The only people who could be called guards were gatekeepers at best, and after that only a few clerks and maids could be seen.

Seeing this, one might even wonder if Rosso had abandoned the city of Philos and fled early.

But now, Luo Zuo was sitting deep in the ruler's chair, without even making any movement.

Is she planning something? Bruda's eyebrows twisted strangely, and an invisible, creepy feeling enveloped her stomach, causing her eyes to narrow into slits.

Luo Zuo is a traitor, and so-called traitors are mostly cowardly by nature.

Generally speaking, people think that what they can do, others should be able to do as well. Therefore, those who betray others will be toyed with the fantasy of being betrayed until their death.

Therefore, they are basically provided with soldiers and guards to protect their lives.

But now, the situation in this mansion doesn't seem to be like that at all. It even seems that the security system is even weaker than usual.

But to call it a trap is too crude, and even if it is really a trap, it is completely unclear who it is intended to lure in.

After all, when a trap is set, it is usually when the intention is to devour and kill someone.

So, what's going on now? Bruda bit his lip, several scenarios swirling in his mind.

After thinking about it several times, she narrowed her eyes and calmed down the hesitation in her heart.

All I have to do is kill him, I don’t have to care about anything else.

Anyway, even if this guy named Luo Zuo or something is thinking about something, it won’t have any impact on me.

Besides, should I just tuck my tail in and run away like a lizard because of my doubts?

If I risk my life to sneak into this city, but end up accomplishing nothing, I might even be branded as stupid by my employer in the end.

That's absolutely not possible.

I give up. I never thought that I was such a vain person.

Until now, his mind has been occupied with his sister Vistalinu. It is so embarrassing that he has such humane thoughts when he relaxes a little.

Outside the window, Bruda let out a quiet breath and jumped along the red brick roof to a spot next to the ruler's room.

She sat on the red bricks and slowly approached the window.

Although the ruler's chair was still some distance away from the window, if a surprise attack was launched, he could pounce on it in a few breaths. It was just this distance away.

From here, Bruda could already see Rozo's profile, and she believed that her long needle could hit the head in one go even with the window blocking it.

Bruda is very confident about the accuracy of his throwing.

She gently bent her fingers, clamped the two long needles between her fingertips, and then listened quietly, matching the target's breathing, erasing her own existence as if blending into the night, and quietly fading away her consciousness.

Bruda had heard somewhere that an assassin was like that, although she didn't know if she could do it now.

After a few breaths, Bruda felt as if she could hear Rozo's heartbeat through the window, and her body seemed to have turned into the night itself.

——whoosh——whoosh

When I came to my senses, the long needle had already slipped out of my hand, passed through the window, and flew towards the target with the wind, making minimal sound.

The hand movements, the coordination of breathing, and the amount of strength injected were all so perfect that one could even be sure that nothing in this world could avoid it.

Bruda hid his figure outside the window, and the scene of the long needle piercing Rosso's face clearly appeared in his mind.

That guy must have spurted blood without even noticing the needle. This was what appeared in Bruda's mind, a feeling that was almost like a prophecy.

In other words—after a few moments, it became a clear reality.

The long needle thrown by Bruda with one hand was at least not an ordinary thing that Rosso could dodge.

Luo Zuo opened his eyes wide to welcome the long needles, and two long needles pierced into his head and eyes respectively.

The sticky, red-black blood splattered everywhere, covering Rosso's hair and beard. The amount of bleeding was enough to kill someone.

Bruda's hands also miraculously felt the touch of the long needle piercing his flesh, just like a famous archer can remember the feeling of the arrow hitting the target.

The fingertips could indeed feel the needle stirring the skull and brain, which meant that Luo Zuo's death was certain.

Because he was so sure of it, Bruda's face turned pale and he instantly jumped out of the windowsill, not even paying attention to the sound of the red bricks collapsing.

Because at the moment when the long needle pierced Luo Zuo's head, a voice was heard in the room.

"Have you ever heard the voice of God?"

Along with the sound, the window frame that Bruda had been leaning against was inexplicably crushed and thrown into the air, as if it was violently swung out by something powerful.

The sound of shattering glass echoed in the darkness, but now was no time to dwell on that.

Cold sweat broke out on Bruda's forehead, and his throat made an unconscious swallowing sound.

"I've heard it said by God, who shamelessly looked down on me."

It was like the sound of crawling on the ground.

Maybe the blood blocked his throat, so the sound was like the vomiting of a drowning person, but the voice was still calm. It was really creepy, and it felt like it was not the voice of a living person.

With his feet on the windowsill, Luo Zuo leaned out. He looked human, a being composed of skin, flesh, and bones.

But what are those long needles stuck in the eyes and head? What are those eyes that glow in the darkness like fire? What is that breath that can even feel heavy pressure?

It looked like the manifestation of a demon. A demon—no, a demon whose name had been etched in history.

Looking at Rosso standing on the red brick roof, Bruda couldn't help but take a step back.

What should she do? What should she do now? Bruda kept thinking about how to deal with the situation in her mind. However, no matter how she summarized it, her thoughts disappeared in confusion and hesitation.

Luo Zuo pulled out the needle from his face and said

"—My enemy will come here. Assassin, I'm sorry, but I won't die. And that evil person came here only to die."

Rozo, took a step forward.

Just like that, the red brick fell down automatically, as if it was crushed by the huge mass.

Bruda said, twitching his cheek and tucking his chin.

"——Okay. Well, if I kill you before then, my employer will approve of me."

Just like that, Bruda also took a step forward.

Chapter 27 The Burning Man

The roar shattered the red bricks, sending them flying out, and the figures flying in the dark sky looked like a swarm of bats.

All that happened was a wave of Luo Zuo's arm.

Although Luo Zuo's arm was not slender, it was still just a human arm. It was impossible to see that the arm could bounce off the red bricks on the roof. That was simply impossible.

If, it is normal.

In other words, it was an anomaly… Bruda whispered in his heart, and a silver flash popped out from his fingertips.

The needle seemed to dive into the waves of red bricks, and the long needle aimed at Luo Zuo's neck and heart accurately passed through the gap.

Faced with this kind of anomaly, I don’t know how effective this little trick will be, but it’s better than doing nothing.

Was his needle no longer effective against that man called Rosso? He ignored these concerns and pierced Rosso's head and heart with disappointing ease, his blood disappearing into the night.

This is a particularly long needle with barbs attached. If you try to pull it out forcibly, the throat or heart will rupture, and death will undoubtedly occur.

Bruda bit his lip and turned his gaze to Rosso's body.

If you can't even deal with an opponent like this, it's better to seriously change your common sense.

After all, whether it's a human or a monster, if their core is destroyed, they will usually die.

"God said. You are a fool who abandoned salvation and pursued your own desires."

However, as if mocking Bruda, Rozo grabbed the long needles stuck in his neck and heart with both hands and pulled them out directly, as if the sharp barbs did not exist at all.

Naturally, blood rushed out from the heart like a turbid stream, the skin on the head bounced up, and the body turned black and red.

Even so, Luo Zuo took another step forward without showing any fear.

Red bricks flew everywhere, and Bruda felt something like a heavy pressure approaching his cheek.

"That's why it's like this now."

The moment Luo Zuoyu touched his earlobe, it felt as if something disgusting was licking his spine.

It was obvious that what the other party said was just a boring joke, but even so, after seeing his current posture, there was still a strange sense of oppression.

As if trying to escape from the heavy air, Bruda kicked the roof and jumped up.

It's not that she's bad at acrobatic stunts, leaping around on unstable footing; on the contrary, that's her area of ​​expertise.

Twisting his body in the air, Bruda threw several long needles at Rosso again, this time aiming at his knees.

What kind of structure is it, and what kind of existence is it? How can it be killed?

Faced with the extremely unusual enemy in front of her, Bruda really didn't know where to start. It would be better to say that she even wanted to turn around and leave, regarding her experience as a nightmare.

No, of course we should do that now.

Generally speaking, as an assassin, you should retreat when the other party notices you.

But at this moment, that was no longer an option, and Bruda kicked that idea away early on.

Rosso said that Evil, Murphy will come here.

What would he do when he saw this enemy? Generally speaking, he would retreat immediately, after all, it would be very strange to face such an unknown monster as an opponent.

This was clearly the case, but the incredible thing was that Bruda could not imagine his employer turning his back to this monster. He could even imagine him raising his cheek, holding a cigarette in his mouth and saying, "So, how should I kill you?"

That's why we can't retreat.

Bruda opened her eyes wide and jumped up and down on the roof. Every time her toes touched the roof, she would throw long needles at Rozo.

Next come the elbows, then the wrists and ankles.

Even if it's a monster, as long as the needle can penetrate the flesh, there might be a chance to nail the joints.

The possibility may be slim, but it is still worth a try.

Because he, the employer, is his benefactor.

Although she couldn't stand the way he spoke about her affairs as if he knew everything, she was also dissatisfied with the way he ordered her around.

But, it was also because of him that he was able to hold Vestarinu's hand again.

This body, which was already only a dead and tattered remains, barely managed to survive.

Yes, that's right, I finally understood that I wanted to repay the favor.

Just like Vestarinu, no, I must have owed my employer a greater debt.

Because of this, I decided to follow him again.

It must be like this. How can you do such a thing as being granted a favor unilaterally and then leaving in a hurry without giving anything in return?

Bruda smiled faintly and looked at Rosso, who took the long needle with his body without any evasion.

That's why I have to kill that monster—no, that demon—right here.

Even if the enemy is immortal, I will kill him for you to see.

Just as Bruda was thinking this, he moved his limbs and prepared the needle again.

Suddenly, a sense of comfort surged to my fingertips, a feeling that I had not felt until just now.

——The needle is very hot.

Although it was not unbearable, there was indeed heat on the needle.

It's the period of dead snow now. The needles may be frosted, but they will definitely not generate heat for no reason. Could it be that I'm holding it too tightly in my hand?

Thinking of this, Bruda bent his fingers and picked up a needle again.

Still, very hot.

Something was wrong. There was no doubt that the needle itself was hot, and the heat was gradually getting stronger as if it was about to burn.

It was hot, hotter, scalding hot, to the point where it was impossible to hold it.

This? What was this abnormality? Instantly, Bruda's heart began to beat violently, and he immediately turned his gaze to the demon before him.

Luo Zuo's eyes glowed brightly in the darkness as if they were burning. They were definitely not human eyes.

"You're not going to lose the needle? Then just stand there like a bronze statue or a stone."

As Luo Zuo said that, the long needles that pierced his limbs made whimpering sounds, smoke appeared on the long needles, and they twisted and rubbed, making a creaking sound.
