Doomsday Code

Chapter 258 Assassination

Looking at the old lady's back as she left, a look of loneliness appeared on Finier's face.

The general belief in this world is the belief in the God of Light, although Chen Cheng also knows that this Church of Light is not as bright as people imagine.

But it must be said that some of their clergy are still very moral role models.

Chen Cheng reached out and rubbed Finier's head and said:

"Well, since Bishop Jamil has left, we can go to the church to sightsee even if there is no show."

However, Finier curled her lips and whispered:

"No, it's not because there are no performances, but... it's because I wanted to bring you, my little slave, to watch the show for the first time but it wasn't there."

Chen Cheng also guessed what Finier meant. Seeing that she wanted to share her past Chinese New Year happiness with him, Chen Cheng smiled and said:

"It's okay. When we get back, how about I perform a magic trick for you tonight?"

When Finier heard about the magic trick, she scratched her head and asked curiously:

"What is magic? Is it some new magic?"

These were all Finier could think of when it came to magic.

Chen Cheng wanted to explain, but he felt that no matter how he tried to explain it, it was not clear.

Then he asked Finier to stand still, and then he showed his hand to Finier and said:

"Nothing, I can take a gold coin out of your hair later."

He smiled and reached out his hand to stroke the back of Finelle's head, and then a gold coin appeared in his hand.

"Hey, little Nunu, where did you get the gold coins in your hand?"

When Finier actually saw the gold coins, she asked excitedly.

This is just the simplest magic trick. In his previous life, Chen Cheng loved watching magic performances because it reminded him of what he was doing. To many people, it was just a magic trick.

So during his breaks, Chen Cheng also learned a few simple magic tricks.

Chen Cheng smiled and said to Finier:

"This, this is the magic of telekinesis. Otherwise, Miss, feel your pocket to see if you have lost a gold coin."

Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows at Finier.

Finier immediately took out her purse, and then found that there was indeed a gold coin missing from it. She immediately showed excitement on her face and said:

"What kind of magic is this, little Nunu? Can you teach me? When school starts, I will perform this magic in front of that exhibitionist Adalin. He will be so jealous."

But Chen Cheng smiled and asked:

"Did Miss feel the fluctuation of magic energy around you just now?"

When he casts a simple spell, it will disturb the surrounding magical energy, and it is this disturbance that allows many powerful magicians to anticipate the enemy and avoid the opponent's magical attacks.

As a gifted being like Finier, the Star Mark Tears on her body have the ability to amplify consciousness, so she can sense the subtle disturbances of magical energy in the air.

However, just when Chen Cheng was about to reveal the secret to Finier, Finier smiled and said:

"I feel it, so please tell me quickly. I want to learn this magic."

However, as soon as Finier said this, Chen Cheng's face turned ugly.

Perhaps the disturbance of magical energy was too subtle, or perhaps his perception was not as good as that of Finier who was wearing the Tears of Star Mark.

At this moment, an undisguised disturbance of magical energy made Chen Cheng feel that someone was about to launch a magical attack on them.

Chen Cheng did not rashly choose to dodge directly because the opponent had already summoned magic.

No matter how fast he dodged, it was still not as fast as the speed at which the magic was released.

At this moment, Finier's body in front of Chen Cheng also tensed up. She looked at Chen Cheng and wanted to speak, but Chen Cheng gave her a look and then hugged Finier.

Meanwhile, among the crowd of people coming and going, a killer whispered a spell, and then a thin needle made of magic appeared in his palm.

"Hmph, what a ridiculous legendary genius. He can't even detect the fluctuations of magical energy. It seems that the employer's information is not very correct."

The slight fluctuation of magical energy before was released by this guy to test Chen Cheng and the others. As a killer, saving his own life is his first creed.

If Chen Cheng had discovered the disturbance of magical energy just now, he would have immediately given up this assassination attempt.

However, it now appears that nothing has been discovered.

Just after Chen Cheng and the other man hugged each other, the killer seized the opportunity and immediately released a magic needle in his hand that contained all his magic power. At the same time, he quickly blended into the crowd and left.

This is a professional killer, who strikes immediately without caring about the consequences and then escapes quickly.

And at the moment when Chen Cheng hugged Finier, his other hand had already grasped the pendant around his neck.

Ever since he was almost killed by the alchemist last time, Chen Cheng has been fiddling with his pendant, but in the end, all the unscientific methods he used had no effect on the pendant.

The only thing we know now is that this thing seems to be very destructive to magical things. It can instantly destroy magical energy and disable it.

He could only take a gamble and hope that his guess was correct and this thing could really save his life.

The final result did not disappoint Chen Cheng. The magic needles that were shot out immediately lost their power and disappeared when they broke through Chen Cheng's clothes and touched his skin.

Chen Cheng could only feel a chill on his back, and then nothing happened.

Chen Cheng did not check whether he was injured or not. The variable magic that had been running in his body for a long time quickly outlined a tracking magic for him.

However, due to the disabling effect of the pendant, the magic needle shot by the killer did not leave any trace, so his simple tracking magic was of little use.

Although he didn't have magic, Chen Cheng, who had scientific knowledge in his mind, quickly searched in the direction where he felt the coolness on his back, and soon he found the place where the killer had just stood.

Because of the guy's undisguised magical disturbance just now, there were still a lot of magical fluctuations remaining where he was standing.

Looking at the attack site which was more than 200 meters away from where he was just now, Chen Cheng felt a chill on his back.

Where did this master come from? He can actually kill the target directly from two hundred meters away in the downtown area without alerting other people.

This guy's method is simply a magical version of sniper assassination.

Finier ran to Chen Cheng and looked him over, but didn't find any injuries.

As for the small scratch on the back, Finier just thought that it was caused by Chen Cheng accidentally scratching it with a nail, and she never associated it with the assassin's attack method.

"Little Nunu, you scared me to death."

Chen Cheng rubbed his back, then looked around at the busy streets, and then he smiled and said:

"Maybe this was just a prank by some bored guy. Come on, young lady, I will continue to explain to you the magic I just performed on you."

Just as the master and the servant were chatting and laughing, the killer who had already left, when he saw that Chen Cheng looked fine, he felt in his heart that he might have been hallucinating.

That is a killing weapon condensed from all his magic energy. Even though it is only the size of an embroidery needle, it is a netherworld magic needle that is powerful enough to penetrate the domain of a platinum-level master and deliver a fatal blow directly.

"Damn it, this kid is really weird. My Netherworld Magic Needle has no effect on him."
