Chapter 9 9.Fate with the Devil
On the ninth day of the eighth month of the year of Renchen, late at night, it rained heavily.
I crouched on this remote and cold street corner, waiting for the target to pass by.
In order to hide, I disguised myself with many branches and leaves, and hid in the bushes on the side of the street. At first glance, I look like a boring weed, casual and unremarkable.
I received a tip-off that King Li might make an improvised operation tonight and kill a brothel owner named Gou Yun with his own hands.
In the old days, this Gou Yun used to be a thief in the market, and he used to steal for a living. Later, I became a turtle slave, but I was lucky for some reason, and I was on the list of a top-brand kiln sister named Li'er. Sister Yao later developed, married him, and gave him a sum of money to open his own shop and become the shopkeeper, and Li'er became the bustard.
I don't know why Zhang Hao has trouble with this woman in the skin and meat business, but tonight is a good time. Because the night cat had just died, and the informant reported that Leng Yan, Ziyu, and Tie Li were not following him today.
So...... Maybe I'll get a chance to do it then. But at the same time, maybe tonight will be the end of my life.
I'm ambushing here now, just trying to find out how many people he will have tonight, what I can do with the best certainty, and how I can escape if I fail. When you are a killer, you must think of a way out in advance.
For me, it was not difficult to get in the sun or rain or something. I've been trained much more brutally than that. Not to mention that I can survive by soaking in the rain for one night, even if I don't move for three days and three nights.
Killers must have the ability to adapt to all environments, and they must be more able to endure hardships than other people in the rivers and lakes, martial arts and recklessness, and practitioners of any type of work in the world.
Otherwise, how can you do this kind of profession that defies the sky, loses morality, and destroys humanity.
Scold...... Danger is ever-present, life is like a gamble, and people dancing on the tip of a knife.
Come to think of it, those famous assassins in history, Jing Ke, Nie Zheng, Zhuan Zhu, Cao Mo, Yu Rang, Yao Li, Zhu Hai, etc., actually don't have my basic qualities. If they were to give me the task, the odds would be much greater.
But at this point, I always had a bad feeling that it was not good. This damn right eyelid jumps every now and then, disturbing the mood for no reason.
Mayer, Mayer, Mayer......
I have said your name countless times in the depths of my heart, and I have looked at your face in my sleep. I believe that with me guarding the dream, no nightmare can hurt you.
Now that I have this powerful, rebellious, and unbelievable "Rahu" sword in my hand, I believe that I will be able to be a dutiful guardian saint in my dreams. What kind of ghosts and demons, in front of me, are all in vain.
Take care, dear Phil.
......
Tonight, I don't know what will happen to me.
In such a cold and rainy night, I disguised myself as this inconspicuous grass and tree, except for the people in the organization who might be watching me, I guess no one would have thought that at this time, this wet bush and grass pile would hide a person full of murderous intentions.
I'm about to wait for the time to do it!
However, I was wrong, very wrong!
I had no idea when I was exposed, but just as I was silently enduring the endless icy rain, an arrow suddenly burst from the southwestern sky, exploding brightly in the air, slowly transforming into the shape of three purple butterflies.
Huh? This is ...... An advanced warning sign in the organization, Gongsun Fluttershy is here!
Butterfly Valley - Fluttershy, one of the legendary elders of the Order, is second only to the Leader.
This signal is the first time I've seen it. I wouldn't have believed it unless I saw it with my own eyes. Before that, I had only heard what this signal looked like.
What is it that can alarm Gongsun Fluttershy?
Just as I was hesitating, suddenly, I felt a strange movement on the roofs of several places around me, and before I could understand the situation, I only heard the sound of "Zheng Zheng" golden chime, as if countless hidden weapons were shooting from all directions.
Just as I was screaming badly, the "Rahu" sword burst out of its back, dancing sharply in the air, and the spinning windmill "clanged bells" to shoot down all the hidden weapons that were shooting at me from all sides.
it!
"What a 'Rahu' sword!
I didn't even know where the secret weapon came from, but you blocked it for me!
Is this really true?
For a moment, I was stunned and sighed with infinite emotion: What kind of artifact is this? It is so spiritual, and when I encounter danger, it actually has a soul and life! It can take the initiative to jump out...... Protect me?
What a blessing!
Such a strange sword, the night cat touched it for less than half an hour, so he told it to kill back, and now it can treat me like this...... I, I, I, I can't believe it!
Such a divine soldier, I am even lucky! What good deeds have I done in my last life?
Or am I related to demons? This demonic sword is so friendly to me because...... Sss
Now that the situation is critical, I can't think too much about it, so it's important to save my life first!
However, although Rahu's sword was brave, it still couldn't withstand the dense attacks from all directions. When another burst of hidden weapons came, although most of them were shot down, there were still fish that slipped through the net.
"Puff puff!" With the sound of a few gold instruments entering the flesh, I instantly felt my back tighten, and the pain in my heart immediately filled the four acupuncture points of Fengmen, Tianzong, Diaphragm, and Shoulder Zhen. After a moment of pain, a feeling of paralysis began to spread from the right shoulder to the whole body.
"Oops! This secret weapon is poisonous!"
It's really unlucky. The power of this secret weapon is so powerful that it can penetrate my personal armor and shoot into my flesh and bones. Judging from years of experience in using hidden weapons, this must not be done by manpower, and there must be many hard crossbow mechanisms lurking around.
Oh my God, that's enough to kill me, and I have to quench poison on the secret weapon...... Damn, I'm afraid I won't die!
Prey in a trap.
Will I be able to escape?
