Chapter 654: A Knife in the Dark!
A few days later, on the outskirts of a small town.
"Not here again?" Donn asked Harry, who looked helpless as he hurried over
"Well, the brother from the secret agency said that the guild leader here had sneaked out of the city last night and was still missing. Harry scratched his head, his expression a little disdainful, "Boss, this is already the fifth...... Deliberately avoiding us, isn't the Bounty Hunters Guild afraid?"
No wonder Harry is disdainful, things have clearly changed since yesterday. The leaders of the guilds in various places changed their previous style of desperate resistance and fled the area in a hurry, causing Tang En and them to pounce several times in a row.
Originally, if you can't provoke it, you can't hide it, this is normal thinking. But it also depends on who the target is, this is the Bounty Hunters' Guild of Aurish Bran's hundreds of years! Now they have made such a passive and non-resistance attitude, which naturally makes Harry and the others despised! Of course, at the same time, they are also a little helpless, because if the strong side is willing to let go, then the weak side will undoubtedly have fewer chances......
"Not so much...... Wait and see. Saying noncommittally, Tang En still didn't believe that the Bounty Hunters Guild would be so easy to soften, touched his chin, and looked up at the walls of the small city, "Well, wait for David and them to come back." ”
Sure enough, David hurried out of the city not long after, bringing different news: "Boss, the Bounty Hunters Guild wants to negotiate with us. ”
"Huh?" Although Don decided that the other party would have some way back, he was stunned by the compromise negotiation method, and his brows furrowed slightly, "Source?"
David said directly: "Shili is spreading underground in the city, I have confirmed it." This news is true. ”
"Ugh. What a ...... to kneel after killing so many people?" shook his head. Harry looked incredulous, then paused, narrowed his eyes as if he were a profiteer, "There won't be any fraud in this, right?"
Contempt is contempt, but Harry will not underestimate the Bounty Hunters Guild because of this, and immediately doubt the sincerity of this so-called negotiation.
However, Tang En waved his hand indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you cheat or not, this negotiation is a joke for us." Hehe, what we want is to take the place of the Bounty Hunters Guild in the North. It is impossible for the other party to agree to this, and sooner or later they will have to fight. ”
After a pause, he muttered thoughtfully, "But this time is an opportunity, since it is a negotiation, the status of the other party is definitely not low, and it should be able to give us something new...... Well, where is the place of negotiation?"
David's expression was a little strange: "Three days later, Cold Water City!"
Tang En couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then he was a little stunned. This time, they chose the assassination route very arbitrarily. But in general, it is still going back, if the other party analyzes it carefully. You should be able to roughly guess the range of their target next time. This is also the confidence of the other party to set the trap before, and it is also the premise of spreading the news this time......
"So, we're ...... away from Coldwater now"
David spread his hands: "If we go straight, the next stop will be Coldwater City." Touching his nose, Don shook his head and sighed, "No wonder this place is a little familiar......
It turned out that before he knew it, Tang En had led the gray space back and forth and returned to the starting point......
......
Now that the other party has proposed to negotiate, and it is Cold Water City again, Tang En naturally has no interest in continuing to abuse vegetables, and directly leads everyone back to Cold Water City.
As soon as he returned to the city's secret service stronghold, Don learned that Luke had safely escorted Josia back to the camp, and had turned around the day before yesterday, bringing back an unexpected person......
"Little Carlo, are you sure?"
"Yes, sir, I'm sure. ”
Listening to the report of the secret agency personnel, Tang En was stunned for a moment, he hadn't seen this sister for a long time, or more surely, the two hadn't seen each other since they went to the front line at the beginning of the year.
When he returned to Bran before, Don also learned some news about Little Carol from Josia, knowing that the other party had come out to look for him, and he also got rid of the secret followers of Harry and others at that time, but because he inadvertently saved Raymond, he was hunted down by the people of the Temple of Light with Jack, but fortunately, Zuihou did not have an accident......
The corners of his mouth gradually rose, and his always indifferent face became a little warmer, and Tang En asked with a smile, "Where is she now?"
"Miss Lena, my lord, do you need me to inform me?"
"Oh, Xiexie, no, I'll go over here. With a wave of his hand, Don smiled and thanked him, and then dismissed David and them, and couldn't wait to go out.
Lena's alchemy hut is on the banks of the Coldwater River, near the southern wall. Tang En's current location was not far from there, he didn't drive a carriage, he shuttled directly through the lanes, and ran towards the southern city with a familiar car.
However, when crossing a commercial street, Don paused, turned his head to look at the hotel sign not far away, hesitated, and walked towards the hotel.
"Your Excellency, may I ask if it is accommodation or ......?"
"Find someone. ”
"Oh......" In the regretful look of the innkeeper, Don walked up to the second floor of the inn, looked left and right, walked to the innermost room, paused at the door, and reached out to knock on the door.
Knock, knock, knock...... The rhythmic knocking on the door had just fallen, and the door slid open silently. An emaciated figure appeared behind the door like a ghost, dressed in black robes, almost blending into the dark room behind him. Looking up slightly, the cold silver light flickered......
It turned out that under the brim of the hood hat was not a normal person's face, but a silver metal mask with a cold light, with the indifferent and silent eyes behind it, the whole person looked extremely weird.
Dry and hoarse voice, "Boss......"
Tang En's gaze swept over the silver mask, paused, then looked the black-robed man up and down, and asked calmly, "Are you healed?"
"Yes. The black-robed man nodded slightly, silent.
At this moment, there was the sound of tapping footsteps on the stairs, which could be heard clearly in the silent corridor. The black-robed man silently retreated out of the way, and Tang En stepped forward into the room, closing the door with his hand.
The doors and windows of the house are tightly covered, leaving no gaps in light, and when you enter, you feel as if you are in the ink. But of course, this will not cause any obstacle to Donne, and of course, the same is true for the black-robed man.
Taking a slight breath, Tang En still said calmly: "Since you choose to come back by yourself, then from now on, there will be no more Mi Xiu in this world, only a knife......!
Yes, the man in the silver mask is none other than Mixiu!
At that time, in the vast river, it was indeed impossible for Emixiu's injuries to go ashore with his bare hands. But don't forget the boat Don was in when he came, and the spot where Michaeu was thrown out of the cabin was around where it was docked.
As Luke speculated, Don really couldn't bear to kill Michaeu. Of course, in addition to this, there is another important reason - if Don wants to establish a killer organization, he must have more trustworthy people to assist.
Although David, Luke and others are loyal enough, they are much worse than Mixiu in terms of ability! There is also a gap in heart, if a member of the gray space, or someone in the secret agency betrays, David, Luke and others will be a little hesitant to chase after them, but Mixiu will not ......
Of course, these were just Donn's expectations, in fact, he gave Michau two ways at that time, one was to leave here far away, suicide or be killed! The other was to choose to return, but he could only stay in a place where the light could not shine in this life, and become a knife for Donn in the dark......
Without thinking about it, Mixiu in the dark nodded lightly: "Okay." ”
"You don't have to say yes so simply, I hope you'll think it through. Tang En faintly looked at the vague figure a few meters away, "Promise, you will have no relatives and friends, no mercy and no desire in this life, and you can only be accompanied by blood, killing, and cold corpses for the rest of your life." Besides me, David, Luke, Harry, Josia...... You have to stay out of the eyes of everyone who knows you. Just like the mask they wear now, they can never let 'Mixiu' appear in front of them......"
"No, it won't. In the darkness, the hoarse voice was a little ethereal and lonely, "Mixiu is dead...... The mask is branded and cannot be taken off......"
Quiescence!
Tang En's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he nailed straight into Mi Xiu's face like an arrow, staring at the silver mask that had been completely integrated into his flesh...... Half-ringing, he nodded expressionlessly, "Very good." ”
