Chapter 1: Strange Mission
For half an hour, Gu Tian straightened up and sat at the table, like a serious child, and for half an hour he looked motionlessly at the old man who was happily cooking in the kitchen, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
The fragrance wafting from the kitchen and the delicacies placed in front of him made Gu Tian couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and he wanted to pick up the chopsticks and start to eat, but when he thought that there must be a demon when things happen, Gu Tian just endured it, don't look over, looked at the back of the kitchen in panic, and wondered what the old man was crazy about today.
Except when he was very young, the old man would cook for him, and it was the kind of medicinal food that was difficult to swallow at all, and after Gu Tian came back from learning art at the age of eight, the old man lost all the three meals a day at home to Gu Tian.
On weekdays, the old man has never been so kind to cook for him, even if it is his birthday, he only eats in the restaurant of Aunt Wang in the village commissary. Today, the old man not only cooked himself, but also made such a table of delicious food, which flattered Gu Tian, and at the same time, he also wondered in his heart whether his embezzlement of task remuneration was discovered by the old man, and he was going to poison himself to make himself suffer.
As for poisoning himself, Gu Tian wouldn't think so. Although he is an orphan picked up by the old man, and the two are not directly related, but the old man and the young have lived together for more than ten years, and the old man's feelings for him can still be felt by Gu Tian. Besides, with the old man's medical skills, unless it is an extremely rare and strange poison through the ages, I am afraid that there is no poison in the world that the old man cannot solve.
"Okay, Xiaotian, go and bring me the wine, I want to have a good drink tonight, old man, haha!" Kong Haijiang, the old man in Gu Tian's mouth, put the last dish on the table and said to Gu Tian, who was still in a daze.
"Bang dang", hearing the old man's voice, Gu Tian immediately jumped up from the stool like a fury, kept a certain distance from the old man, put his hands on his chest, and watched the old man's every move vigilantly.
After a few glances alternated, Gu Tian gritted his teeth and said stiffly: "Old man Kong, didn't I just embezzle the reward for some tasks, did you plot against me so carefully?" ”
Hearing this, Old Man Kong was slightly stunned, and then scolded with a smile: "What are you crazy about, do you think I won't know about your embezzlement and reward, but I will help you take the task!" Besides, are you kid worthy of me using food to plot against you? After that, Old Man Kong looked Gu Tian up and down, and the disdain in his eyes made Gu Tian very uncomfortable.
I'm also a new star in the killer world, okay, the mission success rate is 100%, and I have completed S-level tasks, are I so unbearable?
Gu Tian was very unhappy with Old Man Kong's beard that was about to reach the sky, and he also wanted to go up and beat him violently, but when he thought of Old Man Kong's terrifying skills, and the various scenes of being abused since he was a child, Gu Tian trembled and had to endure it.
Forget it, for the sake of you being an old man, Ben Shao will not be familiar with you. Gu Tian comforted himself, turned around and went to get the wine. The old man was right, he must know about his embezzlement, and he really didn't deserve the old man's calculations with food, and he would just beat himself up and it would be over.
Sitting back at the table, Gu Tian poured a glass of wine for the old man, but he poured a glass of boiled water, and looked at the old man Kong, as if he wanted to see through what the old man Kong was sick with.
The reason why he pours himself boiled water instead of wine is also the old man's rule. The reason is because on Gu Tian's birthday in a certain year, the old man insisted on letting him drink, but the old man himself was drunk and unconscious, but Gu Tian didn't have anything to do.
In the words of the old man, it is better to drink water by drinking by yourself, anyway, it is the same taste, and it saves money. Gu Tian also deeply agrees with this, and he himself does not like to drink.
Old man Kong didn't have so many worries in Gu Tian, after smelling the aroma of wine, he was like a drunkard who was addicted to alcohol, and he picked up the cup and drank it by himself.
After the old man had eaten almost every dish, Gu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the old man didn't mean to poison himself, but he thought too much. Touching his hungry belly, Gu Tian couldn't care so much, and began to eat nonsense.
After some turmoil, Gu Tian touched his stomach and smacked his lips with satisfaction, as if he was still reminiscing about the old man's craftsmanship. Indeed, Old Man Kong's skills are very unusual, and he has the skills of a five-star hotel chef under the old man's training, and the old man is naturally more awesome.
Well? Wrong! Suddenly, Gu Tian seemed to realize something, and looked at Old Man Kong, only to see that the latter was just looking at him with a light smile, and there was actually a trace of obvious love in his eyes!
This must be crazy! Gu Tian felt that he must be dreaming, or the old man was crazy! The old man would actually show a caring look, if he was in normal times, he would have robbed him of his appetizers, it would be good if he didn't abuse himself, how could he still have such a demeanor today.
"Xiaotian, you're full, I'm going to get down to business with you when you're full." Gu Tian was about to make an embarrassing round of the game, but Old Man Kong spoke seriously first. And listening to the old man's tone and that serious look, Gu God knows, the point is here!
"I've got you covered!" After a long time, the old man drank the wine in his cup before he said slowly, "This may be your last mission!" ”
Hearing this, Gu Tian's heart couldn't help but tighten, is the task very dangerous? He had gone out to train with the martial arts master, and he had also spent a period of time on that extremely cruel island, although his strength was nothing in the eyes of Old Man Kong, but it should also be regarded as the top in the entire killer world. If you add the power you have on the island, you can eat the general S-level tasks. Besides, will Old Man Kong take on tasks that are far beyond his ability?
There must be something strange about this! Gu Tian measured it in his heart, but he didn't say anything on his face, staring at the old man tightly, looking forward to his next words.
"The task is related to your master, and it can also be said that your master arranged this task for you!" Seeing that Gu Tian did not speak, Old Man Kong continued, but his tone seemed to be a little sad.
"Whoosh~!"
Hearing Old Man Kong's words, Gu Tian stood up as if he was stimulated. "Master? Old man, have you seen Master, where has he gone, how is he doing? Gu Tian looked at Old Man Kong happily and asked.
Old Man Kong shook his head, and when he saw Gu Tian looking at him expectantly, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "I haven't seen your master, and I don't know where he went." This task was given by your master before leaving, and let me tell you when you are eighteen years old, today is your eighteenth birthday, and after today, you will go on that mission. ”
"Okay, I'll go!" Gu Tian agreed categorically, looked out the window, and the corners of his mouth hooked a shallow arc, after so many years, there is finally news from the master, although this is only arranged by the master ten years ago, but it is better to have a clue than to continue to be silent.
Gu Tian was adopted by Old Man Kong and his martial arts master since he was a child, Old Man Kong taught him medical skills to save people, and the martial arts master taught him all kinds of assassination, fighting skills, and how to survive. After some period of time, the martial arts master took Gu Tian to that cruel island * Yu for training.
And when Gu Tian was eight years old, he was sent back to Old Man Kong by that place, and he had no contact with the martial arts master from then on. Gu Tian is still very grateful to himself as a martial arts master, and he also swore that he must find him, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have his current self at all, and his own strength can be said to have been brought to him by the martial arts master.
It seems that he has long known Gu Tian's choice, Old Man Kong did not speak, just quietly poured himself full of wine, drank it one by one, and sometimes looked up at Gu Tian who was immersed in memories, and the emotions in his eyes were very complicated.
"That's it, Xiaotian, this child has also grown up, it's time to go out to experience and see the world, I can't let him live under his wings for the rest of his life, the little bird will have a day to soar in the sky." Old man Kong drank all the wine in the cup, and he also made up his mind in his heart.
"Xiaotian, this ring was also given to you by your master, and when we picked you up, you wore this ring around your neck." As he spoke, Old Man Kong took out a handkerchief from his arms, and after opening it, a simple ring lay quietly in the middle.
At this moment, Gu Tian felt that his exercises were involuntarily running, and subconsciously looked at the ring in Old Man Kong's hand, and for a while he was deeply immersed in it, stunned and motionless.
After a long time, under the inquiry of Old Man Kong, Gu Tianfang came back to his senses. took the ring and put it on his hand, but this time he was not as distracted as he was just now, it seems that it was just because this ring was related to his life experience, so he was a little out of shape, Gu Tian thought to himself.
"Old man, you should be practicing it for me tonight when you cook it yourself. Say, where is this mission going, Africa or Europe? After learning a clue from the master and eating the old man's meal for nothing, Gu Tian was naturally in a good mood at this time, and looked at the old man Kong angrily and asked, as if he had forgotten the danger of the old man's previous "last mission" that he had guessed.
Hearing this, Old Man Kong rolled his eyes, and secretly said that this guy is really nervous, and he bluffed him before, 'The mission is very dangerous', and this guy was still serious and nervous before, so he actually forgot about it after a while.
The plan to trick up the trick failed, and Old Man Kong was not in the mood to look at the rookie in front of him anymore, so he patted his clothes and stood up leisurely, and walked towards the room.
"You kid remember to wash the dishes and chopsticks, clean up the table, prepare to prepare, and send you to Jinnan City tomorrow, your task is like this." Old Man Kong's voice came slowly.
Jinnan City? Hearing this, Gu Tian was obviously stunned, obviously he didn't expect that this 'last mission' was not in those dangerous places in Africa and Europe, but in a domestic province and city. But then Gu Tian clenched his fists again, and the light in his eyes flashed.
"Jinnan City? As long as there is a clue from the master, even if it is purgatory on earth, I will go through it in ancient heaven! ”
