Chapter 1: A World in Turmoil

Next Chapter

In Europe, in the heart of the Alps, there is an unknown city, more of a small country than a city. In this city, the sound of gunfire is constantly ringing.

At this time, a man in black, dressed in black, stood on the tallest building in the city and looked down.

The man carried a sword on his back, which was a Han sword, and the cloak behind him was rattled by the cold wind.

The man in black looked deeply, looking down, listening to the sound of gunfire, as if enjoying a pleasant symphony.

Suddenly, a person appeared behind him again, as if he hadn't noticed, and said lightly: "In such a turbulent world, no one can choose their own fate, even if you have great power, you can't change the tide of history, although the world seems to be peaceful now, but under the peace is an unknown crime, maybe it's time for me to go back to Huaxia to see......"

The man behind the man in black said in English, "My lord, are you sure you want to go back to Huaxia?"

The man in black said: "Charles, after I leave, you will be in charge of the order here, you don't need to ask me, and according to the news, there is a killer organization here, you go and investigate." ”

Charles behind the man in black said: "My lord, we are killers, be careful of the Huaxia police after returning to Huaxia, and don't forget that the Garden of Eden is waiting for your return." ”

The man in black said, "No, we are not killers, but assassins, and we are not like killers. ”

After the man in black finished speaking, he left here, leaving Charles to look down blankly and said, "That's right, we are not the same as the killers. ”

It is said that the assassin and the killer, although they do the same thing, but the assassin has his own creed, his own code of conduct and beliefs, but the killer only knows how to do things with money.

However, when it comes to assassination, you will find that assassination is a special profession in human history, often responsible for the murder or assassination of a target person for political or personal reasons. Some Assassins performed the Assassins alone, others worked in groups, some were highly trained full-time Assassins, and some became Assassins by chance due to the objective environment.

Assassins are also one of the oldest professions in human history. Professional assassins first appeared during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, often for political reasons, and were responsible for assassinating their targets. Assassins often aim to inflict a fatal blow on the target and their related objects in a short period of time. Han Dynasty historian Sima Qian's essay "The Biography of the Assassins" in his book "Records of the Historians" is the earliest biographical material of the Assassins in China, among which the "Four Great Assassins" are the most famous with the creed of "death for those who are confidants". The early Chinese Assassins had a relatively simple motive for assassination, and often went to assassinate out of gratitude for the kindness of their clients, so they had a chivalrous atmosphere. After the Qin Dynasty, the motives for assassination were mostly money, reputation, hatred, politics and other reasons. Assassins were often very secretive, often taking advantage of the unpreparedness of their targets. The Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai once wrote in "Chivalrous Journey": "Kill one person in ten steps, and leave no line for a thousand miles; "A vivid portrayal of the character of this mysterious figure.

To give a well-known example, Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, and it can be said that Jing Ke is the most famous assassin.

Don't think that there are only Assassins in the East, and there is still an Assassin industry in Western countries.

In the West, the English name for "Assassin" is "Assassin", which refers to a person who makes assassination a profession. The word "Assassin" is derived from the Old Arabic word "Hashshashin". The earliest recorded assassin in the West was a Jewish woman named Jayi, who is mentioned in the Bible. The Bible records that she used her beauty to lure the enemy leader Sisera into her tent and then killed her while she had no stakes. Professional Western Assassins originated in the late 11th century from the Assasin sect, an Esoteric order whose goal was to assassinate the Crusaders, founded by a Turkic Persian named Hassan al-Sabah. Members of the group who were tasked with assassination often took Hashshin, an anesthetic extracted from India*. In 1251, the last leader of the Assasin faction, Rukhreddin Kusha, sent Assassins to assassinate the Mongol Khan Möngke. In 1256, the Eagle's Nest, the stronghold of the Assasins, was destroyed by the Mongol army led by Hulegu. Since then, the sect has gradually disappeared.

This was the Western Assassins, but the values and motives of the Assassins, whether Eastern or Western, varied greatly, some for money, some out of righteous indignation, some for political or religious ideals, and some wanted to do earth-shattering things to satisfy their vanity. Whatever the purpose of these assassinations, they have had a significant impact on the course of history.

Historically, the Assassin industry has always existed for some rich and powerful people, known as "doormen", but they have their own beliefs.

In modern times, some Assassin orders are rarely heard. But in the island country, there is still a profession similar to that of the assassin, that is, the ninja, although the ninja in the island country is not much different from the assassin, but the method is a bit despicable, and some of the methods are terrible.

Some other Western countries have assassins and other departments, such as the National Intelligence Service of Country M, the National Security Council of the Soviet Union, and the Special Mission Bureau of Israel and so on. Certain terrorist organizations also train assassins who specialize in assassinating and murdering leaders and other dignitaries.

It is said that there is an assassin organization in China that has been handed down since ancient times, which originated in the Warring States period, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and declined in the anti-Japanese period.

Thorn Qin is just one of them. This sect has three non-acceptances, that is, to accept the task, and one of these three conditions is not accepted, because this sect has a great sense of justice, the so-called three non-acceptance: one is that children do not accept, the second is that they do not accept the pregnancy in March, and the third is that beggars do not accept.

But there are four must-kill, as long as you reach any of them, as long as you are found to have violated any of them without giving money, you will also receive it: one: the most evil will be killed, two: those who are rich and unkind must be killed, three: those who are well-dressed and beastly must be killed, four: those who are mediocre and unscrupulous must be killed, the first three are for landlords, or ordinary people, and the last one is for politicians. Whether you return the official residence or the emperor, as long as you violate Article 4, you will be killed.

But in modern times, the rules still need to be changed, after all, times are different, and the rules are constantly changing.

But the only principle that this sect believes in is the way of a gentleman. In today's words, it is gentleman.

The people in this sect are all fair and honest gentlemen, and there is a way: gentlemen do something, and they don't do something, which is the door rule of this sect.

Because the assassin is originally mysterious, there is one of Li Baixia's guest lines: kill one person in ten steps, do not stay for thousands of miles, and go away with clothes, hiding merit and fame. This is the portrayal of the Assassin.

Later, not only why, but this sect was removed from the rivers and lakes overnight.

And the next story will start from a disciple named Ye Chu after the destruction of Yama Gate.

A.D. 2016, April 14 afternoon, Huaxia, Guangzhu International Airport

"Catch a thief," a woman suddenly shouted. At the same time, a man in a suit, holding a suitcase, and about one hundred and eighty years tall, looked in that direction, this man looked a little evil from his face, but he was handsome and angular. The figure matches the suit very well, as if the suit was specially designed for him.

The man in the suit saw a woman who was as good as any actress or even better than the actress chasing a man, and the woman looked like the little sister next door.

But because of the high heels on his feet, he couldn't catch up no matter how much he chased them.

This man is the thief, but the thief is a habitual offender at first glance, and he goes to a crowded place.

While running, don't forget to walk the things of the people next to you. Despite the people next to them. All of them flashed far away. But the thief was the same as before, and the woman shouted as she chased after her, but the people around her ignored her.

The man in the suit, seeing this scene, showed an evil smile and said silently: "Is the law and order in Huaxia so bad now? Human nature has degenerated to this extent, it is really sad."

With that, he stretched out a hand and threw something out, after which the thief screamed and fell to the ground. If you look closely, you can see that a one-dollar coin hit the thief's knee.

The man in the suit walked up to the thief and said, "Take out what you stole and you can leave a life, or tomorrow you will make headlines."

At this time, the woman who had been stolen also ran over and said, "Thank you, sir." The man in the suit ignored her, his eyes still fixed on the thief.

The thief had already stood up at this time and said: Who do you think you are, what are you doing, good dogs don't get in the way, you get out of the way.

But the man in the suit didn't pay attention to it, and said indifferently: Oh! Are you the wind in my ears when I am warned?

The thief said: You said that I stole something, what about the evidence, show the evidence! The man in the suit still said indifferently: I don't need evidence to do things, as long as I am happy. But I hate to be the one who takes my words as a deaf ear. So you do what I say.
