Volume 4 Chapter 17 Slate, Shadow!
The winery is still the same simple small winery, and everything is furnished as before, as if it has never changed in the slightest.
However, people who often come to this winery know very well that today's winery is completely different, not because of Fan Yunhan's death, nor because of the previous events, but because, in this small winery, there is a mysterious slate, a black slate, revealing a touch of pressure, without any special material, it is such an ordinary slate, but it symbolizes the contract of death.
No one knows when the slate appeared here, let alone who laid it down, not even the owner of the brewery.
It's just that no matter who you want to kill, write on this slate, the price will appear the next day, as long as you leave a third of the deposit, within three days, the target will inevitably fall, since this slate appeared here, the names of nearly ten people have appeared, and no one has survived.
In this way, this simple tablet became a call to death, frightening and terrifying, but no one dared to touch this tablet that could be destroyed by tentacles.
"Sister Lin, is there really no news?" With a little bit of fear, a fat man whispered to the bar and asked.
"Can I still lie to you?" smiled bitterly, and the beautiful woman known as Sister Lin glanced at the slate with some fear, and then whispered, "Two days ago, someone secretly stayed here without giving up, wanting to see who left a word on the slate, but the next day it turned into two corpses, and there was not even a single wound on the body, and the death was unbelievable! Those two people are also the strength of the Heavenly Rank, and one of them is even said to be able to reach the level of the Half-Step Saint Rank soon." ”
Hearing this, the fat man's heart chilled, but he also dispelled the idea of finding out, curiosity is nothing compared to life.
"Crunch!"
As he spoke, several black-clothed men silently broke into the wine shop, and at a glance they caught a glimpse of the location of the stone slab.
Several people had black veils on their faces, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, the only thing that was shocking was that the man in black who was the leader turned out to be a woman, although she couldn't see her face, but her bewitching posture was also enough to make people's blood boil.
"Miss Tang, that's it, within half a month, eight people, including one and a half steps of the Heavenly Ladder, have not survived. A man in black behind him explained softly, "According to your orders, our people left a code, but the other party did not respond at all, it seems that they are not the people on the road! ”
There is too much provocative flavor in this statement, but of course, this is not a lie.
Nodding slightly, the woman in black led by her said softly, "It's okay, since you're here, you have to get a result, so sit down." ”
While speaking, the woman in black sat down leisurely at the table, "Boss, give me your strongest wine, be quick." ”
Since these people came in, their eyes have never stayed on anyone around them, as if there is no one else at all, but the killing intent and inscrutable aura that vaguely exudes from their bodies have made everyone consciously silent, and they don't dare to have any opinions at all.
"Girl, the wine you wanted. Although her scalp was numb, Sister Lin still had to bring the wine with a smiling face.
The black-clothed man next to him took the wine easily, but the woman was not in a hurry to drink it, but asked lightly, "You should also know my intention, fooling others, you'd better not say it, otherwise, I'm afraid that you will have to change the owner of this wine shop tomorrow." ”
The woman's voice was extremely clear, but there was a hint of murder that could not be concealed, no matter who it was, she couldn't help but shudder, and from the bottom of her heart she felt a sense of subservience that was difficult to be an enemy of.
After hesitating for a moment, Sister Lin finally shook her head helplessly and said, "It's not that I want to perfunctory girls, I really have nothing to say, every day at the third watch, there will be a blurry shadow coming in, I can't see my face clearly, I can't even tell whether it's a man or a woman, and the other party only stays for a few minutes at most every time!
After a pause, Sister Lin continued, "It's not that I said, these words, although the business in the store is much better because of this stone slab, but I can't sleep peacefully anymore, if I am afraid of being angry, I even have the mind to close the door." ”
This is not nonsense, she did have the idea of closing the door, but when she thought of the horror of the mysterious killer, such a thought could only turn in her mind, otherwise, if she annoyed the other party, could she not kill her, the owner of the winery?
"Third watch?" After a moment of silence, the woman then sneered, "Okay, then I'll wait for him to get to the third watch!"
Although it was just a simple sentence, it came out of the woman's mouth with endless murderous intent and conceit, as if it was originally an ordinary trivial matter, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
The posture of finding fault here has already been set up, how can the rest of the people have the courage to continue to stay, even if they are stupid, they should understand that these people must have extraordinary backgrounds, and if they are not careful, I am afraid that they will have to put their own lives here, but they are just watching a lively and taking a small life, which cannot be drawn.
Of course, the woman didn't mean to stop these people in the slightest, just sat calmly at the table, drinking pot after pot of spirits, as if it was just fragrant tea, without the slightest effect.
Time passed little by little, during this period, there were many people, but, seeing the posture inside, they consciously retreated, although they are not ordinary people who come here, but after all, no one wants to find themselves uncomfortable, right?
The third watch is just a blink of an eye!
As Sister Lin said, at the time of the third watch, a vague shadow drifted into the winery, even with the eyes of these black-clothed people, they couldn't see the faces of the people who came at all, and it was difficult to catch even a trace of breath, and for a while, everyone's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and cautiously stared at the silent intrusion shadow.
As if he hadn't seen these people at all, Shadow calmly walked over to the slate and glanced at the empty slate, without saying a word, turned around and walked out.
"Since Your Excellency is here, don't you feel too relaxed to leave without leaving anything behind?" raised her eyebrows slightly, and the woman said in a cold voice.
Hearing this, the shadow slowly stopped, but he still didn't look back, and said in a hoarse voice, "If you want to kill someone, leave a message on the stone slab." ”
"Murder, joke!" This time, without waiting for the woman to answer, the man in black next to him sneered and said, "We are killers ourselves, what do we want to kill, do we have to pay you to do it?"
Surprisingly, even so, the shadow did not have the slightest hint of anger, and calmly replied, "In that case, we have nothing to talk about. ”
As the words fell, the shadow lifted its feet again and walked out.
"You're looking for death!" was so simply ignored, the man in black was suddenly angry and his eyes flashed with stars, and he stepped out, and the killing machine surged out wildly, locking the direction of the shadow in an instant.
"I'm lazy, and I don't want to kill without pay, but if you insist, I think, I can get paid from your companions. Without looking back, the shadow slowly spoke, but it simply ignored the rich murderous intent at all. It's just that these words are really hurtful, it's just a slap in the face to the extreme, and there is no need for ridicule and swearing, this understatement has already shown that conceit and domineering to the fullest.
"Bastard, what do you think you are" was so contemptuous, the face of the man in black was flushed with anger, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the sword at his waist, and scolded angrily and was about to make a move.
It's just that the action of drawing the sword was carried out, and before the sword even had time to be unsheathed, I saw a vague afterimage flash away, and the shadow was still in place, not moving, and the black-clothed man who wanted to teach the shadow a lesson before had a faint blood mark on his neck, and the blow was fatal!
"This girl, now you owe me ten top-grade source crystals!"
However, when these words fell into the ears of other people, they were simply like the voice of a demon! This unidentified shadow really did what he said, not only killing people, but also asking the other party's companions to ask for payment for killing! Such a move is really too unbelievable, even if it is a killer at the same time, these people have to admit that since their debut, they have never seen such a domineering and unreasonable killer!
It's just that the strength of the other party is also far beyond everyone's expectations, just one move, and even most people can't see how the other party makes a move, and in an instant, they kill a strong person who is close to the half-step holy level! Such a person, even if he is arrogant, there is nothing to blame.
"Smack, smack, smack!"
Not annoyed, it was completely different from what Sister Lin expected, the woman in black not only did not mean to be angry, but smiled and applauded, and really took out ten top-grade source crystals from her body and put them on the table, as if the person who had just been killed had nothing to do with her at all.
"It's worthy of being the mysterious killer who captured the Ziling Sword, it's amazing!"
The mysterious killer who seized the Ziling Sword, as soon as these words came out, both the black-clothed people around him and Sister Lin couldn't help but froze slightly, looking at the vague shadow in disbelief, waiting for the other party to make an answer.
