Letter?

Diego Wordsworth froze for a moment, and even when the elevator door opened, he didn't go in, but let it close.

Sending a letter with a courier?

What is this operation?

Diego Wordsworth came back to his senses, and instead of entering the elevator, he sat casually on the sofa placed at the front desk.

The lady at the front desk shuddered when she saw this scene.

It is said that Diego Wordsworth has a violent personality, does he think I did not do well and wants to punish me?

The lady was terrified, and Diego was confused.

He sensed the letter for a moment, and saw that there was no trace of the Ascender's extraordinary abilities on it.

At least not the kind of curse that spreads when it's taken apart.

Diego put it in front of his nose again and sniffed.

Well...... There's no human smell, but there's a smell of, uh, is this the smell of toilet cleaners?

Diego quickly pulled it away from his nose.

Glancing at the letter with disgust, Diego opened the envelope.

A blank piece of paper with newspaper clippings on it appeared in front of Diego's eyes.

The words on it, Diego quickly and silently read out.

"Dear Mr. Diego Wordsworth: I will take your life and put an end to your sins at a merry weekend party. - Respectfully to the Faceless. ”

Behind the simple words, there are surprising facts.

Someone wanted to assassinate Diego!!

"The Faceless?"

Rather than simply dismiss it as a prank, Diego thinks about when he got into this trouble.

But Diego did not search for the name in his memory.

Quickly returning to the office, Diego made a brief investigation through his own intelligence network, but still found nothing.

It was only at this time that Diego turned his gaze to the courier box that he had taken upstairs together.

Why is the panda on it smiling?

Isn't the symbol of panda logistics a sitting melancholy panda?

Thinking about it, Diego quickly understood why.

This courier box is a fake!

That courier, too, is fake!

There's a good chance that guy was the one who sent this murder notice!

Diego stood up suddenly, a cold sweat streaming down.

You must know that just now, even if he had become a third-order [hound] of the shadow prototype, his perception had been strengthened a lot, but he was unable to catch any abnormalities from the courier's body.

His heartbeat, movements, body temperature, smell, everything was perfectly normal, not to mention the killing intent and the like.

In other words, the courier saw Diego so easily, handed him the murder notice, and walked away.

If that guy had the heart, Diego might have been killed several times in the process.

But the other party didn't do anything, just sent a notice letter.

This is a provocation!!

Is it contempt!!

It's like saying, "Because it's so easy to kill you, I'm going to remind you so that you're ready to die."

It's an absolute insult.

Diego was more frightened than angry.

When did you get into trouble with such a guy?

And who wouldn't want to kill themselves?

Even MI5, the Sand Tooth Consortium behind him, and the complicated political environment of the Pan-Western Sea, did not take action, where did this faceless man come from?

He was going to find three or four beautiful models for the weekend to spend a pleasant and fulfilling weekend at his manor house on the East Side of Alexandria.

And yet now......

In this regard, Diego's first reaction was to contact the Sand Tooth Foundation.

There is no shortage of powerful ascenders in the Sandtooth Consortium, after all, no matter how powerful the assassin is, he can't be a demigod.

The trajectories of the demigods are basically recorded.

As long as you can contact some bodyguards, maybe you can kill the assassin back, and find the main messenger behind the scenes.

Habitually rubbing the ring on his right hand, he dialed a number.

“...... It's me, Diego......"

After recounting what had happened to him in a relatively respectful tone, Diego heard the other side fall silent.

After a long time, just when Diego thought it was a phone disconnection, there was a sound from there.

"You act normally on the weekend, I'll go check on the situation."

Saying this, Diego was relieved.

"Okay, thank you very much."

"You prepare the reward in advance and send it to me directly."

The other party explained again before hanging up the phone.

Diego breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he contacted a well-known killer within the Sand Tooth Group.

Generally, if that subsidiary encounters a powerful guy who can't handle it, it will go to him.

This Ascender is at least a fourth-order and is a beast archetype, possessing at least one Abyssal Relic.

His name is unknown to anyone, only the code name within the organization.

[Ripper].

Although it was a very special price to ask him to make a move, Diego even felt that he might have been killed if he met [The Ripper].

Such a man protects himself, and if the Assassin dares to come, he will surely die here.

Diego was quite convinced.

...

...

After changing his clothes and changing his appearance, Bai Ge rode a rented bicycle and slowly advanced on the evening street.

A warm breeze blew, and a cloud was brewing over the sea in the distance, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.

"I'll have to bring an umbrella when I go out tomorrow."

Bai Ge thought that he casually bought two glasses of Alexandria's special fruit drinks downstairs, walked up to the second floor, and as soon as he opened the door, he smelled the aroma of food.

This time it's normal.

He saw that the table was lined with pan-Western Sea roast chicken and bread, butter, vegetable salad, etc., while Halleyson was already waiting at the door, bringing indoor slippers for Bai Ge.

"Welcome back, do you want to eat first, or take a shower first, or ......?"

Halleyson said with a blank face.

“?”

Where did you learn that?

Bai Ge didn't complain that Halleyson didn't have those functions at all, but tilted his head.

"Halleyson expanded his database during the day by playing with TV dramas, and Halleyson judged that the chance of such a greeting appearing in a home with a maid was 87.36%."

The alchemy puppet with supple blond hair and deep purple eyes said seriously.

"What are you watching and movies?"

Bai Ge suddenly felt that it was not good to let Halleyson study by himself.

Nowadays, the Internet is too developed, and all kinds of knowledge are available, and it is easy for children to learn badly.

Maybe one night when he came home, Bai Ge would see Helletson greeting him wearing only an apron.

Hiss –

"Remove this from the database."

Bai Ge said, took off his long cloak and gave it to Hellesson, put two more drinks on the table, washed his hands, changed his clothes, and came to the table.

"You should have the ability to taste the taste, analyze a little bit how the drink is made."

Bai Ge pointed to the dark red juice drink.

"Halleyson judged that in most cases, such behavior is a manifestation of treating alchemy dolls as human beings, Halleyson advised the owner to recognize the facts, Halleyson cannot become a beautiful girl, unless the owner purchases the latest AD78 model for Halleyson, otherwise Halleyson will not be able to fully meet the owner's needs in all aspects."

“?”

Bai Ge really just wanted to make his own drinks.

Although this drink is made with tropical fruits, the proportions and ingredients added are not clear, and Bai Ge thought that the taste sensor of the alchemy puppet should be able to accurately replicate the taste of the juice, so he bought an extra glass and came back.

Taking a sip of the cold drink, Bai Ge stretched his brows and began to cut the roast chicken with a knife and fork.

Halleyson sat on the sidelines, looking at the dark red drink, and after a long time, he picked it up, bit the straw, and took a sip.

...

...

After the meal, after refusing to bathe Bai Ge, who was rubbing his back, he returned to the sofa in the living room, and the news of Pan Xihai was playing on the TV, he glanced at it casually, then picked up his mobile phone and opened the [Panda Parliament] app.

[Goo-goo]: Big guy, I've stepped on it a little bit, when will you send the things you have made an appointment over?

After waiting for two minutes, Bai Ge found that the other party did not respond.

So he sent it again.

[Lao Tzu is the first cutie in the world]: I saw it, I don't need to send it a second time!

The girl who was still tearing up with people in the forum just knocked down the screen of her mobile phone and repeated it viciously.

But...... He's already stepped on a good point?

So efficient?

Remember who decided to assassinate Diego Wordsworth last night?

[Lao Tzu is the most cute in the world]: I have two things here, you can look at and choose one, and the value should be about the same.

The first item is a whistle left over from the death of a Creator Archetype Ascender, which, if blown, will make all sounds in an area disappear for five minutes, and the item can be used at least three times.

The second item is a bone spur taken from the abyssal monster, and if it is stabbed, it will hallucinate and become insane, until it is awakened by great pain, and can be used five times.

Of course, these two things can only take effect on the ascenders of the third order and below at most, the former will have a shorter effect on the ascender of the creator archetype, while the latter will have less effect on the ascender of the fate archetype.

[Coo-goo]: This is Twilight Wolf's reward, right?

Bai Ge confirmed.

There is no limit to the use of abyssal relics, but even if they carry first-order historical fragments, they must be at least 700,000 or more.

These two transcendent items can work on third-order ascenders, and although there is a limit on the number of times, 500,000 is indeed very cheap.

When this was confirmed, Bai Ge also understood why they all also had extraordinary powers, the biggest difference between abyss relics and transcendent items.

That is the number of uses and activation.

Most of the Abyssal Relics have the ability to activate and can be used an infinite number of times, while the transcendent items do not have the activation feature and have a certain limit on the number of times they can be used.

Judging purely from the number of uses, Bai Ge should of course choose that bone spur.

But the ability to cause other people to become insane is not suitable for an assassin like Bai Ge who theoretically starts to kill when they meet.

On the contrary, it is the silent whistle, which is good for silent assassinations.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Ge typed.

[Coo-goo]: I want that whistle.
