Chapter 144 Rain Curtain Murder
Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the air was filled with the dampness and stickiness of water vapor.
It's going to rain.
Today's class had just ended. The small classroom at the foot of the mountain did not provide meals, so Elsa was about to go to a nearby restaurant to see if there was anything delicious.
Originally, taverns provided food, but due to the hot sales of distilled ale and blended fruit juices, taverns now specialize in providing only alcoholic beverages.
However, this also gave rise to many small restaurants, and Elsa liked the food in these small restaurants.
But Rand didn't seem to like it. Most of the time, Elsa felt that Rand was forcing her to swallow the food in her mouth instead of enjoying it.
What a picky tongue.
I don’t know what kind of delicacies he used to eat.
Before leaving for the royal capital, Rand also said that he would hold a cooking competition in the fall, and it seemed that it had already been implemented.
Raindrops began to fall from the sky to the ground.
In a sense, falling from the sky to the ground is the life of a raindrop.
Many pedestrians on the roadside were wearing raincoats, and some were using umbrellas. Because it was raining, many people quickened their pace, looking for temporary shelter or wanting to go home quickly.
Elsa raised her palm and watched the raindrops fall into her palm, splashing water.
She originally wanted to go to the pub to borrow a raincoat, but now it seems unnecessary.
He turned and left, first walking, then running, and then dodging with unpredictable movements, avoiding the sharp blades, arrows, and shurikens.
Elsa's figure was floating in the rain.
Soon, she came to a very remote open space.
The sun was about to set, and the sky was very dark because the dark rain clouds in the sky blocked most of the evening sunlight. The sound of the dripping rain seemed even clearer.
Unlike the smooth main road of the holiday villa, this place is still a dirt road, and it has become a bit muddy due to the addition of rain.
Elsa looked calmly at the several cloaked figures that gradually walked out from all directions.
Two were in white robes, and the rest were in black robes, but there were nine of them, a total of eleven.
It seems that the family still misses her. As a family of assassins, there are naturally a few top-level white-robed assassins, but the number is not large. After all, the top level is not a level that can be easily reached. Even if the family screens and trains in such a cruel mode, there are still only a few who can become the top level.
Once you become the top leader, you are eligible to wear a white robe, and there are two white-robed assassins present.
The rest are also senior assassins.
If these two white-robed assassins also died here, then her father might be faced with a situation where no one was available.
Having lived comfortably in Rand for too long, she almost forgot about her family. Now it seems that the shadow of her family is still like a nightmare that cannot be shaken off.
"The ghost is still there." Elsa curled her lips and pulled out a pair of blood-red curved daggers.
The assassins who emerged from the shadows were not in a hurry to launch an attack. One of the white-robed assassins lifted his hood, revealing an expressionless male face. “Elsa, you are the second most talented assassin in the history of our family. No wonder Vitas failed to bring back your head and lost his life.”
He became a top-level professional at such a young age, and killed all the hunting teams composed of top-level assassins and top-level white-robed assassins, without seeming to have suffered any serious injuries.
What an exaggerated fighting talent.
"If you are willing to go back with us and contribute your strength to the family, the head of the family will be willing to forgive your willfulness." The male assassin who took off his hood persuaded.
The white-robed assassin usually solved problems with a dagger, poison or trap. But at this moment, after realizing how powerful Elsa was, he rarely tried to solve the problem with words.
Nine senior assassins plus two white-robed assassins can almost complete the assassination of anyone in the world. Of course, the premise is that this person is not the "king". Even a king can try, but not the "king".
But now, the white-robed assassin was a little scared. Although he claimed that this team could definitely defeat and kill Elsa, he didn't know how many people they would lose in Elsa's resistance.
Maybe one of him and the other white-robed assassin will die here?
After all, the previous team leader Vitas and his team members, none of them ran back. They originally thought that Vitas was persuaded by Elsa, or simply had no intention of hunting down Elsa and directly defected from the family.
At least when they really saw Elsa, they never thought that the entire assassination team could be dealt with by Elsa alone.
But now, realizing that Elsa had risen to the highest level, they had to seriously consider this possibility and hesitated whether to pay a heavy enough price to destroy the family traitor, Elsa.
The family cannot afford such a heavy loss. It had paid too high a price in the previous hunt for Elsa.
Elsa's expression was as cold as the faces under the hoods of these assassins. After listening to the assassin's speech, she even had the leisure to look up at the increasingly dark sky and the rain.
The falling rain wet her body a lot. The rain flowed across her pretty face, dripped from her cheeks to her shoulders, and then soaked her clothes. After accumulating enough, it dripped from her elbows to the ground.
"Have you finished talking nonsense?" Seeing that the somewhat weathered assassin in white robes had stopped talking, Elsa added a concluding sentence for him.
The white-robed assassin realized that there was no room for maneuver, at least this Elsa had no intention of surrendering.
"Go." Just as Elsa said, the nonsense was over and now only one concise and clear word was needed.
The two white-robed assassins attacked Elsa from two directions at the same time, and the black-robed assassins behind them either threw long-range weapons or rushed over with daggers.
Elsa shrugged.
Elsa disappeared in the rain, just like every raindrop, completely blending into the rain.
The sky was gradually getting darker, making it more difficult to capture Elsa's figure.
The clouds rolled and collided with each other. Suddenly the sky brightened and a flash of lightning struck the ground from the sky like an electric snake.
At the moment when rain and lightning met, Elsa cut the throats of the three senior assassins.
Then, as the lightning disappeared, it disappeared in the rain again.
At this time, the two white-robed assassins' attacks finally arrived, but they only hit a few strands of hair.
Then there was a loud rumbling sound of thunder.
The white-robed assassins were not surprised by this situation. The top assassin who was not wearing a hood and trying to persuade Elsa lowered his body and turned into a white shadow.
Such a terrifying speed directly broke through the rain curtain and rushed in front of Elsa.
The daggers collided with each other, making a sharp, teeth-grinding sound of metal friction.
Another assassin in a white robe stretched out his hand from a distance, and then two short throwing knives also cut through the rain, drawing arcs in the air, and flew to the left and right towards Elsa who was narrowly blocking the dagger.
After arching her back and bending her knees to push away the enemy in front of her, Elsa jumped back, twisting her body in the air, and avoided one of the short flying knives.
The other throwing knife could have been avoided, but after being hit, Elsa discovered that there was a silver thread at the end of the short throwing knife, connected to the finger of the white-robed assassin behind her.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Due to the control of the silk thread, the flying knife changed its direction during flight.
Fortunately, it didn't hit the vital points.
After killing the two senior assassins who tried to rush up, Elsa pulled out the short throwing knife from her body, not caring about the blood gushing out of the wound and mixing with the rain.
The dark eyes stared at the enemy in front of him.
It would be too troublesome to deal with two white-robed assassins at the same time. She had to get rid of one first, otherwise she might be exhausted to death here.
Elsa disappeared in the rain again. At the same time, the white-robed assassin without a hood also turned into a white shadow in the rain again.
Footsteps touched the ground, splashing mud and water, but no dirt could catch up with the footsteps of the white-robed assassin.
Another breakthrough, and Elsa was forced to stop.
This time, the white-robed assassin behind threw eight flying knives.
Eight flying knives were like nimble flying swallows, attacking Elsa who was standing still from all directions under control.
Elsa exhaled softly, and the rain slid down from the tip of her nose to her lips.
The figure disappeared again.
In fact, every time Elsa disappears, it is almost impossible to detect visually. The hoodless assassin in a white robe naturally did not use vision to discover Elsa.
This time, Elsa seemed to have learned her lesson. She deliberately lowered the sound of her footsteps and held her breath. There was also a buzzing sound that she didn't know why, but she couldn't suppress the sound of rain hitting her skin and her heartbeat.
Sure enough, Elsa was discovered again, and now there were four more bloody wounds on her body.
His fighting skills are more sophisticated and sharper than expected, but he lacks experience.
The white-robed assassin commented in his mind.
Elsa repeated her old trick, and the white-robed assassin did the same.
But this time it missed and he hit a vibrating oval object instead.
Part of the structure of this little toy was damaged. Elsa didn't know how it worked, but the night before, Lisa insisted on giving one to her. But she wasn't a pervert, so she just put it in her pocket.
Just now, she carefully destroyed part of the toy's structure. Maybe Lisa would be angry if she saw that she didn't cherish this little toy. After destroying part of the structure, the vibration frequency was greatly reduced, making this little toy beat slowly like a heart in a short period of time.
Coupled with the interference of rain and footsteps, the white-robed assassin successfully misjudged.
Just as the uncovered white-robed assassin hit the vibrating toy, Elsa had already arrived in front of the white-robed assassin holding the throwing knife.
This white-robed assassin who seems to be good at long-range attacks is not easy to deal with. Having reached the level of a top-level professional, it is natural that he cannot use melee weapons.
But the one who used the throwing knife was not as good at close combat as the other one who used the dagger.
Elsa threw out a dagger, but it was blocked. She then kneed him in the stomach, causing him to gasp for air. She threw out a dagger again, but it was blocked again.
There was a clanging sound of metal colliding against metal.
Elsa stepped on the toes of the white-robed assassin and finally caught the moment when his movements became stiff.
The blood-red dagger pierced through the heart, but in return, the white-robed assassin also left a hole in Elsa's waist.
Elsa lifted the body of the white-robed assassin and blocked the long-range attacks of several senior assassins.
The senior assassins no longer dared to rush forward at this time, and only dared to use some inferior attacks from a distance.
Even so, even if they were just standing far away, when Elsa's dark eyes looked at them, they took a few steps back in fear.
Elsa threw the body of the white-robed assassin in her hand to the ground, splashing mud and water on the muddy ground, as well as some fallen leaves that were hit by the rain and fell to the ground.
Taking another soft breath, she looked towards the unhooded, white-robed assassin who had reacted and tried to rush to help, but found it was too late.
He looked at the wound on Elsa's body that was bleeding continuously and slowly lowered his body.
