Chapter 2304 Gotham Music Festival (Forty-three)
Black Canary lowered her body and slipped silently along the edge of the corridor like a nimble black cat, her body completely hidden in the shadows. The black tights she had just changed into provided the best cover for her.
Her eyes were fixed on a man in front of her. Black Canary had been following him for three minutes. She was very sure that he was a drug dealer who wanted to make some extra money in the chaos, and not even a professional killer.
There really is no one left in the Confession Cartel, Black Canary thought so, with a cunning look in her eyes. After being chased by these damn drug dealers for so long, it is finally time for her to take revenge.
Taking two more light steps forward, Black Canary squatted in the shadow at the corner of the stairs, clenching the blade in her hand. She knew that ten steps ahead there was a female corpse wearing a gorgeous long dress, the same dress she had worn before, with layers of hems and a thick baroque collar.
The skirt itself and the accessories on it are worth some money. More importantly, this outfit is often only owned by gamblers who participate in the game on the second floor, and the gamblers have gold coins in their hands, and the gold coins are real gold.
In fact, this has already caused quite a bit of confusion, as more and more people have realized that if today is a complete tragedy, then only the gold coins held by the people on the second floor can help them recover some of their losses. There is no shortage of people in this world who take advantage of troubled waters.
Greed is fine wine, greed is poison, and that's how Black Canary set up a trap. She put her own clothes on the corpse, making them mistakenly believe that the person lying on the ground was a guest on the second floor, who must have gold coins on him, specifically targeting these greedy fools.
Sure enough, the man was holding the gun vigilantly in the previous second, but he stopped in the next second, walked carefully to the side of the female corpse, and reached out his hand to touch the corpse.
But the skirt was so gorgeous and complicated that he could only hold up the hem with one hand but couldn't feel what was underneath. He looked around and found that there was no one nearby and nothing that could pose a threat to him, so he put the gun behind his back.
The moment a smile appeared on his face, he was stabbed in the throat.
The man didn't have time to make any sound before his artery and trachea were cut off. Black Canary immediately covered the wound and pressed the man's neck against her skirt, so that the blood would not spray too far and the bait could be reused.
When the blood became insufficient and turned from gushing to gurgling, Black Canary turned the man over, grabbed his ankle, and dragged him towards the stairs. She was not going to the cold storage to deal with the body. There was no need to use anything to hide the body in such a chaotic situation on the ship. After killing the person, she could just throw him into the sea and no one would know who did it.
Black Canary dragged the body to the window at the stairs. When she was about to open the window and throw the body down, she suddenly heard a sound coming from the end of the opposite corridor, like someone dragging a heavy object.
Black Canary froze, even though she acted decisively, she was a superhero who didn't kill people before. If it wasn't for the dangerous journey to protect Oliver, which made her realize that some people don't deserve to live, she probably wouldn't have any killing streak record now.
So even though her superb fighting skills allowed her to kill people effortlessly, she was not experienced in disposing of corpses and was still a little nervous. As soon as she heard any noise, she simply threw the body away and found the nearest room to hide in.
This was a warehouse with no observation window on the door. Black Canary thought for a moment, then lay on the ground and looked out the crack in the door.
Ta...ta...ta...
The sound of leather shoes' heels hitting the floor came from far away, and when it came closer it brought a dizzying tremor.
Black Canary first smelled a strong smell of blood, and then saw a pair of black leather shoes slowly walking past the door, dragging a corpse behind him.
It was a strong male corpse wearing a killer whale mask. When his face slid past the crack in the door, Black Canary saw that his eyes were wide open, and his right eye had turned into a bloody hole. Eyeball fragments and brain matter flowed out from it, slowly forming a great wall of flesh and blood on the floor.
Black Canary covered her mouth. She tried to stay as still as possible and stood up from the ground very, very, very slowly. Her instinct told her that she had to take a defensive posture as soon as possible in this situation, but the moment she moved, the footsteps stopped.
The corpse suddenly twitched, and its head hit the wall made of its own brains. Black Canary knew that the other party had put the corpse down, and her heart instantly rose to her throat.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...silently.
In such a quiet environment, she should have been able to clearly hear the other person's heartbeat and breathing, but Black Canary only heard her own. The murderer who was dragging the corpse seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Black Canary took a deep breath and slowly put her ear to the door, trying to listen to the noise outside. When she heard nothing, she took another step forward, put her eyes close to the crack in the door, and looked outside.
Swish!
Her eyes rolled upwards in horror. A long spike was just three centimeters above her head. Blood dripping from the tip slid down her hair and onto her back, tightening her spine and causing her whole body to shudder.
The moment Black Canary straightened up, she saw an eye appear behind the crack in the door. The gray pupils looked more like those of a cold-blooded animal, but his distracted look made people feel that he saw nothing.
Black Canary took a deep breath and she felt the door being pushed. The movement was very light, but the flimsy door lock still caused the door to shake.
It was this extremely slight shake that made Black Canary realize that the decorative door of this broken ship had no defense capabilities at all and could be knocked open in two hits, which finally made her lose all sense of security.
So she did what most people would do in defense when faced with a door. She turned around and put her back against the door, using her feet as support to prevent anyone from breaking in.
Black Canary inhaled sharply, exerted strength on her legs, gritted her teeth and looked around the room. The room she chose in a hurry had no windows, which meant that she had no room to escape. If the other party broke in, she would have no choice but to fight to the death.
But she only had a blade about an inch long in her hand, and she could only rely on sneak attacks to kill the drug dealer. The opponent seemed to have head-on defeated a strong man of at least 200 pounds and had a weapon at hand. In this situation, she was at a great disadvantage and there was no possibility of winning in a head-on confrontation.
Black Canary took a deep breath, and at this moment her eyes caught something on the left. There was originally a large wardrobe on the left, but there was a small open shelf between the wardrobe and the door, and a giraffe-shaped decoration was placed on the third layer of the shelf.
This ornament has a metal base and is about the same length as Black Canary's forearm. Black Canary, who has rich fighting experience, immediately thought that the best way to deal with a broken-in attack is to hit the opponent's head with a blunt object at the last second when the opponent's vision is blocked by the broken door.
A heavy blow to the head would cause any humanoid creature to become temporarily dizzy and lose vision. If the blow hit the right part, it could even cause the person to fall to the ground and lose consciousness immediately, giving Black Canary a chance to rush out of the room.
She took another deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and slowly moved to the left. While still holding the door, she used her hand to hook the giraffe statue.
The little finger of his left hand slowly moved across the crack in the door, followed by the entire palm, then the arm and the left side of his back.
What Black Canary didn't know was that the eyes watching her through the crack in the door were slowly starting to focus.
Black Canary finally touched the statue. She quickly withdrew her hand and hid behind the door hinge with nimble movements, waiting to give the other party a hard blow when he broke in.
boom! !
The door panel was hit hard, and the loud noise made Black Canary's heart jump suddenly. She tightly grasped the statue in her hand, imagining the scene when everything happened according to plan.
BANG!!! BANG!!!!!!
After two more collisions, Black Canary saw that the door lock was shaking, and she slowly raised the statue in her hand. The moment she saw a figure, she would smash the thing in her hand hard on the other person's head.
Suddenly, it became quiet.
Black Canary's arms froze.
BANG!!! ...
The entire door panel flew out with her.
Black Canary fell heavily in the middle of the small warehouse. The door panel broke into pieces when it hit her, and the statue in her hand fell to the corner of the wall.
She used her arm to suddenly wave away the debris in front of her eyes, and saw a man standing in front of the door against the light. He was wearing a red suit and a shawl, and holding a blood-stained tuna mask in his left hand.
The moment his eyes met Black Canary's, every cell in her body screamed.
"Schiller!!!!"
She got up from the ground as quickly as possible, but Schiller was faster than her.
boom!
The fragment of door panel that Black Canary had just lifted was pierced through, and the spikes on the top of the gun and mask were only one centimeter away from her forehead.
Black Canary suddenly swung the door panel fragment to the left, shaking Schiller's arm away. Taking advantage of the gap, she stood up completely from the ground and staggered to grab the statue in the corner.
The fragment of door panel hanging on the marlin spike did not last for a second. Schiller waved his hand, and after the fragment fell, he took a step forward and stabbed the marlin spike straight into Black Canary's right abdomen.
"Well!!!!!"
Her pupils dilated instantly. The intense pain not only tensed her muscles, but also completely ignited her adrenaline. Black Canary stepped back abruptly, out of the attack range of Marlin Mask. She covered the wound with one hand, bent down with the other hand to pick up the statue, and threw it at Schiller.
With a bang, the heavy statue was blocked by Schiller's arm and flew away. It hit the wall heavily, and the base fell off and broke into two pieces.
Taking advantage of the moment when Schiller raised his arm, Black Canary rushed to his left side and rushed into the corridor quickly, but then took a breath, covered the wound, and leaned against the wall.
She was breathing heavily. Seeing Schiller walking out of the room, Black Canary said in disbelief, "What's wrong with you? Aren't you Oliver's friend? Why are you..."
The marlin spikes stabbed again, and Black Canary turned and ran, but just after she turned and ran a few steps, Schiller's movements reached another level of speed.
Black Canary didn't see how he moved behind her. She only saw a shadow suddenly cover the ground in front of her. A sharp pain came from her right shoulder. Black Canary suddenly lunged forward and touched her back with trembling hands. Her fingers touched another bloody hole.
Black Canary opened her mouth and gasped for air, no longer caring about anything else. In the sharp pain, she tried to concentrate, and a sound wave similar to the chirping of a bird quickly spread from her mouth.
"Om-"
Not only Schiller, but almost everyone on the entire floor slowed down their movements. They felt dizzy, stiff and numb, and some people could not even move at all.
Black Canary closed her mouth and tried hard to lower her racing heart rate. She did her best to get up from the ground and limped towards the stairs.
Although she still couldn't control this ability very well, she knew the power of "Canary's Song" and she had enough time to leave here.
But at the moment when Black Canary turned her back to Schiller, Schiller moved.
