He Ao lowered his head and looked at the pool of blood at his feet.

The raindrops falling into the pool of blood have blurred the original shape of the pool of blood, but through the hazy rain curtain, He Ao can still roughly see the symbols that the pool of blood once formed.

It was a symbol drawn in blood, 'K'.

And in the center of the pool of blood, where He Ao had just knelt down, was a strange black and white smiling mask.

Of all the occult knowledge, the one that Jace studies the most is the knowledge related to sacrifice, because it involves the production of genetic potions.

Likewise, he also understands the appetite of the ‘Evil Gods’ very well. With the sacrifices he can provide, the Evil God will never lower his power beyond D level. No god will help him, and he has no support.

All his occult knowledge comes from three places, the old professor, the detective agency, and the mysterious man. The old professor has been killed, the detective agency will never take on anything beyond their capabilities, and the mysterious man is the one who wants to kill him.

He was at the end of his rope.

Therefore, he can only place his hope on the hidden existence 'K' he has seen before. Even if he does not know any sacrificial rituals related to 'K', he does not know whether this 'K' will provide help, but like

The drowning man grasps the life-saving straw.

He has no choice.

This scene reminded He Ao of Joey, who also had nothing.

Joey is innocent, he is not old enough to do anything.

And Jace was kind, he never did anything.

But they came to the same intersection at different times.

He Ao slowly knelt down, picked up the mask on the ground, and put it on his face.

The blood stained on the lower edge of the mask was imprinted on the outline of his cheek, flowing along the hazy raindrops into the silent night.

puff--

It was the sound of footsteps stepping across the pond and the splashing of blooming water.

In the silent night, the footsteps are getting closer and closer.

······

"This damn rain has washed away all the blood stains. That guy should be nearby."

The man in the exoskeleton armor raised his hand and glanced at the bright display in his hand. He picked up the dagger from his waist with the other hand and said, "My armor is almost out of power. How can this guy be like a mouse?"

Same."

Hazy raindrops slid down the hard metal outline of the armor.

"He is an extraordinary person after all," another man holding a gauss gun beside the man who spoke laughed, "his physical fitness is much better than ours."

"I heard that guy doesn't dare to kill anyone?"

The man who spoke first was holding his Gauss gun and walking in front, watching the surroundings with an infrared detector while slowly exploring forward.

The rain curtain obviously affected the effect of the infrared display, and the display screen was full of mottled noise.

He turned on the strong flashlight fixed on his helmet, illuminating the area in front of him.

"Yes, the gang members who attacked him were all knocked unconscious by him, and he didn't kill them," the man walking behind laughed, "so when you see him later, you just shoot him, anyway.

He won't kill anyone either."

He raised his head and glanced at the gray sky, "This rainy day is really bad. Without the rain, we would have found him a long time ago, but he was hit by a sniper. Even if he was not dead, he would not be alive for long. He shouldn't be able to run very far."

.”

"Be careful, rabbits can bite when they are anxious."

The man walking in front whispered.

"really."

The man behind nodded.

The two of them walked a few steps forward. The man in front suddenly stopped, squatted down, and stared at his feet. "It's blood stains. He should be nearby."

"I didn't expect to be hit by us." The man behind held the Gauss gun tightly in his hand. "The team that kills the target first will be rewarded with federal currency. This may be the easiest money we have ever received."

The electronic map on the monitor in his hand showed that this was a dead end.

"When this time is over, I will go to the dance hall to party all night, open a bottle of the most expensive wine, and pour it on those bitches."

The man in front also stood up and showed a sinister smile.

The two of them kept walking quickly along the alley.

Soon, they arrived at the end of the alley, where there was only a pool of blood that had been washed away by the rain.

"Ran?"

The man in front looked at the wall at the end of the alleyway with some confusion.

boom--

At this moment, there was a slight sound behind them.

"behind!"

The two men immediately turned their heads and fired in the direction of the sound behind them without hesitation.

Boom boom——

With a violent sound, the wall was shattered by bullets from the Gauss gun in the rain curtain, causing a splash of gravel.

A hole was opened in the solid wall, revealing the building behind the wall, but there were no residual limbs or blood around the hole.

Fell into a trap!

The two immediately stood back to back and looked around.

At this moment, a masked figure fell from the wall on the side and landed in front of the man behind.

The man stared at the black and white mask, aiming at the figure in front of him and about to shoot, but the figure moved faster. He quickly pulled out the dagger inserted in the man's waist, and raised his arm to the man's neck like a phantom.

.

The sharp blade penetrated into his neck along the gap between the helmet and the body.

"Gulong——"

The man opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but blood filled his neck.

The man standing in front realized something, turned around immediately, and pulled the trigger.

With a roaring sound, the bullet hit the companion's body, passed through the companion's exoskeleton armor, and exploded with a roar.

Blood obscured his vision.

At this moment, he felt a stinging pain in the back of his neck. The sharp dagger penetrated sideways from the back of his neck, diagonally downward along the cervical vertebrae, and pierced his trachea and carotid artery.

He struggled and fell forward.

Bright red blood flowed along with the rainwater into the drainage outlet at the edge of the alley.

He Ao pulled out the dagger, squatted down, turned on the monitor on the man's arm, and clicked on the map interface. Suddenly, small red dots appeared in his field of vision.

1···2···3······30

Including these two people, there are thirty people in total. Judging from their appearance, they should belong to some mercenary organization.

The sniper should not be among the thirty people.

In addition to the sniper, Jace also felt an unusually powerful aura while escaping, which was most likely C-level.

I just don't know if this C-class is a mercenary or a member of that mysterious man.

Thirty people are almost a full mercenary combat team.

A standard combat team, at least one sniper, and at least one C-class transcendent.

I really look up to Jace.

He Ao noted down the approximate location of these mercenaries and picked up the two Gauss rifles on the ground.

These two guns are G-K2 Gauss rifles sold externally by Ives Space Systems Company. They are top-notch commercial models and are generally only sold to large mercenary groups.

There were five bullets in a single magazine, and now there were three and four bullets left in the two guns. He Ao found five magazines from the man whose body was still intact.

Thirty-two rounds in total.

He Ao clicked on his personal information and took a look at his current information.
