Chapter 6: To Gotham City
A day later, in the halls of the League of Assassins. The young assassins who had successfully completed their first combat mission were inspected by the elders with their heads held high www.biquge.info.
They had passed the test of recruits, and now the moment began, and this group of young men became official assassins of the League of Assassins.
"This time, you recruits have completed the Trial, and from now on you are all full members of the Assassin League. The best of these is Altaïr, which you will be rewarded with by this sword. The Assassin Elder who was in charge of the task said in a flat tone as he looked at the trainees of this issue. He was very satisfied with the results achieved by Xiahoulin in the battle.
Although this young man has only been a member of the Assassin League for a short time, he is one of the most outstanding students in this class, and such a talent must certainly be paid attention to.
"I don't need any reward, just let me get out of here." While thinking this in his heart, Xiahou Lin respectfully bent down and accepted the elder's reward. After all, he is still in the League of Assassins, and there is no way to do it if people have to bow their heads under the roof.
The young assassins around him at the same time, looking at Xia Houlin at this moment, showed envy that could not be concealed. Of course, except for the black canary, she was not happy about yesterday's killing. After all, that was the beginning of her first murder with her own hands, and I'm afraid that such days will continue in the future.
"Okay, the rest of the people can disperse now, Altaïr, the four of you follow me for the thunderbolts, the grim reaper, and the sword language." The Assassin Elder ordered four men and walked into the passage ahead without looking back.
Xiahoulin and the other three assassins whose names were called, after looking at each other, immediately followed silently. None of them spoke, because the rule of the alliance was not to ask anything superfluous.
The other young Assassins, who had not been called, left the hall and began to walk towards their resting quarters.
After walking along a wide passage for about five minutes. After entering a room full of weapons, there were several large cabinets around it, and there were many scrolls.
Along with three other companions, Xia Houlin found the Elder Assassin sitting at a table, looking at the four of them who had killed the most enemies in the operation.
"Altaïr, your team is heading to an American city called Gotham City. One of the defectors from the Coalition hid there and went to have him executed on the spot. Anyone who dares to stand in your way will be killed. The Alliance will not tolerate the survival of a betrayer. The elder said in an unquestioning tone, looking at the four young assassins standing in front of him.
After Xia Houlin and the others heard the news, they all silently bent down slightly to salute to indicate that they would complete this task.
The elder was very satisfied with the performance of these young people at the moment, and there were no emotional fluctuations after receiving the order. Calm was an essential part of an Assassin's life.
Of course, each of the traitors in the League of Assassins was a very powerful character, and the elder knew that it was basically impossible for him to accomplish the task with just four young assassins.
"This traitor is tricky, and the Alliance will send four other high-ranking assassins to accompany them. During this time, you will follow them. They will also be your future teachers. As the elder finished speaking, behind the wooden door at the edge of the room, four high-ranking assassins dressed in black stepped out.
These four people don't look like powerful characters at all, they look like ordinary people. However, Xiahoulin and the other three young Assassins knew that these were the best in the Alliance. Because they have already perfected their ability to hide their breath.
These high-ranking assassins often walked into the crowd, completely restraining their aura and quickly blending into their surroundings.
Such assassins are often the most deadly, because they look completely different from ordinary people, so that most of the targets attacked cannot sense the murderous aura and killing intent at all, so they are inadvertently sent to the west by the killers' fatal blows.
Xiahou Lin really didn't expect that he would receive such an order. Head to Gotham City, which is Batman's home turf. And the guy who can defect from the Assassin League is probably not a simple thing.
But the order now had to be completed, and the Assassins' punishment for defeat was not so pleasant. Of course it was also a good opportunity, a great opportunity to get out of this place.
The Assassins' operation was very efficient, and the night after the mission was issued. Xiahoulin and his entourage took a helicopter and took advantage of the night to leave this dense vegetation mountain.
After two years in a helicopter ride into the famous world of comics, Charhoorin is finally able to re-enter modern society.
Although Xia Houlin was very happy in his heart, he didn't dare to show anything. If someone sees what is really going on in your heart, it is a very troublesome thing.
After a three-hour helicopter ride, Xiahoulin and the others came to the outside of a port. Then they boarded a passenger ship bound for the United Arab Emirates, and a day later, the eight of them, with the help of the waiting staff, took their identification and passports and boarded an international flight to Gotham City in the United States.
When Xiahoulin and his party arrived in Gotham City, it was already night. At this moment, Gotham City at night, the sky is cloudy, and the strange Gothic buildings stand tall, under the illumination of various lights, it looks so prosperous and beautiful.
However, for the traveler Xiahoulin, it is clear that Gotham City is a bustling American metropolis on the surface. However, the old neighborhoods and alleys are places where dirt is hidden, and all kinds of illegal things are emerging one after another.
The city has arguably one of the highest crime rates in the United States, and only a dark enforcer like Batman can use his unique horror methods to deter criminal activity here.
"This is the night in Gotham City, it is really prosperous and decaying at the same time." In the hotel room where the group stayed, Xia Houlin condescendingly looked at the dimly lit old neighborhoods in the distance. It's a place where crime is frequented and frequented by Batman.
If you want to break away from the Assassin Alliance, then in the course of this mission, it is undoubtedly the best choice. Of course, the premise is that someone needs to help, and the first thing that comes to Xiahoulin's mind is Batman.
Batman, a superhero in the DC world, can be described as a veritable knight of the dark world in Gotham City. The power he wields is unimaginable.
Backed by the huge Wayne Group, it has a wide variety of high-tech tools. The network of relationships and intelligence is even more complex than it is unimaginable.
"Altaïr, Master Simon has asked us to come over, something to explain." The young assassin, nicknamed the Grim Reaper, arrived to inform Xiahoulin. This young man was second only to himself in the last battle in the number of enemies he had killed.
And those enemies who died at the hands of the Grim Reaper, without exception, were killed with one hit. It can be said that this young assassin is completely worthy of his nickname. A scimitar makes it superb, and it is even more difficult to guard against when fighting.
"Yes!" After Xia Houlin replied in a simple tone, he turned around and walked towards the direction of the living room with the Grim Reaper.
In the spacious living room of this suite, only the high-ranking assassin known as Simon was present. The other three high-ranking assassins, after dropping off their belongings in the hotel, went out to meet with the answering staff.
The Assassin League felt pervasive because of their vast intelligence network. There are undercover personnel all over the world who can provide useful intelligence and support in a timely manner as the Alliance conducts operations.
In order to ensure the security and secrecy of the intelligence network, the people in charge of the connection are all high-level assassins. A young assassin like Xiahoulin was not qualified to obtain this kind of information.
After seeing the four young Assassins gathered in the living room, the high-ranking Assassin with an Arab face named Simon threw a picture at Charhoorin.
The fluttering photo was like a flying knife at the moment, and it flew over in a swirling way. In the hands of the high-ranking Assassins of the League of Assassins, even a piece of paper can be turned into a murderous weapon.
Xia Houlin faced this flying photo, and quickly grabbed a corner of the photo with his right hand. Seeing this scene, Simon's indifferent eyes flashed with a look of appreciation.
"The man in the photo is the traitor to be executed this time, his name is Prisoner No. 8????" Simon looked at the four young Assassins and began to tell them about the target.
The middle-aged man in the photo, who has the appearance of an East Asian, was originally a high-ranking assassin and alchemist in the League of Assassins. More than a decade ago, he was a promising assassin in the Alliance.
However, the high-ranking assassin became a little enchanted by the study of alchemy, and immediately began various experiments. He even used the members of the alliance to test the alchemy elixir he developed.
As a result, the consequence of indiscriminate use of drugs was that many assassins who had taken secret drugs went berserk. led to the loss of the alliance's high-level combat power, but this guy still continued to develop his secret medicine.
In the end, the Master Assassin imprisoned the alchemist, who was obsessed with secret medicine, in the dungeon of the headquarters for causing casualties to the Alliance.
Because the accident caused by the master alchemist affected the reputation of the Assassin League, his real name was eliminated. Referred only to the number of the cell in which they were held - Prisoner No. 8.
