Chapter 45: Dream Return
Yu Zhe finished saying this sentence expressionlessly, he had completely made up his mind, since there was no one to help him, then he would avenge his revenge himself.
After He Zhiliang listened, he let out a long sigh, didn't say anything, just nodded, he had actually expected that this might be the result, but when he really heard this coming out of Yu Zhe's mouth, he still felt a trace of inexplicable regret.
The two of them didn't say anything more, they both lowered their heads and continued their work.
Yu Zhe had mixed feelings, he did make the decision after careful consideration, but he actually didn't know the so-called killer industry, even after a year of getting along with He Zhiliang, there was still very little information he could understand.
"Can you tell me more about this industry......" Yu Zhe asked He Zhiliang, if He Zhiliang deliberately concealed it because he couldn't be sure of his thoughts, then now that he has clearly expressed his determination, then these things must be told to him after all.
"What do you want to ask? I'll tell you everything I know. "Despite being a killer, He Zhiliang doesn't actually know much.
"I want to know about the contact. β
"The liaison and the killer are similar to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, the liaison is the management, and is responsible for receiving instructions from the higher level and distributing those instructions to the killer in the form of tasks, and we are only the lowest level of employees. He Zhiliang began to patiently explain to Yu Zhe.
"But why wouldn't they accept my commission...... You just said that this is the rule, but I want to know more details. Yu Zhe is very concerned about this problem, because this is very different from the killer industry he thinks, and in his understanding, as long as the commission is enough, a killer or contact person can take over the commission.
"Because the contact person needs to consider the identity of the employer before accepting the entrustment, so as not to be betrayed by the employer after the matter is completed, or encounter the fishing law enforcement by the police, they will never accept the entrustment of a simple stranger, and the employer will always be an acquaintance, or a person who is guaranteed by an acquaintance."
This question is very complicated to explain, according to common sense, the killer should not know the reason for this, but after all, He Zhiliang has been in this industry for more than ten years, and from the words of his contact, he can only vaguely understand some information about these things.
"Even if you have money, you may not be able to hire a killer, otherwise why are there so many murderers in the world, they can obviously use the money to hire a person who has nothing to do with them, to make the person they hate disappear, no matter what, the risk is much smaller than if they did it themselves, but this kind of thing can't happen, because they don't have access to the killer industry at all. β
He Zhiliang explained endlessly, this was the most he talked about in the year after Yu Zhe met him, and even when he said this, he didn't mean to stop at all.
"The people who can hire the killer are definitely not ordinary people, they must have excellent interpersonal relationships, and the employer often has to pay more money to get through the relationship in addition to the commission prepared for the killer, so it seems quite unfair when you think about it carefully, a killer gambles his life to work, and the money he may earn is not even as much as a powerful person's mouth, and connections are really a very important thing. β
"Original...... That's ......" He Zhiliang's explanation completely subverted Yu Zhe's thinking, even such a shady profession still has not escaped the so-called social rules.
"There's one more thing you have to remember. Ho added, "It's not easy to hire a killer, and the person who can be a target for a killer is definitely not an ordinary person." β
"Why. Yu Zhe was a little puzzled for a while.
"When your status reaches a certain height, do you still care about an ordinary person who has offended you?" He Zhiliang looked at Yu Zhe, waiting for his answer.
Yu Zhe shook his head, as if he understood what He Zhiliang meant.
"Therefore, people like the kind of people who will repay often can't make a big deal, and those who can really control the right to speak will not care about those details, so the people who can be regarded as targets by them will inevitably not be ordinary. After He Zhiliang finished speaking, he didn't forget to ask, "You understand?"
"I see," Yu Zhe replied, nodding.
According to the original memory, after Yu Zhe finished speaking, He Zhiliang started the next topic, but unexpectedly, He Zhiliang's face sank in this memory, and he asked again in a gloomy and terrifying voice like a robot.
"Then didn't you think about why you killed that ordinary man named Wu Ming?"
"Huh?" This question hit the consciousness of Yu Zhe, who had always been a bystander, and he suddenly found that now he could control the body in the dream world, and quickly looked left and right, and found that the entire dream world seemed to be collapsing.
Only a small part of the space he was in was retained, and the other positions were spliced together with things from different time and space, and all the objects around him began to become distorted, including He Zhiliang in front of him.
"Then didn't you think about why you killed that ordinary man named Wu Ming?"
He Zhiliang asked again like a repeater, but his voice also began to become ghostly, sometimes like a man, sometimes like a woman, sometimes like a child, which seemed to force Yu Zhe to give an answer.
"I ......" Yu Zhe couldn't answer, because he couldn't remember who the person named Wu Ming was, it felt very familiar, so he hung on his lips and wanted to come out, but in the end, he couldn't come up with a reason after racking his brains.
"Do you remember why you're here?"
The "person" in front of Yu Zhe asked a different question, he was no longer He Zhiliang, his face was changing back and forth like a flashing screen, his body was distorted and deformed irregularly, and his current appearance could not even be called a person.
"I remember my ......" Yu Zhe began to think along with the question, but as expected, he couldn't even answer the question, he couldn't remember what happened before he entered the dream, and he didn't know why he was trapped here and couldn't wake up.
"Do you remember who you are?"
A voice from nowhere asked, the things around Yu Zhe were completely broken, everything he could see was a mess, he couldn't even see the general shape, he couldn't even feel the presence of gravity, as if he was floating in the air.
"I'm Yu Zhe......" This was the only question that Yu Zhe could answer, although he didn't know why the voice asked him that.
As soon as the words came out, everything returned to its original state, still the familiar room, the familiar location, and the familiar He Zhiliang, as if nothing had happened just now.
He Zhiliang's words regressed slightly, still explaining the question of why the target would not be ordinary people, and after speaking, he asked as he did just now, "You understand?"
Yu Zhe nodded, his body was once again uncontrolled by his consciousness, and he began to act with his own memories.
"If only you could understand. He Zhiliang said.
The memories did not collapse again, but continued to develop according to the established plot, and Yu Zhe regained his good mood and continued to observe everything as a bystander.
"Of course, there is one more reason why the target will not be ordinary people. Ho Zhiliang continued to explain.
"What's that?" Yu Zhe asked.
"Those who really hold power, the first way to deal with the problem is definitely not assassination, although it is undeniable that if someone wants to achieve a goal, the shortest answer is to let all the opponents disappear, but this method is a palliative treatment, kill a group of opponents, there will be another group, so if you want to fundamentally solve the problem, the best choice for those in power is to negotiate, and when things progress to this part, opponents will often give in, to seek a mutually beneficial balance, no one will be unable to get along with interestsγ β
Faced with He Zhiliang's series of explanations, Yu Zhe couldn't have imagined that a person who had been silent for a year would now say so many things in one breath.
"Assassination is always the last resort after negotiations fail, but there are exceptions, some people rely on assassination to weaken the opponent's power, those targets are really pitiful, they are just victims of the struggle for power, maybe they have no ambition at all, but disaster falls from the sky. β
Later, He Zhiliang seemed to say something, but Yu Zhe in his consciousness couldn't listen to a word, he was thinking about the question he was asked when the dream collapsed, why he was trapped in this dream that didn't know when it would end, and what happened before that.
There was a vague fragment in Yu Zhe's mind, and several figures vaguely appeared in it, judging from the figure, there seemed to be a man and a woman, two people surrounded him, and the remaining few people fell to the ground.
He seemed to be able to see the mouths of the two people around him open and closed, as if they were saying something, but he tried to listen carefully but couldn't hear clearly, and there was only a sharp blind sound in the fragment.
And then he went into the darkness.
He began to think again, who was the mentioned Wu Ming, and why did he mention this person's name.
Is this dream that he can't wake up from really just a reminder of the past?
Everything seems to be related, and Yu Zhe in the dream has only experienced many, many fragments, and these events have a huge impact on his future.
Just when Yu Zhe was engrossed in thinking, a sharp warning suddenly disturbed his thoughts.
"Yu Zhe, concentrate!"
Yu Zhe came back to his senses suddenly, and a knife flashing cold light swung towards him, his body moved quickly to dodge, but the knife instantly turned around and came towards him again, every movement was strongly aggressive, as long as one was not careful, it was easy to lose his life.
Finally, Yu Zhe still showed his flaws, he leaned backwards, only to feel a gust of wind pass in front of him, and then his neck was cold.
