Ultimate Assassin: Start as the sixth floor in the Continental Hotel

A messy bar with blood all over the floor. There were more than a dozen big men with their heads covered, each with a handful of ribs. They surrounded a middle-aged man who looked like the manager of the bar and was begging for mercy. Their faces couldn't be seen, and their cold eyes looked like hungry wolves. The middle-aged man knelt on the ground, his face covered with scars. He looked like he was begging for mercy, desperately begging for mercy. He even took out a large handful of banknotes, as if begging those people to let him go.

One knife, another knife.

At first, it was just a symbolic scratch on the body of the middle-aged man. The big man put his hands on his waist and raised his head, as if he was laughing. Then, the middle-aged man was caught. In his panic eyes, the big men looked at him with ridicule. The ribs in their hands left one after another deep visible scars on the middle-aged man's body. .

The pain made the middle-aged man open his mouth in pain, but he did not make any sound.

As if tired of playing, the masked man in the lead stabbed a fistful of ribs directly into the middle-aged man's abdomen. The middle-aged man was struggling, but how could an ordinary person's strength be stronger than a dozen fierce and strong men?

One knife, another knife. The knife passed through his body, and blood spurted out from the knife. The middle-aged man struggled less and less, and finally he knelt down and stopped moving without the big men holding him down.

The mouth shape before death was very slow and clear.

"help me."

Chen Yan witnessed all this, and then the body of the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground disappeared. All around was a world so dark that nothing could be seen. Chen Yan looked around, but there was no light around him.

When Chen Yan turned around, he found that there was light in this dark world, but the place where the light shone down was a corner. A hedgehog made of ribs and a human body.

Saito Hajime.

Chen Yan was silent and walked forward. Store manager Saito's body was covered with frightening knife points.

It was all blood. It was obviously a dead body, but his wounds were oozing blood, more and more, more and more! The floor was dyed red, and the sky was dyed red too! Finally, in a dark red space, Chen Yan stood on top of the blood, and Store Manager Saito lay in the blood.

"Guest...why do you want to help?"

"Probably...it's because these guys disturbed me from drinking."

"Please give me a few more days! Please!"

"No...no! Please...don't kill me!"

"Please...save me..."

The sound became louder and louder. Chen Yan covered his ears, but the sound penetrated his head, causing Chen Yan to bend over in pain.

In a pool of blood, the body of the store manager Saito died with his eyes open. Chen Yan staggered towards his body, but was forced to have a splitting headache by the increasingly louder voices in his head. Looking up again, the body of store manager Saito stood in front of Chen Yan, with blood gushing from the wound and dyeing Chen Yan's clothes red.

"Guest, please save me." The corpse spoke.

……

"what--!"

Shouting in horror, Chen Yan turned over and ejected from the hospital bed, eyes wide open. Breathing rapidly, his heart seemed to jump out of his body. When I looked up, I saw dazzling sunlight pouring in from the window of the ward.

"Chen Sang, did you...have a nightmare?"

On the side is Saito Kyoka who is sitting quietly. At this moment, she gently handed a glass of water to Chen Yan.

"Thank you." Chen Yan glanced at her gratefully, took the water glass and drank it in one gulp, and then let out a sigh of relief.

Looking around, this ward is quite spacious. There is only one bed, which seems a bit empty. Saito Kyoka quietly looked at Chen Yan who had just woken up, waited for a while, and then asked: "Chen Sang, are you hungry? There are fried noodles and bread here."

"Uh, no, thank you." Chen Yan scratched his head awkwardly, "Where are Iori and the others?"

"The doctor said that smoking in the ward will affect your recovery, so they went outside and smoked..." Saito Kyoka thought for a while and said.

Hearing this, Chen Yan moved his body a little, and it actually made a crackling sound. He stretched out, and there was no feeling of stagnation or pain in his body at all: "I guess I'm just sleepy, there's nothing wrong with it. I want to be discharged from the hospital.”

"Dah." Saito Kyouka crossed her arms and sternly rejected Chen Yan's request, "You fainted yesterday, you need to rest."

"No, um, I just..." Chen Yan waved his hands hurriedly, indicating that he was really feeling better.

But Saito Kyoka rubbed his head as if coaxing a child: "Okay, okay, Chen Sang needs to have a good rest~ This way the body can recover~"

Tired, destroy it.

At this moment, Chen Yan's eyes had lost their light.

"I just want to go out and have a smoke." He looked at the ceiling above his head blankly.

"Did you just...dream about my father?" Saito Kyoka asked hesitantly. "You have been talking in your sleep... shouting to Store Manager Saito, no, get out of here..."

"..."

Chen Yan was silent and nodded.

"Are you...blaming yourself?" She looked into Chen Yan's eyes with soft eyes, "Please don't do this...Father will not blame you. Father was killed by those people. If it weren't for you, And Mr. Kuwana and the others, I might... die in the hands of those people too."

"I am a killer, Miss Saito." An ugly smile appeared on Chen Yan's face, "I have no feelings, and there is no such thing as self-blame."

"My hands are already covered in blood."

"If I hadn't walked into that bar...if I hadn't had a self-righteous conflict with Okita Kyotarou...there wouldn't have been so many things."

"I'm just an ordinary wage earner who gets paid to do things."

Behind her, a hand patted her gently, it was Saito Kyoka.

"Chen Sang is not a ruthless person," she said. "If Chen Sang was really a ruthless person, he could have ignored my life or death, or even killed me to collect the bounty, right?"

"..." Chen Yan looked at her, "I'm not a good person, Miss Saito. I'm helping you just because your father gave me a bottle of expensive wine when I first came to Kamurocho. .”

"Well, you're right." She chuckled, but couldn't hide the sadness in her heart, "Chen Sang is not a good person, but he is not a bad person either."

"...Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain." Chen Yan said stiffly, "I want to stay alone for a while, can you go out for a while?"

"Okay." Saito Kyoka looked at Chen Yan who looked lonely, sighed, stood up and walked to the door of the ward, looking back at Chen Yan.

"Show up, thank you." Chen Yan said without raising his head.

What responded to him was the almost inaudible sound of the door closing. Chen Yan looked up, got out of bed, and found his clothes on the bedside table. He dug into his pocket and lit a cigarette for himself.

Smoke filled the air.

"Listen, the so-called killer is ruthless and unscrupulous..."

"Ruthless and ruthless, you will use any means to step on the horse!"

"I'm just unhappy." Chen Yan looked out the window and said softly.
