Chapter 73 Temptation
Ten people are afraid of just one person? This is really not a joke. Ranaya once had a similar experience. Just because they touched the person who was following them first, their entire team suffered a fatal counterattack, and only the one who survived in the end
Three people.
If something goes wrong this time, the person involved is not an insignificant person, but a companion with the same beliefs. She cannot afford to lose.
This time, she had to be cautious.
It was impossible to make progress without going out, so Lanaya walked out of the hotel under the cover of everyone. They all followed separately about thirty meters away from Lanaya, except Grint. Grint had to follow him even to death.
Ranaya walked together and couldn't get rid of her, claiming that she wanted to give Ranaya the most effective support as soon as possible.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lanaya to realize that someone's eyes were locked on her. While walking normally, she spread her mental power to the fan-shaped area behind her, and soon she determined the general location of the person.
.
Lanaya and Grint made an appointment. If that person showed up, they would say "I didn't have enough for breakfast today." When Lanaya said this to Grint, Grint obviously didn't realize it.
By the time they were being followed, it was also true. Due to years of experience and abnormal mental power, Lanaya was able to pick out the person just by feeling, while Grint had no talent at all.
This time they were still being followed by one person. Everyone's amethyst rings had been hidden by Ranaya in a special way, but it didn't do much for them because they had already been recognized.
Got it!
If the other party knew that there were eight people secretly guarding them, they would definitely not act rashly. But now it's just the two of them, so they can't do it.
I repeated this peacefully and nervously for two days. I've been observing for two days and it's still not up. What does this mean?
Could it be that he also guessed what they were thinking and knew there was someone behind them?
This is not the way to go, we must let that person take the initiative to show up.
Lanaya chose a night, sent the others back, and only took Grint out. She still wanted to test the background of those people.
The night in Kuanglan City is not lively at all, on the contrary, it is a bit deserted. There are only a few scattered people on the street, but the brightly lit streets can still prove that there are many living people in this city.
The sandy-yellow road looked pale under the light, like fragile paper that couldn't touch the fire.
The man seemed to have never moved and was guarding them when they came out. They must have been familiar with their route habits by heart.
"Glint, you pretend to have something to do and leave. I'll wait for you right where you are." Lanaya wanted to create a distance between the two of them and make the enemy relax their vigilance.
"Then I'll go to the mission release office over there." Grint pointed to the three-story house a hundred meters ahead.
"Well, wait for my news and you will come back."
After watching Grint leave, Lanaya once again turned her attention to the person following them. Of course, this was not looking with her eyes, that was blatantly writing "come and kill me" on her face.
The man moved! He walked towards the direction Grint left!
Is this carelessness or confidence?
No, do they really have that plan?
The mission release point is a hundred meters away from where Lanaya is! If Lanaya continues to stand still, he will probably take Grint as a hostage and force him to rescue her!
By then...it's too late!
When he got closer, he deliberately walked farther away, not exposing his back to Lanaya's sight. He didn't speed up his pace, and still walked forward at a normal walking speed.
Lanaya was just thinking about how to meet up with Grint before that man, when a young woman in work clothes ran out of a storefront on the street and stopped her and said: "Hello, the triggers in our store are on special sale right now.
, can you come and find out more?”
"No." Lanaya's tone was very calm. If you were on the street at this time, you would see someone suddenly disappearing out of thin air. She did not really disappear, but appeared in an instant more than ten meters beside the road.
On the high roof!
The flashing dagger returned to its normal state in a flash. Lanaya tapped her toes and rushed towards the direction of Grint. Her steps were quick but light, and she didn't make a sound.
"He is coming in your direction. Don't panic. There is a small alley twenty meters in front of you, turn right, just walk in normally." Lanaya transmitted the message to Grint through the amethyst ring.
Grint received the instruction and didn't ask any more questions. Although her legs were still shaking with nervousness, she believed that Lanaya would not harm her!
Lanaya quickly rushed to the roof where the alley was, and happened to see Grint who had just arrived. Lanaya lowered her body, grasped the eaves of the house with one hand, stretched her feet down and let go, jumping directly from the ten-meter-high roof.
At the same time as she fell, Lanaya actually applied the magic circle of the psychic trap to herself, which slowed the speed of falling to the ground by half, greatly reducing the impact force.
Ranaya controlled this jump very well. She landed on her toes first and didn't make much noise, but it still caused a whirlwind to surge up on the ground, kicking up dust as high as her calf.
Grint was immediately startled. She was walking smoothly and suddenly there was someone there. Before she could react, she was grabbed by the arm by that person. She heard a "whoosh" in her ear and she was on the roof.
After seeing clearly that Lanaya was next to him, Grint breathed a sigh of relief. When he reached the roof, he could see the stars in the sky clearly, and his field of vision was much wider than on the ground.
"It's such an artifact. Why haven't I met such a treasure before?" Lanaya felt more and more that the flickering dagger was incredible. Not only could it move short distances instantly at will, but it could actually take someone with it... Of course, it wasn't always available.
It can be used. After using it once, it seems to need a period of charging process. Otherwise, it would be too abnormal. Why would it need a vehicle?
"It's so exciting, Lady Heroine, why don't you say hello first when you take me flying? My heart is going to be scared out of my chest."
After Lanaya made a gesture of silence, she spread her mental power around again. After a moment, Lanaya walked in one direction and saw the confused man.
it's him.
After losing the target, the person's performance did not change suddenly. For example, he used Qing Kung Fu to disappear without a trace in an instant, or searched every corner nearby at an unscientific speed.
He left at a very normal speed.
"Follow him."
The height of the roofs is quite consistent and dense, so it is not difficult to walk on the roofs. Occasionally, when they encounter a wider gap, Lanaya will use the blinking dagger to jump over with Grint. They are very lucky that the roof
It's not made of tiles, otherwise the sound would still be there?
There were not many people on the street, and with Lanaya, a veteran, it was really difficult to lose someone.
After following around, Lanaya found that the man behaved horribly normally. This kind of normality was considered normal after considering his original identity. As a killer, not to mention that he must fulfill his duties, why?
You should be more vigilant, right?
He went to a convenience store. He didn't deliberately take a detour and took the nearest route. After a few minutes, he walked out with a bottle of wine in his hand. After that, he walked back to the hotel where Lanaya and the others were staying.
direction, stopped at a place still far away, sat on the ground, opened the bottle of wine and started drinking.
If people who don't know his identity see him, they won't believe that he is a killer who takes people's lives. Looking at him like this, he is quite depressed.
While he was drinking, he was muttering something. He was too far away to hear clearly.
After a long time, he put the finished bottle of wine on the ground, got up and left.
Lanaya said to Grint: "There is a ladder here. Go down, go around to the left, and meet him. Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Grint stood still, his eyes hesitant.
"What will you do with your courage? Have you forgotten your ice crystal necklace and the self-defense skills I taught you?" Lanaya patted Grint on the shoulder lightly.
Grint blinked twice, shook his head desperately, glanced at Lanaya one last time, and slowly bent down the ladder.
Lanaya smiled happily, that was right. When Grint walked around the back of the opposite row of houses and disappeared from her sight, she also jumped and landed directly on the rooftop opposite.
What Lanaya patted on Grint's shoulder was her specially made "tracker", so that she could know her current situation without having to keep an eye on Grint.
Grint's heart was beating fast. Seeing that she was only ten steps away from the corner, her whole body began to tremble unconsciously.
Five steps. The surroundings were eerily quiet.
The wind at night is a bit cold compared to the heat during the day.
At one step, she stopped and stuck her head out.
The man was slowly walking in his direction, his eyes a little distracted. He turned his head and looked at the deep sky in the distance and the unreachable horizon at the end of the road.
Grint mustered up his courage, took a step forward, and appeared in front of him.
Grint had been fed the information that the other party was the enemy in advance, and if he wanted her to pretend to be calm, he was overestimating her. She didn't dare to look forward at all.
Grint didn't look, but Lanaya was looking for her. The man's pupils froze and his steps paused. Then, he made an inconspicuous movement. Of course, this movement was only noticed by Lanaya and not Green.
Special: He rubbed the ring on his hand with his thumb. His ring was also purple, but not as pure as amethyst; the cutting shape was much simpler, and even the material of the ring itself was much inferior. However,
Compared with all the triggers, this is pretty good. I can only say that the amethyst ring of the Hidden Temple is too high-grade.
The man must have recognized Grint, but he didn't move. He opened his mouth and said only one sentence.
