Chapter 622: One End, One Beginning
"Ding, ding, ding." A copper plate, which fell to the ground, rolled forward a few more times, and landed at Ye Yin's feet.
He bent down and picked up the plate, which his thumb and forefinger had left grease on it.
"Boss, thank you for helping me pick up the copper plate." The pedestrian who dropped the money hurriedly snatched the copper plate from his hand and thanked him by the way.
Stunned to watch the pedestrians walk away, Ye Yin's two fingers were still gently rubbing, and it seemed that the copper plate was still sandwiched in the middle. He showed a lost expression just right, seeing the small fortune flying in, and the loss after the duck in his hand flew.
Cleaning up his mood, Ye Yin's mood was also like what was revealed on his face, which was lost and regretful. A copper plate means that he has to sell one more baked cake and be busy for a few more minutes. He frowned, as if summarizing, the action of bending down in the future should not be too obvious, he should step on it with his foot first, and wait until the owner can't find it and leave, and then bend down to pick it up.
"Xiao Ye, you're still too young." The guests in front of the biscuit stall muttered while eating the biscuits.
"Ugh." Ye Yin sighed.
"It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, you didn't drop that copper plate, this time it was taken back, and next time you should know how to make it impossible for others to take it back, and maybe it won't be just a copper plate at that time! The guest let out a reassuring voice, and when he opened his mouth, crumbs flew out of his mouth.
Ye Yin shook his head and did not answer. Seeing this, the guest smiled, and stopped comforting, he could completely see how annoyed Ye Yin was.
What this guest couldn't see was that Ye Yin's sigh contained not the loss of missing the copper plate, but another kind of loss. He is about to take off the skin on his body now, and he is no longer the busy vendor selling baked cakes in Luoyang City, and those customers who were familiar with him in the past may never be seen again.
A slight loss, every disguise, becoming a character in all walks of life, is like a different life. From the appearance of this person to his death, sometimes it is only a little more than ten days. In more than ten days, Ye Yin has really become another self, perhaps in another different time and space, his life at different times.
The small fluctuation in his mood did not affect Ye Yin, who was still skillful in preparing hot, freshly baked baked pancakes for the next guest. The drop of the copper plate just now, and the process of being picked up by him and taken away by the owner, was a sign of the beginning.
"It's time to start the assassination operation." This is what the lost owner just now, who didn't say it, but Ye Yin knew.
In a city, many people may lose money in a day, but not always lose a copper plate. On this street, there may be a few people who will lose money, and a copper plate will not roll so coincidentally at his feet. Even if it really happened so coincidentally, what the owner said couldn't be such a standard eleven words. There can be no more words, no less words, and no one of the eleven words can be changed.
At the same time, there is the last layer of protection in the case of the previous total coincidence, or someone deliberately did it. When the sender snatched the copper plate, his fingers would inadvertently scratch his fingers, creating an oblique mark.
The Killer Building is so strict, secretive, and every link is completely planned and determined in advance. In order to ensure that it will not be seen through by others, or even used, so as to counteract.
Although he got the news of the start of the operation, Ye Yin was not anxious, and still began to be busy for a day. There will be nothing unusual about his departure, and there will be no people who will notice anything wrong.
This is probably also a relief that this "he" must experience, an end. After today, Xiao Ye of the baked cake stall will get a logical way to die, so that his departure may be abrupt, but no one will doubt its reasonableness.
This is the assassin, the killer, whether it appears or disappears, it does not make people feel sudden. He will appear quietly, become a part of life when you don't know it, and disappear quietly, become the forgotten part.
Time passed little by little, the sun gradually deflected, and the halo gradually became dim. By the time it was west, the street where Ye Yin was located was already full of the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Cooking experience is increased by one, and baked cake experience is gained by 3." The prompt sound of the system sounded in Ye Yin's ears after he made a baked cake.
Ye Yin casually opened the skill panel, glanced at it, and saw that under the cooking skills, there were more ratings and experience of various dishes. In addition to cooking, there are other life skills, and in short, the skills on his skills panel seem to be far more complex than other players. Any player who sees Ye Yin's skill panel will also vomit blood, lamenting the difficulties of life and the gap between people.
The prompt sound of this system, like a full stop, was pointed at the end of Xiaoye's life. Seeing off this last guest, Ye Yin began to pack up his things in an orderly manner.
"Xiao Ye, why did you go back so early today?" A familiar guest asked this question when he walked over.
"I feel a little tired today, so I closed the stall early and went home to rest." Ye Yin replied, wiping the sweat droplets from his forehead with the back of his hand.
"Oh, young man's family, you still have to take care of your body, otherwise what will you do if you marry a wife in the future? Hey. The guest blinked narrowly, and when he saw Ye Yin's flushed face, he left with a satisfied laugh.
Lowering his head again, Ye Yin's eyes with a shy gaze suddenly became cold, and he put some tools into the cage and tied them with ropes. A flat pole passed through, and at the other end was a small stove, and one shoulder picked up all these things, and Ye Yin took advantage of the sunset as a companion and walked towards the foothold.
The sun soon shifted to the western sky again, until the light of the setting sun gradually disappeared, leaving only a little light in the western sky, and finally disappeared the entire Luoyang City, from the light, into the darkness, and there were thousands of lights lit up, again in the night to dispel the darkness one by one.
There were not many pedestrians on the streets anymore, and many people had already returned to their homes before the sun went down. Although it is not yet the time when the final curfew begins, it will be a little less troublesome, and all that is left is a few figures who hurried home at night.
After another period of time, the night was deeper, and many of the lights in Luoyang City dimmed, and the lights disappeared one by one. Although there was still a full moon in the sky, the cold moonlight could barely dispel some of the darkness, but the darkness at the corners of the streets, the corners of the houses, was deep. Not far from the street, which is paved with a layer of moonstone slabs, it seems like two different worlds.
Bands of soldiers, armed with torches, began to patrol the streets and alleys. At this time, no one in Luoyang City dared to walk on the streets anymore, otherwise they would be seen by these soldiers and would not be able to escape the fate of being arrested. Those who can still walk freely on the street at this time are some people who have official bodies and tokens.
Although there was a curfew, it did not have much impact on the ordinary people in Luoyang City. It is still necessary to live, and the days are still so peaceful, the only change is that the security in Luoyang City has become extremely good now. Many people can sleep peacefully after nightfall, and those stupid thieves dare not come out at such a time. Those soldiers patrolling the streets, usually catch thieves, they have to hand over to Luoyang Ling to deal with, but now, for those who are threatened, they can be killed directly!
Ye Yin, walking in the streets of Luoyang City in the dark night, did not wear a night coat on him, but an ordinary dress with a darker color. In fact, the kind of clothes that are worn in the night clothes are only worn when necessary. A person like Ye Yin, he doesn't rely on the black of his night clothes to hide his tracks, he relies on his perception of other people's eyes.
When needed, hide out of the sight of others, go to those places that have been missed and neglected. No one can see you at all, so why hide it in your nightwalker.
Walking through the dark corners of the street, Ye Yin's steps were brisk, barely pausing. From time to time, his eyes swept over a few corners of the street, and with a slight sweep, he retracted again. An assassin like him, darkness and night, heaven for him.
To describe it as an animal, it is a cat, which can be lazy and lazy during the day, and at night, it will become energetic. He has no feeling for the darkness that ordinary people fear, he embraces the darkness and walks in the darkness like a fish in water.
Hagakure's eyesight is very good, although it is impossible for humans to have such super vision in the dark as felines and canines. But Ye Yin's eyesight can almost be regarded as the best eyesight of human beings, he doesn't need to watch the darkness in the dark, all he needs is to capture those lights in the dark.
Not many people are like him, in the dark, without any lighting at all. The light in the darkness, the slightest bit of light, will become the most conspicuous and dazzling place. Even if it is fleeting, it is light, and the light that is opposed to darkness only needs a moment to make people remember.
Eyes see six ways, ears listen to all directions. In addition to the eyes, Ye Yin also has ears, the eyes have dead corners, and there can be places where they can't be seen, but the ears don't, as long as it's a sound, it's a sound that humans can capture, it can hear it.
Ye Yin once lived with his eyes closed in the game for a month, and his ears were trained to be sharper during this time. Although there is no way to have a pair of super strong ears like those blind people who are really blind, his ears are now better than the average person.
There was a sound, the wind blowing, and the sound of flying with those unpacked clutter. There are also small alleys, some rustling sounds, what kind of animals should be running, foraging.
It turns out that Ye Yin shouldn't have to be so careful, these days, after the curfew in the city, the time period and route of the soldiers' patrols have been clearly explored by Ye Yin. This is very regular, and perhaps he may have given very strict orders to the principal. But there are policies at the top, there are countermeasures at the bottom, and how many soldiers at the bottom will act according to the orders from above?
This is Luoyang City, the name of the imperial capital, which will give people a sense of security, whether it is the soldiers or those people. On all-night patrols again and again, when the wind is calm and there are no waves, the soldiers often slack off. In addition, soldiers are also human beings, even if they are a little stronger than ordinary people, they are still human beings, and at night, they are easy to get tired, which is nothing more than a violation of the normal work and rest time.
The time chosen by Ye Yin was also one or two o'clock after midnight. At this time, it was the darkest time, and the moon in the sky was not completely hidden, but there was not much moonlight shining down. This time is also the time when people are most tired, and even if there is a rotation of soldiers on patrol, it will not be in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night.
From Ye Yin's residence to Fengxu's mansion, all the environments between these two points were clearly investigated by Ye Yin. What he is taking now is a route that he planned earlier, which is the most secret and the fastest.
Along the way, there were no accidents or any waves. Ye Yin followed the root of the wall and touched the back door of Feng Xu's mansion.
Raising his head, Ye Yin saw that there was still a bright light in Feng Xu's mansion, which was hidden from time to time, and became clear from time to time. Since that assassination, Feng Xu's mansion has been bright all night, and there are guards patrolling and guarding. These bright lights are the torches in the hands of the guards who patrol the various parts of the house, and they disappear from time to time, and they are also caused by the movement.
During this period of time, Feng Xu also did not step out of the door, and when there was nothing to do, he did not go out at all, and stayed in the mansion honestly, under the protection of many guards. The only time he went out, he didn't bring the guards from his own house, but real soldiers to escort them!
Under such strict protection, it seems that it is very difficult to assassinate Feng Xu, at least it is difficult.
For Ye Yin, it is nothing, people in this era are still a little too pediatric in terms of how to prevent assassination. The most critical thing for an assassin is to obtain information and information, and if he wants to assassinate without knowing anything, he will do nothing less than desperately.
Ye Yin knows what he should know, and he knows what he shouldn't know. Regardless of whether Feng Xujia strengthened the defense around him, Ye Yin kept watching, observing, and did not let go of every detail. Including raising the vigilance, and after the number of guards, the only obstacle to Ye Yin is to obtain information again, and it will only take a little more time.
Now that he is here, although Feng Xu is not dead, he is almost there.
