Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 92 You Coward

"The big picture only works with servants; it doesn't apply to princes and kings."

This is a well-known, albeit secret, saying in this world. Clearly, Song Xunfang completely disregarded the "big picture" of the leader of the men in black and brazenly ordered that everyone be killed without exception.

More than a dozen men in black died in quick succession. The stench of blood filled the air, followed by a hollow, eerie scream. Extremely distorted human figures crawled on the ground.

The dim light in the hall shone again, and Su Yu felt a slight headache, but he immediately recovered.

"horrible"

This blood-red light can affect the mind and even the senses, but that's why Su Yu used the badge, which reduced his defense.

There was originally a courtyard protection system, and he was very concerned about this type of protection.

"Evil Crawler"

The leader of the men in black muttered to himself, his forehead covered in cold sweat, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. He had been lying motionless on the ground, relying on his badge to evade the ghost's senses.

But the evil wretch overcomes this—different evil spirits possess their own unique abilities.

The leader of the men in black knew that the changes were beyond his expectations.

"We can't hesitate any longer..." The leader of the men in black quickly pulled out a silver pendant from his pocket, the pendant engraved with complex runes.

Holding the pendant in his hand and chanting a spell, the pendant instantly emitted a dazzling white light.

"【Holy Seal】!"

The leader of the men in black threw the pendant into the hall. The pendant transformed into silver chains in the air, instantly wrapping around the various ghosts and slowing their movements.

Then, beams of dazzling light rained down, striking the ghosts and causing them to scream in agony. They were reduced to ashes along with the mist and vanished into the air.

Not only that, even the Song family members inside the hall slowed down, although they were not affected by the beam of light.

Even as the white mist surrounding Su Yu dissipated, he was immediately exposed.

"Kill them all! Slaughter every single member of the Song family!"

The leader of the men in black used up one of his trump cards and immediately shouted that this gap was very short and the ghosts in the palace would continue to gather, so they had to take advantage of this time to kill the Song family and occupy the area covered by the array—that was relatively safe.

"Also, go and kill him!" The leader of the men in black pointed at Su Yu and said with a glint in his eyes. They were all experienced men. Su Yu was just a surprise attack. Now that he had been exposed, they naturally had to eliminate him immediately.

Su Yu retreated swiftly without hesitation. The area at the entrance of the palace was purified, but the outside was still shrouded in thick fog. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the fog.

"Clap"

The three men in black opened fire. Su Yu, who was rolling on the ground, was pounding his heart. Just now, three sharp whistles had pierced the air, carrying the scent of death as they swept past his ears.

"I need to learn magic to deal with humans."

Su Yu thought to himself silently that he actually had a big flaw: he had magic against ghosts, but not against people.

Despite the success of the scheme just now, in a direct confrontation, he might not be a match for a man in black.

"How to do?"

Seeing Su Yu rush into the mist, the three exchanged glances.

At that moment, several gunshots rang out from inside. Neither the Song family nor the men in black had time to reload. They dropped their guns, grabbed knives, and charged into a desperate fight.

Screams echoed as the three fought fiercely for safety, their hearts pounding with fear. They instinctively plunged into the mist.

Killing one is naturally easier and safer than killing many!
"Time is on my side!" Su Yu naturally wouldn't charge forward, but would instead lie in wait and evade.

The air was filled with the smell of a funeral home, mixed with the stench of blood. Not far away was a corpse, a member of the Song family fleet, already dead, shot in the chest, covered in blood, still clutching a sword in his hand, and a pistol nearby.

"Come out, come out!" the man in black shouted, his figure appearing and disappearing in the mist.

Su Yu pulled out a paper bag containing magic potions, and quietly retreated while gripping his longsword and pistol.

He didn't think he was capable of taking down three professionally trained men in black with his longsword, but it didn't matter; Ghost would deal with them for him.

Sure enough, the spell had swept away the ghosts in the vicinity, but the blood and the fluctuations of the spell had alarmed the ghosts in the distance. In just a moment, several ghosts floated out of the corridor and slowly wandered over.

"Shit!" The three men in black paled. They saw the figure of an evil spirit in the corridor, a sight so terrifying it sent chills down their spines.

The fear of evil spirits is ingrained in the bones of ordinary people.

They were indeed powerless against the evil spirits; at most, they could only use the defensive items on their bodies to resist the evil spirits' corruption.

The three immediately lay down, rolled over, and remained motionless on the ground. Wisps of white mist emanated from the badges on their chests, seemingly obscuring their bodies.

However, if you only defend and don't attack, you'll still die!

Especially when you're there yourself. Skills don't have to be outdated, as long as they work.

Su Yu grinned maliciously, reached out to flick his hand, then stopped abruptly. He stretched his hand out as far as possible, covering most of his body, and then flicked it.

With a "poof," three points of light flew out, traversing more than ten meters, and landed on the three people in the blink of an eye.

"clap clap"

As if sensing something, the three men in black simultaneously opened fire in one direction. The gunfire whistled through the air, carrying the scent of death, but they missed.

"kill"

Three men in black stood up and charged forward with a roar, rushing into an open space in a corridor, but they saw no one there.

"Bastard!"

The three men in black had actually met professionals or mages before.

However, most mages are not interested in adventure and do not care much about interacting with people. There are not many mages who can think of using "tactics".

Clearly, they had encountered one of the most difficult to deal with.

"Oh no!" The man in black felt his heart skip a beat as he searched for the missing person.

In the blink of an eye, the swift movement revealed its vibrant life force. The ghost, which had been slowly approaching, suddenly shrieked and rushed towards them.

"No..." a man in black cried out, forced to pull out a small bottle and sprinkle water onto the blade. Instantly, the blade flashed with white light.

Su Yu didn't watch the battle. He rolled to the corner of the wall, pulled out a paper bag containing potions and a pistol, and began loading them.

There seems to be no gunpowder here, but some kind of magical potion, which serves the same purpose as gunpowder. The potion was half-soaked in blood, and the dry part was picked out and put into iron sand to form paper bullets.

Yes, in this era, there were no metal bullets, only paper bullets, which had to be loaded by the user.

Not far away, the sounds of killing and screams echoed continuously.

"Come out, come out, you cowardly coward!" The battle was temporarily over, and only one of the three men in black remained. The remaining one was bloodthirsty, his eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted with a ferocious expression.

Holding his longsword, he gradually sped up his run, trying to find a trace.

"aim!"

Su Yu entered the low flower wall on the right and began to aim. For ordinary people, the fog did not pose a significant obstacle for professionals.

Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters!

With a cold "snap," Su Yu pulled the trigger, and the running man in black froze, blood splattering from his chest.

Amidst the piercing screams, Su Yu turned and left.

His thinking was very clear. He knew his marksmanship wasn't very good, so he didn't aim for the head at all, but for the heart. However, it was obvious that he still missed.

A bullet to the lung would also lead to certain death.

However, there might be a desperate counterattack, which can be avoided by simply staying away from him for a few minutes.

Whether it's blood or ghosts, they will kill him.

I must have been stupid to get close to her.

"No, you coward!"

In just a few seconds, the dying man in black realized Su Yu's intention and let out a voice filled with grief and despair.

Su Yu completely ignored the wailing of the defeated dog. In just a few seconds, the ghost that had caught up from behind pounced on him. After only a few breaths of entanglement, his burly body collapsed heavily with a thud and visibly withered away.

"System, show me the hourglass."

A hazy, transparent golden light appeared before his eyes, and Su Yu's gaze fell on the hourglass below.

Tiny specks of dust are gently falling and settling below.

"He is indeed dead!"

"The people and ghosts I killed, the people I plotted to kill, are all, at least in part, mine!"

That's good.

Su Yu withdrew his gaze.
