?74: Chapter 67: Take Away 74: Chapter 67: Take Away With a Consumables Berserker leading the way, the path became much easier to navigate.

    Gao Yi had entered the trade as a feral assassin, and in his early days, he appeared to be brash, taking on anyone with a sledge hammer.

    However, all of his operations had been predicated on the belief that there was a chance of succeeding.

    After taking action, Gao Yi’s first reaction was how to protect himself, how to survive.

    Thus, being rash was a characteristic of Gao Yi’s actions given his current conditions, with the subsequent crisis caused by reckless actions being a side effect.

    But Gao Yi was certainly not going to his death willingly.

    Before he struck, he was confident; after he struck, he would do everything to protect himself.

    If he still died, he could only blame his inadequate skills and excessive impulsiveness.

    But this Nun Berserker was different; her character as a consumable was too obvious.

    Without any disguise yet still sent to the target’s bed symbolized a classic honey trap.

    Then, this nun would leave behind all her physical characteristics.

    As an assassin, this meant she had almost lost the value of being reused.

    This time, it was Gao Yi who killed the target, and then there were several bodyguards’ corpses in the room, with guns on the corpses.

    So, the nun could pick up a gun and fight her way out in a berserk manner.

    But what if Gao Yi had not killed the target.

    The nun should also have had the chance to kill Ditzel, but then she would have to face Ditzel’s bodyguards barehanded.

    According to Gao Yi’s observation, her close combat abilities were decent, good enough to kill an unguarded target with bare hands, but killing several bodyguards with bare hands was impossible.

    Which meant, even if the nun could kill Ditzel, she would have died at the hands of the bodyguards without having considered how to escape after a successful assassination.

    That’s the behavior of a consumable.

    Furthermore, even if the nun obtained a gun and was particularly accurate with her shooting, her fighting style was epitomized by advancing under enemy fire.

    Protecting oneself is instinctual, even without professional combat training.

    Like Gao Yi, who had just practiced shooting at a range, he also knew to protect himself as much as possible during such shooting— at least to bend at the waist, at least to walk close to the wall.

    But the nun had discarded this instinct for self-preservation, so her combat style must have been deliberately trained, and that training was long-term; moreover, there had been no combat, purely target practice.

    Therefore, as an assassin that used a berserk fighting style, the nun was clearly trained by someone who wanted her to die conveniently.

    So Gao Yi could be certain the nun was a consumable, not swindled by a middleman, but high-end consumables mass-produced by some assassin organization.

    Middlemen conning novices into becoming consumables are almost cost-free, but these carefully cultivated consumables are expensive.

    Which assassin organization has the strength to produce these consumables?

    Which organization could afford to use consumables in this way?

    Gao Yi knew of only a few assassin organizations, and the two most familiar to him were one, Garden, and two, Andic.

    Garden, an assassin organization about to be annihilated, couldn’t afford such consumables as the nun, while the powerful Andic Group took it as a basic operation to use consumables.

    If the nun really was a consumable from Andic Group, then obviously the problem would be very serious.

    Garden was nearly wiped out by Andic Group, and now the appearance of a consumable from Andic Group indicated that Garden might once again encounter Andic Group head-on, dragging themselves—and him—into the fray.

    Perhaps the people from Andic Group were even watching from outside now.

    They might not care about the safety of the nun as a consumable, but they would definitely need to confirm the death of the target and whether the mission was accomplished.

    It was concerning, not knowing how to handle this situation.

    The nun walked out of the room with guns in hand, and Gao Yi thought the moment she stepped out, she’d be shot—but no, the nun simply fired a shot and then continued walking.

    Gao Yi prepared himself, following right behind the nun.

    If the nun was shot, he would use her as cover to make a break for it.

    This was the only chance to break out.

    But the nun managed to leave the room safely, something he genuinely had not expected.

    Gao Yi followed the nun out the door only to see a person lying outside, not looking like a security person.

    Those trying to rescue Ditzel, forcefully breaking down the door and opening fire, were Henry’s men, supposedly a gang with responsibility for combat.

    They could handle gang shootouts but didn’t stand up to more professional combat.

    No one was left?

    Gao Yi was ecstatic in his heart, sticking close behind the nun as they moved forward.

    The nun held the guns and moved quickly, but she didn’t go towards the staircase.

    Instead, she turned in the direction away from the staircase after exiting.

    There’s a back door!

    Right, Ditzel had used the back door when he first arrived.

    The nun marched ahead without a care, the corridor was narrow, and there were many rooms, but she didn’t mind if someone might suddenly jump out.

    After turning a few corners, she stood before a door, seemingly ready to use her shoulder to push it open.

    Gao Yi reached out to open the door for the nun, gently pushing, and the old wooden door opened.

    Such old wooden doors with bolts are usually left open if there is no one inside.

    The wooden doors stayed for aesthetic consistency, but the inside of the room was clearly modernized, with all kinds of appliances and modern furniture.

    The room looked like a lounge; there were several sofas and chairs, but no bed.

    After entering the room, the nun looked around, then holding the gun in one hand, her other hand hanging down, she walked a few steps forward to a curtain, using her gun to lift the curtain and look down.

    Gao Yi leaned over to look as well.

    It was a bay window, semicircular.

    Looking out, the exterior elevator was immediately in sight.

    Not minding the destruction of the castle’s ancient ambiance, Henry had a lift built specifically that didn’t go up to the second floor, only the third and fourth.

    The elevator was currently on the third floor, while there was no one on the ground outside of the castle.

    Looking further, the lawn was well-lit and visible, but the area beyond the lawn fell into darkness, uncertain if anyone was hiding there.

    The nun was not very familiar with the terrain here, but she definitely had done her homework in advance.

    After a short pause, the nun turned around again, entering this room only to observe.

    Now that she had seen everything, she was ready to leave.

    Gao Yi followed, and the two of them left the room.

    Then, true to expectations, the nun reached the external elevator and pressed the down button with the gun barrel.

    It was fatal that the elevator was the sightseeing kind, completely transparent.

    “You’re taking the elevator?” Gao Yi couldn’t help but ask, but the elevator doors were already open, and the nun immediately stepped in.

    Trusting a consumable’s judgment was risky, but the problem was Gao Yi didn’t want to dash through the main door blocked by security personnel.

    Well, at least there was a Berserker with common goals and precise marksmanship inside the elevator to spearhead the escape.

    The elevator had doors that opened on both sides.

    When they reached the first floor, the exterior door opened.

    There didn’t seem to be any enemies in sight, so it was worth the risk.

    As soon as they entered the elevator, gunshots could be heard outside.

    Not very dense, but gunshots kept ringing out continuously.

    Once the elevator reached the first floor and the door opened, the nun stepped out with an undaunted demeanor, but after moving forward a couple of steps, she stopped and seemed bewildered.

    How could a consumable possibly have a complete evacuation plan?

    Probably she didn’t even know which direction to head beyond the castle walls.

    Gao Yi glanced over and pointed in a direction: “That way.”

    Head towards the road; Sean was waiting there to provide backup.

    Once out of the lift, the gunshots became more evident, coming from the road.

    Every few seconds, a burst of gunfire would sound regularly, and even through the entire castle, the chaotic cries outside could be heard.

    The nun hesitated a moment before heading towards the direction Gao Yi pointed, running, with Gao Yi crouched and following at her side.

    The nun’s pace was not very fast, so Gao Yi had an easy time keeping up.

    Following the scenic pathway, they reached the shrubs outside the lawn, crossing about forty meters in distance without encountering any interception or sniping.

    That wasn’t normal, which meant there was backup.

    Gao Yi finally took out his phone, calling Sean, who picked up immediately.

    “Where are you?” Sean whispered.

    “I’m in the car, about one kilometer west of the entrance.

    The entrance has an automatic gun drawing attention, and all bullets will be fired in forty seconds.

    You need to hurry.”

    Gao Yi’s spirits were lifted.

    “Come pick me up, I’m on the west side of the castle; there’s no road—”

    Before he could finish, Gao Yi said to the nun, “This way!”

    They started sprinting toward the road, a distance of seven or eight hundred meters, which required quite a run.

    But this time the nun refused to go with Gao Yi. sea??h thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    She looked at Gao Yi as if she wanted to say something, but her hand that was hanging down with the gun seemed to be reaching to lift it.

    Gao Yi felt confident enough to let the nun carry a gun at such close proximity because he was utterly sure he could control her.

    So Gao Yi did not wait for the nun to raise the gun, but made a quick forward move, grabbing the nun’s right hand to prevent her from lifting the gun.

    Loosening her right hand, letting the hammer fall, and in a flash, he stepped back behind the nun and gently tapped the back of her neck with his palm.

    The nun passed out without a moan.

    Gao Yi squatted down, holding the phone to his ear, and whispered, “Ran into a colleague, a female, obviously a consumable.”

    Sean urgently whispered back, “Kill her and get out of there!”

    “She seems to be from Andic…”

    “Can you bring her alive, conveniently?”

    “Uh, I suppose it’s doable.”

    Gao Yi put the phone back in his pocket, threw the two guns in the nun’s hands away, and, with a heave, hoisted the nun onto his shoulder, starting to briskly walk towards the road.

    Weighing about a hundred pounds, she didn’t seem too heavy to carry.

    Gao Yi charged towards the road and after covering about a hundred meters, he felt carrying a person was too heavy to continue when two beams of car headlights suddenly rushed over.

    The castle was on a very gentle hillside with no farmland nearby, so if it was an off-road vehicle, it could indeed drive across.

    The vehicle quickly crossed the open field and stopped next to Gao Yi, with Sean in the vehicle urging, “Get in quick, the people have dispersed, we have no time to lose.”

    Gao Yi opened the car door and placed the nun in the back seat.

    After getting in himself, he urged, “Drive.”

    Sean turned to look at the back seat and suddenly said, “Such high quality?

    It’s unlikely she’s a consumable from Andic.”

    “Ah?

    What should we do?”

    After a moment of thought, Sean said, “We’ll bring her along first, ask her and we’ll find out.

    If she’s a consumable from Andic, that’d be perfect!

    I have so many questions to ask.”
