[Comprehensive] The Last Assassin
Chapter 18
Shen Qiong got the first place in her age, but she only scored [-] points in the [-]-point test paper.
The Hidden Blade he was thinking about was placed on the principal's desk.
Brown cowhide black iron buckle, inlaid in the dart ejection device on the top is filled with enchanting poison, and the uniquely constructed zipline wheel below is shining with golden light, which happens to hide the Hidden Blade.
Assassins' Hidden Blades are like their souls.
The style of the Hidden Blade often alludes to the assassin's own behavior. Henry's Hidden Blade is just like his own, calm, reliable, and hidden.
In fact, this hidden blade is not suitable for Shen Qiong's offensive style.The Hidden Blade hidden under the pulley lock, this combination makes the speed of the pulley very fast and accurate, but sacrifices the sharpness of the Hidden Blade and the speed of unsheathing - even a slight metallic sound when unsheathed.
Henry uses this Hidden Blade because his work is more probing than assassination. The priority pulley gives him a natural advantage when retreating and climbing some rugged buildings. The psychedelic potion above can better help him anesthetize the enemy , easy to sneak in.
But this kind of configuration makes it difficult for Shen Qiong to use similar skills like "approaching the enemy from behind to complete a one-hit kill" - so she sometimes prefers to use a sword stick, but her sword stick is now taken away by Warren Went to refit the scabbard.
Shen Qiong happily re-attached her Hidden Blade to her right hand, tried it, and made sure that it was well maintained and not damaged at all, then raised her eyebrows at Charles with a little pride, and spread it out in no big or small way. Hand directly asked: "Where is my assassin logo?"
Charles explained with a good temper: "This kind of thing is not in my hands. I told you from the beginning. Actually, when I brought you back, I didn't see anything like it around you."
Shen Qiong knew that Charles was not lying, since even the Hidden Blade was returned to her, there was no need to coax her on such issues.
So she frowned: "Where is that lost?"
Charles nodded: "If it's very important, I can help you find it."
"No need." She declined Charles' offer.
"Since the Brotherhood is gone, the logo itself is useless." Shen Qiong raised her eyebrows, "Since I am the last assassin in North America—"
"As long as I am alive, it will be the most distinctive symbol of an assassin."
Charles was stunned. He watched Shen Qiong steadily and quietly. In his eyes, the assassin was free and unrestrained, full of danger and unknown.Even now, he didn't know if he was right or wrong in his final decision to let her go, but he felt he could give it a try.
Shen Qiong is not Magneto.Li Qianhuan was right, even if the experience was similar, he shouldn't look at her through other shadows, but should have more trust in her.
——She has the most essential difference from Eric Lanshere.
No matter what kind of disaster they encounter, the assassins will never see a sea of blood. The most memorable scene in their eyes will always be the endless blue sky they saw when they climbed the watchtower for the first time.
Charles let go.
He turned around, took out a document from the desk, and said to Shen Qiong: "The news about the Knights Templar, that's all I got."
"After the abolition of the Brotherhood, the main force of the Templars withdrew from New York on the surface, leaving only a knight commander named Lan Maloch to monitor the overall situation."
"Lan Malocco can be regarded as a famous man in New York, he is cautious and cunning, and very tricky." Charles pondered for a moment, looking at Shen Qiong with a calm look in his eyes: "But he is the only clue that is on the bright side so far. "
"If you want to pursue news of the Brotherhood or the Pieces of Eden, you must face Lan Malloc."
Lhammaloch, one of the twelve knights of the round table of King Arthur in the legend, was brave and good at fighting and left countless legends.
The Knight Commander of the Knights Templar also seemed to have the intention of carrying out the legend of Lanmallock on himself.
On the bright side, Lan Maloch is a philanthropist. The foundation under his name has sponsored a large number of orphanages and community schools, and called on people to abandon racial discrimination and become one family.These acts of kindness undoubtedly brought him a great reputation.In the upper class of New York, anyone would call the real estate tycoon "good Lan Mallock".
But in fact, in order to collect wealth for the Templars, Lanmaloch drove up housing prices, squeezed peers, lowered land prices wantonly, and even murdered landlords in order to buy a piece of land, destroying the original enterprises on the ground, causing hundreds of thousands of People are unemployed without a trace of mercy.
Maybe it's because he has done too much evil, this paladin is very low-key and rarely exposed to the public eye.There are even rumors that he lives in a mysterious castle with tighter security than the White House. It is full of magnetic fields to prevent mutants, and there are even special mechanical soldiers to fight against superheroes like Iron Man.
Looking at the materials in her hand, Shen Qiong made a judgment.
—a large tortoise retracting into its shell.
"I won't meddle in the dispute between the Templars and the Assassins, but I certainly don't agree with what Lamaloch has done."
"The last thing I can help you with is this news." Charles said calmly, "A week later, for the completion of the new building in Lanmaloch, he will hold a dinner party on the first floor of this building, and he will be on time at eight o'clock The banquet will begin with a speech, and he will leave the venue at 08:30."
"You'll have half an hour to deal with him."
"enough."
Shen Qiong said calmly, not knowing whether it was the answer to "this last clue" or the affirmation of "half an hour to act".
Shen Qiong packed up her salute and was just about to go out when she suddenly remembered something: "That is to say, you won't help me enter the venue?"
Charles shook his head: "You know, I have always disagreed with using force to solve problems."
Shen Qiong was about to refute, but saw Charles Xavier cast his gaze to the vast sky: "—but sometimes, force can indeed solve many problems that cannot be communicated."
Shen Qiong couldn't help curling her lips when she heard the words, but she still looked at Charles seriously and joked: "You look a little different from the beginning?"
Charles remained calm: "Oh?"
"At first you looked almost paranoid, but now you look much calmer." Shen Qiong smiled, "Did you finally get a good night's sleep?"
Shen Qiong just asked casually, but Charles thought about it seriously, and finally replied: "It's true, you give me a headache, and the headache makes me don't know how to treat you at all.
Shen Qiong followed up smoothly, pulling the final sound of the taste: "But——"
Charles cooperated with her with a smile: "But you showed me another possibility."
Shen Qiong: "...?"
Charles didn't look at the confused Shen Qiong, and said directly: "There is nothing to be gained by escaping. If you really don't want to lose, you can only face it—even if it is terrible."
Shen Qiong didn't know Charles Xavier very well, but she could also vaguely sense that Charles was emotionally unstable in the early stage. Shen Qiong knew very little about mutants, but when she heard from Li Qianhuan that Qin Gray's ability was out of control In a painful scene, she can probably guess what the scene would be if Charles Xavier couldn't control the power.
The scene was too terrifying, and Shen Qiong refused to think deeply.
If you think about it carefully, Charles Xavier is really a person who carries out "responsibility and ability" to the end.Qin Grey's power is out of control, but she will not despair because she knows that there is Professor X behind her, and with him, no matter what she does, she can be stopped.
So what about Charles Xavier, has he ever experienced a life out of control, and did he have someone behind him to support him at that time?
Shen Qiong asked suddenly: "Professor, have you ever lost control of your abilities?"
Charles didn't seem to expect her to ask this, but still replied, "Yes."
Shen Qiong felt that she had grasped some clues, and asked, "What about now?"
Charles made a joke, and he asked Shen Qiong: "If my ability is out of control now, do you think you can still stand here intact?"
Shen Qiong thought for a while, facing a telepath, she really didn't seem to have much countermeasures.
So she turned around, leaned on the door frame and said to Charles, "Professor, I've finished reading "The Portrait of Dorian Gray". I have a problem that I don't quite understand."
She turned around and smiled at Charles: "I'll ask you when I come back."
Before Charles had time to speak, Shen Qiong had jumped down from the second floor, and at the same time shot her own zipline to hook the tree in the atrium. Charles was only slow for a moment——Shen Qiong had disappeared.
The sapphire cufflinks made the professor's gentle eyes blue like the sea, and he chuckled softly.
In order to ensure security, Lanmalloc has installed facial recognition devices at the entrance of the building to ensure that no one can sneak in under disguise.At the same time, the lobby on the first floor is full of patrolling security personnel from the outside to the inside, and almost every corner of the monitor is equipped with professional bodyguards with guns.All the staff registered and pressed the button, entered the pupil model, entered the venue at noon, and underwent security checks one by one. After entering, they were not allowed to come out again to ensure that no outsiders would mix in.
Not to mention that there are many media present, it is almost a fantasy to kill people silently on such an occasion.
It seemed that Shen Qiong couldn't even take the first step.
She squatted on the street lamp opposite the building, and looked at the building where the feast was about to be held through the light of the street lamp.
This building has 77 floors and is built with the highest technology today, and the security system is provided by Wayne Group.Whether it is his special glass that still shimmers slightly at night, or the power and water supply system used in the building, they are all at the forefront of the world, and it is for this reason that Lan Mallorch dared to quote the highest lease price in New York.
Shen Qiong's target was firmly locked on all the exits of this building.
The emergency exit is on the right side behind the building, leading to an alley. Only two security personnel need to be placed in the alley to ensure the safety of this alley when the banquet starts.The ventilation pipe of the building is built-in, and it is fully automatic, and cannot be dismantled by hand.
The ventilation ducts in the building are equipped with infrared scanning and lasers. No matter who it is, even if a fly flies in by mistake, there is no way to get out alive.
This defensive method is simply outrageous.
So disgusting!
Shen Qiong was a little bit aggrieved, the old methods of sneaking in or changing clothes to sneak in were all useless, she only had one way to sneak in.
She observed the building for a day, and knew that the organizers of the event came back to inspect the venue every day. It seemed that Lan Mallorc was not a good-tempered boss.When the arranger looked at his watch, he was anxiously preparing to go home.
Shen Qiong landed silently, with her hands in her pockets, and rushed across the road as if she happened to be passing by, knocking someone down and scattering her briefcase all over the floor.
The man immediately cursed, but seeing that it was a weak and frightened girl who bumped into him, he couldn't say too much for a while, so he could only squat down to collect the documents.Shen Qiong also quickly knelt down to help tidy up.The documents were quickly sorted out. The man counted several sheets and there was no problem. He glanced at Shen Qiong, muttered "Be careful next time", and left in a hurry.
Shen Qiong bowed behind him and apologized, and waited for the person to disappear completely before walking to another blank space where the surveillance probe was on the street, and took out a folded document paper from her pocket, and the square document was in her fingers. With her tip flying, she casually opened the file, scanning the names of the invitees from top to bottom.
Suddenly, her eyes stopped on a column of names, and she couldn't help but curl her lips slightly.
After thinking about it, she dialed the phone, and after the call was connected, she smiled and said, "Master Worthington, how about being my brother for two days?"
The Hidden Blade he was thinking about was placed on the principal's desk.
Brown cowhide black iron buckle, inlaid in the dart ejection device on the top is filled with enchanting poison, and the uniquely constructed zipline wheel below is shining with golden light, which happens to hide the Hidden Blade.
