I think my luck is turning around.

“At that time, sitting by the river, she asked me a question: whether I had anyone I cared about.”

At that moment, James's smile was undisguised, but his face was full of questions. What did he mean by that question? What was he trying to express?

"At that time, I shook my head, and Xiaoyuzhu suddenly moved closer. Even now, thinking about that action makes me a little flustered."

Ange was puzzled. She had a question: James heard Xiaoyuzhu speak in the water, and at the same time, Xiaoyuzhu had already released the air from her mouth.

So how did the little raindrop speak? An Ge couldn't understand how sounds could be made underwater, and she decisively concluded that this little raindrop wasn't a person. Based on the current clues, it seemed that immortals lived on Nangge Island, so the little raindrop's identity could lean towards that of a fairy.

"Her next sentence was, 'Let's be friends!'"

When James said that, An Ge couldn't hold back anymore. She hadn't thought of it that way. An Ge thought Xiao Yuzhu was going to use love to punish James! She didn't expect it to be friendship.

"Then what do you say?" An Ge was genuinely curious about how the story would unfold; this little raindrop was definitely not simple.

“I said, I’m here to kill you. I don’t make friends with my prey.”

Unexpectedly, James said that, and An Ge screamed, startling those around her who thought she had gone mad. An Ge instinctively covered her mouth, trying to control herself and prevent herself from losing control again.

"Go on!"

An Ge's expectations for the story are now incredibly high. This relationship is definitely going to change, whether it's one-sided or mutual, whether it's James's side or Xiao Yuzhu's side.

However, An Ge felt that Zhan Shi's emotional change was the most likely explanation; judging from Zhan Shi's current expression, she already knew a lot. But she just smiled and remained silent; she wanted to hear more of the story!

"But she didn't seem to mind at all, and just smiled and said, 'Hello James, I want to be your friend.'"

I never expected such a reply. I was stunned. For the first time, I had the idea of ​​giving up on this task. But then I thought, since it's a task, it's not impossible to do it for three or five years. Maybe I should put the task aside for now!

Looking at her, I smiled brightly. This child evoked those feelings in me, and it was the only time I'd ever felt that way.

After that, I decided to take her all over the country to hide from the people of the Wild Ghosts. Anyway, not many people knew about this mission, except for Boss Ye at the time.

I traveled all over the country with her, and that time was really happy. I was so happy to see her every day! Later, I realized that I had fallen in love with her. I told her, and she seemed very happy and responded to my love.

We bowed to heaven and earth, we bowed to our parents, and we became husband and wife, a real husband and wife. Then I got pregnant. During that time, I truly felt so happy. I was the happiest person in the world. I had a wife and children. I was no longer alone, no longer lonely. I had them!

But unexpectedly, with my unborn child and my wife about to give birth, at such a crucial moment, I was urged to complete my mission, and I had no choice but to... take action.

An Ge's smile slowly turned downwards. This guy in front of her, for the sake of his mission, had killed his own wife? Had he sacrificed the mother for the child?

An Ge's slightly open mouth revealed her surprise and incomprehension. The person in front of her was still an assassin, a cold-blooded assassin, still preoccupied with his own affairs.

He was already a top-tier assassin, he could have easily taken his wife and run away together. Why, after being urged, did he choose to kill his own wife?

James ignored the surprise and incomprehension of the person opposite him and continued to recount that night.

He says,

The moon was big, round, and bright that night. He encountered Ye Shuwen, who was being held hostage, and saw Ye Shuwen standing there in terror, looking at him.

Then Ye Shuwen said in a very frightened tone, "You should go and carry out your mission. You can't delay any longer!"

If this continues, everything will be a losing proposition.

Ye Shuwen's voice was urgent, revealing the urgency of the matter. James, relying on his intuition, knew that the person was behind Ye Shuwen, but hidden in the shadows, unseen by James.

Seeing Ye Shuwen's panic, and relying on his own intuition, he knew he couldn't defeat the person lurking in the shadows. He didn't know if his thoughts had been revealed, or if that person's murderous intent had already been awakened and he had sensed the other's killing intent.

James seemed to be coerced as well. Instead of waiting anxiously at the door, he kicked the door open and entered.

Then came a scream that shattered the silence of the night: the birth of a child, the final cry of a mother passing away, and the anguish of a husband.

That night, one man lost his mother, and another lost his wife. None of the midwives who came to deliver the babies left that night, none of them left that man's house.

After that night, five bodies, one missing person, and an infant were found. This had become a legend in the city, and the local authorities simply ruled it as Zhan Shi fleeing to escape punishment.

For more than two decades afterward, this series of murders remained an unsolved case in the city.

Ann saw James's pain at that moment and she was carefully analyzing the person James was talking about behind the scenes, the person hiding in the shadows.

According to James, the real killer, or rather, the person who actually hired him, is lurking in the shadows. Two years have passed, and he can't wait any longer. He must coerce James into killing Xiaoyuzhu, but why kill Xiaoyuzhu?

I can't understand this reason, I don't know it, and I don't comprehend it.

The story has been told to the point where it is now all James's confession. An Ge has not said a word, but she has changed from being excited at the beginning to calmly analyzing the situation. She is no longer in the same state as before.

"Then how did you find out later that Xiaoyuzhu's soul returned to Nange Island?"

"It's a letter Ye Shuwen left for me, you could say it's his will! He wrote down everything he knew in the letter and left it in a specific place, waiting for me to retrieve it."

"Is that place only known to the two of you? Is it possible that a third person knows about it?"

Ange's caution was indeed necessary, and James answered seriously. It was a box that only the two of them knew could open, through a specific location and with specific symbols.

People only know that immortals on Nangkat Island bestow elixirs to strengthen the body and grant immortality. However, they don't know that Nangkat Island is not a blessed land; entering it is extremely difficult, comparable to ascending to heaven!
