The Emperor’s Angel of Death

The instinctive vigilance stopped Ariana, but the voice disappeared, or she could not hear it anymore.

Is it an auditory hallucination?

After a while, she felt that it became a voice scratching herself in her memory.

You are about to make a mistake.

Ariana shook her head. She wanted to get rid of these, so she quickened her pace, and the voice did not continue to appear.

But after walking less than a hundred meters, she suddenly stopped, then turned around and turned into a small maintenance room.

One of her reconnaissance robots sent her back a warning, and then an image of a corridor filled her vision.

It looked like it was deserted, except for a man standing there alone, a giant, motionless looking up at her robot.

The scarlet eyepieces stared at her. The giant was wearing silver-gray power armor, the standard paint of the Astral Knight, but his shoulder armor and waist were covered with leather-like coverings, and his visor was also covered. It is depicted in a pattern similar to a skull, but he is obviously not a priest.

Although it was far away, Ariana could feel that the other party's gaze was so deep and she couldn't turn her eyes away.

Then he laughed, very soft, but very harsh, like some kind of predator's neigh.

"Beware, assassin."

He said softly:

"There are so many places to hide, and those seemingly safe places may not be so."

Then he stretched out his hand, and the image turned into snowflakes.

Ariana felt that the scout robot was destroyed and shocked her, which delayed the routine for several seconds before starting.

Data: Its own existence has been exposed.

She took an inventory of her reconnaissance robots in an instant, and found that all the remaining ones were still in place and working normally.

Inference: The person in contact tried to cause mental intimidation.

She began to switch between reconnaissance robots everywhere, and after the third one she began to find information.

What remains in her sight by engraving, smearing or chalking is a symbol: one of the special communication symbols of the Kalidus Temple, meaning death.

The assassin had to pause for a while before starting to deal with these facts. She had been subconsciously monitoring the hideouts that had been marked, and she hadn't seen anything.

Inference: The enemy is not trying to intimidate, the enemy is trying to show its sophistication and superiority.

She noticed her breathing, noticed the cramped maintenance room she was curled up inside, noticed everything, and noticed that she was shaking.

"You are making a mistake."

Her throat made a noise involuntarily, and then realized that she had just said loudly.

No, no, not now, she thought, and then suddenly her consciousness rolled out of her control.

Arianna has received warnings in this regard, and they have all received them. Even the mind of a Calidus can only receive so much data in such a long time, after which it will start to block and become invalid.

Expanded task states and overly complex work areas will cause confusion in the mind running on the path of self-compulsion.

For several months, Ariana has been living in an extremely complex work area.

Requirements: "List your own psychological characteristics."

She was speaking these words out loud, she couldn't control it, the old face of her mentor was grinning at her from memory, and she shot out a series of questions and answers that she hadn't started yet, it was difficult to control herself.

Answer: "The known psychological characteristics include mixed feelings of superiority/inferiority complex. The combination presents a complex mental disorder, which tends to make enemies and/or allies aware of their superiority."

For some reason, she found that her mentor's face seemed to be changing, becoming another unfamiliar face.

Amber skin, eyes full of aura, facial features full of power——

Requirement: "Conduct inferences about the consistency between recent records, this data, and past mission data."

Inference: "The target already knows that I am here, they want me to know their situation, they want me to know how powerful they are, and they want me to know before they are killed."

The memory of her mentor's cruel smile appeared again, right before her eyes, but that was not her mentor.

That is another stranger.

Ariana was trembling, and the muscles she was trying to twist were aching, although her mind was becoming clear.

Soon, the assassin thought he was out of the state of confusion.

The critical period has passed, but she is still intact, still alive, and still operational.

She began to touch her investigative network again, cautiously at first, and then took them back to her consciousness.

She has lost time, and time is a fatal factor in a work area.

The assassin observed through his own eyes again, and switched back to the one following the patrol. They were moving towards the elevator.

These people are the last obstacle between her and the armory, and she has about five minutes left.

She performed a quick examination of her brain to ensure that her actions would not cause fatal consequences, and then decided to change the situation she was looking at.

Stillness is the key to concealment, and this is one of the first lessons taught in the Assassin’s Temple.

But there is another strategy, which is to keep moving to prevent yourself from being locked in.

She is being hunted, and if she wants to complete her mission, she must survive.

So she decided not to take the passage, but to move from the narrow ventilation duct, which was full of wiring harnesses and pipes, and the dust and dirt told her story-about no one had been here before.

More importantly, there are no terrible giants here.

The content transmitted from the surveillance robots that formed the cordon did not show any problems, and the air temperature, noise level, and vibration were stable at the background level~www.readwn.com~ everything was quiet.

Here, huddled in a space too small for a child to approach her, Ariana waited, processing all kinds of information and clues in her divided consciousness.

Ariana directly ordered the two detection robots to enter the adjacent operation room of the armory, and then drilled in through the ventilation pipe to check the situation inside.

As she expected, there was only one mechanical priest, several servants of the astral knight regiment, and a dozen servants.

She has been discovered. According to the rules, she needs to change her image immediately. This mechanical priest is a good target.

So she started to move, frightened along the ventilation pipe to the top of the cabin, and then took a deep breath.

The next moment, she kicked the grille of the vent abruptly, and the metal screaming with broken hinges sounded, and death came suddenly.
