The Death List Novel - Chapter 312
Chapter 312 Assignment
“Fei Jie, you like Qin Lun?” The melody looked at the beautiful woman who was knitting her eyebrows tightly and smiled as if she was full of worries.
“I… How could I like that guy?” Fei Jie was shocked and blurted out.
“Haha, you know I’m a music hunter, my ears are very sensitive. Especially in the dead of night, I often hear some unusual sounds.” The melody narrowly blinked at Fei Da Beauty.
“That … was an accident.” Fei Jie blushed and looked at the melody in embarrassment. “Isn’t it all to get justice for you that that little thief took advantage of you?”
“He came from Meteor Street. Perhaps he isn’t suitable for you!” The melody looked at Fei Jie and said seriously.
“Hmph, that guy left this morning without saying hello. I won’t care about him!” Fei Jie’s eyes were blurry, and she did not notice that her words were somewhat contradictory.
After a while, Fei Jie turned around somewhat lonely and whispered, “Melody, don’t tell anyone about this, okay?”
“En!” Melody nodded in agreement.
Just as the two of them were silent, a sound came from outside. Coolapika and Bi Xin came back, but what surprised Fei Jie and Melody was that both of them had tired faces, as if they had fought a great battle.
When the melody was asked in confusion, the two of them exchanged glances and smiled bitterly. Dog keeper Skuwara and another veteran bodyguard, Shakimono, were not in the hotel at the moment. They were out on business. Only they and Da Zuonie accompanied Nyon shopping. They were exhausted.
This was the first time she realized the difficult part of Nion’s boss. Although Nion didn’t have any airs, the eldest miss of the Norstra family was too playful. Moreover, buying everything was like moving a house, scaring the two powerful hunters to the ground.
“Now I know why Scovala and Shakimono would run away like rabbits when they heard that they were shopping with Boss.” Bi Xin squeezed his knuckles and gritted his teeth ferociously.
“Eh?” Just as Bi Xin was complaining, the melody suddenly turned around and looked at Miss Nyon’s room.
“Melody, what’s wrong?” Ku Lapika knew that the melody was very good, so his eyes lit up and he asked cautiously.
Before the melody could reply, they immediately knew what had happened. The sound of banging could be heard from afar in Nion’s room.
They were the guards of the Norstra Family, and their room was not far from Nion’s suite. Adding on the fact that the Norstra family had booked rooms nearby, they were the only guests on this floor, and they could tell that it was Nion’s room.
“Something happened to the boss?” Everyone’s expressions changed as they hurriedly rushed out of the living room and rushed towards Nion’s room.
However, as soon as they reached the corridor, they saw Da Zuonie running out of Nyon’s room with his head curled up. The captain of the Norstra Family’s guards was now swollen with a big bag on his forehead. He looked as miserable as he could be.
“Captain, is something wrong?” Coolapika could vaguely guess something and immediately suppressed his laughter and asked.
“No, it’s nothing. Follow me!” Da Zuonie gritted his teeth and touched the big bag on his head. He helplessly waved to the crowd, signaling them to follow him.
When they arrived at Zuo Nie’s room, the four of them discovered that the rest of the guards, including Ivalev, Celestial, Shakimono, and Skuwara, had also arrived.
“Cough cough, you all know that Boss is a diviner.” Da Zuonie’s expression became serious. “Actually, before the three Dark Beasts came, several big shots had already asked the BOSS to divine. In their prophecy poem, the same dangerous sign appeared, indicating that there would be a group of powerful attackers at this auction.”
“At that time, we did not know the specific attacker.” “It wasn’t until the arrival of the three Dark Beasts that we deduced the existence of the Phantom Brigade from the prophecy poem,” Ivalev added.
“Because of this unexpected situation, I asked Master Wright to cancel participating in this auction. However, as you all know, Boss is a human collector and is determined to obtain some human specimens from this auction, so Master Wright rejected my request.” Da Zuonie said with a bitter smile.
“Captain, this is too dangerous!” Coolapika said with a frown.
Although the youth was eager to avenge the Phantom Brigade, he was unwilling to put Nion in danger. The eldest young miss of the Norstra family was indeed a little willful, but she was very kind in her heart. After getting along with her for a period of time, everyone liked this boss very much and treated her as their little sister.
‘”Haha, Miss Nyon won’t go to the auction. Although Master Wright refused my request, he didn’t allow Miss Nyon to participate in the auction either. He told us to keep an eye on the BOSS, so the bidding for the auction is up to us.” Da Zuonie said solemnly.
“Then just now” Everyone understood and wore a smile on their faces.
“You all know a little about Boss’s temper. She made a fuss just now and is now asleep!” When Da Zuonie thought of what had happened in Nion’s room, he still felt a slight pain in his forehead.
“Captain, if you insist on participating in the auction, then we need to make a good plan!” Coolapika lowered his head and pondered. His eyes flashed with an undetectable red light. Only the melody beside him inadvertently glanced at him.
‘”Yes, the princess mummy, the scarlet eye and the tissue containing the DNA of actress Sera are the items designated by the BOSS. Among them, the princess mummy will appear at the auction tomorrow night. We need to take it down at all costs.” Da Zuonie said firmly.
“However, we cannot ignore the safety work.” Da Zuonie pondered for a moment before looking at everyone’s orders. “The auction will start at 9 o’clock tomorrow night. Celestial and Bi Xin will be responsible for monitoring the back door of the auction house. Coolapika and melody will be responsible for the front door. Ivalev, Federer and Shakimono will be responsible for entering the auction house. Skuara and I will be watching the boss. Do you have any other questions?”
Everyone shook their heads. Da Zuonie was indeed the captain of the guards. The personnel were arranged very carefully. They couldn’t find anything wrong with him. All three groups had assigned a combat-type hunter, and there were also two auxiliary-type hunters with exceptionally sharp senses, Cold Immortal and Melody, at the front and back doors.
Regardless of whether it was fighting or rescuing, they had basically achieved the best results of this team.
“In addition … because the underground auction is organized by gangsters from all over the world and pays great attention to credibility, there are no surveillance videos at the auction site.” “Be careful not to clash with others, or you’ll get into a lot of trouble,” Da Zuonie warned. “Is there any other problem?”
“Captain, since we know that the attacker is from the Phantom Brigade, the three members of the Dark Beast Organization …”
“The Dark Beast Organization will not take the initiative to provoke the Phantom Brigade. After all, they have some form of cooperation with Meteor Street. It is impossible for them to trust us completely because of the divination of a few people.” Da Zuonie said helplessly, “However, Master Wright had previously revealed some information. The gang seems to have attracted attention and sent out a Dark Beast subordinate force to protect the venue.”
After some discussion, everyone dispersed again. However, the relaxed expression on their faces from the previous two days was no longer there.
“What are you doing now?” Fei Jie returned to her room and looked out of the window in a daze.
…
“Ha Qiu!” Qin Lun sneezed a few times and rubbed his nose strangely. Ever since he transformed into the Law Body, he didn’t seem to have caught a cold anymore.
Putting aside the distractions in his heart, Qin Lun looked at his surroundings with some distress. He was currently wandering around the outskirts of York City, surrounded by an abandoned city that had long since been uninhabited, with dilapidated apartment buildings and abandoned construction sites everywhere.
Yin and Lisa thought that the young man was addicted to beauty and stayed in the hotel. In fact, Qin Lun only used the excuse to send them away to make it easier for him to move alone.
In the two camps of the Hunter and the Thief, Qin Lun was indeed a little hard to decide. He didn’t deny that Fei Jie was a factor in his choice of the hunter side, but according to the young man’s wishes, he really wanted to see the mysterious Phantom Brigade. They were different from the S-class criminals in this world. It was only because the enemy was too strong that he hesitated.
However, it wasn’t Fei Jie that made him decide the faction, but Ku Lapika. During the early morning sparring, Qin Lun noticed that Coolapika must be hiding some sort of powerful psychic ability.
Currently, only Coolapika had appeared on the hunter’s side. Based on this deduction, he should have a few companions. As long as they had the skills of a Coolapika, it seemed like this was a good choice.
Moreover, judging from the main mission’s prompt, the Hunter Squad also had very important storyline characters in their original history. Since they could all survive, Qin Lun definitely didn’t believe that his participation would be counterproductive.
In the end, the young man decided to gamble. Back then, a quasi-colonel mission had allowed him to obtain the sub-legendary item, the Knight Iron Cross. This time, the difficulty of the mission had reached the level of a Lieutenant Colonel, and his strength had also increased by a lot. Could it be that he didn’t have the confidence to obtain greater benefits?
More importantly, the hunter had the advantage of Nion, so Qin Lun didn’t think that he would be in great danger. At worst, he would follow Coolapika all the time. That handsome youth who looked pretty good shouldn’t be used as cannon fodder by his comrades from the same standpoint, right?
Qin Lun deliberately went to the ruined suburbs of the city not to avoid the battlefield, but to find the camp of the Phantom Brigade before the auction started.
A Thief Guild like the Phantom Brigade wasn’t hard to find. These people were all S-class criminals, and some of their information must have been recorded in the Hunter’s Association’s intelligence. Currently, there were a large number of hunters gathered in the city. They would definitely not stay in hotels, and could only find a few places to stay temporarily.
Before the auction officially started, there shouldn’t be any wanton killing of pedestrians. Young people with detection halos and clock eyes had a certain chance of finding their temporary nest. Although the chances were low, if a conspirator like Qin Lun really found out, the Phantom Brigade would have to peel off their skin in the next few days if they didn’t die.
