Ultimate Assassin System

In the evening, it rained heavily.

It is not appropriate to go out at this time and in this weather. Of course, this only refers to ordinary people.

It was windy and rainy, and the night was like a curtain. Although it is inconvenient, it is also a protective color for some special professions, such as gangsters, mercenaries, nightingales, etc. For these people, if they are not in a hurry to do something, they will usually go to a relatively fixed place of entertainment - a tavern. There are all kinds of taverns in the city, large and small!

Nancheng, a tavern hall. The lights were bright, and the two movable wooden doors could not cover up the bustle of people inside. The greetings, invitations to drink, loud cheers, and the occasional screams of women in scantily clad clothes mixed with the smell of alcohol and the smoky atmosphere in the room.

This is the busiest time in the tavern, and if nothing else happens, the excitement will last until at least the early morning.

Drink, drink... Hey, daddy, what's going on with you today? You've been so distracted all night. It's really frustrating!

Maybe I have an old friend here, but the caravan is leaving tomorrow morning, so I'm worried that I can't explain it, right? Haha...

Bah, what are you so stupid about?

I am so angry, haha...

…

The ones who were talking were four big men sitting at the wine table in the center of the hall. With a burly figure and bulging muscles, he is no simple character at first glance. Based on the content of their words, they should be the accompanying guards of a passing caravan, or the mercenaries hired by the caravan.

The big man who was being teased suddenly became a little annoyed when he saw that he couldn't argue with his companion. Shut up, you guys. I'm thinking about something... Damn it. It's really a bit evil when you think about it!

Evil? What do you say?

After hesitating for a moment, the big man raised his head and drank a large bowl of wine, then put it down with a bang: Have you heard of Tang En?

Twain...which Tang En?

Nonsense, who are you talking about, Tang En? Fortunately, you were a mercenary before. Of course, he is the guy who is wanted by Bran and the whole continent of the temple.

Scratching his head, Oh, him. There is such a person, and the wanted portrait is still hanging on the top of each guild's mission card... Wow, that bounty is so tempting! It seems that as long as you provide clues, there are hundreds of thousands of gold coins. .Fuck! If I happen to meet him, I will be a fucking guard...

Well, I think I bumped into him.

What! There was a loud bang, and he hit the table. The wine pots and bowls shook together, and he almost smashed the table with just one punch. The noisy and lively tavern hall suddenly fell silent due to this movement. Lines of sight gathered from all directions.

Uh... I'm sorry, everyone. Sorry, my friend is a little drunk...

No one who comes to the tavern at this time is a bad person, and it is better to do more than to do less. A big man quickly stood up and pulled his companion down, waving his hands and saluting in all directions to express his apology.

It's not a big deal. Since he has already apologized, even if he has a bad temper, he just muttered a few curses. Soon, the tavern hall returned to its original atmosphere.

He breathed a sigh of relief and complained, Why are you so damn excited? Didn't I tell you? It just seems that I have touched you, so I can't be sure yet.

I'm so excited. Go on and tell me in detail, where did you meet me?

Actually, there's nothing to say... We're going to the city to settle down today. The group leader said it might rain heavily tonight and we're going to spend the night here, so he asked me to go into the city first and find a cheaper hotel. I'm looking around for people. , but I bumped into him accidentally in the city square. After chatting for a while, he said he was not a local and couldn’t help me, so we left.”

He paused and scratched his forehead, At that time, I thought he looked familiar, but for a while I couldn't remember where I had seen him before, so I didn't think much about it. Later, I found the hotel and went out to the city to look for you. I saw that he was posted in the city. Those wanted notices at the door suddenly reminded me of him... I took the time to go to the Mercenary Guild in the afternoon, damn, the more I looked at them, the more I thought about them, the more they looked like me, so I was a little stunned...

Is it really him?! The excited man became a little excited again. Then he thought of something and carefully looked around. Then he lowered his voice and said excitedly, Hundreds of thousands of rewards for providing clues! Boss, what are you going to do? Send it!

What the hell, I already told you that there is nothing to say. With a wry smile, the big man shook his head, If I had followed him, confirmed that it was Tang En, and then touched his whereabouts, that would have been a clue. Now you How do you want me to report it? They said they met Tang En in this city, but now they don’t know where they are, and they’re not sure if it’s him... Isn’t this nonsense? It would be strange for the police station and the church to ignore me. They don’t treat me It would be nice to fight him off as a gangster trying to cheat the bounty.

Oh, that's right, what a pity...

It's a pity. If it is confirmed that it is Tang En, then I would rather not get the commission from this business group, but stay in this city to look around and try my luck. But now... I don't have that life, so we should earn our money honestly. That hard-earned money.”

Forget it, let's not talk about it... drink, after drinking, we have to get up early and rush on the road tomorrow...

…

The few big men didn't stay here for long. After drinking the wine from the wine can on the table, they got up and left the tavern while they were tipsy.

But just as they opened the door and left, the young man sitting at the next table, drinking sullenly, suddenly raised his head and glanced at the wooden door of the tavern, showing a bit of excitement that could not be concealed, and murmured to himself: Wanted criminal... Tang Well...hehe, I didn't expect that I would gain something like this just by going out for a drink. It's really... God's blessing!

Drawing a prayer gesture on his chest without any sincerity, the young man grabbed the wine can on the table, stood up and left impatiently. Almost at the same time, the guests at the next tables were also pushing their tables and getting up.

After a pause, they looked at each other a few times, each understanding something from the other's vigilant expression, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle. The young man who got up first had a trace of bitterness on his lips. He spread his hands, moved his lips slightly, and said silently: Good luck.

Good luck. He nodded silently, the atmosphere relaxed, and then several people hurriedly left the tavern.

There is an unspoken tacit understanding. Since this news is destined not to be kept exclusively, now it is up to anyone to find Tang En faster. But what they didn't expect was that conversations like this were now happening in various taverns in the city, or near guilds and other places where news circulated. It goes on and on...

The light rain has a tendency to intensify. One after another, they fell from the sky above the city. And this time. In every corner of the city, undercurrents are constantly surging...

…

Dongcheng District, aristocratic residence.

Betsy stood behind the large floor-to-ceiling window, holding her hands behind her hands, looking quietly at the dark night outside the window and the traces of water sliding along the smooth crystal glass wall, in a daze.

This kind of state is not common for her. She used to be the most favored noble lady. I don’t know what sorrow is. Later, she became a strong business woman in her family. Although the responsibilities on her became heavier, she also learned how to restrain her emotions and not show her joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.

But now, her emotions are very chaotic, and her thoughts are like raindrops outside the window, floating and falling without knowing where... She doesn't think about taking them back, because she wants to use this to recall some things, some things that happened during the day...

Is it him... using a dagger, the sound is similar. They are about the same height, but their faces are completely different... that's right. He used to be very good at pretending...the most important thing was his personality and speech habits. It seems verbose, and even sounds a little funny. In fact, it is random madness and wanton cruelty... It must be him...

Dong-dong-dong, there was a gentle knock on the wooden door behind her, which instantly brought Betsy back from her reverie. He took a slight breath and turned around, his expression calm, completely gone.

Come in.

Miss. It was the young guard. The trousers on his shoulders were still dripping with rain. He had obviously just hurried back from outside. Everything has been arranged according to your request. Now the news about the wanted criminal has almost been spread. All over the city.”

Okay. Betsy nodded lightly and said, Thanks for your hard work, everyone. Each person will receive five gold coins, which will be used to pay for the drinks I invited everyone. But I can't drink this wine now, and I have to trouble Uncle Luo to arrange for them to return to the family overnight. Well, Let them remember that no one is allowed to tell anyone about this.”

Okay, miss, I'll do it now. He simply turned around, but after hesitating when he went out, the Nian guard named Uncle Luo couldn't help but ask, Miss... why are we doing this?

Looking at Betsy's calm eyes, he continued, We are leaving tomorrow, there is no need to cause this trouble. And even if the wanted criminal is really in this city, it has nothing to do with us, right? To do this, we not only have to If there is no benefit, there is still the possibility of being resented by the wanted criminal. This...

After hesitating, Betsy said, The gain is not worth the loss, right? She shook her head, Uncle Luo, I have my reasons, and I'm sorry I can't tell you. Also, postpone the trip, we won't go back tomorrow, I have an appointment with Annie I’ll go shopping this afternoon.”

Not going back? Then the master will ask...

Send the cooperation agreement back tomorrow and let them take over. If my father asks, he will tell me that I need to contact the person in charge of the Yatang Business Group in a few days to establish a good relationship for future cooperation.

Listening to Betsy arranging everything in an orderly manner, Guard Nian understood her persistence. He was silent for a moment, bowed and stepped back: Yes, Miss.

The door was closed again, and at this moment Betsy took off the authority of the superior, turned around, looked up out of the window again, silently calculating.

If he continues to pretend, with his ability, even if I mobilize all the thieves in the city, it will be difficult to dig him out... It seems that I need to change my thinking...

The people known here to be related to him are Allen, Philip, and the half-dead Wen Silin... The first two should be friends with him, and the latter is against him... Well, Wen Silin is the most A good breakthrough. Unfortunately, he had already left the city with Philip and was nowhere to be found. Now only Allen is left... If it is really him, then his current status is a wanted criminal. Even if Allen knew, he wouldn't tell anyone...the threat of insinuations? No, I don’t have any evidence. Doing so may alarm the snake and have the opposite effect...

Be careful, Betsy, he is very cunning. You must be careful this time and be patient. You must not leave any clues...

After thinking quietly for a while, she stretched out her palm and pressed it against the cold window wall, covering Betsy's blurred face. A faint sigh slowly echoed in the room, I'm sorry, Annika, sister can only use you this time. …”

…

Xicheng, small hotel.

Xia Wei'an woke up very late. When she opened her eyes, it was completely dark. She was so groggy that she didn't know how long she had slept. This was the most peaceful and peaceful sleep she had had in half a month. As a result, she widened her eyes and froze for a long time before she remembered that she was no longer a prisoner. But he was saved.

Think of this. That reminds me of Tang En. Turning around, I found that the other person was not beside the pillow. I thought of where I was now and the absurdity of the afternoon...

With a squeak, feeling the unfamiliar and slightly painful feeling in his lower body, he buried his head in the quilt again, ...I'm going to kill you, Xia Wei'an...you say everything, you're shameless...

It's still proactive...

I can't bear it anymore. Making that shameful sound...

Ahhhh...

…

After being so entangled for a moment, okay, our Xia Wei'an children's shoes are still strong after all, and quickly adjusted their mentality, and even had the mind to reflect on the ridiculous scene, Is this what you said it felt like to do that? No, it's not It's very beautiful and joyful, and it still hurts... Well, it's also a little bit comfortable... But that's not the point. The point is that I, Xia Wei'an, didn't find an old man, although I almost became someone else's lover like you...

He muttered to himself for a moment facing the empty top of the bed. Like talking to people and distinguishing something. If ordinary people saw this, they would probably think they were crazy. And if someone who knew Xia Wei'an saw it... they would probably think that he was crazy.

All right. Regardless of whether others are crazy or not, at least Xia Wei'an is in a good mood at the moment. As my vision gradually adapted and recovered, I realized that the room was not completely dark, but that there was a faint layer of yellow outside the thick curtains.

Turning his head, the light became more obvious. It must be because there is an oil lamp burning on the table in the room outside the curtain. With this thought in mind, Xia Wei'an slowly raised her arm and reached towards the curtain, trying to open it.

Raising a little height, his arm suddenly paused in the air, then hesitantly swayed up and down, and his speed seemed to speed up. Xia Wei'an looked happy, knowing that the effect of the restriction was slightly fading. This also shows that her level of strength is improving, and she seems to be about to break through...

Of course, martial arts are subtle, and the so-called breakthrough is actually not accurate. It might take a month, or it might happen in the next second.

After being delighted for a while, Xia Wei'an reached out to the curtain again... The length was not enough, so she turned around slowly, as if she was decomposing in slow motion. After enough again, I touched the edge of the curtain and slowly parted it to one side.

Light poured in, and a small oil lamp was indeed lit on the wooden table in the center of the room. The wick should have been adjusted so that the flame is very small and not too bright to affect sleep.

When Xia Wei'an saw this, a smile appeared on her lips. Although it was an inconspicuous little detail, it was enough to make people feel warm.

I didn't expect him to be quite attentive...

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a creak and the wooden door of the room was gently pushed open from the outside. Tang En appeared outside the door carrying a tray of steaming food. They looked at each other, slightly startled, and said with a smile: Are you awake? Haha, it seems that you are lucky and can just eat hot food.

Seeing Tang En again, Xia Wei'an's cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly. Fortunately, it was not very bright in the room and she couldn't see clearly. Subconsciously he nodded and waved: Yeah...ah!

Her right hand was opening the curtain, so Xia Wei'an could only greet her with her left hand. Just now, her left hand was supporting her restrained body. When she took it away, she leaned forward involuntarily, widened her eyes, exclaimed in a low voice, and watched the edge of the wooden bed getting closer and closer to her head...

This time humiliating!

Be careful. He closed his eyes. The expected pain did not come as expected, and his forehead hit a soft patch. How fast Tang En was. Even though he only took a breath, it was enough for him to rush to the bedside. On the way, he placed the tray firmly on the wooden table, and then reached out to hold Xia Wei'an's forehead.

If you want anything, just let me come... eh? Before he finished speaking, Tang En looked at the curtain that Xia Wei'an pulled down easily and put it under his hood. He was stunned, looked down at the bed, and subconsciously leaned over to cover his head. Xia Wei'an took it into her arms.

Boom——Bang——

Splinters of wood mixed with dust instantly rose up, and the wooden floor trembled. There were several faint screams outside the door, as if shouting an earthquake, followed by the sound of the door opening and the sound of hurried steps on the stairs.

Ahem... With a whoosh, the curtains were opened, and a somewhat disgraced Tang En stood up with Xia Wei'an in his arms. The two of them looked down at the collapsed bed under them, feeling speechless for a moment.

Touching his nose, Tang En said thoughtfully: In the afternoon we... uh, were we so intense?

Dang, dang, dang... of course not, this afternoon... this bed is old... Women are always thin-skinned about this kind of thing. Xia Wei'an blushed and said a few words, then buried her head in Tang En's arms and pretended to be an ostrich.

Tang En nodded seriously: No wonder there's so much dust, it's really old. Hiss - He took a breath and grinned. Although she did not raise her head, Xia Wei'an's fingers still lingered precisely on Tang En's waist, and said in a muffled voice, Shut up!

Of course this is a joke, maybe the bed is a little old, but it is definitely not to the point where it will collapse after you build it. The main reason is still due to the restrictions on Xia Wei'an's body, but when it comes to weight, even if it is only virtual and temporary, no woman is willing to admit that she weighed down the bed.

Dong-dong-dong, there was a knock on the door, Boss, are you in there? Michu's people lived downstairs, so of course they wouldn't think it was an earthquake. I judged that there was something wrong upstairs, and I heard the noise coming from this house, so I immediately came over. Of course, with Tang En here, they wouldn't be too nervous, otherwise they would have broken in long ago.

It's okay, the bed...hiss...well, there is a small problem. You go down to the store to get the key and then book a room. In addition, I will give you some extra money as compensation.

Uh...yes...
