Chapter 645: Chapter 2: Council Hall

"Don’t mess around, the Duke told us to restrain ourselves."

"Got it, got it, without the Duke’s orders, how would I dare to act recklessly."

"I’m leaving first, be careful here, the Guard units of the Imperial Tower are still organizing resistance, someone might rush in."

...

Su Changxing sensed the positions of these two people, quietly waiting for one of them to leave.

Both of these guards are around Tier Seven. In his current status, he could ambush and kill one instantly without making the slightest noise.

But if there are two of them, he’ll definitely be discovered, causing a commotion, and he might end up being surrounded by a large number of people.

So, he had to patiently wait for the other person to leave and attack the one left alone.

As the footsteps gradually faded, he could no longer sense the one who left, this was the perfect time to attack. Without hesitation, he moved up.

His speed wasn’t fast, under the disguise of the Shadow Cloak, that person really had no reaction whatsoever, failing to notice his presence.

Because the world’s rules are somewhat different, Su Changxing remained extremely cautious, not relaxing in the slightest despite the opponent’s strength being far inferior to his own.

Approaching to about four meters, this distance was basically the limit; getting any closer might allow the opponent to discover his presence.

He suddenly dashed forward, a long red scythe appeared in his hand, slicing towards the back of that guard while simultaneously triggering "Deadly Backstab" and "Concentrating."

"Deadly Backstab" almost had no major consumption, conforming to the world’s rules, triggering naturally.

The guard was smoking with his back to him, showing no reaction even as the blade touched his back.

As the blood spurted, the tip of the scythe pierced through his spine and heart, the spurting blood was absorbed by the blade and disappeared without a trace. freewёbnoνel.com

Immediately after, Su Changxing casually threw the corpse into the Pocket Galaxy, leaving half a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches on the ground, with no other traces remaining.

"This should count as a perfect assassination!" Su Changxing nodded with satisfaction, picking up the cigarettes and matches from the ground.

Even if this person was discovered missing, it shouldn’t cause too much chaos in a short time.

Naturally, the cigarettes and matches are mysterious items, it seems that in this world, ordinary items are rather rare.

[Ordinary Cigarettes: Lower Rank B, cigarettes that can make an Extraordinary addicted, refreshing and invigorating.]

"Okay, no wonder he’d smoke."

Su Changxing tossed the cigarettes and matches into the Pocket Galaxy, put on the clothes of the guard just now, used the Deceiver’s ability to mimic his actions and speech tone, and even altered the muscles on his face.

Although it wasn’t exactly the same, people familiar with him could tell, but from a distance, one couldn’t recognize it at first glance.

He truly left no omissions, continuing down the stairs, sensing some activity at the very bottom.

The Empress’s ring is likely still on her, so it would be better to first confirm where the Empress died.

This is a tall tower, he would need to walk quite some distance to get down.

After descending three floors, an attendant with long golden hair and deep eyes approached him, calling out, "Have you found any trace of the Princess?"

Su Changxing noticed that this person’s outfit was different from the others, likely indicating a captain-level rank, so he nodded slightly, "No, everything is normal up there. I heard the City Guard is still resisting, so I wanted to go support them."

The person didn’t notice anything unusual about Su Changxing and turned away, saying, "Just stay here and guard, don’t let the Princess escape, she should be hiding in here!"

"Yes!" Su Changxing said sincerely, watching the person’s back, ultimately not taking action as he could sense others nearby.

After the captain completely left, Su Changxing followed along. As he progressed, the number of guards increased, yet none of them noticed Su Changxing’s anomaly.

Su Changxing noted that although these people were not weak Extraordinary, including some Tier Six, their methods were simple and they rarely had Perception Class abilities.

This also made him bolder, leisurely strolling through the castle, observing the surrounding environment.

He assumed these people, although Extraordinary, had a system quite different from them players, appearing strong but purely so.

Soon, he encountered two guards, loafing around by the side.

"I heard the Princess died miserably, still hanging there," one bearded guard with a short-barreled firearm at his waist said, leaning against the railing.

The other guard shook his head, whispering, "I heard the Duke didn’t intend to kill the Princess; it was just during an intense fight that she got accidentally killed."

"Did you see that?"

"I was outside then, couldn’t see clearly, seemed like a Rune Puppet went out of control."

Su Changxing approached, naturally interjecting, "So where is the Empress now hanging?"

"She’s hanging by the main hall...who are you!" the guard suddenly realized, looking towards Su Changxing with suspicion.

Su Changxing smiled, taking a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and saying relaxedly, "We’re all brothers here, no need to be so tense."

The guard relaxed upon seeing Su Changxing’s demeanor, "Aren’t you supposed to be more informed than us? You were directly involved in the battle before."

Su Changxing shrugged, "I wasn’t there, went to catch the Princess so didn’t join the fight, but we missed the Princess, don’t know how she escaped, we’re still looking for her."

The bearded guard seemed to hear something intriguing, exclaiming, "The Princess escaped? I thought we had caught her."

Su Changxing said seriously, "We almost caught her, it was really a pity."

The bearded guard looked around, noticing no one else was near, whispered, "Brother, you better not spread this around casually, leaking secrets could get one beheaded!"

Su Changxing’s expression remained unchanged, happily saying, "I only told you two, no one else knows, you don’t need to worry."

The two guards thoughtfully nodded, feeling like they were suddenly on the same side with him.

Su Changxing casually asked, "Do you know where the main hall is? I’d like to see the Empress’s face myself."

The bearded guard chuckled, giving a knowing look, "It’s over there. I’ve seen her, truly beautiful, such a pity."
