Chapter 8: The Temptation of Qiu Gongyue

Qiu Gongyue stared at Xu Cheng's disappearing back with cold eyes.

The thought of silencing kept swirling in her mind.

According to the Assassin's Code, once your identity is exposed, all those who know the information must be silenced. Otherwise, it is very easy to leave hidden dangers, and even the organization will no longer trust you.

But recalling Xu Cheng's behavior in the past six months, Qiu Gongyue was a little uncertain.

If it were any other killer in the organization, they would strike without hesitation as long as they had the slightest suspicion.

But Qiu Gongyue was unwilling to kill an irrelevant person without evidence, and she didn't want to lose this stronghold in her heart.

She had lived alone before, and also lived in shared apartments with other people, but her excessive beauty always caused a lot of unnecessary trouble and harassment. She had been stalked by crazy people and had neighbors knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

Only with Xu Cheng can she live in peace for the first half of the year, because the landlord is an honest person and will never disturb her.

"Let's try it again when we get a chance."

Qiu Gongyue suppressed the urge to silence her, turned around and went back to her room, rearranged the trap behind the door, and her eyes fell on the express delivery in her hand.

She lives here and doesn't even know about the organization. The only person who knows is her friend, Rika Ito, who is also a killer.

The two have been trained together since they were young, and they have a sisterly affection. They have a relationship where they can trust each other with life and death.

When communicating on social software before, Akimiya Yue told Ito Rika her current address.

Only Rika Ito knows that she is a killer and knows her current address.

But Lixiang said before that she was going to carry out a secret mission, so why would she send a courier?

With doubts, Qiu Gongyue placed the courier on the ground, then took out a gas mask from her luggage and put it on. She also held the table in her hand as a shield. Finally, she held a slender knife and carefully cut open the courier.

As a killer, caution is a basic skill. Sending couriers containing highly poisonous substances or explosives under false names is a very common assassination method.

If it were not confirmed that the weight of this express was very light, Qiu Gongyue would definitely not have opened it in the room, and would have found an open terrain where she could avoid the explosion.

With a slight sound, the express delivery was easily cut open by the sharp blade.

Use the tip of a knife to open the carton, and there lies a withered flower inside.

"flower?"

Qiu Gongyue frowned slightly, not knowing why.

She and Ito Rika are sisters, bad friends and besties, but they are not female, and they will not send flowers to each other.

After confirming that the dried flower was not poisonous, Qiu Gongyue picked it up and examined it carefully. She quickly recognized that the flower was a violet.

She took out her mobile phone and wanted to send a message to Ito Rika, asking what it meant to send her a dry flower. Could it be a hint that our relationship has withered?

The finger stopped just as it touched the screen.

She suddenly realized that if something happened to Ito Rika, she could communicate with her through the Internet, and there was no need to use the troublesome method of sending express delivery.

Since this is done, it means that direct communication may be risky.

Akimiya Tsuki didn't send a message, but directly called Ito Rika's personal mobile phone. As a result, it was shut down - when performing secret missions, the killer's personal mobile phone will continue to be shut down.

Akimiya Yue had a vague premonition in her heart, but she didn't know where Rika Ito was and couldn't do anything.

She had no choice but to carefully preserve the withered violet and wait until she got back to the organization to find a chance to inquire about it.



Although he got the golden finger, Xu Cheng resolutely decided to get rid of the previous waste state of just eating and waiting to die, and formulated a physical exercise plan for himself - 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and bar raises.

100 times, 10 kilometers long run every day.

Although you can increase your life by using mission points, if you increase your life through exercise, doesn't that mean you have spent 1 mission point in vain?

After making an ambitious plan, Xu Cheng immediately devoted himself to exercise and spent ten minutes doing thirty push-ups.

Then he lay on the bed panting like a dead dog.

I haven't exercised for too long, and all of a sudden I'm on full fire. I just moved a few times and then it went soft.

"Is this the only extent of my perseverance?"

A flash of determination flashed in Xu Cheng's eyes, and he endured the pain in his hands and feet and got down from the bed.

Sometimes in life, if you don’t try hard, why do you think you can’t do it?

He did a few more push-ups and then lay motionless on the ground.

After trying hard, it turned out that it still couldn't be done.

"Forget it, let's do it step by step, don't challenge it with such high difficulty right from the beginning."

Xu Cheng can only modify his exercise plan. First, he will exercise habitually for a period of time, and then slowly increase the frequency. He still has more than ten years to live, so there is no need to worry.

At noon, a tired-looking Xu Cheng came out of the room, got into the kitchen, made himself a simple lunch with the remaining ingredients, and put it on the coffee table in the living room to eat.

While he was eating and playing with his mobile phone, he suddenly heard the door open and Qiu Gongyue walked out of his room.

Just when Xu Cheng thought she was about to go out again, he saw her walking slowly to the living room, then sat down opposite Xu Cheng, and took out a thick classic book from behind, looking elegant.

Xu Cheng bit off the noodles in his mouth and asked doubtfully: "Are you okay?"

She usually either goes out or stays in her room, but this is the first time she came to the living room.

Qiu Gongyue's eyes did not leave the page, but her cold tone sounded: "No."

Xu Cheng's hot face pressed against his cold butt, and he was not interested in asking, and continued to eat noodles with his head down.

The living room became quiet, with only the sound of eating noodles and the occasional turning of book pages.

But Xu Cheng felt very uneasy inside, his scalp was itching, and he always felt like there was a scrutinizing gaze looking at him from the other side.

Moreover, I was still playing with my mobile phone while eating, while the person opposite me was reading a classic. This style was suddenly brought down.

Gan, you are a technician, why do you come to me and pretend to be a literary girl?

Xu Cheng finally couldn't stand the peeping eyes and raised his head suddenly, only to find Qiu Gongyue's eyes were lowered, and her beautiful and slender eyelashes covered her eyes.

Her posture is elegant and her expression is focused and serious, as if she is really reading without self-consciousness. This scene is full of literary flavor.

Xu Cheng's gaze seemed to disturb Qiu Gongyue. She raised her head slightly and said in a clear and clear voice, "Is something wrong?"

Xu Cheng subconsciously said: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Qiu Gongyue shook her head. She never eats other people's food.

Xu Cheng was just polite, cleaned the remaining noodles in the bowl, stood up and walked to the kitchen with the bowl in his arms.

Qiu Gongyue stared at Xu Cheng's back. The reason why she walked out of the room was to test Xu Cheng.

She reached out and took out a small apple from the fruit plate on the coffee table. The apple had been stored for too long, the skin was wrinkled, and there were a few small mold spots.

Xu Cheng had already reached the kitchen door, and Qiu Gongyue threw the apple at him.
