Chapter 29: The Assassin Brotherhood

"The Assassin Brotherhood?"

Jessica looked confused.

Of course, she couldn't have heard of this name, because before Li Ran opened his mouth, there was no so-called Assassin Brotherhood at all.

That's right, the Assassin Brotherhood in Li Ran's mouth is actually the same as the previous Penglai.

And the time when this Assassin Brotherhood was formed, well, just now.

As for why you don't continue to use Penglai's name, it is mainly due to the fact that whether it is [Arc Ballistics] or [Adrenal Acceleration] shown by [Wesley], it does not match the legend of Penglai, an obvious oriental faction.

Therefore, Li Ran thought that instead of stiffly linking [Wesley] and Penglai together, it would be better to directly create a new organization, as the so-called one has two, there are two if there are two, there are three if there are three, um...... Well, that's a bit of a stretch.

In short, Jessica was at a loss when she heard Li Ran's "Assassin Brotherhood" in her mouth.

This is a normal reaction, Li Ran is not surprised, and the next thing is when he shows his real acting skills.

In the antique shop, I saw Li Ran deliberately move his face down about fifteen degrees, shrouded in shadows, and then lowered his voice to make his voice low and a little mysterious: "The Assassin Brotherhood is a very old organization, which can even be traced back to the Roman period at the earliest, is an organized group of assassins, although it has encountered countless crises of extinction during this period, it has always been able to rise from the flames. ”

"Then why, I've never heard anything about this organization?" Jessica raised her slender eyebrows, she is not a fool, in fact, as a private detective, even if she is not good at Hell's Kitchen, she still has the sensitivity and suspicion she should have, which can be glimpsed from the legend she brought to Li Ran.

"That's because the Creed of the Assassin Brotherhood is holding them back."

"Creed?"

"The three principles of the Assassin Brotherhood are: first: not to kill innocent people indiscriminately; Second: hide your tracks in full view and become a member of the crowd; Third: never endanger the fraternal alliance. These principles permeated every aspect of the daily lives of members of the Assassin Brotherhood, as did their struggle for "harmony in all things". The Brotherhood fulfills their duty through political, strategic assassinations, hoping to save thousands by killing one person. They believe that this is a fight for the interests of those who do not have the capacity, resources, or knowledge to speak up against those who abuse power. ”

"Sounds like a superhero organization." Jessica pouted, she wasn't interested in superheroes these days.

"Are you also a member of this so-called Assassin Brotherhood?"

Although Jessica was surprised by the mysterious Assassin Brotherhood, she did not forget her initial doubts.

"Me." Facing Jessica's rhetorical question, Li Ran shook his head, and then lowered his head to reveal an obviously bitter smile: "I am very eager to join the Brotherhood, but unfortunately, the internal rules of the Brotherhood are very strict, and my ability is not enough to become an assassin of the Brotherhood, so I am currently only the person in charge of the Assassin Brotherhood contact point here, helping the Brotherhood collect intelligence and contact members." ”

"Having said all this, how do you prove that the so-called Assassin Brotherhood you call is real? Perhaps, it was all just a casual lie from you to deceive me into trust. ”

Jessica propped up the counter, leaning forward slightly, looking directly into Li Ran's eyes.

Kilgray's appearance makes Jessica full of suspicions about everything in front of her, after all, the other party is a demon who can manipulate people's bodies and minds.

Faced with Jessica's aggressive questioning, Li Ran did not answer with words, but directly raised the pistol to her face and pulled the trigger.

Everything in front of her was so sudden that even Jessica, who possessed extraordinary abilities, could not dodge the bullets that came directly in front of her in an instant.

I could only watch as the deboring bullets flew over me.

In his mind, the idea that Li Ran had really been controlled by the purple man flashed in an instant.

The expected death did not come, and the bullet that came directly in front of her magically changed direction the next second when it was about to hit Jessica, and the tips of her hair slashed and hit the ceramic behind Jessica.

Accompanied by the crushing of ceramics.

Immediately afterward, Li Ran's voice slowly came from Jessica's ears: "[Arc Ballistics], one of the magical spear skills mastered by the members of the Brotherhood, but unfortunately, my ability is insufficient, and I can only make the bullet make a slight turn, and I can't operate the rotation of the bullet as I like the members of the Brotherhood." ”

Bang –

Li Ran lowered his head, looked at the counter that was smashed in half, and then looked at Jessica, who was waving his fist: "I'm just here to demonstrate, after all, it's you who said you didn't believe me." ”

"Me too." Retracting her fist, Jessica steadied her still-pounding heart, and for a moment she almost thought she was going to say goodbye.

After calming down, Jessica raised her head and looked at Li Ran again.

However, at this moment, Jessica's gaze was obviously a little different when she looked at him again.

……

Manhattan, Golden Tower.

The broken glass on the top floor has long since been repaired.

Kim stood on the edge of the window, leaning on his crutches, looking down at everything beneath the building.

"Recently, my business in Manhattan has suffered a lot of damage, which is not good," Kim turned to look at the shivering man who was kneeling behind him, "It's not good, Tony, it wasn't like that when I handed it over to you. ”

"There's a reason for all this, Kim Ji, there's been a madman on the site lately, and we've had quite a few more brothers die under his gun." Faced with Jin Ji's questioning, the man couldn't help but defend himself loudly.

"I don't want to listen to the reason," Jin picked up the man with one hand, ignoring the man's struggling movements, and said with a cold face, "For me, all the reasons are just excuses to cover up incompetence. All I need is a result, a result that satisfies me, you know? ”

“…… Be...... I...... Know...... ......"

The man hung from Jin He's hand and replied with difficulty.

Casually, he threw the purple-faced man back to the ground in his hand, and Jin took out a handkerchief and wiped his palm: "Then, I'll give you another chance, but Tony, you have to remember that this is the last time, and if it still doesn't satisfy me, then maybe we won't meet here next time." ”

On the ground, the man gasped for air while holding his neck and nodding his head with a difficult expression.
