Chapter 80 Mouse Hunting

Vader nodded and said: "The patrolling soldiers found something on the city wall. "

"Take me to see it."

"This way."

Vina and the three of them followed me to the city wall. The place Vida was talking about was the east city wall, which was towards the sea. When we reached the city wall the rose and red moon were already there. Everyone automatically gave way when they saw me coming.

I walked into the crowd and saw a strange black mark on the ground. "Are these footprints?"

A demon knight standing nearby nodded and said: "They are human footprints, and they were left fresh, no more than 3 minutes ago. The other party climbed all the way up from the sea, so it left a watermark."

I look at Hongyue and the others. "Who do you think he is?"

Rose said: "As expected, they are the Japanese."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Rose, and I nodded too. "How many footprints did you find?"

A guard said: "The footprints have been stepped on by many people. The other party must have stepped on the footprints of the people in front to avoid exposing the number of people. They belong to a very professional team. There is really no way to judge the number by just relying on the footprints. We just We found signs of entry in eight places, which means a lot of people came in."

A player standing at the back of the team said: "If I were Japanese, I wouldn't send just a few people in. Essinger is not a large area, and there will definitely be no way to find what they are looking for if there are few people."

Hongyue said: "The question now is what are they looking for?"

Ziyue said: "It may be to steal the magic crystal, or it may be to cause sabotage."

"No need to guess what they want to do, it all needs to be solved anyway." I turned to Vida and said: "Assemble the troops and form a patrol post. So double posts will be added at the intersection, and there will be at least three patrol teams on each street. Tonight Let’s catch mice!”

Rose said: "Isn't catching mice too boring? How about we use mouse traps?"

"Mousetrap?"

Rose smiled and said: "Relax the patrols in some places and concentrate the guards where we want the rats to go. Then they will naturally think that the key protection areas are important places and try their best to get inside."

"I understand what you mean. However, important areas must be specially defended to prevent them from taking advantage of the loopholes. Okay, let's go catch mice. Let's see who catches more tomorrow morning." I took out a white one Crystal and summon Jingjing and then connect the video broadcast to the whole guild. "Everyone, pay attention. The Japanese invasion of Essinger failed today, and now they are starting to make small moves. It has just been confirmed that Japanese infiltrators have infiltrated our Essinger. In order to avoid any losses, we will play mouse-catching tonight. Game. Everyone, pay attention to the crystal in my hand. This is the summoning crystal of the God Angel, which is equivalent to a magic pet egg. The cute girl next to me is the God Angel Jingjing, with a level of 1000! Whoever catches the most mice tonight, this crystal It’s whoever it belongs to, it’s considered a prize. If I catch the most, I’ll keep it and use it as a prize next time there’s a guild event. Okay, now I announce the start of the game, everyone, let’s work hard!”

People around me looked at me strangely, and I looked at them: "Is there anything strange?"

Hongyue shook her head and said: "It's not strange, I just want to ask you if what you said is true?"

"I've already announced it, can I still take it back? This is a guild broadcast."

Almost as soon as I finished speaking, all the players around me disappeared. It seems that appropriate rewards can indeed improve work enthusiasm. I have never seen them so crazy before. Now there were only Rose and a few NPCs left around me. I turned to Vida and said, "You should go too."

"yes."

When we left the city wall, the city had become deserted. Patrol teams composed of hundreds of thousands of troops were lined up and running up and down the streets, and some gate posts were also filled with guards. Vina even sent her temple guards to help. Amynis was sent to the Soul Gathering Tower by me. With the amplification effect of the Soul Gathering Tower, I used the super-wide true vision spell. This magic can completely eliminate the effects of magic such as invisibility and mimicry. Don't even think about hiding it from the sky. In addition to soldiers, some areas of Essinger are also equipped with opals. Although they appear to be just decorations, they are actually monitors bought from Atlantis. As long as the Japanese walk in front of these wall-mounted opals, they will be spotted. And some of them also have certain attack capabilities. As long as they are close enough, they can deliver a fatal blow unexpectedly.

It was their biggest mistake that the Japanese dared to enter Essinger. Today they had to be allowed to come in standing and leave lying down.

The Japanese who infiltrated Essinger went smoothly at first, but after a while it was obvious that something was wrong. A ninja approached the ninja next to him and said, "President Matsumoto, did the Chinese notice that we came in?"

Matsumoto looked out from the edge of the building where he was hiding. "Probably yes, several patrol teams have passed by in the past few minutes. ***, there are so many guards here!"

Another ninja suddenly said: "President, my invisibility has failed."

"Huh?" Masamoto Matsumoto looked at his hands and then around, and then he applied invisibility to himself twice in a row before saying: "It seems that something is interfering with the invisibility technique. I tell everyone to be careful. Invisibility is invalid." If you don’t, just rely on obstacles to move forward covertly.”

"yes."

The Japanese who lost their invisibility began to use various methods to avoid the guards. In some places, they had to fight against the time difference with the patrol guards, and they had to pass through a small alley several times. But no matter how careful we are, things will go wrong sometimes, not to mention that we still have hidden whistles here.

The cat's eye stone controlled by the city tree is the first to find the target. The radio in the city suddenly rang: "Attention, patrol. Five Japanese ninjas were found in front of the building at 007310', area d3s6 avenue, area f2, c6, fleeing from east to west."

Although this is a public broadcast that can be heard by the whole city, the Japanese don't know how the area numbers of Essinger are arranged, so even if they hear it, they don't know which team it is talking about. The Japanese all panicked. Of course our guards knew the place, and nearby patrols immediately began to gather there.

The five ninjas who were discovered were hiding in the flowers next to a cat's eye stone. They thought no one saw them, but they didn't know that the monitor was less than one meter above their heads. The five demon spirit knights ran toward the flowers with ferocious looks. The ninjas found themselves exposed and quickly stood up and wanted to run away, but a large number of guards had completely blocked the road, and even the roofs were full of guards. Several dazzling bright light beams shot over from several defensive buildings nearby, illuminating the ninjas as if they were on a stage.

The unsuspecting Japanese still wanted to resist. They glanced at each other and suddenly broke out in one direction. As a result, they were shot into hedgehogs by the archers as soon as they jumped up. Several demon spirit knights each grabbed a leg of a corpse and dragged him to the Soul Gathering Tower to revive him.

The five ninjas here have just been killed, and another group of five people was discovered in the southeast corner of the city. As soon as those five idiots jumped out of a building, they were spotted by the cat's eye stone next to them. Several large searchlights turned them into dazzling stars like emperors. Then Essinger's players, who were even more fanatical than the groupies, rushed forward and killed them. Of course, the players were not fanatical because of their charm, but because of the angel crystal reward I proposed. Those five Japanese were almost trampled to death while the players were fighting for them. It was really pitiful! Another urban stampede!

For more than half an hour, the Japanese squads were captured one after another. Those rookie ninjas really couldn't cope with such a complicated environment. There were too many open and hidden sentries, and they couldn't move through it at all. As long as they are discovered by players or opals, a large number of searchlights will immediately shine on them.

This time, a lot of Japanese people infiltrated. Because they planned to use some people as bait and feint from the beginning, many Japanese players who were not even ninjas infiltrated. These people were not ninjas to begin with, and they had no training, so they were very easy to be exposed, so people kept getting caught in the first half hour. Hundreds of corpses have been laid out in the open space in front of the Juling Tower, and the number is still increasing.

As time went on, when the number of corpses in front of the Juling Tower increased to 1,700, the Japanese's feint attack team was almost wiped out, and the remaining ones were all professional ninjas with extremely sophisticated skills, and they were all masters. The Japanese have relatively developed talents in this area.

I don’t know who thought of it first. Some players took out their steel claws to help catch people. Later, it evolved into everyone relying on the nose of the steel claws to help find people. We don't have police dogs here, and steel claws can be a good substitute. The Japanese were in trouble now. Obstacles could block the sight but not the smell. Many Japanese who thought they were well hidden were dragged out of their hiding places one by one by steel claws. However, there are still many Japanese who have not been discovered. After all, our guild has only more than 10,000 official members in total, and nearly half of them did not participate in the rat-catching operation because they were not online or had things to do in other cities and couldn't leave. The remaining steel claws alone are really too busy to search such a large Isinger.

I sent all my familiars out to act on my own, leaving only Phantom beside me to help. Rose also followed me, wandering around the city like walking on the street. Not to mention, we actually met a team. The two of us had just passed by the guild warehouse, when a pair of guards passed by and several black figures suddenly flashed across the street.

Rose was about to shout when I stopped her. "You wait for me here, I'll do it myself."

He quietly followed the black figures and activated the cloak's invisibility effect. Amynis is my familiar, and harmful magic will not work on me, so I can still be invisible. Not all of the five Japanese were ninjas, there were only three of them, and the other two looked like samurai. The ninjas were in the front and the samurai were at the back. They were very careful and tried to stay quiet along the way, but how could they realize that someone was following them while avoiding the guards.

When the five of them reached the roof of a building, I quietly arrived near them. Turning eternity into a small dagger, hold it in your hand and slowly approach them. While they were all observing the patrol cycle of the nearby patrol, I 'touched' behind the last warrior among them. His left hand suddenly covered his mouth and nose, and his right hand held the ever-changing dagger and quickly scratched his neck. The guy kicked twice, but Essinger was facing the sea, and the strong sea breeze completely blocked the damage he caused. sound.

Drag the unlucky guy to the wall, then enter the building through the window and put him there. Go back to those guys and use the same method to kill another samurai and drag him back to the room. The third time I 'touched' them and prepared to take action, I found a ninja who was leaning back. I slowly moved my left hand to his head to cover his mouth, and the dagger in my right hand was in place. The ninja who was about to strike suddenly said, "Where do Minghao-kun think that thing is?"

The ninja at the front said directly without looking back: "It should be over there. Judging from the distribution of guards, it's the most tightly sealed area. Obviously they don't want us to get close, so there must be something important inside. Don't you think so?"

The ninja who spoke first in front of me replied, "Yeah, that makes sense."

Another ninja also said: "I think so. What do Zaoda-kun think?"

After waiting for a while, no one answered. The three ninjas turned around and were stunned. The ninja who asked the question lowered his voice and shouted: "Zao Tian? Wu Ze?"

The ninja at the front said: "Where are the people?"

"The one who was behind me just now!"

"Why are they running around at this time?"

"Then what should we do now?"

"I think we should find them two first."

At this time, I was squatting less than two meters away from them and watching them argue. These three idiots didn't even know that there were two living people beside them.

They were noisily enjoying themselves, when several more searchlights lit up in the distance, attracting the attention of the three of them at the same time. The guy at the front said: "Probably the Honda team was caught."

I took advantage of them to look at each other and leaned forward again, approaching the guy at the back. Make a clean move and solve the problem in one go. After dragging his body back two meters, the two guys in front suddenly turned around. I quickly covered the body and myself with a cloak.

"Why is Hinimaru missing?" the two guys asked almost at the same time.

The younger one said stupidly: "Is it Shenyin?"

Another one immediately reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, this is a city, how can it be possible for the gods to hide here?"

I almost laughed out loud while listening, and it took a lot of effort to hold back my laughter. These two idiots were really funny.

The smaller ninja asked the other: "Minghao-kun, you won't disappear suddenly too, will you?"

"Asshole, what do you mean by 'Ran'! How could I disappear!"

"But Zaoda and the others...?"

"There might be some monster around!"

"In the city?"

"Maybe! That bastard Ziri is a monster in his own right. Last time in Biliang City, 6,000 of us didn't do anything to him. Maybe his city is rich in monsters!"

I wanted to laugh while listening. These two idiots were still studying the missing persons issue, but I didn't have the time to spend time with them. He raised his right hand and pointed it at the guy who looked older and more experienced. He slightly pressed the machine spring, and a soul-chasing arrow flew out.

when! There was a crisp sound and all three of us were stunned. The arrow hit, but not where I aimed. That guy was indeed no ordinary character. In such a short time, he could actually react and raise his knife to block an arrow. But since there were two of them, I wanted to kill one of them with one strike, so I used the powerful soul-chasing arrow. With such a block, the soul-chasing arrow failed to hit the target, but it cut off his Japanese sword at the waist. The misdirected arrow flew out diagonally and pierced the calf of the relatively new guy next to him.

The three of us were surprised by the sudden change. The rookie basically just rolled around holding his legs. The experienced ninja and I reacted at the same time. His cross-steel dart flew over right after. I stepped aside to dodge the attack, but there was no point in becoming invisible once I moved. Simply remove the invisibility, turn over and jump out half a step. A row of steel darts landed where I was squatting just now.

"Run!" To my surprise, the ninja did not continue to attack. Instead, he turned around, pulled his injured companion, and jumped off the edge of the roof.

I was in a defensive posture, but I didn't expect him to suddenly run away. I hurriedly chased him to the edge of the building but saw no one. I guess he didn't get to the end but got in through the window. I stepped on the railing and jumped down, spreading my wings and falling slowly. I saw a few drops of blood in front of a window sill, and the window was open.

He jumped through the window and entered the building, looking around. There was no blood on the floor and no sound could be heard in the room. It looked like he had lost track! But when I thought something was wrong, I stuck my head out of the window again, and sure enough I saw two black figures flashing around the corner and disappearing into the alley between the buildings. I quickly jumped out, landed directly on the ground without spreading my wings, and ran quickly towards the entrance of the alley. When I caught up to the alley, I saw two shadows getting in through a window in the alley. I followed immediately.

The more experienced ninja might actually be a thief. He was so nimble that he could jump through walls and windows as if he were walking on flat ground. I chased to the window and jumped in, only to realize that it was the back door of the hotel. As soon as I jumped in, I fell into the vegetable washing sink. But those two guys obviously suffered a loss, because there were two rows of clear watermarks on the ground, showing that two people covered in water had just walked by.

I followed the water traces all the way up to the second floor. The room was dark and there was no sound. The water has dried and the mark is no longer visible, but the second floor is a dead end with no exits around and the windows are closed. The other party must be hiding somewhere in the room.

"Come out! I know you are here."

Whizzing! Something appeared, but it was not a person, but two darts. I waved the two darts with one hand and fell to the ground with two clangs.

Looking in the direction where the darts were fired, no one could be found. After looking carefully, I found a small slingshot-like mechanism on the beam. This little thing fired the dart just now. No wonder it was so slow. This guy is also very skilled.

I heard the slightest movement, suddenly turned around and threw the dagger from my waist. There was a thud, the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. I hurried over, and what I saw was the injured rookie. My dagger hit him between the eyebrows. But there was sudden movement at the top of the stairs. I waved my hand and another dagger flew out. Holding the dagger on the rookie's forehead, he raised his foot and stepped on his shoulder, then pulled the dagger hard and the dagger came out. Wipe the blood on his body, put the dagger away, and walk to the stairs to check the situation.

The dagger was nailed to the handrail of the stairs, and there was still blood on the tip. It seemed that it had grazed the target, but it didn't seem to have hit a vital point. The other party knocked over the table and ran out of the back door. I knew there was little point in chasing him. Anyway, he was injured by me. Without the powerful purification technique used by the priest, he would slowly wither and die, because I just saw The battle prompt shows that the evil invasion has been successfully launched.

He turned around and walked out of the gate, not intending to chase the guy. But as soon as he opened the door, a row of weapons came towards him, but two seconds later a female voice suddenly said: "President?"

"It's you!"

"Tch! I thought it was a big rat!"

I clapped my hands and said, "How many have you killed at most? I've already killed four."

"President, you are too inferior! Sister Lan is already a loser."

Someone on the other side shouted: "'It doesn't matter, Sister Bai just killed the) one."

sweat! These girls are so fierce! This is less than an hour ago. It is estimated that this is not a record yet. There must be more people.

"Keep working hard, the angel is waving to you."

"Yes." Everyone nodded vigorously and started to spread out and continue catching mice.

Just after finishing speaking, the player named Sister Bai suddenly drew her bow, and a ninja fell from the roof. I saw that it was the one I was chasing just now. A girl next to her shouted: "Sister Bai is turning 30."

I shouted, "Wait a minute. This guy was just injured by me. Even if I don't kill him for a while, he will be corroded by the evil energy and die."

"But it was Sister Bai who shot her to death in the end."

"That counts as half. Count as) half."

"How about half the number of people?) What's the matter with half a person?"

"We are counting dead people, half-dead people, not bad. That's it, you go find new ones quickly, or else others will snatch them."
