Chapter 224 For justice, obtain information
"Um?!"
With a muffled groan, the scout standing on the roof of the building was pierced through the heart by a sharp sword that came from behind before he could react.
When the body was about to fall forward, a pair of large hands wearing leather gloves suddenly passed under the armpits, hugged it, and gently lowered it back.
The whole process didn't make any sound...
From Lu Qi's point of view, the assassin's stealth assassination was basically the same as when he was in S.A.S. Task Force 141 and carried out missions deep behind enemy lines.
The main purpose is to hide oneself, from the blind spot of the enemy's vision, quietly and silently come behind the enemy, and deliver a fatal blow.
The only possible difference may be that without the help of silenced firearms, he has to close the distance with the enemy as much as possible, and the possibility of being discovered is greater, that's all...
After getting rid of the scout on the roof, Lu Qi did not forget to wave to Evie on the roof of another building.
Upon seeing this, Evie immediately stood up, put on her hood, and jumped down from the edge of the roof!
Under the cover of the night, the fit and healthy Evie ran freely on the roof like an elf under the night.
Only two minutes later, Evie arrived on the roof of a factory on the left side of the street.
Across the street, Evie also saw Lu Qi's figure on the roof of the building opposite.
There were about seven or eight enemies around the carriage.
Two Templars in black coats were standing by a makeshift stove to keep warm, with their backs to the carriage; five or six thugs were distributed on both sides of the street, guarding against any emergencies.
After a quick glance at the enemy's layout, the attentive Evie discovered that the only one keeping her sights on the carriage was a gunman on the balcony on the second floor.
As long as he is assassinated, other enemies will be far away from the carriage and will not find her immediately.
In this way, she can get into the carriage and search the box to see if there is anything she wants...
After going over the plan in her mind, Evie made a standby gesture to Lu Qi. After getting the latter's nod, she jumped down, stabbed in the air, and pounced directly on the gunman on the second floor balcony!
"Well..."
The subconscious voice that wanted to call for help suddenly stopped when the hidden sword came in and out.
Witnessing Ewei's assassination scene, Lu Qi couldn't help but sigh in a low voice:
"Nice!"
After killing the gunman, Evie did not jump down immediately, but looked around to make sure no one was staring at the carriage before climbing over the guardrail on the second floor and jumping to the street.
Controlling her footsteps without making any noise, Evie bent down, quickly crossed the street, and climbed onto the carriage.
Use a piece of wire to easily open the locked long box.
There was no Piece of Eden in the box that she was looking for, but she still found a very important item.
On a pile of messy papers, a black notebook lay quietly.
On the cover of the notebook, the special logo with a triangular tip on the upper half and an eagle spreading its wings on the lower half is the Assassin's logo!
Without thinking too much, after stuffing the notebook into the inner layer of her clothes, Evie quietly put the box back. Just when she was about to get up and leave, something unexpected happened!
The leader of the thug gang who accompanied the brown-haired woman and came out of the building happened to see Evie on the carriage and couldn't help shouting:
"Who is where?!"
This shout immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Of course, this also included Lu Qi, who was watching the wind on the roof.
Seeing that Evie was discovered, Lu Qi didn't hesitate at all. He raised his gauntlet with his left hand and fired the rope dart towards a tall building in front of him with a "swish" sound.
The next second, jump!
With the help of the rope dart, he swung above the carriage. Lu Qi immediately retracted the rope dart and fell freely. With a "bang", he landed firmly on the carriage.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Lu Qi, Evie was a little surprised. Even the small freckles on her face became more eye-catching:
"Alex?!"
"We'd better go!"
After saying that, Lu Qi directly held up his hands, jumped forward, and came to the driver's seat of the cargo carriage.
Picking up the reins, Lu Qi did not forget to remind Evie behind him before driving:
"Stand still!"
Before he finished speaking, he pulled the reins suddenly, and the black horse pulling the cart sped out!
It was originally a theft, but accidentally turned into an honest robbery.
In this regard, Lu Qi said, calm down, these are all basic operations.
Besides, how can taking something from the Templars be called robbing? That is called obtaining information for the sake of justice!
While controlling the carriage and racing along the streets, Lu Qi did not forget to ask Evie:
"Anything gained?"
"Yes, the box is full of documents and research materials about the Pieces of Eden, and..."
Before he finished speaking, a "bang" gunshot broke the silence of the night and interrupted the conversation between the two.
"They're catching up!"
Hearing this, Lu Qi shouted directly without saying a word:
"Evie, you drive! I'll deal with them!"
At the critical moment, Ewei did not give in and obediently came to the driver's seat and took the reins from Lu Qi's hand.
Lu Qi, who changed places with Ewei and stood on the carriage, took out two revolvers from the [Item Space] and pointed them at the pursuers behind him.
Although he no longer has the shooting magic skill [Bullet Time], the precise marksmanship he has been honing is still engraved in Lu Qi's muscle memory.
Raise your hands and shoot!
Bang bang bang, three shots in a row!
A gang of thugs sitting in the driver's seat of a horse-drawn carriage being pursued were immediately shot in the head!
The carriage that lost control suddenly slowed down and drove to the side.
After getting rid of one carriage, there are three more behind it!
In order to prevent the enemy's bullets from hitting Evie who was driving the carriage, Lu Qi couldn't help but stand in front of her and try his best to help her block the path of the bullets.
Anyway, he has [breathing blood], so as long as he is not killed instantly by one shot, any injuries are nothing to him.
Lu Qi, armed with two guns, directly transformed into a Victorian version of Yan Shuangying, and fired at the chasing carriage behind him!
The enemy on the carriage, not to be outdone, took out his pistol and fired back.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of gunfire.
Running all the way north from Lambeth, passing through Trafalgar Square in London, the sound of gunfire almost never stopped, shrouding every street in London.
In the end, Lu Qi used his precise marksmanship to kill three chasing carriages and abandoned the carriages, thus escaping the Templars' subsequent pursuit...
In a dark alley, two figures of different heights were reflected from the darkness.
It was Lu Qi and Yiwei who escaped pursuit!
"What a pity the research documents in the box..."
After that, Evie took out the notebook with the Assassin's logo on it, raised it to Lu Qi, and said:
Chapter completed!
