The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 554: Rebecca

Views:

When Snow saw No. 1 gradually breaking away from stealth as he crossed over, his figure appeared vaguely. His pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinholes in an instant, and a memory also flowed through his mind along with this scene.

Back then, he and his sister Letty were just unwanted orphans. After being picked up by the Stoke Empire Intelligence Agency, they immediately received hellish training. As dead soldiers, they do not need to learn aristocratic etiquette, conversation skills, basic magic knowledge, and various wilderness survival skills like other normal intelligence agents. They even only need to learn the most basic ones to read. Commonly used text will suffice.

Why? Because they are not needed, they are all disposable consumables. The Intelligence Bureau trains them just to let them die. The only requirement is that they can bring a few backs before they die. Therefore, almost 100% of the training Snow received in the Intelligence Bureau was killing skills. Traps, poisoning, assassinations, and even engraving self-destruction magic circles on your body!

As for assassination techniques, an instructor once gave them a good lesson. That person is number one.

"This technique not only requires you to have a very strong grasp of your body's balance, but also requires the precision of your fighting spirit control. Therefore, I don't require you to learn this technique. I just do it to let you understand that a A good assassin can attack the enemy from any angle, whether from the top of his head or from his feet." At that time, No. 1 showed such a set of gorgeous and deadly fighting skills, while using indistinguishable male and female skills. The voice said to the stunned dead soldiers.

When No. 1 was fighting Halson, Snow felt a little confused when he saw this action. But he didn't say it right away. Firstly, it was because the set of moves No. 1 showed when fighting Snow was very rough, and it was completely different from the moves he had seen before from the strongest assassin in the Intelligence Agency. Secondly, it was because Regner had always adopted a tacit attitude towards this strange assassin. So although he vaguely felt that something was wrong with this man, he still did not expose it immediately.

But now, No. 1 has truly demonstrated his fighting skills that can be called art. When her figure appeared under the half-circle moon, even Regnar had to marvel at the elegance and beauty displayed by No. 1's movements. Moreover... She also dressed up as a middle-aged uncle. If she had the body of No. 1... Regnar's nosebleed started to flow out as he thought about it...

Bastard! Your aunt's nose is bleeding at this time! Alexander’s life is almost gone!

Regnar realized when he was about to reach out to wipe his nose. He rushed over and pushed Alexander away before No. 1 fell.

No. 1 couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Regna suddenly taking action, but with nowhere to rely on in mid-air, she could only continue falling. She took out two throwing knives from her hands and threw them into Alexander's eyes.

But Regnar took out the black blade. He flicked his dagger to deflect the two flying knives, and then reached out to catch the falling No. 1. Although No. 1 attacked Alexander, Regnar still did not feel that No. 1 was his enemy, and he was still willing to get close to No. 1. Just the feeling of holding a middle-aged uncle in his arms made Regnar feel wet and nauseated, even though this uncle was actually a beautiful and sexy woman pretending to be...

What's even worse is that when Regnar picked up No. 1 like a princess, No. 1 seemed to feel surprised and flattered. The woman's body seemed to have lost a lot of strength in an instant. She let Regna hold her limply, and seemed to want to burrow her unshaven head into Regna's chest.

This made Regnar feel his anus tighten, and he quickly threw the middle-aged uncle out, regardless of whether No. 1 would be injured as a result.

And it turns out that No. 1 is indeed a very strange woman. When she gets close to Regnar, she sometimes becomes like a little woman who has fallen in love, with her mind filled with innocent and even somewhat brain-dead thoughts. But once she leaves Regnar, she will once again become the unpredictable, cold-blooded and deadly female assassin that makes everyone unpredictable.

The moment No. 1 landed, she rushed forward again, dragging two daggers behind her to prevent Alexander from seeing where the knives were drawn.

Alexander was also quite puzzled by the strange behavior of the two people in front of him. But this situation was naturally not the time for him to ask questions. No. 1's attack was swift and effective. Alexander almost didn't notice when she fell from the sky just now. He had no doubt that if Regnar hadn't pushed him in time, his throat might have been slit by No. 1.

This woman really wanted to kill herself.

So Alexander's expression was solemn. He inspired his sacred fighting spirit, and then he held the bright moon tightly with both hands and made the best preparation posture.

But Regnar once again blocked Alexander's path. He summoned the light-swallowing sword, staring coldly at No. 1 with his left dagger and right sword.

No. 1 gradually lost the speed of charging under Regnar's gaze. She slowly stopped and then looked at Regnar with a complicated expression.

"What are you going to do?" Regnar asked coldly. He trusted this woman almost inexplicably, and now, she actually turned her sword on Alexander. Could it be that she was using herself to get close to Alexander and then waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him

"You'd better get out of the way." Number One whispered, "I've seen it, this man must die."

"..." Alexander didn't speak. He slightly lowered the Haoyue in his hand, and then looked at the two people talking there with some strangeness.

"Is this your purpose?" Regnar's eyes suddenly turned cold. He stared at No. 1 coldly and asked sharply: "Use me to get close to Alexander, and then find an opportunity to kill him?"

"That's right." No. 1 has no boundaries, because no matter which angle you look at it, what she does can indeed be summed up in Regner's words.

"You are indeed one of theirs." Regnar did not directly say it was the Stoke Empire because he was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings among Alexander.

"No, I am yours." No. 1 shook his head: "I was born for you, so everything I do is just for you."

"Don't look for any high-sounding reasons here!" Regnar yelled angrily: "For me? Alexander is my friend, and I can't see that killing him will do me even the slightest benefit!"

"You don't know! I've already seen it!" No. 1 seemed a little anxious now. She quickly explained: "In the future, he... he will... poof!"

No. 1 suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood before he finished speaking.

"You..." Regnar took a step forward and then stepped back, he remembered. The woman No. 1 always seems to say something that no one understands, and those things seem to be taboo words. Once spoken, it will cause great harm to No. 1. She said some things before in the thousand-year-old capital. If the clouds and mountains are surrounded by fog, then blood will be vomited. It seemed that she had said something again just now.

"Ahem..." No. 1 coughed twice. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stood up. She held the dagger behind her back and pointed her index finger at Alexander behind Regna: "Get out of the way, I have to kill him. This is for your own good."

This is just like Regna. If it were anyone else, No. 1 would not bother to say anything. If anyone dared to hinder her, she would just kill that annoying guy along the way.

"Wait!" An idea flashed through Regnar's mind. He quickly stopped No. 1, and then asked: "I remember you said that those who rewrite their destiny will be affected by the laws of destiny. Punishment, right?”

"..." No. 1 said nothing.

"Although I don't know what happened specifically." Regnar whispered: "But just now, even if you just wanted to say something about Alexander, you got backlash. If you really kill him, What will happen to you?"

“…”

"Even if you don't tell me, I know." Regnar stared at No. 1 and said, "You will die too, right?"

“…”

"Don't do that." Regna persuaded her seriously. After seeing No. 1's fighting skills, Regna believed that he was no match for her, and he couldn't stop No. 1.

Because No. 1 carries out the assassination with the determination to die, and if an assassin has the determination to die, many restrictions and restraints will no longer exist. At this time, the assassin's threat to the assassination target is unquestionable.

This is also the reason why the Stoke Empire trains dead soldiers. These dead soldiers may not be as strong in level and skill as the real assassins in the Assassination Department, but because they are fearless, they can sometimes be more effective.

But now, standing in front of Regnar was the best assassin in the Stoke Empire, and she became a dead soldier again. If No. 1 is really willing to fight, there is a 80% chance that Alexander will die.

Therefore, the only thing Regnar can do now is to persuade. Snow on the other side did not leave to call for reinforcements. He saw that Regnar had some special relationship with this assassin, so he was very smart and did not choose to make this matter a big deal.

"Why do you value him so much? He will... poof!" No. 1 was punished again before he could say this.

"I do value him..." Regnar looked at No. 1 spitting out blood, and couldn't help but feel a twitch in a corner of his heart. He looked at No. 1 and suddenly recalled the conversation he had with her on the outskirts of the thousand-year-old capital a few months ago. At that time, No. 1 was also vomiting blood and looked so fragile and helpless that it was heartbreaking.

So, even though Regnar was now facing an unshaven version of Number One, he still said something almost unconsciously, "But... I don't want you to die... Rebecca..."
