Chapter 11: The Loom of Fate

As the owner of the textile mill on the surface, the chairman of the board of directors and the director of the factory, Sloan naturally occupies the most luxurious office in the entire office building.

This was not the first time Lin Cheng had returned to Sloane's office, and when he knocked on the office door, he immediately felt a scrutinizing gaze fall on him.

"Although, we don't inherently interfere too much in the relationship between men and women, you have to be clear that it has been an eventful time lately, and pregnancy can have an impact on the ability of a killer, I think...... You wouldn't want anything to happen to her, would you? ”

Sloan sat behind his desk, his eyes tinged with a hint of warning, his hands wiping the lenses of a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

And what can Lin Cheng say, why did everyone know about this bit of last night, but he himself didn't have any impression at all.

Sloane didn't have a problem with what was going on between him and the fox, though.

It's just that I don't want anyone to drop the chain at this critical juncture.

"The gunsmith and the butcher told me that you are making rapid progress, that your training is over, and that you have started your internship."

As soon as the conversation changed, Sloan brought the topic back to Lin Cheng's current situation.

Thanks to the help of the T virus, Lin Cheng's progress is indeed very fast.

For example, the unique technique of making bullets turn and shoot, he can now basically use it without the assistance of mental power, and now he has begun to try to use mental power to manipulate bullets to draw landscapes, flowers and birds in mid-air, just kidding.

"There are some things that should indeed be told to you - you should know that we have lost a lot of men lately because someone is out there hunting our man, an extremely dangerous fellow, a killer who betrayed the Assassin Alliance and betrayed the choice of fate."

As he spoke, Sloan placed an old-looking book on his desk.

It was a thick book with a black leather cover, similar in size to the books in the large library outside, with the word "Cross" written in floral script on the title page.

Lin Cheng knew that this should be Carlos's assassination planning record, and the fox also prepared such a book for him to record.

From the very beginning, when Lin Cheng was invited to join, whether it was Sloan or Fox, perhaps because they were afraid of scaring away this killer seedling with top talent on the spot, no one took the initiative to tell him that there was a betrayer in this organization, and they were constantly hunting others.

It was only now, when they thought that Lin Cheng was ready, that Sloane took out the assassination plan record of Cross Carlos with compassion.

It is estimated that the next step is to find a way to fool Lin Cheng into a head-on duel with Carlos, and Lin Cheng has to act like he doesn't know anything.

"Follow me, what you want to see now is the secret that the entire Assassin League has guarded for hundreds of years."

As he spoke, Sloan put the gold wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, then slowly got up and left his office with Lin Cheng.

In the hidden room behind the Great Library, the first time Lin Cheng followed Sloan's footsteps into this room, he noticed the loom in the center of the room that was repeating the weaving work.

The walls are lined with silk boxes, attached to the loom like spider silk.

"Historically, every race, every civilization, has its own set of codes, which are hidden in the written secret, in the European land a thousand years ago, when the fire of civilization was just rising, a group of weavers discovered that there was a mysterious language hidden in ancient fabrics."

Through the magnifying glass above the cloth, Lin Cheng noticed the abnormal silk threads.

In a neatly arranged patch of silk threads, individual threads are out of place, which is not possible in the normal way the loom works, but it happens.

"Look at that vertical silk thread, if it is on top of other silk threads, it represents the number 1, if it falls below the other silk threads, it represents the number 0, and when we write the numbers according to its arrangement, you will find - binary encoding."

As he spoke, Sloan recorded the information captured by the magnifying glass in the codebook in his hand, and the two simple numbers 0 and 1 jumped on the paper, arranging them into a string of numbers that Lin Cheng couldn't understand......

But he knew that all the data in the computer was made up of these two numbers, which was the most primitive machine language, and in that most primitive era, binary encoding had already appeared, and it pointed to one name after another, is this possible?

Lin Cheng didn't know, but he obviously felt something abnormal in the infinite building blocks in his consciousness space.

The Infinity Building Blocks seemed to feel the existence of the Destiny Loom, and desperately hoped that Lin Cheng would dismantle it so as to get something hidden in the Destiny Loom, which made Lin Cheng care a lot, but he didn't show it.

"The Loom of Fate is responsible for guiding the way, the leaders of the League of Assassins are responsible for interpreting and conveying it, and you are responsible for doing it."

"Carlos Gibson, codenamed Cross, was the top assassin of the entire League of Assassins before you appeared, until he betrayed the League of Assassins, betrayed the guidance of fate, and began to kill each and every one of us."

Sloan converted the 0 and 1 codes into the English alphabet, and then spelled out the English letters completely, and finally got the name Carlos Gibson.

"So, you want me to kill him?"

Lin Cheng took the cipher paper, and his gaze fell on Sloane's swarthy face.

"You are the most talented assassin I have ever met, and you are the only one among us who has the possibility of taking out the traitor of the Cross, but not now, because there is still a very big gap between you and him now, and that is experience, which is something that your talent cannot bring to you."

"What you really need now is to get enough combat experience as soon as possible, and at the same time understand your opponent, learn from your opponent, and then turn his experience into your own, only then can you not fall behind when facing him head-on, or even kill him."

After a pause, Sloane continued.

If it weren't for understanding the plot, I'm afraid Lin Cheng would have been deceived by this old guy's acting skills.

Lin Cheng knew in his heart that Carlos Gibson was not a betrayer, on the contrary, Sloan was the real betrayer.

From the time Sloan first forged the order of the Loom of Destiny to grab a large fortune, he had already been on the list of the Loom of Destiny, and it was precisely because Carlos knew about it that he chose to betray the Assassin Alliance.

However, he was faced with Sloan's forgery of his name and the full wanted of the Assassin League, which eventually evolved into the current situation.

Sloan wanted to use Lin Cheng to deal with Carlos, so he used rhetoric to coax him.

However, it also takes skill to deceive people - all of Sloan's descriptions of Carlos are true, but they selectively conceal a part of themselves and guide the truth of implementation.

"You see, now that you've joined the League of Assassins and you're on the Cross's kill list, he could attack you at any time, and I'll let everyone try to help you hold off the Cross's attack and buy you time - remember, you're running out of time."

"Got it."

Lin Cheng nodded very obediently, took the piece of paper and turned to leave.
