Chapter 113 – Assassination Order (3)
A town that doesn’t treat strangers as strange because it has a grape farm. People who do not pay attention to others because they enjoy entertainment. A mansion far from the village.
The viper was confident. I was convinced that this is my stage right now. He sat down at the bar, let out an eerie grin, and began examining the information he had gathered. Rumor has it that Evan and Isabel’s mansion has recently had basement work done.
The basement construction was done before this incident happened, so the probability that it was a construction in preparation for an assassin was low. Considering the story that local dignitaries moved into the mansion immediately after construction, there was a high probability that there was some kind of entertainment facility for the local dignitaries in the basement.
“A brazen slave trying to have fun.”
The viper was unhappy with Evan, who was enjoying a luxurious life compared to himself, who was not earning enough money. He could not bear to grind his teeth whenever there was a glimpse of the wealth and extravagance he was foraging for. A person who invites local dignitaries and enjoys pleasure, has a pretty aristocratic wife and is even rich?
“The cock must be small.”
The viper was jealous while holding the documents alone, but when the employee looked at him suspiciously, he cleared his throat and turned the papers over again.
If you give yourself to anger, you will ruin even the most successful things. Injecting personal feelings into assassination was bound to make a mistake. The Vipers again made up his mind and went through his papers.
Originally, there was an entrance to the basement from the warehouse behind the mansion, but it was written that this entrance was removed during the renovation process. Originally, the warehouse was for a wine bar, and there was also a story that it was enlarged to be used for other purposes.
On the next page was a blueprint of the interior of the mansion. After confirming the simple structure of the first and second floors, the viper nodded and folded the map again. Checking the blueprints showed that one of the water pipes from the bathroom was passing right through the basement.
If Evan shot his venom upwards at the timing of his bathing, Evan would surely die floating in his bathtub without knowing anything.
Congratulating himself on what he thought was the perfect plan, the Vipers sorted out the paperwork. Right now tomorrow. The vipers were planning to infiltrate the warehouse of the mansion.
*****
“Also.”
As expected, there were no guards in the mansion. Aren’t Evan and Mousetrap too complacent? The viper smirked and knocked on the old warehouse door with his foot. The sturdy warehouse door was thick enough not to be broken by foot, and was padlocked.
However, Viper was an assassin and a veteran of the thieves’ guild. He took a piece of wire out of his pocket, twisted it into a circle, and pushed it through his lock and moved it around. He didn’t move a few times, and the lock unlocked, pulling out the contents all the way like a dog in the heat.
In a dark warehouse. The warehouse, as spacious as the size of the mansion, was so intricately hung that it was difficult to stir it by hand. The viper took a match from his poison bag and lit it to look inside. I could see tools and odds and ends and dried groceries reflected in the scarlet light.
Bags of flour were stacked in a corner, next to which were foodstuffs such as cheese, dried meats, and fruit. The sausages hanging from the ceiling stimulated the viper’s hunger.
The vipers took off one of the sausages and looked inside again. Poisoning food was a difficult method to try. It was because there was no guarantee that Evan would eat first, and if Isabel ate first and died, the assassination operation would have failed.
The Plancia family demanded that only Evan and the mousetrap be killed. Killing Isabelle was a pointless killing. The viper ate another sausage and looked inside. She said the original shed had a door to the cellar, so there must have been a hole in the wall.
She cautiously tapped the wall and realized that the wall facing the door made a strange thud, not a muffled thud. She took another look at the surrounding walls to gauge the size of the door. The viper pulled out her tools and went to work.
Since his method of assassination had to be preceded by covert infiltration and concealment, he was good at hiding such thin wooden boards by silently cutting them out and putting them back together. After applying a strong corrosive poison to the wood on the wire, insert it into the gap in the wood and rub it gently like sawing to make a hole large enough for one viper to enter.
After that, if you put a temporary fixing pin in and fix the board that came in again, there was no break-in until he succeeded in assassinating and ran away.
“Huh?”
The viper tried to push the wire in, but he frowned. It was because the planks holding the wall back were loose. The viper could see that the plank rocked back and forth. Seeing that the plank fell naturally, the viper was a little embarrassed and took a step back from him, but managed to catch his heart.
“Ah, that’s right. It’s not that local dignitaries go inside and don’t come out. I was going in and out through this back door. It’s hard to sell your face. Naughty bastards.”
The viper smiled contentedly and blessed their composure. Because their lewd behavior was driving Evan and the mousetrap that feed them into ruin. If this job was done properly, he could have been hired by the Plancia family and acted as a reputable assassin.
Beyond the warehouse wall, brilliant scarlet lights were illuminating the road as if hinting at his future. The sounds of people clamoring with strange music could be heard in the light.
“The world sings a song to me.”
This place, which was once made into a basement staircase, was only blocked off with a wall, but it seemed that no action was taken to break down the stairs or cover them with earth. Giving up security to maintain a secret passage. The viper once again faced the wall, laughing at the mousetrap and Evan’s complacency.
Through the gap in the door, which was clumsily closed with a solid wooden board, light shone through, like the spines of a sea urchin. I could see people wriggling through the shadows and oversized bodies wriggling like slimes.
“Guooooo…!”
“Guuuuu… !”
Inside, an unknown sound resounded, whether it was people’s moaning or the howling of animals. Viper was already convinced that the success of his mission was within reach. After the banquet held at night, people would have collapsed during the day, and in the meantime, after subduing all the guests at the banquet, they could leisurely wait for Evan’s bath in the basement.
“Oohhhhh!”
“Goowook! Guaaaaagh!”
The viper frowned at the stench that seemed to numb her nostrils and squinted her eyes at a groan that grew disgusting the closer she got.
“Babe Evan. I hear you enjoy having fun with local dignitaries, how dirty are you playing?”
The viper wanted to confirm the identity of this sound. She needed to know how the inside of the banquet hall had changed, so she, the viper, naturally poked her head towards the largest hole. Her bright lights dazzled her. Her frowning face gradually took the interior of the banquet hall into view.
Her squishy whiteness. And fat, bloated naked people. Stench.
The moment the viper realized the identity of the banquet taking place inside her, her body stiffened.
“Sir, fuck!”
Involuntarily, as he was about to start screaming and stepping backwards, his foot pressed a footswitch he hadn’t seen before. The floor slumped slightly, dislocating her center of gravity, and the viper tried to balance herself somehow with her puzzled face.
“Uh huh?”
But his efforts were to no avail. It was because the door that was blocking the entrance to the corridor opened as if on both sides, and at the same time, a powerful force pushed his back.
“Whoaaaaagh!”
As the viper levitated, he tried to identify the entity that had somehow pushed him away. Where she turned her head, a clear magic circle appeared. The viper shook his head.
I couldn’t believe this absurd trap.
How?
The viper let out a silent scream and shook his head.
How?
I heard that there are definitely no wizards in Evan’s mansion?
Neither Evan nor the maids are wizards, right?
“Why… !”
He plummeted to the floor before he could finish his sentence. He buried his face on the rotten, soggy floor and barely got up. In the thieves’ guild, losing consciousness was death, so assassins were trained to stay sane in any situation.
“Uh, uh!”
And, before his eyes, the door was closing again. The viper began to crawl towards the door with his embarrassed face. Because the floor was slippery, I couldn’t run. Shaking his arms and legs wildly as if struggling through a swamp, the viper eagerly made his way toward the exit.
Why do you run away
The mission requires him to remain in this cellar, so why does he run away?
Even the vipers couldn’t explain why. It was because the moment he was thrown into the middle of this banquet hall, a visceral fear took over him. Something grabbed his leg as he tried to escape.
“Wow!”
In the brilliant light, the viper faced a fat naked body paralyzed by reason. He was looking at the viper, drooling.
“Ahhh… ! What… ! What! All right, let go! I have to get out!”
The door was closing. The darkness disappeared, and a scarlet light enveloped the world. And, the huge fat people gathered here and there were slowly moving their sagging flesh and approaching the vipers.
The viper found her poison pouch.
But it was faster for another fat old man to grab his hand than he could open the venom sac.
“Aagh! Aaaaagh!”
The vipers were horrified. His reason had been blown away the moment he faced these dirty men. The viper began to scream and struggle.
“Guo Oh Ok …!”
“Gooooo!”
“Aaaaa! Stop that! Do not be like this! Please save me! Please don’t do this!”
Beautiful lighted ceiling. One by one, the viper’s clothes flew towards the ceiling. It looked like a celebration of a new guest.
“Quaaaaagh!”
