Chapter 043: Red List

The young man inexplicably felt suffocated, as if a giant claw pinched his throat, and cold sweat slipped down from his forehead.

He paused for a moment.

It's not that he doesn't want to answer this question, it's that his throat is tight, and he can't speak for a while.

Struggling to break free from the near-death feeling, the young man barely raised his trembling hands, took off the finger tiger, held it in his palm, and presented it to Shu Jiu, with an almost broken voice coming out of his mouth:

Master said...... This one...... Give it to me, and he'll ...... again Make a new one. ”

As soon as he said this sentence, the strength of his body seemed to have been drained, and the young man completely relied on the stubbornness in his cavity to maintain the posture of holding his hands up.

Shu Jiu didn't pick up the finger tiger, nor did he look at him again, but there was a vague smile on his face: "Respect the teacher and love, you should cherish it." ”

He recognized the Finger Tiger.

It was indeed the thing of Hook Eight, which refers to the poisonous juice on the Tiger Iron Thorn, which was also brewed by Hook Eight himself.

Hook Eight is proficient in poisonology, knows some tricks, and can also build simple weapons, and Shujiu knows all about this, so he is not suspicious of the answer of the young man in front of him.

After all, there are not many people in this world who know how to kill people like Hook Hachi.

At this point, Shu Jiu is still ashamed of himself.

Hook Hachi is indeed very good at killing.

And the older he gets, the faster he kills.

This is not only due to the mastery of hook eight martial arts and superb hook technique, but also because he never sticks to the form of killing, poisoning, trapping, ambushing, and sneak attack...... All of these things are used to the extreme, and such a thing as identity and fame does not exist for him.

Just two years ago, in order to kill a certain master of martial arts on the red list of the villa, Hook Eight actually spent a lot of money to invite black and white characters, and consumed the person alive by the method of wheel warfare, and he easily took off the man's head without even making a move.

This is the reason why Hook Eight kills faster and faster.

Compared with Shu Jiu's pursuit of the ultimate in calligraphy, what Hook Eight pursues is the ultimate in killing itself.

It is said that the most common words shouted by Hook Hachi's opponents before they died were:

"You despicable villain!"

Only it is despicable, so it always wins.

Although he was very unimpressed with such acts, Shu Jiu also admitted that the reason why Hook Eight became Hook Eight was because he knew and did what he knew and could justify himself, and the method of killing people was also self-contained, and he could be regarded as a real "martial artist", rather than an ordinary recklessness.

"Humbled—"

The subtle sound broke through the night, and the half-hidden vermilion lacquer door was finally completely closed, but Shu Jiu was already missing in front of the door.

The young man wearing the mask stood alone by the door, and the whole figure was fished out of the water, and his whole body was soaked.

That finger tiger is the "news of hook eight" that Arrow Eleven handed over to him as agreed.

At dusk today, the young man went to the miscellaneous courtyard as promised, but Arrow Eleven did not show up at all, only left a secret mark in the corner of the ruins, signaling him to go to a certain place in the north of the city.

He followed the instructions to find his destination, but there were still only secret marks left there, which led him to the next place.

In this way, the boy searched for secret notes all the way, all the way from the north of the city to the east of the city, and then turned back to the north of the city from the east of the city, and finally found the fingered tiger in the crack of the wall of an abandoned house.

He recognized it at a glance.

In addition to this knuckle tiger, Arrow Eleven also left a note, but there was no writing on it, only a drawing.

In the painting, the young man with the weapon of Qimen on his back galloped forward, the tall city wall towered behind the young man, majestic, solemn, like a mountain pressed down, between the battlements there are golden soldiers holding swords, the half-shaved head is very eye-catching.

"Does she still paint?"

The boy took the paper out of his sleeve and looked at it repeatedly in the moonlight, muttering softly.

He didn't know much about Arrow Eleven.

Although they had met several times and helped each other, he didn't know each other's names at that time, and it wasn't until he saw the portrait of the girl on the red list that he knew that the beautiful woman with a scar on her forehead was actually ranked eleventh on the top list.

Just one step away from reaching the top 10.

To this day, the boy remembers how surprised and shocked he was when he stood in front of the portrait.

The girl who had laughed with him had already stood on a high place that was beyond his reach. And when he realized this, what rose in the young man's heart was not self-ashamed, but a strong fighting spirit.

He also wants to be like that girl, to become a well-known figure on the top list, and to become the object of others' admiration.

However, it was also this girl, who was recorded as the eleventh in the head, and was also recorded in the seventeenth place on the red list.

The people listed on the red list of the villa are all people who can be killed and must be killed, so there is also an alias on this list, called "Soul Hooking List".

One "red" and one "hook" is exactly the meaning of the beheading of the death row prisoner. And those who make it to this list, Tai Ban will not live for a year.

The ranking of the red list is the same as the rest of the lists, and the higher the ranking, the more difficult it is to deal with, because among these people, in addition to the masters of the rivers and lakes, sometimes there are officials from the court.

The former is fine, there are constant vendettas on the rivers and lakes, and no one will ask more questions no matter how many deaths you have. The latter, on the other hand, needs to be handled carefully, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, this type of character on the red list is not allowed to be unveiled at will, that is, the "unkillable" of the red list.

These "unkillable" will be personally designated by Zhuang Tou to form a team of eight good hands, from spying on information to killing, every place is carefully arranged, and this process often takes months or even half a year.

In Yue Bawu's memory, the death of the Red List officials did not stir up storms, because they all died very "ordinary" without exception, or they were "seriously ill", or "accidents" such as startling horses and falling into the water, and basically no blood could be seen.

Of course, "unkillable" is still a minority after all, and most of the people on the red list are still Jianghu people, that is, "all can be killed".

In the villa, whether you belong to one of the eight divisions, or you are not one of the eight divisions at all, as long as you can kill these "all", you can also get extremely rich rewards, and you can also improve your rank.

Therefore, every time the red list is released, everyone in the village is brave and competes for the first, and even the sweeping guy dares to unveil his name in front of the list.

And a person like Arrow Eleven, who belongs to two lists as a person, and whose rank is within twenty, is also extremely rare in the villa.

However, Arrow Eleven, who is so eye-catching and should be the center of everyone's discussion, is rarely mentioned to her, as if the three words "Arrow Eleven" are taboo, and something bad will happen if you touch it.

What's more, after the name of Arrow Eleven on the red list, no one has ever gone to reveal it.

In other words, not only did the people in the village not want to mention this woman, but they also had no intention of killing her.
