Chapter Twenty-Three: The Calm of Honkai 2
Nine-Tails had been on the roof of the forty-story building for sixteen hours, and for those sixteen hours, he remained motionless, observing the world from the narrow perspective of his right eye.
Nine-Tails is his code name for this business, but it's not just an ordinary code name.
Any killer must possess the forbearance and cunning of a fox, and the Nine-Tails are the strongest of the fox clan that only exists in myths and legends. Therefore, with the code name of the Nine-Tails, he is also the myth, legend and strongest among the killers.
The people who can ask the Nine-Tails to make a move are all rich and rival the country, and the people who need him to make a move are naturally all safe to the extent of foolproof.
Just like now, the target is the CEO of an international consortium, and at this level, it is impossible not to get the news that someone is going to kill him. The already strict means of protection have been achieved to the extreme.
But during the time that he was being targeted by the Nine-Tails, the other party was still doing work in the opposite building that many people didn't want to see. Nine-Tails' sniper scope has been seen for several hours, but Nine-Tails has been unable to make any attacks.
In the hands of the Nine-Tails is the M82A5, the most powerful sniper rifle in the world right now. Few people use this gun in sniping people, but the Nine-Tails focus more on the power that can kill the opponent than accuracy and stability.
But even the gun in his hand now seems to be a little lacking in power.
The ordinary-looking glass next to the target is bulletproof glass, that's certain, but through the deflection of the sun's rays, the Nine-Tails calculated that the thickness of the glass is a bit unbelievable, and there is more than one layer. If you add the slight curvature of the line of sight in the sniper scope, the Nine-Tails can be sure that the thin layer of glass is simply an entire bulletproof glass room hidden by an optical magic. Not to mention the sniper rifle in the hand, even the main gun of the tank may not be able to penetrate.
But the Nine-Tails waited silently, calculating the speed of his target's movement in various moods - if it couldn't penetrate the glass, then the wall would be pierced.
Bump, bump, bump.
The nine-tailed locked rooftop door was slammed into it.
The Nine-Tails finally retracted the vision that had been in the cramped area for sixteen hours, and then slowly pulled out a fighting short knife from somewhere on his body...... There is no language problem in this sentence.
His action of drawing the knife is indeed slow, but it is impossible to see when he drew the knife, as if the movie suddenly lost a few chastity pictures, and the knife came to his hand in this missing chastity picture.
While drawing the knife, the Nine-Tails had already made a complete analysis of the current situation.
The person knocking on the door now was definitely not sent by the target after discovering it, otherwise it must have been a helicopter gunship. And the one who will hit the door so recklessly will not be the other killers who peek into their strongest position. If these two points are excluded, no matter who is behind the door, it is not worth worrying about.
Choosing to use a knife instead of a gun is not that the Nine-Tails is arrogant and thinks that the other party is not worth using a gun by himself, and the killer with an arrogant mentality is either dead or dead, and the Nine-Tails, who often takes advantage of the other party's various psychology, knows this even more. He uses a knife entirely because he is stronger when he uses a knife than when he uses a gun, even if the opponent is a rabbit, Nine-Tails will kill with all his strength.
Moreover, deaths caused by knives are easier for the police to treat as ordinary criminal cases than guns.
Bump, bump, bump.
The Nine-Tails had approached the door, he was a killer, but he did not indulge in the thrill of killing, and no one other than the target, unless necessary, the Nine-Tails were unwilling to do it. Rather than killing the other party, he hoped that the person who slammed the door would be smart and take the initiative to leave.
Touch.
But the other side is already hopelessly stupid.
Nine-Tails glanced at the mirror that was placed in the gap in the door, just enough to reflect the scene after going out. There was only one figure in the dark hallway.
Gently placing his hand on the door lock, Nine-Tails will cooperate with the opponent's next impact to open the door, and then send the knife into the opponent's heart.
Touch.
Nine-Tails opened the door, and before the door was fully opened, the * in his hand stabbed out accurately according to the trajectory calculated by Nine-Tails.
"Ahh
A scream that seemed to be suppressed in his throat made the knife in the Nine-Tails' hand stick to the other party's clothes.
"Didn't I tell you to stay in the hotel and not run around?" The Nine-Tails carried his hand, which had been injured by the rapid twisting, behind his back, his voice filled with fear and anger.
Behind the door was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl as cute as a doll, and although she was very scared of what had just happened, she seemed to be even more afraid of Nine-Tails getting angry, shaking her head desperately, not bothering to explain the situation to Nine-Tails in sign language. Hurriedly took off the laptop that was slung cross-body on his body and brought the screen in front of the Nine-Tails.
On the screen is an expanded email
-- Beijing, China, unknown mission, the deposit of 100 million US dollars has been received.
Even the Nine-Tails, who had the highest value among the killers, still had a trace of fluctuation on his face when he saw this money. After calming down a little, he whispered to the girl, "You go and buy a ticket to Beijing, China first, and see you at the airport in two hours." ”
The girl nodded obediently, and briskly turned around and ran downstairs.
It took 1 minute for the Nine-Tails to clean up all the traces left here, and it took 10 minutes to go down to the bottom of the building, and his appearance at this time had completely changed to another person.
In the 12th minute, he walked into the building where his target was.
In the 37th minute, Nine-Tails stopped a taxi bound for the airport downstairs like an ordinary white-collar worker in a hurry.
Nine-Tails, who is better at using a knife than a gun, is better at close-quarters assassination than long-range shooting. It's just that in previous operations, he has always carried out sniping. This caused those powerful challengers who misestimated his ability to fall one after another, and if it weren't for this melee assassination just now, this trump card of the Nine-Tails would have been hidden.
It's just that the moment he received that task, his intuition as a nine-tailed told him that if he didn't show something by the strongest means this time, maybe he wouldn't have a chance again in the future......
Those who pass by this chapter have a ticket to keep a ticket, and those who don't have a ticket have a collection, otherwise I really don't know if anyone is reading this book
