CHAPTER 43: THE MYSTERY OF THE WORLD
“Of course, there"s a great possibility that the topa.s.sa.s.sins of the organization have been maintaining the empty sh.e.l.l reputationof the ‘Mythical Era’. Only the first rate killers of the mythological era havenever joined any killer organization.”
“Oh …”
Zhang Yang’s mind was like a heavenly steed soaring acrossthe skies. It was his first contact with these legends of the world. His eyeswere filled with the color of excitement.
In that magnificent journey and the river of the blood, howmany unknown secrets are hidden in the end?
Beneath the muzzle of that dark hole, how many historicalmists have been buried?
Undoubtedly, being an a.s.sa.s.sins is one of the professions that hasmastered countless secrets!
“The Mythical Era” a.s.sa.s.sination organization was one of thebiggest enigma 20 years ago. No one knew who the boss behind the organizationwas till the end, and n.o.body knows if the organization really existed becausethis a.s.sa.s.sin organization was full of tremendous cohesive force. A lot of youngand outstanding a.s.sa.s.sins still considers it prideful to enter such killerorganization, but unfortunately, in these two decades, no one has entered the‘Mythical Era’ organization … …” The old man’s face was full of disappointment.Obviously, the old man also one of them, and was intoxicated by the fact thathe could never join the ‘Mythical Era’ again.
“If I’m going to be a killer, I’d be at the top of theleaderboard!” Zhang Yang said in a heroic manner.
“Oh, you can dream about it. It’s impossible in existence.”The old man couldn’t help but laugh.
“Why?” Zhang Yang wasn’t convinced.
“Can you fly more than 10 meters high? Can you kick a man’shead into pieces? Can you defeat a large clan by yourself?”
“Ah …ah …ah … Who is so powerful like that? Can he doMartial Arts?” Zhang Yang found it very incredible that a man could jump morethan 10 meters high. Even the Olympic champion could only jump two meters high.
“Ah, the first ranked a.s.sa.s.sin, known as ‘The First Sentinel’.In the past, there was a video circulating on the internet of him a.s.sa.s.sinatinghis target, but unfortunately one day, suddenly the video disappearedovernight. No matter where the video was stored, on every site or every privatecomputer, it miraculously disappeared. No one could explain why … …In fact, thetop ten ranked killers rarely used guns. Their bodies itself had become alethal weapon!” The old man looked thrilled, apparently, “The First Sentinel”was his idol.
“The First Sentinel … why does he have this strange name?”Zhang Yang asked.
“I don’t know, hmm …, but the people inside speculates thatthere was a more powerful person above him, probably the boss of “MythicalEra”, but no one can confirm it!”
“So …, Uncle Li, why did you want to join the a.s.sa.s.sins’organization? Why not do it yourself?”
“Oh, you can do it yourself, however, as a proficientkiller, it is necessary not only to have excellent skills, but also to have agood intelligence network, and the a.s.sa.s.sins’ organizations can provide suchservices, like business approaches, providing weapons, providing pa.s.sportsaround the world and so on. A lot of things that one person alone couldn’thandle. So, an average killer will choose an organization to avoid a lot oftroubles. For example, if you go to a strange country but you do not have theknowledge of the local underground forces and intelligence networks, how willyou get the weapons? You cannot fly with a sniper rifle, right? The old man laughed.
“So, that’s what it is!” Zhang Yang nodded.
“Besides, with a powerful a.s.sa.s.sins’ organization backingyou up, you can prevent many people from seeking revenge because the target’srelatives will keep their hatred towards the head of the a.s.sa.s.sins’ organizationlike the “Mythical Age”. It can provide anything the a.s.sa.s.sins need, and caneven provide protection for the killer. That’s why some people are willing tojoin a powerful a.s.sa.s.sins’ organization.”
“Not only these, but many clients for their own sake, theyare reluctant to find some a.s.sa.s.sins. Instead they prefer to find a reputeda.s.sa.s.sins’ organization than directly contacting an a.s.sa.s.sin because at least,when the mission fails or the a.s.sa.s.sin gets arrested, the client will not beexposed.”
“But you said in the beginning that there are many highranked killers doing it themselves, how do they find a contract?” Zhang Yangasked curiously.
“Hehe, that’s very simple. A slightly famous a.s.sa.s.sins willhave their own business network and old clients. They take over a number oflarge contracts for three years and takes break for next three years. Also,amidst our daily lives, there are information about hiring a.s.sa.s.sins every day,just which the ordinary people does not know about. Those information arelikely to be hidden inside a newspaper advertis.e.m.e.nt, or baffling words on theinternet. In short, these are possibly the clients in the process of hiringkillers. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they will leave a phone call and provideyou with the details of the task. You will give them your account number andwhen the task is completed, the money will be deposited on your account.However, these type of businesses are very risky. First, it could easily be atrap, and secondly, it won’t be that easy to receive the money.
"Of course, the risk I"m talking about is actually verysmall, and it has not happened to me in my a.s.sa.s.sination career. Becausenormally the a.s.sa.s.sins are doing a lot of businesses, and people, they dependon a little bit of money and offend a killer. Whether it’s an ordinary personor gang organizations, the consequences of annoying a killer is very serious,you know. The a.s.sa.s.sins are ghosts hidden in a dark corner, shooting away soulswith bullets. This psychology itself can easily create a huge pressure onpeople …”
“Does this newspaper also have the information about hireda.s.sa.s.sins?” Zhang yang picked up a local newspaper with excitement. Thatnewspaper was his morning breakfast bag of fried dough sticks, and had greasespots all over it.
“Get rid of this newspaper! Are there any persons in thisarea to be hired by a newspaper ad? You might as well ask someone like LiuBiao, that would be much better …”The old man stood up and fiercely knocked onZhang Yang’s head and said, “Look at this one …”
Zhang Yang turned his head to look at the newspaper. It wasa nationwide domestic newspaper, and the population of the country is verylarge.
“Look, you see this processed ads, messy number of processedproducts and the price is surprisingly low. If you combine a number of words,the a.s.sa.s.sins hiring ad will become visible …”
The old man pointed to some of the words to show Zhang Yang.Sure enough, the coherent words had an a.s.sa.s.sination job contents.
