Chapter 28 Revisiting the Hometown and Reuniting Part 3
The girl codenamed Sword Six just blinked her eyes and saw the violet-haired girl bringing her own large and small bags. It seemed to be the ability to move objects instantly, which is reminiscent of the guidance magic of empty attributes.
But in fact, Ling just moved back to the street at high speed, picked up her luggage, and then returned to her. But her movements were so fast that they almost flashed, and there was no afterimage.
After returning to the original place, Ling continued to speak.
"Let's talk about it. What does Uncle Rebellion want from me?"
All in all, the last time Ling met Po Jie was between the stars fourteen months ago, and the real meeting between the two had not happened for a longer period of time, and it was almost four years since the apostle.
Haven't seen him in years.
"It's like this. Among the Thirteen Workshops, the Black Workshop, which has been steadily supplying weapons to the organization, has not sent the weapons in the order to the organization's stronghold for a while. Therefore, Master Pokai hopes to urgently recruit executors to investigate the matter."
The Black Workshop, unlike the famous Doll Workshop, the goblin base in the Graybon Mountains has not been exposed. Among the apostles and executors of the Body-Eating Snake, only Ling and Wise know its specific address.
Man and his two men. Even the Sixth Pillar, the manager of the Thirteenth Workshop, did not know much about the specific situation of the Black Workshop.
"I heard you wanted to summon more than just me?" Ling asked.
"Yes. As long as the executors are available, they are within the scope of the request."
The Six of Swords took out the tactical force guide Enigma 2 and showed Ling the group message of breaking the precept and sending it to the candidate executors.
As for why the executor used a trial-produced force guide that the consortium had not even put on the market, it was of course the credit of Lehmann's Nimbus Workshop. Well, it was the same one that made the transfer device for the association.
"How did you know I was the Executor?"
As a secret society, the identities of most of the executors are still very secret, with the exception of No. 4 from Kalvard who often goes against Black Moon. Even the executor candidates and enhanced hunters within the association are not
Know most of the information about the executors.
The scale of the Gospel Project was not very large at the time. Except for Valut, Blubrand, and Luciola, who were blacklisted by the Kingdom of Liber for their attack on Grancel City, they actually directed it together with Wiseman.
Ling herself, who participated in the gospel plan, has not been exposed. Her identity as the executor has always been well kept secret, and she believes that Joshua and Estelle are not people who will leak information casually.
"Originally, I didn't know your identity, senior. It was the apostle who informed me of the information about you. I happen to be in charge of the Nordia State Intelligence Network, so when you visited the Lineforte Building today, I got
Got the news.”
This makes sense.
"Then another question. What happened with attacking me with that toy?"
If it's a cold shot in the back, that's another story, but if you're prepared, firearms have no effect on martial artists.
"That...that is..."
The girl's words became a little hesitant.
"Let me guess, maybe it's because I don't look strong at all, so I wonder if I've found the wrong person?"
"ah!"
There is no denying it. Ling is quite satisfied with the fact that she has been underestimated. Ever since she was able to perfectly control her aura, she has not been discovered by strangers, which can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"I don't care about shooting me."
Ling had no intention of pursuing the alternate's minor offense. After all, she was just a transmitter, so Ling didn't want to take this matter to heart.
After hearing her reply, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and her breathing became much calmer.
"Tell me the location of the meeting, and I will go see Uncle Breaker."
"The specific time and place arrangements have not been made yet. Please allow me to stay with you during this period. Once you leave my sight, I may never have the chance to see you again."
After hearing this, Ling showed a slightly troubled expression. She didn't mind being followed, but whether she could keep up was another matter.
"I don't care about the extravagant part. What's your name? I'm not talking about the codename Six of Swords, but your name."
"I'm Celia. I don't have a last name. I'm in the 98th phase of the training center. I just became a candidate for execution last year."
organize
The killer group in this dark world is rarely mentioned even by its real name.
She didn't know what happened before that. After continuously annexing many historical killer organizations in a black-and-white manner for ten years, she has become an existence that no one can ignore in the world of the continent of Samlia.
The organization is generally considered to be a group that handles assassinations, but maybe it has another purpose. But what its purpose is, Ceria, who is a tool at the bottom of the organization, doesn't know.
Like her, there are many tool people who have been affiliated with the organization since they were children. The organization "collects" children with impure backgrounds from all over the place and lets them receive combat training in training centers.
Although many of them "dropped out" midway because they could not withstand the harsh training, if they are lucky enough to survive, they will be given a code name and officially become the organization's tool-man executor candidates.
Seria was also one of them. She was forced to join the organization at the age of nine, and then left the training center at the age of thirteen last year.
The codenames of the candidate executors are named after the Minor Arcana cards of the Tarot, scepter, pentacle, holy grail, and sword. They will be assigned to different card colors according to different types of expertise. There are fourteen people in each branch.
But in fact, each group is not full.
When I was in the training center, I heard from the instructor who taught intelligence that high-level cadres of the organization and some people with special powers would be assigned to the Major Arcana cards. It is said that their combat effectiveness is far superior to that of the lower-level personnel. Some of them
He even has strength that even high-level guerrillas cannot match.
But in fact, after joining the work, she realized that the nicknames of high-level cadres and executors are almost not necessarily related to big names.
Seria didn't know the entire organization. The Thousand Ringbreakers issued tasks, and they, the tools, were responsible for executing them. As for the names of other cadres, they were basically quite unfamiliar.
In this way, I lived the life of a killer that I hated at first but gradually became numb to it, until today, I received this special mission.
Ceria will never forget that delicate childish face. In contrast to the cute appearance, the image of a cold executioner is burned deep in her memory.
Compared with the bloody smell that made people suffocate and vomit all over her body back then, she looks completely harmless now.
The reason why Seria survived may be because the other party's style of doing things was not to kill children.
The people who were killed by cyanosis in the town of Nemaha in northwestern Nadia state five years ago were not her parents, but the adults who kept their children in captivity, that is, the evil party who cultivated child labor. She was an orphan, a
The so-called abandoned baby type, so she didn't have a surname. And most of her companions at that time were also like this. The so-called underground plantations grew some plants that were prohibited by the laws of various countries in Samlia.
After the enchanting sea of flowers was burned away by the arc-shaped prominence of the force-guiding magic, they lost their livelihood and became street children, living a life worse than before. After that, they were picked up by the organization.
go back.
Five years later, apart from growing a little taller, that person's appearance has not changed much. But his temperament has become completely different.
"I rarely have contact with you, because Orpheus's final plan basically has nothing to do with your executor candidates. If you don't mind, tell me about your affairs. Just tell me what you know."
"Yes, the training center I stayed at is in the Erebonia Empire, and the base is in Kruchen State..."
It was obvious that he was a killer who had taken many lives, but that person didn't mind staying by his side if he didn't come in person.
Probably because he couldn't pose any threat to her. He was considered harmless in every sense of the word.
Ceria persuaded herself not to think too much about it because she was on a mission. In short, she stayed with her for the purpose of exchanging information.
