Chapter 12: Shengge
On the street, Qu Yuanxin gasped for breath, and there was a tingling burning sensation on his face.
The burning sensation was getting worse and worse, and the mask had become like hot molten iron.
And even though the wind was blowing refreshingly, he still had a feeling of being stuffed in a thick quilt, almost suffocating.
"This time the mask seems to have been worn for too long, and there will be side effects when using the ability, damn it!!" Qu Yuanxin stumbled down the deserted street as he grabbed the edge of the mask, trying to tear it off his face.
Pulling the mask hard, but it felt like he was tearing the skin of his face, and the feeling of pain made him want to jump to his feet and scold his mother.
He could feel that the skin below the neck was gradually becoming rougher, and even more and more feathers appeared, and he stood under the flickering street lamp, looking down at the back of his hand, and he was shocked to find that there were one or two pitch-black feathers on the back of his hand, and the skin began to become charred, and there were lines that were unique to the feet of birds.
"The sequelae are so serious?" After all, Qu Yuanxin hadn't been in contact with the crow mask for a long time, and almost everything had to be explored by himself.
Based on his own judgment, he concluded that this crow's mask might not be worn for too long, and even after wearing it, he should not activate the ability too often, otherwise he would be in trouble.
After all, he is a first-hand experiencer, Qu Yuanxin will feel more or less when he uses the mask ability again and again, this mask seems to be trying to assimilate himself, and every time he uses the ability, he will get closer to his own skin.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt panicked, at this time, the crow had already flown out of the hospital, standing on the traffic light and watching Qu Yuanxin struggle, his dark eyes began to emit a reddish light.
Qu Yuanxin roared and began to pull the mask frantically, as if he had peeled off a layer of skin with his own hands.
In the severe pain, Qu Yuanxin was ruthless in his heart, and he shouted angrily and tore hard again, like a drowning person, with the illusion of not being able to breathe, under the tension, he didn't care about anything else, and pulled it with all his strength!
"Thorn la ......" Finally, after a puff of green smoke rose from his face, Qu Yuanxin pulled off the mask out of breath, he sat on the ground and gasped heavily, a wave of exhaustion suddenly hit, and he felt drowsy.
His muscles shrank back to their original shape, his shoes were no longer crappy, and he rubbed his face, feeling a boiling heat, but fortunately, when the mask was torn off, the feeling of suffocation disappeared, and the air became very fresh.
The mask spontaneously burrowed into his palm, following his skin back to the position of his left arm.
The wind was howling, the lights were bright in the distance, and he was alone in the wind.
He wanted to rest and go home, but at this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Hey, you're not him." ”
Qu Yuanxin turned his head suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost, leaving all his tiredness behind, and was shocked in his heart: "Who are you?!!"
One man came out of the shadows.
This person, wearing a black windbreaker and a fisherman's hat, is the most conspicuous in his silver-white suitcase, because Qu Yuanxin knows that there is a sniper rifle that can be assembled!!
Finding Qu Yuanxin staring at his suitcase, the man couldn't help but smile and said in a strange accent: "You're not a crow, but you have his mask, how did you get it?"
"Do you know the original owner of this crow?" Qu Yuanxin was shocked.
"Yes, when I first became a killer, he did me a favor and I was able to complete an almost impossible task. The man smiled shallowly and looked at Qu Yuanxin face to face on the windswept street.
"You're a killer?"
"Isn't that obvious?" his accent is very much like that of a foreigner, but judging by his appearance, he is an authentic dragon country.
"Hehe, actually, I'm glad to see the crows again, because I've had a tricky task lately, and I think I have a better chance of getting out if I can get out of it with the help of the crows. ”
"You want to find a crow?"
"What are you talking about...... Murder?" Qu Yuanxin was inexplicably vigilant, he can say that he has only seen it from novels or TV movies in the killer industry, who would have thought that it really existed in the real world?
Seeing Qu Yuanxin's vigilant appearance, the man smiled, left the suitcase with both hands, and waved his hand at him: "Don't be excited, don't be nervous, I have a good relationship with the crow, and if it's a genuine crow, I want to kill you, it's still a little difficult, how about it, can you take me to meet the first crow?"
"I don't think I can do it. ”
"Oh?"
"Because I lost contact with him. ”
"That's a ...... It's terrible. The man's expression was a little helpless, and he shook his head, but suddenly his eyes lit up again, and he smiled at Qu Yuanxin and said, "Now you are a crow?"
"Crow, I'll leave it at that. Qu Yuanxin's appearance of taking off the mask happened to be seen by the other party, and there was no point in pretending to be stupid at this time.
"That'...... Why don't you help me? Don't worry, I'll pay you. ”
"Money?" It's okay not to mention money, but at the mention of money, Qu Yuanxin was almost going crazy, and he actually yelled at the man: "Your uncle, do you know how much money you caused me to lose just now?"
"Oh, oh, young man, it's not a gentleman to swear. ”
Qu Yuanxin is still sensible, knowing that if he wants to fight this guy, he may be the one who suffers, and the other party may be in awe of Uncle Seven's crow, after all, Uncle Seven is a veteran, but Qu Yuanxin has just taken over the crow, Uncle Seven can deal with him, and he Qu Yuanxin is not necessarily his opponent. When the swear words came to their mouths, they were swallowed back again.
"Oh, young man, money is not a big problem, if you can help me with this task, I can give you seven of the proceeds of the mission. ”
Qu Yuanxin frowned, can this person be trusted?
But when he opened his mouth to answer, he said something else: "What are you talking about seventy percent?"
"Well, I did the math, it's about 35 million. ”
"Hiss......" Qu Yuanxin gasped.
"Mi Yuan ......"
"Sub-Olympic !!"
"Young people, don't swear......"
Qu Yuanxin tried his best to calm down: "What is the identity of the other party, so valuable, you killers are so easy to make money?"
"It's not, young man, I can't tell you the identity of the other party right now, unless you agree to cooperate with me to complete this task, and one more thing, to be honest, I don't have much confidence in this mission, but I can't help it, my ranking is dropping, and if I don't do some difficult tasks anymore, my situation will be very embarrassing. ”
"Ranking?"
Seeing that Qu Yuanxin really didn't understand anything at all, the other party couldn't help but chuckle, then rubbed his nose and patiently explained: "My code name is called Shengge, Shengge, a song that has left the dead, ranked 22nd on the world's killer list." ”
Qu Yuanxin doesn't have the slightest concept of this, and the 22nd is actually a bit low-end in his opinion, after all, there is no top three, so he is embarrassed to show off?
The other party didn't pay attention to Qu Yuanxin's secretly disdainful eyes, and said with a smile: "The world ranking was originally very stable, and the killer is scored according to the number of tasks you take, the difficulty, and whether you have completed it or not, under normal circumstances, unless there is a very powerful killer, who takes on various difficult tasks along the way and can kill the target every time, it is difficult to change the ranking of the top 30, but ......"
"What?"
"But recently, Eve has appeared in the rice country, and genetic technology has appeared in the tea country, so that the rice country people and the tea country people have been close to the water, where can we ordinary killers, where can we confront them with those who have high-tech means, the ranking has begun to loosen, and under me, there have been many killers in the rice country and the tea country who have quickly climbed up. ”
Qu Yuanxin suddenly realized, and he suddenly remembered that the hacker list that Ouyang said earlier had also been turned upside down by the program extended by Eve of the United States.
It turns out that there are many invisible places in the world, which have been quietly affected by the high technology of these countries, but Qu Yuanxin has not been greatly affected because of the low level of life.
Sheng Ge said: "The crow back then helped me a lot, I was very good friends with him, and even he would often send me some tasks because he was too busy to do so, so I didn't have to be too wary of me." ”
"You are so sure that my crow was obtained from the original crow, and how can you be sure that I obtained it by normal means, and not by killing people and stealing goods?"
"Aha......" the man laughed: "You are really humorous, in the Dragon Kingdom, no, in the world, there are probably only a handful of people who can snatch the crow, as for you, I think you seem to be just a fledgling, and it is impossible to snatch the crow away, besides, the possibility of the crow dying of illness is almost zero, so I can actually conclude that your crow was given to you by him himself, as for the reason, I still don't know." ”
"It turns out that Uncle Seven is such a powerful person, but he gave me a crow......" Qu Yuanxin thought in his heart, inexplicably a little excited, because he thought of something, he immediately asked: "Mr. Shengge, what can a crow do, do you understand?"
"What can a crow do?" the man was slightly stunned, "I know a lot, but after all, I have been with him for a long time." ”
"You tell me, tell me everything you know, including the last crow!!"
"Then you assist me in my mission to keep my world ranking ......"
"Haha, if you think I have the ability, I'...... Huh......" When Qu Yuanxin laughed, he obviously felt that his strength was a little insufficient, and after inhaling a big breath in his lungs, he obviously felt dizzy, he looked up at Shengge in a black windbreaker in a daze, and then his eyes turned black and unconscious.
"Oh, are you overworked? Sheng Ge smiled lightly, pressed the brim of his hat, and slowly walked towards Qu Yuanxin: "Lucky for you, I'm not lying to you, otherwise you won't know how to die if you die." ”
