The Turning Gears Chapter Seventy-Five: The Lone Wolf

Martha looked nervously around on the plane, and beside her, her four companions looked around nervously, making eye contact with each other from time to time. And their commander, the young man who hadn't slept in days, was in the front seat of the plane, staring intently at a ring. His feverish and crazy look made Martha wonder if he was on the wrong boat, or if he had made the wrong rendezvous this time, as if he had entered some cult branch, and this feeling was really indescribably weird.

"Well, I said, should we introduce each other so that we can get to know each other, at least we're companions on this mission, don't we? I don't want to put my life in the hands of someone who doesn't know anything about it, so I'll start with myself?" said a black man on Martha's right, with a pair of shining eyes, and a row of neat white teeth when he smiled, and he really looked energetic and positive.

"I'm Marjorie Duncan, a freelance hunter and an occasional part-time exorcist, and I'm the creator of a haunted house crawler on YouTube, do any of you know me?" the black youth chattered to self-promotion, and before the old man and the other two could react, the girl exclaimed excitedly, "Ah! You're the YouTuber Van Helsing? Are you really a hunter of a mysterious world?"

The girl cried out in surprise, and before the black young man here had time to introduce himself, he heard Luo Mingkai, who was sitting in the front row, frowning dissatisfiedly: "I won't stop you from chatting and exchanging feelings, but please be quiet, I don't want to throw you off the plane in person, I only warn this time." ”

During the whole process, Luo Mingkai did not raise his head or look at the five people, but the cruel and crazy aura in his words still made the innocent girl stick out her tongue and close her mouth in fear.

"This commander seems to be very fierce, is the eight stars like this?" asked the girl in a low voice, she was afraid of being thrown off the plane, even if this threat was just a joke, but the commander had already asked for it, so they had to try to obey it.

"Ah, you young people don't know him. The old man had a helpless expression on his face, and when he said this, he kept glancing at Luo Mingkai in the front row with the peripheral vision of his eyes.

"Eh, old man, you seem to know him, come and introduce him, we know who we are listening to, what if he is a relation?"

"It's terrifying. When the old man heard the negro joking, he smiled bitterly and said, "He is the most dangerous supernumerary of the pilgrims, codenamed the True Knower." ”

"How come I've never heard of this code name?, and who is more powerful than Baxing?" asked the girl, interested, for there were many secrets or anecdotes among the pilgrims that she didn't know much about, and now was the time to learn them.

The old man glanced cautiously at the young man who was still looking at his ring, his eyes full of frenzy and excitement, and it seemed that he didn't care about the content of their conversation. So the old man whispered: "If you want to say which level is higher than him or the Eight Stars, I don't know this, but there are rumors that he could have succeeded the new generation of Variable Stars, but a few years ago, he tried to assassinate His Excellency Galahad, and was subdued and locked up by His Excellency Fenglong, who happened to be present at the time, and I didn't think that he would be released again now." ”

"Assassinate Galahad?" the girl heard the shocking news, she didn't think that there was such a dangerous person among the pilgrims who had assassinated His Excellency Galahad?

"Yes, he was originally a member of an Assassin Order, the same Wolf Order that was annihilated by the Pilgrims 10 years ago. The old man recalled.

"Wolves, wolves of shadows?" said Marjorie, an organization that was a nightmare for all occult people ten years ago, mysteriously beyond the reach of the Round Table, an Assassin organization that existed before the Rise of the Table.

Rumor has it that they only accept commissions, and as long as the price is right, they can take anyone's life, whether you are a president or a king, and if someone can afford your price, then you will never see the sun the next day. And this organization is very hidden, they recruit not only killers, but also wizards, and all the wizards they fancy will receive an invitation, and if you refuse, then they don't mind not taking money to do that.

Almost all the famous assassinations in history have no shadow of them. The earliest assassination they claimed responsibility for was the assassination of the Roman dictator Julie Caesar, so many speculate that the Assassin Order's predecessor dates back to the ancient Roman Republic. Romulus, the founder of Rome, is said to have been fed by she-wolves, an organization that calls itself a wolf, and the assassination of Caesar is nothing more than a revenge for the humans who stole the love of the she-wolf.

The group has coexisted in darkness and legend, no one knows who their members are or how they operate, but when they are judged to be a threat, this ancient group is not even able to resist the pilgrims of Galahad. Legend has it that within a year, the top of the Wolf Order was uprooted among the people in the mysterious world and even in the real world, and no one knows how Galahad had such detailed information, but this thousand-year-old organization was destroyed and ravaged by the Pilgrims, and countless Assassins were hunted down by the Hunting Department and the Obscurity Department. In the end, the Wolf Organ's temple was completely wiped out by 20 heavy-yield ground-penetrating bombs, which, of course, was nothing more than a mistake to the monument in the war-torn Middle East.

That year, all the wizards celebrated, and the nightmare was caught in the light by Galahad's thunderous methods, and the wizards discovered that the Assassins, whom they had feared for thousands of years, were nothing more than flesh and blood, and that they were even more vulnerable than ordinary wizards after their identities were revealed. Just as the Assassin Sect of the Old Man of the Mountain was crushed by the Mongols, the Wolf Order was hunted down by the Pilgrims for a year. Once again, it was proved that the title of the first armed organization of the Pilgrim Mysterious World was not in vain, and for a time the Round Table Council was in the limelight, and it was also from that year that the Round Table Council truly replaced the authority of the Ministry of Magic in the wizarding world.

But Marjorie didn't know what the Knower had to do with the Assassin Order that had been buried in the dirt.

"It is rumored that he is the reason why Galahad was able to exterminate the Wolf Order, he was also a member of the Wolf Order, and His Excellency Galahad gave the order to kill all the members of the Wolf Order, and only he was brought back from the battlefield. The old man said that the rumors he had learned, of course, the credibility of these rumors was extremely low, but they could also reflect the tip of the iceberg under the iron-blooded methods of some pilgrim organizations in disguise.

"No, I didn't say anything at the beginning, the wise man exterminated that group of scum by his own ability, what does it matter to me. Luo Mingkai said quietly from the front seat of the plane.

The five S-Class operators were silent at the same time, they didn't expect that their chats had been being listened to by this Knower. March Chinese

"Fool, what is the ability of the wise man is something you can guess, not so much that someone leaked secrets, but that the wolf organization was infiltrated by the pilgrims at that time, you think it was a massacre? No, the wolf organization's group of rotten trees has long been dead, and the battle 10 years ago was just a signal, a signal that the wolf could collect the body. He put away the ring, his bloodshot eyes open, and he first glanced at the five operators who were afraid to come out with contempt, and said, "That battle ended 10 years ago, but it began 60 years ago, the Wolf Order is a very secretive Assassin organization, and they pride themselves on their system of recruiting new people, they will choose qualified young people or people who have been famous for a long time, and send them invitations. Therefore, they feel that in this way, they can eliminate the existence of moles or undercover agents through precise investigation and training. But no one expected that the wise man's approach was that he spent 50 years sending the pilgrims into the wolf organization one by one. Of course, the excellent operators of the Pilgrim were also on the recruitment list of the Wolf Organization, but they never expected that the people they randomly selected were all timed bullets given to them by the wise men. Moreover, this plan has been carried out for two generations, a total of 50 years, and the Wolf Order still thinks that the pilgrims are nothing more than the same organizations they have seen before, full of loopholes, and can infiltrate at will. ”

"For fifty years they continued to recruit new blood from pilgrims and other organizations to train a new generation of wolves. But the self-proclaimed cunning wolves did not expect that they were met with an extremely patient hunter, and Galahad had his eye on the wolf organization when the pilgrims were just rising, and he used this long and inconspicuous way of infiltrating the wolf organization to develop and grow the pilgrims at the same time. The ridiculous thing is that the wolf organization still thinks that the wolves they have cultivated will be loyal to them, but they didn't expect that these wolves were Galahad's secret stakes from the beginning, and they didn't expect that Galahad would be able to lay out a half-century-long undercover plan. By the time the first generation of undercover pilgrims infiltrated into the wolf organization had become the top of the wolf organization, the organization was no longer a terrifying assassin under the iron wall and shadows, so in the last ten years, the pilgrims no longer sent undercover agents, and at this time, the first generation of undercover agents had already died, and they lived for nearly 50 years as pilgrims and wolves. Ironically, the Wolf Order thought that the Pilgrims were infiltrated from above by their wolves, but the Wise Man was a hunter with too much patience. ”

As soon as the gun rang out, while the old wolves were still asleep, their companions had already revealed the hunting knives that had been hidden for half a century, and their companions in the same wolf den instantly turned back into hunters. He sneered, in his opinion, the Wolf Organization was nothing more than a bunch of fools, who had been counted dead by Galahad.

"Sixty years of plan, fifty years of lurking?" The five foreign operators broke out in a cold sweat when they heard this, this plan is really unprovoked, if it is really arranged for such a long time period, then the first generation of undercover agents is absolutely impossible to show flaws, there is a joke called the police undercover for too long, shouting that if you don't close the net, you will become the leader. Fifty years later, how many of the old men and high-ranking members of the Wolf Organization were undercover pilgrims? No wonder the Wolf Organization would be wiped out in just one year, and the Pilgrims had been preparing for this battle for sixty years!

"Do you think that a wise man relied on an undercover agent or a piece of intelligence to win that battle......? You can't help but underestimate him as the world's wisest man. He glanced at the five agents present with disdain, he really didn't have a good impression of this kind of ignorant person, and always used his ignorant thinking logic to guess the thinking mode of the wise man, and he didn't know how many rumors about the wise man had been fabricated. Although these rumors were meant to praise Galahad, in Luo Mingkai's opinion, the Galahad in the jokes made up by this group of brainless guys was like a clown, and it was completely incomparable with the eclectic and majestic trend of the real Galahad.

The five operators were a little unhappy when he said this, they were all S-level operators, and they were full of confidence in their abilities, but at this moment, these bloodshot eyes looked at them like looking at five white and fat pigs.

"Instead of having time to talk about these things here, it's better to think about how you are going to carry out this mission in the future. Luo Mingkai frowned, the attitude of these five people made him very unhappy, if it wasn't for Galahad's request, he would want to sell these five people somewhere now. Luo Mingkai doesn't feel that he is Galahad's subordinate, he should be Galahad's opponent, and this kind of task is his game with Galahad, all the conditions are just the restrictions that Galahad put forward to him to increase the difficulty, this is a game, if he can't pass the level perfectly, then what qualifications does he have to be Galahad's opponent. "Hmph, sharing the glory of the wise, I don't see that you pilgrims are worthy of the status of the wise man's subordinates, and when I control the pilgrims, you are just a group of vampires, blood-sucking parasites clinging to the pilgrims created by the wise man. Since you're a parasite, you have to think about what you can do, instead of sucking blood and being complacent about your abilities, understand?

The five of them were choked speechless by Yu Mingkai's domineering speech, they had never heard of the Pilgrim and such a bad commander, and they were still trying to endure it, and they didn't want to have a dispute with the person in charge of this mission.

He glanced at the five people who were silent, a cold light of contempt flashed in his blood-red eyes, and he sat back in his seat, playing with the ring.

"I can't stand it anymore! What are you? We didn't mess with you, why?" said Marjorie's expression, and the black man jerked up from his seat like an angry wild dog.

"Patience, young man!" said the old man, seeing that Marjorie was so impulsive, but Marjorie was obviously a young and vigorous man, and at such times he had committed the great taboo of pilgrims, that is, he must not quarrel with the commander during the mission.

"Oh, do the Negroes feel that they can do whatever it takes to hold high the banner of color discrimination? That's what I'm talking about, you waste, how can you be qualified to be the subordinates of the wise, ......hum," Luo Mingkai snorted, his attitude became more and more arrogant, "If you can't even accept this fact, then forget it, the wise man still feels the need to assign me five of his so-called S-class operators? ”

"Forget it, forget it, what's the point of talking to you guys?" In the surprised eyes of the five operators, Luo Mingkai walked to the door of the plane. "If it weren't for the words in the first place, I really wanted to kill all five of you, but at this time, forget it, a promise is a promise, although the five of you are not the same, but I always have to give the wise a little face. You just stay on this plane, you can return to China when the plane lands, and then proudly report that the task has been completed~ It's easy, right, you're welcome, I never have any expectations for waste. It's as ugly as your resume. ”

He glanced at his watch, and then the bloodshot young man waved his hand to the people on the plane, "It's time, see you back, waste." ”

As soon as the words fell, the figure of the young man disappeared from the cabin.

"Flash!" the old man said in alarm, and only then did the five operators react, hurrying to the window next to the hatch, only to see a faint figure with open arms in the airspace just now, doing a freefall movement.

"What a madman!" Marjorie didn't know what was going on, because he had an argument with the commander, so the commander jumped out of the plane and committed suicide.

"Please don't panic, Operators, we have received orders from His Excellency the Knower, as long as the five Operators stay on the plane, and when the plane lands, the mission of the five will be completed, and the reward will be paid to your account. At this moment, a mechanical beep sounded in the cabin of the plane.

"Alas, it's the rumored lone wolf, he was going to go it alone from the beginning. The old man smiled bitterly.

"What lone wolf?" Marjorie asked, confused, for in his opinion, he was a complete lunatic.

"A hungry wolf who has lost a pack of wolves is still a wolf, and a wolf will only walk with his fellow wolf, and will only regard the best hunters as opponents. The old man smiled helplessly and sat back in his seat. "Okay guys, our mission has been completed, be happy, the next thing has nothing to do with us, this time the reward is enough for me to buy a new hearing aid, and I can also refurbish my classic car, and pay two years of tuition for my grandson......" The old man sat back in his seat, although he said so, but the old face was still full of loss, and he could only muttered about how to use the reward for this mission after he got it.

"I want to buy a new musical instrument set~" The girl picked up the topic quickly, but halfway through the conversation, all five of them sighed at the same time. What Luo Mingkai said was so hurtful, the five of them couldn't be happy, they knew that although the task had been "completed", it was destined to be a shameful experience in life.
