On the balcony on the seventeenth floor of the Usain Plaza Hotel, a thin figure leans against the fence, smoking a cigarette comfortably, feeling the hustle and bustle of the city.

Even though it's midnight, the taillights of the cars on the main street are still connected to a dazzling red line, and people who are used to city life may think that this is a beautiful sight, but in Zhang Shun's eyes, it is more like a hideous wound - nearly ten years of mercenary career has made him a little disgusted with all red strips. It's not easy to be a mercenary, especially a mercenary with poor physical fitness like him.

The cigarette mixed with the cold air was inhaled into his lungs, and all the sleepiness and tiredness were dispelled, Zhang Shun liked this feeling very much, he was naked, so comfortable that he almost hummed.

"If you-dare to come back, I'll kick your balls!" Recalling the words of the deputy leader of the mercenary team when he left from aitaechchaab, Zhang Shun felt that he was in a strange mood, this sentence was so straightforward that it made people break out in a cold sweat, but the meaning of concern in it was also very clear.

To go back or not to go back? The question haunted him for days. If you don't go back, the casualty rate of the mercenary team will definitely increase greatly; If he returned, he would have to face the ever-present danger, and although he had an ability that would ensure that he would not die in most cases, if he was in a coma due to a head injury, this small life would probably not be saved.

Exhaling the stuffy breath in his chest and the cigarette together, Zhang Shun turned around and walked into the room.

There are no lights in the room, all the light sources come from a wall-mounted LCD TV, and the constantly changing colors fill the whole room, and also illuminate the alluring ** on the bed.

The weather was a bit sweltering, the person on the bed was naked, although only a thin sheet was covered, most of her body was still exposed, and she lay on her side, the junction of her waist and hips formed a cliff, which was thrillingly steep.

Probably awakened by the cool breeze brought by Zhang Shun when she entered the door, she sat up in a daze and opened her eyes, a pair of big Shuiwanwan eyes only blinked a few times before the whole person was completely awake. She smiled at Zhang Shun charmingly, a slight flush appeared on her slightly tired face, as if she was shy, but after leaning over and picking up the clothes from the bedside, she wore them unhurriedly, smearing the spring light and blooming like flowers.

After she was dressed neatly, Zhang Shun pointed to an old, sturdy shoulder bag in the corner, and the woman walked over obediently, carefully took out a bundle of banknotes from the backpack, counted a few and put the rest back. Turning around to pick up her bag, she handed Zhang Shun a cigarette, made a gesture to make a phone call, gently opened the door and walked out, and the two never talked to each other.

Zhang Shun lit a cigarette, got dressed, put on his backpack, walked to the balcony again, and naturally leaned on the fence and jumped out of the balcony.

He loved the feeling of falling from a height, especially when he was head-to-toe and watched the ground get closer and closer to him. It has nothing to do with thrill-seeking, it has nothing to do with the dream of flying, it probably has a little to do with "wind" and "freedom", but it's only a little bit.

It only took a few seconds to fall from the seventeenth floor to the second floor, and Zhang Shun's face was less than ten meters away from the ground, and at this moment, his body suddenly froze, turned into a cloud of black mist and dispersed, and quickly dissipated into the air.

After the black smoke cleared, on the ground, several of the same black mist were entangled and fused together, and after gradually condensing into a human figure, Zhang Shun whistled and walked out of the black fog.

It was a small garden at the back of the hotel, deserted, except for a few dim Tibetan lamps still lit, which looked a little eerie. Because of this, Zhang Shun was so frightened by the sudden sound of words that he almost jumped up.

"Fog Raven, I need your abilities." The voice comes from one of the darkest corners, pure English, with a strong Australian accent.

Zhang Shun stopped, raised his hands at his side, and slowly turned towards the corner.

Out of the darkness came a handsome young man, about twenty-five or six years old, with a very strong body, with a staggered and messy beard, and his hair was like a bird's nest that had survived a storm, as if he had never been combed, and his clothes were dirty and torn, like a vagabond. However, this person's eyes are very special, full of wild surnames, faintly reflecting a faint green light like a leopard's eyes, and exuding a dangerous aura all over his body.

The young man walked very close to Zhang Shun and stared at him with no expression on his face, like a cheetah curious about its own kind.

Zhang Shun hadn't seen this person, but he was sure that he wasn't an ordinary person, because "Fog Raven" was his name for his ability, and it was also his nickname in the world of ability.

"Who are you?" Zhang Shun asked a little dazedly, what is the matter with the need for ability? A new way to create an employment relationship?

"Fatty." The young man gave a very brief introduction to himself.

After hearing the word "fat", Zhang Shun made a move without hesitation, he put the five fingers of his left hand together and inserted the sword into the opponent's eyes, and his right hand reached for the dagger in his arms, and at the same time his knee was pushed against the young man's crotch.

"Fat" Cooper, a legend in the world of supernatural abilities, synonymous with danger. Legend has it that he was raised by wild beasts in the primeval forests of Australia, and suddenly appeared three years ago and roamed the world with animal-like behavior, because there are only two kinds of human beings in his eyes - prey and hunters.

So far, none of the prey targeted by the "fat man" has been able to escape.

Zhang Shun didn't know why he became the prey, since the other party hit his idea of ability, then he had to resist, and the reason why he shot so decisively and ruthlessly was because of the ability of "Fat Man" - Fat Man is heavy, gravity can affect time, and Cooper's ability is to slow down time.

There are no classifications of abilities, there are five categories of "body", "mind", "control", "universe", and "universe", which may be called different in foreign countries, but the classification is the same. "Body" is an ability that indicates the change of the body, and Zhang Shun's "Fog Raven" is in this category; "Heart" is an ability that can affect one's own or other people's brains; "Control" refers to the control of substances or objects, including the human body other than the brain; "Universe" is a space-like ability; "Celestial" is a temporal ability.

Although it is not classified, everyone understands that the "Celestial" type ability that can control time is much more powerful than the other four categories, and the person with the "Celestial" type ability is the royal family of the ability world, and the "body" type of ability is not even a commoner, probably the level of a poor person.

Although it was very close, Cooper did not look a little panicked when he saw Zhang Shun's move, he still did not have any expression, and walked behind Zhang Shun leisurely. At this time, Zhang Shun's movements had turned into slow motion in his eyes, and even the sound of car horns from a distance had become low and deep, as if someone was playing an Alpine trombone.

The slowdown of time does not affect Cooper himself, so his movements are incredibly fast in Zhang Shun's eyes, and only an afterimage can be seen.

The enemy disappeared, and Zhang Shun immediately used the ability of "Fog Raven", and his body suddenly became blurry, and it completely turned into black mist in the blink of an eye.

However, this was the moment Cooper was waiting for, and he raised his left hand and slowly reached into the black mist in front of him.

***

When he opened his eyes, Zhang Shun found himself lying naked in a small alley, with a puddle of vomit in front of him, and a full garbage room in the alley was emitting a foul smell.

Everything in front of him was so familiar, ten years ago, when he was completely atomized for the first time, he woke up and saw the same scene, and smelled like this. At the time, he was still unfamiliar with the ability to control it, and after the atomization, the clothes could not be re-condensed, and the person passed out.

After the dizziness disappeared, the first word that Zhang Shun could think of was rebirth.

Squatting on the ground like the T-800 in "The Terminator", he began to think about the possible name of rebirth, the shape of the vomit, the overflow of the garbage room, the position in which he had previously been lying on the ground...... Everything was exactly the same as it was ten years ago, until he found a cardboard box to put on his body, and asked for an old dress, a pair of torn pants and a pair of old sneakers two sizes larger with the excuse of "caught in bed and ran out naked", that he finally confirmed that he was really back ten years ago.

Zhang Shun is no stranger to rebirth. After every use of the "Fog Raven", Zhang Shun's body will return to the present, that is, the state he was in when he was twenty-two years old, no matter how many injuries he suffers, as long as he uses one ability, he can recover immediately, and his body has always been very thin This is also the reason - no matter how much he exercises, all his efforts will be in vain after fogging. This should be considered a rebirth, the only difference is that this time the atomization is related to time.

After getting dressed, he used an ability and nothing happened, and although it was unknown if Cooper actually got the "Fog Raven", Zhang Shun was sure that he had lost his ability, thankfully that there were no parts missing from his body, and his eggs were definitely saved.

There are no abilities, and the education level is probably only at the level of elementary school graduation; There are no deposits, and those accounts in the Cayman Islands have not been opened at all; Nothing, except for killing people, there is no skill at all, but unfortunately being able to kill does not mean that you can be a killer, and there is no way.

Now Flawless is sad about the loss of his ability, Zhang Shun is not the kind of person who complains, the matter has come to this, there is no room for recovery, and he now has to face the most important problem of how to fill his stomach.

Walking on the street, surrounded by strange eyes, beggars love to squat, homeless people carry countless household goods, and people like Zhang Shun, who are empty-handed and dressed in tatters, are usually associated with the word "madman", but unfortunately he can't care so much anymore, because his stomach has begun to get hungry.

Looking around, Zhang Shun dreamed of finding something that would allow him to be a hero and save the beauty...... The worst thing has to be a matter of righteousness and bravery, so that he may be able to eat a meal, but the emergency has not yet been found, but a red A4 paper on a wall across the street has attracted his attention, the paper is extremely bright red, as if covered with a halo.

None of the pedestrians around were interested in the strange red paper, could it be that only they could see it? Curiosity drove Zhang Shun to walk across the street and read the words written on the red paper:

"Wufu Inn

Recruit one person (security guard, bodyguard, nanny)

No five insurances and one housing fund, no weekends and holidays

Room and board, salary at will"

The characters are written in very beautiful thin gold script, and the difference in font size suggests that they are handwritten rather than printed, with a curved arrow drawn at the bottom of the paper.

Zhang Shun thinks that such a beautiful word should be able to exchange for two steamed buns, I heard that there are many college students who sell vegetables and practice stalls, maybe you can meet someone who loves words. With the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, he looked at the two ends and no one was paying attention to him, and quickly removed the red paper from the wall, carefully folded it, and stuffed it into his butt pocket - this was the only pocket in his body that had no holes.

Although the steamed buns were still in Comrade Xue Ding's bowl, he felt more or less confident in his heart, and Zhang Shun walked to the direction pointed by the arrow on the corner of the street.

It is a street that seems to have been shrunk, with the driveway only about two minibuses running in parallel, and the sidewalk on the side of the road is only one meter wide.

Not far away, two middle school girls stretched out their arms and scratched their heads to play with their mobile phones, and above their heads was a signboard, a very simple wooden sign, with an abstract dragon in the shape of a water droplet drawn in front of them...... It could also be an earthworm, with the eye-catching words "Wufu Inn" engraved on the back, like the logo on the door of a weapon shop or prop shop in an RPG game.

Zhang Shun stepped forward and found that the two female junior high school students were taking pictures inside the gate of the Wufu Inn, to be precise, while taking pictures, they were flattering, and the person standing in the door was actually a monk wearing a big red robe.

The monk's appearance is extremely handsome, his facial features are so beautiful that he does not look like a real person, but there is no trace of femininity, the only regret is that his half-open eyes are lifeless, and his pupils seem to be covered by a layer of white mist, as if he is a blind man.

The monk stood motionless at the door, as if a monk had settled down, unmoved by the two junior high school students. It wasn't until Zhang Shun walked into the line of sight that he suddenly "lived", showed a lazy smile, looked at Zhang Shun and asked; "Do you want to stay in the hotel? Inside, please. After finishing speaking, he rolled up his big sleeves as if he was going to beat someone, revealing the wine gourd in his left hand, he pulled off the wooden cork and drank a few sips, and breathed a long sigh of relief with satisfaction, and spewed out a strong smell of wine.

As soon as the wine was drunk, the monk's pupils suddenly "opened and fogged away", and they lit up like this, but unfortunately they didn't last long before they became like dead fish again.

The monk's appearance after drinking caused the two junior high school students to scream, but it sounded like they were moaning or crying.

From the monk's words, Zhang Shun could hear that this guy was not standing here to make a fortune or play any performance art, but to be a doorman - generally doormen are in pairs, but with the image of a monk, I am afraid that there will be no pair in the world.

Zhang Shun wanted to take out the red paper in his butt pocket, but he was afraid that the other party would ask him back, so he had to say dryly: "I am ...... If you came to apply, I heard that there is a recruitment here...... That one...... Three guarantees? ”

The monk grabbed the wine gourd with one hand, and saluted Zhang Shun with the other hand, and said, "Then we will be colleagues in the future, please take care of us." There was joy in his tone.

Zhang Shun thought to himself, these eight characters haven't been skimmed yet! Is it a colleague who has to say something else, but seeing the monk's happy appearance, and not wanting to spoil the other party's interest, he didn't say this, just nodded and walked into the inn lobby.

The lobby of Wufu Inn is not worthy of its name, only more than ten meters flat, and it can be regarded as a living room at most. On the right side of the lobby, there is a reception desk with black buoy, which looks like a large coffin that has been deformed, and the reception desk is a corridor inside; Directly opposite the door there was a staircase and a corridor, at the end of which sunlight and some plants could be faintly seen, which should lead to the inner courtyard; On the left side is an old three-seater sofa with a wooden table in front of it, a very lush fortune tree on one side of the sofa, and an aisle on the other side.

As soon as Zhang Shun entered the door, he saw a person standing on the sofa, hiding behind the fortune tree and taking a picture of a small window with his mobile phone, and the target was the two female junior high school students who had been reluctant to leave for a long time.

Wearing a yellow scarf and a stained cyan robe, this man was extremely sloppy, his appearance was obscene and ugly, and his two eyebrows formed a standard "eight", which looked extremely aggrieved, forming a strong contrast with the image of the doorman monk. The Taoist priest's expression was extremely serious and extremely focused, as if he was defusing a big bomb that could destroy the whole world, and people would be anxious when they saw it, for fear that he would not be able to complete the "arduous" task of taking pictures with his mobile phone.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Shun played the role of cicada, praying mantis and yellow finch and allusions, he did not disturb the "important work" of the Taoist priest, and walked straight to the reception desk.

The reception desk exuded a chilly air, and the closer you got to it, the colder it became—a coldness from the heart.

In the reception desk sat a short and fat man, whose proportions looked very strange: his head was as big as a bucket, but his facial features were tightly packed together; The thick, short neck was blocked by the head, making it seem as if the huge head was resting directly on the shoulder; The hair fell out to a small lock on the back of the head, but there were two "blocks" of very conspicuous, extremely thick eyebrows, which looked like two black door panels.

This man is lying on the inner platform carefully counting the pile of coins in front of him, his arms and fingers are short and thick, it is impossible to touch the top of his head, it is probably very difficult to pick out his ears, the smallest face value of the pile of coins in front of him is one cent, the largest is five cents, and the pile of coins in Baihuahua is estimated to be less than a dollar, but he counted it very carefully, one by one on the table, it seems that the sky falls and does not care.

Zhang Shun stood in front of the reception desk for a long time, waiting until his stomach was about to start calling the strange people, but he only counted less than half, and in desperation, he had to cough lightly.

However, a light cough that was not abrupt caused the stranger's dissatisfaction, and his goldfish-like bulging eyes rolled up, revealing a pair of black bean-like pupils, and asked Zhang Shun impatiently: "Hit the point?" ”

Zhang Shunleng paused, and after reacting to the meaning of "sharpening", he shook his head and said, "Apply for the job." ”

The strange man clenched his right hand into a fist, and poked his thumb at the passage next to him, Zhang Shun hurriedly thanked him and walked quickly through it.

After passing by a toilet for men and a woman and a tool room for brooms and mops, Zhang Shun came to the door with the words "Manager's Office" on it, and the title of manager made him feel better—monk, Taoist, eccentric, and sharp...... Zhang Shun almost thought that he was not reborn, but traveled back to ancient times.

There was a knock on the door of the manager's office, and there was an answer of "come in". Zhang Shun pushed the door in, only to feel that this office was also a tool room, all the furnishings in it were two chairs and a table, not even a filing cabinet, but these three things had already occupied the office full of files, and at most a small bench could be placed.

Behind the desk sat a ten-year-old child, lying on the table writing something, and the T-shirt was printed:
