What he just said made people even more uncomfortable. The dead was not a simple matter to talk about.
“It’s really a good place, but people can die everywhere.” The young man’s smile turned into an evil laugh. “Right?”
This person must have killed someone, w.a.n.g Yao thought. The young man had a faint b.l.o.o.d.y Qi on his body, which he had sensed on more than one person before.
“Goodbye”, the young man said.
“Wait, can you tell me something before you go.” w.a.n.g Yao stopped in front of him.
The young man carefully looked at w.a.n.g Yao as if he was admiring a strange thing. “Interesting, what is your surname?”
“w.a.n.g…”
While they were taking, Zhong Liuchuan came out of his room. He was thinking about the young man and suddenly realized that the guy was a wayward master. To be straightforward, he was an insane murderer who would kill without hesitation. He would hurt the people in the village.
He rushed out to catch up with the young man. Once outside, he the man was stopped by another person. He hurriedly stepped up in front of the two and put his hand on his waist.
“Sir?” He was relieved after seeing who had stopped the young man. With w.a.n.g Yao’s ability, he could defeat him.
“Hey, why did you come out? Did you figure it out?” The young man looked at Zhong Liuchuan and smiled.
“Do you know him?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“I know him,” Zhong Liuchuan said.
“You call him Sir?” The young man glanced over to w.a.n.g Yao. He shook his head and said, “I can’t see it. I really can’t see it.”
“Who is he?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“A killer,” Zhong Liuchuan said after a moment of silence.
“How could you tell him such a big secret?” The young man’s expression made him appear surprised, but one could easily tell that he was pretending. He didn’t care at all. “Oh, it’s a pity that you are to die at such a young age.”
“Is that so?” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Well, you know my true ident.i.ty,” the young man said. “People who know my true ident.i.ty are either dead or my people. Unfortunately, you are not one of my men.”
Zhong Liuchuan, who was holding a dagger, suddenly shouted, “Mr. w.a.n.g. Be careful!”
Clang!
His dagger quickly fell to the ground.
“You…” Zhong Liuchuan felt that his body had no strength at all. He soon fell to the ground.
“How do you feel? Are you feeling sore, weak, dizzy, and sick?” the young man asked. “You are a top-ranked professional killer. How can you be so easily defeated?”
The young man turned to w.a.n.g Yao and smiled. “It’s up to you.”
w.a.n.g Yao nodded before raising his hand and pressing it gently. The young man fell to the ground.
“How could this be?!” The laughter on the young man’s face was replaced by shock.
He felt as if a mountain had been pressed against him, squeezing him from all sides. It was difficult to resist.
“What is your name?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“What?” The young man was having difficulty handling the strange pressure.
“Forget it.” w.a.n.g Yao turned his open palm into a fist.
The young man flew out and slammed into the wall of the house. He hit so hard it cracked the cement walls.
The young man fell to the ground. It felt as if his bones were shattered. He thought, Was that a superpower? He licked his bleeding mouth and wanted to laugh, but his smile was uglier than crying.
“Mr. w.a.n.g, be careful,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “He is extremely insidious and vicious.”
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
w.a.n.g Yao waved his hand. Small debris lifted and sped through the air. It all flew into the young man’s body. In a moment, blood flowed out of his eyes, ears, and nostrils.
Just before he died, he thought, This is a great place!
“Sir, let me handle it since he came for me,” Zhong Liuchuan said.
The young man had died in the mountain village in the middle of a bright day, so it was difficult to hide. The police came and took away the corpse, as well as Zhong Liuchuan. w.a.n.g Yao thought also went to the police station.
Since someone had died, it was a big case. The county public security bureau took it over. They found a knife, silver needles, a gun, and other equipment on the young man.
The police officers responsible for the case were puzzled. They could not figure out who the man was. The ID card he had been carrying was fake.
The forensic doctor inspecting the body was surprised. They young man’s body was covered with scars, knife wounds and gunshot wounds, most of which were old injuries. Internally, he had multiple fractures and viscera ruptures. These kinds of wounds were usually caused by a car accident.
The man also had a unique tattoo on his body. It was a snake with a dagger in its mouth.
After some investigations, w.a.n.g Yao and Zhong Liuchuan were released, but they were told not to leave Lianshan County and to cooperate with the police investigation.
“Who was he?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“A killer. He belongs to an organization,” Zhong Liuchuan said.
“Like the a.s.sa.s.sin League?” w.a.n.g Yao asked. “I am hungry. Let me treat you to dinner. You can tell me your story.”
They went to the restaurant at the foot of the mountain. They ordered a few dishes and a pot of tea. Neither of them liked to drink.
Zhong Liuchuan shared some of his experiences. He had originally joined a loose organization. At first, it was like a talent market where they could receive jobs and get a certain amount of payment. At that time, he only took the work of hara.s.sing debtors. Gradually, he learned things and realized that the organization was unusual. It accepted a.s.sa.s.sination jobs, as long as the price was right.
The organization was very strict. One could voluntarily join and voluntarily withdraw, and one was under the protection of the organization. But, there was one rule that had to be followed. The company’s needs always had to be the priority, no matter what.
Zhong Liuchuan did a good job for the organization. His task completion rate was high. Before long, he chose to quit.
“I was short on money at that time, but a task changed my mind,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “I took a task where the target was a family. We engaged in this career, only completing tasks regardless of the reason.”
He paused his story to drink a cup of tea. He looked at w.a.n.g Yao and continued his story.
“The couple were in their 30s, and they had a very cute daughter. They were a very happy family. I did not know why when I saw the girl, I suddenly felt soft and gave up the task. But, their family still died in a vehicle accident. Later, I learned that the couple saw something that they should not see, so some people wanted to destroy them.”
w.a.n.g Yao did not interrupt him. He just listening quietly. It was hard to imagine that these episodes, which could only be seen in movies and novels, actually happened in real life.
“After that, I quit and paid them a sum of money,” Zhong Liuchuan said.
“Why were they still coming to you?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“Because of that rule that we must give priority to meet the organization’s needs,” Zhong Liuchuan said. A worried look appeared on his face. “Maybe they found something,”
He had regretted his choice to join the organization many times. He did not want to know so many secrets. Plus, it was very difficult to quit.
“Tell me about that young man,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“In our industry, the pract.i.tioners are actually graded, just like a company with junior employees, middle-level employees, and managers. He was the best among them,” Zhong Liuchuan said.
