A street in the dock area of Jinmen Port.

The two night patrol men dressed in black patrol suits, flintlock pistols on their shoulders, and Pu knives on their waists marched along the established patrol route under the dim light of the roadside street lamps.

"Xiao Xie, be smart, there was a bloody burglary in the dock area last night, you must be vigilant!"

The middle-aged patrol admonished.

"Yes, Senpai!"

The younger juniors responded loudly.

In a dark alley not far behind the two, Thorn was crouching, and the long sword held in his right hand was quietly waiting for the figures of the two patrols to go away.

After a few moments, the two patrolling figures disappeared at the end of the road, and he used his sword as a crutch to the ground and struggled to get up.

As soon as he stood up straight, his eyes were dark, and he felt dizzy, spinning, and almost fainting.

"Not good! Excessive physical exhaustion. ”

His heart tightened, knowing what would happen if he fainted here in this dress at this time, and immediately bit the tip of his tongue with the last clarity and strength.

Hiss......

A smell of blood accompanied by sharp pain spread in his mouth, and Thorn suddenly felt that his mind was clear, and the vague scene in front of him was finally clear.

"Whew...... It's dangerous. ”

Thorn bent down and took a deep breath, only to feel weak, mentally tired, and his heart pounding.

Knowing that it was the sequelae of the secret method that boosted the body's potential, he barely bred up, supported his tired body, and used his sword as a crutch to continue walking.

All the way forward, a gust of sea breeze accompanied by the smell of the sea blew, knowing that his destination was not far away, he quickened his pace, fortunately he did not encounter a night patrol along the way.

The blood stains on the blood-stained black clothes had dried up, and the blood stains on the long sword had also turned black, emitting a foul smell; Tired and hungry, Thorn only felt that his hands and feet were a little cold, and he endured the discomfort and walked to the edge of the pier not far from the apartment he rented, hid in the shadows, and looked around.

The noisy and bustling docks were empty at this time, except for the heavier smell of the sea and the smell of seafood. The street lamps that stand here cast a dim glow, through which you can see several steamships moored here.

There are lights on the ship, and you can faintly hear the laughter of people on the ship, and it is about the night sailors doing some entertainment to pass the time.

"There is no one on the shore, there are sailors on the ship to keep vigil, be careful."

Thorn made a judgment, then walked briskly into a dark alley by the dock in the shadows of the unlit light, took a few steps forward, and then bent down and groped for a package wrapped in black linen.

"Found it."

Thorn was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the package, revealing the clothes inside, he quickly took off the bloodstained black clothes on his body, and groped in the dark to change into clean clothes, and finally finished all this, and found a few stones nearby, and wrapped them with the black clothes he took off.

This package was placed here in advance before he set off in the evening, just for this moment.

After changing into normal clothes, Thorn walked to the mouth of the alley, looked again, and after confirming that there was no one, he quietly walked to the dock, bent down, and reached out to slowly put the black clothes and long sword wrapped in stones into the water.

After letting go, the two pieces of evidence of his murder tonight slowly sank to the bottom of the sea in front of him, and then washed his hands covered with dried blood with seawater.

Standing up, he put his hand in front of his nose and smelled it, the smell of blood had faded a lot, and he looked at it through the light again, although there was still a little blood stain remaining, but it was no longer very conspicuous.

Call...... Thorn's heart, which had been tense, relaxed.

Admittedly, he still smells a little bad on him, but it's better than just dressed up and returning to the rented place.

In case that dressed up and returned to the place where he lived, he would be in this state again, whether it was leaving traces or being seen, he would be dead.

After all this, he walked quickly back to the rented apartment, but fortunately there was no one along the way, and he lightly touched his room.

The moment he closed the door, he saw everything familiar in front of him through the moonlight shining through the window, and finally let out a long breath

The room was not large, but there was a bed, a table, a chair in front of the table, and two wooden cabinets, one of which contained six tablets, and a small incense burner in front of it; Next to it was a stove with a sink for washing vegetables and a washroom with a tarpaulin door. There was also a large bowl on the table with a lid on it and a cup next to it.

Thorn immediately opened the canvas door of the bathroom, after a burst of water, Thorn had already washed his hands, and immediately sat down on the chair after coming out, reached out to remove the lid of the pot, and saw that there were still three buns in the big bowl on the table, and when he reached out and touched it, it was already cold.

At this time, there are so many thorns on the chest and back that are already hungry, and he bites when he opens his mouth, the bun is stuffed with pork, and the juice is left along the corner of the thorn's mouth in one bite, and he wipes it off with his cuffs.

Although the clothes were clean, they also smelled of blood, so I couldn't ask for them.

After eating the first big meat bun in three or two bites, he went to the stove and took out a hot water bottle and poured a large cup of hot water.

With the hot water, the thorns swept away the other two buns.

When he was full of wine and food, his hands and feet, which had been cold from excessive physical exertion, warmed up again, and he collapsed on the back of his chair with satisfaction, and he couldn't help but relive everything that happened tonight in his mind.

"After the incident, I will go to the clothes, and hide my merit and fame. Hey, that's apt. ”

took out the money bag of the governor named Fang Yuanzhi from his arms, weighed it twice, and listened to the pleasant sound of silver horns colliding, he showed a faint smile:

"So, it's a game, right?"

Tonight, I will do this killing, but there is not much turmoil in Thorn's heart at this moment.

There is neither the cruelty nor the excitement of killing, nor the regret and fear of taking the lives of others.

This is the trait of a top trader in a previous life.

In his previous life, when he was still fighting in the financial market, he always made a calm and rational judgment, made a plan, and resolutely implemented it, ignoring all the doubts of the bookmakers.

Trading and gambling are just behaviors, and making money is the goal. Therefore, he will not be obsessed with the pleasure of profit and game, but will withdraw in time when the profit reaches the expectation in his heart, and will not be nostalgic.

It's the same tonight, killing people is just an act, and escape is the goal. He doesn't feel guilty about the person he killed, and he doesn't indulge in killing, he just focuses on his original purpose - to escape.

But he also knows that his personality is indeed very different from ordinary people.

Except for a few people in Tsumonji's black gloves, he let them go, and the rest were all killed by him, just to create a chance for himself to escape.

He is a member of the Xia tribe, and for the wolf barbarian government, a person like him is a person who has no fear of the government, and can be called a real thief who must be killed and punished.

"Tomorrow at the latest, as soon as tonight, Tsumonji will know what happened, and then they will immediately liquidate those Red Turban Gang members who don't know the truth, and those black gloves from the military will probably be cleaned up together, and then there will be the inevitable storm that will sweep the whole city."

"But what does that have to do with me? I'm just a little watch apprentice who broke someone else's belongings because I couldn't afford to pay it off and eventually ran away. ”

Weighing the money bag twice, and putting it in the drawer of the table, Thorn showed a mocking smile, and then entered the bathroom, first the sound of undressing, then the sound of running water, and after a quarter of an hour, the already cleaned Thorn walked out of the bathroom in his pajamas.

When I came to a cabinet, there was an alarm clock on the cabinet, which was of course not a high-end product from overseas, but a bargain for ordinary people in China.

After he finished setting the alarm time, he put the alarm clock away, his body couldn't hold it anymore, and he fell into bed and fell asleep.

Tomorrow will be a new beginning.

————

The suburb of Jinmen Port, the headquarters of the Red Turban Gang.

At this time, the whole house was plunged into a raging fire, and many people were already surrounded by the guardrail outside the house.

Judging by the clothes, they should all be residents of the neighborhood, and they are all pointing at this sea of fire at this time.

"What a fire, did anyone escape?"

Someone asked.

"Run? Phew, it's good to be all dead. ”

A young man with a vegetable face with some patches on his clothes said hatefully.

"Why do you talk like that, man? What's in it for you to be dead? ”

A middle-aged man accused.

"You know what? This house is a gangster nest! ”

The young man who spoke in front of him glanced at the middle-aged man with disdain.

"What? Are you telling the truth? ”

The people around them all let out similar exclamations, they were all dressed up in the Xia clan, and it was said that the wolf barbarians were treated by the government in Dachong, so they would not fall to the bottom in turn.

"Nonsense, I've seen quite a few people with scars on their faces coming in and out of this house, with murder weapons around their waists! It doesn't seem to be a good person, the guards of this house also carry swords, not gangsters, can they have this posture? ”

The young man of the Xia clan glanced around him with disdain, and their amazed eyes satisfied his vanity.

"I see!"

"Is it a gangster?"

"Look! There are two corpses at the gate! ”

The people around you should be in harmony.

At this time, several patrolmen wearing black-clothed patrol uniforms and carrying flintlock pistols were brandishing their knives in front of the big iron gate of the guardrail, shouting loudly to the crowd that surrounded them: "Scatter, scatter, nothing to see!" ”

"The fire extinguishing team of the Jinmen Division will be here soon, and they are gathering around to make a fuss and obstruct the government's affairs, and arrest you all!"

"Scattered, scattered! If you don't disperse, you won't be able to eat and walk around! ”

The crowd around heard the shouts of these patrols, thought of their usual behavior and the gossip they heard every day, and they all shrank and scattered.

In the scattered crowd, three men walked out along the flow of people, and when the people around them disappeared from their field of vision, the three of them looked at each other head-on:

"Wouldn't it? Are they all dead? ”

"You can't be wrong, otherwise the headquarters won't burn up."

"Fortunately, we are running fast, little wolf, what should we do next?"

The man named Xiao Wu was a round-faced young man, he looked at the skyrocketing fire in the distance, and gritted his teeth: "Run!" You must not be caught by the government! ”

The old wolf was a fierce-looking young man, and he immediately nodded:

"That's right! But we have to go to our men and get some money first, or we won't survive for a day!" ”

The man who asked the question was a little frightened when he heard this, swallowed his saliva, and said tremblingly: "We are betraying the government......

"When the three of us ran away, we were already deserters."

The old wolf glanced at his comrades-in-arms, a little contempt in his heart, and said coldly.

"That's right, what's more, the whole house is dead, the chief of Wu is dead, we are still alive, according to the military system of Dachong, below the chief of Wu, the chief of Wu is dead, and all four people under his command are buried together! Now even the governor is dead, and now if we don't run, it's too late! ”

When the man who was a little frightened heard this, he gritted his teeth:

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
