Chapter XXIV
Chen Kun listened to this incomprehensible sentence, and was a little confused, what kind of strange question is this? Isn't he the one he personally brought into the killer industry? Why do you now ask yourself if you want to continue? Could it be that he is now retired, has realized the true meaning of life, and has begun to envy the life of ordinary people?
It doesn't seem unreasonable to say this, the shopkeeper is over half a hundred years old, still single, and still doing things for the organization, maybe because of loneliness, right? If I had discovered this problem earlier, I would have spent more time with him.
I wanted to think so, but Chen Kun still felt that something was wrong, and felt that the shopkeeper at the moment was a little unfamiliar, looking at the expression on his face was not like a joke, Chen Kun's brain also unconsciously recalled the experience of this killer.
I can't remember exactly how many people he killed, but I remember that he never showed any other feelings for any of the people who were killed, and some were always just indifferent, which was a kind of disregard for life.
Including the first time he performed the task under the care of the shopkeeper, there was no wave in his heart, it was as simple as stepping on a worm, unlike Cheng Shansheng's consciousness after integrating into this body, he would feel nervous when he killed someone.
Maybe the shopkeeper really wants him to have a normal life, but judging from these memories alone, he doesn't know how the original Chen Kun would choose, but now Cheng Kun will definitely not choose to live an ordinary life.
He has been in the life of an ordinary person for more than 20 years, where is there a killer so chic and exciting, besides, he is not Chen Kun now, he is here to practice, he has not experienced enough of another life, and the experience has not been completed, how could he choose to live an ordinary life?
Do you want to stay here for the rest of your life to be Chen Yu and Chen Li's good brother?
Thinking of this, the jade pendant on his neck exuded a coolness again, piercing directly into his mind, his spirit was shocked, and the expression of looking at the shopkeeper immediately changed a taste, and he was a little afraid in his heart, the experience of the dream tide was really terrible.
It turns out that there is not only a challenge on the surface, but also a mental test when he is unprepared, because he has a very close relationship with the shopkeeper, so using the shopkeeper to follow his own path, it is easy for him to relax his guard, if he really chooses to live a normal life just now, I am afraid that he will stay here forever, right?
"Where is the wonderful life of a killer in a normal life? I was born to be a killer, that's what you said, and I think so! Because of Yu Pei's warning, he figured out the key to it, and quickly rejected the shopkeeper's proposal categorically.
As he said the last word, he keenly felt that the space seemed to have changed a little, and the jade pendant became warm again, even the shopkeeper seemed to have returned to normal, laughed a few times heartily, and said: "Good boy, he is worthy of the person I value, and he really didn't disappoint me!" ”
Chen Kun secretly said gladly, it seemed that he had chosen the right one, glanced at him complainingly, and said: "What level am I now, and I still play the trick I just entered the industry before, do you want to test my concentration?" ”
"Now the Qian brothers and sisters want to use you as a stepping stone, and you are not as strong as theirs, they use this trick to deal with it, there must be a lot of pits waiting for you to jump behind, I'm not worried that you will be frustrated?"
The shopkeeper who returned to normal briefly explained why he asked that, cleared his throat, and continued: "Actually, it's not impossible for you to quickly get rid of those two brothers and sisters, you just need..."
Shanghai City Huangcheng Xiang Octagonal Building.
Business magnate Kuang Jinrong feasted here today, convening all the leading figures in the business world to discuss major matters, preparing to form an alliance to jointly resist the suppression of foreign companies and resolutely resist cheap labor, which can be regarded as a major event of absolute weight in recent years.
This event not only alarmed the business tycoons, but people from all walks of life were paying close attention to the matter, including ordinary people, the government, the working class... Of course, there are also those foreign alliances with ill intentions. The major killer organizations and the killers who act alone are also boiling because of this grand event, and the more people there are, the easier it is to mess up, and those mission targets who usually hide like shrunken turtles can only participate in it.
The invitation initiated by Kuang Jinrong as the leading brother, as long as it is a businessman, he has to sell him a face at this time, such a big event, safety work must be the most important part, after all, he also has to prevent the ruthless methods of those foreigners.
But it was the best opportunity for them killers, gathering so many uneven people, it only took a little design to stir up a dispute, and this was a great opportunity for them killers to become famous.
In the core hall on the top floor of the Octagon, the two siblings of Qian Qiushui and Qian Xia were also qualified to sit in it because of their father Qian Weitong, but it was only on the periphery, and the two sat obediently in their seats and talked in a low voice.
"This cold is too calm! He didn't come forward to take the task for three months, so he won't still be able to take action at today's event, right? In order to maintain her appearance as a good girl, Qian Qiushui always has a cute look on her face, and anyone who sees it will be happy.
If anyone knew the other side of her hiding, knew the meaning of what she was saying now, I don't know how she would feel.
On the other hand, Qian Xia sat upright, and whispered quietly: "I don't think things should be so simple, judging from the cold style of acting, he is just cautious and not timid, in that case, he never thought about running away, and even thought about fighting back, neither his heart nor IQ will be bad." ”
Speaking of this, Qian Xia paused, his brows tightened, as if he thought of a question that he didn't quite understand, "I still think that the guy who has become famous recently has a problem, could there be some kind of connection between the two, otherwise why are the two of them so similar in their murder methods?" ”
In the past three months, Leng disappeared from the rivers and lakes, but another person named Ghost appeared out of thin air and took his place, and he was in the limelight for a while.
Qian Xia noticed this killer nicknamed a ghost at the first time, the time when this person appeared was so ingenious, it was difficult for him not to think of Leng , but he used his means to investigate secretly again and again, but he did not find any clues.
Even though all kinds of signs showed that the ghost was not cold, Qian Xia still clung to the similar killing style of the two of them, and could not rule out the idea that the ghost was cold.
"Ouch, haven't you tried it several times? It's just a coincidence, if the two are really the same person, it means that Leng is trying to avoid another identity that we have changed, and you also said that he has a good IQ, and he won't be unaware of such an obvious loophole in a similar style of murder methods! Qian Qiushui shook his head slightly, his tone quite helpless.
At first, she also suspected the true identity of the ghost, and she also set up an ambush for this and had close contact several times, but the feeling that the ghost gave her was indeed not the smell of Leng on her body, and there was news that confirmed that he was not from Zhang Ji Cloth Fang.
After making sure that the ghost was not cold, she instantly lost interest in the ghost, since the cold hid and did not come out, she seemed to have lost interest in killing, and she felt very puzzled when she realized the change in her mentality, so she found Qian Xia and told her about her situation, and found that Qian Xia also felt the same way as her.
It seems that there is an invisible will affecting them in the dark, and only by killing Leng can they gain spiritual freedom, and with this discovery, the two of them are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and nothing goes well.
The two of them were thinking about how to get rid of Leng Ji all the time! All kinds of means emerge in an endless stream, and they are almost three feet into the ground, but they still can't find cold news, just like the world has evaporated, leaving no trace.
"Alas!" Qian Xia exhaled a little dejectedly, he didn't know that he was wishful thinking, but deep down in his heart, he was unwilling to let go of his suspicion of ghosts, and his intuition told him that even if they were not the same person, there was a certain connection between the two.
"I hope Lao Suo's news is accurate! If Leng shows up today, I will never allow him to escape from my palm again! ”
...
There are so many people in the Nightmare Tower, everyone's dreams are different, and the way time is calculated is also different, according to the calculation method of the real world, two days have passed outside the Nightmare Tower.
With a "rustling" sound, several pink and tender long-nosed pigs slowly walked out, it was the dream tapir, their eyes were glowing with a hint of wisdom, revealing the humanized agility, while looking up at the bottom of the real nightmare tower, while approaching.
They walked as if they had been trained in some way, each following their own route in a three-talent formation, and when the last Dream Eater tapir returned to its position, they all raised their noses and whispered at the bottom of the Nightmare Tower.
"Whew!"
At the same time, an invisible air flow erupted from the noses of these dream-eating tapirs, and after converging together, they rushed straight up.
The bottom of the Tower of Nightmare was hit by this invisible air current, and immediately stopped spinning, and several dream-eating tapirs saw this scene, and the corners of their mouths hidden under their noses actually split an arc, if anyone could notice them, they would definitely be able to feel their excitement from the corners of their mouths.
After a while, the still, Nightmare Tower began to move again, but instead of clockwise, it turned upside down, until the spire was pointing straight down.
When the side representing modernity turned around, it was in the center, and the largest picture turned out to be Chen Kun's picture, only to see him stretch out his hand and rub it vigorously on his face, and it became a different picture.
"Chirp! Tweeted! A dream-eating tapir looked at Chen Kun in the picture and jumped up excitedly, and his mouth frequently let out a brisk cry, and several other nightmares also looked at it with envy, and the other two sides had not yet appeared as big as Cheng Chen Kun.
Each side of the Nightmare Pagoda is composed of many pictures, seamlessly spliced, all kinds of pictures are like movies, there are all kinds of types, among which the pictures of the six major sect teams are relatively small, and they are almost unnoticed.
"Chirp! Tweeted! ”
The dream tapir that had chirped before suddenly screamed again, and the rest of the dream tapirs looked in its direction, and the picture that originally represented Chen Kun began to enlarge again, the magnificent and luxurious octagonal building, with heavy figures, scattered and moving, and looked panicked.
"Silence! Please don't panic, find cover and hide, try not to stand up to prevent your whereabouts from being exposed to the gangsters' field of vision, our own security personnel and Boss Kuang's manpower are maintaining order, I believe that the chaos will end soon. A man who looked like a lobby manager said unhurriedly with a microphone.
Just a few gunshots, several people died for this, the entire octagonal building except for the core hall immediately became a mess, like a fried pot, the sound of crying and grabbing the ground is about to collapse the building, it can be seen that the lobby manager's concentration is still quite good, at this time he dared to hold the microphone to comfort these frightened guests.
In the end, it is a top restaurant, and he must have something outstanding to be able to mix in the position of the lobby manager, and this basic professionalism is still there, and his voice is loud and full of energy, which really makes him calm down, and most of the people squat down according to the words and stop yelling, even if their expressions are not relaxed.
The chaos seemed to be quite cooperative with the lobby manager, and there were really no gunshots in a short period of time, maybe it was their security measures that worked as he said, but he didn't feel relaxed because of this, and his expression was still very solemn.
Since those people dare to shoot and kill people at this time, and they shoot insignificant people, this is mostly foreplay, and there must be more terrifying ones behind, the man glanced thoughtfully in the direction of the core hall, his heart was full of worry, and he didn't know if the measures they had prepared were enough.
