Chapter 1: The Clown
At midnight, Tokyo is still immersed in a world of drunkenness, and the light rain cannot extinguish the heat in people's hearts.
In the corner of the street, the largest ** place in the vicinity, the Kikuta House is still open for business, the huge neon signs are constantly shining, changing the extravagant colors in the misty night, the door is like a market, most of the people who come here to seek joy are white-collar workers and tourists from some companies, and a few strangely dressed girls are scattered near the street, from time to time, they turn their heads and ears, make an innocent and romantic look, they know that these old men eat this set.
On the fifth floor of the opposite building, there was an unlit window, and a black sniper rifle barrel was mounted on it, and the owner of the gun was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen, tall and straight, with a well-defined face with the characteristic toughness of Westerners, and a pair of slender eyes, full of melancholy, loneliness, decadence and confusion, just like this night.
Only when he aimed his scope at a woman in a red dress in the crowd, the cold eyes suddenly became hot, and the hard lines on his face became much softer, he knocked on the headset next to his ear, and said softly: "Red, can you hear my voice?" ”
"Please call me by my code name - Scorpion during the mission, thank you!"
"Okay, Red!"
"Please, clown, you're a killer, can you not tell such a lame joke?"
"Okay, Red."
"You shouldn't be a killer, you can go to the talent show."
"Yes, red ......"
The other side was silent for a while, then his breathing became a little unnatural, and he said, "Joker, do you really plan to retire after this time?" ”
"Yes......"
"Are you planning to do anything in the future? It's not easy to find a job in our business, I think you were born to eat in this business, and if you choose to leave, everyone feels sorry for you. ”
The killer, codenamed Joker, showed a beautiful arc at the corner of his mouth, and replied: "Besides, do you have any suggestions?" ”
"It's good to be a star, you can be regarded as versatile, so-so, it's just right to be a star."
"You can think about it...... You say it's a pity for everyone, but what about you? Will you miss me? ”
“……”
The 'clown' didn't get the answer he wanted, his hot eyes slowly dimmed, and he barely showed a smile, although he knew that the other party couldn't see it, but this was already a habit, the two of them were raised by the killer organization since childhood, and they had been together for nearly twenty years, he knew her heart, but he never complained about anything.
"I have a question I've always wanted to ask you, why do you keep using the code name Joker, your personality is not funny at all, and it is very ugly."
"I remember you saying when you were a kid that you liked to watch clowns perform the most......"
"Is that because of this? I was young then, and now we're both older. ”
"Yes, we're all older......"
At that time, you were only seven years old, you had just entered the training camp, you didn't understand anything, and you followed me pitifully all day long, and since then I have vowed to protect you for the rest of my life, and he didn't say the rest of the words, because his memory went back to the age of the devil's training, and he was only nine years old at that time, how could he have the courage to live, it was you who gave me hope!
"Attention! The target appeared, at three o'clock, and was driving into the street. Red's voice came from the headset.
The 'clown' turned his gun, and three black Mitsubishi sedans were slowly driving away, and the pedestrians on the road gave way, because everyone knew that the leader of the Japanese yakuza company was sitting in the car, and no one in this area dared to offend their authority.
Red pretended to be in a hurry, passing by the car, she was tall and tall, dressed fresh and elegant, so that the pedestrians on the road looked sideways, even the leader of the Kikuta Society sitting in the car, Kazuo Kawada, couldn't help but show an expression of appreciation, if it wasn't for the rush to negotiate with the Russians, such a stunner wouldn't let go of anything he said tonight. "Confirm that the target is on car number two."
The car drove to the door of Kikuta House and stopped, and several younger brothers who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly came to help the boss open the car door, "Hey! The younger brothers in black suits lined up in two rows and bent down to greet the boss.
Kazuo Kawada hesitantly adjusted the suit on his body, picked the long gray hair that fell in front of his forehead, got out of the car with a smile on his face, looked at the scale of his main store, and nodded with satisfaction.
Now is the time!
The 'Joker' calmly pulled the trigger, and the bullet pierced a distance of 100 meters, through the heads of the people on the road, through the cold rain curtain, and into Kazuo Kawada's forehead.
Suddenly the street was in chaos, Kazuo Kawada's younger brothers surrounded the boss in a panic, yelling, pulling out the pistols on their waists, and several people ran across the road towards the 'clown' building.
The 'Joker' disassembled the sniper rifle unhurriedly, with a relaxed face, such a task could not be easier for him.
A red voice came from the headset again, this time her voice was a little tired and hoarse, "Jun Yi, if you choose to stay, there is still a chance!" “
What do you mean?
Suddenly he saw red and blue car lights flashing at both ends of the street, how could the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department arrive at the scene so quickly? Assassination mission leaked?
The 'Joker' shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Scorpion, the mission has changed, evacuate quickly, repeat, the mission has changed, evacuate quickly......"
He suddenly stopped shouting, his mouth was a little dry, he almost didn't dare to believe his guess, and asked tentatively, "Red ...... Are you still there? ”
There was a cold silence on the other side, and there was no answer, and he was abandoned!
Jun Yi ran for his life along the stairs of the fire escape to the top of the building, this time the Metropolitan Police Department's reaction was so fast that he didn't have time to flee at all, several nearby streets were blocked, and the police surrounded the building, and he believed that there were also snipers hiding in some of the nearby tall buildings.
He threw the gun into the trash can in the hallway, and the gun had been with him a lot, just like his old buddy, and now it was abandoned like himself, lying with the dirty garbage.
He could already hear the sound of police walkie-talkies and guard boots rubbing against the stairs downstairs, and they were very close to him.
He was like a rat forced into a corner, with nowhere to escape, but he did not give up and continued to run down the corridor, he could almost foresee his fate, and the rooftop of the building would be his burial place.
He kicked open the rusty iron door, and the cold wind and rain poured in from outside, wetting his eyes. He rushed out and peered down at the edge of the rooftop, hoping to see the woman in red again.
She was nowhere to be found in the dense crowd, and his eager heart slowly cooled, and he looked up at the sky, laughing maniacally, letting the rain wet his body, accompanied by the warm liquid, slipping from the corners of his eyes.
At this time, a woman in a red dress appeared on the roof of the opposite building, and looked at him from a distance, and the rain became heavier and heavier, drenching her thin body, and she shivered in the heavy rain.
"Red, is that you?" Jun Yi said into the headset, his voice as gentle as ever, as if he had forgotten everything that happened around him.
"You idiot...... You idiot...... I warned you not to give up, why didn't you listen to me? "Red cried in the rain.
"Is it KING's order?"
Red raised his head, looked at him, and said with difficulty: "You know, he is also forced to do so, there are people behind him, and no organization is allowed to betray." ”
"You're still defending him at this time......"
"I ...... He took good care of us all the time! ”
Jun Yi heard that the policemen were getting closer and closer to him, and there was not much time left for him, he opened his mouth, showed a bright smile, took out a clown mask from under the windbreaker, put it on himself, looked at the woman in red opposite stupidly, and said affectionately: "I said, no matter what you do, I don't blame you, because ......"
The clown's mask is really ugly, with big red eyes, a big red nose, and a big red exaggerated smile, as if sadness, sadness and disappointment can never be seen on its face, it always smiles and welcomes people, but who knows the tears that fall under the mask.
This operation is an A-level arrest order issued by the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Department, and the target of the arrest is the extremely famous and murderous internationally wanted killer 'Joker', the United States has specially instructed that he must live, and the arrest operation went smoothly at the beginning, and everyone is optimistic about this operation.
But when the arresting team broke through the last iron gate and rushed to the rooftop, they saw the man in a black trench coat and a clown mask standing on the edge of the rooftop, with his hands outstretched, like a conductor of music, composing a moving movement with the sound of heaven and earth.
As they were about to rush forward for the official arrest, the internationally famous killer jumped downstairs.
The cold wind tore at his coat, and he was like a bat with spread wings, piercing through the rainy night, flying freely, and that strange smiling face seemed to be mocking the hypocrisy and cruelty of this world.
If the heart is dead, what is there to be nostalgic for in this world!
Red fell to her knees in the rain, howling and crying, watching her loved ones who had been with her since childhood leave her like this, her heart was cut to pieces, until this moment she seemed to understand what she had lost.
The clown gives orders, the action ends, and his stories and legends set off one craze after another in Tokyo.
