Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy
Chapter 178: Mutation in the Town
Where is the other person? Gu Qingzhi hadn't been to the gambling house for a long time. After thinking about it for a long time, she was not sure.
However, anyone looking for someone or information can find it in the pawnshop opposite the restaurant.
She kept walking, passing the intelligence spies in the corridor and heading straight for the bridge connecting the two places.
Faintly, the assassin's intuition told her that something was wrong.
In a gambling house, being watched is a common occurrence, but this intuition does not come from the ubiquitous eyes and ears in the house.
When she stepped onto the covered bridge, she finally confirmed what was wrong. Some of the shadows that appeared around her seemed a little deliberate.
She masked the sound of her footsteps, blocking out the clamor of the casino downstairs, the opera in the restaurant, and the whispers of the spies exchanging information. Then, an extremely subtle sound of a rope being tightened reached her ears.
Almost subconsciously, she suddenly raised her head and turned her body. One, two, three thin silk threads suddenly appeared where she had just stood, tearing the potted flowers on the corridor bridge not far from her side into pieces.
The broken petals fluttered along the covered bridge, adding a lot of atmosphere to the puppet show being performed downstairs.
But before she could stand firmly, the silk thread suddenly seemed to have a soul and wrapped around everything on the bridge, including the flower pots, passers-by passing by the bridge, and Gu Qingzhi herself.
The silk threads wrapped around her wrists and ankles, looking soft and harmless.
But the next moment, the silk thread suddenly tightened, and the unfortunate passerby beside him was like those petals, with his skin, flesh, bones and tendons cut by the silk thread, and then torn into pieces.
The splattering blood mist instantly enveloped the section of the covered bridge where she was like a red curtain, and the broken limbs and debris submerged the petals that had just fallen onto the puppet show stage.
The puppet's blood-stained face gradually became hideous and terrifying, and soon the entire stage was covered with broken pieces of corpse.
"Ah! Dead!"
A burst of screams came from the stands downstairs. The guests' shouting attracted the casino manager and thugs, and then the entire first and second floors were in chaos.
In a flash, several pieces of flower pot were thrown out in the blood mist. Before everyone could see clearly, two men in black holding silk threads had their throats cut on the corridor on the right side of the bridge and fell to the ground.
The blood mist fell, and Gu Qingzhi grabbed Lan Zhou in her hand, irritably wiping off the blood that splashed on her eyelids.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and pulled out Lan Zhou in time to cut the silk threads on her hands and feet, otherwise she would have ended up like that unlucky guy.
Before she could catch her breath, the sound of breaking air came from behind her again.
As she turned around, three flying blades brushed past her chest, ears, and eyes, and cut the straps of her mask without her noticing.
"Tsk..."
Gu Qingzhi quickly covered her mouth and nose to avoid exposing her true appearance, crouched down and used Lan Zhou to block all kinds of hidden weapons, quickly crossed the corridor bridge and hid in the crowd.
Judging from the direction, there were more than one person attacking her, at least four or five.
But she believed that she had not caused any trouble in the gambling house, unless she had a conflict with someone today, the face of the troupe owner suddenly flashed in her mind.
But would an ordinary manager really risk violating the neighborhood rules and losing his job just to teach her a lesson?
There was no time to think about it. While those people were looking for her, she quietly hid in an empty corner and pulled down a piece of curtain to make a new mask for herself.
Seeing several dark shadows appearing at the corner at the end of the corridor, she climbed out the window without hesitation.
"Separate and chase!"
The dark shadows behind him nodded to each other in tacit understanding, pushed open the door of the private room next to him, and without caring about the disturbed guests inside, climbed out of the building through the window.
Gu Qingzhi grabbed the bracket and climbed onto the second-floor roof. She looked down and saw several men in black following closely behind her, ready to surround her.
Judging from their skills, these people must be from the inner quarters.
She did not dare to be careless, and she held on to the eaves of the third floor and continued to climb up. The people chasing her were not willing to be outdone. They threw all kinds of hidden weapons to attack her and kept chasing her.
The fact that they were able to chase her so relentlessly meant that it was no longer just a lesson; they were here to kill her, so things became different.
She continued to climb while dodging, and she had already reached the fourth floor outer wall of the inner courtyard. Going up further, she would reach the roof.
However, those assassins were not fools. They knew that if she occupied the rooftop first, they would only be waiting for death.
A claw suddenly appeared and smashed the tile that Gu Qingzhi was about to touch.
Broken tiles fell, and Gu Qingzhi had to retract her hand and dodge sideways, grabbing a broken tile and throwing it at the man throwing the claw hook.
The man hurriedly blocked it with the flying knife in his hand, barely dodged it, and then slipped and nearly fell down the stairs.
Fortunately, another person arrived in time and helped him up, preventing him from falling to pieces.
Several assassins took the opportunity to approach, and saw that their prey was already attacked from both sides and was about to be cornered with nowhere to escape.
However, that figure suddenly jumped down from before their eyes.
You have to know that this is a four-story building. If you jump down like this, you will break a leg even if you don't die.
At the moment when several people missed their attack, a figure suddenly came up from the eaves under their feet. Before they could see clearly, one of the assassins was ripped open by the blade.
Immediately afterwards, the person on the other side also had his throat cut by blood, and he staggered and rolled down along the eaves.
The two words "Lan Zhou" on the blade seemed like a death warrant, and the tip of the blade looked like a sharp claw of the underworld against the backdrop of the dripping blood. Reflected in the emotionless eyes of Han Tan, it seemed as if only empty silence remained.
In the blink of an eye, only three people were left among the people who had chased after them.
Gu Qingzhi landed lightly on the eaves again without paying attention to the remaining three people. Instead, she looked carefully at the Lan Zhou in her hand.
The blood stains from the knife tip were faintly mixed with an unusual black mist.
This gave her a very bad guess.
This group of people are not only assassins, but also the Black Snake Head.
So that means Lan Zhou disappeared for three years after that night, but Zuo Chengyu never gave up on finding her and killing her.
She silently shook off the blood on the knife and faintly heard some sounds coming from the fourth floor of the gambling house.
Although she couldn't hear clearly because of the thick wall, she roughly knew what was happening and her lips curled up slightly.
One of the few windows on the fourth floor beside her was suddenly pushed open with a "bang", and a huge black shadow flew out of the window and rushed towards her.
"Lan Zhou, hide!"
As the voice floated out through the window, Gu Qingzhi responded and appeared behind a black snake head, grabbing his collar and pushing him gently.
The man's pupils dilated as he saw a heavy sword more than three feet long flying towards his face.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the heavy sword flew out of the window and accurately smashed the man's head, carrying him down into the backyard of the gambling house downstairs.
At the same time, a high-pitched whistle suddenly sounded from the backyard below.
Then, a shadow covered with black mane suddenly jumped down from the roof and bit the other person.
Gu Qingzhi took advantage of this brief gap to grab the last person and jumped down.
Three sounds of things landing on the ground one after another were followed by the crisp sound of bones breaking.
