Chapter 235: The Qiling Society is a basket that can hold anything.
Shrouded in the pitch-black night, a young man was standing in the darkness eating an orange, quietly observing the detached villa in the distance.
This distance was enough to ensure that people in the villa could not find him.
Beside him, a figure whose face could not be seen was whispering: "Are you sure you can do it alone?"
Hearing this, the young man nodded slightly: "If nothing goes wrong, there shouldn't be any problem."
"And if you take action and fail to kill him, then all your efforts will be in vain."
"Besides, there are many people in the city who recognize your cards, right?"
The two people are naturally Sun Jingrun and Sima Huai.
At this time, several days had passed since the Emerald Level Demon appeared.
Originally, Sima Huai planned to attack Russell on the night Sun Jingrun arrived. After all, all of Russell's cards were on cooldown at that time, and there was no better opportunity to attack.
I don’t know if it was to deal with the follow-up matters of the previous group of demons, but Russell stayed in the camp by the coast for several days.
In addition to Russell, there are four gold-level card makers in the camp. Sima Huai and his men certainly did not dare to force their way into the attack.
"But can you do it?"
"after all."
Although Sun Jingrun agreed, Sima Huai was still a little hesitant.
The death of the emerald-level demon shocked him too much.
At this time, Sun Jingrun stuffed the remaining orange slices in his mouth and said vaguely: "My cards are all specialized in assassination. If even I fail."
"Then it won't make any difference if you come along."
"By the way, if the assassination is successful, have you thought about what to do next?"
Sima Huai nodded when he heard this. After all, how could he not have thought of a way out when doing such a shameful thing?
"We'll just pass it on to the Begging Spirit Society when the time comes."
"After all, nothing that group of lunatics do is surprising."
"It's a pity that we can't attribute it to Guiyi Sect, otherwise it would be more credible."
There are naturally two excellent targets for scapegoating in Donglai City today, the Guiyi Sect and the Qiling Society.
Russell had many conflicts with the Guiyi Sect before, so it was reasonable for him to be assassinated by the other side.
But the bad thing is that there are not only card makers in Guiyi Sect, but also limb-replacing monsters who are neither human nor ghost.
Sima Huai and his men can't get their hands on these weird things.
Then we can only settle for the second best and put the blame on the Qiling Society.
Anyway, the Begging Spirit Association won't have any objections.
"Okay, I'll go." Sun Jingrun shrugged and stretched his muscles.
He doesn't care. As a loyal warrior of the Sun family, he doesn't care even if he loses his life here today.
The assassins only need a target and a location, the rest is not important.
In the villa, Russell looked at the young man with green algae hair who was leaning against the wall with three knives in his arms.
After the card was made, Russell naturally summoned it out to take a look.
As for whether he would be discovered, he was not afraid. Under the double coverage of Zoro's observation Haki and his mental power, no one in Donglai should be able to get close to him without alarming him.
"Talk about it"
"Should Zoro be able to have a little fight with Sister Lie now?"
Although the young man with algae-haired hair has not yet reached the level of a future vice-chairman, Russell's Unohana Retsu is not a cold-blooded and ruthless villain.
If it's just a discussion, it's not a big problem.
Just when Russell was thinking about whether to organize team building in the future, Zoro suddenly frowned and looked somewhere outside the house: "Russell, there's someone."
Russell was brought back to reality by Zoro's voice, but he soon realized something: "Did you discover it with your Observation Haki?"
Seeing Zoro nodded, Russell frowned slightly: "Do you know who it is?"
Zoro shook his head slightly: "I haven't seen him before, but the one next to him feels a little familiar."
Hearing this, Russell couldn't help but become alert.
Since the young man with the green algae hair specifically said so, it is obvious that the other party has no good intentions.
Quickly thinking about his enemies in Donglai, Russell quickly selected two targets: "Guiyi Sect? Or Sima Huai?"
Now the only two groups of people who might attack me are these two groups.
"I understand." Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, Russell nodded slightly and took Sauron away.
It’s not that he doesn’t want Zoro to take action, but the green algae-headed guy’s three sword style is too eye-catching.
Although it has been a long time since the last appearance in Shanghai, who knows if there are any clues left. It would be bad if they were noticed by someone with ulterior motives.
Having said that, Russell didn't care that Zoro was able to discover the other party's whereabouts while he didn't.
Not to mention that the range covered by Zoro's Observation Haki is wider than his own mental power, then the purpose of making cards is to make up for the shortcomings of the card maker in all aspects.
Moreover, compared to some people whose observation Haki can reach a level similar to future vision, it is not outrageous that Zoro only discovered two sneaky enemies.
"Let me see who is so eager to run into the gun."
Putting his thoughts away, Russell's eyes dimmed, and he turned and went upstairs to the bedroom.
The bright moonlight shines through the window into the huge bedroom.
A figure lay quietly on the bed, as if he had fallen into a sweet dream.
As the clouds passing through the sky outside the window obscured the moon, the bedroom fell into deep darkness.
When the moonlight reappeared, there was a standing figure in the room. Sun Jingrun looked at the young man sleeping in front of him, his face expressionless, but he was a little surprised in his heart: "So easy?"
The process of sneaking into the villa took almost no effort and was much smoother than he had imagined.
"He is just a young boy after all. He has no defense at all."
Thinking of this, Sun Jingrun summoned his cards without any hesitation.
The shadows in the bedroom seemed to come alive in an instant and pounced towards the figure on the bed.
But at this moment, the young man who was originally sleeping on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, and in the blink of an eye he sneaked into the shadow beside him.
"Tsk, I knew he wasn't that easy to kill." Sun Jingrun curled his lips, not surprised.
If Russell was really easy to kill, Sima Huai wouldn't have had so much of a headache.
Suppressing the irritation in his heart, he instantly caught the aura of the young man appearing again and chased after him without hesitation.
Outside the house, Russell's face was calm at this time. He had basically determined that Sima Huai was the mastermind behind the scenes.
After all, the Guiyi Sect did not come out to cause trouble even though there was such a big commotion on the coast before, so it is even more impossible for them to go to the trouble of assassinating him now.
And if the assassination attempt really came, it would be impossible for only one card maker to come.
Just when Russell was thinking about thousands of things, Sun Jingrun appeared in front of him again.
The two sides didn't waste any time talking and started fighting again as soon as they met.
But it was obvious that he was no match for Russell.
After all, the mistake an assassin fears most is failing to deliver a fatal blow. After all, not all assassins are grand assassins.
"Ninety-first of the Way of Destruction: Thousand-Handed Bright Sky Cannon."
As Aizen spoke in a cold voice, a huge crimson spiritual bullet suddenly attacked Sun Jingrun who was not far away.
"boom!"
The crimson cross created by the explosion of the spirit bomb illuminated the night sky.
In order to minimize the losses, Russell controlled the output of the cards in his hand as much as possible.
And with such a big commotion, I think if the nearby residents were not fools, they would have notified the association long ago.
At this moment, a loud shout rang out: "I'm here to help you!"
But it wasn't some big yellow hamster that shouted this.
It was Sima Huai, the president of the East Laika Teacher Association.
As soon as Sima Huai appeared, he summoned the card and attacked Sun Jingrun fiercely.
Then he quickly came to Russell and said, "Vice President Luo? Are you okay?"
"I received news that there are card makers fighting here, and I came here quickly because I thought you were staying here."
Russell frowned slightly, glanced at Aizen and Misaka Mikoto whose attack rhythm was suddenly interrupted, and couldn't help but sneered in his heart: "Tsk, this trick."
What happened next was exactly what Russell had expected. After just a few rounds of fighting, the person who was trying to assassinate him disappeared.
It was obvious that the other party had evacuated safely under Sima Huai's cover.
Of course, if there were passers-by here, they would definitely not be able to see that Sima Huai was actually covering the assassin.
But Russell was not prepared to expose the other party. After all, without solid evidence, these were not enough to convict Sima Huai.
But he had no intention of looking for any evidence.
Compared to going through the procedure, Russell felt it would be more convenient to go directly to Lu Xi's account.
In fact, before Sima Huai appeared, he also considered whether to let Aizen use Kyoka Suigetsu to fake his own death and replicate what the brown-haired man did in [Seireitei].
But after thinking about it carefully, I gave up the idea.
After all, who knows if Donglai has any other strange cards, and the risk of exposure is really too high.
And since the mastermind behind the scenes has already been identified, there is no need for Russell to do this in secret.
Seeing that Russell was just frowning and looking at the place where Sun Jingrun disappeared without paying attention to him, Sima Huai's eyes twitched: "President Luo?"
"Who do you think attacked you?"
Hearing this, Russell turned his gaze to the middle-aged man next to him, but still did not speak.
Seeing this, Sima Huai, who didn't know he had been exposed, shamelessly analyzed: "Look, President Luo, this person is alone in the assassination. Compared with the group of card makers from the Guiyi Sect who are eager to lick the demons, it is more likely that it was the Qiling Society."
However, before Russell could reply, two more gold-level card makers appeared on the scene.
They are Zeng Bo and Lu Yan.
The two of them rushed over after receiving the news that Russell was attacked.
When he saw that Russell was intact, Lu Yan was obviously relieved, and then turned to look at Sima Huai: "President Sima, you are so fast?"
"What other begging meetings are there?"
The square-faced middle-aged man had only heard the last few words, and it was obvious that Sima Huai, who was at odds with Russell, would be the first person to arrive at the scene, which really surprised him.
Soon, Sima Huai repeated his inference.
But this time, instead of suspecting that it was the Qi Ling Hui who did it, they directly put the hat on the Qi Ling Hui's head.
Hearing this, Zeng Bo's usually deadpan face flashed with a hint of surprise.
"The Begging Spirit Society?"
"Why didn't you inform me that I wanted to assassinate President Luo?"
As the only two members of the Begging Spirit Society present, Zeng Bo thought so in his heart.
