Beauty Man: Infinite Possession

Chapter 29 The Assassin Brotherhood

"The Brotherhood of Assassins?"

Jessica looked confused.

Of course, she couldn't have heard of this name, because before Li Ran spoke, there was no so-called Brotherhood of Assassins at all.

That's right, the Brotherhood of Assassins that Li Ran talked about is actually the same as the previous Penglai.

And the time when this Assassin Brotherhood was established, um, just now.

As for why you don’t continue to use the name of Penglai, it’s mainly because [Wesley]’s [Arc Ballistic] and [Adrenal Acceleration] don’t match the legend of Penglai, which is an obvious oriental faction. Together, it is easy for people to see some clues.

Therefore, Li Ran thought that it would be better to create a new organization instead of linking [Wesley] and Penglai together. As the saying goes, if there is one, there will be two, if there is two, there will be three, if there is three, there will be, um... Okay, that's a bit of a stretch.

In short, Jessica was at a loss when she heard the "Assassin Brotherhood" in Li Ran's mouth.

This was a normal reaction, and Li Ran was not surprised. It was time for him to show his real acting skills.

In the antique shop, Li Ran deliberately moved his face down about fifteen degrees, shrouded in shadows, and lowered his voice to make his voice low and mysterious: "The Brotherhood of Assassins is a very The ancient organization, which can even be traced back to the Roman period, is an organized group of assassins, although it has encountered countless crises of extinction, it has always been able to be reborn from the flames."

"Then why, I have never heard anything about this organization?" Jessica raised her slender eyebrows. She is not a fool. In fact, as a private detective, even if she doesn't do well in Hell's Kitchen, she She still has the sensitivity and suspicion that she should have, which can also be seen from the popularity she brought to Li Ran.

"That's because the Assassin Brotherhood's Creed binds them."

"creed?"

"The three principles of the Assassin Brotherhood, first: do not kill innocent people indiscriminately; second: hide your whereabouts in full view and become a member of the crowd; third: never endanger the brotherhood. These principles run through the daily life of the members of the Assassin Brotherhood. In all aspects, it is also like their struggle to achieve "harmony among all things". The Brotherhood fulfills their duties through political and strategic assassinations, hoping to save thousands of people by killing one person. They believe that this is in the Fight for the interests of those who do not have the capacity, resources, or knowledge to speak out against those who abuse power."

"It sounds like a superhero organization." Jessica curled her lips, and now she is not interested in superheroes.

"What about you, are you also a member of this so-called Brotherhood of Assassins?"

Although the mysterious assassin brother will surprise Jessica, she has not forgotten her original question.

"Me." Facing Jessica's rhetorical question, Li Ran shook his head, then lowered his head and showed an obviously bitter smile: "I am very eager to join the brotherhood, but unfortunately, the internal rules of the brotherhood are very strict, and I His ability is not enough to become an assassin of the Brotherhood, so he is currently only the person in charge of the contact point of the Brotherhood of Assassins here, helping the Brotherhood collect information and contact members.”

"Having said so much, how do you prove that the so-called Brotherhood of Assassins you speak of is real? Perhaps, everything is just a lie you casually uttered to deceive me into trusting you."

Jessica supported the counter, leaned forward slightly, and looked straight into Li Ran's eyes.

Kilgray's appearance made Jessica full of doubts about everything in front of her. After all, the other party was a demon who could manipulate people's mind and body.

Facing Jessica's aggressive questioning, Li Ran didn't answer with words, but directly raised his pistol, pointed it at her face, and pulled the trigger.

Everything in front of her was so sudden that even Jessica, who possessed extraordinary abilities, couldn't dodge the incoming bullets in an instant.

He could only watch helplessly as the unboring bullets flew towards him.

In his mind, the thought that Li Ran was indeed controlled by the purple man flashed across his mind.

The expected death did not come, and the bullet that was coming directly to Jessica changed its direction the next second it was about to hit Jessica, passing through her hair and hitting the ceramic on Jessica's back.

Accompanied by the broken ceramics.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ran's voice slowly came from Jessica's ear: "[Arc Ballistic], one of the magical spear skills mastered by members of the Brotherhood, unfortunately, I am not capable enough, so I can only let you The bullets take a slight turn, and you can't steer the bullet the way a fraternity guy does."

boom--

Li Ran lowered his head, looked at the counter that had been smashed in half, and then at Jessica who was waving her fist: "I just wanted to demonstrate, after all, you said you didn't believe me."

"Me too." Retracting her fist, Jessica stabilized her still beating heart, and for a moment she almost thought she was about to say goodbye.

After calming down, Jessica raised her head and looked at Li Ran again.

However, at this moment, when Jessica looked at him again, something was obviously different.

……

Manhattan, Kingpin Building.

The broken glass on the top floor has long since been repaired.

Jin Bin stood on the edge of the window, leaning on his crutches, overlooking everything under the building.

"Recently, my business in Manhattan has suffered a serious loss. It's not good." Jin turned around and looked at the shivering man kneeling behind him: "It's not good, Tony, when I handed over the matter to you It wasn't like this when it was given to you."

"There is a reason for all of this, Jin Bin. Recently, a lunatic appeared on the site and kept attacking our business. Many of our brothers have died under his gun." Faced with Jin Bin's questioning, the man couldn't help but Justify it loudly.

"I don't want to hear the reason." Jin picked up the man with one hand, ignored the man's struggling movements, and said coldly: "For me, all the reasons are just excuses to cover up my incompetence. I need Yes, it's just the result, a result that can satisfy me, do you understand?"

"……Yes, I understand……"

Hanging on Jin Bing's hand, the man gave a difficult answer.

Casually, throwing the purple-faced man in his hand back to the ground, Jin took out a handkerchief and wiped his palm: "Then, I will give you another chance, but Tony, you have to remember, this is the last time , if it still doesn’t satisfy me, maybe we won’t meet here next time.”

On the ground, the man gasped for air while supporting his own neck, nodding his head with a difficult expression.
