There's something wrong with this assassin

Chapter 175 The growth of a girl (third update)

Candlelight flickered in the lobby of the inn, and the ice cubes left in the bowl were slowly melting.

In fact, after thinking about it carefully, Xue Ling already understood how talented she was compared to the two high-ranking players He Ping and Fang Bie.

As for the origin of my identity, it is currently limited to the tacit agreement they have reached so far, that is, they don't bother to get to the bottom of it, and don't pursue it.

As long as I pretend not to know, then no one will know.

He Ping looked at Xue Ling and nodded noncommittally: "Go on."

Xue Ling nodded: "In short, after I arrived, your work as a bee guide began to officially start. Now that I think about it, although you didn't help us complete the task, you did intervene in the selection of the task to a certain extent, right? "

"After all." Xue Ling looked into He Ping's eyes: "Actually, thinking about it carefully, most of the tasks performed so far are normal and a bit excessive."

The girl said so.

He Ping tilted her head, smiled but did not answer.

And Xue Ling counted to He Ping with her fingers: "The first task is to assassinate Ning Huaiyuan, a traitor to the sect."

"The second task is to follow the monk Kong Wu, without killing anyone..."

When Xue Ling said this, Shang Jiuge, who had been silently drinking sour plum soup, raised his head: "Ning Huaiyuan?"

Only then did Xue Ling realize—yes, she had never realized it before.

Ning Huaiyuan is Shang Jiuge's nephew.

"Yes." Fang Bie nodded aside.

"I killed it."

Shang Jiuge nodded, lowered his head and took a sip of sour plum soup, raised his head and opened his black and white eyes, looking at Fang Bie: "So, you are Gou Zazhong?"

"You all really remember this name." Fang Bie shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm still Huashan Linghu Chong."

"There is no such person in Huashan." Shang Jiuge said seriously.

"He's Senior Brother Huashan, okay?" Fang Bie smiled and said, "Also, there will be one from today on."

Shang Jiuge nodded with a vague understanding.

"Well, anyway." Shang Jiuge looked at Fang Bie: "If you didn't kill him, the main purpose of my going down the mountain this time is to kill him."

The girl said quietly.

"No surprise." Fang Bie said with a smile.

This is what Shang Jiuge would do.

Although, Fang Bie doubted that Shang Jiuge could not find Ning Huaiyuan.

"So thank you." Shang Jiuge said seriously: "It's just that I didn't expect that Gou Zazhong would be you."

Fang Bie shook his head with a smile: "There are many things you didn't think of."

"Anyway." Fang Bie looked at Xue Ling: "Don't stop, keep talking."

Xue Ling nodded, then scratched her head: "Where did I come from just now?"

"Follow the monk Kong Wu." Fang Bie quietly reminded her.

Xue Ling nodded: "Yes, following the eminent monk Kong Wu."

"Then there is the pursuit of the Seventeen Thieves of the Yellow River. Even the current mission goal is to confirm the identity of Gou Zazhong and assassinate Ningxia."

Xue Ling looked at He Ping: "So, our missions should have been screened. Sister Ping deliberately screened out some missions, right?"

As for which tasks were screened out?

In fact, assassin is an ancient profession that can kill everyone for money.

As someone said, the oldest profession in the world, one is a killer and the other is a prostitute.

Of course, the hive is a powerful and regular assassin organization, and it is born with mission thresholds.

After all, the prerequisite for accepting a task is that someone sends it.

The current assassination targets are basically within the scope of death without guilt.

Even if the target is Ningxia, Ningxia, as the remnant of the Demon Sect of the Western Regions, is itself a natural representative of the inconsistency between good and evil.

Say something you might not believe.

The so-called martial arts are not incompatible with good and evil.

But the hive is not evil.

In this world that is not black and white, the hive is the biggest shade of gray.

He Ping smiled but did not answer.

"When did the task of assassinating Shang Jiuge come down?" Xue Ling continued to ask He Ping.

After these few months of experience, the girl is no longer a silly white sweet with black eyes.

Although He Ping is still telling herself that there are many things about the upper layer of the hive that she should know before she should.

But Xue Ling has already clearly understood that if she doesn't grow up quickly, and there is no way to learn to protect herself, then one day, there will be a time when neither Fang Bie nor He Ping can protect herself.

"About this question." He Ping smiled, seemed to think for a moment, and then said: "Three days before Shang Jiuge's arrival."

"It's also four days after the Jianghu list was updated."

Shang Jiuge nodded thoughtfully: "So my movements have always been under your surveillance?"

"That's not the case." He Ping looked at Shang Jiuge and said, "The honeycomb is very powerful, but even the most powerful honeycomb is composed of countless tiny bees."

"Bees can only shuttle among the flowers. If they leave the flowers, they will starve to death." He Ping said quietly: "You have been walking among mountains, forests and lakes, and you rarely approach human towns, so the hive is very important for you. There is only a vague range of estimates for the trend.”

"Of course, Los Angeles is within this range."

Shang Jiuge tilted his head and smiled: "It's really interesting."

"So, if I join the hive, will it cause trouble to you?"

Fang Bie looked at Shang Jiuge: "If you don't join the hive, we will be very troubled."

"Is that so?" Shang Jiuge asked, "I didn't expect that."

"Do you understand why?" Fang Bie didn't answer directly, but looked at Xue Ling.

Xue Ling understood that this was a sign of Fang Bie's gradual trust and affirmation in her. The girl silently grabbed the animal tooth pendant on her chest, and said, "Because if Shang Jiuge doesn't join the hive, it will be difficult for us to make further explanations about the hive. .”

Xue Ling used the word us almost without hesitation.

She regards herself and Fang Bie He Ping as a whole, rather than separate existences.

"Continue." Fang Bie asked with a smile.

"Ah."

"Because the task of assassinating Shang Jiuge was dismissed by Sister Ping, it caused strong dissatisfaction among the high-level officials of the hive. That's why three pairs of silver bees and a pair of golden bees broke into Los Angeles without notifying Sister Ping. Execute the assassination mission in advance."

"Is that so?" Xue Ling looked at Fang Bie.

Fang Bie nodded.

The girl's confidence was greatly boosted.

In fact, in many cases, what bee wings need to have is not only the ability to collect information, but also the ability to summarize and deduce information, which is to deduce the whole picture of things from fragments.

In the past, this kind of work was done by Fang Bie, and Xue Ling just sat back and enjoyed it.

But now, when Xue Ling starts to try to deduce these things by herself, it proves her growth.

"Then now, Sister Ping is in a dilemma." Xue Ling slowly became confident.

"If Sister Ping allows them to kill Shang Jiuge, then for Sister Ping's previous veto mission to assassinate Shang Jiuge, the hive will slap Sister Ping hard in the face."

"But if Sister Ping really kills the three pairs of silver bees and one pair of gold bees in Los Angeles, then."

Xue Ling looked at He Ping and Fang farewell.

Word by word.

"Sister Ping openly raised the flag of rebellion against the hive in Los Angeles."

PS: To say that the fifth watch is the fifth watch, and if one word is missing, it is not the fifth watch.

I do what I say.

Also, this transitional chapter is actually more difficult to write than I thought, because it is really difficult to explain the cause and effect clearly without being boring.

Of course, if you look at it all the way, such a transition is actually okay?

Because of the incident in Los Angeles, from Xue Ling's point of view, she couldn't feel the turmoil at all, but in fact, Fang Bie and He Ping made choices in the middle of the storm.
