Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 3 Touching the Corpse

About a quarter of an hour has passed since the assassination operation started.

The manor above the head must have been bleeding into rivers, but the sewer was peaceful, except for the gurgling of dirty water and the occasional rat squeak.

The "Weasel Phantom Thieves" are all professional assassins, and most assassinations will end quietly.

But this time, unexpectedly, something happened.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded.

The fire blasted through the floor, and the air wave violently poured into the ground. In this closed sewer pipe, the movement became more and more deafening.

The sudden change made Tiger look like an old dog whose tail had been stepped on, and bounced up with a "whoosh".

This guy, who looked like a drunk just a second ago, instantly turned into a cold vicious dog in the dark, staring sharply at the depths of the pipe.

He looked at the big hole where the sewer pipe was blown through, and muttered to himself: "Hey, it's strange, why did the boss and the others make such a big noise? Is there some accident?"

Before he could say anything, the newcomers immediately became alert.

Ren also took out the dagger in the leather case, and pointed to the source of the explosion with a serious expression.

He glanced at Tiger who was sneaking and hiding in the darkness, and secretly rejoiced that it was the right choice not to act rashly.

And at this moment, suddenly the "intelligent brain" sounded a notification tone again.

【Ding! warn! Discovering the attack of deadly unknown neurotoxin, direction → slight paralysis, and about to fall into a coma, please inject antidote immediately. 】

【Ding! The concentration continues to rise, and it is expected to reach a fatal concentration in 1.3 seconds. Please evacuate the dangerous area in time! 】

1.3 seconds, no time for people to react at all.

"not good!"

Without any hesitation, Ren took out an antidote from his hand as if conjuring, and stabbed it on his thigh.

This was secretly saved during his new training, and it just came in handy now.

At the same time as the needle was inserted, he drew back in the direction indicated by the toxin without hesitation.

He is still wearing a gas mask now, and the toxin has invaded the respiratory tract without any barrier, but how deadly is that toxin?

Instinct made him not care about revealing his hole cards, so he chose to run away immediately!

"9527, what are you doing!"

On the other hand, Tiger's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw Renn's figure suddenly retreating.

He was not only astonished at the strange behavior of this newcomer, but also marveled at the amazing speed this guy showed.

[Rampage] is a basic movement skill that thieves must learn. Everyone in the "Weasel Squad" knows it, and can explode at super high speed in an instant.

But Tiger found that the speed at which the rookie broke out just now was much higher than he had imagined.

This is definitely not the level that ordinary rookies can do!

This group of newcomers was brought out by him alone. In his impression, 9527, who is of mediocre qualifications, has a burst speed of about 11 or 12 m/s in the "quick step" assessment on weekdays, which is just a passing level.

But at this moment, he actually broke out at a super high speed of nearly 15 meters per second!

This level. Although not as good as the awakened ones, it far surpasses all newcomers of the same level!

And the other two rookies were also shocked. They were obviously "crane tail" guys in the training and assessment, how could they suddenly become so powerful?

Could it be that guy is trying to seize the moment of the explosion and escape?

"This is actually so proficient in body skills. Could it be that that kid hides his clumsiness?"

Tiger instantly understood what he had lost sight of!

This taciturn rookie is probably the one who hides the deepest ruthless character.

Although surprised, he sneered at the same time: Even so, it is impossible to escape from Lao Tzu's hands!

But in an instant, a doubt flashed in Tiger's mind: "The supplies that the newcomer carries are all standard equipment. Where did he get that potion? Is it some kind of storage space?"

Obviously, Tiger also noticed the strange behavior of Ren injecting a medicine into himself just now.

"That seems to be the antidote for the training center. When did that guy secretly hide one?"

But reality didn't give him much time to think.

Suddenly, a sense of crisis hit Tiger's heart.

The experienced man's complexion changed drastically, and he immediately realized what was going on.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Tiger watched a staggering figure jumping from the explosion hole into the sewer, and just wanted to escape, but a strong sense of dizziness hit his head.

Only then did he realize that this was deadly poisonous gas!

The toxin spread extremely fast, and the horrified expression in Tiger's eyes didn't even fully stretch on his face, and the corpse collapsed powerlessly on the ground.

The other two newcomers didn't even have a chance to react, they rolled their eyes and died instantly.

"What's the situation, someone really escaped from the sewer?!"

On the other hand, Renn sprinted all the way to avoid the toxin wave, and felt incredible in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the assassination of the "Weasel Phantom Thieves" actually happened unexpectedly.

He looked at the "hot pursuit" figure behind him, and his heart thumped slightly.

Obviously, it wasn't Tiger, and it wasn't the other two newcomers either. The terrifying toxin spread rapidly along with the explosion, and the three guys had no time to react, so they must have died by now.

"Isn't the person coming from a transcendent? Or was he seriously injured?"

After running a few hundred meters, Ren suddenly felt a little strange.

This guy didn't catch up with him?

Then, without waiting for him to think about it, the staggering guy behind him fell to the ground, crawling prostrate in the sewage.

"died?"

Seeing this scene, Ren was stunned.

He stopped, holding the dagger in his hand tightly.

Thoughts flashed across his mind: If the other party is an extraordinary person, it would be easy to kill him, so there is no need to use this hard-to-get scheme. But if this guy is not an extraordinary person, it is impossible for him to escape into this sewer from the siege of assassins.

The only possibility is that this guy is really seriously injured and died.

Who is that man?

After weighing in his mind for a moment, Ren chose to take a closer look.

The concentration of poisonous fog around him showed that it was within a safe range, and he walked towards the fallen man cautiously.

The felled guy's mouth and nose were half-soaked in the sewage, apparently dead.

There was a lot of blood on the back of the corpse, and a black streamer dagger was inserted.

Obviously, this is fatal.

"This is the enchanted dagger [Black Ridge Spike] of the leader Quinn?"

At a glance, Ren recognized the gleaming black knife stuck in the back of the corpse, with the terrifying three-line blood-slot dagger.

This is the exclusive extraordinary weapon of Quinn, the leader of the "Weasel Phantom Thieves".

It also means that this knife was personally executed by the leader Quinn!

"He was able to escape under Quinn who unlocked the third-order gene lock. Who the hell is this guy?"

Ren has seen how powerful the leader Quinn is. An ordinary second-order transcendent can't survive a move in his hands.

If he can escape alive, it means that this guy's strength is not simple.

With doubts, Ren looked sideways at the face of the corpse, and waited until he could see the bearded face clearly, but his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Isn't this the target of this assassination, Baron Morin?"

He was very familiar with this face. Before this operation, everyone in the "Weasel Squad" had remembered the target's photo by heart.

Seeing the corpse right in front of his eyes, Ren's heart jumped.

Sneaking into a large territory and killing the nobles of the empire violated the scope of work of ordinary phantom thieves.

Since the upper echelons of the "Weasel Phantom Thieves" dare to take such a big risk this time, it means that Baron Morin definitely has a big secret!

The poisonous gas in the explosion tunnel is still very strong, and the people above will probably have to wait for a while to get down.

Ren glanced at the explosion not far away, and a crazy idea flashed through immediately.

"Touch the corpse!"

Although he was somewhat envious of the iron-sharpening dagger [Black Ridge Spike] on the corpse, he did not dare to move rashly, but carefully touched the corpse of Baron Morin.
