Volume 1: Storm in the Western Region Chapter 119: The Worst Person
Qingshanke's room is much more comfortable than that in Chunhua Building.
The most important thing is that there are windows in the house.
The wide windows occupy almost the entire wall upstairs, and are all polished with crystal, providing excellent transparency.
After returning from Chunhua Building, Zhao Rang went straight upstairs and had a solid sleep. He didn't take off his clothes, not even his boots. Sleeping like this usually makes him more tired as he sleeps, but Zhao Rang felt extremely tired.
It was so comfortable, I didn’t even have a dream.
At this moment, he propped himself up, leaning on the head of the bed, looking outside through the huge crystal window.
There were no lights in the house, so the lights outside were particularly noticeable.
The layout of Shanye King's City is almost square, so Zhao Rang, a road idiot, can figure out the direction.
He consciously looked in the direction of the dark street and found that it was indeed the place with the brightest lights. But he didn't know what time it was now and how long it would be before dawn.
The black sky can cover many things that cannot be seen in the light, and some people even feel excited when it gets dark.
Zhao Rang has no special preference between day and night, but his eyes and ears are much better at night than during the day.
For example, before he fully woke up, he found someone in his house.
It's not anyone he knows, nor is it the girl from the Western Region who has been following Haidiya.
This person had no ability to hide his aura, and he had not moved since he entered the house.
Zhao Rang looked out the window, but his mind kept sensing the stranger downstairs.
It is easy to understand that he does not cover his breath. It proves that this person is very confident.
No matter what matter he came to Zhao Rang for, he felt that he would be able to accomplish it without having to be secretive, so he was so straightforward.
But what Zhao Rang couldn't figure out was that this person's aura suddenly appeared.
Just like an object, if you want to change places, you must have a track to follow. If a person wants to go somewhere else, whether walking or riding a horse, he must pass by. It is impossible to have a thought and be there the next moment!
But this person is like that.
Extremely unreasonable.
Even Yuan Mingkong, who had practiced the breath gathering technique, could not completely escape Zhao Rang's perception.
It was precisely because he didn't think clearly about this issue that Zhao Rang didn't respond for a long time.
It's better to wait than when you don't know what to do.
Sometimes it is a good way to wait and see what happens, and you can also exercise your patience at the same time.
This wait took a long time.
It took so long that Zhao Rang felt like he was about to fall asleep again.
He had no choice but to get up and tell the people downstairs that he was awake.
Zhao Rang was not worried about what this person would do because of this.
Because when a person is asleep, just like when it is dark, it is the most convenient time for people who want to do something.
This man made no movement while he was sleeping, presumably waiting for him to wake up.
Since Zhao Rang is awake now, it is better to wait for Zhao Rang to come down from upstairs.
Anyway, I have been waiting for such a long time before, so it won’t be short of this.
If you are too anxious, you will appear to be undervalued.
So Zhao Rang was ready to wait a little longer.
He wanted to take a bath, a cold shower, so that he could wake up as quickly as possible. Not only mentally, but also physically.
Men tend to take showers very quickly, and even if they deliberately delay, it won't take them long.
When Zhao Rang came out of the bathtub, he felt that his spirit and body had been completely invigorated. Now it was no problem for him to climb ten pine and peach mountains in one breath.
Because Songtao Mountain is indeed not difficult to walk, Heidiye is right.
After getting dressed again, Zhao Rang lit the candlestick in the bedroom.
Out of curiosity, the stranger below also moved, and he also lit the lights downstairs.
The upstairs and downstairs lights up at the same time, which saves Zhao Rang trouble.
He thought he would have to carry the candlestick down.
The candlestick is very heavy, and the base is made of lapis lazuli. If Zhao Rang is holding it, he has to occupy one hand. And his other hand has to hold the knife. Although they have little influence on each other, they still have to hold it.
It will be a bit restrictive. If something happens that Zhao Rang least wants to happen, it will become a burden.
Now that the man has also lit the lamp, Zhao Rang does not have any burden and can just hold the knife and go downstairs.
Walking down the stairs step by step, Zhao Rang saw the figure of the man.
To be precise, it was a back view, because the man had his back to the direction of the stairs, standing with his hands behind his hands, facing a bare wall, not knowing what he was looking at.
It wasn't until Zhao Rang completely entered the hall that the man's shoulders shook slightly and then turned around.
He has a Chinese character face, a very short chin, and very short hair. Especially the sideburns, which are almost shaved off, revealing a bluish-white scalp.
The Chinese character face usually gives people a sense of righteousness, but coupled with this weird hairstyle, Zhao Rang really can't associate him with the word "righteousness".
Fortunately, this face looks like Dawei's, which means there is no obstacle to talking between the two.
Zhao Rang believed that since this man had been waiting for him for so long, he must have something to say to him. Otherwise, he could just do whatever he wanted to do, and there was no need to kill time.
During this trip, especially after arriving at Chagan Tologai, Zhao Rang discovered that the Western Regions really do not support idlers!
Everyone has something to do, and the direction and goals are extremely clear.
It may also be that everyone who came to him was like this, which created an illusion for Zhao Rang.
"You really deserve to die!"
This was the first thing the man with the Chinese character face said to Zhao Rang after he turned around.
"Knew it!"
Zhao Rang sat down with a smile.
The man with the Chinese character frowned and asked in confusion:
"What's true?"
"Sure enough, you have something to say to me."
Zhao Rang said.
"I thought you meant you deserved to die!"
The Chinese-character face frowned and he sat opposite Zhao Rang.
Zhao Rang turned to look at the wall where the Chinese character face was facing.
Now the lights were brightly lit, but the walls were still bare with nothing. Zhao Rang couldn't help but wonder what he was looking at just now, and he could look at it for so long and so absorbedly.
But he didn't ask because he wanted to hear Guo Zilian speak.
"Of course I know I deserve to die."
Zhao Rang looked back and said.
The Chinese-character face raised the corners of his mouth and asked:
"But you are not dead yet, which means you are very capable!"
This sentence can be heard from both ends.
One side means that Zhao Rang is very lucky, which is ironic. The other side means that Zhao Rang is really capable, which is a compliment.
But no matter who it is, it sounds good to Zhao Rang. Because luck is also a kind of ability. If you can have superhuman luck, who can say that this is not ability?
So Zhao Rang said thank you sincerely.
The corners of the Chinese-character face that had just been raised immediately tightened, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence from between the teeth:
"You are really capable..."
But then the conversation changed:
"To be honest, I'm here to kill you!"
This answer was somewhat beyond Zhao Rang's expectation.
He thought about many reasons why this person came, and also thought about why he came to kill him, but he was least sure about this one.
Because although the Chinese character face has the patience of a killer, it does not have the silence of a killer.
A competent killer must not talk too much.
As long as a person opens his mouth, his energy will be occupied. And it is better to use the energy to plan and think. After all, the killer cannot guarantee success every time. The more mental planning, the more likely it is to escape unscathed.
"Anyway, you didn't invite me to drink."
Zhao Rang said humorously.
It's a pity that he didn't make him laugh.
Zhao Rang felt a little embarrassed... He quickly wanted to make amends, but was overtaken by the Chinese-character face and said:
"I drank a lot before I came to kill you."
"Then why don't you smell like alcohol at all?"
Zhao Rang asked.
Guozixian explained:
"Because it was three days ago before I said it."
Zhao Rang suddenly laughed.
He found that compared to his Chinese character face, his humor was like a firefly or a bright moon.
The bright moon is in the sky, and the silver light is thousands of miles away. Where can I still see the brilliance of fireflies?
"As you can see, I am a killer. Three days ago, someone came to my place and placed an order to kill you."
"That person was very generous with his offer. I always judge the target based on the amount of money."
Zhao Rang asked with interest:
"How do you judge me?"
Guozi said with a serious face:
"As I said just now, you really deserve to die!"
Zhao Rang asked in shock:
"Is this judgment?"
The Chinese character nodded and admitted:
"This is."
Zhao Rang didn't know the standard of his judgment, so he didn't know whether it meant worthless or valuable.
But he didn’t need to ask, Guozilian explained himself:
"I have never seen such a valuable human life. If someone is willing to spend so much money to buy a human life, it proves that this person really deserves to die!"
Zhao Rang couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.
Although the Chinese-character face opposite him was a killer who came to take his own life, for some reason, Zhao Rang found talking and doing things extremely interesting.
Doesn’t it mean that people whose life costs far exceed that of ordinary people deserve to die?
At first glance, these words are very annoying, but if you think about it carefully, you are completely praising yourself!
Now that Zhao Rang has figured out this man's identity and purpose, the next step is to figure out why he sat there for several hours without taking action.
But before that, Zhao Rang was still a little uneasy.
The killer has many tricks up his sleeve.
Some killers obviously have knives in their hands, but they kill people by poisoning them.
Just like the Chinese character face in front of me.
Maybe he sat there for a long time and now had a lively chat with Zhao Rang for this purpose.
After all, there is no right or wrong in the killer's mind. As long as the person who placed the order can afford the money corresponding to the life, then this person deserves to die.
Zhao Rang placed the black steel knife in his hand across his leg, with the blade facing outward and the back of the knife facing in.
In a sitting position, you can place the knife like this to block, to chop horizontally, and to chop your feet downwards, so you can move flexibly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Rang got into his stance, he suddenly stood up, put his hands on his waist, and began to pull out the belt's flap from the buttonhole with great effort.
