Vegas, two hours after Iron Salamander was killed.
In the hotel room, Gilson II was watching a show, not on television, but live. The content is actually very boring. A fourteen-year-old girl, after being given "drug", mutilated herself with a dagger, that's all.
For this aristocratic man who has lost most of his physiological functions but is obsessed with power, this is the most exciting way of entertainment he can find. Watching a healthy and perfect life wither and become incomplete before his eyes can bring him great satisfaction. He will sleep on that bed full of blood tonight, smelling the smell of blood, so that he can have a good dream.
Today's show ended quickly. After dozens of cuts, the artery was cut. The girl fainted due to excessive blood loss. Gilson II saw her motionless for a long time and touched her beside the wheelchair angrily. A few keys were pressed on the screen, and then several medical staff quickly entered the room. The count said: "Follow the old rules." They carried the person out.
The so-called old rule is to give the girl's family a sum of money, a fee that can shut them up forever. In fact, for the nobles, this amount of money is not much. Twenty years ago, Gilson II A sports car when I was in college was something a civilian family couldn't afford even if they didn't have enough food or drink for a lifetime.
Sadly, the teenagers who "performed" for Gilson II over the years were basically voluntary, or in other words, decisions made jointly by their families. This is also a kind of helplessness. If a nightmare experience can be exchanged for food and clothing for the rest of their lives, many people will choose to do so. Because their original life was just another kind of nightmare, long and impossible to wake up from.
Wei Sheng passed by a group of people carrying a stretcher in the corridor. He glanced sideways at the girl and sighed slightly. Although he was disgusted with the earl's hobby, he was dependent on others and the rewards were generous. He did not want to lose this way of wealth in order to uphold some kind of justice that had no interest in himself. Anyway, these children rarely die and can basically be rescued in time. At most, they will suffer some mental or physical disabilities in the future, or become enemies with their parents.
"Wei Province." When they arrived at the door, before knocking on the door, Gilson II had already opened the door with the computer at hand and asked a question: "Did the Iron Salamander succeed?"
The hotel itself was secretly funded and built by Gilson II. The entire building was like an extension of his body, so Wei Sheng was not surprised by the count's actions. He just entered the room, opened the door casually and said: "His body was buried." The Maple Leaf County Police Department discovered that the local HL has taken over the incident. I have communicated with them through some channels and asked them to declare that a tourist named Rhoda Rich accidentally fell into chemicals from a nearby factory. He suffered severe burns all over his body and died on the street."
"Trash!" Gilson II roared loudly, "What kind of powerful ability user! They are all trash! What level is that snake gambler! How much does it cost me? What level of people do I need to hire to catch him!"
Wei Shengdao: "Of course he is also a strong-level person. There are not many people in the world who are more than fierce." What he meant was that a strong-level person is the highest level you can hire. No matter how high-ranking a person is, money may not buy him. Come on.
"Then why is Iron Salamander dead! Aren't they at the same level?!" Gilson II shouted.
Wei Shengdao: "It's the gap in combat skills."
Gilson II calmed down a little and replied through gritted teeth: "So... what should we do now? Let him escape?"
Wei Shengdao: "No, based on his previous performances, he may come to you on his own."
"What?!" Gilson II's pupils shrank instantly, and fear rose in his heart, as if the horrific scene many years ago had not yet ended.
Wei Shengdao: "I thought that he asked Qiao Dun to send you a message just to make you suspicious of Qiao Dun. But Tie Shu's death and some of the things he said to Tie Shu made me feel... He was serious. of."
When Wei Sheng left, Gilson II's emotions were very complicated. His original policy of insisting on capturing people alive had changed to wanting to see people alive and bodies dead. Obviously, what he is more worried about now is not that the pleasure of revenge will not be satisfied, but that the snake will come to his door.
Wei Sheng disagreed with this. In his opinion, although Betting Snake was strong, he was not so powerful that he could kill him on his own. After all, Gilson II still had some powerful characters.
This Wei Sheng is a paper-level ability user. Although he may not be very strong in combat, he is good at intelligence collection and analysis. His ability is to control the actions of animals, and he can share the vision and hearing of the controlled animals. As long as it is an animal that has been connected to Wei Sheng's spirit, no matter where it is or how far away from him, it can be controlled again at any time, and he can also communicate with other animals through the sight of this connected animal. Make a connection. So Wei spent many years studying bird migration, which gave him eyes and ears in almost every corner of the world. This seemingly perfect surveillance network actually has many drawbacks, such as the inability to monitor places where animals cannot fly, and the need to frequently change the objects of mental connection, because after all, those animals are in the food chain, and death is inevitable.
Of course, Wei Sheng can only connect to one animal at a time, otherwise he will have a mental breakdown. The animal to be connected must first have a brain, and slugs and starfish will definitely not work. Secondly, the brain must be larger, so insects No, third, the brain cannot be too smart, so neither can humans.
Even though there are many restrictions, Wei Sheng's surveillance and tracking capabilities are still very strong. They are more reliable and more difficult to detect than directly dispatching humans. However, the disadvantage is that he cannot control animals and keep an eye on them 24 hours a day. Others, so this kind of surveillance still has to be completed alternately with the killers rushing to the local area.
As for analytical ability, Wei Sheng is naturally much better than a guy like Qiao Dun who is fake and elegant but really stupid.
Taking the battle between Gambling Snake and Iron Salamander as an example, Wei Sheng watched the whole process with the eyes of a pigeon, which also made him deeply understand the terror of the Qian Ming Assassin.
The initial shot hit the iron salamander's four possible vital points, its head, heart, abdomen, and knees. Iron Salamander did not dodge because his iron scales could withstand bullets. Almost instantly, Gambling instinctively used his hidden sword to attack his throat. This time Iron Salamander blocked the attack with his hands, which directly exposed his first weakness, his throat.
Then, the gambling snake decisively abandoned the weapon, avoided continuous contact with the opponent, and tried an attack with a grenade. The results proved that the shock wave and shrapnel generated by the explosion were ineffective against the iron salamander. It can be seen that regardless of how many weaknesses the iron salamander has, it can be Seeking, at least the ranged damage is not enough to threaten the strength of its vital points. It must be effective with precise and powerful attacks, and the power of the attack must be at least stronger than the shrapnel flying out after the explosion of ordinary bullets and grenades.
After that, Gambling Snake asked the opponent's name. This was a sign of weakness, pretending to attach great importance to the enemy, but it was actually a trap. He did this deliberately to give his opponent the illusion that Gambling Snake was at a disadvantage and was against Tie. The strength of Salamander was astonishing. As a bystander, Wei Sheng knew very well that at this point in the battle, Gambling Snake was unscathed, while Iron Salamander had already withstood many blows. Even though it was not very effective, the tactical advantage was obvious.
Sure enough, Iron Salamander took the bait. He attacked unscrupulously, attacking from top to bottom. At this time, Gambling Snake raised his soft sword and stabbed. In addition to neutralizing the opponent's attack, the other purpose was to test the dynamics of Iron Salamander. Vision and split-second reflexes. You can't measure a person's limits when he's standing on the ground. Only when he's attacked in the air and has nowhere to rely on, can you tell how far he can dodge.
Then, Gambling Snake once again distanced himself, and while Tie Salamander's footing was still unsteady, he used three flying knives to target the eyes, throat, and ankles, all of which were Tie Salamander's weak points. The weakness of the throat was exposed at the beginning; the eyes were the first part covered by the iron salamander's hand when the soft sword stabbed the face; and the ankles were another test.
One thing Wei Sheng didn't realize was that the speed of these three flying knives was actually slowed down by Gambling Snake. If Tie Salamander had no time to react, the attack would have lost its value.
As a result, Iron Salamander blocked two flying knives and dodged one. He became angry and went on a rampage to kill them. At this time, Gambling Snake, who was already some distance away from the Iron Salamander, got the last thing he wanted to know, which was the Iron Salamander's fastest running speed.
At this point, the battle has officially begun. Gambling Snake has already learned the opponent's speed, reaction power, weaknesses and the minimum strength to break through the weaknesses. Knowing these is enough. It is meaningless as to how strong the opponent is, how powerful the non-vital parts can withstand the attack, how resilient they are, etc.
Don't let the opponent have a chance to hurt you, quickly find and attack the key point accurately, and kill the opponent with one blow. This is the assassin.
It can be judged from the reaction of the iron salamander to the attack on the ankle. The joints on the iron salamander's body that need to be stretched and bent have weak scales. Starting from these places can also abolish the iron salamander's ability to move.
Therefore, Gambling Snake stopped and launched an attack with a speed that exceeded the fastest reaction of Iron Salamander and with a strength that exceeded the endurance of Iron Salamander's weak points. This attack determined the winner.
Wei Sheng watched the duel from beginning to end. He thought that if someone with the same physical ability as Betting Snake were to fight Iron Salamander, the battle would be won, but that person might be injured or even injured. It was a miserable victory, because you went back and forth and used fists and kicks to find weaknesses. It was definitely not as efficient as betting on snakes.
Every move that Betting Snake makes is meaningful. He does not waste any physical energy and does not let the opponent take any advantage in the battle. The most terrifying thing is to induce the opponent's psychological state through small actions, so that he can survive unscathed. Kill your opponent.
It was precisely for this reason that Wei Sheng said to Gilson II: "It's a gap in combat skills." This conclusion.
… …
On the other hand, Bet Snake's situation after that day was not easy either.
Gilson II had many minions, from Europe to the Americas, and the hunt for Gambling Snake had never stopped, but there were no masters like Iron Salamander, and the Qiaodun never appeared again.
In the past two weeks, the killers have been following him everywhere. Even though the gambler changed his false identity many times and even passed the airport security check, he could never get rid of them. Of course, they didn't dare to compete head-on with Gambling Snake. After all, even the strongest masters had been killed. I'm afraid those who tried hard would die in vain. Most of these killers use sniping, poisoning, and sneak attacks. Unfortunately, they failed, and they lost some men.
In front of a master like Gambling Snake, their methods were like child's play and not worth mentioning at all. The killer's first weapon is a sniper rifle, and the last weapon may be just a knife. The closer you are to the target, the more superb skills are required. Beginners use firearms to stay away from the target, while masters can move at any distance with ease.
As for the situation where his whereabouts were always captured, Gambling Snake quickly understood. He ruled out all possibilities of being tracked. The last method that could not be ruled out was tracking by ability users.
So, he carefully checked the contents of the Book of Heart and targeted another ability user under Gilson II. This person was Wei Sheng.
After ordinary people learned about this situation, they might start shooting and killing small animals indiscriminately, but Betting Snake didn't. He thought of a plan to use Wei Sheng's ability to his own advantage.
Tom Stoll might not have come up with this strategy a month ago, but now, he has the powerful support of the Book of Hearts. As the distance between the enemy and the enemy gets closer and closer, the instinct to kill snakes becomes more and more sensitive and sharp...
