The No. 1 Tower Area of Jialuo City State covers an area of hundreds of square kilometers and is located near the Lianyun Mountains. There are hills, valleys, lakes and dense forests, so naturally it will not be a flat plain.
Over the past three thousand years, countless buildings have been built one after another, and the population has increased significantly. As one of the most important places in the Garo City-state, the No. 1 Tower District has naturally become even more prosperous and prosperous.
Driven by the science of magic creation, the grain output per acre has also been greatly improved, so many scattered small plots of farmland have gradually been covered by houses and buildings. Many blocks are brightly lit day and night, and the atmosphere of fireworks is extremely strong. !
However, human beings have always lived in groups, and the atmosphere of fireworks is never completely uniform, and this is naturally the case in Tower 1 area.
In a small area on the edge of the tower area, there are several rows of old and low-rise bungalows scattered here, barely squeezing out a few crooked streets. Whenever there is abundant rain in summer, there are always a few dilapidated houses that collapse miserably, leaving nothing behind. The old rural streets without drainage function are even more muddy!
Except for a few homeless people with nowhere to go, there are no serious residents here anymore. Some relatively sturdy houses may still be the ancestral homes of some people, but they are now vacant or have become places where old things are stored.
In Tower 1 District, people are accustomed to calling this area "Old Alley".
The area near the old lane was originally very deserted, with no fields for farming. If a small mineral vein had not been discovered hundreds of years ago, these houses would not have been built here at all.
The entrance to the mine is not far from the end of the old alley, but it has been abandoned long ago, and the old alley has lost its beauty. The dense underground tunnels have been in disrepair for a long time, and the dull sound of landslides is often heard. However, the homeless people and the people in the nearby area The residents have long been accustomed to it. No one will bother to explore this matter, and no one wants to get close to it.
However, in this deep dark night, an uninvited guest appeared at the door of the mine!
This person did not go through the old alley, but followed an abandoned slope overgrown with weeds and went far around. Apart from being alert to whether there was any tracking, he did not stop much along the way. It seemed that he was very familiar with the terrain here. familiar!
This person is not very strong, but his strides are not small when walking. He should be a man.
He hid himself on the stone wall beside the mine, slightly dodged half of his body, stretched out his hand and knocked twice on the stone wall, and then retracted.
Soon the same sound came from inside the mine, and another figure walked out lightly and stood quietly in the center of the cave entrance.
This figure wore a large cloak and a leather mask covering the entire head and face, with only a pair of cold eyes exposed.
"Mr. Anonymous, you can come out now!"
The voice sounded a little dry and hoarse, as if the throat had suffered some trauma, but there was no doubt that it was a woman!
The man from before stepped out, with the brim of his hat also lowered and his head and face hidden. He did not look at the woman, but just asked in a low voice:
"Who are you? How do you know me?!"
The woman seemed to smile and replied in a low voice:
"I live here."
"Well..." The man from before seemed to relax a little, but suddenly rushed forward, holding a sharp dagger in his hand and pressing it against the woman's throat!
But the woman just stood quietly without any intention of resisting!
The man seemed to frown, and his other hand roughly groped the woman's body, even the high places and deep valleys!
"Ordinary people? How can there be ordinary people in the black market?! Say! Who are you?!"
The man's actions were extremely rude, but the woman still didn't care. She just sneered and said:
"What's wrong with ordinary people? Can't ordinary people join the black market? There are many things that strong people can't do, but ordinary people can! Mr. Anonymous, you should know this best!"
The dagger came close again, forcing the woman to raise her head, and the man said coldly:
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you! Tell me! What does the black market want from me?"
The woman seemed to like to laugh, but her entire face was hidden under the mask, and her true appearance could not be seen. She could only be heard saying leisurely:
"Of course it's your last mission..."
When the man heard these words, his whole body suddenly changed. He was as cold as if he had been completely assimilated by the darkness. He grabbed the woman's throat, lifted her off the ground, and rushed into the cave with a few strides. A muffled sound of "bang" was heard, followed closely by the woman's uncontrollable coughing and gasping!
The man's voice sounded faintly, sinister and cold, almost inhuman!
"I've already done that! Even... that place promised that it will never have anything to do with me from now on! Your black market is just an intermediary, why should you bother me?!"
The woman who had been hit hard against the stone wall before finally regained her breath and managed to speak:
"It's been done, but it's not done! The mission target is still alive and well, how could you just stop here?!"
"Are you threatening me?!"
"Ha!" The woman laughed and continued:
"I am just an ordinary person now, how dare I threaten Mr. Nameless, who is number one on the black market! I just want to remind you - in the black market secret volume, the task you took has never been written off!"
"Hmph! The target has been ruined and his family has been destroyed! All memories have been lost! What else is there to say?!"
"But he's not dead!!!"
"Bullshit! Several altars take turns guarding him, of course he can't die!"
The woman stood up leaning against the stone wall, her back straight, but she laughed softly a few times and said:
"Why is Mr. Anonymous so cautious now? Three years ago, wasn't the target also under the protection of a powerful man in the altar? Didn't you still take action! Do such earth-shattering things! Could it be that... after you have a family business? , have you become less courageous?"
The man's tone was even more sinister, as if what was standing in the cave was a vicious creature that was eager to devour humans. It was about to tear off its disguise and reveal its extremely terrifying true form!
"What do you want to say?!"
The woman ignored it and continued:
"The black market secret volume contains your general appearance, as well as the appearance information of millions of people in this tower area. The science of magic creation is still very useful in this kind of thing. As long as you are patient enough, it is not difficult to find you... …”
The man raised the dagger in his hand and listened quietly.
"After the incident was completed three years ago, you did not fly away. Instead, you settled here with your family. When I found you, you naturally found your family! Do you really think you can get away and live a happy life from now on?! "
The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and the dagger grazed the leather mask, and with a few traces of blood, it was nailed to the stone wall beside the woman, until it reached the hilt!
The woman seemed completely unaware, and the bottom of her mask was rising again, outlining a strange smile!
"It's useless for you to kill me. I'm not the only one in the black market! Of course I'm not the only one who can find you!"
The man was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice:
“What does the black market want to do?”
"It's very simple!" The woman's voice suddenly became louder, and the deep cave echoed!
“Finish that mission!
"Kill him!"
The man said coldly:
"Then what? Then you want me to bury him with him?"
"Haha, that depends on your ability! You know, the black market only issues and receives tasks, nothing else!"
"What if I say no?"
"Mr. Anonymous, I have found you, what do you think? Of course, you can also fly far away, but will your family live in seclusion in the mountains and forests for the rest of their lives, eating and sleeping in the open?"
"Damn it! Your black market is really full of filth! From top to bottom, it's full of evil villains! Dirty scum!"
When the woman heard this, her smile under the mask suddenly solidified, and she replied in a dark voice:
"You are number one on the blacklist! A villain with bloody hands!
"It's just each other!"
