Why it never ends

Chapter 202 The Assassination Reappears
"This..." The smile on Pauler's face froze, "The assassin can't really be alive..."

"Otherwise why am I still here?"

Pauler's back felt a little chilly again. He reached for the phone receiver on the table and managed to pick up the landline after three or four attempts. He ordered the people below to hurry to maintain order near the reserve base.

……

At dusk, the street lights are gradually turned on, and people walk to the street, go home or go to the tavern to sit in the rose red glow.

Stella walked around the city alone for a day, and now she is resting in a small flower bed in the city center.

She took some photos today - using her newly bought second-hand Kappa II camera. Stella originally wanted to show this newly purchased camera to Victoria, but unexpectedly, this person was absent all day today. Appear.

She stood up and walked towards home, and suddenly found many people standing in front of the church, looking up at the dome of the church.

Stella was a little strange, so she also ran over to have a look.

At the highest point of the church, there was a dark figure standing there motionless, the sunset streamed on the man, as if there was an unknown stone statue on the spire of the church.The sound of police cars and ambulances could be heard in the distance—some enthusiastic citizens thought someone was going to commit suicide, so they called the police and called for an ambulance.

Out of a certain sense of professionalism, Stella immediately pointed the camera at this person, found a good angle, and took several photos in succession.

"It's moving! It's moving!" The people around him exclaimed.

Through the lens, Stella saw the man suddenly running on the roof of the church. Her movements were so light, like a swallow circling between the beams. Something--they fly high in the air like snowflakes, like swirling leaves.

The people on the ground shouted again: the church weirdo jumped directly from the dome of the main hall to the nearby bell tower.

People are looking at everything in front of them excitedly. Which acrobatic troupe's open-air performance is this?Is it a movie in progress?Or some other part of the celebration - whatever it is, it's too good to be true!

The flakes of snowflakes that fell from the sky earlier had already fallen, and people excitedly stretched out their hands to pick them up and grab them. One of them happened to fly right in front of Stella, and when she stretched out her hand, the flake flew into her fingers. between seams.

This is a piece of white photo paper.

Stella turned it over, and it showed a close-up of Schmidt, the old inspector standing under a street lamp, his left arm just blocked by the valet holding his umbrella.

In an instant, Stella recognized the strange man on the bell tower.

...the assassin.

At the same time, more mercury needles appeared in people's field of vision. They flew over the eaves and walls, pierced the sky from unexpected directions, climbed up the raised stone wall outside the bell tower, and quickly approached the assassin.

This highly ornamental and shocking scene elicited more screams.

Screaming sirens and sharp whistles came from not far away, and policemen in special uniforms began to drive away the crowd watching under the church. Stella hid behind a nearby trash can while the police were not paying attention. , and quickly picked up several other photos that fell on the ground.

Every picture is of Schmidt, but every picture of Schmidt moves differently.Stella quickly stuffed every photo she picked up into her coat pocket. In the chaos, she observed the positions of the police and the crowd left and right, and rushed towards the church when she found a gap.

No one noticed her.

Stella ran down the damp and cold stone steps to the crypt of the church—there were the entrances to the bell tower and the dome of the church.

At this moment, she felt that the blood in her whole body was boiling.

If only I could capture a close-up shot of the Assassin from the air...

It doesn't take much...

One is enough!

……

"It's still in the bell tower! Zoe! Don't be fooled by it, it's playing around with you—"

Ende's anxious yells came from the earphones, and Zoe took off the earphone microphones hanging around her neck and ears, and these small devices quickly fell and disappeared into the wind.

They were too loud for her to concentrate.

Zooey stepped on the head of the gargoyle on the top of the clock tower and gradually jumped, and circled the clock tower at an extremely fast speed, but she didn't see the shadow of the assassin——

Of course she knew that the assassin was going in circles with her!But damn it, she just can't catch this guy!

Today's assassins are more ferocious than ever before, and they have more weapons in their hands - not a steel bar made from local materials, but a thorn blade about forty centimeters long.

This way of fighting is easily reminiscent of another Mercury Needle who always uses thorns to fight...

"Zoe—!" Ende's heart-piercing voice came from afar.

Before Zooey could think about why Ende suddenly went crazy, she felt a shadow behind her. She kicked off the wall immediately to turn around, but it was too late——

Strong suffocation, uncontrolled fall, sudden stop, severe head pain.

She didn't have time to react.

All of this was much more cruel in Ende's eyes—the assassin flashed suddenly, strangled Zoe's neck from behind, and brought her down forcibly, and then the two of them fell together on a raised stone in the middle of the clock tower. On the beam, Zoe bumped her head against the wall, and a few pieces of gravel fell down.

These injuries are nothing to Zoe who has entered the bullet time. Although the pain it brings is indeed severe, Zoe still remains awake. She struggles until a cold metal edge touches her body. brow bone.

——It was a forty-centimeter thorn in the assassin's hand. It only needed to slide down a few centimeters to pierce Zoe's eyeballs and into her brain by the way.

Zoe froze.

At this moment, she smelled the strong smell of gunpowder smoke from the assassin, and felt the strong confinement of the assassin.The disparity in the strength of the enemy and the enemy was so heavy that she couldn't breathe.

But then, Zoe suddenly looked up at the thorn in the assassin's hand——

The assassin seemed to have expected her to resist in this way, the thorn lightly brushed past Zoe's eyelids, and quickly tucked it into his sleeve.

The assassin no longer strangled Zoe's neck, it let go, and Zoe fell weightlessly, but before she tried to adjust her balance in the air, the assassin grabbed her left arm again, followed by a blow A more ferocious elbow hit Zoe's cheek hard.

——By the time Zooey came back to her senses, her left arm had already been held by the assassin.

The broken bionic arm quickly lost its color, revealing the original texture of the material.

Before Zooey had time to catch her breath, she saw the assassin leaping high and fleeing towards the opposite side of the clock tower—Victoria and Susie had already chased him.

Victoria's movements were fast, almost as fast as the assassin's.Even within bullet time, Zoe can only capture individual moments.

Susie hugged Zooey and evacuated.

She leaned against Suzie's shoulder panting, her mouth full of blood.

"It's taking revenge..." Zooey tried her best to speak, "It's taking revenge on us...in the Golden Crow Palace..."

"Quiet!" Susie scolded, "I'll investigate your actions against the arrangement later."
