he has the power to enter and exit the vault." He Ao on the side said slowly.

When a person walks by, no matter how well he covers up, there will always be traces left in the details.

When the scarred man received the order to attack, Howe and Vigina had just arrived at the Kvothe Building.

When the scarred man was asked to target the CEO's office, He Ao and his team had just entered the vault.

The mastermind behind the scenes clearly grasped the movements of Howe and Vicina, and knew exactly where they were and where they were at what time.

Of course, this may be possible by obtaining information through some indirect intelligence and then making predictions. He Ao himself often does this.

However, combined with the experience of the Minister of Security and the "smoothness" of the scarred man's assassination of the president, we can basically draw a conclusion:
The organization that assassinated the president has a "member" with a very high status in Denuo City. The existence of this "member" greatly reduces the difficulty of the assassination.

This 'member' could be in the city government or in the Kvotte Group, but Howe prefers to be in the Kvotte Group.

And Vigina seemed to have come to the same conclusion as He Ao. After hearing what He Ao said, she thought for a moment and said, "The person who is on the line is most likely among the executives of the Kvote Group, or even among the people we met at that time."

"Not among those people." Howe shook his head.

The executives who followed the silver-haired old man at that time were basically in the same faction as the silver-haired old man. They had no real power in Denuo City, so they were sent to work overtime in the building.

"Is that so?" Vagina was slightly stunned. Although she had not figured out the key yet, she knew that He Ao must have a reason for saying that.

She nodded, clapped her hands, and said quickly, "I will immediately send someone to pick up those executives who are not here tonight, as well as the CEO of the Kvothe Group. Our "attack" can be used as an excuse to find them."

There was a look of joy on her face; it was obvious that there had been a major breakthrough in this case.

He Ao covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then looked at the crescent-shaped scimitar stuck in the stone and fell into a brief period of thought.

hum-

At this time, the intercom on Vagina's waist rang. She picked up the intercom and connected the call. "I am Vagina."

"Director, the executives of the Kvothe Group said," an anxious voice came from the other end of the line, "their CEO has lost contact."

"What?" Vagina was stunned.
