In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Can't leave any loopholes...

"Secret passage?"

The old Taoist priest was also a little dazed when he heard Maria's words.

After a moment, her expression became complicated.

If that's the case... then what should they do?

"This is the closest distance we can reach without alerting the guards."

"If we take one more step forward, we'll most likely be discovered..."

"Even though our identities have been discovered, nothing will happen. However, Xu Zhengguan will definitely realize that he is under investigation and will be more cautious in his future actions, or even restrain himself temporarily."

The old Taoist priest's words were somewhat confusing, but judging from her meaning, she was unwilling to reveal her identity.

But Maria didn't say much.

She was silent for a few moments, her eyes silently staring at the black man stationed at the door.

At this time, the other party had taken off his hood and was calmly scanning the surrounding environment.

A vague perception spread from him, and the feeling of being in a state of panic spread from him.

In other words, this young man is the other party's alarm bell.

The two of them didn't know the extent of the other party's defense line, but... judging from Xu Zhengguan's layout at the door...

"Most likely, if there's even a little bit of an anomaly, he'll trigger the alarm."

Maria whispered to the old Taoist priest beside her.

This made the old Taoist priest feel a little embarrassed.

If their goal was to kill someone, she would definitely do it easily.

But she really lacks experience in assassination and stealth.

So does Maria.

Could it be that they have to stop their actions today?

"Do not……"

Maria shook her head and gave a negative answer.

Without hesitation, she stood up and walked towards the other person.

"Ok?"

The young man noticed Maria almost immediately, but his body didn't have time to react.

A pair of scarlet eyes were directly imprinted in his mind!

Then...

"Um?!"

The young man suddenly found himself in an unfamiliar scene.

The streets were covered with heavy snow, and on both sides, bright red lanterns cast a surprising red light.

The city lights in the distance were dazzling, dyeing half the sky, and he was standing at a corner of the road, the white snow reflecting the emotionless moonlight.

It’s cold…

"Hallucination?"

The young man immediately realized the problem, frowned, and reached out to try to pull the alarm.

But unfortunately, it was only at this time that he realized that his hands were empty.

This made him gradually feel uneasy.

"Who is it? How dare you trespass into the Xu Mansion!"

He called out loudly, trying to attract the enemy's attention, or perhaps the attention of his colleagues.

But unfortunately, this illusion was much more advanced than he had imagined.

So no matter how he called out, it was of no use.

The cold air around him became more and more obvious, so much so that his cloak could no longer provide any protection.

He felt... like he had been stripped naked and thrown into the snow.

"Tsk..."

A little impatient, he gritted his teeth and started to act.

Soon, he discovered that there was a corner in this quiet street, where a vague shadow was squatting.

The young man frowned and attacked him without saying a word!

The flying knife hidden in the cloak rushed out almost instantly, and the shadow squatting on the side of the road didn't even have a chance to resist and was directly pierced!

This made the man frown.

He walked over carefully.

But unfortunately, as he got closer, the other person's body gradually twisted.

When he got closer, there was only a blurry figure made of snow, lying on the ground.

Judging from the size, it's a child...

"Tsk..."

The man frowned, looking unhappy.

But he still kicked the snowman away, and after making sure that there was no enemy hiding inside, he gritted his teeth and continued moving forward.

The road itself was not long, but the more he moved, the more he felt a disturbing premonition.

Especially after he had walked for almost ten minutes and still hadn't gotten out of this dark path, he became even more annoyed!

But at the same time, not far from him, the figure of a child leaning on the side of the road appeared!

But the difference is that something seems to be wriggling in the darkness around!

Seeing this, the man said nothing and threw out a few more flying knives!

This time, not only the child was killed, but also everyone in the shadow was killed.

He immediately rushed over, trying to figure out what it looked like before the snow melted.

But as his speed increased, the snow on these people melted even faster.

When he got closer, there was nothing around him.

There was only a lonely flying knife, stuck in the snow.

"Tsk... Are you kidding me?"

The man frowned when he saw this scene.

But he just stood up and looked around, without saying a word, put the flying knife into his arms and continued to move forward.

But as he was walking, he suddenly shuddered and punched down on the spot!

"Oh!"

The snow flew away in an instant, blocking everyone's vision.

When they dispersed, there was no one here!

Everyone disappeared on the spot!

In the heavy snow, the man lay quietly on the ground.

He hid the brilliance of his Originium skills, and lay cautiously in the snow, silently observing his surroundings.

He was sure that the person who pulled him into the illusion was nearby. He just had to wait... After the other party found out that he was missing, he would definitely come over to observe!

Just wait...

The man gritted his teeth.

The cold air was like a steel needle, slowly penetrating his muscles.

His body was shaking, his bones were becoming brittle, and no matter how tight his muscles were, they couldn't extract much warmth.

The suffocating feeling of death enveloped him!

But even so, there was still a little fire burning in his eyes!

Dozens of minutes passed, and the man even felt that his toes had lost feeling, but he still refused to get up.

He waited...

Waiting for the enemy he identified to appear...

suddenly!

The sound of feet stepping on snow appeared in his ears!

The man's heart trembled, and he was about to raise the blade under his cloak at an almost imperceptible speed.

But when his fingers touched the tip of the knife, he was shocked to find that his body had become stiff because he had not moved for too long!

Although I still have some feeling in my fingers, I can't clench them!

He can't throw the knife anymore!

"this?!"

The man's eyes widened and his face turned pale.

The footsteps in his ears gradually became clearer, and his heartbeat became stronger and stronger.

But unfortunately, the surging blood could not break through the stiffness of his body, and he could only feel his breathing becoming heavier.

until……

"Crack..."

The sound of feet stepping on the snow appeared in his ears, and his breathing almost stopped!

Are you ready to take action?

Are you going to take action?!

Crazy thoughts kept circling in his mind, and the result was that he was unable to fight back in the first place!

A bad feeling suddenly came over him.

but……

"Crack..."

He took another step forward, but the other person seemed to be completely oblivious to the person beside him and continued to move forward.

This was so unusual that the man was a little confused.

He hesitated for a few moments and raised his head cautiously.

But when he saw the other person's back, he was suddenly stunned.

That is……

"master?!"

The man was a little bit unbelievable, but Xu Zhengguan acted as if he didn't hear it and continued to move forward.

At this time, the man also discovered that the child squatting in the corner appeared again in the distance.

Xu Zhengguan also stopped in front of the boy.

Almost in an instant, a feeling like lightning penetrated his body!

He seemed to realize who the child was, and his body couldn't stop shaking.

And just as he imagined, Xu Zhengguan said something that he would never forget in his life.

"In this cold winter, you're hiding here all alone. I see your clothes are disheveled, so something must have happened to your family..."

"God has mercy on us and has allowed us to meet. There must be a reason for this..."
