The next day, at 9 PM.
In an abandoned warehouse in the southern suburbs of Usda City.
Under the dim street lights, the door of the warehouse was ajar. The street outside was very quiet. This area was not peaceful, and there were often fights between local gangs. Therefore, the residents in the neighborhood did not come out after dark.
The street was quiet, and only a drunkard staggered out of a small path. He held onto a telephone pole and retched a few times. Then, he sat down on the ground and leaned against the telephone pole to sleep.
At this time, the sound of leather boots stepping on the ground came from the end of the long street.
Three people walked to the street. The dim street lights shone on them, casting long shadows on the street.
The one in the middle was a slim woman wearing a sexy black leather jacket and pants. She was playing with a dagger in her hand as she walked.
There was a man on each side of the woman. One of them was burly and had an obvious scar on his face. The other was a little skinny, and his dark skin made him look more like a South American than an African. He had a faint smile on his face, and he seemed to be indifferent to the situation.
The three of them walked side by side in the direction of the abandoned warehouse.
The slim woman in the middle stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. She said slowly, "Big guy, why do you think the wizard called everyone back this time?"
The muscular man on the right of the woman said in a low muffled voice, "It must be something big! Maybe it's a big business? "
The skinny man said cynically, "What kind of big business needs to gather everyone? Is the wizard thinking of leading everyone to set up his own business? "
The slim woman frowned and said, "Kitt! If you die one day, it will be because of your mouth! Can't you tell what should be said and what should not be said? "
The skinny Gitte chuckled and said, "Tina, you're too cowardly! What's there to be afraid of if we talk in private? Everyone says that Lord Satan is powerful and omnipotent, but have we ever seen Lord Satan? Instead, the wizard's methods are really powerful! If you ask me … Lord Satan might be a character made up by the wizard himself! "
The slim woman, Tina, scolded, "Shut up! Is the matter of Lord Satan something we can discuss? Kit, if you want to die, don't drag us down with you! "
Kitt shrugged and said, "Tina, this doesn't seem like the style of the famous snake beauty! Is a name enough to scare you? Last time in Southeast Asia, you cut that indigenous farmer into a bloody mess, but I didn't see you scared! "
Tina snorted coldly and ignored Kat.
Kitt felt a little bored. He poked his head out to look at the muscular man beside Tina and joked, "Big guy, if the adepts really want to lead everyone to establish their own faction, what would you choose? Will you continue to be loyal to Lord Satan or follow the wizards? "
The burly man scratched his head and said, "I'll listen to you! Anyway, it was fine as long as there was money to be made! It didn't matter who he was dealing with. But both of you have taken good care of me. I don't want to be separated from you … "
Kitt laughed and said, "The big guy is still very sentimental!"
Tina, who was walking in the middle, did not say anything, but a smile appeared on her face.
The three of them were the elite assassins of the Shadow Squad organized by Mode. They had been doing missions together for a few years. This small team had gone from five people to only three now. Although two of them had died in the process, the tacit understanding between the remaining three was getting better and better.
For the past year, the wizards had been trying to add more people to their team, but Tina had rejected them all.
In Tina's opinion, the three of them were enough to deal with the most difficult missions. If more people were added, they would need to break in.
As the three of them were among the most powerful members of the Shadow Party, Adept Bassoon didn't go against their wishes and forcefully shove them into the party.
This time, Tina and the other two were on vacation in South Africa. After seeing the signal sent by Wizard Bassoon on the Internet, they immediately took a flight back to Ethiopia. Due to the delay of the flight, they arrived at Addis Ababa Barbole Airport a lot later. They then rushed to Usuda City without stopping and finally arrived before the deadline.
The three of them talked as they walked towards the abandoned warehouse.
Although they looked relaxed, they had lived in the Dark World for so many years and had already developed the habit of being alert at all times. Their attention was always very focused.
Soon, the three of them walked from the end of the long street to the entrance of the warehouse.
The door of the warehouse was ajar, and a faint yellow light came through.
Just as the burly man was about to push the door open, Tina suddenly raised her arm and shouted, "Wait!"
The burly man reflexively stopped, and Kitt, who was still looking cynical, subconsciously stood back to back with the burly man, a pair of sharp eyes looking around.
Tina said, "We should be the last batch to arrive. Don't you think … it's too quiet inside?"
Kitt said while being alert, "Maybe it's a prank? Or maybe this is a test? The wizards need to select the strongest team to carry out a big mission? "
Tina said calmly, "Before it's confirmed, any possibility exists …"
The burly man asked, "Then are we still going in?"
"Of course we're going in!" Tina said, "Otherwise, how would we know what's going on? But from now on, we need to be on high alert. "
In fact, Tina was leaning towards Kitt's judgment. She felt that perhaps this really was a special test to test their ability to deal with situations and their ability to adapt to actual combat. Perhaps there really was a big mission that needed to be carried out!
Thinking of this, Tina couldn't help but be a little tempted. A big mission meant high difficulty, but also high rewards.
They were in this line of work to make money. As long as they paid, they were responsible for completely solving their clients' problems. Therefore, there was no right or wrong.
As for the possibility that Wizard Bassoon was coerced to deliberately send a signal on the network to lure the members of the Shadow Squad, such a possibility naturally existed.
However, Tina and the other two didn't think in this direction.
From what they knew, Wizard Bassoon was abnormally powerful and had endless tricks up his sleeve. How could such an expert be held hostage? Moreover, with their understanding of Bassoon, even if he really fell into the hands of the enemy, it was basically impossible for Bassoon to cooperate with the enemy. If they really fell into the hands of the police or their enemies, it didn't matter if they cooperated or not, they wouldn't be able to escape death. Rather than being tortured to death, it was better to end their own lives as soon as possible.
Bassoon, who had countless poisonous creatures, had at least a hundred ways to end his own life in an instant.
Therefore, Tina and the other two subconsciously ruled out the most dangerous possibility.
Tina pulled out a pistol from the back of her waist. Gitte and the big guy also took out their own weapons. Gitte held three throwing knives between his fingers while the big guy took out an AK submachine gun from his backpack.
The three of them skillfully formed a battle formation with their backs against each other. The big guy who was facing the warehouse gently pushed the door open and then they carefully moved into the warehouse step by step.
The huge warehouse was empty except for a few wires hanging from the ceiling. The light bulb hanging on the wires gave off a dim yellow light that wasn't enough to illuminate the entire warehouse.
After entering the warehouse, the three of them quickly observed the situation in all directions.
Tina's gaze focused. She noticed that there was a chair in front of them. A person was sitting on the chair with his back facing them. There seemed to be a person curled up on the ground in front of this person who was being stepped on by this person.
Tina's expression turned cold. She pointed her pistol at the person's back and said, "Don't move! Put your hands on your head and stand up slowly! "
The big guy and Kitt only glanced at it from the corner of their eyes. They didn't turn around. Instead, they continued to maintain a vigilant posture while facing Tina's two flanks.
The person who was sitting with his back facing them didn't seem to care about having a gun pointed at him. He smiled casually and said, "Not bad, you're very vigilant!"
Tina's voice turned even colder, "I'm saying this for the last time. Put your hands on your head, stand up and turn around slowly! I'll count to three. If you don't do as I say, I'll shoot immediately! "
Tina counted expressionlessly after saying that, "One!"
At that moment, her finger was already on the trigger. She pulled the trigger back a little. The pistol was actually ready to fire.
"Two!" Tina's voice was getting colder.
To their surprise, the person sitting on the chair laughed and said, "Let me count for you! Three! "
"You're asking for it!" Tina said with a hint of killing intent.
Initially, she was worried that this person might be the employer of this' big mission 'and was purposely testing them. However, she had the intention to kill now.
No matter who this person was, he had already worn out her patience. If this was really a big client, then she didn't need such a stupid client!
Tina had at least dozens of lives in her hands. Killing people was as simple as drinking water and eating to her. After she had the intention to kill, she didn't hesitate at all and pulled the trigger gently. To a top assassin, no matter how angry or impatient they were, their movements would be very gentle when they fired. Because if they used too much force, it would cause their movements to be distorted and the accuracy of the shot would be greatly reduced.
After pulling the trigger, Tina's eyes showed a hint of cruelty.
She would have an inexplicable pleasure every time she took a life. This time was no exception.
However, Tina's expression froze instantly. The gunshot didn't sound.
She realized that she couldn't pull the trigger at all. It was as if someone was behind the trigger and it was stuck.
Not only that, Tina and the other two also felt that their bodies were bound by an invisible force. They could only maintain their current posture. It was difficult to even move a finger.
The three of them were inexplicably shocked. They didn't know why such a situation happened.
At that moment, the person sitting on the chair finally stood up. He slowly turned around and revealed a young face.
This person was naturally Xia Ruofei who was' waiting 'here. Of course, he still had the face of a Southeast Asian.
Xia Ruofei looked at the three people who were directly restrained by him with a relaxed expression and said, "You should be the last batch. There are a few more who probably won't come. Then … The hunting operation can end! "
