The driver fell asleep on the steering wheel, and I banged on the window for two minutes before he woke up sleepy-eyed.

We got into the car and the car drove slowly towards the hospital.

In the early morning, Jinan City is full of vitality, and morning runners are seen on the street from time to time, with towels tied around their necks and headphones hanging on their ears.

Tang Sang fell asleep again, sleeping in a tranquil posture and without worry.

I turned my face to look at her, and I couldn't help but wonder if her appearance was a gift from heaven or a trick.

In the future, I will devote myself to training to assassinate the Lord of the Sharks, and I have no time or mood to take care of her. Moreover, the outcome of the assassination is unknown, and even if I succeed, the chances of me getting out are close to zero.

She called me "brother-in-law" and relied on me wholeheartedly, and soon became a concern and even a burden to me. If something happens to me, won't I hurt her again?

In my sleep, Tang Sang suddenly turned sideways, his head resting on my waist, his arms naturally wrapped, and his right elbow was clasped.

I couldn't bear to push her away, but it was so bad that it made me feel low again.

The driver was understanding, drove the car into the underground parking lot of the hospital, and quietly got out of the car and left.

Tang Sang slept for two hours before waking up, and during those two hours, I sat with my eyes closed, and my mind repeatedly reviewed the main points of the attack of the wooden stake, the pear-shaped ball, and the spring hammer.

The Tang Gate poison can kill anyone or even everyone it encounters, but it can't lead us straight to the lair of the Lord of the Sharks.

I need living people who can show the way, not dead people strewn all over the ground.

The reason why the Tang Sect in Shuzhong has not dominated the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years is precisely because its successive heads have misunderstood the concept of "living and dead".

If there are only dead people left on the rivers and lakes, then what's the point of dominating the rivers and lakes?

Only by controlling the hearts of the people and gaining the trust and support of the people can the hegemony be forever firm and indestructible.

"Brother-in-law, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry, I overslept. Tang Sang got up in a panic and apologized to me again and again.

I pulled her out of the car, sorted her clothes, and took her back to the hospital room by elevator.

Zhang Quanzhong and Jingguan Xiaowu were already waiting for us in the ward, and their expressions were so solemn, as if they had just completed an ice sculpture.

"Everything went well. "I'll report the good news first, not the bad news," the Buddha head shot out, in exchange for twelve gold bars. ”

Jingguan Xiaowu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and blurted out hello.

"Are there any other discoveries?" asked Zhang Quanzhong.

When I was in the parking lot, I had already combed through all the situations in the ghost market of the shark people at night. In fact, with Zhang Quanzhong's strength, he can send people to track everyone involved in the ghost market, continue to do it, and then record all the information in the case to do a unified common analysis.

It's a stupid idea, but it's the easiest job to get started with.

Roughly calculated, if there are 300 to 500 sharks living in the city for a long time, then in a month, you can collect everyone's movement routes and daily trajectories. Further screening and streamlining can obtain about 100 typical samples, and then carry out directional tracking at more precise frequencies. This process is repeated three times, and the final focus will be reduced to about ten. Then, tracking these ten people around the clock will definitely find the right way to the lair of the Lord of the Merman.

These are the words that I have thought about and have not mentioned to anyone. However, when I solemnly looked at Zhang Quanzhong, I got the most timely and accurate feedback from his eyes.

He told me with his eyes that the work was already underway.

I nodded, and it was all in plain sight.

"If you can hold it, I'll show you some expansions. Zhang Quanzhong said.

Without waiting for me to nod or shake his head, he had already turned on the computer and continued to add: "The information was just received last night, looking at the satellite coordinates, the incident happened on a coral island off the coast of the Pacific Ocean, and the location is probably on the line connecting the two cities of Tokyo in Japan and Seoul in South Korea, and it happens to be on the 50-kilometer high sea passage at the junction of the two countries' sea borders. On such a desert island, even if a mass murder occurs, the two countries will not take the initiative to take responsibility, but will try to pass the buck as much as possible and develop it into a diplomatic incident. By the way, the information reported was a killing incident, and the real name of the person killed was unknown, and there was only one code name - 'Yue Guan'. ”

A shaky image appeared on the computer screen, presumably taken by a hidden pinhole camera, shaking violently as the photographer stumbled forward.

I've heard the name "Yue Guan", a great assassin who has run rampant in Southeast Asia. The reason why he got such a code name is because he used to be a high-ranking spy of the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense, and his rank is equivalent to that of the deputy defense minister, that is, the senior official of the Vietnamese country. Being an assassin was his obsession, and he went to West Point and Navy SEAL field training camps to learn assassination techniques.

There is no doubt that "Yue Guan" has a great talent for assassins, while doing his spy work, he also takes over the assassination mission on the rivers and lakes part-time and completes it well, and has continuously counterattacked on the list of assassins in the rivers and lakes, and has been among the top ten last year, and his achievements have surpassed most professional assassins.

"It is likely that his body will appear in a few days in the government square of the capital of the Yue Kingdom, he is a good killer, but it is not enough to assassinate the Lord of the Sharks. Zhang Quanzhong continued.

The entire video lasted seven minutes, and when I counted down to 30 seconds, the picture turned 90 degrees, and it didn't shake again. That proves that the photographer has been decapitated, the body has fallen, and the pinhole camera is no longer shaking.

The screen looped and I was engrossed in staring at the computer screen, remembering everyone who appeared on it.

Now, the killer of the dead is Yue Guan, and we are all spectators. One day in the future, the person who dies on a desert island may be me, being watched through the screen by all the enemies of the Lord of the Sharks in the world.

The more I get to know each other, the more likely I am to survive.

"Slow down at an eighth. I reminded Zhang Quanzhong loudly.

I had no intention of ordering him, but at the moment I was curled up on the couch, my whole mind immersed in the image, unwilling to change any posture to ensure that my thoughts flowed.

When the speed of one-eighth is slow, the picture is much clearer, and the murderer's clothing, weapons, and movements can be seen clearly. So, I noticed a man in black wearing golden boots.

He was indeed wearing "golden" boots at his feet, and the ankle-high shafts were inlaid with various gold ornaments, which glittered in the light of the torches. The tips of the boots are covered with large pieces of gold, and as you walk, you kick away the sand, and the golden light and sand shadows are intertwined, creating an amazing sense of movement and beauty.

"Thirty-two slow, I'm going to see the Golden Boot man. "I command again.

Zhang Quanzhong obeyed my orders, and the video slowed down again, playing frame by frame like a cartoon.

I never saw the face of the man in black, but I saw his back fifteen times, three on the left side, and once on the right side. To be sure, he was not the leader of the group, but he was surrounded and protected by everyone, and was always separated from the Assassin Yue Guan.

For example, I felt that he was like an overseer or a minister or a messenger of his superiors, and his position was so noble that the executioners who killed people without blinking an eye all bowed to him and flattered him.

"Why did you pay attention to him, and what did you find?" Zhang Quanzhong asked.

It can be seen that Yue Guan's death has dealt him a lot of blows, and has even made him confused.

His right hand rests on the laptop keyboard, and his left thumb and forefinger twist and turn as if an anxious person is pacing in place.

This is the first time I've seen him anxious since I met him.

I shook my head: "Not for the time being, but that person gives me a very special feeling, I will watch the video a few more times, and I will definitely dig into the deepest root of this abnormal feeling." ”

Zhang Quanzhong was a little disappointed, let out an "oh" sound, and slowly retreated.

Jingguan Xiaowu stood up suddenly, rushed into the bathroom quickly, and closed the door vigorously with his backhand.

Zhang Quanzhong turned around, stared at the bathroom door, and was silent for a long time.

It was clear to me that the two of them were in a state of deep fear.

"This ...... I haven't informed you, in fact, for more than ten years, there have been people who have been the master of the mermaid through various means, but none of them have succeeded. Usually, news of recruiting assassins is posted on the 'dark web', and bounties and advances are paid through the 'dark web' underground channels. This transaction process is endorsed by the bigwigs of the 'dark web', so both parties are very trustworthy. Unfortunately, most of the Assassins only took 30% of the advance, and the remaining 70% never had a chance to come back. Before Yue Guan, there had been no assassin unveiled for four years, and everyone knew that after such a thought, it would only bring ruins and disreputes, and the head was different......"

This belated explanation is not satisfactory, and the existence of the "dark web" is equivalent to a "third way" in addition to black and white, which is not only secret, but also always emits its own unique voice, creating a new alternative order.

"Yue Guan only took the advance payment?" I asked, "According to rumors, he never wants money for killing, just a false name, isn't it?"

Zhang Quanzhong smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, he really doesn't want a penny, he just wants the endorsement of the 'dark web' bigwigs, once the assassination is successful, he must be six places on the assassin rankings, beat the top 'Hades', and become a new generation of 'assassin kings'." He lived for fame and never thought about money, and was an absolute outlier in the history of the global Assassins. ”

The death of those who are greedy for fame is another bloody lesson brought to me by reality.

I realized that only by "not being greedy" can we achieve the state of "being rigid without desire, being tolerant, being impartial, and being quiet and conservative".

"Tao Te Ching" says that if you don't fight, the world can't fight with it.

Only by not being greedy, not fighting, and not changing color for fame and fortune can we live forever and be independent.

"Can I do that?" I asked myself.

The answer is disturbing, because my heart is full of concern, and concern is unfulfilled desire.

For example, I must find the mirror room and rescue Tang Wan, I will assassinate the Lord of the Sharks and solve the biggest problem facing Jingguan Xiaowu, and I will rescue Lianchengbi and let her get rid of the transparent box......

The attachment was like a rope, each of which tied a knot firmly on my body, and I couldn't break free.
