Shady Forest City, Lu Ke's empty room.
Apart from leaning against the wall or sitting on the floor, there were no other postures to choose from. Sword Ghost, Lu Ke, Imperial Shenming, and Zhan Wushang each stood in a corner, biting their fingers gloomily. They had already received Xi Xiaotian's message that the mission had failed. The four of them were gathered here, waiting to see the four-minute video that Xi Xiaotian had brought back.
There was a knock on the door. Lu Ke quickly walked up and opened the door. Xi Xiaotian was standing outside with the scroll in her hand.
"Sorry," Xi Xiaotian said with pursed lips.
"Come in first." Lu Ke pulled her into the room. "It's fine. Who can be sure that something like this will succeed?"
Xi Xiaotian's consolation clearly did not improve her mood. She stretched out her hand. "The scroll is here. Let's watch it again?"
"Alright, alright!" Imperial God Ming and Zhan Wushang immediately came over. Everyone had every reason to believe that these two heartless fellows were faking their sadness. Frankly speaking, the two of them were on a completely different level from Sword Ghost and Lu Ke. They could basically be regarded as passersby.
"Why don't we wait for Qian Li?" Sword Ghost suggested.
"Uh, the Bounty Office is quite far away. He needs some time," Lu Ke replied.
Of course, Gu Fei's death was only an illusion. Even if Gu Fei was willing to sacrifice himself, Sword Ghost would never agree to let him die like this. Thus, after studying the terrain of the street, they decided on a plan to hide in a sack and fake their death. The method was very simple. Pretend to be attacked, then flash a white light and disappear. This was technically possible, as long as Gu Fei could control the timing and use a teleportation type skill to disappear before the attack hit, it would be fine. The Breaking Arrow's line of sight was blocked, so they could not see any flaws.
Originally, Gu Fei wanted to get a teleportation scroll, but Gu Fei simplified the plan and made use of the teleportation function of his Windchaser Emblem. After completing a bounty mission, he did not teleport immediately. Instead, he activated it at the most crucial moment. It was much more economical than using a teleportation scroll.
Furthermore, the fake arrow that killed Gu Fei had to be unexpected and sudden. Otherwise, Gu Fei did not feel that dying from a normal attack was realistic at all. The Tracking Arrow, which was supposed to have a hundred percent accuracy, was even more of a joke to Gu Fei. How could something so slow kill him? Unless a hundred shots were fired at once.
Finally, Xi Xiaotian provided her with a unique skill, Double Chain Arrow. The name of the skill had an additional "Lock" word compared to Double Arrow, and the main point was this "Lock" word. The first arrow would have the same attack and speed as a normal attack. If the first arrow did not hit the target, then there would not be a second arrow. If the first arrow hit the target, then the second arrow would automatically follow the first arrow. Moreover, the second arrow would have the same speed and power as a sniper. It was equivalent to a super advanced version of a homing arrow.
Before the plan was carried out, Xi Xiaotian had shot Gu Fei with her first arrow. After that, as long as she didn't attack again, the Double Arrow Chain would be maintained. Therefore, when she released the second strike of the Double Arrow Chain, it would naturally chase after Gu Fei at a high speed. Gu Fei finally found it acceptable to "die" under such an unexpected attack.
At this moment, Gu Fei had been rushing to meet up with everyone after leaving the Wanted Mission Office. Halfway there, he received news that Xi Xiaotian's operation had failed. No one said much about the specific situation in the message, so he could only continue to speed up his pace.
"Where's that guy? Does he want to come and take a look? "Lu Ke asked Sword Ghost while waiting for Gu Fei.
"I'll call him." Sword Ghost knew that Lu Ke was referring to the young master of the Han family. The relationship between the young master of the Han family and Shen Shui was good and bad, but generally speaking, it was bad most of the time. Shen Shui would gnash his teeth eight out of ten times when he mentioned this person. As Shen Shui's wife, it was impossible for Lu Ke not to be affected. Moreover, it was very normal for her not to like the young master of the Han family, because he was a guy that no one liked. However, Lu Ke was very clear about his capabilities, so like many people, she hated him while trusting him from time to time. For example, Brother You, Divine God Ming, and Zhan Wushang were also very conflicted when facing this person. However, this person seemed to enjoy their conflict, so everyone became even more conflicted.
Soon, there was another knock on the door. The first to arrive were the young master of the Han family and Brother You. The two of them could watch the battle with binoculars, so they were at least in the area, much closer than Gu Fei.
Therefore, when Lu Ke opened the door, she saw the face that made many women helpless, that disdainful gaze, followed by the smell of alcohol. Lu Ke quickly waved her hand to fan herself. "This smell of alcohol!!!"
"Smell of alcohol? That's also the most beautiful. " The young master of the Han family had already arrogantly walked into the room, his gaze quickly landing on Divine God Ming.
"What?" Divine God Ming's voice was still quite loud, but it was obvious that he lacked confidence. Because reality proved that the young master of the Han family would never disdain or laugh at someone for no reason. The target of his disdain and laughter, always had enough reason to be disdained and laughed at, at least he thought so.
"Idiot!" The disdain began in a blatant manner.
"I'm talking to you!" Divine God Ming looked at Zhan Wushang seriously. Zhan Wushang reached out to grab his head, but Divine God Ming nimbly dodged. He was still an expert, how could he live if he was always grabbed and thrown out by Zhan Wushang?
"Two idiots." The young master of the Han family said.
"You're an idiot, you're an idiot!" The two of them immediately formed an alliance to defend against the enemy.
The young master of the Han family didn't retort, only coldly laughing. Then, looking at the two fellows' anxious expressions, anyone who saw this scene would quickly tell which side was the idiot …
At this time, the one who came out to smooth things over was naturally Brother You. The others were also a bit angry that the young master of the Han family called someone an "idiot" as soon as he entered, but after hearing Brother You's analysis, everyone looked at Divine God Ming with disdain.
"Don't blame him too much." Zhan Wushang suddenly became like a kind uncle, "His brain hasn't fully developed yet."
"Scram!" Divine God Ming pushed Zhan Wushang away, and helplessly explained to everyone, "Then what should we do? We have to interrupt Qian Li's skill there! Otherwise, the Water Breaking Arrow will die, and Lil 'Tian Jie's attack can't be used at that time, or Qian Li will die. This was the plan from the beginning! "
The young master of the Han family facepalmed, "His brain really hasn't fully developed yet?"
Before Divine God Ming could react, the young master of the Han family already continued, "Didn't you understand what Brother You said? The problem isn't the first arrow's interruption, it's the second arrow's sniping. You shouldn't have shot another arrow just to satisfy your craving, this arrow contradicts the first arrow. "
"This … I just thought that Qian Li would definitely be able to dodge it, so I wanted to forcefully attack a few more times to make it look more realistic." Divine God Ming felt a bit wronged, this was indeed his true thoughts at the time, he just wanted to make things more perfect, who would have thought that it would reveal a flaw.
"It's nothing, although this is a flaw, it's not certain whether the Water Breaking Arrow noticed it or not, right?" Sword Ghost said to Divine God Ming.
Divine God Ming didn't reply, instead looking at Xi Xiaotian. Xi Xiaotian was the only one who came into contact with the Water Breaking Arrow, whether the Water Breaking Arrow noticed it or not, only she might know the answer.
Seeing that everyone seemed to be waiting for her to announce the answer, Xi Xiaotian took a deep breath, and just as he was about to speak, there was another knock on the door.
"It's probably Qian Li." This time, it was Sword Ghost who stepped forward to open the door, but when the door opened, it wasn't Gu Fei, but Shui Shen.
Shui Shen was alone, and when she saw Sword Ghost, she was startled. When she looked into the room, she was even more surprised to see so many people. Sword Ghost had an awkward expression, and looked back at Lu Ke.
"He's looking for me …" Lu Ke said.
Isn't that obvious? Everyone was sweating profusely, and they couldn't help but reply, "Go, go." After saying that, they didn't even know what they were doing. Everyone was very embarrassed, and they couldn't help but dodge to the corner. After Sword Ghost let Lu Ke go out, he was even more at a loss, not knowing if he should follow Lu Ke out to talk to Shui Shen, or come in and close the door …
In the end, it was Xi Xiaotian who dashed over. "Young Ke, we'll wait for you." She smiled sweetly and closed the door.
"Why is Shui Shen here?" Everyone in the room made a gesture of wiping off their sweat.
"But you guys don't have to look like you've been caught in the act, right?" Young Master Han's disdain came again. After Shui Shen appeared, he didn't react at all, and he didn't even think of doing something like Xi Xiaotian quickly closing the door to relieve the awkwardness, because he didn't feel awkward at all.
And this time, no one refuted the unpleasant disdain, because everyone actually agreed in their hearts. That awkward feeling just now really felt like they'd been caught in the act!
"Shui Shen suddenly came here, could it have something to do with the Water Breaking Arrow?" Brother You always rushed to the front line to smooth things over, unyielding in the untimely atmosphere.
"Did he really see through our plan?" Thinking of his own mistake, Imperial God Ming wanted to bang his head against the wall. So embarrassing! And this was a plan with a beauty in it!
"Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? Shui Shen just had to come find Lu Ke at this time? "Brother You said.
"I wonder what they're talking about?" Brother You mumbled, and walked towards the door, but after a few steps, he realized that everyone's eyes were fixed on him. He thought of how he wanted to stick his ear to the door and eavesdrop on the conversation between a couple. So wretched! Brother You shuddered, and quickly changed his words: "Everyone guess."
"There's no need to guess, we'll know when Lu Ke comes back and asks." Sword Ghost said, "But if Shui Shen was really found by the Water Breaking Arrow, then we've been played by him again …" Sword Ghost couldn't help but think of the last time he and Gu Fei tried to follow him, but in the end, they went for wool and came home shorn. They were completely exposed in front of Shui Shen, causing the two of them to shed all pretense of cordiality, and this time …
Thinking of this, Sword Ghost rushed to the door. Lu Ke previously chose to avoid Shui Shen because she wanted to wait until the rain was over, but she didn't expect to be caught at this time. As a friend, he had to bear the burden for her at this time!
