From the Life of Killer X

, from far to near.

Axiu heard a slightly surprised voice: "I didn't expect you to dare to lead us here."

Noticing the word "we", Axiu pursed his lips slightly, and his usual expressionless expression became serious.

An assassin who can come out of the darkness and confront them head-on is either stupid or a real master.

Axiu didn't speak, he looked around, and suddenly moved after a while, moving towards one of the directions as if flying by, there were only incomplete shadows shuttled in the wind in the misty darkness.

In this abandoned square, the two began to fight with their bare hands.

The opponent is very powerful, extremely accurate, and quite capable of coping.

Ashiu thought to himself.Suddenly, there seemed to be some dangerous alarm message beeping in my mind.He avoided the flying legs of the person opposite, and then took a few steps back.In the next second, a few bullets scratched a few shallow bullet marks on the ground.

"You really don't look like an ordinary target." The other person laughed in a low voice, "It's so strange that we couldn't find out your identity."

Axiu snorted coldly, then raised his eyes cautiously, and fixed his gaze on the top of the deserted "haunted house" in the distance.After a while, he lowered his gaze, and suddenly raised his foot forward to strike obliquely. For some reason, the person opposite was hit in the abdomen hard, and he groaned in pain, and half-bowed involuntarily.

bang bang-

Several gunshots pierced the silent sky, the person on the opposite side was hit in both feet by the gun that Axiu suddenly pulled out, and bullets flew from a direction not far away, Axiu narrowly avoided, but The last bullet slashed across his right arm, blood dripped across his arm and fell to the ground, and a sweet smell filled the air.

Without blinking his eyes, Ah Xiu shot the fallen man in front of him a few more times, and then galloped in one direction.

In a hidden corner on the roof, the girl lying on her stomach saw her collapsing partner through the scope, she gave a disdainful smack, and said in disgust: "Cut, the temporary partner is just unreliable, and I don't have the ability to talk too much."

The next moment, the disdain on the girl's face disappeared immediately, revealing a look of guard.She stood up abruptly, wanting to leave the roof of this building.

Axiu walked quickly in the haunted house that sold horror in the hospital, and he quietly stepped up the stairs.Because the shot just hit the place where he was injured not long ago, a tingling sensation permeated his whole body from his arm, but he didn't care about it at all, and simply tied it with the bandage he carried with him.

Soon, the two met on a narrow path in the corridor.

The sweet-looking girl held a sniper, a rifle, and a gun, and stopped on the first step. She looked at Ah Xiu who was standing in front of her in surprise. She obviously didn't expect the target person to move so fast.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the motionless Axiu, with an unpredictable smile on her face.

The girl seemed to have suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder you look so familiar to me."

Ash: "..."

The girl said, "So it was you, X."

Axiu: "Yellow Oriole."

When he saw the girl's face clearly, Ah Xiu knew the identity of the person in front of him.This young girl who seemed to have just grown up was a well-known mercenary in the Dark Realm. She looked harmless to humans and animals, but she actually killed people without blinking an eye.They met once before. Axiu once received a mission. After waiting for the mission location, he found out that Huang Ying had also accepted the mission. The two refused to give in to each other. Word.

Although it was Ah Xiu who killed the target in the end, it has to be said that Huang Ying's strength is indeed not to be underestimated.

So, Ah Xiu stared at the girl in front of him with cold and guarded eyes.

Eleven: No danger

Huang Ying smiled, looking harmless to humans and animals, she relaxed her body, and said, "Don't look at me like this, X. You are the most interesting person I have ever met, how could I possibly hurt you?" Killer?"

Axiu raised his eyebrows in disbelief, staring at the sniper, rifle, and gun in the girl's hands, without saying a word.

Huang Ying said: "I can't help it. When I accepted the task, I never thought that the target person would be you, X."

The girl let go of the pistol first, and threw it on the corridor without heartache, took off her black leather gloves and stuffed it into the small backpack casually, making a friendly gesture.She continued: "Do you know Sen?"

"..." Hearing this familiar name, Ah Xiu was slightly stunned. Although he quickly regained his composure, the abnormality at that moment was still captured by the girl.

Axiu: "Who is he to you?"

Huang Ying was still smiling, and replied honestly: "He is my master, but unfortunately I haven't seen him for almost three months."

Ash was silent.For him, Sen had played a pivotal role in his previous life.

"It turns out that you are the apprentice Sen often mentioned." Axiu said slowly.He didn't suspect that the girl in front of him had deceived him, because only Ashura and Sen's apprentices knew the name Sen in the whole world.It's just that Ah Xiu didn't expect that Sen's apprentice was actually a girl with a childish face and a sweet face in front of him.

Huang Ying spread her hands: "Relax, X, Sen often mentions you, the best masterpiece in his life."

Ash: "..."

The girl skipped and passed Axiu, as if not worried that Axiu would attack him from behind.She waved her hand back and said, "I give up this mission, and I will fight you fairly."

"Be careful, X, you are a hot potato now."

Watching Huang Ying slowly leave the dark corridor step by step, Ah Xiu lowered his eyes and did not speak.It wasn't until the girl's petite figure disappeared in the corridor that he restrained his eyes and walked out of the semi-finished haunted house.The gunshots just now were too conspicuous. It is estimated that the police will be attracted in the near future. You must leave this place, or even this city, quickly.

While walking, Ah Xiu suddenly remembered what happened a long time ago.

Sen is equivalent to Axiu's adoptive father. When Axiu was very young, when the orphanage was submerged by a sudden fire, Sen picked up Axiu and brought him into this dark world.

As far as Ah Xiu is concerned, Sen has the grace to know him.

Thinking of this, Ah Xiu recalled the girl just now, Huang Ying, Sen's apprentice, a girl with a sweet and harmless appearance, a weak appearance, and a cold breath.

"I will fight you fairly."

The girl Huang Ying said this before leaving, and in her understated tone, Ah Xiu could hear the eagerness to fight.Does she regard me as an opponent?Axiu thought to himself, he saw the blood-stained bandage on his arm from the corner of his eye, and seemed to understand something.

Axiu left the Huangyue Scenic Area quickly, and after passing by the corpses on the square, he didn't turn his head, and put aside the pile of thoughts in his head with a blank expression.

This time, it passed without any risk.

When he received Alai's call, Axiu was on his way to Jingxi.At that time, the train was crowded with people, and the smell of sweat and tobacco filled the entire carriage, causing the passengers in the carriage to complain again and again.Ah Xiu didn't react much, he leaned against the car window and looked at the distant scenery.

"Axiu, I have good news for you." Alai's pleasantly loud voice came from the phone.

Ah Xiu lowered the volume: "Speak."

"Your commission has been cancelled! Be happy, it is said that it was canceled according to the rules because it failed several times in a row."

A Xiu raised his eyebrows: "I know."

In the world of assassins, there is an unwritten rule that nothing happens in a short period of time.I don't know how this rule was formed, but Ah Xiu only knows that he doesn't have to worry about being hunted down by assassins for the time being.

"But when the specified time passes, I don't know what will happen." Alella lowered her tone.

"Three months, right?"

"That's right. You really know that, you are indeed my partner."

Axiu didn't speak, and hung up the phone silently.

The train journey from Linyue to Jingxi takes less than five hours, which is neither far nor near.Some people may fall asleep to their destination in one night, or some people may even feel that time flies when they are talking to the people around them.

Before five o'clock in the morning, the train stopped in the west of Beijing.

Following the sweet voice on the radio, Ah Xiu got off the train and followed the sleepy crowd out of the station.As soon as I left the station, the fresh and natural air lingered in my nostrils, and immediately dispelled the foul smell in the station.

Axiu took a deep breath and took a taxi to a familiar place.

"I'm back." Ah Xiu sent Ke Rong a message.

Not long after, the phone vibrated.Axiu picked it up and looked at it, and a paragraph of text came into view.

"It's not hurt."

Ash: "..."

Ke Rong: "I'm in the room you booked at the International Hotel."

Axiu was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered the scene yesterday when he wanted to book that room, but was told that there were already guests.He typed a few words and sent them, then put down the phone.

"I'll go right now."

Suddenly, the radio on the taxi rang: "Reported at 20:6 on June 22, 5XX. From north to west, a car accident occurred on the section from Beifeng Road to Ximin Road, causing traffic jams. Please also The driver made a careful detour, thank you for your cooperation."

The driver was a middle-aged woman. She reached out and turned off the radio, and said in an apologetic tone without much sincerity: "I'm sorry, we may have to take a long detour. The location of the accident happened to be on the way to Jingxi International Hotel."

"It's okay." Ash replied blankly.

It seemed that he felt Axiu's reticence, and the driver didn't say much.
