Chapter 1: Murder on a Rainy Night

Next Chapter

To kill, or not to kill?

Outside the dilapidated temple, Chen Jiang wandered. The night in early spring was very cold, accompanied by a little rain, as if it was going to be cold to the bone marrow. The rain hit the eaves and rolled down, wetting Chen Jiang's clothes for a small part, but he didn't realize it.

Several times he stepped on the threshold of the broken temple, and he retreated again.

There is a bonfire burning in the ruined temple. The fire was not strong, and the light of the fire swayed in the cold wind, flickering and dimming. A fat beggar with unkempt hair and a shiny face leaned against the fire with his legs stilted and half-squinted. The fat beggar was wearing a silk robe that was already full of filth, and a torn cotton jacket of no color was mixed with it. Under the fat beggar, a little girl in thin clothes lay on the ground with her body curled. Her head rested on the stone bricks, her arms folded in front of her chest, and her body instinctively approached the fire, even though she was asleep.

Chen Jiang was nervous.

He opened the food box he was holding in his left hand, touched the sharp dagger hidden in the food box, gritted his teeth and walked towards the fat beggar.

This fat beggar, surnamed Xu, everyone calls him Fat Xu.

Fat Xu is the target of Chen Jiang's careful selection, although his martial arts skills are not high, but he is cunning, usually oppresses the good, and does many evils. Chen Jiang followed him for a long time, and finally waited for an opportunity today.

Half of the walls of the ruined temple were collapsed, dripping with water everywhere.

In the darkness, Chen Jiang couldn't see the fat beggar's face clearly. Of course, he didn't want to see it. What's so nice about a dying man. All he knew was that the night outside was dark, dark against the backdrop of the fire. The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is the time to kill.

Kill him!

Chen Jiang gritted his teeth and said to himself. Kill him, you can earn at least 20 experience, kill him, you can start to level up, play the ability of traversal, kill him, for the heavens, the government does not do.

Chen Jiang's steps were very heavy, and as he walked, he unconsciously slowed down.

Don't be afraid, kill him. It's just a game, just an NPC in front of you, that's it.

Pressing the dagger in the food box, Chen Jiang tried to calm himself down. However, the fear of imminent murder overcame reason, and Chen Jiang suddenly felt a strong twitch in his stomach.

"Wow. ”

For a while, Chen Jiang fell down and vomited wildly.

People with flesh and blood are not NPCs after all. Chen Jiang wanted to be cold-blooded, but he couldn't. It's no wonder that he was just a small house that had never killed a chicken before the crossing. Killing someone or something, it seems like I've never missed it like that.

After a while, the bile was almost gone, and then it gradually calmed down.

Raising his head, Chen Jiang saw that the fat man Xu had woken up and was looking at himself strangely.

Chen Jiang was suddenly shocked. He knew that although he had taken a picture of the fat man Xu when he was following him, he would never recognize himself in such a dim situation. He took two deep breaths to try to calm himself, then got up, straightened the whole food box, nodded to the fat man Xu and smiled: "I'm sorry, there are two mouthfuls of cold wind outside." The little one is the guy from Cui Xi Lou, but the takeaway that the master ordered?"

"That's what I called. The fat man Xu swept his gaze over Chen Jiang, his eyes were very sharp, "You are a buddy from Cuixi Building?" ”

"I'm new here. Chen Jiangqiang said with a smile.

"Oh, why didn't Liu Si come over?" The fat man Xu casually stirred up the fire and added a few sticks of firewood that were not damp.

"Who is Liu Si? ”

Chen Jiang tried to calm himself. Despite the cold, sweat stains were already on his head. He carefully covered the cloth in the food box with the dagger, and took out several large bowls containing steamed buns and vegetables.

"Really? Maybe I'm mistaken. The fat man stretched out his black hand, took it with all hands and feet, and arranged it in a circle on the spot.

"Oh, you're not talking about the lame little Deng. Ping said that he sent it. Chen Jiang smiled and said, "That Xiao Deng, his uncle who sells medicinal herbs came back, saying that he helped him meet a doorman, and rushed home this morning." I'm new here, and I'll take care of the errands. ”

The fat man Xu nodded with satisfaction, and Ji'er said compassionately: "Well, you will have two meals in the morning and evening, and you will deliver them in the future." Make it with snacks, beggar, I can't miss your reward. ”

Chen Jiang thanked him. Taking advantage of this, he glanced around the ruined temple. Finally, his eyes fell on the little girl in thin clothes. The little girl was pale, and her mouth bit her upper lip in her sleep.

"Look at what to see. Kidnapped. The fat man Xu snorted unhappily next to him, and scolded viciously: "Haven't you ever seen a kidnapping girl? ”

Chen Jiang hurriedly lowered his head.

The fat man Xu saw that Chen Jiang was silent, thinking that the child was timid, so he didn't take it to heart. Chen Jiang took out the same food, and at the end, it was a pot full of wine. Fat man Xu is good wine. Chen Jiang picked up a few dishes at random in the kitchen, but prepared good wine in advance.

"Ouch, there's wine. ”

The fat man's eyes lit up, and he crawled to hold the wine jug in his hand as if he had found a baby.

"Good wine, good wine. ”

The fat man Xu Wei trembled and raised the wine jug, tilted his head and poured the wine into his mouth. The corners of the hotel's mouth overflowed, dripping on his clothes, and he couldn't care about it. As he gulped down, the fat on his body also moved. After pouring a few sips in a row, the fat man Xu put down the wine jug, grabbed an elbow with his left hand, tore a chicken leg with his right hand, and said to Chen Jiang with slanted eyes while eating a big gulp, "You can get out." Don't get in the way of my drinking. ”

"It's not that I don't want to go, you see, I still have to clean up the dishes and chopsticks for you. ”

Chen Jiang agreed, carefully retreating to the side.

"That's a nice thing to say. Wait for the reward!" The fat man Xu glanced at Chen Jiang with disdain, laughed and poured two more sips of wine.

Probably smelling the aroma of food, the little girl in thin clothes by the fire woke up.

The little girl opened a pair of big eyes and looked at the fat man Xu with fear.

"Hehe, woke up?" the fat man Xu smiled lightly, "Did you see the beggar and I want to drink?" haha." Don't worry! Tomorrow I will send you to Wanhualou in the provincial capital, where my mother is fine. Alcohol every day. ”

The little girl hugged her legs and bent them together, trembling all over, and quickly lowered her head.

"I've never seen such a peugeot little girl. The fat man Xu Yin smiled, turned to Chen Jiang and said, "There are few maids in big families who can compare to her." In a few more years, maybe I will pick an Oiran from the Huaiyang River or something. The fat man Xu grabbed the little girl while drinking, as if trying to lift her face. The little girl struggled to retreat, but he grabbed her hair and dragged her forward.

"Wow. ”

Two bowls of food were knocked over, and the soup was sprinkled all over the little girl's clothes. Although her hair was grabbed and the pain was terrible, the little girl still bit her lip stubbornly and did not say a word.

"Little girl, I don't know how to lift. ”

The fat man Xu drank two sips of wine, started a drunken madness, and grabbed the little girl's clothes. The little girl's already thin clothes could withstand the pulling, and with a "hiss", half of the sleeves and the body were torn off. The little girl's white lotus-like arms were exposed, and the moon-white robe was already faintly visible. The little girl broke away from the fat man Xu, sat on the ground, hugged her hands in front of her chest, and kicked her legs back. She looked around blankly, helplessly, her eyes full of despair and fear.

"Where can you run?"

The fat man Xu took advantage of the strength of the wine, staggered to his feet, and walked in front of the little girl in a few steps.

"Phew. The little girl used all her strength to spit on the fat man when he bent over.

"And rebelled against you. "The fat man Xu is a slap on his backhand, and he doesn't pity the jade.

The little girl's face suddenly swollen like a steamed bun.

"Dare to spit on you, beggar, me. Grandma's, beggar, I'll take you in the evening. If you are crippled, you don't want to go to Wanhualou, grandma's, I will go to the cheapest kiln on the side of the road to pick up guests. Haha, it's all about driving cars, killing pigs, ten big bucks at a time. The fat man Xu patted the little girl's face, and Yin said with a smile.

The fat man Xu said, stretched out his rough hand to the little girl, "Huh", and ripped off a large piece of clothing.

Chen Jiang's eyes turned red, and his right hand pressed into the food box again.

"Die!"

Such a scumbag, standing in front of him completely unguarded. Don't kill and be sorry for your conscience.

"Ding! Target Assessment: You're no match for him at all. ”

"Ding!Target Value Assessment: 20+20, kill him and you will gain 40 XP. ”

In my head, the voice of the prompt sounded.

Chen Jiang knew that this was his own killing intent, and the boiling finally led the system prompt out.

Although it is frustrating that the system is not optimistic about him at all, although he is just a teenager with an abnormally thin body after crossing over, but now that he has a sharp blade in his hand, and he has a sneak attack with weak calculations, he really doesn't believe it, he can't kill that villain.

No longer hesitating, Chen Jiang drew his dagger and struck a blow at the back of the evil beggar with all his might.

"Ahh

With the angry roar of the fat man Xu, the carefully prepared blade completely submerged into his body.

"Little bastard, you dare to stab me?"

Fat Xu's face was twisted together due to pain, and it became extremely hideous at this time.

"I'm doing the right thing for heaven. You can die in peace!"

Seeing the surprised eyes cast by the little girl, Chen Jiang seemed to be full of strength all over his body. He tried to pull the dagger, but because it was pierced too deeply, he couldn't pull it out for a while, even though the dagger opened the blood groove.

"Ahh

The fat man roared, holding down the dagger with one hand and grabbing it towards Chen Jiang with the other.

Chen Jiang saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly let go of the dagger.

However, to Chen Jiang's surprise, the fat man Xu was still very athletic under his serious injury. The sudden burst of grappling hands was as fast and fierce as a poisonous snake. Chen Jiang had already retreated three steps away, and his wrist was still held by the fat man Xu.

"Cards, cards, cards. ”

Chen Jiang only felt a gentle force coming, followed by three consecutive crisp sounds, and his right wrist, right elbow, and right shoulder were all dislocated. In an emergency, Chen Jiang picked up a red-hot firewood from the ground with his left hand and waved it vigorously at the fat man Xu.

"Grandma's bear. ”

The fat man Xu still pressed his hand on the wound, and at this time he had no choice but to scold angrily, let go of Chen Jiang, and waved his hand to block the firewood.

"Smack. ”

The red-hot firewood was blocked, but the splashed sparks hit the fat man Xu with his head and face. For a while, the fat man Xu's hair, beard, and unkempt clothes were all set on fire. The fat man screamed and hurriedly slapped it with his hand.

Chen Jiang seized the opportunity and hurriedly ran to the back of the incense case of the broken temple.

"I'm going to kill you. ”

The blood kept flowing, but the fat man Xu didn't care about it. He hastily slapped off the spark and pounced on Chen Jiang.

"Here you go. ”

After a brief respite, Chen Jiang had calmed down. Seeing the fat man coming over, he grabbed one foot of the three-legged incense burner on a handful of incense cases and scattered all the incense ashes inside.

"Plop. ”

The line of sight was blocked, and the fat man Xu couldn't control it and crashed into the incense case, and immediately smashed the dilapidated incense case in half.

Knowing that the fat man Xu had a strange grappling technique, how could Chen Jiang dare to let the fat man Xu get close. Ignoring the pain in his arm, he quickly ran to the far corner and left the danger zone.

"I'm going to kill you...... Kill you. ”

The fat man Xu stood up and waved his arms around. However, as soon as the big killer of incense ash came out, it was difficult for him to find anyone.

The dagger has a blood groove, and when inserted into a person's body, it is simply a special tool for bloodletting.

The time was not very long, but the fat man Xu was already bloody. With his hideous appearance, the disheveled little girl on the side was also frightened. However, she was calm and did not cry and scream. I'm not stupid, I know to stay away.

Finally, the fat man Xu couldn't support it after being crazy for a few minutes, and gradually calmed down and didn't move.

The ruined temple was in shambles. The leftover soup from the fight went into the fire, and a scorching smell diffused at this time. Chen Jiang and the little girl carefully crawled out of the corner and glanced at each other, both of them with joy in their eyes.

"Is he dead?" said the little girl, struggling to her feet.

"Don't worry. Chen Jiang motioned for the little girl to step back, then picked up a stone brick and smashed it at the fat man Xu Yuan.

The stone bricks are heavy.

The sound of the wave hit the fat man Xu's chest. The sound was brittle, like a broken rib.

"Yes. ”

The fat man snorted, his body twitched twice, and he didn't move anymore.

At the same time, Chen Jiang sounded another prompt sound in his mind: "Ding, defeat the target person and gain 40 experience points." ”

"Ding, skip the level and defeat the target person, gain 80 experience points. ”

"Ding, the overall score of the battle is C+, and you get 7 experience points. ”;
