Chapter 140: Still Climbing?
Tashiro Zhen, the elite ninja of the Hand Association, has the same status in the organization as Comrade Yoshioka Shin, who has unfortunately hung up, and is deeply reused by several "fingers" of the Hand Association.
And now, his superiors have given him an unprecedentedly easy task - to keep an eye on a newspaper boss.
To be honest, Tashiro really didn't understand the meaning of the mission at all when he received this task. An elite of the elite like him, most of the tasks he took on in the past were assassinations and some tasks that were impossible to complete according to common sense.
But today, he actually had to stare at the back all the time at such an old salted fish whose whole body was flawed at first glance, and then looked at the flawed old salted fish all over his body, and he felt that the price was dropped when he thought about it.
Tashiro really didn't dare to slack off on his boss's orders, but this kind of task really didn't make him feel like he was motivated. He walked down the street, holding a camouflage briefcase in his hand and a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, hanging behind Richard from a distance of more than twenty meters. It really felt like a vacation, a small role he could keep up with all day without being noticed......
...... Uh, wait, why did he turn back?
With his extensive experience as a veteran ninja and his superb skills, Tashiro's instincts quickly told him that things were not going well. He pretended to turn around and leave as if nothing had happened, but he turned two or three turns, and Richard was still following behind, and he turned wherever he went, and he couldn't shake off like a dog's skin plaster......
At this time, if someone told him that it was just a coincidence, Tashiro would definitely slap that guy in the face. I thought about it with my feet and understood that his whereabouts must have been exposed, otherwise this thing could bite him so coincidentally the whole time?
It's just that Tashiro really can't figure it out, how did he expose it? As a top ninja in the Hand Association, as long as the disguise is in place, even if he infiltrates the CIA headquarters, he will never be exposed, but he just went out to show the other party through it.
Why?
But he didn't panic. No matter how you say it, Tashiro is also a veteran ninja of the Hand Club, and his tracking and anti-tracking skills are perfect. He shuttled back and forth in the crowd, skillfully using a series of details such as visual obstacles and blind spots, and turned around after four or five turns, and the other party finally stopped following.
Tashiro really laughed. Can't help yourself, you still want to follow me? Think too much.
Then he suddenly struck like lightning, and his smile instantly froze.
Wait, I just didn't ...... Got rid of the tracking target???
......
Midtown Circle Financial Building, Hand Junction Headquarters.
"Oh?" Alexandra, the leader of the Hand Clan, showed a slightly surprised expression, "Someone like you can actually be dumped, so he is really not an ordinary person?" ”
"Uh...... No. Tashiro lowered his head in pain, "I got rid of him......"
Alexandra: "??? ”
Tashiro reluctantly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and finally said that he was willing to accept any punishment. There was no way, as an elite who was deeply valued by his fingers, he actually made such a low-level mistake, and even he felt unforgivable.
He then added: "Recently, though, a woman approached him. ”
"Who?"
"Erica Natches." Tashiro said, "It is suspected that he is a fighter of the 'True Pure Society'. ”
This is a bit of a serious matter. True Pure will call itself the rival of the Hand Club, but the Hand never felt that way. In their eyes, this is just a bunch of rookies huddled together and fighting each other, clamoring all day long to destroy an organization that is more than 100 times bigger than them, not to mention the right one, not even a threat.
But if this Richard Lee really has some big backers behind him, and the True Pure Society is still on the line with him, then the situation will be quite bad for the Rival Association.
Alexandra pondered for a moment, didn't punish him, only waved her hand: "No need to follow. Go and send a message to Mr. Lee, and tell him that our Hand Club would like to sit down with that adult and have a good talk. ”
"Yes." The ninja nodded, retreating into the shadows and leaving.
At this time, Murakami, who had been silent, spoke up: "Do you think it's already certain?" Richard Lee, he's the guy over there? ”
"Not sure. But now that the Pure Society has already taken action, we can't sit idly by any longer. Alexandra said, "It's a temptation." If he's really the one from Shaflin, then it's just right for us to talk. And if it's not ......"
She paused, narrowing her eyes with a fierce glint in her eyes.
“...... We're going to kill him. ”
It's better to kill by mistake than to miss it, and since it is suspected that Richard is related to the True Pure Society, then the Hand Club must not stop there.
The other two leaders were also unopposed to this decision. Suowanda leaned back in his chair, his gaze casually swept over a vacant spot on the side of the table, and he couldn't help frowning: "Botu still didn't come?" ”
"He said he had his own business to do." Alexandra said, "He said it was important. ”
"It seems like I haven't seen him in a long time." Murakami frowned, "Now that Mrs. Gao is deceased, there are only four of us left on our fingers, and we should trust each other even more." I don't think there's anything important he should be hiding from us. ”
Alexandra nodded, "I'll let you know." ”
......
That night, when Tashiro arrived at Richard's residence, a torrential downpour had begun to fall in the sky. The water crashed against the houses and the ground like a burst of embankment, splashing and flowing along the glass, like a transparent waterfall hanging from the eaves.
The rain turned white, and the red-clothed ninja braved the torrential rain, grabbed a rope, and hung it on the outer wall of the building to climb upward, like an extreme climber.
Alexandra gave the order, and Tashiro immediately rushed to deliver a message to Richard. However, it is well known that ninjas are not allowed to walk through the door. Imagine a ninja with a masked face and a sword on his back honestly standing at the door, ringing the doorbell and politely asking: Is the brother there? If you're here, our boss would like to invite you to have a cup of tea and chat. I'll ask again later if I'm not there......
Ninja appearances pay attention to a momentum, and they have to take the lead. You just showed your face and lost in momentum, how can you talk about it later?
So this bitter ninja comrade braved the torrential rain and the bitter cold wind, holding a rope and crawling on the outer wall, it can be said that he fought hard to pretend to be this force......
As we all know, the specialty of a ninja is that he can "endure" very much, and the wind and rain are nothing to a first-class ninja like him, but he just wants to sneeze a little......
It was easy to climb to only two or three floors, Comrade Ninja paused for a moment, took a breath, and when he looked up, he found that a blonde girl at the target window was looking at him with wide eyes and tilting her head, and that look was like asking, can my brother still crawl? Do you need me to give you a hand?
Tashiro Ma: "......"
So do I keep climbing the remaining three floors, or do I not climb them?
