The truth is indeed correct, but somehow, seeing the other person's eyes, he became more and more uneasy, as if something inevitable and big was about to happen...
(No? How is it possible? Is this guy crazy? Does he know what he is about to do? Or does he really think he is invincible?)
After scanning the crowd and thinking for nearly a minute, He Fei finally made up his mind and spoke first: "Currently, we have 10 people, and there are 5 plot characters. Based on this, I decided to divide the people into 5 groups. Each team has two members, each protecting one plot character, that is, every two people protect one person, is that okay?”
The response was a unanimous nod.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, He Fei took a long breath and continued: "Well, well, since everyone has no objections, then... let's start grouping people."
………
After some careful consideration, He Fei decided to divide the 10 people into 5 groups and protect different plot characters respectively. The 5 groups are:
Yao Fujiang and He Fei teamed up to protect Zhou Ruoyi, Qian Xueling and Peng Hu teamed up to protect Hi Shi, Chen Xiaoyao and Gao Jikun teamed up to protect Li Xuanling, Cheng Ying and Xu Zhen teamed up to protect Lu Chengwei, and in the end One group consists of Zhao Ping and Tang Zhiyuan, responsible for protecting Chu Long.
"How's it going? Do you have any questions?"
He Fei's arrangement was quite unexpected, and most people did not expect this kind of grouping. The first three groups were fine, but the only thing that surprised everyone was the allocation of the last two groups. I thought He Fei would arrange Tang Zhiyuan and Xu Zhen as a team, but in the end they were separated. Among them, Zhao Ping and Tang Zhiyuan were the most incredible team, which was simply unexpected.
Faced with such a distribution, although everyone said nothing on the surface, everyone knew in their hearts that the two guys named Tang Zhiyuan and Xu Zhen were dangerous elements. If Cheng Ying, a powerful killer, and Xu Zhen were A group is still a reasonable suppression, so why are Zhao Ping and Tang Zhiyuan, who are not good at boxing and kicking, a group?
what happened?
Of course, not only others, but also Xu Zhen and Tang Zhiyuan were surprised by this arrangement. At first, they thought that the young man would arrange for them to be paired together, but they never expected that the result would be like this. Based on this confusion, they then After the arrangement was completed, Xu Zhen's expression changed instantly when he learned the distribution results. He became dissatisfied and weird, and finally developed into a twitching of the corners of his mouth. The short-haired man planned to say something, but was stopped by Tang Zhiyuan at the critical moment and was used by the man in the suit. The imperceptible look in his eyes stopped him, as if the two of them communicated like this frequently. Seeing the hint in each other's eyes, Xu Zhen swallowed the words abruptly. "
Realizing that everyone around him was silent, He Fei made no comment and agreed to his arrangement in front of everyone. He raised his head and glanced at the clock in the living room, then stood up from the sofa and said: "It's getting late. Since everyone is fine, then Let’s all set off immediately after dinner.”
In fact, this is not why He Fei is so anxious, let alone that he urged everyone to take action on the first day of the mission. It is because of the urgency of the situation, not to mention that things like worms never follow common sense. After all, this is a supernatural mission. World, who knows when the locusts will attack the plot characters? There is no denying that the mission time limit given by the curse is 10 days. According to logical analysis, the locusts should not attack so soon. However, please do not forget that the mission information does not clearly indicate the time of the locust attack, so it is natural. , for the sake of safety, the young man decided that everyone should set off as soon as possible to quickly find a few protected persons. As the saying goes, be careful and sail the ship for thousands of years. It is impossible for the experienced He Fei not to understand this truth, and the other senior people also do not understand it. You don’t understand. Compared with the team’s early youth, today’s seventh execution team is very different. The whole team has become more mature. Because of this, there is no need to say more unnecessary words. Most of the time, just one action is enough. Or a look can make both parties understand quickly, just like Tang Zhiyuan and Xu Zhen. Although the two did not know He Fei's team, they got to know each other through many cooperations.
………
The first day of the supernatural mission, in the evening.
Since the earlier discussion was at the end of the afternoon, and the time after the discussion was close to the evening, the specific action time was set at 19 o'clock, which means that when the time entered 19 o'clock, each group of personnel would immediately set off to rush to the location. Sure enough, , with the time being slightly delayed, most of the executors are currently on the first floor of the hotel, eating in the restaurant. Of course, nothing is absolute, at least Tang Zhiyuan and Xu Zhen did not appear in the restaurant.
Looking at the slightly empty restaurant due to the late time, and then glancing at the surrounding environment which was basically empty except for the executors, the executors who were sitting around the table for dinner felt a little nervous, especially when they noticed The feeling of uneasiness became even stronger after Tang Zhiyuan and his wife were not in the restaurant at all. Fortunately, not everyone was like this. For example, Cheng Ying and Zhao Ping, who were both engrossed in eating, acted very calmly, as if they didn't care at all about the danger of the two. Like a group of molecules.
As you can imagine, after staring and thinking for a long time, everyone was silent. Finally, after swallowing a mouthful of food, Yao Fujiang couldn't help it. Without saying a word, he directly asked He Fei: "Um... He Fei , why did you make this arrangement, why did you let Cheng Ying and Zhao Ping be grouped with those two dangerous elements? Logically speaking, it would be better to let Tang Zhiyuan and two people be alone, right? "
I don’t know if this statement hit the point directly. As the crew-cut young man asked the question, everyone present unconsciously looked at each other, glaring at each other. Others might be able to remain silent, but He Fei, who was always being stared at by Yao Fujiang, had to. Say something, listen to the other person's questions, put down the chopsticks, the college student reacted, it was a reaction, but in fact it was a bit weird, not the expected analysis and explanation, but a look of helplessness, and finally replied with a wry smile: "You think this is me Is it my personal intention? I can’t help myself..."
"Um? I can't help myself? Could it be..."
Seeing the other party's answer, he was surprised and stunned for a moment. Yao Fujiang really realized something, and then subconsciously turned his eyes to the side of the dining table. After passing Peng Hu and Qian Xueling, he subconsciously looked at Cheng Zhao and Zhao. Unexpectedly, Under the eyes, the two of them were still as calm and content as before. They were eating with expressionless faces and seemed not to care about the conversation just now. Seeing this, they were confused, but as they observed their reactions, gradually, the young man My heart still vaguely guessed the answer.
(Could it be that these two people took the initiative to ask He Fei to put them together with the two dangerous elements?)
Oh my God!
This is terrible. What do these two guys think? You must know that everyone now knows the identities of Tang and Xu's killers. Let's not talk about anything else. As a professional killer, the other party is basically extremely skilled and powerful. Coupled with his extremely vicious nature, facing this kind of dangerous person, Cheng Ying was okay, after all, her strength was supposedly superior to Xu Zhen's, so she and Xu Zhen didn't have much to worry about, but... why did Zhao Ping, who had no skills at all, do the same thing? This is hard to understand.
As the saying goes, people are different and have different attitudes towards problems. Just as Yao Fujiang stared at Cheng Zhaoer with a puzzled expression, Chen Xiaoyao, who was munching chicken legs beside him, smiled and raised his greasy hands. He patted the other party's shoulder, then winked at him and said: "Hey, brother Fu Jiang, I think you are just worrying about it for free. Our Miss Ying has no problem. Even if Senior Zhao dares to do this, There must be a personal plan, so you should worry less and just eat your food with peace of mind, don’t you think that’s right, Brother Gao?”
After saying the next sentence, he did not forget to wipe his hands on his clothes. Before Yao Fujiang could get angry, Taoist Chen quickly changed the subject, and his smiling face turned to the left and looked towards Fatty, when he saw Taoist Chen smiling at him, how could he dare to offend Gao Jikun, who knew that he would be teaming up with him soon? He smiled and nodded in agreement. While agreeing, his small eyes, which were not too big, also glanced secretly from time to time, observing everyone at the table.
As mentioned above, some were calm and some were worried, some were happy and some were worried. Looking at the slightly relaxed atmosphere due to Taoist Chen's deliberate intention, Qian Xueling could not relax no matter what, and she didn't even eat much. The beautiful woman spends most of the time with her head bowed in thought. During this period, she looks at the man with glasses from the corner of her eyes from time to time. Her face occasionally shows worry. Yes, similar to Yao Fujiang, she also never dreamed that He Fei would put Zhao Ping and that Tang. Zhiyuan was divided into a group, and Tang Zhiyuan was known as a vicious and dangerous killer. No matter how he thought about staying with such a person, she would be uneasy. Originally, she wanted to ask He Fei why he had such an arrangement at night, until Yao Fujiang asked him first. , until He Fei answered, she finally understood that this was Zhao Ping's personal meaning!
At this moment, Qian Xueling's thoughts were almost the same as Yao Fujiang's, that is... Could it be that the man with glasses is crazy?
………
At the same time, regardless of the thoughts of the executives who were in the restaurant, there was a scene on a certain floor of the hotel.
In the toilet, there were currently two people talking in a low voice facing each other.
"You'd better give me an explanation. Why did you stop me just now? That boy named He made it clear that he wanted to deal with me. Otherwise, how could he have put me in a group with that little girl? Although I am very confident in my own strength, But, facing Cheng Ying... I really don't have much confidence. If I really fight with that little bitch, unless I have a gun, I really don't have the confidence to kill her with just a knife. Maybe, If not, we might get beaten back... Instead of that, it would be better to fall out on the spot. At least the two of you and I should work together to deal with them, which would give us a good chance of winning."
"Brother Xu, you are worrying too much. I guess that boy named He did not target you intentionally as you think, let alone arranged for you to be paired with that little girl. Think about it, if he really planned to deal with you and me, Then why did he put me in a group with the man with glasses who could tell at a glance that he had no fighting ability? With my personal strength, I could kill that Zhao Ping in an instant if I wanted to. After observing for the past two days, I found that The person named Zhao seems to have a high status in the team. Although I can't figure out what Zhao is thinking at the moment, I can at least tell that this person doesn't know how to box or kick. I don't believe that He Fei is willing to give me his right-hand man. This makes me want to kill. If they fall out, Zhao Ping will be the first to die. So according to my personal guess, the reason why He Fei made such an arrangement may be due to the logic of an old man bringing up a newcomer. After all, in the eyes of senior people, the two of us are indeed For newcomers who don’t know much about supernatural missions, if we are directly paired up, let alone our life and death, if the protection fails and the protected person dies, then the 5-point survival value reward that the whole team can get will be here. Losing, for the sake of profit, I think the boy named He is unlikely to do this."
Under the light, Xu Zhen frowned, Tang Zhiyuan was calm and calm, and the above conversation also came from the two of them. Yes, when he learned that he was actually going to fight with Cheng Ying, who was more skilled than him, During the group, Xu Zhen resolutely shook his head and suddenly felt uneasy. The short-haired man was very nervous. At that time, he even thought that He Fei was going to deal with him. Unwilling to do so, he planned to fall out on the spot, but was unexpectedly stopped by Tang Zhiyuan, until the two took advantage of it. After watching others go downstairs to eat, the two gathered together to discuss the matter secretly.
Xu Zhen's intention was obvious and he wanted to ask for a clear answer. Unexpectedly, Tang Zhiyuan had a unique personal opinion and had completely opposite ideas. For the reasons mentioned above, after Tang Zhiyuan revealed that very reasonable explanation, Xu Zhen fell into hesitation for a while. , fell into hesitation, yes, he had been listening carefully when Tang Zhiyuan analyzed it just now. After careful consideration, it seemed that it was really the truth. For the sake of profit, the boy named He probably couldn't arrange to deliberately target him like this. After all, for the executor, survival is Value is second only to life. Could it be that as Tang Zhiyuan said, the other party was just trying to complete the task?
As for the man in the suit...
Sensing the hesitation on the other side, Tang Zhiyuan paused for a moment and gave the other side time to think. He did not deny that the man in the suit was always indifferent to the lives of others, but he only cared about his own life. But then again, even so, for convenience, He must also find enough reasons to prove the truth and even the benefits.
What are the benefits?
After a pause, he smiled as if he had thought of something good, put on a very obvious grin, and then lowered his voice and whispered to Xu Zhen: "Brother Xu, if you think about it carefully, this is actually an excellent opportunity!"
"Huh? Opportunity? How can I talk about this?"
Seeing the man in the suit's increasingly sinister smile, combined with the cold words, Xu Zhen couldn't help but curiously asked. Sure enough, after noticing that the other party's reaction was completely expected, Tang Zhiyuan didn't care, turned his head and glanced around until he was sure that there was no one around. , then turned back to stare at Xu Zhen and continued: "Don't you understand yet? What's the reason why you and I haven't taken action yet? The answer undoubtedly comes from the fear of Cheng Ying, but if you can take advantage of it this time Kill it...hehe, once that little bitch dies, won't the others become fat meat on the chopping board for you and me to control? And..."
"Since they are operating separately, and this is a mission world, after killing her, you can logically blame Cheng Ying's death on Qi, saying that Qi did it. In this way, even if you kill her, it will not matter. Arouse the suspicion of others, and when the mission is completed and we return to the train, we can fall out with those people without any scruples, hehehehe."
After listening to Tang Zhiyuan's analysis and narration full of murderous intent, he was slightly stunned. The next moment, Xu Zhen felt a sudden enlightenment. Of course, everything became clear, and everything became clear. After careful consideration, he shook his head again and said: "But I don't have a gun with me. Even if it's a sneak attack with just a knife, I can't guarantee that I can definitely kill Cheng Ying. You have to know that in addition to having good skills in our profession, our personal vigilance is also far beyond ordinary people. With that With how vigilant the little girls are, I’m really not sure that I can successfully attack with just a knife.”
"Aren't you sure? Then your success rate may be significantly improved in this way, right?"
Accidents occurred suddenly, changes occurred suddenly, and just when Xu Zhen was hesitating and frustrated, Tang Zhiyuan took out his silenced pistol from his arms at the next moment and stuffed it into the opponent's hand with a bang.
Facing the change, Xu Zhen couldn't help but be stunned, but...
When he lowered his head instinctively and saw the gun in his hand clearly, the expression of the short-haired man changed rapidly. The face that was full of hesitation earlier gradually turned into a sinister smile. As the smile returned, his self-confidence also enveloped his whole body at this moment.
"Brother Tang, what are you..."
"That man with glasses named Zhao is not a threat to me at all, and it won't be of much use to me. After all, I came up with the idea, so naturally I won't let you take risks alone. I think with this thing , you shouldn’t have to worry too much, right?”
"Hehe, that's natural. With this thing, the little girl is basically dead. No matter how good her skills are, she can't react quickly, but she can't be faster than a bullet. Well, since Brother Tang, you can even leave the life-saving device to me. , this alone is enough to prove your sincerity, and I will naturally not let go of this excellent opportunity. As you just said, after killing it, you can destroy the body and eliminate all traces of it, and push it all to Hajime. , in that case, why not do it?"
Some people may be a little surprised after seeing this, why did Xu Zhen become confident instantly after getting the gun? The reason is very simple. First of all, you must understand that for professional killers, there is a big difference between having a gun and not having a gun. In addition, another key point depends on who the opponent is. For example, if an ordinary person takes a With a pistol, even if the gun holder is a police officer with certain training, he will often end up dead when facing a professional killer. Even if he has a gun, it will not be of much use. The professional killer can completely use the terrain and agility to kill him. , however, once the gun holder is replaced by a companion, the outcome will inevitably change. The party without a gun is bound to be at a great disadvantage. Various reasons depend on the strength gap between the two parties not being too large. The role of firearms is only to increase strength. .
To put it simply, it can be understood that only when the difference in strength between the two sides is not large, the gun owner can have the advantage. If the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, even if you have a gun, it will basically not change anything.
Xu Zhen is not weak, nor can he be weak. In other words, no one who can make it to the international killer list is weak. On the contrary, he is very strong, and his skills are ruthless and fierce. Although he is a bit weak in unarmed fighting, Cheng Ying, however, as he gains Guns, the short-haired man regained his confidence. As he just said, no matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than bullets. With a gun in hand, combined with his already good skills, the probability of a successful sneak attack is self-evident.
"How's it going? How's Brother Xu thinking about it?"
"Don't think about it, just act according to the plan. I know what to do. During the mission, I will find the right opportunity to kill that little bitch."
"Well, okay, in that case, let's do this first. We have wasted a lot of time here. If we don't go down, the group will probably think too much. You go downstairs to eat first, and I will go down after I relieve myself."
Watching Xu Zhen stride away, Tang Zhiyuan made no move.
Instead of rushing to the toilet to relieve himself as he had said earlier, he quietly turned around after confirming that he was the only one left in the toilet and walked to the sink mirror.
Staring at himself in the mirror, staring at his tired-looking face with the help of the mirror, the next moment, the suit moved, slowly bent over, and opened the trousers. At this moment, if the field of vision shifted and moved down to Tang Zhiyuan's calf, then You will find something tied to his calf.
A black pistol.
It turned out that Tang Zhiyuan was carrying two pistols!
Act cautiously and always have a backup plan.
Yes, this is the brilliance of Tang Zhiyuan. As mentioned before, although the man in the suit is a professional killer, he is also an extremely cautious person who is unwilling to take risks. Sometimes he can even be cautious to the point of timidity, unlike other people. The killer is different. No matter what he does, Tang Zhiyuan always leaves himself with a backup plan. He even carries two guns with him, one in the open and one in the dark. The purpose is to prevent accidents from happening, unless he is against individuals. He was not confident in his skills but was taking precautions before they happened. As for instigating Xu Zhen to kill Cheng Ying just now... Although he had already explained most of the reasons to Xu Zhen, there was still a hidden reason that he had not mentioned, and that was... …
He didn't want to take risks or put himself in danger.
What a perfect plan to let Xu Zhen kill Cheng Ying while he reaps the benefits. He only needs to pay a pistol to let others take the risk for him. This deal is very cost-effective. Not only is it cost-effective, but also for him. Personally, the security is also extremely high.
If Xu Zhen kills Cheng Ying, then there is no need to say anything. If the plan succeeds, the outcome will naturally be as he said earlier that he and Xu Zhen will control the team together. To take a step back, even if the plan fails, even if Xu Zhen does not succeed Instead, he was killed by Cheng Ying, which caused the others to settle the score with him. Then he would still be fine. Then he would just have to blame Xu Zhen alone. After all, a dead person would never open his mouth to defend himself, so he could say what he wanted. Just say whatever you want.
what does that mean?
This means that no matter what the outcome, Tang Zhiyuan will not take any risks from beginning to end!
In the toilet.
After taking off the pistol and wiping it for a moment, the man in the suit tied it to his calf again. Then, he smiled and showed a sinister smile towards the mirror.
Next, the man left the toilet and walked into the corridor, heading straight downstairs.
