Chapter 038: Killing... From Behind (3700 words)
Professionals?
The bells and whistles......
Trouble!
"Where are there paper documents now, go and go, don't mess around here......"
The young officer scoffed and waved his hand, trying to drive the man in his pants away.
Xu Zhiyong didn't care at first, but he inadvertently raised his eyes.
On the crumpled documents, a ...... is printed
Imprints that cannot be traced.
βοΌβ
Xu Zhiyong's expression was solemn.
"Shut up! Stop it! Wrap up! β
Xu Zhiyong waved his hand, one key and three times, without hesitation.
When the others heard this, their faces were full of consternation.
Although Gu Sinan, who is the captain, did not participate in the operation because of an ankle injury.
But Xu Zhiyong, as the oldest criminal policeman, still has prestige.
So even if the other police officers were full of question marks at the moment, they still obeyed the order, obediently shut up, and left the cordon in an orderly manner.
On the way back to the Qingcheng Police Station, someone finally couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xu, what is the origin of that fancy guy?" Why ......"
Xu Zhiyong closed his eyes.
The legend that had been passed down in the mouths of my predecessors many years ago flashed through my mind.
In this seemingly peaceful world, there are some "anomalies" that cannot be explained by common sense.
For ordinary people, even if they know a little more about these "anomalies", they can lead to death.
Xu Zhiyong is very clear about his position.
Ordinary old detectives are just that.
It is better to leave these tasks beyond the scope of ordinary human beings to "professionals".
Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyong felt a little afraid.
I almost got involved in a trouble that shouldn't have been interfered with.
Xu Zhiyong's biggest dream is to retire safely, retire, grow flowers, raise grass, walk the dog, accompany his wife, and that's it.
Before retiring, Xu Zhiyong didn't want to get into trouble that he shouldn't have caused.
"Don't ask more questions if you shouldn't ask, it won't do you any good." Xu Zhiyong stiffened his face and admonished.
"Remember!" Xu Zhiyong's voice was a little colder, and his tone was extremely serious: "Everything that happened here today is not allowed to leak out a single word!" Otherwise...... If something happens, no one can save you! β

"It's time."
Irin counted down and suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness.
Wherever you go!
After the countdown was over, although the Xiao family mansion in front of him didn't seem to have changed, Yi Rin still didn't hesitate to activate the skill.
In the dark, the effect of the Shadow Companion skill will be used to the extreme.
The perimeter wall is three meters high.
Originally, there were countless sensors hidden in the shadows on the walls.
As soon as someone crosses the fence, an alarm is triggered.
Yi Rin hesitated outside the Xiao family's mansion before, and it was also because of this.
But Molly's help has made Irin have no worries about this.
There is still ...... time
5 minutes and 32 seconds!
Irin held his breath and jumped up against the wall, using Blood Jasmine to easily climb over the wall.
In the darkness of the night, Irin fell silently, like a ghost, to the ground.
Didn't get anyone's attention.
Irin hides behind a tree.
In the courtyard, several bodyguards patrolled.
"Seven."
Irin closed his eyes and remembered the location of the seven bodyguards in the courtyard.
He again simulated a map of the entire courtyard.
The positions of the seven bodyguards, like fireflies in the night, shone brightly on the map simulated in Rin's brain.
β¦β¦
"Damn, I'm so tired today...... Buried all day. β
"Hey, I haven't done it for too long, and the rookie who came to touch porcelain today took 10 seconds more."
"By the way, where is the new Xiao Thirteen?"
"Dig a pit in the back mountain. I heard that the two pits dug today are almost filled. β
"Didn't the eldest brother let you bury it before he left?"
"Heh, 13 is a newcomer, why don't you work hard?"
"Hmm...... Reasonable. By the way, why hasn't the eldest brother come back yet? β
"I don't know, I heard that I went out to catch that kid named Irin, anyway, there is still a place in the pit. Hehe. β
Xiao Jiu chatted into the headset, looked around, and took advantage of no one to pay attention, so he quietly slipped into the corner and lit a cigarette.
Cigarettes have become a very expensive luxury in this day and age for various reasons.
If you let those old smokers find themselves secretly hiding and smoking...... Hey.
Xiao Jiu took a deep breath, letting the spicy smell of smoke fill his lungs, and then spit it out.
Smoky.
He didn't notice that behind him, a figure almost merged with the night.
[Gain Mayhem +49]
After Irin easily completed the assassination, information about gaining chaos value appeared in front of him.
"In a sense, this Apocalypse Knight mod isn't a good thing."
The corners of Irin's mouth twitched slightly.
Killing, destroying...... Any action that can break the order will gain chaos points.
The Knight of the Apocalypse will not be an existence for the benefit of society in the future.
"Walking Scourge", this is synonymous with the Knight of the Apocalypse.
As for how to get chaos points reasonably and harmoniously in the future, Irin plans to wait for this to happen before making a detailed plan.
Irin didn't have time to worry about it for the time being.
In any case, Irin, like the four knights, will not take the path of destruction in order to gain chaos points to strengthen themselves.
Roughly calculated, plus the chaos value obtained after killing Xiao Yi, plus some bits and pieces after causing the explosion, the chaos value has now exceeded 1000 points.
"I don't know if it's enough to upgrade [Psychic Shock] ......"
Irin didn't rush into the spiritual space of the Apocalypse Knight mod.
The reason is simple.
First, he is now in the enemy camp.
Second, Psychic Shock can now be regarded as Irin's hole card skill.
It is still unknown what kind of skill it will evolve into when leveled up with chaos value.
Rushing to upgrade your skills will only increase the variables.
To be on the safe side, Irin can only temporarily suppress the urge to upgrade his skills.
Irin hid Xiao Jiu's body in artificial vegetation.
Under the cover of night, this body will not be found for a while.
"Zizi Zi ......"
At this moment, there was a sound in Xiao Jiu's communication headset.
Irin's heart moved, looking at the corpse in the grass, and a good idea flashed through his mind. So Irein picked up the headset, and there were a few laughs and curses from the other end of the headset.
"I'm Xiao Qi, there's nothing abnormal here."
"Xiao Jiu Xiao Jiu, where did you die? Answer quickly! β
Irin looked calm, looked down at the corpse at his feet, and couldn't help but smile.
It's really dead here.
"Ahem...... Hey, everything works fine here. Irin deliberately hoarsely replied in a vague voice.
"Why does your voice sound a little weird?" The other party inexplicably gave birth to a trace of vigilance in his heart.
"Ahem...... I choked on the smoke, tsk, this bag of 'Furong Emperor' is really delicious! β
Xiao Jiu dared to hide and smoke?
Hearing this, Xiao Shi's attention was attracted by the legendary Furong Emperor.
Although the voice of "Xiao Jiu" in the communication channel is not right at all.
But the others didn't think otherwise.
After all, the level of security here is extremely high.
Not long ago, even the legendary White Shadow Club killer triggered the alarm the moment he broke into Xiao's house.
In their opinion, the alarm net over the Xiao family is covered by 360 degrees without dead ends, and it is very safe.
"Hehe, Brother Jiu, we have a good relationship, right? Got one? It's a big deal to bury the corpse tomorrow, and I'll help you bury it. β
"No problem."
"Thank you! Brother Jiu, hey, hey, hey. β
"Huh...... You're welcome. β
Xiao Shi was stunned.
Suddenly I felt a little strange.
Because the voice of "Xiao Jiu" actually came from behind him.
Xiao Shi was about to look back, when a sudden stabbing pain came from his neck.
Gollum......
He was just about to say something, but the air expelled from his lungs could not vibrate his vocal cords to make a sound, but instead poured out of the hole in his neck, with blood blisters.
A palm poked out from behind him, covering Xiao Shi's mouth tightly.
In the darkness, a chuckle came from Xiao Shi's ears: "I said it, no thanks, right." β
Thank β’ you!
This was the last second before Xiao Shi's death, and the thought that came to his mind.
ββ¦β¦β
γGain Mayhem +48γ
Irin, through several data, came to a preliminary conclusion.
The life of an ordinary human is worth about 50 chaos points.
It's a bit floating, but it's about the same.
Life, in the eyes of "that will", is so cheap.
Irin felt helpless.
Human beings are like ants.
This world, in the future, is just a chess game.
Natural disasters have struck, and mankind has ...... Go?
In the darkness, Irin let out a faint sigh.
"Second."
After killing, Irin counted meticulously.
There can be no mistake.
Irin hid the corpse as fast as he could, and suddenly, his calm face twisted, suddenly turned pale, and he squatted on the ground in pain.
The gray skull mark on his chest sent a heart-rending pain.
It was as if there was an invisible hand in the darkness that passed through Rin's chest from the void, squeezing the fragile heart fiercely, crushing it vigorously.
After a few seconds, the sharp pain subsided in an instant, just as it had been when it had come.
As if it had never been there.
After just a few seconds of torment, a dense layer of cold sweat broke out on Irin's back.
"How could it be ...... at such a time?"
Irin looked up.
Looking at the huge tower in the dark night, in the far away direction, shrouded in a layer of gray mist.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The backyard of the Xiao family.
Xiao 13 kicked a fresh corpse into the pit.
"Hoo ......"
Xiao Shisan let out a long sigh of relief.
"Baga, you actually asked me to do this kind of thing [One Knife Death] in a dignified manner......"
A trace of vague hatred flashed in the depths of Xiao Shisan's eyes, but it was quickly hidden by him.
At Xiao Thirteen's waist, there is a retro katana.
The katana, however, was a little shorter than the traditional katana of ancient times.
The inky black scabbard, dangling from the waist, seems to blend in with the crisp black suit, and if you don't look closely, you may accidentally ignore the past.
He will not use thermal weapons.
To kill, he only relied on the knife in his hand.
The name of the past is no longer important.
Now he is Xiao Shisan, who has a legal identity and can swagger on the street and stand in the crowd.
Xiao 13 had a rule in the past, no matter who the other party was, he would only promise a knife.
After a knife, no matter whether the other party is alive or dead, he will put the knife in the sheath and turn away.
Although Xiao Shisan's rules are so strange, he is gradually known as "a sword of death".
With Yingdao blood, even in this era of advanced technology, he has his own stubbornness and persistence.
That almost paranoid persistence has allowed him to live until now.
He ranked thirteenth among the sixteen guards of the Xiao family.
But in fact, all the Xiao family's bodyguards know that the ranking of the Xiao family's sixteen guards is not equivalent to strength.
Xiao Thirteen is just a code name that is easy to be named by Xiao Mo.
Anyone can be Xiao Thirteen, and Xiao Thirteen can also be anyone.
As long as it can be used by Xiao Mo.
Xiao 13 originally thought that he was the strongest existence among the Xiao family's guards.
Until today, he witnessed with his own eyes the scene where Xiao Yi took out the heart of the members of the White Shadow Club who made countless people tremble ten years ago with just one hand.
This scene still lingered in Xiao Shisan's mind, and made Xiao Shisan shudder.
Xiao 13 could only hide his ambition to the deepest depths, and only before he had the confidence to kill Xiao Yi with a knife could he reveal his hideous fangs.
No one wants to be a "code name" that can be replaced at any time forever, and he is eager to replace Xiao Mo and become another Xiao Mo.
At this moment, an unremarkable palm poked out of the darkness.
In his hand he held a short dark red knife.
At night, the dark red was as thick as blood.
Smelling of death.
When the dark red short knife was about to wipe his neck, Xiao Shisan suddenly trembled.
Almost reflexively, he kept holding his left hand at the hilt, his thumb flicking abruptly.
As a swordsman, he has always had a habit.
As long as the left hand is fine, it will be placed on the waist.
In order to maintain a posture that can be cut at any time.
No one expected that this habit, which had been maintained for many years, would save his life on this night.
Boom!
Xiao Shisan's left thumb flicked hard, only to hear a crisp sound, and the short knife on his waist was ejected from the scabbard!
At the last moment, the bouncing katana could block the killing move that quietly wiped out behind him!
Behind...... Someone!
