Airline flight 848-300 from Saint Malo to New Tokyo passed through the magnificent clouds.
The passenger plane slowly lowered its altitude like an eagle spotting its prey, and the flashing signal lights made it look like a shooting star streaking across the sky in the evening.
In the first class cabin, a tall man wearing a gray formal suit, with short flaxen hair, and inexplicably sharp blue eyes closed his laptop on his knees, sat by the porthole with his chin in his hand and yawned.
He glanced sideways at the gorgeous sunset outside the porthole, and the experienced brow that he had frowned slightly when he had just taken a nap could not help but relax.
The man seems to know very well that these seemingly beautiful sunsets are caused by the light of the setting sun being scattered by a large number of air molecules. The more red and gorgeous it is, the more water vapor and larger particles are in the atmosphere, and the sky is not very stable. .
A heavy rain is about to fall on this city.
He doesn't hate rain.
Because this can avoid a lot of trouble.
Especially when you have unreliable logistics - the man glanced at the dark-haired woman sitting next to him who had just ordered a glass of orange juice from the stewardess and was blowing bubbles into it.
The man's code name is "Dusk", he is a member of the Saint Malo Empire and a hunter of the [Dawn Scarlet] hunter organization.
In a team of three that carried out operations, he was responsible for collecting various intelligence on the target before the operation.
Over the years, Dusk has been well-known in the industry for his impeccable intelligence capabilities. He was recently promoted to a "six-star hunter" in [Dawn Scarlet].
Don't underestimate the "Six-Star Hunter".
This shows that this man has obtained accurate information for his companions who acted together without any mistakes in at least one hundred level 6 missions including level 6 and above.
It is worth mentioning that in the world of hunters, the so-called ability level does not matter.
The world of Jaeger is very realistic,
Everything is about completing the task.
Even if you are a person with absolute ability to control the field, if you fail repeatedly in missions or fail to meet the requirements of the Jaeger organization, you will still be an out-and-out rookie in the world of Jaegers.
The tall, pretty, dark-haired woman sitting next to him was codenamed "Wild Rose".
From the first time the two parties performed a mission together a few years ago, Huang Wan felt that the other party was an out-and-out "rookie" with a big heart and no brains.
But the two sides have been able to cooperate for so long.
Huang Wan didn't say anything, but he had to admit in his heart that this woman, who was often arrogant and a bit silly, had indeed never let him down in handling the aftermath.
Of course, this is also the reason why he can accept that the two parties have gradually become a regular partner in a few years.
As for the external conditions of a woman's appearance, figure, and good looks, I'm sorry, these are never within the scope of Huang Huang's consideration.
Just this mission
I remembered that the six-star old partner among the three who was actually responsible for carrying out the mission sent him a photo of a resort island in the South China Sea after completing the mission for the last time last month.
In the photo, the old hunter who is usually cold and ruthless when performing tasks is wearing beach pants with a sagging fat belly. He is holding a squirt gun and two little boys who look somewhat similar to him on the beach. The little girl happily chased the water...
Can you imagine how shocking that scene was?
Even to this day, every time I think about that scene in the evening, the corners of my eyes still can't stop twitching.
Under the photo, the old hunter who once said to him, "Everyone has to find his own world," left a very confident message, "He has found his own world, and the rest is left to them."
.
Even through the photo, you can feel the crazily raised corners of the other person's mouth.
this bastard
Gritting teeth for a while at dusk,
But a touch of sadness flashed through my heart.
He doesn't know when he will find his own world.
Or maybe this is his world.
Shaking his head, he thought about the emotions in his mind that were related to the mission. During the mission [Crimson of Dawn], they performed the hunter information for the latest partner they matched.
Code name: White Yaksha.
Responsibilities: Execution of Jaegers
Number of tasks executed: 0
Number of tasks completed: 0
Hunter star rating: None
Rating: None yet
Is he another ability user who is dazzled by the huge amount of money?
Huang Huang rubbed his brow a little irritably.
He has seen too many examples like this over the years. Those espers who were complacent after awakening their abilities were seduced by the huge amount of hunting money and plunged into the arms of the hunter organization. In the end, not even the bones and dregs were left.
You must know that awakening abilities and using abilities are two different things, and using abilities and how to use such abilities to kill targets and complete tasks are two different things.
Dusk closed his eyelids slightly, and his mind couldn't help but feel disgusted with the so-called "old and new" mission matching mechanism of the [Dawn of Scarlet] Jaeger organization to cultivate new blood.
Bringing in new people?
Take them to die?
At this time, a woman's slightly coquettish voice came to his ears.
"Huang, can you treat me to a meal tonight when you arrive in New Tokyo? I heard that the Kaiseki cuisine in Wano Country is super famous! I've already made a guide, haha."
After hearing the name "Ah Huang", Huang Huang's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
However, after the two of them had worked together for so many years, he had somewhat developed some immunity. His ears automatically filtered out this nonsensical title, and he said in an indifferent tone, "Strategy? Do you think we are here for a trip this time?"
Wild Rose, who was sipping orange juice through a straw, couldn't help being stunned when she heard this, scratched her head and said sheepishly, "Of course not."
"It's good to know."
"We should consider it as a trip at public expense."
"."
Huang Huang gave up the plan of correcting this stupid guy and took a breath and said, "This time our partner is a newcomer."
"Eh? The newcomers should all be young, right? I've been watching "New Tokyo Love Story" recently, and I'm actually very receptive to the "Near Year Love" Little Wolf Dog."
"Can you have anything else on your mind?"
"Ahuang, can't you accept love at the end of the year?"
"."
She is still useful.
It's not good to kill teammates.
Killing a woman is even worse.
At dusk, he silently recited the "Calming Mantra" and finally calmed down his aura, and then he said:
"Now that the hunter organization has been matched, we can only accept it. These are the mission targets that I have carefully selected. You should prepare in advance."...
Wild Rose's responsibility in the three-person team of the [Dawn Scarlet] Hunters organization is to deal with the aftermath. Of course, the "deal with the aftermath" here is not just asking for money from the employer.
In fact, after the hunter completes the mission, the evacuation cover, transportation, and corpse disposal all need to be handled by Wild Rose. Failure to do any of these tasks will affect her mission score.
In just a few years, Wild Rose has gone from being in the industry to becoming a "six-star hunter" on par with Dusk. This only shows that this woman with a charming personality is impeccable in her work. This is why Dusk can
The reason for enduring her out-of-the-box nerves.
At this time, after hearing Dusk's words, Wild Rose took out the mini tablet she carried while sipping orange juice. After waking up the screen, she quickly logged into a web chat provided by the official website of the [Dawn Scarlet] Hunter Organization.
group.
There are four people in the group, namely "Dusk", "Wild Rose", "Dawn Scarlet Liaison 9527", and "Shiro Yaksha" who just joined the group tonight and hasn't had time to change his avatar and adopt the default initial avatar.
”.
The profile is completely blank.
A rookie is a rookie
Don’t you know that your resume and profile are very important?
The personal information of the mission target uploaded at dusk was in the group file. After the download was completed, Wild Rose was a little surprised to find that the first mission target selected at dusk tonight was actually only level 5.
This meant that the target's ability level was only at Level 5 or below, and he couldn't help but feel surprised.
In her impression, Huang Huang is a rather arrogant guy.
Since completing a hundred level 6 missions in a row, he is now working hard to sprint towards the [Seven-Star Hunter] and will no longer take on missions below level 6.
So this time
Is it to take care of the newcomers?
There was a slight smile on the corners of Wild Rose's mouth as she drank the orange juice.
It seems that there is a saying that is right, no matter how cold a man is, there is always a warm place in his body.
But as her eyes fell on the mission target's information, the smile on the corner of Wild Rose's mouth gradually disappeared.
She, who was originally cute and nervous, gradually became a little scary at this moment.
At dusk, the corner of his eye swept over this scene, and the corners of his mouth could not help but tilt up slightly.
Have you finally gotten into the groove?
Shinjuku District, Kabukicho Ichiban Street, there is a hotel called "Gravity".
The moment a few foreign-looking men walked into the bar from the door, they attracted the attention of the surrounding drinkers.
After a brief hesitation, he seemed to be reminded of some recent rumors. There were several young people who looked like college students in the booth, whispering a few times and looking a little nervous.
One of the college students with semi-long hair stared at the young female bartender with light makeup behind the bar, seemingly wanting to walk up and give her a few words of warning.
But the few people who came in from the door happened to pass by them. The companion at the same table seemed to feel some unusual aura, so he quickly grabbed him and winked at him.
The young man with semi-long hair also came in from the door and passed by the people in front of them. He immediately smelled a cold and cruel aura that was different from normal people, and subconsciously felt frightened...
By the time he came to his senses, several foreign men had already passed by him and walked towards the bar in front of the young female bartender.
"What did you just want to do?"
Someone at the same table asked in a lowered voice.
The young man with semi-long hair was stunned for a moment and said uncertainly, "There seems to be something wrong with those guys. I'm afraid Xun is in danger."
The people at the table fell silent.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, someone coughed and said in relief, "Don't worry, maybe it's just our misunderstanding. There are quite a few foreigners on this street."
"But recently, I heard that foreigners have been committing murders in many places." The other person was stopped by his companion's eyes before he could finish his sentence.
This guy is so worried about his girlfriend. Aren't you going to pick up the pot that you don't want to drink?
"Do you have any signature wine?"
"What kind do you want, guest?"
"Let's have three cups of the most exciting one."
"."
After a while of skillful mixing, the young female bartender Yue Jiangxun brought three glasses of sky-blue [Blue Flame] in front of the three guests, and immediately wiped her hands on her skirt nervously behind the bar.
Yue Jiang Xun's nervousness is not unreasonable.
In the past two days, there have been horrific explosions and murders in many places in New Tokyo, and there are even rumors of women being assaulted by multiple people.
Yue Jiangxun's boyfriend from the same school advised her to take leave during this period and not come to work in the bar. However, Yue Jiangxun's family conditions were average. Her father committed suicide due to investment failure in his early years, and her mother was bedridden. She could only grit her teeth and endure more.
Do it for two days.
If she rashly asks for leave or is absent from work, the salary she pledged last month will be gone.
At this time, Yuejiang Xun looked nervously at the three foreigners outside the bar.
The one who seemed to be the leader among the three was thin, with a pointed chin that looked a bit obscene, and a pair of triangular eyes that had been staring straight at her since she walked into the bar.
Under the eyes of the other party, she was like an onion being peeled off layer by layer, naked in front of the other party. This chilling feeling immediately made Yuejiang Xun's arms covered with a layer of fine goosebumps.
Is it an illusion?
Yes. It must be an illusion.
This kind of sight should be familiar to her.
In the past, when she was working in a bar, some customers would stare at her lustfully when they were drunk, but that was just staring, they were just drunkards who were lustful but not courageous.
Yue Jiangxun comforted himself in his heart, took a deep breath, forced a smile on his face and said, "I'm sorry, guest. If you don't need anything else, I'll excuse you to go to the bathroom first."
After all, comfort is just comfort. The germ of terror has been born. Yuejiang Xun just wants to escape from here as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, a sinister voice suddenly came from her ears, "Why not here?"
For a moment,
Kaoru Yuejiang almost thought he heard wrongly.
But the man with triangular eyes still stared at her, gently sipped the "Blue Flame" in the cup, and praised, "Not bad, it is indeed a wine that can make people excited. You need to go to the bathroom for convenience.
? We wouldn’t mind if we were here, right?”…
While he was speaking, the two companions beside him looked at her up and down with a playful look.
At this moment, Yue Jiang Kaoru, who was looking directly at the dim light in the opponent's triangular eyes and could not raise his head, finally confirmed that these three foreigners were probably the terrorists he had seen on the news recently. His heart suddenly tightened slightly, and he subconsciously
He pressed the red alarm button under the bar.
Didi didi—!
A red alarm sounded in the bar.
Two tall security guards wearing black clothes and leather shoes at the door glanced over.
They were usually so aggressive now, but they hesitated for a moment, and then finally walked over.
Yuejiang Xun, who was extremely panicked, suddenly seemed to have seen a savior. She hurried to the sliding door of the bar and rushed out, far away from these three people who made her tremble.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the sliding door, the man with triangular eyes who was sipping his drink suddenly glanced sideways at the two tall bar security guards in the aisle, and said to Xun Yuejiang with a smile, "Do you want to see the real one?"
Blue Flame'?"
The voice fell,
He suddenly turned his head and spat out the "blue flames" in his mouth towards the two bartenders.
That's right, true blue flames.
The high-temperature scorching flames exploded with a bang, followed by miserable howls, and the two tall security guards instantly turned into a flaming man with arms and legs dancing around, struggling painfully on the ground.
Seeing this sudden scene, several young students not far away in the corridor suddenly stopped and stared at the scene in front of them with panic on their faces.
But the man with triangular eyes seemed to have noticed the young students behind him. He couldn't help but smile and said to Yue Jiangxun, whose fearful eyes reflected the firelight:
"Are those boys your friends? They should be your boyfriends, right? Let me guess who they are? The one with long hair in the middle? Or the tall one next to them."
"How about we just burn them together?"
The man with triangular eyes took a sip of wine. Yuejiang Xun came to his senses and begged quickly, "No! No! Please let them go!"
"Then. Now take off your clothes and climb over from above. I don't want to repeat the same thing a second time."
Yuejiang Xun suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his whole person was stunned on the spot!
I don’t know how long time has passed.
Clothes fell one by one.
A nearly naked girl with only her underwear left climbed onto the bar.
"Didn't I express myself clearly?" The man with triangular eyes raised his wine glass.
Yuejiang Xun suddenly trembled, and his trembling hands reached for the buttons on his back.
"That's enough! Kaoru!"
"You bastards!"
At this moment, a young man's roar suddenly came from the direction of the booth.
"Noisy!"
The man with triangular eyes shook his head, and the man next to him raised his hand. The roaring boy was instantly sucked in uncontrollably and fell to the ground with a thud.
The triangular-eyed man muttered to himself, "Boss and the others went to the Sky Tree in the afternoon. We can only have fun on our own during these boring days."
The next moment, he poured all the remaining wine on the head of the half-long-haired student-looking boy.
Feeling the coolness on his forehead, the boy who had just become angry suddenly realized his fear - the man with triangular eyes in front of him had just burned two strong men to death in the blink of an eye, and there was still a smell of burnt lake in the air.
"No, don't!"
Young men and women alike felt hopeless.
"I gave you a chance!"
The man with triangular eyes sighed softly, pulled the girl Chi Guo on the bar and pressed her up.
At the same time, he snapped his fingers, and a blue flame suddenly appeared on the man's head. The terrifying scorching heat immediately made him howl miserably.
In the intense blue firelight.
Two more men pressed towards the girl.
For a moment, the endless howls and painful moans turned into a scene of purgatory on earth.
Edogawa Ward, Aragaki Apartment.
Higashinohara looked at the discussion group on the screen of his mobile phone. After registering and reviewing in the morning, he quickly applied for a matching task. Unexpectedly, he was matched with the task and companions at noon.
"Twilight and briars?"
Higashinohara chewed on these two code names, and then his eyes fell on the information uploaded to the group file at dusk.
He looked at it carefully, but his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
Level 5 mission target: In just three days after entering Wano, he committed more than a dozen rapes in public places, set fires, and caused major casualties.
The captain of the "Saraman Snake" pirate group in the West Sea.
