32 · Bodhi Village
["The reason for killing is more important to you than knowing the target?"]
If it weren't for the last resort, Azhuo wouldn't be here.
To the common people, this is an ordinary cottage called "Bodhi Village", which is rich in Bodhi hand beads, and for some people, it is a terrifying killer city.
It is rumored that the Killer City has been standing for more than ten years because the city lord and a certain minister of the imperial court are in-laws, and they do all kinds of evil, and they always turn a blind eye. The killers also know how to measure things, and even if some crazy guys try to spend thousands of dollars to buy the heads of important ministers in the court, they will refuse without exception.
However, there are always exceptions to everything, and several killers in Killer City are willing to go to the trouble for this money.
In fact, money is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the impact after killing those important ministers. Those who dare to move the imperial court are all deeply trusted by the city lord, and even if the Jinyi Guard tracks them down, they will never find Bodhi Village - doing things without a trace is the reason why they dare to take a lot of money.
That's the kind of person Azhuo wants to meet this time.
Ah Zhuo had asked for Bodhi Village many years ago, and now he has returned, because of his special status, he has been warmly entertained by the city lord.
The city lord understood that with Ah Zhuo's character, he would never come to such a place without trouble, so he introduced Ah Zhuo to the master of Bodhi Village who could assassinate important officials of the imperial court.
Bodhi Village is built next to the mountain, from the usual point of view, it is a remote cottage that is not very developed, and most of the wooden buildings are eroded by moisture, leaving traces of mold everywhere.
But the true face of Bodhi Village is in the mountains.
The mountain is full of dense and complex passages, even people who grew up in the mountains can't recognize them all, all the dark passages in Bodhi Village are under the control of the city lord, and he has the most detailed map.
But these things have nothing to do with Ah Zhuo, as long as he sees someone, give him the money, and let him take the head.
Kill someone, it's that simple.
The thin man who greeted Ah Zhuo was a typical Bodhi villager, and Ah Zhuo might not know what kind of characteristics these people had, but their gestures were so neat, as if the whole person was the embodiment of a sword.
He had brown and black hair, bulging cheekbones that framed his face with threat, a pair of eyes that were not too large, and lips of ordinary width. Throughout the Western Dynasties, thousands of similar looks can be found, which is exactly what the killer needs.
Ah Zhuo suspected more than once that there was someone in Bodhi Village who specialized in transforming people's faces.
"It's Azhuo. ”
"It's me. ”
"The city lord asked me to take you to meet the ninth-level floating slaughter. ”
In Bodhi Village, the killers are divided into three, six, nine and so on according to the number of heads and difficulty, among which the strongest killer is the 'Ninth Level Futu', these people all have the ability to assassinate important ministers of the imperial court, as for the number of people, according to Ah Zhuo's understanding, no more than ten people, and they rarely come to Bodhi Village.
Zhuo had good luck this time.
"Please come with me. ”
Azhuo followed him into the dimly lit tunnel.
To ensure that he could breathe, there were few lights in the tunnel, and Azhuo could barely see the road ahead by the light coming through the gap.
They walked through many doors, up and down, and finally stopped in front of a secret room.
"Please come in. ”
Azhuo didn't thank the killer who led the way, and as the door opened, he couldn't wait to enter the secret room.
The door of the secret room closed completely, and the killer sitting in the dim light spoke: "Lord Xu, I haven't seen you for many years. ”
Ah Zhuo - Xu Siyou - frowned dissatisfied: "You should know that now my name is Ah Zhuo." ”
The killer laughed, "It's really outside." ”
Azhuo looked at the killer in the flickering lamplight, and the bronze urn in front of him was billowing green smoke.
The last time I saw him was eight years ago, when the killer was still a seventh-level floating slaughter, and his appearance was even younger.
Now, like himself, he can't escape the hardships of the years, and his once angular face is now a little more bloated and rich, and Ah Zhuo is a little worried about whether he can handle this mission.
"You're a ninth-level floating slaughter now. Azhuo said.
"yes. ”
The killer placed the ninth-level floating tower in front of him.
This is a small component with a small structure that is not complicated, and the appearance of each floor of the tower is the same, as long as you promote one level, you can build a tower on the top of the tower.
It's such a simple thing, but behind it is countless blood and heads, as well as a broken family.
"When's it. ”
"It was many years ago. ”
Azhuo swallowed.
He has asked for Bodhi Village, but he always thinks about how to completely remove this evil flower, he has been doing these things secretly for a long time, but the time has not yet come.
"Ah Zhuo, I know what you're thinking," the killer had known him for a long time and knew his grand cause, "Even if the Bodhi Village is destroyed, we killers are still there, as long as we are still here, the Bodhi Village will appear again." ”
"I understand that I'm not here to talk about these trivialities. ”
Azhuro bowed his head.
He's always strutted with his head held high, but this time he's confused.
He wasn't sure if he was going to say the right thing, he would either be remembered for thousands of years or forever.
But he came here thousands of miles away at great risk, and he already knew it in his heart.
"Why do you want to kill him?" the killer broke the silence.
"I haven't said who it is. ”
Azhuo looked up and looked at the killer suspiciously. He couldn't have known who he wanted to kill, and no one in the whole world would know.
"Everyone kills for their own reasons, even if it's crazy. This is especially true for you, the employers who came to Killer City in person. ”
The killer put away the ninth-level floating slaughter and leaned back in a wide chair, waiting for Azhuo's reply.
"What is more important to you than to know the target?"
"Equally important. The killer replied quietly.
Zhuo stopped talking.
He knew that if he spoke again, there would be no turning back. No matter whether things succeed or fail, he will walk into the abyss for the rest of his life, and as for the afterlife, let's leave it for the rest of his life.
"For the sake of the Onishi Dynasty. ”
The killer was visibly stunned when he heard this.
He has used money to kill people for so many years, and no one will say such a high-sounding reason for killing, but he also knows that the Chinese book in front of him, named Ah Zhuo, is not the kind of person who likes to laugh.
His curiosity was piqued.
He could even guess what words he was about to hear from Zhuo.
"Interesting. Who will kill to save Onishi today?"
The killer said, tapping lightly on the bronze urn placed in front of the two of them.
"Tell me, who are you going to kill?"
"I, Azhuo, hired you to kill—"
This is the rule of Bodhi Village: employers must name their own name along with their target, even if it is a pseudonym.
"Holy today. ”
Azhuo's voice drifted softly through the chamber.
