Chapter 352: The Last Step
What does the Dark River look like? Where is the road to the Dark River? This is probably the most curious question of the people in the rivers and lakes, mystery seems to be the code name of the Dark River, the mysterious Dark River Killer, the mysterious Dark River Leader, the mysterious Dark River Territory, as long as there is nothing that belongs to the Dark River, there seems to be no mystery that is not mysterious.
The dark river seems to shroud in this veil of mystery, you can't easily touch the dark river, but the dark river seems to be around you, how many killers are there in the dark river, and what kind of people are these killers?
The most people know about the Dark River Killer is the story of Xiaoyaozi, Xiaoyaozi's assassination of the head of Wudang can be described as a sensation in the rivers and lakes, although the assassination was not successful in the end, but this incident seems to be a wake-up call to the people in the rivers and lakes.
Xiaoyaozi is the number one killer of the dark river, the killer of the dark river will actually carry out the task of assassinating the head, how ambitious is this dark river, many people began to wonder, wondering what kind of organization the dark river is, is the dark river just an ordinary killer organization?
No, what people see now is by no means a killer organization that exists to make money, after the assassination of the head of Wudang spread in the rivers and lakes, many heads of sects are wondering if such a thing will happen to them, and will the killer of the dark river suddenly appear in his room one day and stab himself with a sword?
The failure of the Xiaoyaozi mission has brought a lot of impact to the dark river, and the heads of each sect seem to be paying attention to the dark river's every move intentionally or unintentionally, and after a long period of observation, someone finally finds out that the dark river seems to have a huge conspiracy, which makes the heads panic, so these heads began to target the dark river, and when these heads agreed on a plan for the dark river, the dark river suddenly disappeared.
Disappearing means gone, just one day the news of the dark river was all interrupted, the dark river seemed to have never appeared, the various masters wanted to find it, but they had no trace at all, and they had to give up after a period of searching.
But has the Dark River really disappeared? No, this is just a ploy of the previous leader of the Dark River, he understands that with the strength of the Dark River, if he fights hard with these sects, he will definitely lose both, and this result is not good for the Dark River, so the Dark River is just temporarily avoiding its edge, and everyone in the Dark River is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a chance to win with one blow.
As everyone knows, this wait is more than ten years, and the previous leader of the dark river did not wait for this day to die, so he can only pin his hopes on his son, his son is the trusted leader of the dark river, Su Xiaoyu.
The trusted leader of the Dark River is only a young man in his twenties, which makes the killers of the Dark River can't help but wonder, they are wondering if the leader can lead them at such a young age? This problem disappeared after only half a year, because Su Xiaoyu only took half a year to prove his existence, and now the killers of the Dark River trust Su Xiaoyu far more than Su Xiaoyu's father.
How can I become the killer of the Dark River? This has always been a question that Xiong Yu is curious about, and now that he has asked this question, Han Wei's answer is also very simple, that is, assassination, this answer seems to be very simple, but it is not so simple.
Han Wei didn't wait for Xiong Yu to open his mouth before continuing: "The assassination of Dark River is not an ordinary assassination. ”
Xiong Yu couldn't help but wonder: "An assassination is an assassination, is there any difference between this?"
Han Wei shook his head and said, "The assassination missions of the killers of the Dark River are all special,"
"Specially, how do you say this?" Xiong Yu was even more puzzled.
Han Wei thought for a while and said, "There are two kinds of assassinations in the Dark River, one is the assassination where people are paid, and the other is the assassination that is not paid. ”
Xiong Yu smiled and said, "Will anyone do the assassination without pay? Isn't the assassination of the killer just for the silver?"
Han Wei Zhengse said: "An assassination without pay is exactly what every killer is eager to do. ”
Xiong Yu was a little puzzled and said, "Is there any benefit to this unpaid assassination?"
Han Wei nodded and said: "You are right about this, this kind of unpaid assassination is a task issued by the leader of the Dark River himself, and the killers who can perform this kind of assassination mission must be the top, if they do well and get the favor of the leader, then the status of this killer in the Dark River is different, and the killers in the Dark River are divided into levels." ”
"What level?" Xiong Yu immediately asked.
Han Wei stretched out five fingers and said, "There are a total of seven levels of killers in the Dark River, and each level represents a different treatment. ”
Looking at the curious expression on Xiong Yu's face, Han Wei continued: "These seven middle levels are represented by seven colors, which are red killing, orange killing, yellow killing, green killing, blue killing, purple killing, seven middle level killers Red killing is the lowest, purple killing is the most mysterious, what you can see in the dark river is the killer who reaches the green killing level, and the blue killing and purple killing on the top of the green killing are directly under the orders of the leader, so they are basically not seen." ”
Xiong Yu nodded with a condensed face after listening, he didn't expect that the hierarchy of the dark river was so strict, it seemed that the dark river was far more complicated than he imagined, it seemed that competing with the dark river was not something that one person could do, that is, at this time, a seed slowly grew in Xiong Yu's heart.
Xiong Yu paused and said, "Then what level are you in secret?"
Han Wei scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm now at the Red Kill level, and I can successfully rise to Red Kill after completing two assassination missions." ”
Xiong Yu was slightly surprised: "With your strength, it's just a red kill in the dark river?"
Han Wei sighed and said, "If it weren't for that, how could this place be called the Dark River. ”
The carriage stopped suddenly, and the coachman knocked lightly on the door, and then Han Wei said to Xiong Yu: "It's here." ”
Xiong Yu's heart tightened: "Arrived at the dark river?"
Han Wei shook his head and said, "No, it's time to change the carriage." ”
Xiong Yu was wondering what Han Wei was saying when the car door suddenly opened, and then a person slowly walked into the carriage, Xiong Yu noticed that there was a small yellow sign on this person's chest, this should be a killer at the level of yellow killing, this killer stared at Han Wei and Xiong Yu carefully as soon as he came in, and only after confirming that it was correct, the killer said to Xiong Yu in a cold voice: "Turn around." ”
Xiong Yu frowned, and at this time, Han Wei gently pushed Xiong Yu with his arm and said, "This is the rule of the Dark River, every time you enter the Dark River, you must be blindfolded." ”
Xiong Yu turned around very reluctantly, and then Xiong Yu heard the killer's voice speaking to Han Wei, "Han Wei, I guess I don't have to repeat this rule to you." ”
Han Wei nodded and immediately turned around, this is the killer quickly took out two strips of black cloth from his arms and tied them to Xiong Yu and Han Wei's eyes respectively.
The killer took Xiong Yu and Han Wei to another carriage, there were no bumps in the carriage along the way, Xiong Yu thought that this must be a very smooth road, I don't know how long the carriage traveled, and when the carriage stopped here, Xiong Yu was already a little eager for light, and he was very uncomfortable with the environment where he couldn't see anything.
Han Wei was not in the same mood as Xiong Yu, because he was used to the process of going to the Dark River every time.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Xiong Yu heard the killer's voice, the killer's voice was still so cold, and the killer only said two words, "Get off." ”
Just when Xiong Yu was about to remove the black cloth strip with his hand, the killer suddenly said: "Don't take off the cloth strip." With that, the killer grabbed Xiong Yu's arm and took Xiong Yu out of the carriage.
There is always a feeling of uneasiness when people can't see anything, Xiong Yu has this feeling at the moment, he can't see anything, he doesn't know if the killer will suddenly stab himself with a sword.
The killer took Xiong Yu and walked forward, and after walking for about half a pillar of incense, Xiong Yu heard the sound of gurgling water, Xiong Yu frowned and said secretly in his heart: There is a river here, do you have to cross the river to go to the dark river.
If the killer really spoke, he said: "Every time the world changes." ”
After the sound of killing sounded, an echo was heard in the distance, "Change the fate of the world." As soon as the words fell, Xiong Yu heard the sound of paddling, and he really wanted to cross the river.
Xiong Yu couldn't hear Han Wei's voice on the boat, it seemed that Han Wei's task had been accomplished, and now it should be this yellow-level killer who brought Xiong Yu into the dark river.
Xiong Yu sat in the small boat and suddenly felt a little strange, because there must be wind when rowing on the river, but now Xiong Yu didn't feel a trace of wind at all, could it be that this jumping river was an undercurrent in the cave? Otherwise, how could he not even feel the slightest wind.
The boat moved slowly in the river, and no one spoke along the way, Xiong Yu could only hear the sound of the river flowing slowly.
There was a faint light in the distance, and the boatman couldn't help but increase his strength, Xiong Yu stood straight at the bow of the boat, and the killer standing behind Xiong Yu suddenly slowly put his hand into his arms, and then the killer's hand had a short blade that shone brightly, and the killer looked at Xiong Yu's back with cold eyes.
The boatman didn't seem surprised to see the killer's movements, he seemed to be used to it, looking at the killer's eyes as if watching a person eating, I don't know how many corpses like Xiong Yu have been buried in this river leading to the dark river, and the boatman Aunt Zhou is not surprised.
The killer's face suddenly showed a cruel meaning, he approached Xiong Yu quietly, in this rocking boat Xiong Yu was difficult to notice the killer's movements, the killer was already standing behind Xiong Yu, there was no expression on his face, his emotions did not fluctuate at all, because killing people in his eyes was the same as eating and drinking.
The killer's hand was already slowly accumulating, and just as he was about to stab the short knife hard, Xiong Yu suddenly spoke: "I can guarantee that my sword will pierce your throat before your knife is pierced." ”
The killer's movements stopped suddenly, he didn't know why Xiong Yu knew his intentions, could it be that he had exposed something? Impossible, impossible, he was confident in his assassination, he never made a sound, so how did Xiong Yu know his intentions?
Xiong Yu smiled and said, "Your killing intent is too heavy, if you can restrain your killing intent a little, maybe I will die under your knife." ”
The killer suddenly opened his mouth and smiled, and then Xiong Yu heard the killer say, "Congratulations." ”
