Brightly lit lobby.
The people gathered together did not speak, but stood there quietly.
A chilling atmosphere filled the lobby.
"Is everyone here?"
After seeing everyone arrive, Najexitan simply threw a portrait on the table without any preamble.
"Laika, the traitor of the Imperial Fist Temple. According to intelligence from relevant personnel, he was responsible for the recent 33 cases of missing children between the ages of 13 and 4."
"In other words, he is the next target?"
"It's him who has done his best to eliminate evil!"
"Understood!"xN
After Najiexitan assigned the task, she looked at Xiao Lin and said, "You will come with me this time."
"Um?"
Xiao Lin was slightly surprised.
Najexitan smiled maliciously: "It's time to show you the darkness of the empire."
People can't understand it just by talking about it. Sometimes, you can only know the meaning of what they do by seeing it with your own eyes, just like Tazmi who just joined.
"Aren't you worried about me escaping midway when you leave the base?"
"It doesn't matter. As long as you finish participating in this mission, it's up to you whether you want to leave or not, okay?"
"I agreed."
Seeing Xiaolin's agreement, Najiexitan nodded.
…
"That being said, why are all the members of the Night Raid here?"
Xiao Lin watched as the Night Attack crowd surrounded him. They seemed to be protecting him, but in fact they were more of a siege to prevent him from escaping.
Why aren't you worried about me running away?
Brand showed a hearty smile: "Don't say that, it's a ritual to do the task together, isn't it? Let's clean up the garbage happily together."
I believe you, you damn brother is very evil.
Xiao Lin was slandering in his heart, but he said yes, yes, with a happy and expectant look.
Speaking of which, this was his first time away from Night Raid, so he was really looking forward to it.
Everyone is very fast.
As a killer, mobility is a top priority.
But Chitong kept looking sideways while running. She really couldn't figure out why Xiaolin acted like a novice despite his superb skills, but the actions that formed a strong contrast perfectly achieved the same effect.
If Xiao Lin knew what she was thinking, he could only answer her——
Don't ask, ask is magic, magic is the best in the world!
…
"arrive."
According to the intelligence, Laika was hiding near the slums of the Imperial Capital, and this warehouse was his stronghold.
Everyone fell around and surrounded the warehouse.
With so many Teigu users coming to send him off, the traitor from the Imperial Fist Temple must have been moved to tears, right?
Leonai's eyes were dull, he grinned evilly, and said, "Xiao Lin, please don't be so frightened by the scene inside that you wet your pants."
"How can it be."
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes at her.
Even though he said this, he still became serious.
Every time she does a mission, Leonai will first visit the location to check for information. She must know what is in the warehouse, and it is definitely not unreasonable to say so.
Squeak————
The rusty barn door was slowly pushed open, and the harsh sound made people frown slightly.
A special scent came out, it seemed to be some kind of spice.
it's wired.
From what he thought, it should be the pungent smell of rot and blood. How could it be a fragrance?
The dim barn door was opened, and the bright moonlight shone into the dim space, revealing the tip of the dark iceberg of this world.
I saw spheres being passed through by ropes, tied to the roof of the warehouse, and hanging back and forth in mid-air.
——It’s the head.
They are all the heads of 10-year-old children.
They were hung in mid-air, with different expressions on their faces, and they were quite well preserved.
There is crying, pain, anger, fear, fear, and resentment, but without exception, their expressions are negative, and they all have no parts below the neck.
The cool breeze blew by, whistling and making a sound, as if crying out his tragic experience.
A chilling scene.
"welcome!"
The frivolous and crazy voice came from the innermost place, where a black figure was sitting on a chair.
Through the moonlight, Xiao Lin could see his face clearly.
He is a middle-aged man about 30 years old, with an ordinary appearance and a tattoo on his cheek.
Exactly the same as the mission goal.
"Laika, your death has come!"
Ma Yin's hands holding the [Romantic Turret Pumpkin] were shaking violently. She never thought that the villain in front of her would be so cruel.
"Someone always says that, but in the end they all die, not even their heads are left."
Laika said extremely crazy things, but after seeing Ma Yin, she whistled: "But you are different, I will make you my next collection."
"What did you say?!" Ma Yin was very angry.
Doesn't this treat her as a child?
She is already 15 years old this year, she is an adult, and she is also a killer!
"Don't be so angry. It's such a pity for your cute little face."
Laika looked pityful.
Then, he asked another strange question.
"You said, at what age can a person best show his talent?" Before anyone could answer, he asked and answered to himself: "Yes, it is between 13 and 15 years old. This is the age when talent bursts out most quickly. age, that’s why I want to keep them.”
After speaking, he held up a collectible obsessively.
It was the head of a little girl. On her pretty, uncorrupted face was an expression of fear that was about to cry but mixed with a hint of happiness. There was also a light cut on her forehead.
Just like before.
Liu Zi took a step forward and said softly: "Master Xiao Lin..."
"Ah, I saw it."
Xiao Lin couldn't help clenching his fists and said to Laika: "Hey, do you know? The little girl you are holding actually has a mother who is seriously ill in bed and a weak brother. She is here to take care of her. A timid girl whose family would rather break her head and keep asking for forgiveness."
"Oh? You know her? She's one of my favorite collections."
Laika was slightly startled.
But he immediately picked her up and showed off:
"You know, she was so scared at that time that she knelt down and kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy.
That look of desperately begging for mercy for my mother and brother was so sacred. It shocked me and I felt like I had met the right girl.
Then I said to her 'It doesn't matter, I won't kill you'
But when she was about to leave, there was a moment of joy on her face...!
I'm taking action!
Finally, I had the perfect collection! "
crazy.
He has gone completely crazy.
He is no longer a human, but a demon in human skin!
Everyone in Night Raid gritted their teeth and looked at him, wishing they could get rid of him now.
At this time Xiao Lin stood up.
"Sorry, I know this is not allowed, but can you leave him to me?"
He looked at Laika and whispered: "I am a little bit angry."
"It doesn't matter, as long as the task can be completed, anyone can take action."
Chitong, who has always abided by the killer's code, did not refuse, because before leaving, Najiexitan said that if Xiaolin took the initiative, she would give him the chance to complete the task.
Now she is just doing it.
"No one will take action."
"Thanks."
Xiao Lin thanked her softly, and then walked to Laika alone.
"Oh ho? Are you looking down on me?"
Laika's contemptuous eyes were not hidden, and she seemed to be very confident in her own strength.
"Ha, I advise you to be careful, don't get killed all at once." Leonai's sarcastic words were not to be outdone.
"To be killed all at once? Are you kidding me? I'm an expert at the Imperial Fist Temple!"
Laika seemed to have heard some joke. She grinned as if to show her strength. Under the cover of the shadow, the wind blew under her feet and she punched Xiao Lin.
His wrist was gently held again.
"Kill you all at once? That would be such a waste."
Xiao Lin also grinned, revealing his white teeth, with a cold look in his eyes.
"What?!"
Laika couldn't help but widen her eyes.
