"Concentrate and be so distracted, sooner or later you're going to kill yourself. ”

He Zhiliang took the dagger and reached out to pull Yu Zhe up from the ground.

They are in a long-abandoned basement at the moment, and since Yu Zhe said that he wants to become a killer, General He Zhiliang brought him here to train him.

There are many items every day, in addition to basic physical training such as long-distance running, there are also a variety of training including footwork, boxing, and knife skills.

Although He Zhiliang only has one hand that can be used flexibly, his knife skills are strange and changeable, and Yu Zhe, who often fights with sound hands, has no power to fight back.

"Go on. Yu Zhe patted the dust on his body and re-posed.

He Zhiliang didn't say much, he rushed directly towards Yu Zhe, the range of the knife was very small, ordinary people might not notice, the knife hand was in front, the other hand protected his face and neck, and after approaching Yu Zhe, he slashed at him diagonally from bottom to top to attack.

Yu Zhe was engrossed, stepped back to dodge, He Zhiliang directly turned his wrist, so that the blade that was originally oblique towards Yu Zhe turned, directly aimed at him with the tip of the knife, and reached out to stab forward.

Yu Zhe retreated again, but his entire upper body moved to the left in an arc trajectory, seizing the opportunity when He Zhiliang stretched out his arm and didn't have time to retract it, bypassed his knife-wielding hand, directly pressed against his body, and swung the knife to attack.

"How many times have you said it, don't attack in such a hurry!"

He Zhiliang said as he used the arm protecting his neck to pull away Yu Zhe's knife, Yu Zhe seemed to anticipate this action, and directly swung another fist towards He Zhiliang's door.

But it was just that the change of hands in less than half a second gave He Zhiliang the opportunity to withdraw the knife, only to see him directly hold the knife hand around the inside of Yu Zhe's arm, slide along his arm, and directly put the blade against his neck.

The action stopped, Yu Zhe was a little unwilling, but the result was obviously in front of him, if He Zhiliang hadn't stopped in time, he would have been a dead soul under the knife.

"Take a break. He Zhiliang patted Yu Zhe on the shoulder, sat down directly against the wall, took out a bottle of water from his backpack and drank a few sips, tightened the lid and threw it directly to Yu Zhe.

Yu Zhe didn't dislike it, he directly drank the rest of the water and sat down next to He Zhiliang.

"You don't have to attack in a hurry, in the face of others taking the initiative to attack, you still have to take the lead in defense first, and wait for the other party to show flaws before counterattacking. Ho began to summarize some of the details of the battle just now.

"I remembered. Yu Zhe nodded and replied.

"What do you remember? How many times have I told you this? I'm almost annoyed with myself. He Zhiliang poked Yu Zhe's head with his finger vigorously, and his tone was slightly helpless, "But compared with me back then, your progress is also fast, and you are quick to react, and you can quickly think of a way to deal with it after one of my actions, which is praised." ”

Hearing He Zhiliang's affirmation, Yu Zhe lowered his head, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, he was still a young man after all, and he would inevitably show a happy look when he was praised.

"Eh, don't be too happy. He Zhiliang saw Yu Zhe's transformation, and immediately changed his mouth and said, "I was a hand back then, if you weren't better than me like this, you wouldn't be able to say it!"

Although Yu Zhe has indeed done a good job in many places, He Zhiliang's praise for him has always been held in a certain scale, and young people are inevitably arrogant, in case he really floats, I am afraid that he will suffer a big loss in the days to come.

"You were already a hand before you became a killer?" Yu Zhe really didn't expect that he thought that He Zhiliang had broken his hand because of a mission injury, but he didn't expect that he was already like this before he entered the industry.

"So you don't know. He Zhiliang said with a smile.

"And what about it...... Why did it become like this...... "Yu Zhe never knew how to taboo when he spoke, mainly because he himself didn't realize that his words might irritate other people's scars.

"It was a long time ago. He Zhiliang did not shy away from the topic of his severed hand, and even put his hand in mid-air and looked at it repeatedly like a work of art, which contained countless memories of him.

"I was born in a remote mountain village, where the economy is backward and the transportation is blocked, and my family is considered the poorest in the whole mountain village, and I can't even guarantee the most basic food and clothing every day, but despite this, I have six other brothers and sisters, and we can sometimes fight for a bite to eat. ”

He Zhiliang began to tell the story of his year, and Yu Zhe listened quietly on the side.

"Finally one day, the family really couldn't support so many children's expenses, so I and one of my sisters and a sister were sold to traffickers, my sister was very lucky, was sold to a couple, life is relatively good, my sister because of her good looks, it is said that she was sold to the big city of entertainment, although later I traveled to many places to find them again, but nothing, I think it is difficult to see again in this life. ”

"What about you. Yu Zhe asked.

"I was sold many times, because I was too young to work as a coolie, so the last time I was sold to a criminal gang that begged for a living, and they bought a lot of children like me, deliberately made them disabled, threw them into the street to beg, blinded my eyes, and broke my legs...... They used all the cruel methods you can imagine, and I don't know what they liked at the time, but they only cut off one of my hands, taught me a few acrobatic moves, and made me go out on the streets, and that was five years. ”

"Since you've been thrown into the street, haven't you thought about running away?" Yu Zhe listened to He Zhiliang's story, but felt a little puzzled by his behavior.

"It's so simple. He Zhiliang smiled bitterly, "Their people will always be watching, if they dare to run away or call for help, they will be arrested in a few minutes, I remember that at that time, in order to make an example of chickens and monkeys, they beat a child who tried to escape to death in front of us, and no one dared to run after that." ”

Yu Zhe didn't think that He Zhiliang's previous life would be so miserable, and he couldn't help but sympathize, but then he had other doubts.

"Then how did you become a killer in the first place......" Yu Zhe was still open-mouthed, all of which was to blame for his emotional intelligence that was far lower than others, and his hopeless curiosity.

"This ......" He Zhiliang didn't want to answer, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing to hide, after all, many things were facts, and Yu Zhe, as his apprentice, knew that it didn't hurt.

"Once, when I was begging on the street, I happened to see a man in his forties, with very sharp eyes, not like an ordinary person, who stood and watched me for hours, walked up to me, bent down to put money in my bowl, and whispered to me, 'Will the boy come with me?'. ”

"You promised?"

I didn't say yes right away, so I asked him a question. When He Zhiliang said this, he suddenly paused, and his question at that time was extremely embarrassing.

"You asked him where he was going to take you?" Yu Zhe asked guessingly.

"It's not. He Zhiliang lowered his head and laughed, "I asked him if I could have a full meal if I left with him." ”

"So...... Simple?" Yu Zhe really thought was incredible.

"I was only fifteen years old at the time, so I didn't think much about it, and he replied that I could, but then I thought that there were people watching around, so I suddenly became scared and didn't dare to go with him, and the man comforted me and said don't worry, he will solve it, and took my hand and left. ”

He Zhiliang breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"But after a few steps, the man who was watching me followed, and directly forced us into an alley, took out his knife, and threatened the man not to meddle, but the man didn't say anything, let go of my hand, and rushed towards the watcher, I only felt that in the blink of an eye, the man snatched the knife, waved his hand and counterattacked, the knife was bloody, but each knife avoided the vital point, and finally the man threw the knife to the ground, and carried me away. ”

As he spoke, He Zhiliang's face suddenly changed, and he changed to a low tone.

"I didn't think that this man would change my life, he took me to a meal, took a shower, changed my clothes, and then left the city by train, and then he started teaching me all kinds of martial arts techniques, and I didn't think too much about it, so I just followed it, and I probably never imagined that he would be a killer at the time. ”

"Why did he help you......" Yu Zhe asked while He Zhiliang was speaking.

"To get out of this business. He Zhiliang smiled and sighed, "I was cultivated by him as an heir, his scheming is very deep, the reason why he chose me was to sell me a favor, so that I could not refuse him in the end, but because of my hand, it was inconvenient to use a gun, so he only taught me the skills of using a knife." ”

Yu Zhe didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head and continued to listen.

"I did my first mission when I was twenty years old, and I can still remember what that target looked like, it was really horrible, and since then I have taken over the man's work, and the man has since left, and we have never seen each other again, and I am indeed grateful that he saved me from the depths of misery, but now I see that he has only pushed me into another abyss. ”

He Zhiliang looked at Yu Zhe, who was bowing his head and silent, next to him, and felt a little regretful, what is the difference between what he is doing now and the person back then.

In fact, he He Zhiliang didn't want to harm anyone, but he couldn't get out, so he set up one rule after another for himself, such as he didn't kill anyone other than the target no matter what.

Because of this rule, he would be careful every time he worked, in case there would be witnesses, but Yu Zhe really surprised him, so that he didn't know what to do with this person at the time, which led to this situation now.

"I didn't have any choice. He Zhiliang said to Yu Zhe slowly, with infinite sadness in his tone, "That's why I don't want you to follow in my footsteps if you have a choice, and now it's too late to quit." ”

"I'm not going to quit. Yu Zhe replied firmly, "Since I have made a decision, I will not regret it!"
