Behind the stable was a two-story wooden building.

Leon and Azrael kicked open the door and rushed inside.

The woman in the living room on the first floor screamed, while the fat man next to her angrily pulled out his revolver and pointed it at the two of them.

"How dare you two piles of dog shit enter my house? Get out!"

"Just kill them." This was the order given in sync with the senses.

boom!

Without a word, Leon dodged the fat man's bullet and quickly pulled the trigger; the bullet pierced the fat man's skull.

Azrael also fired at the same time, sending the woman to meet her maker.

A minute later, Zeng arrived at the scene and immediately used his newly awakened skill on the two corpses on the ground.

[Should we use the phrase "fear of death"?]

"use!"

[Under review...]

[Detection successful: One deceased person responded to the call.]

After a flash of light, the corpse on the ground rose up—it was the woman. At the same time, the option representing the deceased's fear of death turned gray.

"My Lord!" she knelt down devoutly.

Suicide Squad Number Four: Lucy Smith

[Ethnicity: Caucasian, Mediterranean type]

[Physical fitness: 12 (average for normal adult Homo sapiens males is 10)]

[Skills: Charm (Lv.2), Tailoring (Lv.2)]

[Language: English (Lv.2)]

Success! Looks like there's no need to rush off.

His mind raced, and he instructed, "Leon, Azrael, you two go to the stables, fetch two horses, and escape to attract the attention of the town's sheriff."

"Lucy, you stay here and handle the follow-up investigation. Also, is there a suitable hiding place on this farm?"

"Yes, Master," Lucy said. "There's a basement in one corner of the house where you can hide."

After everything was arranged, he hid in the basement, guided by Lucy.

The third assassin, named Ezekiel, stayed with Lucy as a newly recruited worker.

Three minutes later.

The sheriff of Wild Wolf Town arrived with three men. He was a burly man, wearing a wide-brimmed felt hat, and had a hooked nose.

He glanced at the corpse, then at Lucy, who was still trembling with fear behind Ezekiel, and asked, "Ms. Lucy, what happened?"

"What happened? Two robbers killed my husband! If Ezekiel hadn't heard the commotion and rushed over, I would be dead too!"

Lucy shrieked, "Robert, my husband donates so much money to the sheriff's team every year, hiring you to protect the town, and this is how you do your job?"

"Boss, there are two more bodies in the stable. Someone saw two strangers riding horses eastward," one of his men reported.

"Madam, please accept my condolences. I swear on my honor that we will catch those two robbers and hang them at the gates of town."

Sheriff Robert pulled down his hat brim: "Henry, you stay here and help Ms. Lucy collect Mr. Charles's body. George, Michelle, you come with me to chase after those two."

The three of them walked out of the house, mounted their horses, and galloped out of the town.

Hearing the commotion above, Zeng Zi had mentally ordered, "Leon, they've gone after them. Find a favorable position and see if you can kill those three."

According to Lucy's account, in 1855, the small California town was not yet covered by official forces, and the local sheriff's council was essentially a civilian organization, so the appointment and removal of officials were extremely hasty.

Only by killing them will it be much easier to infiltrate the town afterwards.

"Yes."

Leon and Azrael exchanged a glance, then rode their horses forward for a while longer before stopping on a wooded hillside to find a shooting position.

Ten minutes later, dust billowed in the distance as three people on horseback galloped toward them.

"Boss, isn't that enough? Those two bastards are running too fast, we can't catch them!" someone shouted.

Robert, riding ahead, cursed without turning his head: "I fucking know I can't catch up, but if you want to keep this damn job, with drinks and prostitutes every night, you fucking have to learn to pretend!"

"Chase for another five minutes, cross this forest, rest for half a day at the hunter's cabin ahead, and then go back to report."

Just as the three horses' hooves stepped into the shadows of the forest—

boom!boom!

Suddenly, two gunshots rang out, and one of the three men on horseback had a burst of blood erupt from his chest. He twitched twice after falling from his horse, and then fell silent.

"Damn it, there's an ambush!"

The remaining two men drew their revolvers and fired repeatedly at the source of the smoke, sending branches and leaves flying and wood chips flying, but there was no sound of being hit.

Without hesitation, the two dismounted and found cover to hide in.

"Damn it, Michelle, have you seen anyone?"

"Boss, I didn't see anything, just a pile of dog poop and leaves!"

The two peered out and saw that the spot where the gunshot had just been fired was completely silent, as if the forest was deserted.

Suddenly, about thirty yards to their right, two more shots rang out, but they were blocked by the trees in front of them.

"Found you, you scum!"

Robert took a deep breath, took the shotgun off his back, bit open the paper cartridge, and quickly loaded the shotgun with gunpowder and pellets.

"Michelle, I'll hold him down, you come around him from the side!"

"Yes, boss."

Robert lunged forward and pulled the trigger, unleashing a hail of bullets. Michelle seized the opportunity to crouch and dash to the right. He had barely caught a glimpse of a figure hiding behind a tree when the enemy fired several shots, forcing him back into cover.

"Boss, I see him, but I only see one person!" he shouted.

"What?"

A clear sound of footsteps snapping twigs came from the bushes behind him, and a chill ran down Robert's spine. He was about to turn around and fire, but it was too late.

boom!

The bullet entered his neck from the side, leaving a large hole. He collapsed to the ground, his last sight being Michelle being hit in the head by another bullet, her brains and blood splattering onto the pine tree behind her.

Leon, who had been hiding in another spot, emerged from the woods. Azrael put away his two revolvers, and the two quickly searched the dead man's body for guns, ammunition, and valuables. They then disappeared into the depths of the forest with the horses.

Just as the two killed their pursuers, the panel popped up again in front of Zeng in the basement.
