Chapter 926: Assassin in the shadows

Views:

Although "Roll" is eager to come out for a stroll, but to be honest, there is really nothing to do in the southern suburbs at this time. Originally, this was a remote suburb with a sparse population, but now it is time for the whole province to cool down, and more than half of the population in the southern suburbs are elderly old men and women. At this time, there are not many people walking out on the streets against the cold wind. Hao Ren led the cat girl around the somewhat deserted streets, and met almost no one along the way, which was a good thing for him: at least he didn't have to worry about this stupid cat suddenly running to grab other people's trouser legs. There's a lot of trouble coming.

But although Hao Ren didn't meet a few acquaintances, "Roll" saw quite a few - all the wild cats around here. Just like Lily has her own Wang Zhijun, Hao Ren saw that the power under this cat's hands is not too small...

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Hao Ren deliberately chose places that were inaccessible, and the surrounding scene became more and more desolate. If he led a normal girl out, he definitely shouldn't be like this, but "Go" is a cat monster, this guy doesn't care where he is going, in fact, it is suitable for him to be able to walk in all kinds of weird and deserted streets Cat girl's heart. She was running around energetically beside Hao Ren. As long as Hao Ren was distracted, she would immediately rush to places where she was not allowed to run around, such as walls and trees, and within a few seconds, she was killed by Hao Ren. Ren yelled down: It's almost like deliberately making disobedient actions to attract attention.

They unknowingly came to a place far away from the last residential area. All the houses here are extremely dilapidated. There are no buildings with more than two floors on both sides of the road. The only places they can see are the bricks built 30 or 40 years ago. Stone bungalows, and several larger houses can be seen in front of the road, and words such as "xx Grain Station" and "xx Wholesale Department" can be vaguely seen on the mottled and peeling walls, which have almost faded into disrepair up.

This is a completely abandoned urban area, the oldest street in the southern suburbs, time seems to have stopped here, and everything has an atmosphere that only existed decades ago. The street was completely deserted after the last few families moved out of the bungalows in this neighborhood ten years ago. Has been abandoned to this day. It is said that the reconstruction project of this urban area has been listed in the plan, but it is the same as the entire southern suburb. Time is a slow thing here, and it's hard to tell when someone will renovate the dilapidated brick houses here.

Hao Ren even remembered that when he came here to play when he was very young, what he saw was the scene in front of him. Although there were still the last few families living on the west side of the street at that time, the dilapidated appearance of the street was almost the same as the completely deserted situation now. no difference.

The scene on the street reminded him of many things from his childhood, Hao Ren sighed a little in his heart, then he looked up at the old poplar trees beside the road that had lost all their dead leaves, although his body was not afraid of the cold. He still rubbed his hands subconsciously: "The weather is getting colder and colder."

Taking advantage of Hao Ren's distraction, the cat girl ran to the low wall next to her, and climbed up to the roof of a nearby private house along the wall in two or three steps. She looked around cleverly, and quickly locked on to her target: a fat pigeon parked on the ridge not far away.

"Roll" rubbed her hands happily, and suddenly felt that the meaning of her meow life had returned to herself again. She arched her body and walked cautiously along the ridge of the roof with catwalks, preparing to add a meal to herself, but this idiot But he forgot one thing: Hao Ren forcibly tied her tail inside his clothes when he went out. So the cat girl felt her body shaking just after taking a few steps forward, and she subconsciously wanted to raise her tail to regain her balance. However, in the next second, he still fell headfirst from the roof ridge. This old house that had been in disrepair for a long time couldn't stand her tossing so much, so there was only a sound of cracking tiles, and a hole was directly broken in the roof. "Go away" was stunned for a moment at first. Then he jumped up in a hurry, but fell down from the hole unstoppably.

Hao Ren was busy lamenting the passage of time. When he didn't pay attention, he found that the stupid cat beside him was gone, and then he heard the big noise made by that cat. He followed the prestige and saw the scene of "Roll" falling into the big hole, and before he could react, the cat was gone.

Two seconds later, he heard the cat girl's panicked meowing from a nearby house.

"This idiot!" Hao Ren smacked his lips and hurried towards the ruined house. He knew that all the houses here were already dilapidated, and tossing around inside with his already refined physique might collapse the houses, "Don't move around inside! I'll help you!"

Even the doors and windows of this old house, which had been abandoned for many years, were rotten. Hao Ren just pulled down the entire door of the house with a light push. When he ran in, he found that the abandoned house was completely dark, only a beam of light from the big hole in the roof allowed people to see the center of the house clearly. I saw a mess of broken tiles on the open space in the center of the room, and "Roll" was getting up from it in disgrace. He looked as embarrassed as if he had just been beaten by Doudou.

The cat girl raised her head immediately after hearing the movement at the door, and then rushed forward with a meow: "Big cat! I fell!"

It didn't sound embarrassing at all, but rather excited: it seemed that this guy completely took the accident just now as a funny thing.

"How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to run around!" Hao Ren held down the cat girl's head that was rubbing against his body, preventing this guy from trying to fool her by acting like a baby, "If you continue to do this, you will not Let you go out!"

The cat girl pouted her neck and said plausibly: "But when I was running on the roof before, I never fell off!"

Hao Ren glared: "Nonsense, how many catties did you weigh before? Don't even look at yourself now! Hurry up...huh?"

Hao Ren was just halfway through reprimanding the stupid cat, when he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill coming from nowhere, he had almost no time to think, subconsciously pushed "Roll" aside, and then jumped to the side suddenly!

However, after he dodged, the chill didn't go away at all, it kept up with his dodging movement like tarsal maggots, sticking to the skin and extending up along his limbs and bones. In the next moment, Hao Ren felt his hairs stand on end, and at the same time, the chill condensed into something like a blade that rushed towards his throat from below!

Hao Ren's muscles were tense. His eyes could see everything in the dark, but this time he couldn't see anything at all. He could only intuitively sense that a sinister blade was attacking him. At the last moment when the blade was almost attached to his skin, he turned around with all his strength and narrowly avoided it.

But avoid what? Hao Ren didn't even know what he was avoiding. He didn't see anything, only the usual air in front of his eyes, from the chill at the beginning to the "blade" in the previous moment, it seemed like an illusion, there was nothing but perception but nothing real. But Hao Ren was sure that he must have avoided some kind of attack just now, because he saw a little silver light on his skin in the dark, which was caused by the collision with something after the rigid shield was automatically activated.

After this sinister assassination mistake, the chill quickly began to subside as if it suddenly appeared, but Hao Ren knew that something "something" was still lurking beside him, and it was lurking very close. The sixth sense trained in various dangerous environments is sending out an alarm. He feels a certain cool breath hovering under his feet like a breeze, like a cheetah lurking in the grass, waiting for the prey to relax. moment.

After being pushed away by Hao Ren, "Get lost" bounced several times in a row before finally standing still. Usually, if this stupid cat encountered a similar situation, it would jump up stupidly and ask why it pushed itself, but this time even she seemed to be ashamed. A strangeness in the air was sensed. The cat girl's muscles were tense, and she unconsciously turned into a posture of arching her back on all fours. Her eyes shone slightly in the dark, and the pair of colored contact lenses used to hide the cat's pupils had been taken away by her at some point. It was taken off, and now a pair of big cat eyes are staring at the one-meter-square space around Hao Ren in the darkness.

"Meow woo woo—" Roll made a threatening sound from his throat, showing strong hostility like a wild animal.

Hao Ren asked the cat demon while paying attention to the movement around him, "Get lost, what did you see?"

"I don't know..." Roll's voice was a little confused, "I can't see it, but I can smell it, I can feel it, what a scary thing..." (to be continued~^~)
