Ghost Task Force

Chapter 219 The Empty Coffin
In this attack, although some assassins were injured, and some assassins were even shot dead unfortunately, these assassin brotherhoods were able to bear it.

But now, a grenade exploded under Lei Mu's coffin, which is undoubtedly a great insult to the Assassin Brotherhood.

Under everyone's gaze, the coffin was instantly blown open.

Even Liang Ye's eyes widened at this moment.

If Lei Mu's body was blown up like this, the thousand-year reputation of the Assassin Brotherhood would be completely damaged.

Imagine a tactical team raiding the Brotherhood of Assassins, the assassins being killed is shameful enough; on top of that, the coffins were blown up by grenades.

Liang Ye couldn't imagine what kind of insult this was.

Under everyone's gaze, the coffin was instantly blown up; the coffin lid was blown up, and the sawdust flew everywhere.

Liang Ye bowed slightly, avoiding the impact of flying sawdust, then turned around and stabbed an enemy to death with the Hidden Blade.

But then, everyone including Liang Ye froze in place.

Because they all noticed the coffin that was blown up.

The reason why they froze in place was because no corpse flew out of the coffin that was blown up.

This also means that this coffin is empty, Lei Mu's body is not inside at all.

After a brief daze, everyone came to their senses and continued to attack the attackers.

Now is not the time to think about other things, the battle is still going on; it is very deadly to be in a daze on the battlefield, and a ruthless bullet may pass through the head in the next second.

The members of the Assassin Brotherhood fought back with all their strength, defeating the enemies who came to attack. When the last enemy fell, this very sudden battle finally came to an end.

More than a dozen assassins rushed to the outside of the church to protect the safety and prevent the attack from happening again.

In fact, when the funeral was held, several assassins were stationed outside.But now, the assassin stationed there has long since become a corpse.

Judging from the wounds on their bodies, it was the work of snipers.

In this sudden battle, the Assassin Brotherhood lost eight members; four were guards outside, and four were killed by bullets during the battle.

The loss of eight Assassins does not seem like a large number; but for the Assassin Brotherhood, it is a very huge loss.

It takes a year at the fastest to train an assassin, and very few people can pass the training; the average is ten to one, and only one out of ten trainees can pass all the training.And not everyone can participate in assassin training, they must be talented to be accepted.

After the battle, Liang Ye returned to the chandelier with a rope gun, and picked up Claire who was still in shock.

Claire's mother, Helen Ray, was safe and sound. When the fighting broke out, an elder protected her.

Many of the assassins were wounded to varying degrees, but not fatally.

Now, everyone's eyes were fixed on Nicholas. Except for those elders, the eyes of the rest were full of inquiries.

Why is this coffin empty?

An empty coffin meant that everyone was holding a fake funeral just now.

Without the body, the funeral would be meaningless.

Most importantly, Lei Mu was declared dead, but where is his body?
This is a question that everyone wants to understand, and among all the people present; the only one who knows is probably Nicholas, who is the Great Elder.

He was in charge of the funeral, so he had no reason not to know.What is the reason for this? Perhaps only Nicholas can answer it.

"Search a radius of two kilometers, investigate the mastermind of the attack, and clean up the church." Nicholas issued three consecutive orders.

Assassins, like soldiers, will never hesitate when receiving orders from high-level officials.

Therefore, as soon as Nicholas' fate was announced, there were assassins to execute it immediately.They didn't ask why the coffin was empty, they just knew what they were going to do now.

Liang Ye patted the dust off his body, then walked up to Nicholas.

In the battle just now, Liang Ye did not contribute the most, because he was not the only assassin present.

Seeing Liang Ye approaching, Nicholas didn't show any emotion on his old face; he just glanced at Liang Ye indifferently, and then continued to give orders to the assassin beside him.

Liang Ye glanced at the messy church hall, then looked at Nicholas and said, "Do you owe everyone an explanation?"

"Yes." Nicholas did not deny it, he said calmly: "I will explain this matter, but you have no right to know."

Liang Ye had already guessed what Nicholas would say. He just smiled lightly and said slowly, "I also encountered the same attack when I came here, but I don't think this attack was aimed at me."

Nicholas looked at Liang Ye, but didn't say anything, but continued to wait for his next words.

"I really want to know how Lei Mu died, but I want to know why his body is not here. Does it mean that Lei Mu is still alive?"

Then, Liang Ye paused, glanced at the elders next to him, and then continued: "I know I'm not a member of the Brotherhood, and I don't have the right to know. But if you let me know, maybe I can help you , Shenzhou's Strategic Defense Bureau has powerful resources."

Liang Ye persuaded him patiently that he would definitely not use strong methods against Nicholas.

This old man, who has been happy for a century, has eaten more salt than Liang Ye has eaten; playing tricks and tactics, he is completely unable to fight Nicholas.

But what made Liang Ye helpless was that Nicholas strongly rejected his proposal.

"We don't need the assistance of China."

He finished speaking in an unhappy tone. As for the reason, you can understand it after thinking about it.

Shenzhou has always rejected assassins. Although the Assassin Brotherhood has never interfered with China in the past 1000 years, it has never been recognized by China.

Assassins must be cautious before entering China. Once they are targeted by China's security agencies, they will not even think about taking action easily.

Therefore, the Assassin Brotherhood has never had a good impression of Shenzhou.Now Liang Ye also proposed to let the security agencies of Shenzhou intervene in this matter, which undoubtedly made Nicholas mad.

He values ​​Liang Ye's strength very much, but that doesn't mean he won't be angry.

Liang Ye could only express helplessness about this, he pursed his lips and said nothing more.

What Liang Ye wants to know most now is why Lei Mu's body is not in the coffin, is he not dead?
These Liang Ye knew nothing, and Nicholas didn't reveal anything to him.

If it is impossible for Liang Ye not to be irritable, he came here with a false identity under the pressure of the Strategic Security Bureau and the military; not only was he attacked twice, but also found that the coffin was empty.

If there is no explanation for what happened, Liang Ye will not let it go easily.

Nicholas didn't say anything, but it didn't mean that Liang Ye didn't have other channels to investigate.
