Chapter 287 The Weird Attacker
The visitor stopped at the door of the apartment. Xing Ze remembered that they had not closed the door after entering, and the other party was obviously suspicious.
"Stay here." Xing Ze left a word and flashed to the living room, but before he could see the man's face clearly, a cold light had already appeared in front of him.
The other party was very fast, at least not inferior to Xing Ze in reaction. The coldness of the dagger penetrated into Xing Ze's face. He turned to the left to dodge, trying to use the opponent's momentum to pull his hand.
But the visitor was proficient in fighting. His other hand blocked Xing Ze's grab. With a twist of his waist, the dagger was retracted in vain and went to Xing Ze's shoulder.
Xing Ze had no way to avoid it, and launched the magic he had prepared. As expected, the dagger did not break his armor protection. Immediately afterwards, his hand was like a snake, wrapping around the other party's arm. With a low roar, the visitor was thrown out directly.
Ellie rushed from the study, and after seeing the attacker who smashed the coffee table, she immediately cast a magic ray.
The attacker pulled up his cloak to block the ray, and quickly stood up before Xing Ze's magic arrived. His cloak once again worked, this time it successfully blocked the missiles cast by Xing Ze.
The failure of magic several times made the eldest lady a little annoyed. She quickly recited a spell, and the sound of crackling electricity sounded in the air.
But the other party did not give them enough time. Three darts were shot at them. Xing Ze easily dodged one of them, and the other two were bounced aside by the strong current surrounding Ellie.
However, Xing Ze's keen hearing still caught the buzzing sound of the three darts, "Wait, Ellie!"
The three darts exploded, accompanied by blue lightning. Xing Ze let the blue beak unfold at the first time and wrapped Ellie and himself.
But the lightning magic was ruined. The lightning arrow shot to the ceiling, destroyed a large chandelier above, and then ran along the wall, until it destroyed half of the points in the room.
Just as Xing Ze and the others were dodging the explosion and the electric current, the strange attacker took the opportunity to rush into the study, followed by the sound of glass breaking.
When Ellie and Xing Ze arrived at the study, the insane Shakespeare was already dead, and the blood from the wound on his chest slowly dripped onto the floor.
The young lady let out a long breath, and she said a little depressed: "Did you see his face clearly?"
"Too dark." Xing Ze stuck his head out of the window, and the attacker had disappeared.
"Damn, what's the matter with that guy's cloak? Neither of our spells worked."
"Magic resistance?" Xing Ze guessed.
The young lady shook her head and said: "Magic resistance robes are only allocated to Aurors and special protection targets, and few civilian wizards can get them. What's more, you saw that he used a sword. Merlin's beard, is there anyone using a sword in this era?"
"He was also wearing armor, a soft iron breastplate. The kind that only medieval knights would wear." Xing Ze said as he walked to the side of Shakespeare.
"So the one fighting us is a knight who traveled through time? This world is getting crazier and crazier."
Maybe he's just an enthusiast. Xing Ze thought, a traveler who loves medieval literature, a traveler with a bat-explosive dart.
He reached out and closed the dead man's eyes, and took out his phone from his inner pocket and hid it in his own pocket.
There were chaotic footsteps coming from the door, and Rayben asked loudly outside about the situation inside. After getting Xing Ze's answer that it was safe, he and Harris walked into the house together.
"What happened?" Harris fanned away the gunpowder with his hand, "Is it a grenade?"
"Not sure, we were attacked by a weird guy in armor." Ellie replied, "Didn't you see any strange people outside?"
Although he couldn't understand what Ellie said, Rayben still replied: "No, we rushed here as soon as we heard the explosion."
"Let your people pay attention to the surroundings, the attacker should still be nearby. Be very careful when you see suspicious people, that guy is very powerful." Xing Ze warned.
The superintendent nodded, picked up the intercom and began to arrange for his men.
"What happened to him?" Harris pointed to the body behind the desk.
Xing Ze shrugged, "If I'm not mistaken, he should be a member of Frank's team. The only one left. But..."
"Oh, damn, was it that attacker who did it?"
Seeing Xing Ze nodded, Harris pressed his forehead, "Boss, let the criminal investigation department send someone to take a look, maybe we can find some clues. Oh, by the way, there is another one below."
"Is he dead too?" The eldest lady frowned and asked.
"Also?"
"That guy pretended to be the manager of this apartment building, but he is actually a killer. You can find the real manager in the bathroom in that room."
Hearing this, Harris's face darkened, "Two intruders?"
"I don't think they are in the same group." Xing Ze denied, "Anyway, I leave this to you. Also, I found Frank's pickup truck in the parking lot. You may want to question the guard."
"Where are you going?"
"Change clothes." Xing Ze pulled at the shirt that smelled of burnt.
...
After a simple spell, Xing Ze's shirt returned to its original state. Although some small holes burned by sparks could not be restored, it was harmless.
As for the eldest lady, her magic robe worth hundreds of gold galleons is not for show. The excellent defensive patterns can well block lightning and explosions.
They found a teahouse not far from the apartment. On the one hand, they can temporarily repair and sort out the existing clues, and on the other hand, they can see if the Muggle police can find the strange attacker.
But in Xing Ze's opinion, it may not be easy to catch that person. Blue Beak from that Shakespeare, ah, no, his name should be Quentin Coldwater.
From Quentin's memory, Xing Ze got a lot of useful things. Although these memories are quite fragmented, as long as you spend time to sort them out carefully, you can get a lot of useful information.
According to the information that can be obtained so far, the four bodies are members of Frank's team, and without exception, they are all time travelers.
Among them, the pink girl driving the sports car is called Julia. She is generous and looks like a rich lady. The biggest and strongest one is called Gio, and the other man is called Ililo. The youngest girl is called Diane.
However, Xing Ze was unable to find out from Quentin's memory where they had gone and what they had experienced to become like this.
He could only speculate based on some existing clues that they must have been attacked by the snake man, and Quentin luckily ran out and found Frank, who brought him here in a pickup truck.
He then went to the scene again, and after confirming that the other members had died, he went to his office to take away the information, but he didn't expect that the other party had already been waiting for him there.
However, this speculation seems reasonable, but it is full of loopholes.
