Chapter 230: Jing Teng's Troubles
"Really, great!" Yang Xiaotian didn't pay attention to Jing Teng's tone, his eyes flashed, his face was full of smiles, and he exclaimed!
Jing Teng saw that Yang Xiaotian was so happy, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, looking at Yang Xiaotian who was happy in front of him, he is indeed a person with a true temperament, other people's affairs are more concerned than his own, maybe this is the sincerity that really moved him, he saw the true friendship in Yang Xiaotian, it was full of warmth and sincerity.
For a long time, Jing Teng looked at him silently, and finally, Yang Xiaotian saw some clues under Jing Teng's smile, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Oh, no, I was about to say thank you! Jing Teng smiled faintly and said.
"No, I saw something else in your eyes, Brother Jing Teng, if you want to treat me as a brother, just say it. Yang Xiaotian felt that something was wrong, put away his smile, looked directly at Jing Teng in front of him, and said seriously.
Jing Teng had no choice, after all, as a killer, he was a straightforward character, and it was really difficult for him to pretend that he had nothing to do, especially when Yang Xiaotian's eyes stared at him, his heart was even more empty, so he said the concerns in his heart: "I know that you are for my good, to be honest, the year I spent with you was the happiest time I have been in years, and I also look forward to one day being like Lan Ze, Like Elder Li Mu, he spent the rest of his life cultivating students, not killing people, and I also yearn for this kind of carefree life. β
Yang Xiaotian listened to Jing Teng's meaning, and he was very willing to come to the academy to be an elder in his heart, so why was he worried! Perhaps he was worried that he would not be able to attend classes well, so Yang Xiaotian comforted: "Then you will come to the academy to be an elder! Didn't Vice Dean Luo agree? In addition, you are strong in martial arts and have rich practical experience, which is exactly what the academy needs. β
"I'm not worried about this!" Jing Teng shook his head directly and said. Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was still widening his eyes and listening carefully, he continued: "I don't worry at all about being an elder, I believe that I will definitely be competent, but the biggest problem is the Killer Society. β
"Killer Society?" Yang Xiaotian finally understood Brother Jing Teng's concerns, but his eyes were still full of doubts as he looked at Jing Teng.
Jing Teng nodded, then looked up slightly at the straight green bamboo outside the courtyard, as if he had regained his confidence, and explained: "As the saying goes, once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, not to mention the hierarchical killer society. β
Yang Xiaotian seemed to understand one point, isn't the reason why the Killer Society is so mysterious and unknown to outsiders precisely because of the strict mechanism within the society? If a person can quit the club casually, then in the past few hundred years, no matter how mysterious the society is, it will have long been known to the world.
Jing Teng didn't think that Yang Xiaotian could understand the reason, so he continued: " Killer Society, easy to enter, over ten years old can be, as long as it is voluntary to join, there will be an institution dedicated to cultivating new people in the society, teach you the ability to kill, when the time comes, they will conduct an assessment, if the assessment can't pass, they will be given another chance, if they still can't pass, they will be killed, because they don't want to see people who have not passed the assessment, go outside and talk nonsense, and the people who kill them are with them, people who have just passed the assessment, this is the first task of all of us who have passed the killer assessment, which is to kill unqualified companionsγ Jing Teng said this, paused, and in his eyes, he clearly saw moist eyes.
Yang Xiaotian gasped, and unconsciously appeared in his mind a teenager who was being blindfolded, kneeling on the ground, sticking out his neck, waiting for his companions to be killed.
Jing Teng calmed down for a moment and continued: "This kind of competition for survival of the fittest can indeed tap out the potential in our bodies, but in the same way, there will be disadvantages, the killer who stands out will completely annihilate human nature and become a beast, and such a person is exactly what they need, a killing machine." β
"Killing machine!" Yang Xiaotian couldn't help but say it again, and he couldn't help but feel a cold sweat on his back.
"Yes, killers are the most emotionless animals, in their eyes there are only tasks and killings. Jing Teng's face was pale, his eyes were wooden, his whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and his fingers trembled.
"But you're not!" Yang Xiaotian stretched out his hands and held Jing Teng's trembling hands, expecting to give him warmth.
It took a long time for Jing Teng to return to the original state, to
Yang Xiaotian cast a grateful gaze and continued: "After completing the task, you can get a small amount of compensation, and a large part of it will be confiscated as funds to maintain the normal operation of the company, in fact, this is a very ridiculous thing, because the funds to maintain the normal operation of the company are actually used to support those who kill those who violate the rules, that is to say, a large part of the funds are used to support those who kill us in the future." β
"What is considered a violation of the rules?" Yang Xiaotian asked nervously, at this moment, he seemed to have an ominous premonition.
"The first is the person who is captured after the mission fails, and the second is the person who is greedy for profit and destroys the credibility of the killer society. Jing Teng said slowly, and then felt a stuffiness in his chest, so he paused for a while, trying to cough out.
Yang Xiaotian thought that Brother Jing Teng had finished speaking, and he breathed a sigh of relief, he could understand the first and second cases, the first situation, after the killer was captured, under the severe torture of the enemy, it was easy to mutiny, so they must establish a rule for killing prisoners, so that the killer knew that as long as he was caught, he would definitely die. As for the second point, it is even clearer, to prevent the killer from seeing that the employer has a lot of money and doing it when he sees the money, which will even more damage the credibility of the killer company.
"There is also a third situation, the person who has quit the company. Jing Teng finally felt more comfortable and continued.
"Ah! Withdrawing from the club is also against the rules, and you have to accept the law enforcement within the club?" Yang Xiaotian looked at Brother Jing Teng in shock, as if he couldn't believe that the Killer Club still had such rules.
Jing Teng understood the doubts in Yang Xiaotian's heart, so he nodded and said helplessly: "Once you enter the killer club, you will be a killer for life!"
"I don't believe it, there must be some way!" Yang Xiaotian grabbed Brother Jing Teng's hands, wanting to give him the courage to continue living, if this was the case, then he originally wanted to help Brother Jing Teng get rid of his career as a killer and enter the academy, but it hurt him! Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotian felt a little guilty in his heart.
Jing Teng lowered his head and fell into deep thought, he was hesitating, there is indeed a way to quit the society, but that road is nine deaths, if he continues to be a killer, then with his decades of killer experience, he may be able to live to old age, but if he really walks on that road, he may die tomorrow.
"Speak!" Yang Xiaotian said when he saw that Jing Teng didn't speak, and he was very anxious.
Jing Teng slowly raised his head and stared at Yang Xiaotian's longing gaze, as if he had found his way at the crossroads of life. Yes, we may be able to live to old age in the Killer Society, but what's the point? Being sent to be a killing machine all day long, why don't you give it a fight, and if you succeed, you can pursue a happy and free life like ordinary people, and if you fail, it is nothing more than death! Thinking of this, a common saying suddenly appeared in his mind: "Some people are alive and dead, and some people are alive when they die." Jing Teng was even more determined in this decision, but now is not the time.
I saw Jing Teng nodding firmly, and said: "Now the King of Qi may harm you at any time, after this period of time, let's talk about quitting the society!"
Yang Xiaotian listened, his face became very ugly, he didn't want Jing Teng to delay the major event of retiring from the society because of his matter, I saw him frowning, turned his head to look at the fence courtyard wall, thought for a moment, his pupils suddenly constricted, and then turned his head to look at Brother Jing Teng, his eyes were firm and focused, and said: "Don't take my affairs to heart, now that we are in the Imperial Capital Academy, it is impossible for him to come to kill me blatantly and recklessly, it must be carefully planned, and it is a long-term process, and now there is Uncle Jian here!" It doesn't make a difference for you to stay here. On the contrary, for the major event of quitting the society, you have to hurry up and strive to come back before the start of school, so that you can officially become an elder, so that you can always protect me!"
Yang Xiaotian knew that if he just said not to worry, Brother Jing Teng would definitely not listen to his opinion, and he had to explain in detail, why he didn't have to worry about his comfort, and he had to be reasonable, so he could listen.
Sure enough, Yang Xiaotian's words seemed to move Jing Teng, only to see his eyes looking directly at Yang Xiaotian, as if to confirm, is it really possible? After getting Yang Xiaotian's affirmative eyes, he put his mind at ease.
Then he nodded heavily.
"Great, I know the path of the Heavenly Path, there must be a way!" Yang Xiaotian heard this, and in an instant, he smiled happily, and even his eyes exuded joy, as if Brother Jing Teng had stepped out of the Killer Society.
"How?"
Jing Teng hesitated for a moment, looking at Yang Xiaotian's eager gaze, knowing that if he didn't say it, he would definitely not give up, in order not to worry him, Jing Teng said lightly: "Complete a task." β
How similar the two are in their dealings with each other!
"Is it dangerous?" Yang Xiaotian asked with concern.
Jing Teng's eyes became moist, and his heart was very moved, because before all the problems, the first thing Yang Xiaotian thought of was his safety, brother, what else did he have to worry about! So he patted Yang Xiaotian on the shoulder and said, "Don't you still believe in your eldest brother's strength? I will definitely come back after completing the task." As he spoke, he showed a slightly chilling smile, which was his signature smile.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian was relieved, and said seriously: "If you need soul coins, just say, don't be polite to me, I can still get a million soul coins." β
Jing Teng smiled and nodded, but the tears fell uncontrollably, this was the first time he had cried in decades, his eyes had moistened several times before, but they were all swallowed by his rock-solid heart, but this time he couldn't hold back.
