Chapter 187 Fraudulent Attack

“Bang!”

Along with the sound of shattering window glass, a dagger flashing with cold light was thrown into the room of No. 23, flying towards Nephthys who had just said that name. It was about to stab her, but Nephthys was still in shock from the shattering window and did not react at all.

"careful!"

At this moment, Brandon on the side shouted loudly, and rushed towards Nefernis, knocking her aside at the critical moment, but the flying dagger pierced his chest.

"ah!"

Brandon let out a scream, and instantly, blood stained Brandon's shirt red. Brandon opened his eyes wide, covered his wound, and fell down. After taking a few deep breaths, he stopped breathing and lay motionless on the ground. This scared Nephnis, who had just sat up.

"Mr. Brandon! Mr. Brandon, what's wrong with you? Cheer up, Mr. Brandon!"

Nephnis quickly knelt on the floor and began to check Brandon's condition. After she tested his nose and found that he was dead, her face turned pale.

"Dead, dead..." Nephnis' heart tightened, and her heart was suddenly filled with a huge sense of panic and guilt.

'Mr. Brandon is dead... He told me that name... I killed Mr. Brandon. I shouldn't have told him something that involved secrets...

"And, those guys...are nearby right now, right outside, watching us..."

Realizing that she was in danger, Nephnis stood up quickly, picked up her book and ran towards the door in a hurry, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.

Just as Nefernis ran to the door, it was suddenly opened and a middle-aged stranger with a serious look came in. When he saw Nefernis, he knocked her to the ground with a wave of his hand, and the books she was holding scattered all over the floor.

“Hmm!”

Before Nefernis could react, the middle-aged man closed the door behind him, then strode up to Nefernis and strangled her neck with one hand, making her unable to make a sound. At the same time, she struggled for suffocation, her face flushed red. It seemed that the middle-aged man was going to strangle Nefernis to death directly.

"Don't kill her yet. Ask her how she knew her name."

At this time, from behind the broken window, another young man broke the remaining glass and climbed in, and spoke to the man who was about to strangle Nefernis to death.

Originally their mission was just to investigate the owner of No. 23 and find out his background, but they didn't expect to encounter a special situation. Because of this special situation, they had to change the investigation into a raid and take action directly.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he loosened his grip on the queen a little, allowing her to breathe and speak with difficulty, and then said viciously to her.

"Don't shout, tell me the truth! How did you know that name? I can spare your life if you tell me!"

Nephnis, who was still being lightly grabbed by the neck by the middle-aged man, was breathing hard. Just when she was about to say something, something strange happened at the scene again.

In the living room of No. 23, three figures suddenly appeared from behind the curtains, from under the sofa, from inside the cabinet... They were dressed differently, each holding a pistol, pointing at the sudden intruders from all directions. The one who came out from the cabinet was right next to the person who held Nephnis hostage. These were the corpse dolls that Dorothy prepared in No. 23 just in case.

Seeing that the other party suddenly gave up the investigation and turned to attack, Dorothy could not do too much. From Nephnesse's previous behavior, she was worried about Brandon's safety and thought that ordinary people dealing with extraordinary items would harm him, so she wanted to collect them. After failing to collect them, she also suggested that Brandon throw the items away. Her actions left a good impression on Dorothy. In addition, she was also an insider of the school's secrets, so Dorothy planned to help her.

The moment the three zombies appeared, they all opened fire at the same time. The fierce gunfire resounded throughout the block, and the man holding Nefernis hostage was shot in the head and fell to the ground without warning.

However, the reaction of the other young man was unusually fast. The moment he saw the zombies coming out, he immediately confirmed the direction of the enemy and judged the direction of the gun and the direction of the bullet. Then he began to dodge in advance, and his speed was extremely fast. He dodged the two flying bullets as if he had predicted.

"Is this... a Beyonder? And this reaction and speed, is it a 'shadow'?"

Looking at this scene in front of her, Dorothy in the distance thought in her heart that at the scene on the 23rd, the young man who dodged two bullets rolled over and quickly approached a corpse, and in the process pulled out a dagger from his waist, and then a strange cold light flashed on the dagger.

"There's an ambush... Humph, there's something wrong with this so-called lost and found!"

Darkly, with a cold snort, the blue-haired man who had just rolled over quickly stood up, holding a dagger in his hand and slashing at the gun-wielding corpse in front of him, and easily chopped off the corpse's head with the dagger wrapped with "Shadow". Being able to wrap around the knife to increase its sharpness is an inherent skill of "Shadow", and the blue-haired man is only an apprentice-level "Shadow" and can do this.

"Bang!"

After the green-haired man dealt with the first corpse, the remaining two corpses immediately started a second round of shooting at him. Unfortunately, the green-haired man had memorized their positions beforehand and had anticipated their next attack. He dodged in advance and this round of shooting missed again.

When facing bullets, "Cup" can resist with flesh, "Stone" can resist with armor, and "Shadow" can rely on high mobility to dodge directly. Therefore, at low levels, these three types of extraordinary people have more advantages in direct melee combat. "Lamp", "Silence" and "Start" are more inclined to long-range and strategic.

After dodging another round of shooting, the young man looked at the two remaining corpses in the room, with a fierce light in his eyes as if he was staring at his prey. Then he strode forward and shot directly at the next target.

Even if it encounters three armed men in a small space, it is confident that it can kill them all.

Just as the young man was rushing towards the next enemy, he felt one of his feet suddenly sink, as if being dragged by something. Then he suddenly lost his balance while rushing forward and fell to the ground.

"What!?"

The man who was tripped was shocked. He had already checked the terrain of the road. It was impossible for him to make such a mistake. He looked back.

What he saw next was the body that was supposed to be dead in the middle of the room. Brandon, who was killed by his own flying knife at the beginning, was now holding his feet tightly. He was tripped by Brandon who accidentally resurrected when he passed by Brandon.

"What's going on? Isn't this guy already dead? ! "

The young man was surprised, but the two zombies standing there did not give him time to express his surprise. They fired two shots at him in quick succession while he was lying on the ground, killing him directly.

All the intruders were killed, and the whole house returned to peace for a moment. Nephnis, who had witnessed the whole scene, sat on the ground, staring at it with her eyes wide open and her mouth wide open, until she saw the people who saved her put away their guns. The man who she should have confirmed dead came to his side and said, and then spoke.

"Miss Boyle, we can't stay here for long. I think the police will be here soon. Before we get into trouble again, I think we should leave through the back door and find a safe place to sit down and talk slowly.

"I think this time, both of us can be more honest."

As he spoke, Brandon stretched out his bloody hand towards Nefernis, who was sitting on the ground and was still a little panicked. Facing Brandon, Nefernis swallowed and spoke slowly.

"You, aren't you dead?"

Listening to Nefernis' words, Brandon responded with a slight smile.

"Ah... death, yes, I am dead, but in this secret world, sometimes death is far from the end.

"You don't know enough about the inside of this world, Miss Boyle. Perhaps... we can help you."
