Ultimate Assassin System

The night fog is deep and the chill is oppressive.

This is a rather deep and quiet alley, with no street lights or pedestrians. Of course, the flow of people on the main roads of Shanxi City has been greatly reduced now, let alone here.

But at this moment, a man wearing a black robe with a hood suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley. Without any care, he stepped directly into the alley.

At this time, with this iconic look... Needless to say, this person is naturally Samp. Running hundreds of kilometers yesterday also allowed his hate-filled brain to calm down a little. Therefore, after determining that Shanxi City was the place where Eunice's accident occurred, Samp was not in a hurry to chase Tang En. Instead, he came over to investigate the situation first.

Just as Tang En didn't know about Thumper and Oliver, they also knew nothing about the person who caused Eunice's accident. But one thing can be confirmed, the opponent's strength must not be weak, otherwise the Space Pupil will not appear on him. In this case, it is even more necessary to collect intelligence first.

There are many ways to inquire about information. If you want to be faster, you have to find someone like a local snake. Based on Xamp's strength, it would be no problem to just find a gang station and teleport in, and then capture the gang leader inside for interrogation. However, the authenticity and detailed level of this news cannot be guaranteed.

For professional matters, you have to find professional people, so after a lot of effort, Samp found this place.

As the saying goes, if there is a demand, there will be a market. Sometimes intelligence is worthless, but sometimes it can make people rich overnight, so there is never a shortage of practitioners. Some retired thieves, assassins, or even bounty hunters who have not done well will choose to work in this profession.

Samp himself is a bounty hunter, so he naturally knows the secrets, so it is not difficult to find this place. After a while, after walking about a hundred meters, he stopped. Knocked on the wooden door on the left, dong, dong, dong... there was no movement inside, but Samp was also patient and knocked gently.

Finally, creaking, the wooden door opened a narrow gap, and a middle-aged man with a frown on his face, who seemed to have just woken up, appeared.

Who are you? Well, are you sure you found the right place?

I'm sure. Samp didn't introduce his thoughts. He reached out and grabbed a cloth bag from under his robe, shook it twice, ding ding ding... the crisp sound of metal collision echoed in the silent alleyway. The cheerful laughter that only costs a hundred gold coins... A message, these are all yours!

The greedy look disappeared in a flash, and the middle-aged man looked away and spread his hands in confusion, Sorry, sir. Although I like these gold coins very much, unfortunately I can't help you.

If there is an industry, there must be rules! Selling information is not just a matter of talking. In fact, it is easy to make enemies in this business. Therefore, whether it is for the safety of customers or ourselves, concealment work is the top priority. Putting aside everything else, business with strangers is definitely not allowed.

When Samp heard this, he did not put down the bag full of gold coins. Instead, he raised his left hand and stretched out his index finger, and slowly moved it towards the stone wall of the alley beside him... hiss, hiss... swish... swish... the middle-aged man's expression He froze for a moment and stared blankly at the stone wall not far away. Suddenly, a ravine about two inches wide appeared. Then the length continued to spread, and fine sand and gravel fell one after another... The gully stopped after traveling for about two meters. , Samp flipped his palm, hooked his index finger back, a stone rose out of the air, flicked his fingers, whoosh... bang! A figure fell down from the alleyway more than ten meters away on the right, and immediately, a small crossbow rolled and fell aside.

Gudong... The middle-aged man swallowed hard, his face full of shock and bitterness.

Those who sell information naturally attach great importance to their own safety. The man holding the crossbow is actually his subordinate, who is usually responsible for surveillance and firing cold arrows at critical moments... Of course, this kind of trick is very useful to bounty hunters who often walk on the edge of death. , is undoubtedly a joke.

Samp took no further action or even spoke. He just placed the money bag in front of the middle-aged man again.

Want money, or lose your life?

Please, please come in! The middle-aged man did not hesitate anymore, quickly took the money bag, walked away from the door and waved an invitation.

The room was extremely messy. It could be said that except for one table that was still standing, the rest had basically fallen down. Even on the standing table, there are all kinds of debris piled up.

Wow... Please sit down, please sit down. The middle-aged man said in a flattering manner, waving the debris off the table and straightening a chair.

Samp glanced at the pink women's underwear hanging by the chair, curled his lips slightly, and then took out two portraits from his arms: I want to know what happened in the city a few days ago, well, about them.

Taking the portrait and turning it over, a flash of shock flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes. Then he suppressed it, raised his head and looked at Samp again, and said calmly: Oh, so that's what happened. Simple, I have it. A detailed intelligence summary is here for you.”

After a moment, the middle-aged man actually took out a large pile of paper from the back of the house.

The collapse of the Shanxi Goddess Statue is such a big thing, these information sellers will naturally not miss it. And don't underestimate their professional abilities. Even the police department's post-mortem investigation may not be as detailed as the contents of this large pile of paper.

The first-generation saint of the Temple of Light... After flipping through a few pictures, Samp paused and lost his voice.

He and Oliver arrived in such a hurry, they only knew that there was a big commotion in Shanxi City, and even the statues in the city square were smashed. As for the details, I really don’t know. Now that I saw that the destroyed statue turned out to be the first-generation saint of the Temple of Light, I couldn’t help but feel speechless.

The Dusk Hunters' status in the industry is at the top level, and the strength of each member is undoubtedly strong, but even so, if they want to face the Temple of Light, it would really be a joke... That middle-aged man After hearing Samp's tone, the man's eyebrows moved slightly, as if he understood something.

After turning over these pages, Samp's hand paused again and he raised his head: Did the security department round up the bounty hunters?

Yes, in the deserted corner in the south of the city, a total of fifteen bounty hunters were dead. But at the beginning, a woman should have rushed out and injured many people. Finally, in the commercial street near the city square Killed.

This is professionalism. In the investigation report of the Police Department, this woman did not appear at all, and she was only regarded as a victim who was affected.

Well... He responded in a low voice. Under the invisible hood, Samp's brows were already frowning.

In the beginning, Samp accompanied Eunice to strangle the secret organization of the Gray Army. Of course, he knew about the existence of these bounty hunters. Even when Samp came, he wanted to find them and find out what happened. Unexpectedly, they were all dead now. Now... What happens next? Samp lost a little patience in watching and asked directly, Tell me about the battle in the city.

Uh, okay. The middle-aged man paused for a moment, as if sorting out the information in his mind, and then said, About the content of the battle in the city, I basically got it from the onlookers... Well, first of all, there are The two people are the two people in the portrait you showed me...

Wait a minute. Samp suddenly waved his hand to stop, with an incomprehensible tone, You mean there are only two people fighting, um, a one-on-one duel?

Yes.

After being stunned for a moment, Samp slowly exhaled and said, Continue.

On the way here, Samp and Oliver naturally made some guesses. To be honest, they didn't think that the person fighting against Eunice was just one person. The reason was simple. Eunice was too fast. A single warrior would not be able to defend her, let alone attack her. As for saying that the other party is some kind of air-level master, it is impossible, because if someone with such strength really fights against Eunice, then the commotion will not be so big... The next two people should It was a tie and almost destroyed a commercial street...

A tie? Okay, it's a tie... Samp pursed his lips and suppressed the shock in his heart again.

Then the news came from the security hall. One was a black mist and the other was a red whirlwind. They worked together to destroy the statue... When the two appeared again, there was a dagger stuck in the left chest, but there was no one there. Die. Then we joked for a while and actually left together...

The dark mist turned out to be Eunice... At this time, Samp had no luck anymore, and at the same time, his heart sank. He was too familiar with Eunice's character. Under the current fighting situation, it was impossible for her to choose to stop unless... What else?

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, They later...well, it seemed that they entered a clothing store...well, I can't be sure whether this news is true or not.

The battle was so fierce, and in the end they ended up meeting to visit a shop. This inexplicable reversal, no matter who heard it, would think it was nonsense! So when the middle-aged man said this, he also emphasized that the source of the information was unreliable.

Damn... Under the robe, Samp's pale hands were pinching each other, and his joints were blue. It would be nonsense if this happened to others, but to Eunice, it was perfectly normal.

Ahem, the news later was that the man grabbed a carriage and left without a trace. The woman never appeared again... Well, that's the specific situation.

After the middle-aged man finished describing the situation, the room fell into a brief silence.

Samp stood there quietly without any words or movements, seeming to be in a daze. However, the slightly trembling black robe showed that he was not as calm as he appeared.

Eunice...should be dead!

To be honest, although no one said it before, both Samp and Oliver had thought about this result. In fact, this is also the most likely possibility. With Eunice's temperament and character, if she hadn't reached a dead end, how could she have easily used the Eye of Space... However, people will have fantasies when they don't get exact information. But now, this fantasy has undoubtedly been broken... The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, but he didn't urge Samp, he just stood aside.

After a long time, huh... Samp took a deep breath and asked lightly: Where is the specific location of that shop?

Huh? The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then he realized the specific location of the clothing store.

Thank you...well, you used to be a bounty hunter, right? After thanking him, Thumper asked lightly.

The middle-aged man looked stunned and forced a smile: Haha, I fooled around for a while, that was many years ago.

I mean, you should know me, right? The tone was still indifferent, and the shadowy face under the hood seemed to hide a bottomless abyss, I guess, you probably recognized me when I took out the portrait. ?”

The atmosphere in the room gradually became weird, How, how could it be possible? It's our first time meeting. The middle-aged man's eyes flashed and he waved his hands to deny.

Slowly stretching out his hand from under his robe, Samp curled his lips: Then let me change the question. Well, how many gold coins can you get for betraying the news that I am here?

A trace of panic flashed across the middle-aged man's face, but he still tried to maintain his composure and said, I, I don't understand what you are talking about. Well, is there some misunderstanding between us...

Before he finished speaking, suddenly, boom... the covered door exploded, and then a figure flew in from the outside. Bang, it fell on the chair that had been straightened before and was smashed directly.

Haha, are you done talking? What a coincidence, I just happened to take care of it. Amidst the long laughter, the burly Oliver strode in.

The middle-aged man looked at his motionless subordinate on the ground, and his expression finally changed. He took a few steps back with a pale face. In his haste, he bumped a few things and fell to the ground in a panic.

Seeing this, Samp's lips curled up slightly, as if he was sneering, and his hands turned into claws, as if he had grabbed something out of thin air.

Roar! At this moment, the middle-aged man who was in a state of embarrassment suddenly jumped up and hit the corner of the wall. Poof, the seemingly heavy load-bearing wall was penetrated like paper. A deep underground passage appeared... But unfortunately, his figure was already fixed in the air at this time. No matter how hard his hands and feet struggled and his face was distorted, he could not step into the escape passage that was so close at hand.

Waving his hand, bang, the middle-aged man was thrown back into the center of the room.

Haha, it's interesting. I'm worthy of being a bounty hunter. Oliver glanced at the passage going straight down and praised with emotion.

When they found this place before, the two of them already knew the identity of the middle-aged man. Just in case, Samp asked Oliver to stay outside. Unexpectedly, he happened to kidnap the man on the ground who was going to inform him. people.

You know our identities, and you also know our methods. Well, let me ask you a few questions. You won't refuse, right? Samp reached out to help the middle-aged man up and pressed him on the table beside him and asked softly.

I admit defeat. The middle-aged man said with a pale face and a bachelor, You can ask, I just want to give me a happy ending.

Deal. Well, who do you want to report to?

Go through a few procedures, but it will eventually reach the Temple of Light. The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said without hesitation, Eunice's identity has been recognized, and you, the Twilight Hunters, are all involved. On the road The price is one hundred thousand.

Okay. So Eunice's body is not here? Thumper asked again.

Corpse? Oliver's face changed drastically and he cried out. Then he looked sad and lowered his head. The previous guess came true... No. I haven't seen her since I entered the shop.

What's the identity of the person who fought with Eunice?

I don't know. The middle-aged man shook his head and then emphasized, I really don't know... I have never heard of this person before.

OK, thank you!

Hiss...bang. As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man's head seemed to have been cut across by a sharp blade, blood spurted, and he rolled down with his previous expression fixed.

...Oliver's face was complicated: Eunice...is really dead?

No wonder he didn't believe it. Since the establishment of the Twilight Hunters, the five of them have been involved in bloody battles for so many years. But in recent times, members have died one after another.

Well... let's go. I told you on the way to go to the shops in the city first.
