Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

His body was cut by fragments in many places and his back was burned, but none of these injuries were as serious as the impact of the axe. His body was smashed heavily to the ground and a mouthful of blood immediately spurted out of Su Mo's mouth.

Fortunately, the earth was not as hot as imagined.

Water vapor was rising, and the original sewer was now like a steamer.

His eyes were fixed on the figure that was also falling from the sky. Su Mo leaned on the sword with one hand and supported himself on the ground with the other, trying to stand up. However, he was only halfway through the movement when he felt a strong wind coming from behind.

There is a third person... He made a quick judgment with his extremely calm mind. In a flash, a long metal needle flew up as his eyes turned back subconsciously.

His peripheral vision locked onto the person approaching, but the movement of his head turning back suddenly stopped.

The brain is imprisoned.

A pair of strong hands restrained his head.

Realizing what would happen next, Su Mo controlled a flying needle to pierce behind him at the last moment, while reaching into the prop bag.

"Click~!"

In the steaming water vapor, the hazy figure tilted his head back to avoid the flying needles, but the hands that were restraining his head did not stop at all and quickly exerted force to twist.

Without any surprise, the spine broke and the sound symbolizing death was rang out.

Chapter 167: Wet Shoes.

The hands that were twisting left and right separated naturally. Because of dodging, the force was not complete, but it was obviously enough.

Even if his heart wasn't a weakness and he could control metal, so what? He was only a Level 2 after all. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't survive this kind of strangulation technique.

This is the confidence of an older assassin.

His neck was twisted forcefully, and his body, out of control, collapsed to the ground... He dodged the flying needles and stood up again. The assassin, who was surrounded by water vapor, saw this clear scene but did not choose to retreat. Instead, he took a step forward and quickly drew the dagger from his waist.

Since the other party clearly said he wanted his head, he naturally had to take this guy's head back.

"?"

There was no hesitation in his movements. The unsheathed dagger drew a semicircle and he could chop towards the neck by lowering his body. But at the moment when the assassin was about to lower his body to strike, he suddenly noticed something strange.

The water vapor obscured his vision, but it couldn't completely block it. There was obviously no sign of forced twisting on the neck, not even a trace. Instead, a layer of metal was rapidly spreading up from the back.

"!"

Clues appeared, and more abnormalities were revealed.

All the injuries on the other party seemed to have disappeared...

Realizing that this was simply unbelievable, the assassin almost instinctively stopped his attack, and instead of advancing, he retreated, forced himself to retreat, and retreated violently.

"Come on..."

Along with an abnormally hoarse voice, a figure fell from the sky, broke through the vapor the moment it hit the ground, and quickly approached.

"…Don't get close to him!"

Hearing this reminder, the approaching figure paused, and the only exposed eyes on his face immediately stared at the figure lying on the ground a few meters away, "What's wrong?"

"He's faking his own death."

The assassin's eyes were fixed on the figure lying on the ground, not daring to relax even a little. "I broke his neck directly, but let alone the wound on his neck, in just a moment, all the injuries on his body disappeared!"

Hearing this, the approaching figure immediately took a few steps back.

"What the hell are you talking about? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"Would I joke at this time?"

The assassin was in a state of panic. He had killed at least 800 people in his life, but this was the first time he encountered such a strange situation. "The intelligence they provided was not accurate at all. Forget about the heart. This is a monster that won't die even if its head is twisted off."

"Calling someone a monster to their face is not a polite thing to do."

Unable to trick anyone and not even given the chance, Su Mo could only stand up with a helpless look on his face.

Those who possess such strength are indeed not good people. Last time, Livilia cooperated, but this time no one cooperated. Even though there was water vapor covering it, the flaw was still discovered at once.

"I just have a stronger ability to recover, really!"

You must be kidding me... Looking at the figure moving his neck without revealing any flaws, the two of them were secretly criticizing him.

His heart was crushed and his head was twisted off, but he didn't die. If this can be explained simply by his recovery ability, even a fool wouldn't believe it.

"If he doesn't die even after twisting his head off, then just chop his head off and don't let him waste time."

As he spoke, the more burly figure raised the stone axe in his hand.

"Good idea, come chase me then!"

Since I can't trick anyone, I'll just have to get out of here.

One of them was definitely at level LV.4, and the other one was probably as well, but he wasn't so arrogant as to think he could fight two LV.4s at the same time.

"Give me……"

The more muscular man responded immediately, but just like the half-sentence he spoke, his actions were futile.

Looking at the figure running upwards, the assassin looked conflicted.

The friendly reaction was quick, but this quick reaction only blocked air.

In this situation, not to mention him who has accumulated many years of experience, even a novice assassin knows that the most appropriate thing to do is to retreat immediately and then look for another opportunity. This is a wise choice.

But this mission did not give him much leeway.

He is already a retired person, and he would never take such a task if he was not forced to do so.

"This speed is even faster than the Thunder Snake!"

The more burly man couldn't help staring at the lonely one, "Is this really a LV.2?"

“You’ll have to ask your employer about that.”

The two looked at each other through the steaming vapor, and almost at the same time ran towards the only waterway in the explosion crater that could barely be considered an exit.

Didn't catch up... Looking at the two people running to the other side, Su Mo lowered the multiplier.

If you can deal with this kind of rat in the gutter, it is better to deal with it directly. But you can't sneak up on them, you can't deal with them head-on, you can't delay them, and they won't chase them when they run away. They don't give them any chance at all, which makes people feel helpless.

After one last leap out of the explosion crater, Su Mo saw a scene of devastation.

The explosion not only created a 100-meter-wide hole, but also destroyed the entire area. It also caused strong bombardment and shock to nearby buildings within a few hundred meters. Standing next to the hole and looking around, there were ruins all around, and not a single intact place could be seen.

Because of his excellent eyesight, Su Mo could clearly see the glaring red bloodstains and scattered corpses.

Using pure rationality to suppress the strong emotions that were rolling up in his chest, Xia Sumo quickly rushed towards a collapsed building.

Search, rescue, and leave when they are confirmed dead. If they are still breathing, give them medicine and apply medicine. If they run out of medicine, take them out...

This process was repeated over and over, and more and more people were doing the same thing around him, until finally even Bell and several girls from the 'Mistress of Abundance' showed up here.

"Captain..."

"Save people first."

Su Mo is not a saint, but he cannot turn a blind eye at this time.

In the final analysis, this was an ambush aimed at him and the root cause of the tragedy here.

He didn't think he had done anything wrong, but he was indeed responsible for the deaths and injuries.

"…They want to use Orario as a battlefield again!"

Liu's voice was very cold. After moving away a pile of wooden pillars, wooden blocks, and various debris, she saw the figure who had long lost his breath. Her expression was as cold as frost.

This kind of thing only happened during the great struggle when the dark will of God was released.

Su Mo dragged the body out and without wasting time, everyone continued to move to the next place.

"Can you help me investigate who are the older assassins with LV.4 strength in Orario?"

Even he didn't notice anything before he made the move. This is not a skill that an ordinary adventurer can possess.

"I'll look into it."

Liu responded immediately.

Chloe and Lunova also nodded one after another. They knew that this was actually a commission for them.

In this regard, they are both professionals.

Chapter 168 The missing person.

When the healers from many clans arrived, the rescue mission became more straightforward.

The searcher's mission is to find living people and take them to the temporary treatment center where the healer is as quickly as possible.

One of them is where the treatment room is, and this is the battlefield saint - Amidet Yasanare.

As long as she still has a breath left, she can pull people back from the brink of death. In the whole of Orario, probably only she and the "Goddess of Gold" from Freya's family have such ability.

Bringing the mother and daughter here, Su Mo met Shakti with a solemn look.

"how is the situation?"

"The civilian death toll has exceeded triple digits."

The Ganesha clan was indeed evacuated in advance, but the scope and speed of the explosion exceeded everyone's expectations. Moreover, it occurred at a time when people were still asleep, further reducing the chances of survival for civilians to escape and hide.

Ordinary low-level adventurers cannot withstand such an explosion, and the chances of civilians in the center of the explosion surviving are naturally even slimmer.

"Afterwards, two LV.4 assassins appeared. They were probably coming for me."

Shakti shook his head. "From the beginning, this was not just your business. Especially after they set up this explosive trap, it doesn't matter who they are targeting. In any case, they need to pay the price for this."

"Only with their blood can we wash away the shame on our emblem."

The era of opening up a refuge has long passed, and the Ganesha family is now the defender of order in Orario. Maintaining the law and order of Orario and protecting the safety of civilians have always been their main responsibilities.

Ling Ran's murderous intent flowed in his voice, which made people feel his will clearly and truly.

"Those two LV.4s are both older people, one is a human, and the other is probably a half-dwarf."

Even though both of them were completely covered up, some information could still be seen from their skin color, height and other appearances.

"I tried to lure them out, but they were cautious and just ran down the sewer that led out."

A LV.4 human might be difficult to trace, but a LV.4 half-dwarf is indeed a clear clue... Shakti nodded slightly, "We will investigate this. Unless they are outsiders, otherwise, the guild must have files on people of this level."

After explaining his own situation, Su Mo also wanted to know about the weirdo's situation. "What's going on with you...?"

"He ran away and disappeared right in front of me in an unimaginable way."

Shakti replied in a deep voice: "There was only a wall between him and me at the time, but when I broke the wall with my fist, my fist landed directly in the air, and I only hit a faint light and shadow."

"Afterimage-type skills or magic?"

"Absolutely not. Concealing skills and magic have their limitations after all. It is impossible for them to be flawless. He really vanished in front of me without leaving even a trace of his presence."

Hearing this, Su Mo suddenly thought of something, "The murderer who disappeared out of thin air? The murder case of the Pernea family?"

There is still no conclusion to the murder case of the Penea family. The fundamental reason is that the murderer seems to appear suddenly and disappear suddenly, as if he does not exist at all.

"It seems that we have the same opinion. I am going to start from here and continue investigating."

If the murderer is really a weirdo, then the hidden secrets of the Penea family murder case must be related to the dark faction.

"Yo~"

With a greeting, Finn and Loki led the two Amazon sisters towards the two of them. "I am very interested in what you just said. Can you tell us in detail? Of course, what happened last night and now?"

"It's good that Loki's family is willing to help."

Shakti did not hide anything. He not only told in detail what happened last night and now, but also recounted the murder case of the Penea family in great detail.

Su Mo also added some information. For example, the plan of the god Hermes, and the strange man who appeared at that moment and the one who was suspected to be level 7, looked very similar, but their strengths were obviously different...

"…Whether they are the same person or not, we can at least confirm that there is a strange person who can move freely in Orario, and his comings and goings are quite ghostly."

After listening to the two people's stories, Finn thought for a moment and then said in summary: "It shouldn't be a coincidence that he would appear at this time and the explosion trap would occur at this time."

At the end of his words, Finn looked towards the southeast.
