The message disappeared automatically after it was displayed, and the signal could not be traced. It seemed that this group had made ample preparations.
An hour. The other party did not give Silin any extra time to prepare at all. Moreover, it was three days earlier than Coquettish Smile said.
Silin returned to the accommodation, took out the modified hoverboard and left a message on the message machine. If he could not return by then, the message machine would tell Knight what to do. Silin did not bring his communicator. It was too easily exposed.
After the modification, the hoverboard was installed with a silencer drive, and its energy system was improved as well. Silin stepped on the hoverboard and flashed into the night, flying towards the location marked on the map.
At a certain academy dormitory in Sector D of the ten trade Sectors, Coquettish Smile sat inelegantly on a chair and was talking to his communicator.
"I've already passed the message over. He should know what to do."
The Coquettish Smile and Eight Tentacles had joined the Sector Championship purely for fun. Although most Hunters did not participate in that kind of competition, Eight Tentacles and Coquettish Smile were just too bored. Moreover, the incident with Shadow X before the start of the Sector Championship had piqued their curiosity, which was why they had signed up. They did not expect to receive a mission to deliver a secret code, and even more surprisingly, the legendary Shadow X was actually their teammate.
Coquettish Smile and Eight Tentacles had never planned to perform too well on the Sector Championship platform. They were just too lucky that the opponents they encountered were not strong, and even the military academy students were not strong. That was why they were able to enter the top thirty-two. Even without the mission to pass a secret code, the duo did not plan to continue fighting. Exposing their true strength in front of everyone was not a Hunter's way of doing things. As for how far Silin was going to fight, the duo had no interest in knowing.
They did not know what the other said, but Coquettish Smile sat up with a frown.
"Didn't you say it's three days later … alright, I'll pay attention to his situation on the Sector Championship platform. If he doesn't show up by tomorrow, then … alright, got it."
"What's wrong?" Eight Tentacles looked at Coquettish Smile who had been sitting there motionlessly since the call ended.
Coquettish Smile sighed, "Something happened to the sugar daddy, and the assassination was brought forward. I don't know the specifics, and the spies the captain arranged in Seven Lights could not contact Silin either."
"Based on those people's habits, if he doesn't show up for tomorrow's Round of 16 advancement, it stands to reason that he won't show up again. If he appears, it would mean that the Black Thorn assassin organization has completely disappeared from the assassin ranking. "
"Yes … but what are the chances of that happening?"
He smiled coquettishly without saying a word.
Silin arrived at the edge of the forest between the business district and the entertainment city. After arriving at the edge of the forest, he put away the hoverboard, put his coat and hoverboard into the ring, and rushed into the dense forest.
In the depths of the dense forest, three people dressed in black were whispering something. Next to them, Theresa was lying there with her hands and feet tied up. Her hair was a little messy, and her body was covered in dust and grass, but her eyes still looked very energetic. She had only suffered some superficial wounds, and everything else was fine. Before they met Cillin, the people of Black Thorn wouldn't kill Theresa just yet.
Theresa also knew that it was best for her to be obedient given her current situation. If she were to be discovered with any little tricks, these people would kill her without hesitation.
She didn't think that the Douance Family would contact the Black Thorn that was almost at the end of its rope. Last time, they failed in their mission to assassinate Silin, were oppressed by many parties, and were encircled by their peers. Their remaining combat strength was no longer enough for the Black Thorn to remain on the assassin ranking. But when they were almost completely annihilated, Aiflon's competitors in the family gave them a helping hand.
Although she didn't know the details, Theresa could guess that this matter must have been a deal between the Douance Family and the Black Thorn. Without their interference, there was no way that the Black Thorn alone could sneak into Planet Seven Lights so easily.
"Brown Thorn, how is it?" One of them asked.
Theresa looked up, but she couldn't see the person's face clearly in the darkness of the night. The person was walking very quickly, but Theresa didn't hear any footsteps at all. It was as if a ghost had floated over.
Brown Thorn glanced at Theresa who was lying obediently on the ground without any little tricks before turning back to his companions.
"That guy has arrived, but according to Eagle Thorn, that guy disappeared after he landed on a hoverboard."
"Disappeared?"
"I can't find him. I can't even detect the hoverboard. It's as if this person never appeared. But Eagle Thorn definitely saw that guy come into the forest on a hoverboard just a moment ago." Brown Thorn was very puzzled as well.
Tiger Thorn, the person who spoke just now, smiled savagely, "This young master does have some skill. Otherwise, Soft Thorn and the others wouldn't have failed."
The Soft Thorn Tiger Thorn was talking about was the woman who pretended to be a nurse during the biochemical base mission.
"What do we do now?" Brown Thorn asked.
"Tell Eagle Thorn and the others to pay attention and not fail miserably. Otherwise, they will learn from Soft Thorn's mistakes. This is our last chance. "At the end of his sentence, Tiger Thorn's voice was already filled with dense killing intent.
Black Thorn's leader was being watched too closely by all parties, so he didn't come to Planet Seven Lights with them. Tiger Thorn was in charge of the operation this time, and Brown Thorn was assisting him.
Although it had been a while since night had fallen over at the school zone and the dormitory zone, night had only just fallen over this part of the forest.
After bursting into the forest, Silin was not in a hurry to find his target. Instead, he silently passed through the forest in search of something. Silin found what he was looking for at a big tree with lush branches and leaves.
There was a hole in the tree trunk, and some little things would fly around the hole from time to time. They were a kind of flying ant different from termites. They were the original inhabitants of Planet Seven Lights, and their bodies were only a few millimeters long. The largest ones were no bigger than a centimeter, and their adult form had wings that were slightly longer than their bodies. Their wings would not fall off either, and they also had well-developed upper jaws. They didn't like light, and they had a wide diet. They were exactly what Silin was looking for.
He sprayed a kind of odorless potion inside and around the hole. When it came into contact with these flying ants, the potion formed a thin crystalline membrane on the surface of their bodies. Then, it slowly turned from a solid state to a gaseous state as time passed. This sublimated gas had no effect on the flying ants, but it was different for the human body. After the human body inhaled this gas, they would exhale another kind of gas that excited these little fellows, just like how a human body inhales oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide. The human body wouldn't feel any discomfort, but they would unwittingly become these little fellows' target.
Other than the flying ant nest inside the tree hole, Silin had found a few other ant nests and treated them in the same way.
This was the edge of the forest, and the little fellows would fly deeper into the forest in search of food at night. Moreover, the night wind would carry their scent even further into the forest. Right now, it was just nightfall in the forest, and the little fellows still had plenty of time to move around.
On the first day Silin arrived at Seven Lights, he had paid special attention to these flying ants when he was inspecting the terrain. The forest was the best place to settle a grudge in secret, and it was also the easiest place to avoid satellite surveillance. There were a lot of flying ants in this forest, and Silin had analyzed them a long time ago and designed this potion based on their physiological parameters.
Even Mo Heng didn't know that Silin had assembled his own medicine synthesizer. If he knew, he would definitely be so happy that he would run out and show it off. This was because a medicine synthesizer required a higher level of precision, and it normally required at least three people to assemble it.
In reality, this was not the only medicine that Silin had synthesized. He would only use it when he was free or when he was in a hurry. He would never fight a battle unprepared. Silin had stored all of these synthesized medicines inside Genya's leaf-patterned ring.
Silin didn't know how many people were hiding in this forest, but judging from the information he obtained from Coy Behind The Smile, there were definitely no less than ten. These people were cold, decisive, and most importantly, they hid very well. Infrared detectors could not detect them. Without external support, Silin would be in a very difficult situation. One careless mistake and he would lose his life.
However, most of the time, the ones who could help us were not necessarily people.
Silin watched the little fellows fly into the distance before he slipped into the forest in a flash.
The hunt had begun.
