Princess' personal painter

"Erica herself has become a target." Mia answered, and then started talking to herself, "It seems that Erica's brother has other plans?"

Pursing her lips, Erica's expression became vigilant, she shook her head and said, "Sorry, our positions are different, I can't say anything more."

"I feel like we're on the same page until we get out of here."

After a pause, Mia turned to Erin and said, "Do you know why we can't get out?"

The words of the vampire girl seemed to have a deep meaning, and Irene couldn't help being surprised: "Why?"

"We didn't know when we fell into a trap." Mia said lightly, "We were locked in a very advanced magic barrier. Even I can't do anything about the barrier. I guess it's only yours." That 'friend' has the solution."

There was a dangerous red light in the girl's gray eyes, and she looked straight at her: "Irene, this kind of net is not aimed at me, is it?"

Chapter 33 The Playboy and the Clown

"Irene, this kind of net is not aimed at me, is it?"

Irene was taken aback for a moment before she realized what the vampire girl meant. She quickly shook her head and said, "I don't know anything about it."

Mia stared at her for a while, then restrained the dangerous breath in her eyes, nodded and said:

"Irene is so easy to understand, she looks completely devoid of scheming, and she recruits them all after a little testing... You will be deceived by people like this."

While the girls were still chatting here, in a luxuriously furnished room deep in the basement of "The Finale of the Champagne Court", Yorick Swain was pacing back and forth restlessly, with a strange expression on his face. Appears impatient.He turned his head and said to another young man on the sofa, "What time is it?"

"It's just past noon, and there are still 10 minutes."

The young man sitting on the sofa is called Lucas Jacob, who is Erica's brother.

I saw Lucas maintaining a solemn expression, and solemnly said to Yorick: "When I received the letter, I have already applied for reinforcements as quickly as possible. As long as the defense here can last for 15 minutes, Your Highness's last The powerful 'Blood Sparrow' will be able to rush over."

Pausing in his tracks, his eyes touched a letter on the desk again, and he saw Yorick clenched his fist and knocked on the desk with a "slap": "Hmph, I'm kind of looking forward to the next good show. "

Lucas frowned slightly: "I advise you to be more cautious."

Yorick frowned, and said with a stern face: "I don't believe that a little killer who is not well-known and who deliberately plays tricks can get me here!"

The letter on the desk suddenly appeared on the counter before the three of them entered the restaurant without anyone noticing.There is only a simple line on the letter——

"Honorable Your Excellency Yorick Swain, I will come to take your life in half an hour. May you repent of your sins as soon as possible so that your soul will return to heaven after death. The humble Naru."

If you don't look at the content, the font is elegant and regular, and the writing is quite beautiful.

In fact, the news that someone wanted to kill Yorick, Anruel's intelligence organization had learned part of it through eyeliners a few days ago, but for some reason, they did not inform the Swain family.

When Lucas, who was the investigator, told the news in his personal capacity, Yorick was naturally skeptical.However, for the sake of safety, he stayed in this restaurant called "The Finale of the Champagne Court" during this period of time - as one of the strongholds of the Swain family, for Yorick, it was the only place It is completely under his control.

"This 'Naru the Humble' has only been a killer for a very short time, but it is said that there is no precedent of a miss."

Over the years, Jacob's lineage has withered, and as a side branch, only him and his sister are left in Lucas' lineage.Therefore, he will be very serious about every task, and will not let go of any chance of being appreciated and promoted.I saw him thinking and said:

"Since it is confirmed that someone intends to murder you, I will naturally try my best to protect you. It's a pity that there is too little information about the killer, otherwise there will be more countermeasures."

The behavior style of this exotic killer is exactly the opposite of the name "Naru the Humble" on the inscription.Before each murder, he would write a letter to the target with great fanfare to inform the other party, and every time he committed a crime, he seemed to have a very blatant style.

"Hmph, speaking of this, I'm a little curious. Are you so assured of your sister's safety?"

Yorick stared at Lucas, in fact, if it wasn't for Erica's beauty, Yorick wouldn't bother to deal with this guy with a cold face all day long.

Lucas replied lightly: "Erica is with her, no problem."

"Which one are you talking about?" Yorick asked coldly, "Just now I tested them according to what you said, but I didn't find anything..."

Lucas was silent for a while, and he became aggressive just hearing Yorick's tone: "Are you hiding something... Something weird, isn't it the one with the strange name Mia? What did you find? Want to Do you want to take all the credit in one fell swoop?"

Lucas had a sullen face and didn't respond to him. The atmosphere in the room was a little stiff for a moment.

"In your so-called 'intelligence department', there are all yin and yang guys who like to spy on others secretly. But, it's quite suitable for you... I hope that your highness, who is in charge of managing you, will not be infected with any strange habits. That's good."

Yorick, who was chattering, seemed more like venting something, with a bit of ruthlessness in his eyes: "There is someone who wants to kill me, if you let me know who it is, hehe..."

At this moment, Lucas suddenly raised his head and frowned: "It seems to be here."

……

When "The Finale of the Champagne Garden" enters a defensive posture and unfolds the enchantment, if one observes it from the outside, this inconspicuous restaurant seems to be hidden, and its existence cannot be seen at all.

What is displayed in front of my eyes is only the seamless wall surface, which still has a very real touch, and is extremely hard. It seems that there is no way to use violence to break through.

Using high-end magic technology to drive magic crystals to simulate real magic effects is indeed what the Swain family's products are best at. It also has an excellent effect on defense.If it was an ordinary killer, he would be powerless just facing the outermost barrier, right?

This is no ordinary killer.

Wearing a tuxedo, a top hat, an ugly clown mask on his face, and a windy red cape behind his back—the visitor stood right in front of the "wall" in such an arrogant attire.

From the perspective of others, the guy who appeared in this costume probably has bad taste and is a little neurotic, right?

Because of this style, the killer who humbled himself as "Naru the Humble" would leave an extremely deep impression every time he was at the scene of an attack. Therefore, he was also called "Scarlet Clown".

Not only does it kill the target, but it also creates chaos and spreads fear. This is also the biggest reason why the "Bloody Clown" was chosen by the employer this time.

Of course, it was the first time in the "Bloody Clown"'s career as a killer that he committed such an arrogance in broad daylight in the capital block of one of the most powerful countries on the mainland.

Most likely it will be the last time too.

I have made as much preparation as possible, but I am still not fully sure.It's just that "he" seems to enjoy the feeling of putting his life on the line, and a strange smile cracked on his mask.

The show begins now.

Chapter 34 The Clown's Performance and the Scarlet Curtain

In a leisurely afternoon, in a remote neighborhood in Karenin City, the atmosphere was a little deserted, but an absolute danger was brewing.

"Joker" took out several bright red crystals from his bosom, and with a little force in his hand, embedded them one by one into the "wall" of the barrier in front of him.As several crystals were nailed in, tiny cracks appeared on the integrated "wall", and at the same time, the crystals began to reflect the shining light.

After doing this, "Joker" stepped back to a slightly further distance.

"He" raised his head, the half-crying, half-smiling treacherous mask on his face faced the warm sunshine, narrowing his eyes as if enjoying himself, feeling the leisure at the last moment.

It seems too extravagant to use expensive magic materials to destroy the enchantment based on the principle of mutual repulsion.

Simple and crude, but very effective.

From the corner of his eye, the "Joker" saw the bright red crystals nailed into the barrier, which burst into a dazzling red light in an instant, even overshadowing the sunlight in the daytime.

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly exploded in my ears.

I saw "Joker" elegantly rolled up his cloak to block the incoming debris.After waiting for a while, the buzzing in his ears gradually weakened, and the overwhelming red light in his vision disappeared. He patted the dust on his body, and walked towards the "hole" of the barrier that was blasted in front of him.

After walking a few steps, there was a sound of "whoosh", and something hit me head-on.

"Joker" turned sideways slightly, and easily dodged the deadly crossbow.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a dagger from his arms, held it in his hand, and assumed a defensive posture.

Immediately, amidst the continuous sound of breaking through the air, "Joker" walked forward like a stroll, while dodging most of the crossbow arrows that were shot.

If there is no room to dodge, use a dagger to pick it off.

After a series of "Dang Dang" sounds, "Joker" walked to the hole that was blasted. Behind him, there were scattered metal arrows all over the place.

Before the smoke and dust cleared completely, "Joker" was about to step into the interior of the building, but the long swords that came from both sides blocked the front—obviously, this could not stop his steps at all.

While pulling away the long sword on one side, with the help of the reaction force, the dagger slashed across the wrist of the guard on the other side, and burrowed into the building sideways.Almost at the same instant, he threw the dagger in his hand without looking at it.

Hearing a scream, the guard in the corner who was holding a hand crossbow and was about to throw an arrow in the back looked down at the dagger stuck in his chest in disbelief, and fell to the ground.

The next moment, several guards who wanted to stop him were all knocked down by his treacherous skills.

With a top hat, a tuxedo, and a terrifying mask on his face, the guards were frightened by his strength for a moment and did not dare to step forward.And since just now, the "clown" who hasn't stopped walking has been scanning the surrounding environment with those indifferent eyes while advancing into the depths of the building.

Obviously, the three girls who unexpectedly appeared in his field of vision surprised him for a moment.

Among the three, the girl with blond hair was trying her best to calm herself down, but her trembling body due to fear betrayed her; the other girl with chestnut hair, who looked a little familiar, was more stable in mood, the pure and flawless pair In his eyes, there was a curious look towards this side.

And what "Joker" is quite concerned about is the girl with blue-gray long hair, elegant clothes, and delicate face. She is looking at this side with an indifferent expression, and the gray eyes reflect a subtle color of blood. .

Smelling danger from it, "Joker" immediately judged that she was a character not to be messed with.

Fortunately, the other party seems to have no intention of intervening.

In the midst of flashing thoughts, "Joker" stopped his progress. He took off the top hat on his head, bent slightly, and bowed to the guards surrounding him.

Just when others were puzzled by this weird behavior, thick smoke suddenly rose around him, and the smoke spread rapidly, almost blocking everyone's sight.

"No, stop him!" The head guard changed his expression, shouted and ran towards the secret passage.

Hearing the words, the other guards also came to their senses, and quickly gathered around the chief guard, guarding against any possible changes in the smoke.

Unexpectedly, their flustered actions just happened to guide the direction for the "clown".

A strange smile floated on the mask, he stretched out his hand and untied the bright cloak behind him, hung it on the counter, and walked into the inconspicuous passage easily while taking advantage of the confusion.

"I see, he is here, surround him!"

Not long after, when the smoke gradually dispersed, the guards realized that what they were surrounded by was just a cloak.It wasn't until this time that the head guard realized that he was being played by the other party between the applause, and his face became quite ugly.

He stared at the opened secret passage, thinking of the deadly mechanisms inside, he couldn't help hesitating, and thought: The young master is protected by other experts, if even they can't protect the young master, he and the dozen or so His subordinates will also be powerless.

It is better to be punished afterwards than to lose one's life for no apparent reason.

On the side of the three of Irene, they saw that the closed barrier was broken, and they also witnessed the whole process of the ghostly "clown" breaking into the depths, and they each had different thoughts.It's just that in the current situation, it is natural for them to leave as soon as possible and stay away from the incident.

Mia pulled up Irene who was still in a daze, and also woke up Erica, who was a little out of her mind, and was about to escort the two "friends" away—at this moment, another group of people broke in suddenly.

The dozen or so people who came in were all dressed in civilian clothes, but their movements were uniform, and they looked like well-trained soldiers.Seeing the arrival of "reinforcement troops", the chief guard heaved a sigh of relief, stepped forward and said to the headed man with the scar face:

"That assassin's skill is too strong, he just broke through..."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly stopped, and the chief guard lowered his head with a shocked expression, only to see a dagger sticking out of his chest, and dazzling blood was continuously oozing out.He raised his head and saw the chill on the opponent's face, and realized that this group of people were not "reinforcements", but it was too late.

When the head guard's body twitched and fell to the ground, the man with the scar face ordered in a deep voice, "Kill!"

Immediately afterwards, when he saw that there were still three girls in the building, he was obviously stunned for a moment. After a moment of hesitation, he narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "No one will be left alive!"

This reoccurrence of the accident made Mia's complexion change.The aura of this scar-faced man is comparable to that of the "clown" just now. Even she couldn't bring Erin and Erica out of the siege unscathed, not to mention that there are more than a dozen powerful people on the other side. men.

After thinking for a while, Mia calmly said to the two people behind him: "Let's retreat to the corner first, just hide behind me, don't run around!"

While backing away, Irene held Mia's hand tightly and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay?"

"Don't worry." Mia said calmly to the scar-faced man vigilantly.

As for Erica, who had a rather ugly face, she had no choice but to rely on Mia under such circumstances.I saw her timidly grabbing the corner of Mia's clothes, biting her lip and not daring to breathe.
