Chapter 3 "Death" Chapter 32 Thoughtless and enterprising does not become trouble, and the waves become fearful
Killers are always strong and arrogant, but the more capable they are, the more ordinary they are.
If the face is hideous and the person is full of murderous energy, he is like a butcher. It is better to say that it is a killer, but it is better to say that it is a god-killing person! This guy went to that station, and his face seemed to say: "I will take your life!" A few big words, why not be found out.
Therefore, all those who are on the list are some unknown people, who may be sedan chair drivers, salt merchants, or even shopkeepers with smiling eyebrows in the winery.
Although the above few words may seem inconsequential and insignificant, they are also a small episode to tell the story of this "black beaver".
In today's world, there are sects and Taoist priests to maintain order, and there are wild bandits and robbers to stir up the situation and make it bad, but because of the entanglement of various interests, some problems are difficult to solve openly, and a new force is gradually derived - killers.
At first, these killers were just a group of homeless people who were instructed by others to solve the great trouble of the gold master, and then they were gathered together by a mysterious person to form an assassination organization, called: Xinghuo Gate.
The implication is obvious: a spark can start a prairie fire.
Whoever steps into the Spark Gate has no identity, no name, and no proof of his existence.
According to the strength of the killer, the Xinghuo Gate is divided into the Heavenly Gate, the Earth Gate, and the Human Gate, and each gate is ranked according to the strength of the one, starting from the first to the end of one hundred.
Therefore, Tianmen No. 5, Earth Gate No. 30, Human Gate No. 96, etc. are a new starting point as Xinghuo Gate killers.
But this title is not the end of the killer, as long as you complete the tasks on the Starfire Gate bounty list and get a certain number of points, you can improve your ranking according to your contributions. The higher the ranking, the better the treatment will be, and once new blood joins, those who are squeezed out of the top 100 will disappear forever.
Therefore, compared to the deterrent power of the Xinghuo Gate to the outside world, everyone in the Xinghuo Gate is also walking on thin ice.
However, these are just some people who pursue progress, those who have some ability and have no intention of striving for fame and fortune, they will not be able to mix a few tasks with high or low, but they are not dead or alive and free.
And for many years, no one joined, but the Xinghuo Gate was even more lazy, until one day, an organization called "Zixu" popped up out of nowhere, and actually robbed a lot of their "business", and for a while, the killers were like resentful women, complaining and complaining again and again.
Although in private, these killers complain, but only in words. As long as they don't shake their position, even if Zixu pierces the sky, they will casually pull tiles to cover the top of their heads, and they will be alone. On the contrary, there was a new ghost head inside the Starfire Gate, who kept climbing upwards, all the way from the human gate to the position of the first gate of the earth, which made them very jealous in their hearts.
Although he was afraid, after all, these old ghosts of Tianmen had been standing still for many years, regardless of their strength, even their points were far out of him a few streets away.
At first, these people were not so worried. It wasn't until one day that the 100th Gate found that his points were immediately caught up, and finally had a sense of crisis.
For a while, the people in Tianmen, who were originally lazy and messing around, also found the feeling of working boys, and every day you compete for me to take the task, and your arrogance has long been thrown out of the clouds, even if it is the cold task of killing a wild dog, you have also grabbed your head and blood.
For a while, the outside world has reached a short period of peace and prosperity, and even if you accidentally bump into someone else on the road, you have to kowtow and admit your mistake, for fear that someone will be hung on the bounty list and die.
The world is getting more and more peaceful, but the Xinghuo Gate Tianmen is becoming more and more uneasy, I don't know where this Earth Gate No. 1 came from so many tasks, and the points are increasing day by day.
Although the points of Dimen No. 1 are still some distance away from the top few people in the Tianmen rankings, I don't know which unlucky ghost will be squeezed out of Tianmen. Although it is not fatal to just fall into the earth, the domineering attitude of the Tianmen is usually indispensable, and once it falls into the earth, it is naturally indispensable to be ridiculed and ridiculed.
Finally, someone in the door came up with a brilliant idea, and although everyone hesitated a little, they could only rely on this method for now.
One day, the first gate of the earth finished the task, just returned to the gate, but felt that the atmosphere in the gate was tense, out of the instinct of the killer he also became cautious, pushed open the door of the gate, and then threw the clothes wrapped in the stake into the hall, in an instant, countless cold light instantly split the stake into sawdust.
Just as he was about to fight back, he saw many figures with Tianmen number plates hanging on their waists walking out, praising him for his vigilance again and again.
The leader said that just now was not only a temptation, but also a welcome ceremony to celebrate his imminent entry into the gate of heaven. If he can't even pass this level, there is no need to enter the Heavenly Gate.
Although Dimen No. 1 was displeased, after all, this was indeed the rule of the Xinghuo Gate, and he didn't say anything, he turned around and was about to leave.
But before he could turn around, he was surrounded by the people of Tianmen, and the atmosphere became tense again for a while.
The leader saw him take out his short stick and show a fierce face, and hurriedly walked up to him with a smile and explained, saying that they had a difficult task that everyone needed to complete together, and if it was solved perfectly, the points obtained would be enough for each of them to go to the next level.
Dimen No. 1 does not have any pursuit of points and status, but just wants to keep getting stronger. However, hearing that the task was arduous made him a little interested, and he looked at the person in front of him with burning eyes, but the Tianmen killers around him smiled slyly, with an expression of a fish being hooked.
Seeing that Dimen No. 1 was interested, this person told him about the preparation to assassinate the leader of Zixu, but the latter frowned and hesitated when he heard this.
Although the two killer sects are incompatible, it is not only extremely dangerous to make an unauthorized move, but also not in line with morality, after all, there is no such task on the bounty list of Tianmen.
Listening to Dimen No. 1 ask about his doubts, this person took out a list, which was actually a bounty for the assassination of the false leader. This person handed the list to Dimen No. 1, and then explained that this task was too arduous, so the door owner let people put it on hold, and this time they also heard that this Dimen No. 1 had the ability to complete this task.
Seeing this, Dimen No. 1 saw that the pen and ink on this list had not dried, as if he was in a hurry, and he was also half-convinced, but when the man saw this, he explained that it was the humid moisture in the room, which completely eliminated the doubts of Dimen No. 1, and discussed the time to prepare to go together.
Although the leader of Zixu is not difficult to find, it must be very difficult, and they have secretly followed him for a few days to find out the law of his actions, and finally make a detailed plan.
In order to give Ground One a chance to perform, these Heavenly Gate Killers will lure away a few people around this person, and then let Earth Gate One personally stab this person. Dimen No. 1 naturally did not doubt it, but faintly looked forward to the next action.
Before the Tianmen people separated, they specially instructed the first day of the earth gate to do it when they saw the signal, and then everyone looked at each other and disappeared into the night.
Dimen One nodded, and turned to leave, but he didn't see the ecstasy of the conspiracy under everyone's masks.
As they had always judged, this false leader came to a pavilion in a courtyard, and under the flickering candlelight, he drank by himself, which was very elegant. However, the few people who followed him delayed the future, presumably being led away by the people of Tianmen, so he was relieved.
I saw that this false leader had a delicate face, very young, and seemed to be about the same age as himself. At this time, I don't know who I remembered, I swayed leisurely with my chin on my legs, and there was always a faint smile on the corner of half of my mouth.
After a long time, there was still no signal, which made Dimen No. 1 also have some doubts in his heart, but as a qualified killer, he did not have the slightest anxiety, just like a tanuki, with his limbs against the roof tiles, lurking in the shadows, staring intently at his prey, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Suddenly, in the distant sky, a shining firework lit up, disturbing the clean air in the courtyard, and the eyes of Dizi No. 1 also lit up, bowed up, jumped, and disappeared in place.
"The eyes cover the fireworks, the heart is accompanied by a beautiful woman, the guests are hidden in the hospital, come and have a drink!"
The young man's sudden chant gave him the illusion that the man in front of him seemed to have been waiting for him, but he had no choice but to send it, and he jumped down from the room with his legs, and stabbed the young man in the back of the neck with the short stick in his hand at a tricky angle.
The short stick in his hand was getting closer and closer to the man, only a foot away from the young man, but the young man did not notice it at all, but pinched the wine glass in his hand and drank the last drop of elixir.
With a crisp "click", Dizi No. 1 held the short stick and froze in place, so flustered and at a loss for the first time in his life.
The young man in front of him didn't even turn his head, and his other hand was still holding his chin, maintaining the posture that had just been relaxed, but his body was slightly tilted. The other hand curled up with two fingers, and the third finger steadied the wine glass, and sent it backwards, covering the end of the stick.
The two of them maintained such a strange posture and stalemate, a drop of elixir slipped from the cup and dripped into the young man's neck, the young man gasped, pressed his index finger against the bottom of the cup, and then his middle finger flicked on the bottom of the cup with a slight force. Although the strength was not great, it made Dizi No. 1 numb in his hand, and the short stick flew out of his hand and was stuck obliquely on the ground.
Under the quiet night sky, the cup bounced a few times, and finally it shattered, and it scattered into fragments, like the heart of the word No. 1.
Suddenly, a few hurried footsteps sounded at the door, surrounding the dead face of the ground word No. 1.
"Sir, who is this man?, do you want to kill him?" a woman with an unkind face pulled out her soft sword and was about to do it.
"It's okay, passers-by, come and beg for a drink. The young man waved his hand, motioned for a few people to lower their weapons, filled the empty stone chairs around them, and chatted to themselves.
They talked and laughed and talked casually about the trivial things that happened in the day, as if the number one did not exist.
