"Queen"
The golden light of Kun En's seal coated Charlotte with a faint golden light, and then the impact and metal fragments brought by the explosion were all blocked by the golden barrier, and Charlotte was swept away by the shock wave brought by the explosion. It flew out and rolled a few times on the ground.
Standing up and punching the street, the ground was dented and cracked. Charlotte stood up from the ground with a cold face.
Chapter 31 The perfect curtain call
After three consecutive premeditated trigger-type force field restraint bombs, the killer who seemed to have disappeared never set another trap.
Of course, he might not be able to arrange it either. After all, starting from Fernand’s office, going to the ground outside the office window, and finally the corner of the police station wall, he accurately predicted the arrangement of bombs at Charlotte’s foothold three times in a row. horrible.
At least Charlotte had never heard of it, and someone could predict his trajectory without meeting him.
It was almost unheard of, and it made Charlotte feel like she was being used as a marionette.
But fortunately, the line in that person's hand is not long enough. Outside the wall where the last bomb is located is an empty street with no cover, or he thinks that three consecutive hidden bombs are enough to solve Charlotte. All in all, be vigilant next time Charlotte did not encounter bomb attacks again.
But no matter what, this turmoil also involved him.
There were three explosions in the police station, and the chief of the police station died. In addition, Fernan had been to the estate of the Count of Monte Cristo before his death. He was naturally suspected of being a part of the suspicion, which made Charlotte very annoyed.
It's natural to be annoyed that someone is trying to harm you, and what's even more annoying is that you took it for granted, so Edmond handed over the wooden box containing the life potion extracted with human life to Fernan, He thought he could use this opportunity to fish out the hidden guy, but he didn't expect to be tricked by someone, and almost capsized in the gutter.
If it wasn't for his quick reaction, the power of the bombs that exploded three times would be enough to seriously injure him.
"Experience is something like that, it really doesn't mean that you have it!"
Knowing that she was at fault, Charlotte remained extremely vigilant on the way back, and no longer chose the cool and convenient rooftop parkour, but chose to shuttle through the streets and alleys and run back to the manor with her feet.
Under the expertise of lightweight movement (lightness work), Charlotte can be said to be walking like flying, running in the night city at a speed not inferior to that of a horse.Of course, it was inevitable to encounter some gangsters on the way, but Charlotte, who was angry, was not polite, and directly beat all the gangsters who dared to block the way to the ground.
Even if they didn't take out the cane that can transform into a whip and sword, these gangsters can't stand it just by relying on their fists and kicks.Even though some of them had guns in their hands, they obviously couldn't aim at Charlotte.
As long as anyone who was beaten to the end on the way back, Charlotte would conveniently rob them of all their finances and use it as the mental damage fee for tonight.
Not long after, the gate of the Count of Monte Cristo's estate came into view, and Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This night, which is not peaceful at all, is destined to make more noise after dawn, and now Charlotte no longer wants to fish, after all, there is no bait, and Charlotte has completely dispelled this unrealistic thought.
Thinking back, if someone was able to secretly conceal these news, then it must be the person in power in this city. How can the power of that person fight against the entire city?
"Anyway, the outsourcing tasks have been completed, so I'll report the troublesome things that follow."
Sighing, just as Charlotte was about to turn over the gate of the manor, suddenly a chill came down her back, and a deep chill filled her heart.
He turned around and looked behind him, a dazzling flame bloomed in the darkness and came into his eyes.
------------Dividing line------------
Walking up the stairs with light steps, until the end, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the door of the roof balcony. Then, under the night, He walked out of the shadows and came all the way to the edge of the roof balcony.
From here, it is just enough to have a complete view of the front of the Earl of Monte Cristo's estate in the distance.Whether it is a clean and tidy street outside the wall, or a delicate four-story house inside the wall.
"The field of view is just right." He said to himself, "As a stage, it's simply fantastic." After speaking, He laughed in a low voice, which was full of coldness and madness.
"The moment when everyone is overwhelmed is just the beginning of the performance, I think, you shouldn't just die like this, boy..."
Click.
The sound of mechanical assembly sounded on the shadowed roof. He was wearing a cloak and concealed his identity and face. In the darkness, he touched every part with incomparable familiarity, and assembled them one by one on his body. Love Guns - On "Whispers".
After inlaying the last part, he raised his hand and transformed from a pistol into a long-barreled sniper rifle. He gently stroked the cold steel body of the gun, and his focused and affectionate eyes under the mask were like Looking at the love of my life.
Then, he opened the bracket, put the gun on the balcony, and lay prone on the ground. Through the 8x scope, he quietly watched the estate of the Earl of Monte Cristo, muttering incessantly:
"Jhin, the virtuoso, let the music play and I'll make the audience dance."
"Everyone, everyone, everyone."
"Let us wait for the wonderful moment together, wait for the arrival of our actor boy, and then pull the trigger."
"Every bullet is a strand of my soul; every gunfire is a strand of my life."
"Oh, the actors are already on stage, everyone is on their positions, Ready, go!"
When Charlotte's figure was reflected in the scope, he smiled silently, and then pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand.
"I bloom in the slaughter, like a flower in the dawn."
bump! !
……
When the bright fire was reflected in his eyes, the deadly killing intent stimulated every inch of muscle and every bone in Charlotte's body.
For the first time, not in a dream but in reality, death was so close to him.
Almost subconsciously, Charlotte shifted her body away, and then a hot spark passed in front of her, hitting the red wall of the manor.
With a bang, the hit wall burst open, as if a bomb had been detonated.
But it wasn't a bomb, Charlotte figured out what it was, it was a bullet, a bullet fired from a sniper rifle, a sniper shot that was more powerful than Charlotte imagined.If he hadn't been able to dodge at the critical moment just now, then this bullet was enough to shatter his upper body.
"Military long-barreled sniper rifle?!"
This is a real thing that kills people. It is a sniper method used to deal with some special monsters, and targeting humans is simply overkill.
But Charlotte didn't have time to think too much.
A second flare came on, and a second deadly sniper round followed.
"Queen"
The golden light of the Kun En seal lit up for the second time tonight, and the barrier capable of resisting the explosion of a trigger bomb appeared in front of it and collided with the second fatal bullet.
Blocked, almost all the kinetic energy of the second sniper bullet was offset by the barrier, but Charlotte was still sent flying by the remaining force, and rolled on the ground several times in embarrassment.
The third round...
"Aard"
The impact created by Alder's seal formed a translucent ripple in front of his eyes, and in front of the ripple, a bullet was firmly stuck in it.
In the end, the trajectory of the bullet was disturbed, and it shifted slightly, barely passing Charlotte's shoulder.
"Hmph." With a muffled snort, Charlotte clutched her shoulders and made a tactical roll on the spot, sinking into the dead corner of the nearest alley.
Chapter 32 The Disappearing Killer
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."
Charlotte clutched the shoulder of her right hand, leaning her back against the wall at the dead end of the alley, panting softly.
At this time, blood was flowing from his right shoulder, dripping down his arm under his clothes, which could be clearly heard with his keen perception in the silent street, making his heartbeat inevitable. It started to beat faster and faster.
The situation was not very good. Although none of the three sniper shots were hitting him, Charlotte was spared the fate of being smashed into pieces by a shuttle. Sniping still brought injuries.
The second bullet was blocked by the seal of Kun En, offsetting most of the force, but it also caused Charlotte to be sent flying.
And the third bullet was aimed at his upper body, but it was deflected by the impact created by Alder's seal and pierced through his right shoulder, but it still damaged his shoulder and made his hands numb .
I don't know if it hurt the shoulder bone.
Of course, these are not important. Strictly speaking, Charlotte is no longer a pure-bred human being. His body is mixed with the original blood of gods and spirits. This injury will not hinder him.
It's just that in a short while, relying only on self-healing ability, it is impossible to recover in a short while.
So the most serious thing is actually the mental pain caused by using the seal twice in a very short period of time in order to resist the sniper attack.
After all, he is not a real spellcaster, and the seal is not a spell in the complete sense. This simplified technique is convenient and quick to lower the door frame, but it will also oppress the user's spirit.Under normal circumstances, there must be an interval between using the seal to relieve mental pressure.
But just now, in less than three breaths, Charlotte used the spell twice in a row, and the interval between before and after was not even more than a second, which made him enjoy what it was like to cast a spell with a load.
The pain, the stinging pain in the brain as if being pricked by a needle, the delay in consciousness and thinking made the stinging pain even more uncomfortable, and even the vision was slightly blurred.
"Humph."
Charlotte snorted, resisting the stinging mental pain, and a flame instantly lit up on the left hand pressed on the right shoulder.
"Lgni"
Using the Sign of Igni, he ignited a flame and burned it on his shoulder, and then suppressed the injury on his right shoulder with the help of burning Charlotte.And the pain caused by the burning, in turn, stimulated the spiritual consciousness, allowing him to cheer up again.
"If I had known earlier, I should have brought out the sword."
Charlotte twisted her right shoulder, which was still not so flexible, and muttered regretfully.
This killer is definitely the scariest sniper he has ever seen. The range of the sniper he captured just now is at least about 800 meters, maybe a little farther. It is unheard of for this distance to be able to snipe three times in a row with incomparable precision.
If there is a sword in hand, Charlotte can also use the sword to forcibly chop off the bullets. The legendary swordsmanship inherited from a demigod can definitely be done.
But now, except for the French seal, the only weapon on Charlotte's body is Zhanlan Rose, a modified pistol.
But take a pistol and shoot at a sniper at a distance of 800 meters?Don't be kidding, this revolver, even if it is modified, it is hard to say whether the effective range can reach 100 meters.
Closing her eyes, Charlotte took a deep breath, then opened them again.
It's not the worst situation yet. I still have a gun on my body and can use the seal. Although I was injured, I didn't lose my ability to fight back.The killer who attacked him chose to snipe and plant bombs from a distance, which meant that he would not choose to fight with Charlotte.
Is it to ensure that no accidents happen?Or did he know that he would be the one who died in hand-to-hand combat?
Charlotte favored the latter.
"Good at long-range sniping and traps..." Muttering, Charlotte held the holster in her clothes with her left hand and held the revolver in her hand. "Then compare whether your aiming speed is faster or my reaction speed is faster."
After all, Charlotte jumped out of the blind corner where she was hiding, and while her figure was shaking, she began to sprint towards the killer's position.
The moment he exposed himself, a bone-chilling chill swept over him, and he aimed at him.
"Heh." Charlotte didn't panic, her figure swung to the right, once again dodged her body into the complicated environment of the streets and alleys, broke away from the lock, and then continued to move forward.
There are not many houses in this area, but they are no longer few. The gaps and intervals between houses form secret alleys, and these labyrinth-like alleys have become Charlotte's best cover at this moment.
Relying on intuition, under the precautionary situation, while the killer was aiming and locking, Charlotte could also sense it and immediately shift his position, allowing him to return without success.
Even if it is located at the commanding heights, it is impossible for him to have a panoramic view of all the gold in the streets and alleys below, and he can only monitor a part of it.On the other hand, the complex terrain can't hinder Charlotte's progress at all. Under the expertise of light movement (light work), Charlotte quickly crosses the obstacles along the way, passing through like a ghost and going straight to the target.
Ten meters, 40 meters, 80 meters, 100 meters...
Soon, as Charlotte moved forward and got rid of the lock again and again, he quickly narrowed the distance with the attacker, and soon, he pulled the distance between the two sides within the effective range of the modified revolver in his hand.
Without thinking about it, when her figure was exposed again, without waiting for the locked-in chill to grow, Charlotte raised the revolver in her hand and fired at the target's position.
Bright flames exploded from the muzzle of the modified revolver, and the huge recoil force was directly ignored by Charlotte. She held her arms firmly, and the sight never wavered in the slightest.
After firing all the bullets in one breath, Charlotte repeated the trick and flashed to the nearest blind spot to replace the bullets at the fastest speed before running out to continue firing.
"You can't run!"
Charlotte yelled loudly, the distance was already quite close at this time, and he no longer hid his figure, he stepped on the nearby roof in a few steps and rushed towards him.
"you……"
Falling to the previously locked position, Charlotte swallowed the words in an instant.
The cold wind at night blew past, and what appeared in front of me was an empty balcony and a balcony door that was pushed open on the edge of the balcony.
Ran?
Seeing the open balcony door, Charlotte rushed over without thinking.
crunch.
However, just as he approached and was about to touch the balcony door, a familiar and disgusting voice entered his ears again.
"Bastard!" With a yell, Charlotte broke free from the restraining force field and retreated quickly.
Boom~!
The fire flashed, and the impact of the distance carried shattered metal fragments, and the flames followed and flooded the balcony of this room.
A figure flipped around in the air, and landed on the ground without a sound. Then, he raised his head, and the pale golden pupils with anger reflected the flame above that dispelled the darkness.
Chapter 33 Thomson's Conspiracy
The fact that the police station was attacked by continuous bombs soon spread throughout the streets and alleys of the city after dawn.
In one night, three bomb attacks directly slapped the Novigrad city government agencies in the face.What's even worse is that one of the places where the explosion happened was the office of Police Commissioner Fernand. The police commissioner was confirmed dead on the spot, and the body was burned to the point where it was almost unrecognizable.
The public opinion in the city was in an uproar, and everyone, whether it was ordinary citizens, various gangster organizations, or businessmen, talked about it.
This kind of government agency was bombed, and even a government official died, and there was no way to hide it. I am afraid that it will not take long for this news to spread to the neighboring city and then quickly spread to the entire Federation.
