East Highsiden Street, Chinatown, Vancouver.

Miao Yu Xuan, a Cantonese teahouse, I sat near the window, looking at the street relaxedly, it should be said that Vancouver's Chinatown is still relatively noisy and prosperous, but those typical Nanyang-style buildings, in my opinion, always exude some rustic, most of the Chinese here are southern accents, of course, the most is towards Hokkien and Cantonese, the teahouse is playing Cantonese opera that I don't understand at all, Ding Ding Dong, Yi Ya Ya......

I just looked across the street with my teacup......

In my pocket is the photo of the eighth master to me, the photo is a middle-aged man, about forty years old, in the photo, he looks quite kind, but unfortunately there is a scar on his head, which completely destroys the artistry of this person, and like many people on the road, he has a finger-thick gold chain around his neck, obviously, this photo was taken secretly, because he was holding a cigar in his hand, sitting in the car, with a somewhat arrogant look.

This man's name is "Sand Snake", and he is a leading figure in the "Roche Clan Association", a well-known organization in Vancouver's Chinatown area.

Clan association is a very distinctive term in Chinatown in the Vancouver area, basically here, the so-called clan association is a kind of organization with black colors, just like the Taoist community in China, a product formed under many historical factors.

There are many clan associations in Chinatown, basically some Chinese community gangs, but this Luo clan association is obviously a very important one here.

I know that the target that the eighth master gave me, that is, the person whose name sounds like Sand Snake, is not the main target of his plan to attack the local Chinatown gang this time, and he will not hand over a very important matter to a newcomer like me.

But for me, it's not a slip of the question.

The eighth master was very well prepared, he gave me all the information about the sand snake, I studied it for a day, and found that he had a very fixed habit, of course, this is also a common problem of men all over the world - lustful, the sand snake is not the number one person in the Luo clan association, he can only rank third or fourth at most, because the biggest source of income for the general Chinatown gangs: the drug trade, is not the responsibility of the sand snake, he is responsible for some basic things in the streets of this nearby Chinatown, such as, the sex industry, There are also some teahouses and other local land protection fees.

This is also something that makes me very emotional.

In this part of the country, there are Chinese gangsters in Chinatown...... But what is disdainful is that these local traditional gangsters only bully the Chinese, and they are very weak to foreigners, and their power is basically shrunk in Chinatown, unable to extend outward.

In other words, these gangs are also immigrants from China, but these gangs rely on parasitism on the basis of other ordinary Chinese immigrants to survive.

The lust of the sand snake gave me a very important piece of information that he had a favorite lover on this street.

From the seat I am sitting on, there is a barber shop across the narrow street, which is a somewhat nondescript place, with flashing neon lights and large advertising posters on the outside, but there is a bit of rustic atmosphere inside, some little girls who wash their hair are wearing a pink T-shirt and a pair of denim shorts...... A pair of bare legs that are deliberately exposed, and there is a feeling of belching...... In particular, the hem of the T-shirt is too long and even obscures the shorts, which can make people look a little erotic.

This place, a well-known spot in nearby Chinatown, is operated by one of the many mistresses of the sand snakes, who now come here almost every two or three days.

Of course, part of the proceeds from this field also belong to the Luo clan association.

I've been sitting in the teahouse opposite all afternoon, the street is not bustling, there are not many pedestrians, on the narrow street, even I sat for an afternoon without seeing a few cars drive in, the waiter in the teahouse is a very young Chinese boy, the young one will even doubt whether he is an adult, since the last hour, he has been looking at me with a suspicious gaze from time to time.

I know I've been getting attention by sitting for too long.

I was wearing a very loose and ordinary coat, light colored, very ordinary, my hair was now trimmed short, just up to my neck, I wore a peaked cap and a very wide pair of toad glasses, black, which obscured a third of my face, and I had two glances of a fake mustache on my lips, and I was sure that no one would really know what I looked like unless he approached me and looked at me, not even that I was a woman.

The pot of Tieguanyin in front of me, because I had added water many times, was already very light, and I still kept my patience and looked at the opposite side of the street.

From time to time, there were suspicious men coming in and out of the shampoo centre, all for fun, and I smoked cigarette after cigarette, and in the smoke I was like a poisonous snake waiting for its prey......

Finally, at six o'clock in the evening, the goal I had been waiting for came.

A black Ford slowly drove into the street, stopped at the door of the shampoo center, and a driver-like man jumped out of the car first, then pulled the back door, and then I saw the sand snake come out of it.

His real person looks fatter and stronger than in the photo, but that face looks faintly with a unique fierce temperament of a mixed person, especially the scar on his forehead, faintly shiny, and his hair is very short, only a layer of green ballast, he is wearing a Tang costume, touched his head casually, and then strode into the shampoo center.

I squinted and watched as the driver stood in the doorway smoking, and then waited about five minutes for me to slowly stand up and carefully snuff out the cigarette.

I slowly pushed the door down the street, lowered the brim of my hat and lowered my head, walked unhurriedly to the driver, and then walked past him with a blank face, I noticed that he seemed to look up at me, and there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, but after only one glance he turned his gaze away.

I pushed the door open and walked inside.

The place inside is obviously not big, only a narrow corridor, two women with heavy makeup at the door stand behind the counter, but they are all very exposed, they are all dressed in long hem T-shirts and shorts, plus a low neckline, when they saw me come in, one immediately greeted me, and then seemed to say hello to me in Cantonese, I didn't understand, because the coat I was wearing was very wide, and I couldn't see my breasts at all, so she didn't see that I was a woman, I should have asked me if I was looking for a miss, I just lowered my voice and said a short word"OK", she immediately led me in, and deliberately in front of me, twisting her waist that was not slim.

Obviously, the chairs and mirrors used for haircuts outside were all decorations, and the private rooms for washing hair in the back were the main places, and I was taken to a small dark room in the back, which had no door, but was separated by a cloth curtain that had been put down outside, and the young lady led me in, and then went out, and put down the curtain casually.

There was only one chaise longue in this small room, the kind that allows people to lie down and wash their hair, I waited quietly for a while, then carefully took out a toy mask from my pocket and put it on myself, then took off my coat, turned it inside and out, and put it on, and as soon as I had done all this, the curtain was lifted outside, and a girl in a very low-cut top and a short skirt walked in.

From the heavy makeup on her face, I can't see her age clearly, she is wearing slippers, she looks tired, but she is strong and energetic, her hair is a little curly, obviously as soon as she came in, she suddenly saw a person standing in front of her wearing a mask, she was a little stunned, and her subconscious reaction was to open her mouth and want to shout, I had already gone up and covered her mouth, and the other hand pinched her neck from the side, and with force, I pulled her over, strangled her with my elbow, and then raised my hand to cut the artery in the back of his neck.

The woman snorted and softened.

I let go of her, lifted the chain and walked out.

It was a hallway, and on both sides were many almost identical private rooms, each with curtains hanging at the door, and some of them had some suspicious voices coming from inside.

I walked slowly through the hallway, all the way inside, and then to the end of the hallway, there was a closed door, I pushed it, then took a clip from my pocket and straightened it in.

This inferior door lock, poked twice, and it opened silently, this trick was also taught to me by Haiyan when the garage was bored, and I heard the music of a very old Cantonese song coming from inside, and the sound of rushing water.

I took a deep breath and walked in softly.

This is obviously a separate private room, in which there is a retractable chair, the sand snake is half-lying, with his face up, his face is covered with shaving cream, white flowers, his eyes are closed, his hands are on the armrests on both sides of the chair, and from time to time he taps gently according to the beat of the music, a woman stands in the middle of the chair and the pool with her back to me, from the back she looks very good, not tall, but has a thin waist like a water snake, she carefully holds a brush, and continues to apply shaving cream to the sand snake's chin, On the edge of the other side of the pool is a razor.

The sand snake was obviously very interested, and his hands quickly slid down, and touched up the woman's calf little by little, and I heard the woman laugh at food, and randomly knocked off the sand snake's hand, and then whispered something, twisted his waist to the edge of the pool, and picked up the razor.

I waited quietly in the doorway, my body hidden behind the wall, only a pair of eyes exposed, and when the woman turned and walked towards me, I immediately shrank back.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the woman came to the door, and I immediately reached out and grabbed her by the neck, and without making a sound, I dragged her aside, and almost instantly, I slapped her very accurately on the back of the head, and she fainted instantly.

Then I walked into the room without a word.

The sand snake didn't notice my arrival, and when I stood beside him, his eyes still closed, his fingers still tapping on the edge of the chair, and a somewhat smug expression on his face.

My gaze was calm and cold, staring at his neck and throat for a long time, and then gently picked up the razor on the edge of the pool.

The pool was already full of water, I don't know if these two people were going to take a bath or do something else, I just quietly walked to the side of the sand snake, he still didn't notice my arrival, still closed his eyes, and even hummed a little song to the music in his mouth.

I gestured with the razor in my hand.........

The next second, I had reached out and patted the sand snake on the shoulder, and then when he opened his eyes slightly, I immediately put my arm around his neck from behind, and then despite his desperate struggle, I still dragged him directly from the chair, he even tried to writhe, I understood that he wanted to scream, but I was stuck in my throat, and I could only squeeze out the sound of "Gege" from my throat, but I couldn't say a word.

His strength was not small, but I strangled his neck, struggled for a while, and then his strength was weakened by the lack of oxygen, and I had dragged him to the edge of the pool, and then pressed him hard into the water above the neck, while the other hand with a razor reached out......

One time!

The razor slashed through his neck, and the blade easily cut his throat, skin, and trachea, and because it was underwater, the blood would not spurt out, let alone splash on my body, just watch a stream of blood come up from the water......

I took two steps back, and at the same time let go of the sand snake with both arms, and his whole body was like an empty sack, soft to the ground, and his hands were holding his throat tightly, and blood kept coming out of his fingers, and in a moment half of his body was dyed red! Then I watched him grow his mouth and breathe desperately, but unfortunately his trachea was cut by me and he couldn't breathe air anymore no matter how hard he tried!

Gradually, his strength on the ground became smaller and smaller, blood splattered, and I always stood coldly and looked at him, watching his eyes bulge out like dead fish eyes, just staring at me, staring at me......

I don't know if there is such a thing as death without blinding in this world, but at this moment, the sand snake looks like it is dead!

I cautiously walked up to him, then looked at him condescendingly, looked at him for a few seconds, and then said lightly in a calm tone: "Eighth Master greets you." ”

Then, I didn't care if he could still hear my last words, turned around and walked to the pool, and washed the blood stains on the palms and fingers of his palms in the pool with an indifferent expression!

I did all of this slowly, very carefully, until I was sure that there was no blood left on my hands, and then I looked at myself in the mirror and made sure there was no blood on my body.

Looking at the time, it was five minutes from the time I walked in to the time I finished what I was going to do......

When I walked out of this shampoo center, the little girl at the door looked at me in some surprise, as if she wanted to come up and stop me, but with the few bills I dropped, there was no other action.

When he walked out of the gate, the driver of the sand snake was already sitting in the car, holding a disposable paper bucket in his hand, and was holding a pair of chopsticks to eat something, probably ordered takeaway.

His gaze swept over me again, and this time I walked up to him without looking at him, and then stood outside the car door and knocked lightly on the window.

This guy opened the car window a little impatiently, and then asked me what in Cantonese, I didn't speak, took out a cigarette, and made a gesture to borrow fire, he frowned, but still looked at me, subconsciously put a piece of beef in the chopsticks in his hand into his mouth, and the other hand reached into his arms to take out a lighter for me......

In such a second, I suddenly raised my hand and slapped the back of his hand holding chopsticks!!

Syllable!!

The chopsticks went straight into his mouth and almost pierced his throat!

Eventually, blood spurted out of his mouth, but because of his angle, it spurted all the way to the car, and I dodged it slightly, and then watched his painful hands scratch at his mouth and try to pull out his chopsticks...... This is also a natural reflex of the human condition.

So, I punched him again!

This time, with the power of my punch, the chopsticks were inserted deeper, and they didn't penetrate his throat before, and this time they really penetrated! The chopsticks were apparently broken in two!

The driver struggled frantically in the car, and his mouth let out a painful and twisted howl, but unfortunately he couldn't make much noise......

I know very well that he is dead.

Then I immediately turned around and left the car, and walked coldly towards the other end of the street, and there was a continuous honking of car horns behind me, probably because the driver had lost his breath and pressed against the steering wheel......

The shrill sound of the horn alarmed the little girl in the shampoo room, and the girl ran out and immediately let out a terrible scream, and I walked out of the street with this scream and the sound of car horns, and then got into a car on the corner and sped away.

The car drove a street away, and I was holding the steering wheel in one hand and putting my fingers in my mouth with the other, and I bit it a few times with my teeth.

I put a small plastic film over each of my fingers so I can be sure I don't leave any fingerprints.

Then I drove the car to a place designated by the eighth master, this is a car wash, as soon as my car entered, a few workers came to wash the car with a water gun, I got out of the car, did not say a word to these people, walked to the back, quickly took off his coat, took off the beard on his mouth, threw it into an iron trash can, and then picked up a bottle in the corner on the side, poured the liquid inside, and lit a cigarette for himself, after taking a puff, Throw the burning cigarette in the trash......

Rumble!!

Immediately a fire erupted from the trash can! The raging flames burned everything to ashes.

I looked at the flames, and I was distracted.

Suddenly, I felt sick for a while, and then I quickly rushed to the small bathroom door on the side, slammed into a small toilet cubicle, and immediately squatted down, almost holding the toilet and throwing up!

I kept throwing up, I felt like my stomach was cramping, I vomited almost all the tea I ate today and drank in the afternoon, my stomach was empty, I was still holding the toilet, and I almost vomited all my bile!

My face was covered with snot and tears, and the filthy residue at the corners of my mouth, and I gasped for breath, feeling as if I had been hollowed out, and my body fluttered, and I was soft brocade......

Once I was settled, I walked out, turned on the tap of the sink, washed my face with water, and began to wash my hands again! I picked up the soap on one side and washed my hands five times, and the skin on my hands turned red! But I still haven't stopped! I even picked up a brush on the side and brushed my hands desperately!

Even though my hands were broken and bleeding, I still felt like I had an unbearable smell of blood on my hands...... That filthy smell made me almost want to vomit out......

Raise your face and look at the mirror in front of you...... The woman inside, her face was a little pale, and her face was stained with water beads rolling down her hair and cheeks, and there was a distorted and hideous look in her eyes......

I felt a chill in my heart......

Is this really me?

I killed someone......

I killed someone!

Yes, this is not the first time I have killed someone, in that bloody battle on the long street of Guangzhou, I have already killed people, at sea, in the sea, I also killed that black man............

But those two times were different from today!

That time on the street of Guangzhou, I was forced, they wanted to kill me, I had to fight them! I can only fight hard! In desperation, I didn't have much regret in my heart when I killed someone.

At sea, I killed that black man because of hatred! It was the humiliation he had made me like a brute before, and the ...... they had done to Sun Li I killed that bastard, and I only had pleasure in my heart!

But today is different!

This sand snake, I don't know him at all, I don't know anything about this man except his name and age! I had never even heard of this man before yesterday, and I didn't even know there was such a person in the world!

I don't have a grudge against him, and I don't know what he is like, and I don't know if he really deserves to die...... I killed him, just because the eighth master asked me to kill him, just because I had to kill him to have a chance to come out!

Kill someone who has nothing to do with you for no reason without hatred...... This situation makes me feel that my heart is full of a distorted feeling at the moment......

Two living people, before this, there was no intersection between my life and them at all! But now I appeared inexplicably, and then inexplicably took the lives of two strangers!

After a long time, there was a knock on the door of the bathroom, and a cold voice came from the middle-aged man who spoke coldly.

"Done?"

I turned and opened the bathroom door and walked out, and he looked at me and looked at my torn hands.

"Yes." I nodded.

"Okay, the eighth master wants to see you."

I was about to go out with him without saying a word, but he suddenly turned around and smiled at me, his smile had a hint of complexity in it: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, my name is Tiger, you can call me Tiger, I didn't tell you before because you are an outsider, and now ......"

He looked me in the eye and said deeply in a calm tone, "From now on, you are already your own person." ”
