Chapter 848: Douglas
However, sitting in the café and turning the coffee cup in his hand, Lin Xi also understood that his idea just now was too wishful thinking.
Not to mention that the luck can be better, the target that can be encountered like the last time is the person who should be killed, and it is impossible to just ask the Killing Guild to cancel this assassination mission.
Lin Xi understands that this assassination mission, he has to go by himself, and if he doesn't go, he still has to go!
Otherwise, the Murder Guild will only get things done if he takes the client's deposit, and if he doesn't go, there will be many killers in the Murder Guild to complete it.
And if things develop like that, it will be very unfavorable for him.
Not only will the good image that he had managed to leave in the minds of the managers in the Killing Guild be ruined in an instant, but what is even worse is that he may be expelled from the Killing Guild for refusing to accept the task and the organization's arrangement, so that everything he did before would be completely in vain.
Thinking of this, Lynsey slammed the coffee cup on the table and stood up straight, a determined glint in his eyes again.
This mission, he decided to go ahead no matter what!
Even if it is to kill the innocent and pitiful target, it is condemned on conscience, but this mission must be completed!
Lynsey walked out of the café quickly, praying in her heart that the person she was going to kill would be a heinous bad person.
Riding in the carriage to Portland City, Lynsey sat silent in the carriage, which was large and had several passengers.
These passengers may not have known each other before, but they are obviously more talkative than Lynsey at this moment, so they have already chatted together.
It wasn't that no one invited Lynsey to join in the conversation as a good way to pass the time, but Lynsey didn't say anything.
Probably felt that the cold breath on Lin Xi's body was like a killer, and there was no sign on his head that "no one should enter", so these passengers retreated and no longer had any intention of inviting Lin Xi to chat.
Linsey crossed his arms and leaned against the sheepskin-hung wall of the carriage, letting the slight jolting of the carriage shake his body, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.
Lin Xi was not worried about An Lina and Tianya of Chulin Academy, not about Manu and the little guy, not about whether the business of the Ricky family would improve, but still felt that his heart was about to kill an innocent person by mistake.
"Anyway, on the premise of knowing that this mission can't be canceled, I really shouldn't think about it anymore, if the target is really innocent, then he will blame me after he dies, I admit it, even if he turns into a ghost and pesters me after his death, I admit it. ”
Thinking of this, Lynsey didn't think about it so much.
I don't know how long it took, but the carriage that was heading for Portland City slowly stopped.
The city of Portland of the Behm Empire appears in front of Lynsey.
Instead of taking the time to admire this beautiful city on the waterfront, Lynsey hired a guide to reach a row of buildings to the east of the center of Portland according to the detailed address provided by the head of the Murder Guild.
The forty-one-year-old middle-aged man named Douglas lived in House No. 3 on the fifteenth floor of the third district.
It was daytime, and there were many residents coming in and out of the place, so no one paid attention to Linxi, who went up to the fifteenth floor smoothly.
After waiting for a while, and finding that no one on this floor had temporarily appeared, Lynsey put her ear to the door of House Three.
A minute later, Lynsey turned decisively and walked down the stairs.
Because he listened for a minute and made sure there was no one in the room.
If there is someone, even if this person holds his breath, he will not be able to escape his divine sense detection, after all, although Douglas is the strength of the late seventh order, but his divine sense is at least the eighth level, no matter how Douglas hides it, it is impossible to escape his divine sense detection.
Moreover, no one else was involved in this assassination operation, and it was almost impossible to leak it out in advance, and if Douglas was inside, he would not have found out that he was coming.
So, Lyncy confirmed that Douglas was not in Portland, the Behm Empire, but somewhere else.
When he accepted this mission, the supervisor gave him two addresses of Douglas's life, in addition to the one he is currently investigating, and one address, which is located in another empire, the Metz Empire.
In other words, he now has to cross the border and enter the Metz Empire.
The Metz Empire is the only empire that Lynsey has not yet visited.
He has been to the four empires on the continent of Noqi, Apomato, Mellon, Behm, and Yaning, and only this last Metz Empire remains.
Fortunately, the transportation in Portland City is very developed, and it didn't take much effort, and Lynsey got into the carriage again, but this time it was the Metz Empire.
After traveling on the road and clearing the border line, it took about eleven days for Lindsey to arrive at Chicago, the target city of the Metz Empire.
The city of Chicago is the second largest city in the Metz Empire after Metz City, almost a quarter the size of Noki.
The Metz Empire was not as seaside as the Bem Empire, and it was almost in a bad geographical environment with the Noqi Empire, so Linxi had to adapt to the climate.
And Chicago is the city where Douglas lives.
Lin Xi made it to a single-family compound in the suburbs.
This is where Douglas lives.
What exactly Douglas was doing, Lynsey hadn't figured out until now, after all, if the Killing Guild didn't reveal this person's information, he couldn't guess from what he saw in front of him.
After all, this single-family courtyard looks no different from the houses of ordinary residents, and if there is any difference, it is that although this house is located in the suburbs, the density of the population cannot be compared with the downtown area, but there are no other houses within a radius of half a mile here!
So, Lynsey is sure that Douglas is not a permanent resident of the area, or rather, he does not grow food and work in agriculture like the natives.
And the intelligence also showed that the two houses where Douglas lived were only used for one person, and Douglas usually stayed in the house and didn't know what he was doing.
But Douglas is definitely a mysterious person, otherwise, no one would have paid for the Murder Guild to kill him.
But what was the direct reason for killing Douglas, Lindsey does not know.
Lynsey listened carefully outside the house for a while, and after making sure that there were no dogs, cats, or other animals in the yard, he jumped quickly and climbed over the wall into the courtyard.
Quietly, on a large locust tree in a conspicuous position, there are several birds chirping crisply.
The door was closed, and it was impossible to see if there was anyone inside.
But Lynsey knew that since Douglass wasn't in Portland City, he had to be here.
Lin Xi began to gather his consciousness and looked inside the house to find out what was going on.
