On the Seven Towers

As the night deepened and the rain got heavier, Prato, who was lying in ambush near the office, began preparations for the operation.

In a house of the Shadow Group, the people who were going to participate in the operation tonight were lined up in front of him and Macola. He had fewer people than Sancho, only eight, but they were all his direct subordinates, and none of them were mediocre.

After Prato assigned the two of them to a group, he told them: "These people from Montenegro are very strange. Sancho's subordinates and several of our brothers disappeared inexplicably before, and we don't know whether they are dead or alive. So, when you work, be careful and keep your eyes open. As long as we catch people, we can slowly find out the truth, so if we can catch people, retreat. No one should be so stubborn and cause trouble for me, otherwise I won't forgive him, understand?"

"Sir, they shouldn't know that we are coming to attack. It's not easy to catch a few ordinary people."

"The few who disappeared before I guess everyone thinks so. Even if you are ordinary people, you have to be alert, as if there is a master-level expert guarding inside! "

"Yes! Sir, we will be careful."

"One thing to note is that we are going to capture people, not to kill people." At this time, Markola interrupted, "Before you figure out the details of these mages, be slow."

"Don't worry." Prato said, "My people know what they should do."

At this time, the lights in the house were basically extinguished, and Prato's four groups of people sneaked into the house from four different directions.

——————————————————————

The first group was two assassins, a man and a woman, who climbed over the outer wall on one side of the garden. After they landed, they found that there was no one around, only a dog staring at them, neither barking nor running away.

The two assassins looked at each other, and the male assassin took out the prepared meat strips from his arms and threw them in front of it. But the dog was completely indifferent to the food. Instead, it circled around the two assassins, as if it wanted to see through them from head to toe.

"Is there something wrong with this dog's brain?" the male assassin said. The dog heard his hoarse voice and shook its head slowly.

"Just kill it. What if it barks when we take two steps?" Although the female assassin's words were cruel, her voice was very pleasant. The dog nodded repeatedly after hearing it.

"This dog is really sick. It actually agreed to let you kill it." The male assassin drew out his dagger, lay on his knees, and arched his back to get close to the dog's neck. The dog shook his head again when he saw his ugly and wretched figure.

"Hurry up." The female assassin put her hands on her waist. She was fit and tall, and the dog wagged its tail in satisfaction.

At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew inexplicably. The wind came very fast and the angle was very strange. It actually blew off the hoods of the two assassins.

The male assassin was a rough man with untidy beard and messy hair like a bird's nest, while the female assassin had long dark blue hair tied in a bun at the back of her head. Her face was a little thin, but her face was quite beautiful. The dog took a look at the man's face and ignored him, but happily jumped around the female assassin, with greed in its eyes.

"Dog." The male assassin had an illusion that the dog had just looked at him with a very sarcastic expression. Although he didn't rely on his face to make a living, he was already angry that a dog despised his appearance. He had a fierce look on his face and stabbed the dog's neck with the dagger in his hand quickly.

At the moment he made his move, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. The dog suddenly began to grow larger, larger than a lion, larger than an elephant, and finally as large as a mountain.

The surrounding gardens and houses also changed their appearance, turning into rugged mountains. The sky turned purple and red, and fire rained from the sky.

The dog's skin turned dark, and even had scales on it. Its fangs were longer than the assassin's body, and flames were spewing from its bloody mouth.

Although the assassin was an experienced warrior, he was still stunned by this drastic change. Even though he had realized that this was an illusion, he didn't know how he should react.

Then, he seemed to hear a few crisp sounds in his ears. Then his eyes went black and he fell down.

Li Tianrui put his hand on the side of the male assassin's neck and confirmed that the guy with three holes in his head was completely dead. Not far in front of him, there was a dead dog and a woman lying on the ground trembling all over.

The female assassin rolled her eyes and foamed at the mouth, looking like she was having an epileptic seizure. But what was even more weird than the onset of the disease was that there was a ball of clear air in her head, constantly circling around her brain.

She also lost control of her fighting spirit, and blue air appeared and disappeared on her body, freezing the wet dry grass around her into ice crystals.

Li Tianrui didn't dare to be careless and kept pointing his gun at her.

He never thought that the usually stupid dog could be such a terrifying...monster. It easily killed an assassin without him noticing. It devoured the soul of another assassin and tried to occupy her body.

No wonder Mei had a playful expression on her face when he asked her how she could only have a dog as a partner.

The trembling of the female assassin became lighter and lighter, and finally calmed down, as if she was asleep. Li Tianrui waited for a few minutes, and the other party didn't move at all. He took a step forward and moved closer. At this moment, the woman's eyes suddenly opened and she sat up straight.

Li Tianrui was so frightened that he took two steps back and almost sat on the ground.

The woman who sat up was a little stiff in her movements. She wiped the foam on her face with her sleeves, but she wiped the foam even wider. She opened her mouth like a puppet and gave Li Tianrui a warm smile.

"Who are you?" Li Tianrui pointed the gun at the woman's head.

"I'm a book spirit." The woman slowly stood up.

"How do you prove that you are a book spirit? I mean, your two souls were fighting just now, how do I know who swallowed whom?" Li Tianrui did not relax at all. No matter whether the woman in front of him was a book spirit or not, he felt a A visceral fear.

"Do you think the soul is two pieces of plasticine, and you can know each other's memories by rubbing them together?" The woman stood up and moved her arms while saying, "Okay. Yesterday you slipped me twice in the yard. He also got me a thigh bone from the kitchen. What you are holding is a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. You are afraid of me now because you have watched too many horror movies. I am not a zombie or a puppet. I am already a real person. ”

"It seems you are really a book spirit."

"Well, although this title is very nostalgic, I should have a name now." The woman tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled. This smile was slightly more natural than before, which made Li Tianrui feel more at ease.

"My name will be Xiao Mu."
