Chapter 623: Thorn
Ye Yin walked in the shadows, and the wall behind him could not be an obstacle for him. It's just that when he crossed over, Ye Yin was still extremely careful and didn't dare to make any mistakes.
In the costume dramas of the Tianyuan period, there are often thieves, and there are often plots of assassins touching the dark and climbing over the wall, in front of these thieves and assassins, the high wall seems to only need a leap to be easily crossed, which is extremely simple. But it wasn't until Ye Yin went to assassinate a target for the first time and climbed over the wall of such a high-ranking family for the first time that he really knew what kind of ghosts screenwriters without knowledge reserves were, killing people.
That time, when he was climbing over the wall, Ye Yin accidentally touched a tile, and then, the whole house exploded, and he had to escape. There was only one tile, yes, only one, and the sound of the tile falling to the ground echoed very crisply in the silence of the night.
The walls of such tall houses have a small vault with tiles diagonally on the vaults. When people step on it, the tiles are very easy to break, and it is also very easy to fall down, and when the sound appears, it is easy to attract the attention of the owner.
Will they think it's the wind? No, no, no, Ye Yin knew that unless it was really at the level of a storm, these tiles would be scraped off. Although he didn't know what kind of material was gluing the tiles, at the very least, it was impossible for ordinary winds to blow off the tiles.
Ye Yin walked a few quick steps forward, then squatted down again, hiding behind a tree. Poking his head out, his eyes fixed on the place where the sound had come from, where the fire grew stronger and stronger, until two guards with torches appeared in his field of vision.
"Lao Wang, what kind of assassin do you say? We have so many brothers on patrol now, how can any assassin dare to show up? One of the guards let out a long yawn as he walked, but exhaustion continued to torment his eyelids. In such a tired moment, he could only rely on talking to another guard to cheer up a little.
"Anyway, no matter whether he shows up or not, there will be no shortage of things we should do and the way we should go." The old king of the guards replied, moving the torch in all directions, using the light of the fire to make himself see more clearly in the night.
"Lao Wang, you are really serious." The first guard scoffed, shook his head, and walked briskly forward. He just wanted the rotation to come as soon as possible so that he could go back and get some sleep sooner.
Watching the two guards walk away, Ye Yin walked out again and headed towards his destination. When he walks, he is very careful not to make unnecessary noises under his feet. Unlike ordinary people, he always touches the ground with his toes, then the soles of his feet, and finally his heels.
Step by step, walk briskly. Ye Yin chose all those places covered in shadows, staggering between one darkness and another.
Feng Xu's mansion is very large, as one of the ten permanent servants, he doesn't know how much wealth he has collected, and the mansion just shows this. Ye Yin is now in the backyard, looking at the closed rooms from his perspective, he doesn't know if there are people inside, who lives there, and who is staying there.
If you are someone who has never been here and is not familiar with this place, you will get lost all of a sudden. Although he was able to get out, when he was moving forward, he didn't know if he would go around or meet those patrolling guards.
Ye Yin is different, all his walking routes are planned from the beginning. The time he spent was also in one night after another, sneaking into Feng Xu's mansion and constantly depicting the map clearly. He knows when to turn a corner, when to stop and look around, and where to hide the best corners. This is actually the same as when you are traveling to a place in reality, you will first collect the information of that planet and that place, and download the map of that place in the portable intelligent system.
The backyard is the best place to hide, because there are trees and flowers planted, which are excellent hiding places. But being able to hide doesn't mean that Ye Yin's assassination can be much simpler, and the rooms are also obstacles.
He didn't know where Feng Xu was sleeping, to be precise, he didn't know which room Feng Xu slept in tonight.
Change and immutability have always been an Assassin's worst enemy. Change refers to the change of goals, all variables that are not in the plan. Unexpected circumstances that are not taken into account. Take Feng Xu as an example, maybe he was in a bad mood today and couldn't sleep, so he took advantage of the night to walk around the mansion. Maybe he didn't feel safe and had a faint worry, so he stopped sleeping in his original room at night and went to sleep in another place.
Unchanged means that an Assassin cannot remain the same and always follow the plan. Seamless, there is no heavenly clothes in the world, some clothes are not without gaps, but you can't see them, in fact, their gaps still exist. There is no plan, and everything can be calculated. Any accident in the world can happen suddenly, and the change in people's hearts is the biggest change, no matter how powerful an assassin is, he can't calculate a person's mood that may change at any time, and the actions that change with the mood.
In such a situation, if an Assassin is not able to improvise, he may quickly go from being a killer to a slain.
So where exactly is Feng Xu? It was impossible for Ye Yin not to think of this, after that ridiculous assassination, he already had the greatest estimate of Feng Xu's way of defense.
He is a lone wolf, and many assassinations are done alone. He's not a lone wolf, a creature like a wolf, a person like an assassin, it's not so terrible alone, it's scary to be in groups.
As early as after the Killer Building received Cao Cao's commission, the intelligence officers in the Killer Building began to infiltrate the mansion of the Ten Permanent Servants in Luoyang City. There are many ways to use it, and of course, each of them is not suspicious, which is very normal.
For those servants, it is a bit ridiculous to talk about loyalty, as long as there is enough interest, it may not be possible to make them use it for you. It's just that it can't be so obvious, and it is necessary to contact through normal channels, even if some people are unmoved, but there are always people who are moved. If you don't move for profit, who can guarantee that your relatives and friends will not be moved by money?
Life in the world is nothing more than money, power, love, and all three.
In Feng Xu's back kitchen, there are precisely the intelligence officers in the killer building hidden in it. This also reduces the lot of effort that Ye Yin needs to pay, a lot of information, Ye Yin only needs to corroborate with that person, under the cocoon, Feng Xu's mansion, his daily habits, his work and rest time, etc., there is no secret at all.
Whether you change or don't change, I'm always here, always know clearly, and then change with it.
Feng Xu has a habit of always drinking a bowl of hot red dates and white fungus soup before going to bed. According to people's normal habits, Feng Xu will suddenly change the room where he sleeps, but what can't be changed is this habit, and it is before going to bed, it is impossible for him to drink in the original room and fall asleep in another room.
Even if there is an accident, Feng Xu suddenly made such a choice today, Ye Yin is not afraid. The chess piece buried here is not just a helper in the back kitchen, he also pays attention to Feng Xu's every move.
Next to a pillar, in the most unobtrusive corner, Ye Yin found what he was looking for. With just a glance, the information recorded by the marks on the pillars was remembered by him, and when the footsteps around the corner behind him became clearer and clearer, Ye Yin had already hidden it again.
Stop-and-go, stop-and-go, Ye Yin's heart was very calm, without the slightest sense of irritability, and he was not anxious. He didn't race against time, he didn't dance on the tip of a knife, he walked through those imminent glances. He was very slow, and the more he got to this time, the slower Ye Yin became.
The reason why Ye Yin was slow was because the assassination of Feng Xu was a plan, and he had planned the action for a period of time, and it took so much time, and he didn't care about spending a little more time at this time. If it was another way, assassinating in public, Ye Yin would not be so slow, he would be very fast at that time.
Standing on tiptoe, he fell, until he finally approached the ground, and there was not the slightest sound. The corners of Ye Yin's mouth hooked, looking at the dark room close at hand, and there was a door in front of him.
He did not go in through the door, because he could not get in. At this time, Ye Yin still wanted to complain, but it was still those TV series, the thief inside took a knife and inserted it into the crack of the door, and he was able to move the wooden latch to the other side, so as to enter the door.
It was also a lesson, when Ye Yin was in the assassination and wanted to repeat this action, he found that no matter how he tried it, he couldn't move the door latch! And the screenwriter of the god, don't write it if you don't know the ancient information of the empire in the Common Era, the reason why the wooden door is a wooden door is that no matter how you open it, it will make a huge movement.
Three tragic lessons, when Ye Yin failed to entrust, he returned to the killer building, only to find that there were a large number of players who failed to entrust like him. When asked, Ye Yin learned that they had all been defeated by a magical creature called the screenwriter. Yes, you can't blame them for their strength, you can only blame those screenwriters for bragging and not making drafts, and they are too naïve.
The wisdom of the ancients is truly admirable. If you want to open a door latch from the outside, there is no other possibility than to break the door by force. If you want to remove the latch, you also need to lower the latch and lift down a small partition that blocks the movement of the latch before you can remove the latch and open the door. Except that the owner inside the door can do this, you can't do it outside the door at all, and the original immobility just told Ye Yin this.
Because of this, Ye Yin later believed that no matter what he did, what he had, he had to understand it first, and then he would do it and use it. Otherwise, he would have died a miserable death, remembering the experience of being chased behind his ass by two vicious dogs, and his ass still hurt faintly.
Exhaling to calm his heart, Hagakure began to move along the room. His hand touched the window lightly, and without much force, he kept moving forward and sliding.
The carved window moved slightly, and Ye Yin's footsteps stopped, and he stretched out his other hand and pressed it on the window. Slowly, slowly, every second, the two windows moved a little inward.
A gap appeared in front of Ye Yin's eyes, a small one, which could only accommodate a thin line to pass through, and when you looked from the gap, you couldn't see anything, only darkness. He continued to push the window, and his slow movements made no unnecessary sound, and footsteps in the distance fell into Ye Yin's ears.
Without turning his head sideways to observe, Ye Yin looked intently at the gap in the window in front of him, only his ears continued to carry out his duties.
The footsteps of each step were so clear, and as they approached, they became heavier and heavier. Every two steps, about a second of time, not exactly, just approximately. At this time, the guards had reached their most tired time, and at the same time, with conversation, and visiting from time to time, they could walk almost four steps a second, but they became two steps.
When the window opened to accommodate Ye Yin, he quickly crawled into the room and landed silently. On the bed not far from him, a person lay there, unable to see his specific appearance in the dark, and most of his body was covered under a thick quilt.
Ye Yin turned around and began to close the window, just as slowly as he came in. The footsteps became closer and closer, accompanied by a soft conversation, no matter how urgent it was in his heart, Ye Yin's hand was still very steady and slow.
In the end, there was only a finger-sized gap between the two windows, and looking through the gap, Ye Yin clearly saw the torches and saw the two guards passing in front of the windows. His hand movements did not stop, and he was still pushing the window, trying to close it.
Soon, the two guards left, their eyelids pulling down, and their eyes not noticing that there was such a gap in the window in the room. They also didn't expect that there was a pair of eyes that had been watching them in the window away.
Ye Yin's hand stopped, and the window in front of him was also closed.
He turned, felt a thin transparent line from his waist, and walked slowly towards the bed. Very light, very slow, with soft eyes, Ye Yin didn't seem to be here to kill people at all, but to make people completely fall into eternal sleep.
