Chapter 435: Getting Knife
Chapter 435: Getting Knife
Although it sounded like a request, Christina rushed out with her weapon in hand before Howard could answer.
There was another burst of gunfire outside, and then silence soon followed.
Howard also ran out. He saw that the members of the previous team were now lying all over the corridor. Most of their bodies were badly mutilated, and there were several large and scary scratches on the walls on both sides.
When Howard chased out, the maid was interrogating the last survivor.
Christina kicked off her high heels that were in the way. She put one foot in a pool of blood and the other foot on the leg of the last survivor. Blood kept climbing up the bottom of her white stockings.
She placed her sword against the man's chin and asked respectfully:
"Please tell me, who are you? What is your purpose in attacking the Helvenson family's fleet? Are you targeting Lord Howard? And who ordered you to do so?"
But the other party did not respond, so Christina didn't waste any words. She swung the hilt of her sword and beheaded the other party.
She would be overwhelmed, not because she "had enemies".
Rather, it was because "some enemies dared to act presumptuously in the territory of the Helivinson family." In Christina's opinion, this was the most unreasonable thing.
It's like you are a soldier and your unit is conducting a live-fire drill, and suddenly you receive information that thieves have broken into the barracks.
You were confused when you heard it.
After dealing with all the enemies, Christina tiptoed back into the high heels she had kicked off, and then when she turned around and saw Howard, she was shocked again.
"Sir? Why are you out here? Are you safe?"
After Howard replied in the negative, she added:
"Sir, you can't stay here any longer. Please follow me. I will definitely ensure your safety."
Howard: "Give me two minutes, I need to pack my things."
"I'll hold you there for two minutes, and no one will disturb you during this time," said Christina.
"Go into my room and guard it," Howard said.
Compared to the corridor, his room is safer.
So Howard and Christina entered the room, and Howard went further into the bathroom and closed the door.
Ohm Messiah Activated.
"What happened?" Howard asked the first question.
"Master, as you can see, the ship you're on has been attacked by another fleet. Although the attacking ship is disguised, judging by its performance and weaponry, it's a military vessel disguised as a space pirate."
Howard: "What's the status of the ship now?"
Om Messiah: "Master, seventy percent of the combatants on your ship have been consumed. Your ship is theoretically out of the control of its original forces."
Being able to kill 70% of the combatants in such a short time means that the battle was likely to have begun before the first round of explosions. Either there was a traitor on the spacecraft, or it had long been infiltrated by external enemies.
Howard: "Is there any chance of taking back the spacecraft?"
Ohm Messiah: "Answer Master, the chances are slim."
……
Howard walked out of the bathroom, picked up Freya's book on the table and walked out the door, while Christina was still there on guard.
"Mr. Howard!" Christina said after seeing Howard come out: "Please follow me..."
But Howard walked right past her and patted her on the shoulder:
"follow me."
The probability is extremely small, which means it exists.
While patting her shoulder, Howard took off the disconnected earphones hanging on her collar and put them into his own ears.
The channel of information exchange between Om Messiah and him was established again.
Christina looked at Howard in confusion, but followed him anyway.
……
ten minutes later.
"Sir, this place is extremely dangerous. Please evacuate as soon as possible." Christina kept admonishing Howard along the way: "Your safety is our top priority. Please don't take any risks."
Howard suddenly reached out to stop her.
"Christina, there will be an enemy force of seven people passing by in the left aisle in half a minute. Can you handle it?" Howard asked.
Christina: "Leave it to me, please."
So Howard and Christina hid in the shadows together and counted silently in their hearts.
When they counted to eighteen, a team of seven people passed by them, because they had already spent twelve seconds talking and hiding.
The team did not discover the two hiding people at the first time, which gave Christina the opportunity to take action. She jumped out like a snake, and the mop-powered sword in her hand cut through iron like mud, and instantly cut the team into pieces.
Howard neither praised nor appreciated. He stepped over the debris on the ground and continued to move forward. His current mission was to clear out the invaders and search for survivors.
Compared with the original Sherlock, this copy is so easy that it cannot be any easier.
Howard pressed the microphone of the communication device to his lips and whispered:
"Om Messiah, contact all survivors you can and guide them to a safe area."
Christina was obviously curious about Howard's predictive ability, but she didn't ask too many questions.
When Howard and Ohm Messiah got involved, the situation gradually turned in our favor.
First, the warship that was attacking from the outside, the gunners on it suddenly found that the machine spirit was unhappy, and the cannons they fired either misfired or had serious deviations, so their plan to destroy the caravan ship from the outside was basically declared a failure.
Then even the boarding capsule had problems. Its power was inexplicably shut down shortly after launch, and the people inside could only drift in the universe temporarily.
Under the restraint of Om Messiah, the enemy's strength in the battlefield no longer increased, while Howard and Christina were clearing out the invaders along the way. As one gained strength while the other lost strength, the balance seemed to gradually reverse.
……
"There's a survivor hiding behind the door on the right. He's one of ours. The door is locked." Howard said, "Pull him out."
"Yes, sir!" said Christina, and then she cut the door lock with a sword and opened the door.
"Go to hell!"
But the moment the door was opened, the person hiding behind the door also attacked Christina. Howard could tell that the other party was a friendly force, but the other party could not tell that Howard was a friendly force.
Faced with the sudden attack from the person behind the door, Christina was stunned. This little girl would be very slow in dealing with unexpected changes. For example, when she encountered the enemy disguised as one of her own, she stood there stupidly and became a target. It seemed that in her mind, friendly forces would not attack her, so there was no need to be prepared for this matter.
At the critical moment, Howard pulled her away, but as a price, the knife hit Howard's hand hard.
