279. People Driven By Money
The fourth day of the conference, the final 'day of rest'.
The eight contestants who advanced to the third round are hurrying to make final preparations.
It is in stark contrast to the crowds frolicking on the beach.
And at night.....
boom!
A firm punch landed on the opponent's abdominal cavity, causing him to retch, bowing his body like a shrimp, and while bending down, Narushima Hikaru put his hands around the opponent's head
Raise your knees and rush to the top, and hit the prime minister with a high degree of completion.
The person who was attacked suddenly had a face full of flowers, his brain was concussed, and he couldn't hold the standard saber in his hand, so he fell to the ground together with his master.
"Pooh.....…"
Hikari Narishima spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, raised his hand to wipe off the nosebleed with his thumb, and looked at 02 not far away while calming down his breathing.
Contrary to Hikari Narishima, who took off his suit jacket for convenience, lifted his shirt cuffs, and fought hard and awkwardly, the clothes on 02 were still in good condition, neither injured nor dusty. , but there were several strong men lying in front of him.
I am the slowest again. "
Seeing 02 who is silently helping me to sweep the formation, Hikari Narishima feels quite helpless. Although I am not reconciled, I have to admit that there is still a big gap in strength between him and the instructors like 02257.
02 read the shape of his lips, raised the military dagger at his waist with a hook of his little finger, and pointed to the unknown people who were thrown down.
"You mean they are also mercenaries? No wonder, I just explained that the moves they use are different, but it gave me a feeling of deja vu.
Narishima Hikaru and I picked up the suit jacket that I had thrown aside before the fight started, and said thoughtfully while beating the dust and grass clippings.
In the past two months, apart from being severely drilled by Kushida Miyun with other people, he has also practiced sparringly with the instructor and his companions, and they are quite familiar with each other.
"By the way, this is the third batch, right? It was so quiet the first two days, so I thought I was only here to watch the battle. Although this is not bad, but I finally crawled out of 'hell', I always want to find Do something, and these people come at just the right time.”
They are 'hunting' outside the villa at the moment.
About an hour ago, Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai, who had just had dinner, were attacked by dangerous elements, but before the plan was implemented, Hayasaka Ai, the omnipotent maid, noticed the strangeness and took them away.
Because of what happened, Narishima Hikari and 02 were assigned by Kaguya to guard and patrol around the villa. 02 was born in [Insect] and has been around the world all year round. It is more than enough to act as a 'security consultant'.
Even though under his command, there is only one Narishima Hikaru I can command.
But in fact, not too many people are needed.
Katahara Mietou's private soldiers "Guardians" are not decorations. Their abilities are notoriously strong, but their numbers are too small. A mere 500 people want to create an airtight blockade on the entire Yuanliu Island. The line is really difficult.
Since the live broadcast of the competition was opened to the whole world, aliens have sneaked onto the island every moment, and it is unrealistic to intercept them all. Therefore, the guards focus on arresting and expulsing those "foreign enemies" who are more dangerous. Wait for a series of actions, and the remaining ones that are relatively 'harmless' can only turn a blind eye.
Anyway, the members have their own security forces around them.
And most of those people came for the participating companies.
If you can't even deal with an opponent of this level, then you can only say that you deserve it.
Hikari Narishima and 02 have dealt with three batches of assassins so far. It's not clear if they were sent by the same party, but it doesn't feel like it.
Because there is a group of people whose combat effectiveness is too poor, they only have the stealth ability to pass the test, and they are paired with a computer expert... This kind of team really doesn't look like they are here for assassination, but more like professional kidnappers.
However, when I encountered 02, an old fried dough stick in the world, I still fell down after all.
Zizi...are you done?"
Suddenly, a female voice sounded from the suit pocket.
"I can only say 'for the time being' it's done." Hikari Narishima replied casually, his eyes still sharply scanning the surroundings, without letting down his vigilance, "My intuition tells me that those bgae guys who are smashed by a small amount of money are not Will let it go so easily."
"It's not 'a little money'."
A calm retort came from the intercom in his pocket.
"Miss Huiye aside, just now someone offered a reward of 100,000 U.S. dollars for your life because it is really an eyesore.
"What?"
Hikari Narishima, my face turned black.
"Hey Miss Hayasaka, am I only worth one hundred thousand dollars? How much is the 02 instructor?"
"One million. Unlike you, he has been blacklisted by many people a long time ago."
"I see."
That said, it's not that difficult to accept.
To be honest, the price tag for a newcomer's debut is quite high.
Hikari Narishima comforted himself in my heart.
"Anyway, I will trouble you to keep vigil tonight. Someone will come to change shifts at dawn."
"Shift change? Could it be....!?"
"Don't even think about it, opponents that you can easily deal with don't need to use the last line of defense, those fighters who were eliminated in the qualifiers... Although they didn't make it to the shortlist, they are still good combat power, at least From my personal point of view, there are not a few people who are stronger than you, so work hard, don't let your president go out tomorrow morning and see you lying dead at the gate of the villa
... Tsk, just look at it!"
The silver-haired young man who was provoked by a few words planned to prove himself with practical actions.
at this time--
call out!
Accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, a black shadow passed through the bushes and leaves.
Narishima Hikaru reflexively raised his head to avoid it.
But the sharp instrument still left a faint bloodstain on his face.
"...?!"
After seeing the short arrows nailed to the tree behind him, Hikari Narishima turned pale.
As for what? Even this big killer was pulled out.
What the hell are those guards doing!
Why don't they just put some guns in there?
somewhere in the forest.
Katahara Retsudo lit a cigarette and began to puff.
"Master, it seems that one escaped."
A mountain...... No, it was a man as strong as a hill who said lightly.
He also carried a large living person in his hand.
Although it is an adult, it is no different from a chick.
"Is that the one who used the crossbow? When he found out that the situation was not good, he left his teammates and rushed to complete the task... probably that's what happened."
A young man with a medium build and a somewhat casual demeanor came over.
"It doesn't matter. He doesn't have many arrows in his hand. If he wants to complete the task, he can't use them to kill other people. On the other hand, as long as there are not many people killed, it's no big deal."
The fourth person present, the tall and cold man holding a sword said softly.
"Hmm.....It's the goal of our 'annihilating troops' after all. Just let it go. If something happens to a member, it will affect the international reputation of the boxing club...Michao, go and take his body away Come back, Sunhe, Kaike and I will continue to sweep this area."
Katahara Retsudo glanced quietly at the forest in front of him.
"yes!".
