Chapter 318: The Wounded Rat (Part II)

Jerry, the name given by his teacher, symbolizes a farewell to him as a human, and the name refers to only an unfortunate and lucky nezumi. He himself did not cherish the name much, just as Callus gave him this inconspicuous and meaningless codename, which itself had no meaning. As an Assassin who wanders in the dark, he doesn't need a loud name, he doesn't need any titles or titles, but if he doesn't have a name, he will become another form of name, and the nameless one is often more noticeable, so Jerry's humble name is the most suitable for him.

"The name doesn't mean much to me, and knowing it doesn't affect me in any way. The rat man's reaction was flat or even indifferent, which somewhat surprised the other party.

Catwoman's expression changed for a moment to be hideous, she couldn't accept that her prey was not acting as she expected, she took a step forward, but quickly retracted her leg as if nothing happened. For no other reason, she was keenly aware of the murderous intent in Jerry's eyes as the latter shortened the distance. He has not given up resistance, on the contrary, the rats that have been driven into a corner are still waiting for the opportunity to fight back. Isn't it amazing? Her hideous expression suddenly changed back to her cruel grace, and she suddenly felt that it was worth the effort to find this place today, and all her efforts were rewarded.

"But if I knew your name, you should at least think about who told me it. There aren't many people in this city who don't call you a mouse, do they?" the cat licked its paws, and she meant.

The nezumi understood what she meant, but this time not only did not panic, but wanted to laugh. The other party just wanted him to realize that the people in the city who knew him the most likely to be found by her were the ones who had shielded him last night, and then led him to think that she had found those people, and forced them to reveal his name and location. The problem is, she wouldn't have thought of what a reliable group of companions the people who had protected him last night, maybe Catwoman was a formidable enemy for Jerry to fight against, but nothing was invincible in the face of the magic of the grey robe, which directly exposed her ignorance.

"It's a grimace to tell you, although he is not bad against his assassins, he is just a broker after all, and he will change his mind if the interests are big enough. Jerry directly pierced the other party's suspicions, and the grimace in his mouth was the previous mask man. As for the brokers, he refers to the intermediaries, and in his position, the people who provide the Assassin Killers with rest, medical care, and the tasks they collect from the market to carry out their work. Grimace, on the other hand, is the most demanding of Assassins in the area, so his business will always be successful, and his reputation will also rise, and many Assassins will use the ability to do business with him as their capital.

The cat-like pupils contracted slightly, but she quickly shook off the little unpleasantness, "Well, it's true that he said it. I found this place with the intention of killing him with me, you know, brokers can't let them know too much. But he offered a condition that I couldn't refuse, a hefty bounty, and I didn't have to continue living this life after making this order. ”

"I thought you liked your life now. Jerry wasn't a murderer, but he was already in the business, so he knew that there were many people who took pleasure in killing.

"That's true, but I can't say no to sparkling gold coins other than I love to play. She said, leaning against the doorframe, unhesitantly admitting that she enjoyed the killing.

She's the last person she wants to be, and the nezumi admonished herself, "So, what does it matter to me that you're going to get that bounty? Or are you just showing off to a dying man?"

"Oh! You know me so well! I really, really, really like that kind of game, a game where they can guess and die. But I don't want to play this game with you today, you're very important. Catwoman spoke horrible words in a soft voice, which made one naturally worry about her mental condition, if these words were from the heart, and not some kind of disguise.

The nezumi felt a slight headache, he couldn't guess the logic of the other party's words, and he didn't know what this so-called important meant. It seems that nothing has to be done by him, he doesn't have any unique skills on him, he can't even condense his qi. Confusion breeds anxiety, and anxiety is captured and turned into pleasure for others. Some people just like to see others suffer, even if it doesn't do them any good.

"You look distressed, and you'd better put those suspicions down first. Because if you keep showing that expression, I'm going to kill you. She played with the throwing knife, the tip of which danced between her fingers.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" asked Jerry in a low voice, as he seemed to have no choice but to succumb to the strength of the other party and save his life. But if so, why did he never let go of the handle of the knife with his outstretched hand, and was he going to kill the aggressive cat with a throwing knife, or was he going to kill someone else? Neat suicide was a must for many Assassins.

Seeing the nezumi take the initiative to mention this, a subtle expression appeared on her face, as if she mistook this for a plea for mercy, "Actually, this matter is very simple. It's nothing more than the trick of those nobles, there is a guy who wants to kill a woman, I have found her, you just need to approach her and find an opportunity to kill her. Well, I can not only spare your life, but also share some shiny gold coins with you, what a good deal. ”

Murder is unexpected and reasonable. If you think about it carefully, what can the deal between the two killers have besides their own lives and the lives of other people? The question is, why should he kill him, and he also specifically stated the condition that he will kill after he is close. It's as if to say that the woman who is going to be killed won't be suspicious of Jerry. But is there such a person in this city?

"Is there anything special about that woman? You can't do it yourself, you have to go to such great lengths to let me come. The inexplicable mission piqued Jerry's curiosity, as a professional assassin, he shouldn't have inquired about such a thing. However, this mission was not voluntarily accepted by him anyway, and there was nothing to worry about if he asked a few more words. Besides, he really didn't want to be kept in the dark by the other party.

"Well, it sounds like she's supposed to be a candidate for queen of a country, and obviously someone doesn't want her to wear a crown just like that. If you want me to say, such a guy is innocent, but it's a pity that I can't watch the future queen breathe in person, that's a queen, I haven't killed such a person yet, it's cheap for you. As for her name, I remember it was Ah, Ada, no, Ata, yes! Her name was Atalanta!"
