Killers are always highly capable and arrogant, but the more capable they are, the more ordinary they appear.
If you have a ferocious face and a murderous aura all over your body, you are like a butcher. To say he is a killer, it is better to say he is a god of death! As he walked toward that station, his face seemed to read: I'm here to take your life! With just a few big characters, there’s no need to worry about not being noticed.
Therefore, all those who are famous on the list are unknown people. They may be bearers, salt merchants, or more likely the smiling waiters in the winery.
Although the above few words seem insignificant and irrelevant, they are also a small episode in the story of the "black raccoon" that will be told next.
In today's world, there are Taoist priests of sects to maintain order, and there are bandits and bandits who stir up trouble. However, due to various entangled interests, some problems are difficult to solve in an honest way, and a new force gradually emerges - killers.
In the beginning, these killers were just a group of homeless homeless people who were ordered to solve the financial owner's serious problems. Later, they were gathered together by a mysterious man and formed an assassination organization named: Spark Gate.
The meaning is obvious: a single spark can start a prairie fire.
Anyone who steps into the Spark Gate will lose their identity, name, and all proof of their existence.
According to the strength of the killer, the Xinghuo Gate is divided into the Heaven Gate, the Earth Gate, and the Human Gate. Each gate is ranked according to its strength, starting with number one and ending at one hundred.
Therefore, Tianmen No. 5, Dimen No. 30, Renmen No. 96, etc. are the new starting points for the killers of the Spark Gate.
But this title is not the end of the killer. As long as you complete the tasks on the Starfire Gate bounty list and gain a certain number of points, you can improve your ranking based on your contribution. The higher the ranking, the better the treatment will be. Once new blood joins, those who are squeezed out of the crowd will disappear forever.
Therefore, compared to the deterrence power of Xinghuo Gate to the outside world, everyone in Xinghuo Gate is walking on thin ice.
However, these are just those who pursue advancement. Those who are somewhat capable but have no intention of striving for fame and fortune will just do a few tasks and live happily.
For many years, no one joined, and the Xinghuo Sect became even more lazy. Until one day, an organization named "Zixu" appeared out of nowhere and stole a lot of its "business". The killers are also like resentful women, complaining and complaining again and again.
Although privately, these killers complained, they were just words. As long as their position is not shaken, even if Zixu breaks the sky, they will just pull the tiles to cover their heads and stay alone. Instead, a new kid came inside the Star Fire Gate and kept climbing up, all the way from the Human Gate to the Dimen No. 1 position, making them very fearful.
Although he is afraid, these old ghosts from Tianmen have been standing still for many years. Regardless of their strength, even their points are far ahead of him by a few streets.
These people were not so worried at first. Until one day, Tianmen No. 100 found that his points were soon being overtaken, and he finally felt a sense of crisis.
For a time, everyone in Tianmen, who was originally lazy and idle, also found the feeling of being a wage earner. Every day, you compete with each other to take over tasks. Their arrogance has long been thrown out of the sky. Even the humble task of killing a wild dog is still up for grabs. His head was bleeding.
For a time, the outside world reached a brief period of peace and prosperity. Even if you accidentally bumped into someone on the road, you had to kowtow and admit your mistake, for fear of being listed on the reward list and dying unexpectedly.
The world is becoming more and more peaceful, but the Xinghuo Gate Tianmen is getting more and more uneasy. I don’t know where Dimen No. 1 came from so many missions, and the points are increasing day by day.
Although Dimen No. 1’s points are still far behind those at the top of Tianmen, I don’t know which unlucky guy will be squeezed out of Tianmen. Although it is not fatal just to fall into the earth gate, Tianmen's usually domineering attitude will inevitably lead to ridicule and ridicule once he falls into the earth gate.
Finally, someone in the door came up with a brilliant idea. Although everyone was a little hesitant, they could only rely on this method to give it a try.
One day, Dimen No. 1 completed his mission and just returned to Dimen, but felt that the atmosphere in the Dimen was tense. Out of the killer's instinct, he became cautious, pushed open the door of Dimen, and then wrapped the The wooden pile's clothes were thrown into the hall, and in an instant, countless cold lights split the wooden pile into sawdust.
Just when he was about to fight back, he saw many figures with Tianmen number plates hanging around their waists coming out and praising him for his vigilance.
The leader said that it was not only a test, but also a welcome ceremony to celebrate his upcoming entry into the Heavenly Gate. If he can't even pass this level, there is no need to enter Tianmen.
Although Dimen No. 1 was displeased, after all, this was indeed the rule of the Xinghuo Sect, so he turned around and left without saying anything.
But before he could turn around, he was surrounded by everyone from Tianmen, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense again.
The leader saw him taking out his short stick with a fierce look on his face, and hurriedly walked up to him with a smile and explained that they had a difficult task that needed everyone to complete together. If they solved it perfectly, the points they would get would be enough for each of them to get another one. steps.
Dimen No. 1 has no pursuit of points or status. He just wants to keep getting stronger. However, hearing that the task was difficult made him a little interested, and he looked at the man in front of him with burning eyes. The Tianmen killers around him smiled cunningly, with an expression like a fish taking the bait.
Seeing that Dimen No. 1 was interested, the man told him about his plans to assassinate the leader of Zixu. Upon hearing this, the latter frowned and hesitated.
Although the two killer sects are incompatible, taking action without permission is not only extremely dangerous, but also unethical. After all, this task is not on Tianmen's reward list.
Hearing Dimen No. 1 ask his doubts, the man took out a list, which actually contained a reward for assassinating the leader of Zixu. This person handed the list to Dimen No. 1, and then explained that the task was too difficult, so the sect leader had people put it on hold. This time, they also heard that Dimen No. 1 was very capable, so they had it. The confidence to accomplish this task.
Dimen No. 1 saw that the ink on the list was still wet, as if it was written in a hurry, and he was dubious in his heart. Seeing this, the man explained that it was the moisture in the room. This completely eliminated Dimen No. 1's doubts, and they agreed. It's time to prepare to go out together.
Although the leader of Zixu was not difficult to find, he must be very difficult to deal with. They followed him secretly for several days to figure out his pattern of actions and finally made a detailed plan.
In order to give Dimen No. 1 a chance to perform, these Tianmen killers will lure away a few people around this person, and then let Dimen No. 1 kill this person personally. Dimen No. 1 naturally had no doubts, but was vaguely looking forward to the next action.
Before the Tianmen people left, they specifically told Dimen No. 1 to take action when they saw the signal. Then everyone winked at each other and disappeared into the night.
Dimen No. 1 nodded and turned to leave, but he did not see the ecstasy of the successful conspiracy behind everyone's masks.
Just as they had always judged, the leader of Zixu came to a pavilion in a courtyard, drinking by himself under the flickering candlelight, which was quite enjoyable. However, the few people following him took a long time to arrive. They must have been lured away by the Tianmen people, so he felt relieved.
I saw that the head of Zixu had a handsome face, very young, and seemed to be about the same age as himself. At this moment, I don't know who I was thinking of, leaning on my chin and shaking my body leisurely, with a faint smile hanging on the corner of my mouth.
A long time passed, but there was still no signal, which made Dimen No. 1 a little confused. However, as a qualified killer, he was not anxious at all. He was just like a civet cat, with its limbs pressed against the roof tiles, lurking in the shadows. , staring intently at his prey, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Suddenly, a sparkling firework lit up in the distant sky, disturbing the pure air in the yard. Dizi No. 1's eyes also lit up, he arched his body, jumped, and disappeared in place. .
"Fireworks are hidden in the eyes, beauty is in the heart, guests are hidden in the courtyard, come and have a drink!"
The young man's sudden chant gave Di Zi No. 1 an illusion. The man in front of him seemed to have been waiting for him, but he had an arrow on his string and had to shoot. He jumped down from the room with his legs glaring, and used his hands at a tricky angle. The short stick stabbed the young man in the back of the neck.
The short stick in his hand was getting closer and closer to the man, only one foot away from the young man, but the young man didn't notice it at all. He just held the wine glass in his hand and drank the last drop of the wine.
With a crisp "click" sound, Di Zi No. 1 held the short stick and froze on the spot. It was the first time in his life that he was so flustered and at a loss as to what to do.
The young man in front of him didn't even turn his head. He still held his chin with his other hand, maintaining the relaxed posture just now, but his body was slightly tilted. On the other hand, two fingers were curled up, and three fingers held the wine glass firmly, then moved it backwards to cover the end of the stick.
The two of them maintained such a strange posture and were deadlocked. A drop of fine wine slipped from the cup and dripped into the young man's neck. The young man took a breath of cold air and pressed his index finger against the bottom of the cup. Then he exerted slight force with his middle finger and flicked it on the young man's neck. on the bottom of the cup. Although the force was not strong, it made Di Zi No. 1's hand numb. The short stick flew out and stuck diagonally on the ground.
Under the quiet night sky, the cup bounced several times, and finally broke into pieces, shattering into pieces on the ground, just like the heart of No. 1.
Suddenly, several hurried footsteps sounded at the door, surrounding the ashen-faced Di Zi No. 1.
"Sir, who is this man? Do you want to kill him?" A woman with an evil expression pulled out a soft sword and was about to do it.
"It's okay, passersby, here to ask for a drink." The young man waved his hand, indicating that several people put down their weapons, filled the empty stone chairs around them, and chatted among themselves.
They chatted and laughed, casually talking about the trivial things that happened during the day, as if the number one in this place did not exist.
