Chapter 315 Masked Man in Black

The sound was so intermittent that if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to detect it.

Listening to the frequency of this sound, it doesn't sound like a cat or dog breaking in, but more like a human being walking in at night.

"Could it be a thief?" I was thinking about whether I should go out and see who he was. Suddenly, an idea appeared in my mind, which shocked me: "Could it be an assassin?"

I remember that not long ago, I offended Charles and not only embarrassed him, but also killed two of his men.

Harold once told me that people like Charles tended to hold grudges easily and asked me to strengthen the defenses at home.

Although I listened to his words and kept them in mind, it was not easy to set up defenses. The most difficult question was where to set up defenses.

People are mobile, but defenses are immobile. As long as you find a way to get around it or destroy the defenses, you can easily sneak in.

As for making that kind of unbreakable defense facility, firstly, there are no professional designers, and secondly, there is not enough money to support it.

So ideas are just ideas, and as soon as they are put into action, they are aborted.

If I hadn't been unable to sleep today, I might not have even noticed that someone had broken in.

I did not wake up the sleeping Jackson. His snoring was very loud, and people outside were likely to hear it clearly. Once the snoring changed, the assassin outside would most likely escape quickly.

He took out the Nadachi sword, held the handle in his hand, walked slowly to the door, put his ear against it, and listened.

The sound is still the same, neither far nor near, intermittent.

I slowly pushed the door open a small crack, looked through the small crack into the yard, and looked in the direction of the sound.

Through the moonlight, I saw a man in black wearing a mask sitting on the wall of my courtyard, holding a small stone in his hand and paddling it back and forth.

However, every time he stroked, he would lift the hand holding the stone, stretch it forward, and drop it to the starting point of the previous stroke, and then stroke hard again.

He kept repeating this, and while repeating, his legs kept shaking, like a child kicking water.

The distance between the courtyard wall and the door of my room is about ten meters. Based on my explosive power, I can kill him in about two seconds. I am afraid that the person in front of me is already on guard and turns over the wall while I rush out. This would be dangerous. There is some trouble.

Seeing that he just kept repeating this action without any other actions, I gave up on trying to scare the snake, but slowly pushed them away and walked out openly.

Although my movements are calm and composed, I still have to carry a knife. It is not only a tool for self-defense, but also a weapon that can kill the opponent at any time without saying a word.

When the people on the wall saw me slowly coming out, they did not escape over the wall. Instead, they threw away the stones in their hands, waved at me, then turned over and jumped off the wall.

I thought about it and climbed up the wall. I took a quick look under the wall and found no ambush or trap. At the same time, a masked man in black was standing under the wall, waving to me.

I jumped down and stood in front of him, about two meters away from him.

This distance is my best defense distance, and it is also my best attack distance. I am confident that I can dodge any hidden weapons issued by the man in black in front of me, and be able to chop off his head in the blink of an eye.

My hand rested on the handle of the Naotachi casually, with no expression on my face.

"Why are you so nervous~"

The masked person in black spoke, her voice was soft and pleasant, and she was a woman.

"Who are you?" I asked seriously.

"How cold." The masked man in black smiled sweetly: "Don't you remember my voice?"

This voice did not sound unfamiliar to me. I thought about it carefully and counted the voices I had heard from the people I had met one by one. Soon, I had the number, but I remained calm and said: "What are you talking about? What?"

She snorted softly, as if she was losing her temper: "I have remembered it all, and I still pretend not to remember it. All of you men are really dishonest."

Now that she had pointed it out, I stopped pretending to be stupid and asked straight to the point: "What are you doing at my house?"

"Of course I came to your house to find you~" She leaned against the wall, fiddling with something unknown in her hand.

"What are you doing with me?" I asked.

She raised her head, looked at me with her shining eyes, and said, "Do you really know nothing?"

"What do you know?" I frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"It seems that you are only good at fighting, but you are weak in other aspects."

"What do you want to express?" I don't like to talk in circles, and I said a little unhappy: "If you are just here to mock me, then you can go back."

"Really, you are not a gentleman at all," she snorted.

I stared at her twirling hands and said in a lukewarm tone: "I'm not a gentleman, and there's no need to pretend to be a gentleman. If you have something to do, just tell me. When you're done, I can go back and rest."

Her breathing became slightly louder, and I felt like she was holding her breath.

Two minutes later, without saying anything, I jumped up and jumped directly to the courtyard wall. I was about to go back to the house to rest, but I heard a masked man in black behind me saying: "Are you really not going to listen? This is a very urgent matter. It may be related to the life of your companion."

I paused and stopped on the wall. After thinking for a while, I jumped down again. My voice was extremely serious and I said, "What do you mean by this?"

She returned to her arrogant nature again and teased me: "Want to know? Please beg me, please and I will tell you."

I bared my teeth, quickly pulled out the sword in my hand, flashed it, and then quickly retracted it again. The whole process was so fast that even I couldn't see clearly, only a shadow flashed by.

The masked person in black clothes was stunned for a moment, and then, her headscarf slowly parted from the middle, falling to the ground like a veil, and her black hair fell down and draped over her shoulders.

Her eyes are slightly pointed, not human, and her cheeks are thin, much like an elf, but I'm still not sure whether she is really an elf.

"One more time, it won't be your headscarf that gets chopped off," I said coldly.

There was no fear in her eyes, but full of anger: "Why, you will chop off my head next time! Don't forget, I saved your life in the underground city ! Is this how you treat your savior?"

After listening to her words quietly, I raised the corner of my mouth and smiled slightly: "When did I say that I would chop off your head? I will just chop off your face and expose your true face to me. "

After saying that, I raised my head, stared at the stars in the sky, and said calmly: "Moreover, even if you didn't shoot the arrow that time, I wouldn't have been killed by President Laoshizi's combat skills. At most, I would have been injured. So, at this point, I want to thank you.”
