Godslayer: Agent of the Gods, the Stabilizing Force at the Start

"Welcome! What would you like to order?" the beautiful woman asked with a smile, her voice clear and melodious, like a mountain stream, full of life.

Su Ming nodded slightly, but did not answer her question immediately. Instead, he looked around the coffee shop and said softly, "I heard there is a rather special person here. I would like to meet him."

The beautiful woman paused slightly, her smile remaining, but a barely perceptible hint of wariness flashed in her eyes.

She looked Su Ming up and down, seemingly trying to determine his intentions and identity.

After a moment, she said softly, "Are you talking about... that old gentleman?"

Su Ming was overjoyed, knowing he had found the right place, and quickly said, "Yes, that's him."

I have some important questions I'd like to ask him, but I don't know if he's in.

The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment, then said, "He's usually backstage, but... he doesn't meet just anyone."

If there's anything you need, please let me know first, and I'll pass it on for you.

Su Ming frowned. He knew things wouldn't be that simple, but he still decided to be honest: "I've recently encountered some very strange things that concern the safety of many people. I really can't find a solution. I heard he's incredibly powerful and knows many secrets, so I've come to him for help." Su Ming's voice was low and sincere, his eyes filled with anxiety and expectation.

The beautiful woman listened quietly, her expression gradually becoming serious.

She was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll ask for you."

"Please wait a moment." After saying that, she turned and walked backstage.

Su Ming sat down on a chair near the front desk, feeling uneasy.

He didn't know if he could get the old man's help, nor did he know if the old man was really as powerful as the rumors suggested.

His gaze wandered around the café, and seeing other customers leisurely enjoying their coffee and time, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

He hadn't sat down so easily in a long time; those mysterious events weighed heavily on his mind.

After a while, the beautiful woman came out from backstage. She walked up to Su Ming and said, "The old gentleman is willing to see you, but... he has some conditions."

Su Ming quickly stood up and said eagerly, "What are your conditions? As long as you can help me solve this problem, I will do my best to meet them."

The beautiful woman smiled slightly and said, "Please come with me."

Su Ming followed the beautiful woman through a narrow corridor. On the walls of the corridor hung some old photos, the people and scenes in the photos all bearing the marks of time.

In one photo, a young old man and a smiling woman stand in front of a coffee shop, their eyes filled with happiness; other photos document the coffee shop's appearance at different times, witnessing its transformation.

They arrived at a door, and the beautiful woman gently knocked on it, then pushed it open and said, "Please come in."

Su Ming took a deep breath and walked into the room.

The room wasn't large, but it was decorated very exquisitely.

An antique wooden desk sits in the center of the room, piled high with various books and documents.

An old man sat behind the desk. His hair was gray and his face was covered with wrinkles. Time had left deep marks on his face.

His eyes, however, were bright and piercing, as if they could see through everything.

When the old man saw Su Ming come in, he didn't speak immediately. Instead, he looked Su Ming up and down, then pointed to the chair opposite him and said, "Sit down."

After Su Ming sat down, the old man said, "I know why you came, but it won't be that easy for me to help you."

I'm giving you two choices: either give me a fortune, or do something for me.

Su Ming's heart sank. He didn't have much money to begin with, and the exorbitant reward was undoubtedly a pipe dream for him.

But without the slightest hesitation, he firmly stated, "I choose the latter, to do things for you."

The old man smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by Su Ming's answer.

He leaned back in his chair, his eyes dimming, and slowly said, "Many years ago, my wife was murdered."

The murderer has remained at large for many years. I have been searching for him, but I have never been able to find him.

"I need you to help me find this murderer. If you can do that, I'll tell you everything you want to know."

Su Ming was startled; he hadn't expected the old man to make such a request.

Finding a murderer from many years ago is no easy task.

But when he saw the old man's expectant yet pained eyes, his heart softened, and he said, "Sir, I will do my best."

However, could you give me some clues so I can have a direction?

The old man nodded and took out a worn-out folder from his desk drawer, which contained some yellowed photos and documents.

He handed the folder to Su Ming and said, "These are some documents from back then. Although there aren't many, they might be helpful to you."

The murderer is a very cunning person with special abilities, making him difficult to deal with.

You have to be careful. "

Su Ming took the folder and began to carefully look through it.

There are some photos of the crime scene inside. The scene in the photos is very gruesome. His wife is lying in a pool of blood, and the surrounding area is a mess.

There are also some investigation records, but due to the passage of time, many clues have been lost.

In the photo, police officers are busy at the scene, and the police tape is swaying slightly in the wind, as if you can still feel the tension and sorrow of that year.

Su Ming frowned and said after reading the information, "Sir, these clues are indeed too few."

Could you please describe the events of that year in more detail, such as the killer's appearance and characteristics?

The old man closed his eyes, seemingly recalling that painful past.

After a while, he slowly said, "Back then, my wife and I were suddenly attacked on our way home one night."

The killer was a dark figure, moving incredibly fast; I didn't even get a clear look at his face.

He exuded an aura of evil, like... a demon from hell.

He knocked my wife to the ground with just one move.

I tried my best to fight back, but he easily defeated me.

When I came to my senses, he had vanished without a trace, leaving only my wife's and my corpses. The old man's voice trembled, his eyes filled with pain and resentment.

As Su Ming listened to the old man's story, he was filled with anger and sympathy.

He clenched his fist and said, "Sir, rest assured, I will definitely find the murderer and avenge your wife."

The old man opened his eyes, looked at Su Ming, and his eyes were filled with gratitude and expectation.

He said, "Okay, I believe you."

Feel free to ask me any questions you have, and I'll do my best to help.

Su Ming nodded, stood up, and said, "Then I'll go back and study these materials first. I'll let you know as soon as I have any progress."
