Chapter 100 Assassin

Moonlight walked expressionlessly down the street, having circled the street where the Thirteenth Bureau’s White Gull branch was located several times.

He said he would patrol, and he would patrol, a man of his word.

The cold moonlight of the night shone on him, as if absorbed by his body, forming a faint silvery-white light on the surface, magnificent and ethereal, giving him an otherworldly air.

Walking through a deserted alley, Moonlight suddenly turned his head, his ability [Moon Power] erupting, forming a white, glowing armor on the surface of his body. His ability amplified his physical fitness with the power of moonlight.

His eyes turned silvery-white, and his fist, wrapped in a glowing light, struck a piece of air, hitting something solid.

"Who are you?!" Moonlight shouted.

In the silver light, a humanoid outline appeared in the air.

…

Rushing back before the last sliver of darkness before dawn, Han Xiao returned to the abandoned factory with Tang Shu, who was foaming at the mouth, and returned the antiques to Li Xin.

[You have completed [Return the Antiques]!]

[Current number of participants: 1]

[Number of completions: 1]

[You returned ten antiques, you receive 100% of the reward pool]

[You have gained 102,000 experience]

This mission had no player competitors, so it was completely easy for him.

Han Xiao looked at the panel. His experience points for the past few days had accumulated to 700,000!

With the experience in hand, Han Xiao turned and left, waving his hand without taking a cloud.

Li Xin suddenly remembered that she hadn't asked Han Xiao's name yet, and felt a sense of loss. She felt that Han Xiao was like a prince in her dream, suddenly appearing to help her in her difficulties, and then quietly leaving.

Tang Shu squatted in the corner drawing circles, his style turning gray, muttering, "I never want to see you again."

The sky turned white with the first light of dawn.

Han Xiao, walking down the street, found a glass window of a street shop to use as a mirror. He saw the appearance of the simulated mask and was startled, saying, "Damn, so handsome."

"...But it's a bit worse than my real face."

Han Xiao curled his lips and saved this appearance by the way.

Just then, through the reflection in the mirror, Han Xiao saw a pair of indifferent eyes appear in the air behind him.

…

In Mo Ran's office in the White Gull City branch of the Thirteenth Bureau.

"Three killers died last night, namely Moonlight, Volcano, and Hunter," Di Susu reported to Mo Ran.

"The wounds are very similar, cut at high speed by sharp weapons, piercing the heart, cutting the throat. There were signs of resistance before death, but the clues collected from the surrounding environment show that the battle lasted no more than ten seconds. These three killers are not weaklings. Moonlight is an esper, whose ability is to absorb the light of the moon to amplify his physical strength. The murderer was able to approach these three killers silently. His strength is very terrifying."

"Is there any footage?"

"There are no surveillance cameras in the accident area, perhaps deliberately chosen by the murderer."

Mo Ran said in a deep voice, "Then are there any suspicious targets?"

Di Susu said in a solemn tone, "Possesses stealth abilities, and has extraordinary speed, easily killing elite killers and espers. There is a person in the major threat target file who matches... Hidden Demon!"

Wang Yuan, who was listening in, darkened his expression. "It's him!"

Hidden Demon, a terrifying killer, a superpowered criminal, was once a death row inmate in Ruilan, selected as a test subject for a research project. As a result, his body mutated. Except for his eyes, all of his skin and hair have a strong ability to camouflage with the environment, basically equivalent to an invisible man.

Not only that, Hidden Demon also awakened his own true ability, super reaction and agility. Relying on invisibility and ability, he escaped from Ruilan and has since been active in the underground world, becoming an extremely mysterious killer.

Wang Yuan was expressionless, his eyes cold. The price to hire Hidden Demon is astronomical. How much money did those traitors embezzle from the organization?!

Although Hidden Demon's ability is proficient in assassination, Bennett did not find it difficult. His five senses have been specially trained and are very keen. Even if he can't see, his hearing, smell, and touch are all extensions of his perception, and he will not let Hidden Demon approach Wang Yuan within ten meters.

Wang Yuan pondered, "Hidden Demon may want to eliminate my guards first. My people are likely to be in danger. Mo Ran, please ask the people who are tracking to notify them to gather now."

"Golden Fox is resting at the hotel, but that Mr. Black got rid of the tracking," Di Susu said helplessly.

Wang Yuan was stunned, and sighed helplessly, "Please send someone to look for him... alas, just do your best."

Hidden Demon is the natural enemy of snipers. Even Bennett felt that Han Xiao was likely to be in danger this time, and felt regret. Although he liked Han Xiao very much, he was responsible for protecting Wang Yuan and could not go to the rescue, so he could only pray for Han Xiao to fend for himself.

…

The moment he saw the pair of eyes appear abruptly, Han Xiao immediately controlled the magnetic-controlled armor to instantly cover the back of his neck and back. The next moment, a series of sparks splashed on the armor, as if it had been cut a dozen times in the blink of an eye by a sharp weapon.

He had long known the danger of the Fifth Ring mission and was ready for battle at any time, so he reacted immediately.

The force of impact came from behind. Han Xiao suddenly pounced forward and crashed into the store, and the glass shattered all over the floor.

"The enemy is invisible!" Han Xiao realized this problem the first moment he was attacked.

Falling into the store, the sense of crisis followed him like a shadow. The sound of someone moving quickly entered Han Xiao's ears. Han Xiao instantly slid back, drew his guns and fired, aiming at the place where the sound came from, but all the bullets hit empty air. The counters were riddled with holes, and the walls had bullet holes everywhere.

The invisible enemy scratched the armor again, making a grinding sound that made one's teeth ache.

"So fast!" Han Xiao could only rely on his reaction to control the magnetic-controlled armor in advance to resist. Fortunately, the area of the armor had reached three-quarters of his body. As long as he protected the vital parts, the enemy's threat would be greatly reduced.

The damage values displayed on the panel showed that the enemy was a high-agility attacker. Han Xiao glanced at the battle information and learned the name of the assassin.

"Hidden Demon!" Han Xiao was shocked and felt troubled.

Like the Black Spider before, Hidden Demon was also on the "1.0 Aquamarine Star Most Difficult Boss List". Invisibility and super agility, gathered in one person, makes them a natural close-quarters assassin.

"Hidden Demon is level 44, with agility as his highest attribute. His stealth ability should only target himself, so the sharp weapon he uses to attack me can only be his fingernails, and he is running around naked. This person has no hygiene...

My speed is far inferior to him. His agility tends to be short-distance sprints and evasive movements. Long-distance running should not be his strength. I can turn on the hover shoes and run away... but if I just run away like this, there will be another assassination. Let's try to take him down first. To deal with him, I must first slow him down!"

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Han Xiao's mind, and his eyes turned cold as he entered his unique state of focused combat.

Claw strikes came one after another. Han Xiao used the magnetic-controlled armor to withstand them head-on, sparks flying everywhere. He took out a handful of candy-sized miniature mechanical bees from the lining of his clothes and threw them around. These mechanical bees flew up, shining with electric light.

Electric shock bees, also known as bee swarms, have stingers carrying high-voltage current. Touching the human body can briefly cause partial paralysis. Multiple electric shock bees can even form a layer of electric net, which can be used as a control skill. This was a blueprint Han Xiao accidentally obtained while developing hover shoes.

A group of electric shock bees flew around in the small area of the store, and the effect was immediate.

Hidden Demon was able to dodge them with speed, but his movement was restricted, and the frequency of his attacks slowed down.

"Bang bang bang—"

Han Xiao's dual guns never stopped firing, but all the bullets were dodged. Hidden Demon's speed was faster than Pan Kuang's back then. Even Pan Kuang could dodge bullets, so Hidden Demon could naturally do better.

"You're good at dodging, huh? Then let's see who has more HP!"

Han Xiao's eyes were cold. He switched to a Heimdall grenade magazine and fired wildly. The green poison gas immediately filled the small space, enveloping him as well.
