Wood is a veteran spy. In the spy industry, he once almost reached the ultimate level of a mortal. Even though it has become a little dull over the years, the foundation of the past is still there, and the basic qualities are still there.
Now in the midst of crisis and pain, the dullness caused by these years of easy living was brushed away like dust, and he once again became the top spy that everyone looked up to.
In just a moment, he roughly guessed the whole story.
But he would rather be as slow as before, or worse, unable to guess anything.
He even felt that maybe he didn't notice anything, and dying just now would be the best outcome.
The situation was already clear. The Federation probably judged that he had been bribed by the Northwest Republic and would betray the Federation because the value of the intelligence he had sent back over the years was getting lower and lower. Bei Feng came here not to assist him, but to destroy him.
In fact, he had already been aware of it. According to his situation in the past few years, even if the Federation wanted to increase its manpower, it would only send someone to lead and reduce himself to a deputy. How could he send an elite spy to help him
If he wanted to send helpers, he would have sent them long ago. And there is no need to send any particularly powerful spies, as long as they can provide cover for themselves, an ordinary spy can do the job.
The Federation sent Bei Feng here, probably because after executing herself, the intelligence station still needed her to run it.
As for her method of assassinating herself, it was even more obvious - the almost unbearable pain in her body was not only the effect of magic, but also the effect of powerful poison. And this toxin can make you unaware when you eat it, and it is so powerful when it attacks. It is obviously specially designed, maybe even specially designed for you.
This really makes him feel a little sad... If he has the spirit to design a poison specifically to kill himself, why can't he send someone to help him
If they could have sent a helper earlier, would things have reached this point
The corners of his mouth turned up sarcastically. Although his heart ached, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Researching such a poison must cost a lot of manpower and material resources. Coupled with Bei Feng, a high-ranking spy... In order to kill him, we really spent a lot of money!
well! With so much time and manpower to mess around with, why not make sure first
He asked in a deep voice: "What does this mean?"
Bei Feng had already wanted to commit suicide as soon as he missed the attack, so as not to expose his secret after being caught. But seeing that Wood didn't take action immediately, some opportunities suddenly emerged - Wood had probably suffered a toxic attack, and now his combat effectiveness is limited. So he could only delay time by talking and wait for reinforcements.
Thinking of this, she didn't answer at all and rushed out of the bedroom. She took out her usual hand crossbow from the secret compartment under the bed and rushed towards Wood.
Wood did want to delay the time. He was too deeply poisoned. Although he tried to use fighting energy to temporarily suppress the symptoms of poisoning, the effect was not obvious. Now it really takes a little more time for him to try using magic to heal him again.
Of course, he guessed that magic would have no effect. But it doesn't matter. He has prepared weapons and medicines in many places in the house, including antidotes. Although it may not be symptomatic, it can at least alleviate his poisoning.
However, Bei Feng was worthy of being his outstanding junior and the new generation of ace spies of the Federation. She also judged the situation at once and immediately took the correct response.
Seeing Bei Feng rushing over with a hand crossbow, Wood sighed secretly in his heart.
The hand crossbow was carefully prepared by him. Although it was not big, its power was not small at all.
Its only drawback is that it can only fire a single shot, unlike ordinary small-hand crossbows that can fire continuously, but in terms of power, it is not inferior to military light crossbows at all.
The name "Light Crossbow" may not sound powerful at first, but in fact its power is terrifying. Unless they are some strong men who have specially cultivated protective abilities, most adventurers will almost die if they are shot in the torso without wearing armor.
This kind of crossbow is not like the heavy crossbow, which can give the crossbow arrows terrifying penetrating power, so it often pays attention to the crossbow arrows. The specially made crossbow arrows can make the wounds difficult to bandage and treat, and sometimes even quench the poison, even The power of the curse has been increased to ensure a one-hit kill.
The crossbow arrows of Wood's crossbow are poisonous, and they use extremely powerful toxins, the venom of a dangerous and highly venomous snake.
Every three days, he has to maintain this crossbow to replenish the poison of the crossbow arrows. The last maintenance was yesterday, and its toxicity should still be sufficient today. Just being scratched by the crossbow arrows is enough to make an ordinary strong man. Han lost his life.
Wood is much stronger than the average person. Under normal circumstances, if he is slightly bitten by this snake venom, it will not be too fatal. But in the current situation, he is already poisoned, and he doesn't know if he can survive it. If the snake venom is added to it, he will definitely die!
If he was in good health, he would be able to challenge the difficult task of dodging crossbow bolts, but his current physical condition is very poor, and Bei Feng's shooting skills are quite good. If Bei Feng were to take action, it would be impossible for him to dodge. In the past, it was basically impossible to survive.
So, he was left with only one choice.
There was a flash of cold light, and Beifeng's body shook violently as she raised her hand crossbow and prepared to shoot. She tried very hard to raise the hand crossbow, but her body fell down softly. Blood flowed from her chest and back. The wounds gushed out together, soaking through the pajamas in an instant, and spread on the floor, turning into a large area of bright red.
This was a flying knife thrown by Wood, which penetrated her body and destroyed her heart.
One knife kills.
There is a martial arts novel on earth. Although the protagonist in it is extremely miserable, he is good at throwing knives and is known as a good example. But when he faced a fat man like Roshan who was covered in fat, the flying knife once lost its effectiveness.
If it were Wood, this situation would never happen. When he shoots his flying knife, let alone a fat man without extra protection, even if the fat man is wearing military heavy armor, he will be shot to death by his knife.
Bei Feng was neither a master of "horizontal qigong", nor did he wear super powerful armor. If he was stabbed by him, he would definitely die.
A flying knife shot his wife whom he had loved not long ago to death, and Wood sighed deeply.
He only had time to sigh, and there was no time for more sighs.
Hurrying back to the bedroom, he took out a bottle of medicine from another hidden compartment under the bed. After examining it carefully, he opened the bottle cap and drank it in one gulp.
The potion was light golden in color and looked really beautiful. And its price is more expensive than such a bottle of gold sand.
This is an advanced detoxification potion, one bottle costs two thousand gold coins!
Generally speaking, even adventurers do not always keep such precious and overly expensive potions. They would rather use poison-slowing potions of about 200 gold coins, or poison-neutralizing potions of about 500 gold coins, such as advanced detoxification potions. This type is mostly used by rich people or high-ranking nobles.
Wood was not a rich man, but he spent most of his income on preparing various things that might be needed. A great artist's income is very high. Without considering savings, he can afford something of this level.
After drinking a bottle of potion, he immediately felt that the toxicity in his body was weakening, and the unbearable pain in his internal organs was slightly relieved.
However, the effect only goes so far.
How can this poison specially prepared by the federal intelligence agency be so easy to deal with!
Wood shook his head and took the other antidote medicines he prepared one by one. However, the effect of those medicines was far less than this bottle of high-level antidote medicine. After drinking them all, he could still feel pain everywhere in his body, especially his internal organs. sharp.
It seems that the detoxification effect can only be said to be better than nothing.
Wood was not surprised by this result. If the poison was removed so easily, he would be surprised.
Returning to the room where they were fighting just now, he looked at Bei Feng, who was still holding on to his crossbow until his death, but failed to shoot even one arrow, and sighed deeply.
"Why... why do you do this?" He shook his head and said sadly, "Why don't you talk to me? I really didn't betray the Federation!"
He is a good actor and has a hundred ways of performing "grief" if necessary.
But at this moment, his performance was unusually thin and pale. It was as if the color of his entire body had faded, and what stood next to Bei Feng's body was just a black and white sketch.
After being silent for a while, Wood took out a special powder and sprinkled it on Bei Feng's body.
This medicinal powder can effectively remove the smell of blood and avoid detection.
Then, he cast a spell to remove the smell of blood from the house.
After doing this, he wondered, what should he do next
Perhaps he could go to Archon Felix and surrender. Based on everyone's past friendship, if he surrendered, he might be given a lighter sentence.
But as soon as this thought arose, he killed it.
Absolutely impossible! He is the ace spy of the Secret Tower Federation. Even if he dies, he will die in this capacity! He will never betray the Federation!
Since he doesn't consider surrendering, he will run away now.
Bei Feng is also a public figure, and her death cannot be covered up for too long.
But...where to escape
Wood was a little confused.
He remembered the maps of most areas of the main plane continent, but now when he looked back at these maps, he felt that there was no place in the vast world where he could live safely.
escape? Where could he escape to
The Federation will not let him go. When Bei Feng's body is discovered, the Northwest Republic will also know his true identity and will probably send people to hunt him down.
Being hunted by two powerful countries in the main plane, one in the south and one in the north, he would not be able to escape even if he fled to the ends of the earth. Even if you escape from the main plane, go to some other planes, or go to the vast starry sky, you may not be able to escape.
What's more, he really couldn't find a way to leave the main plane for a while.
However, he had to escape, and escape immediately.
Unless he wanted to die, this was the only option.
Wood is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die either.
He still has many things he wants to do. For example, he wants to open a bookstore in a small town near the Supreme Tower of the federal capital after retirement; for example, he wants to return to his hometown, the famous Yunta City, and eat The most authentic hometown dish; for example, he wants to marry an ordinary wife who has nothing to do with politics or spies, have a few ordinary children, and live a stable life...
Most importantly, he wanted to understand why his superiors judged him so easily that he had betrayed and needed to be eliminated
This makes no sense!
Thinking of this, he regained strength.
Yes, he can't die yet, he still has very important things to do!
Maybe Bei Feng misunderstood the order, or maybe he made a mistake when issuing the task. Everything is possible!
If he didn't rush back to the Federation, didn't ask his superiors personally, and didn't hear the other party's answer with his own ears, he would never give up!
So before that, he can't die!
So Wood acted hurriedly. He temporarily froze Bei Feng's body with magic, hid it in a secret room in the basement specially used to hide the body, and sealed the secret room completely. Then he came back and carefully removed the traces of the fighting in the house to ensure that I can't tell what happened here.
By the time all this was done, almost half of the night had passed.
Fortunately, the nights in the north are longer, otherwise, it would be a bit embarrassing if it was dawn now!
Once he was sure that even if someone came in, no one would be able to find Bei Feng's body unless he searched carefully and it had to be a professional expert like him, then he started to pack up all the valuable items in his home and his luggage for a long trip.
Not much, just a small packet.
After everything was packed up, he put on his travel clothes, found a wooden board, and wrote the words "There is an emergency. The couple are temporarily going out. The time is undetermined. I will continue working until I get back."
On the way out, he hung the board at the door.
I believe this can also delay some time, maybe three to five days, maybe ten days, maybe longer.
By the time everything is revealed, he will probably have reached the High Tower.
From here to Void City, it would only take four or five days, relying on his foot power and not sparing physical strength. But he is not in good condition now and cannot run like that, so it will take longer.
After thinking for a moment, he went to the car dealership near the city gate and bought a carriage.
It was a good carriage, light and sturdy, and the draft horse pulling the carriage had a little bit of Warcraft blood. As long as you feed it some special food every night when you rest, it would be fine to pull the carriage for more than ten days.
Of course he also bought some of that special food, at least enough for the journey.
As for the passengers' own water, of course the car dealership also sells it, so he bought it together.
Pretending that his wife was still in the car, he drove the car out of the city gate and drove towards Void City under the cover of night.
At this time, he couldn't help but thank the Asnar Consul of Huishi City. She was the one who decided against everyone's opinions and decided not to close the city gate at night. Otherwise, he would have to wait at the city gate until dawn.
In that case, the fact that Bei Feng was not in the car might be exposed.
Now he was driving all the way. Although it was a bit hard, it was at least enough to cover up the secret.
The night was very dark, and even though he had the ability to see through the dark night with low-light vision, Wood felt that his surroundings were groggy.
Maybe... it wasn't the surrounding scenery that was dizzy, but his heart.
Above Wood's head, Sui Xiong remained silent and stared at him with pity.
Bei Feng's soul was intercepted by Sui Xiong, and he fully understood the cause and effect of the matter. I am not optimistic about the outcome of Wood's trip.
He would follow Wood until this thing was completely over.
That's when he needs to step forward.
