Mu Li, who had been scolded, was not very angry. He just gave Ji Hanchen a flattering smile: "Boss, don't be angry..."
Ji Hanchen remained silent and left without looking back. Shengchi looked at the man's back and muttered: "What a strange person."
Mu Li looked at Lin Yuan and then at Ji Hanchen, hesitated for a moment and then chased after him.
——
In a small town on the border of China, a man with dyed brown hair, wearing a white old man's vest and leather jacket and leather trousers was walking aimlessly on the street. The man looked unruly and had a heroic face.
Even though he has a few scars, it doesn't affect his handsomeness.
In the afternoon, there were only a few tourists passing by on the streets of the town. The weather was getting colder. The man gathered his coat and stopped in front of a pub.
The cold wind chilled his whole body. He went in and took out a wad of bills from his wallet and slapped it on the table: "Give me a hot bowl of wine and order whatever you want."
Just as the boss was about to ask, the boss lowered his hat and found a corner by the window to sit down.
The layout of the tavern is small, it is a traditional Chinese tavern. The overall color is dark red, and the wooden carved door is antique. There is nothing related to modern mechanization, which is also a major feature of this place.
The mellow aroma of the brewed wine is an interpretation of what it means to be deeply woody, and even the air smells of fermented grain.
The boss here is a young man in his thirties. He is very good at calculating and even keeping accounts with calligraphy. He walked over with the extra money and said, "Sir, the money you gave me is a bit too much."
Xiao Chi, who was taking a nap, was disturbed from his dream. He opened his amber pupils. There was no trace of warmth in his eyes, and his tone was not good: "I give it to you."
The boss had no choice but to take back the hand that handed over the money angrily, then went to the kitchen and asked the landlady to give some good dishes to the table, and then brought out the most expensive wine to serve.
Xiao Chi, who had been disturbed by his sleep, was now a little awake. At this time, an old man with gray hair wearing a plain white robe came in and leaned on a dragon-head crutch. By chance, he sat opposite Xiao Chi.
The boss came up to him again: "Sir, what do you need?"
The old man looked at Xiao Chi: "With this one."
The boss retreated again: "Okay, you two, wait a moment."
After the boss left, Xiao Chi crossed one leg and put it on the other, leaning casually on the bench with a casual look on his face, with a slightly puzzled expression on his face: "Old man, who are you?"
The old man in front of me has a kind face and is dressed simply and decently, but he is not very polite.
"Old Yun'an Temple Weiyu."
The old man stroked his gray beard and said with a smile.
"Have not heard."
Xiao Chi changed his other leg and continued to cross it.
The old man was not upset, he just looked at the sky outside the door. Although his old face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were as bright as a newborn baby for a moment, which seemed a bit inconsistent.
Xiao Chi subconsciously followed his gaze, but saw nothing.
At this time, the boss brought a plate of pork head meat as an appetizer, and the old man picked up the chopsticks next to him and ate it first.
What a rude old thing!
Xiao Chi looked at him with an increasingly unhappy look: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
The old man swallowed the meat in his mouth and muttered with an incomprehensible expression, "The wine and meat of Zhumen stink, and there are frozen bones on the road——"
Xiao Chi was even more certain that this person was a lunatic who was cheating on food and drink, and was babbling.
"For the sake of the old man eating your food, I'll give this to you."
As he said that, the other party conjured an amulet out of nowhere and threw it to Xiao Chi. It was also embroidered with characters that Xiao Chi couldn't understand.
"This is?"
Xiao Chi looked at the things in his hands in confusion.
"Your second life."
"Haha! Are you kidding me?"
Xiao Chi looked at the inconspicuous gadget in his hand with contempt and disdain. Is this how to give him a second life?
In their business, they were all doing business with their lives tied to their belts. Sometimes it was hard to tell whether they would survive, but he would not be stupid enough to place his life on a useless thing.
"Don't underestimate it, it can save your life at a critical moment." The old man kindly reminded, "When I pass by here and see your hall turning black, it is a sign of a bloody disaster, so please be careful."
"Charlatans have a lot of tricks." Xiao Chi didn't take the old man's words to heart, "Tell me, how much does it cost?"
The old man stroked his beard and said seriously: "Monks don't talk about money. I have a fate with your donor, and I only need 880,000 yuan."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chi immediately threw the things back with a firm attitude: "Take it away and don't want it."
"Keep it, we will meet you when we are destined." The old man stood up and said, "It won't be too late for the donor to offer these 880,000 yuan in the future."
Xiao Chi almost laughed angrily. He picked up the amulet on the table and planned to return it directly to the other person's hand. However, when he looked up, he found that the person who was sitting across from him had disappeared.
"damn it!"
Xiao Chi was so angry that the things in his hands were about to be crushed, but he had to put them into his pockets.
He raised his head and took a sip of wine, then opened the file that had just been issued by the organization.
The killer list is updated every year, and the one currently ranked first on the killer list is still Ji Hanchen, the boss of the darknet organization.
Among the top ten killers, he is third, and Lin Yuan is seventh.
This list is divided according to the overall strength of the killers. Those who can be ranked in the top ten all have their own strengths. Although Lin Yuan joked that she is a RMB player, her strength should not be underestimated.
Lin Yuan did spend money to buy the list in the early days, but due to various major changes and internal strife in the underground organizations of Country M in the following years, the authenticity of this list has long been beyond doubt.
Moreover, Lin Yuan is the only female killer among the top ten killers. Her name was once resounding throughout the underground organizations in Southeast Asia.
After all, if a girl takes Sangbiao as her codename, it's hard not to be remembered.
At first, Lin Yuan fought with explosive power, clinging to the enemy without fear of death and seeking death. Later, she relied on her strong willpower and unexpected tricks to make the opponent flee.
Xiao Chi also suffered a loss at her hands back then. Thinking of the past, Xiao Chi poured a sip of wine down his throat.
The spicy and irritating wine flowed down his throat and into his stomach. The hot liquor made him feel burning pain in his stomach. He choked and coughed several times, and physiological tears almost flowed out.
At this time, the cell phone rang, and the organization issued a new task.
This time it is an S-level mission, with a bounty of up to two billion.
Xiao Chi doubted for a moment whether he was dazzled and saw wrongly. Then he counted the number behind the number two and found that it was indeed two billion.
Even their group was in a frenzy at this time, discussing this mission.
[Holy shit, more than 100 million? Did I see it wrong or am I blind? 】
[Nah, after all these years of being a killer, I’ve only seen S-level missions, and this is the first time I’ve seen S! 】
[I don’t even dare to open the file to see what the task is, I’m not worthy!]
After that, several A-level or B-level missions were sent out in the group, but only the S was still unanswered.
