At around three o'clock in the morning, the darkest time of the night, Qiu Gongyue, who had failed in her mission, returned to a rental house.

Although she usually lives in Xu Cheng's home, there are many unknown small strongholds throughout Tokyo that can provide temporary rest and hiding.

Just like a cunning rabbit, it will dig multiple holes to confuse its enemies.

After returning to the rental house, Qiu Gongyue relaxed a little, then began to dig through the medical box and bandage her injured right hand.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious. The body strengthened by the breathing method has a strong recovery power, and it will be intact as before in less than half a month, without leaving any scars.

When bandaging, Qiu Gongyue's face remained as usual and her movements were neither hasty nor slow, but her mood was not as calm as she appeared.

The last time I was injured was when I assassinated a powerful ability user half a year ago. Injuries are normal.

But this time she was injured at the hands of a high school student and caused the mission to fail, but she felt unconvinced.

Thinking back now, that high school student was actually not that strong. He could easily see through and dodge attacks, and he suddenly transformed into an adult figure and had solid fighting skills.

Just like this, Qiu Gongyue has a hundred ways to kill him without getting hurt.

But she never expected that the other party could actually attack from his butt.

As a senior assassin, Qiu Gongyue had never seen such an outrageous attack method before. She was accidentally injured and defeated, which really made her feel aggrieved.

But it doesn't matter, after the annual meeting of the deceased is over, she will go back to the high school student to settle the score.

After the bandaging was finished, Qiu Gongyue stood up and was about to go into the room to change clothes, but suddenly, she noticed someone carved a mark on the ceiling of the room.

She instantly acted like a frightened animal, took out the throwing knife from her thigh, hid in a corner that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and looked around with vigilant eyes.

"Come out, there's no need to hide your head and show your tail."

She shouted loudly, but no one responded after waiting for a long time.

After confirming that no one was there, she carefully checked the entire stronghold inside and out, and soon found signs of intrusion.

This made Qiu Gongyue's face darken. Normally she would check it first when she returned to the stronghold, but today due to the mission failure and injury, her vigilance dropped.

A somewhat annoyed Qiu Gongyue returned to the room and looked up at the marks carved on the ceiling.

Two crossed sword blades, one eye on each side, give the deceased a mark for internal communication, and a line of numbers is engraved next to it, representing a nearby location.

Unless they are working together on a mission, the assassins of The Dead are almost all alone outside, with very little contact with each other.

Once seals are used to communicate with each other, there must be important things to discuss.

Qiu Gongyue was very dissatisfied that the killer who left a mark invaded her stronghold, but she still changed her clothes and set off to see what the other party was up to.

Half an hour later, she arrived at the location marked by the mark—the roof of an apartment building.

The night was still dark at this time, and the city below was twinkling with starry lights, while the sky in the distance was already slightly cooler, and dawn was approaching.

Qiu Gongyue had just arrived at the top of the building, and before she had time to look for the person who left the mark, she heard a voice on the empty roof.

"Isn't this a descendant of the Shameful Clan? It's been a long time since I last saw you."

This is a feminine voice full of charm. When it falls on the ears, it feels as comfortable as being gently tickled with a feather.

Just listening to the voice can outline the image of a mature, charming and sexy woman.

However, the other party's words made Qiu Gongyue's expression turn extremely cold in an instant, and her eyes were filled with strong murderous intent.

She suddenly looked in the direction of the sound, and a tall woman nearly 1.8 meters tall appeared in her field of vision.

This is an extremely sexy woman. Her appearance is gorgeous and coquettish, her figure has extremely exaggerated proportions, and every part of her body can arouse the purest desire in men.

However, in the eyes of fellow women, her beautiful body makes her equal to a slut.

Qiu Gongyue stared coldly at this woman who was not dealing with her: "Witch, do you want to die?"

Hoshizaki Yukina is also a killer whose codename is Witch.

Hearing Akimiya Yue's threat, Hoshizaki Yukina laughed, and her plump bust also trembled: "Oh, I'm so scared."

"I'm really scared."

The next moment, Hoshizaki Yukina's voice rang in Akimiya Yue's ears. She instantly crossed a distance of more than ten meters and appeared behind Akimiya Yue, putting a hand on her shoulder.

brush!

Qiu Gongyue swung her left hand back, and the sharp blade slashed out a fan-shaped ray of light, but it was all in vain.

"whee!"

Laughter came from afar, Hoshizaki Yukina returned to her original position, folded her hands on her chest, and shook her head: "Too slow, you are so weak, how many years and months will it take to wash away the shame of the clan?"

The killing intent in Qiu Gongyue's eyes became even stronger, but she did not rush over to take action, but put away her weapon.

Facing this woman who has awakened the rare ability among the deceased, not to mention it was difficult to deal with her in the first place, and now that her right hand is injured, she is even more disadvantaged.

Qiu Gongyue no longer allowed her anger and impulse to control herself. After forcing herself to calm down, she said indifferently: "Witch, if you sneak into my stronghold and leave a mark just to anger me, then you are just a big-hearted and brainless person.

Just a woman."

"Oh, your breasts don't seem to be much smaller than mine."

Hoshizaki Yukina was not irritated, but blinked at her: "Have your weapons been replaced by sharp teeth and a sharp mouth? You can't kill anyone with your mouth."

Qiu Gongyue maintained an indifferent expression. At this moment, she very much wished that she had the landlord's foul mouth that could irritate people to death, so that this slut could taste what a bad mouth attack is.

"Okay, Xuena, don't make Yue angry every time."

Another voice sounded, Qiu Gongyue turned around and saw a gentle and handsome young man walking out of the night.

He is probably in his early twenties, wears glasses on his face, looks gentle, but has a convincing leadership temperament.

Shinji Tsugumo ranks first among the younger generation of killers. He has a strong personality and is followed by many killers.

He is a leader of the younger generation in the Japanese branch of the Order of the Dead.

Of course Akimiya Yue knew Tsugumo Shinji, and when he saw him appear, the expression on his face did not change at all.

Tsugumo Shinji walked slowly to Akimiya Yue, smiled and said: "Long time no see, Yue."

Compared with Tsugumo Shinji's intimacy, Akimiya Yue behaved very coldly: "I don't remember when our relationship was good enough to call each other by names. I hope you can abide by the Assassin's Code."

Among the killers with one star rating or above, they all give themselves codenames, such as Akimiya Yue's Crescent Moon and Hoshizaki Yukina's Witch.

The Assassin's Code stipulates that assassins outside can only call each other by their titles and cannot call each other by their real names.

Faced with Akimiya Yue's indifference, Tsugumo Shinji just smiled helplessly: "Okay, Miss Xinyue, I haven't seen you for half a year, how have you been recently?"

He noticed Qiu Gongyue's bandaged right hand, and his smile slowly faded: "Who hurt you?"

Qiu Gongyue did not answer this question: "Why did you call me out specifically?"

Tsugumo Shinji smiled slightly: "I just came back from abroad and came to Tokyo specifically to see you."

"You've seen it now, goodbye."

Akimiya Yue turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Hoshizaki Yukina: "What's the hurry? Don't you want to hear what people have to say?"

"Xue Nai, don't embarrass Xinyue."

Tsugumo Shinji scolded Hoshizaki Yukina, and then turned to Akimiya Yue: "I came mainly to see you, but by the way, I also have something to discuss with you."

Qiu Gongyue turned around and looked at him: "What's the matter?"
