Chapter 42: Born in the Darkness, Died in the Night

It was close to one o'clock in the morning, on a main road less than two kilometers away from the Palace of the God of War, an unusually old-looking container truck slowly stopped on the side of the road.

The co-pilot's door opened, and a middle-aged man who looked to be close to fifty years old jumped out of the car, watching the traffic on the road in a daze.

The man is about 1.7 meters tall, and his figure is very thin, he looks particularly inconspicuous, he is wearing a somewhat dirty dark blue overalls, the chest of the overalls, and the words "swift logistics" are stained with a lot of stains, the man looked at the side of the road, and was silent for nearly five minutes, before he sighed deeply and walked to a 24-hour unmanned store not far from the roadside.

Under the light, the color of his hair was extremely mottled, and the white hair hidden in the black hair was messy, with the wind and fatigue on his face, he was completely an ordinary person who lacked qi and blood and had hidden diseases, but had to struggle hard to live.

It was late at night, and it was quiet in the store.

The man with a face full of vicissitudes came straight to the cigarette counter, looking at the dazzling array of cigarettes in front of him, his eyes were blank.

Yellow Crane Tower, Yuxi, Zhonghua, Suyan, Huangshan, Great Hall of the People, Hongta Mountain...

High-end, mid-range, and low-grade cigarettes are quite complete, and there are also some foreign cigarettes with English letters printed on the cigarette packs.

The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth showed a wry smile and self-deprecation.

Most of the cigarettes here were something he had never seen in his nearly fifty years of life, let alone seen or even heard of them.

In his impression, the Yellow Mountain, the Yellow Crane Tower, and the Great Hall of the People are all place names or scenic spots, and they have nothing to do with cigarettes at all.

Among the dozens of cigarettes, he had only seen two, one was Chinese and the other was Hongtashan.

He has seen others smoke the former, and the latter is smoked by themselves on weekdays.

In their place, the people who are in charge of their daily life and even control their life and death on weekdays are all Chinese.

At this moment, looking at the neatly arranged cigarettes in the counter, he suddenly wanted to try them and see what the taste was different.

The middle-aged man touched his pocket and took out a large handful of 100 yuan directly from his pocket, and roughly counted it, there were at least a few thousand yuan.

Looking down at the money in his hand, his smile became more and more self-deprecating.

This kind of thing in this country, the thing called the renminbi in this city, is the first time he has seen it as a person who has grown up in this country and lived for almost 50 years.

How ironic?

And that's not even the most ironic.

After living for more than forty years, the first time I saw money, and the last time I picked up money, this is the most ironic.

The middle-aged man's smile became more and more sad, he stretched out his hand suddenly, and smashed his fist on the counter in front of him, under the impact of huge force, the solid and heavy counter was shattered into pieces in an instant, and countless cigarettes fell to the ground, looking messy among a large pile of broken glass.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, threw the money in his hand to the ground, picked up a few boxes of pleasing cigarettes and put them in his pocket, and then walked out slowly and got back into the passenger seat of the container truck on the side of the road.

In the driver's seat of the truck, a young man who looked younger was sitting in the seat, holding the steering wheel with both hands unconsciously, looking out of the brightly lit window in a daze.

The middle-aged man closed the car door, escaped the cigarettes in his pocket, opened a baffle next to the seat, threw two of the boxes directly into the container in the back, and then handed a box to the young man in the driver's seat, grinned and said: "How about tasting the taste, there are too many cigarettes in it, I am dazzled to see it, so I simply took some more, come and try it, and see what the cigarettes smoked by those big people usually taste." ”

"What kind of big shots are they?"

The young man looked calm, took the cigarette and tore open the package, took out one and lit it, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "They raised us like dogs, and they thought they were superior to us, but in fact, in the eyes of the real big people, they are also dogs, even worse than us, what kind of big people can they be?"

The middle-aged man continued to laugh, his smile was a little emotional, a little sad, a little reluctant, but more than that, it was a kind of helplessness that bordered on despair.

The young man in the driver's seat took a deep breath of cigarette, stretched out his hand, and pointed in the direction of the God of War Palace, in the night, the landmark building of the God of War Palace, the black dragon with a height of nearly two hundred meters was a little blurry, but the outline was extremely clear, the position of the head dragon's eyes, the two points of red light looked particularly domineering, many people know that the dragon eye of the black dragon is the two largest glasses in the war hall, one is in the master bedroom of the war hall, and the other is in the small living room, the young man's eyes stared at the dragon's eyes, and continued: " I specially learned about this city before I came, more than 80 percent, or even 90 percent of the people are working hard for a house with an area of only tens or hundreds of square meters, but the owner of this place lives alone in a private garden covering an area of nearly 700,000 square meters, guarding thousands, heavily guarded, and the husband should be like this. ”

The middle-aged man was smoking, still laughing, he had never been good at talking, and this was the case on their own turf, but now that he was here for the first time, he was nervous and speechless.

"I heard that the scenery inside is picturesque, there are mountains and rivers, flowers and grasses, the pavilions and pavilions are extremely exquisite, and the vast palaces are continuous..."

The young man looked seriously at the direction of the God of War Palace, as if he was trying to imagine what it would look like in the palace: "I really want to go in and have a look, it's good to take a look." ”

"I think it's very beautiful here, why bother going in? There are so many people in such a big garden, but there is only one master, and there is only one person, what is so good?"

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

The young man was slightly stunned, then nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "That's right, this place is also beautiful, at least compared to where we live, this place is much better, if I can stay here, I would like to live in the garbage heap." ”

He shook his head self-deprecatingly: "It's a pity. ”

"Nothing to be sorry about. ”

The middle-aged man smiled: "Although we can't live, our relatives can come, and they don't live in the garbage heap, which is already a good ending." ”

The young man did not speak, smoking hard, and the atmosphere in the car became extremely depressing.

The phone rang suddenly.

The bodies of the two people in the car shook at the same time.

"You pick up. ”

The middle-aged man hesitated and said with a wry smile.

The young man's expression remained the same, he nodded, picked up the mobile phone handed by the middle-aged man and connected it.

Don't wait for him to speak.

An incomparably cold and indifferent voice had already been heard through the phone.

"Five, are you in place?"

"It's here, it's ready. ”

The young man said in a steady tone.

"Five?"

Hearing the young man's voice, the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became deeper and lower, and he was very unhappy: "What about No. 3? What the hell is he doing?!"

"No. 3 is doing pre-war mobilization, and we will do our best. ”

The young man known as No. 5 said lightly.

"Good. ”

On the phone, the extremely indifferent voice fell silent, and said coldly: "Lin Xuanyuan has already set off two minutes ago, and will probably pass by your location in ten minutes, twenty vehicles, three helicopters escort, in addition, the criminal department and the military are also ready to support at any time, I will find a way to transfer away some of the people closest to you, but it won't be too long, under the suppression of the other party's firepower, you only have ten minutes of action at most, remember, kill Lin Xuanyuan, unscrupulous means, do whatever it takes!"

"Okay. ”

Five took a deep breath.

"Smack. ”

The other party didn't say a word, and hung up the phone directly, just like he just said to No. 3, in the place where they came, those dogs who were actually dogs, but they were big names in the eyes of No. 3, and treated them as dogs, without the slightest respect.

Over the years, it seems that even they have become accustomed to it.

No. 5 silently put down the phone, took out the mobile phone card, crushed it into powder with his fingers little by little, and threw it out of the window.

Number Three quietly watched Number Five's movements, his face pale.

No. 5's movements were methodical, and after destroying the mobile phone card, he took out a small bottle from his pocket and poured two black and gloomy pills directly from it.

He handed one of them to the pale-faced No. 3, and smiled: "Lin Xuanyuan is coming soon, let's eat, I wish us all the best along the way." ”

The Empire's secret service system is in turmoil.

The war is current.

At such a sensitive moment, assassinating Lin Xuanyuan, who had just made a peerless contribution to the empire, would cause serious consequences after the matter was exposed, even a fool could understand.

So this operation, whether it wins or loses, the end of these executors of them has been doomed from the beginning.

Number Three stretched out his hand and took the dark and gloomy pill in his hand, his palms trembling slightly.

Number Five smiled, took a deep look at the pill in his hand, and put it directly into his mouth without hesitation.

The pill melted in the mouth, with a strange fishy smell, flowing directly into the stomach.

"It tastes good. ”

He said with a smile, but his eyes were cold.

No. 3 sighed softly, and without hesitation, he also ate the pill in his mouth in one bite.

Five laughed and lit a cigarette again, inhaling greedily, as if trying to incorporate the taste into his soul.

A cigarette was quickly smoked.

No. 5 took a deep breath, directly threw the cigarette butt in his hand out of the window, turned around, looked at No. 3, who was still staring at the scenery outside the window, suddenly stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Officially introduce yourself, Shake the Light Lake, Gu Shuangjian." ”

This is undoubtedly the true origin and name of the Five.

This is also the most important thing for a martial artist.

But in the place where he came, these things were the least important, no one cared where they came from, all they had was code names.

Shake the light lake, the ancient double sword?

Illustrious origin, super high strength, there, a number five, it is enough to summarize.

No. 3 was stunned, and subconsciously held No. 5's hand, but in the next moment, his face turned red suddenly.

Because of this moment, he suddenly realized an extremely serious problem.

He entered that place more than ten years before the Five, and after many years of confusion, he forgot his name, and he couldn't even remember the origin of what he valued most for a while.

He's number three.

It seems to have been number three all along.

Gu Shuangjian tightly held No. 3's violently trembling hand, looking at the humiliation that instantly appeared in his eyes, and his smile was bitter.

"Tianxuan Leader..."

No. 5 was silent for nearly half a minute before he said with great difficulty: "Ling... Ling Guangming. ”

Ling Guangming.

Light.

Gu Shuangjian wanted to laugh, but his throat was blocked, and he couldn't even make a sound.

They were born in darkness and are dying in the night.

Light?

Where does the light come from?
