Chapter 1606 - 513: How Hard Is He to Kill? (Part 2)

Chapter 1606: Chapter 513: How Hard Is He to Kill? (Part 2)

But even knowing the "unknowable," certain that such an individual exists, no one still knows any information about it.

Of course, the Bunker People have given it an apt and resounding name—Lord of Concealment.

This is also what almost everyone calls the ’unknowable.’

Only the people from the Commerce Association insist on calling it ’unknowable.’

"The ’unknowable’ has always been lurking around Jin Zhenyuan and that gentleman, these two people are too dangerous, so presently in Hunter City, you are the only one who can participate in killing Wen Xishu."

The merchant’s messenger continued:

"If everything goes smoothly, we will gain an immense reward in advance, a change significant enough to alter the entire world."

"And you, Leslie, you will be the top contributor."

Leslie was quite helpless:

"I have no choice. Besides, it does seem like Hunter City is planning a big move. Given this, I can only accept, can’t I?"

The merchant’s messenger said:

"Yes, you have no choice, and you shouldn’t be too afraid, Wen Xishu can be killed, Qing’s failure might have just been due to the home advantage."

"Besides, you are more suited for assassination than Qing. Moreover, we happen to know Wen Xishu’s upcoming schedule."

The merchant indeed knew.

Upon learning that Wen Xishu had somehow lost the identity of a Bunker Person, the merchant calculated everything, knowing Wen Xishu would inevitably try to find a way back to the bunker.

To return to the bunker, he must find Capricorn.

And coincidentally, in Mechanical City, they have their informant, with Capricorn and Jin Zhenyuan’s side there also being intelligence from the ’unknowable.’

The merchant found this to be an excellent opportunity, Wen Xishu’s fate trajectory could be completely wiped out at this moment.

To make all the impacts he would have on the future vanish instantly.

As long as they could assassinate Wen Xishu before he returned to the bunker!

Coincidentally, the merchant knew both the start and endpoint of Wen Xishu. This was simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Your assassination skills are said to be the best in Hunter City. Qing is more suited for frontal combat. But if it’s assassination, you’re far more powerful than Qing."

"Besides, this isn’t the bunker, this is our home ground, how strong can Wen Xishu really be?"

Finally, Leslie accepted the task, as it was his unavoidable fate.

...

...

Mechanical City.

On the second day, Wen Xishu indeed received the intelligence given by Yuan. In fact, it was not Yuan who gave it, but Pisces who did.

It was just that through Taurus, it was communicated to Yuan, and then by Yuan to Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu actually faintly felt—as if he was being set up, like an invisible giant hand was manipulating him to go to certain places.

"This is a route map, according to the intelligence I know, you might go to a special city before reaching Capricorn at the endpoint. In that city, there is Libra."

"You must be careful."

Yuan didn’t say anything about destroying Libra’s conspiracy. She knew very well that Wen Xishu had a certain... whenever he encounters something, it inevitably triggers a major event, a special trait.

Like a gambler’s exclusive fate. This road back to the bunker was destined to be full of variables, possibly welcoming an "adventure" shortly after leaving Mechanical City.

Wen Xishu only felt as if someone was arranging him.

He guessed it might be Pisces.

But there was no way because the direction of the Compass and the route map given by Yuan were exactly the same.

So soon, he bid farewell to Yuan, signifying in true sense, his departure from Mechanical City

That day, Yuan was visibly shaken, and said to Wen Xishu:

"If you’re willing to stay here, you can still live well."

Even Zhou Xiaoxiao tried to persuade him:

"Brother Shu, I don’t want you to leave either. The outside world is very dangerous."

To this, Wen Xishu simply replied:

"But going outside is the unavoidable right thing for me to do. You must also learn to do the right thing in the future."

Before the unknown sequence chooses Xiaoxiao, Wen Xishu hoped that Zhou Xiaoxiao could already stand on her own "mentally."

So that she wouldn’t suffer a terrible fate like the hapless people in the Deceit Tower.

...

...

Starting from receiving the task from the non-Human Race...

Wen Xishu had already been in the Great World for thirteen days.

In the Slaughter Tower, this number is considered very inauspicious, known for triggering monster waves.

Since leaving Mechanical City, Wen Xishu had also been very cautious. For every segment of the journey, he would summon the mechanical core and arm himself as a member of the Mechanical Race.

The purpose was to switch forms, to perceive his future.

Unfortunately, the Pisces form, and Scorpio form, as Wen Xishu’s body became genuinely human... were significantly weakened.

The future that Wen Xishu could see was very limited, and his ability to convert scenarios into games was also weakened.

Instead, the Albert form, not only was unaffected, but seemed to become stronger.

But still, all the way, Wen Xishu was very careful, often switching forms and perceiving the future.

However, there were still gaps.

The current Pisces form, now just like an active skill, allowed perceiving changes a few minutes into the future.

But it had a long cooldown time, which also created a time blind spot in Wen Xishu’s future perception.

This blind spot hid deadly threats.

All the way, Wen Xishu never stopped, almost always following the Compass. After leaving Mechanical City, he continued until he arrived at an already abandoned small town, devoid of people, not even monsters.

He remained on high alert, fully perceiving.

Yet, he still didn’t notice that in a far-off place, in a tall abandoned tower in the town, a sniper had aimed his gun at him.

The Legendary Hunter of Hunter City, Leslie, backed by the information provided by the Commerce Association, had long been camping in this town, awaiting Wen Xishu’s arrival.

And finally, he awaited him.

At that moment, Leslie was thrilled.

Because he knew, if he pulled the trigger, he could kill this person who had a huge impact on the Three Towers War.

At that moment, he himself was the focal point of the world, a being that propelled history.

When Leslie was sure that Wen Xishu hadn’t noticed him, he also realized that Wen Xishu was undoubtedly going to die today.

Wen Xishu could defeat Qing in frontal combat, yet he absolutely... couldn’t avoid Leslie’s assassination.

For Leslie’s most frightening aspect was his assassination technique—Nine Deaths.

He would fire nine shots, and he only had nine bullets. Once bullets were used up, for a long period, Leslie wouldn’t have any more bullets.

And once bow was drawn, there was no turning back, and once gun was fired, there was no regret. Even certain time-related effects couldn’t restore bullets.

Damage to bullets was irreversible.

Because these bullets had the ability to destroy an opponent’s destiny.

The bullets themselves didn’t have an absolute hit effect, they could be nullified by rules, or dodged.

But once a bullet hit the opponent, it could almost kill the opponent with one shot. Because it directly ignored the opponent’s physical defenses and hit the "soul."

One of the terrifying points of Nine Deaths, in terms of "absolute damage," made it a fatal bullet of some kind.

The second terrifying part, which was the key factor.

If the target hadn’t sensed Leslie before he pulled the trigger, then they would continue to be unable to sense Leslie.

Even if hit by a bullet, even if critically injured, subjectively, nothing happened seemed to happen.

They couldn’t feel pain or danger, only realizing they were assassinated when death arrived.

So effectively, once Leslie fired, he had the ability to shoot all bullets, as long as the first shot was fired unbeknown to the target, then the target would not be aware of the ensuing eight shots before dying.

This was also Leslie’s greatest confidence.

Wen Xishu, your frontal combat ability is astounding, but you will have no chance to engage me in frontal combat!

And nine bullets are enough to kill a god.

At this time, Wen Xishu indeed hadn’t detected Leslie because Leslie was truly in the blind spot of Wen Xishu’s perception.

Also, at this moment, Leslie pulled the trigger.

What he didn’t know was that the subsequent assassination process did indeed happen as he expected, with Wen Xishu not detecting him.

But the outcome made him question life.

Current remaining bullets: 8.
