Chapter 401: Small matters of life and death, fear of hurting one's temper
If you want to become a qualified killer, you need many prerequisites. For example, being proficient in driving, familiar with long and short firearms, and good melee combat ability, etc. These are all indispensable basic skills, but in addition, in fact,
What is more needed are some inner qualities.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, it’s not some abnormal and anti-human abnormal psychology, nor is it some fancy mental illness, it’s just some commonplace things, calmness, calmness, decisiveness... and caution.
I don't know what other colleagues think of this point of view. Anyway, in the Tang Dynasty's view, the killer is sometimes like a kite. Once he lets go and enters the sky, the rest is beyond his control. Perhaps he can only control the silk thread named 'caution'
, just now there is a possibility of landing safely... This is also an important creed that most old-school killers implement throughout their careers!
In fact, judging from the time he has been in the industry, including his past and present lives, Tang Chao does not belong to the ranks of old-school killers. It is just that he has been around for a longer time and has suffered more losses. Over time, he has developed many good habits.
Take the shelter as an example. In the previous life, the Tang Dynasty prepared more than a dozen in Europe and the United States, and they were everywhere. They were found in many famous cities, and some had more than one place. The kidnapping rental house used in Los Angeles was one of them.
.
Of course, the approach of the Tang Dynasty in this generation was not that exaggerated. The scope of activities was not large and it was not needed. They only hid back-ends at the boundary of Lingjiang to place firearms and other sensitive items that could not be shown to others, so they were prepared.
The above is a formal safe house, equipped with all kinds of warning equipment, traps and even self-destruction means. The defense level is quite high. It is no exaggeration to say that unless unconventional means are used, it will definitely not be easy for a few teams of armed forces.
Possibility of capturing it.
In addition, there are temporary places to stay, which are usually regular places randomly chosen during the move, such as hotels and hotels.
This is not so particular, because you don’t stay long, and it is common to change several places in a short period of time, so you don’t need to worry too much. Unless you are an old-school killer with cautious habits engraved on your bones, you are patient enough and take the trouble to do all kinds of things.
Arrangement and disassembly, otherwise there is usually no redundant arrangement...
At present, the Tang Dynasty has made some arrangements for this mid-range hotel. This includes security measures inside and outside the doors and windows, as well as monitoring equipment for intruding into the hotel. This latter point is really easy for the Tang Dynasty. There is a difference of more than ten years.
The network technology is here, just a few keystrokes and you can do it easily.
Nowadays, the warning devices at the doors and windows are intact, but the secret door left behind during the intrusion into the hotel surveillance system has been triggered and displayed on the laptop screen.
"Let me see what you, this mouse, want to do..." Muttering to himself, Tang Chao sat back at the table with an expressionless expression, and tapped on the keyboard to activate the secret door left behind.
It's not an exaggeration to say it's a mouse, because the technical level of the two sides is not at the same level at all. The Tang Dynasty can detect the other party afterwards, but the other party cannot detect the existence of the Tang Dynasty beforehand. On the contrary, it still leaves many traces. Even these
The other party thought they had cleaned up the traces.
"Oh, I'm quite cautious. I actually disconnected it directly... However, I didn't download the video recording, but directly controlled the monitoring equipment remotely... Oh, then you were exposed..."
The monitoring scope of hotels is not comprehensive. This is also a common phenomenon in the West, especially in Europe. Because of the so-called human rights and privacy, and also because of the conservative psychology of Europeans, they are always vaguely repulsive to some modern technologies. Take this hotel now.
For example, only the front lobby, elevators and several floor corridors have probes, and the entire monitoring interface cannot be arranged in a nine-square grid.
But this was a good thing for Tang Dynasty. The workload was much less, and he found what he wanted to see after a while.
Just a few minutes ago, those probes that had probably been stationary all year round had followed him slightly from the moment he stepped into the hotel door, and had been slightly adjusting their angles to the front desk, the lobby, then to the elevator, and finally to the corridor... except in the elevator.
That probe did not move because it was not needed. All the other probes had traces of movement and were shown on the surveillance screen one by one.
"Are you really here for me?"
Seeing this, even though he was mentally prepared, Tang Chao couldn't help but be stunned and frowned slightly.
The reaction of the Pacino family should not be so fast, and to say the least, even if they learn of his whereabouts by chance, it will take time to mobilize manpower. Not to mention that both sides have just fought a bloody battle and are both in the stage of licking their wounds...
…If it’s not a member of the Pacino family, who could it be? Could it be that flash of light when rescuing people in the afternoon...
After pondering for a long time, Tang Chao still couldn't think of a reason. There was too little information to analyze, so he simply shook his head and didn't think about it. He closed his notebook and walked to the bathroom again.
※※※
At night, on the back street of the hotel, a car parked at the entrance of the alley suddenly heard a slight beep.
Immediately, there was a soft click, and the driver's seat adjusted and bounced up. He sat up tall and straight, holding his neck with one hand and twisting. With the other hand, he opened the laptop placed in the passenger seat, lit up the screen, and there were several words on it.
The monitoring interface was completely dark.
It is normal to turn off the monitoring signal and wait for a long time before taking action.
Glancing at the time in the lower right corner of the screen, it was three o'clock in the morning. "I'm a little impatient. Are you coming to the door now..." Needless to say, these are our Tang Dynasty children's shoes. Yes, he is not staying in the hotel.
, after taking a shower, I tidied up and slipped out.
The main reason for doing this is that the injury is not healed, so you need to be cautious.
Of course, from the fact that the car was parked in the back street of the hotel instead of changing places or driving directly out of the city, it can be seen that Tang Chao still has some other ideas or tempers. This is the fact. If there is a large force of the Pacino family later,
Forget it, but if there are other cats and dogs, he doesn't mind killing them back to let them know the consequences of disturbing people's dreams at night!
He silently estimated the time in his mind, and after about thirty seconds, he raised his hand to type on the keyboard, and a monitoring interface lit up. The screen was exactly the corridor monitoring of the floor where Tang Chao lived.
"Let me see your true face as a mouse..."
The laptop screen emitted a faint light, illuminating the outline of Tang Chao's expressionless facial features in an eerie and unclear manner. Especially against the backdrop of the pistol that was slowly adjusting the silencer in his hand, the entire closed carriage suddenly became terrifying.
A few minutes later, there was no movement on the corridor surveillance screen. Tang Chao continued to wait patiently, but he could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly, showing a bit of surprise.
If he guessed correctly, the other party should have entered his room by now. Judging from the surveillance screen, he entered either through the front door or through the outer window. But so far, the warning device he placed on the window sill has not been triggered.
Has it been cracked? Ha, there are some tricks...
Thinking like this, he suddenly squinted his eyes. In the surveillance screen, the door opened, and a figure in a black windbreaker walked out of the door. He looked around, then closed the door with his backhand... Woman?
Tang Chao couldn't help being startled when he saw this, and subconsciously moved closer to the screen. His facial features could not be clearly seen, not because of the poor quality of the picture, but because the other person was wearing a rather fashionable wide-brimmed hat, but this obviously could not hide his curvy figure, and
Those slender legs are breathtaking even through the screen.
This denim outfit... looks a bit familiar.
After coming back to his senses, Tang Chao tilted his head thoughtfully and thought about it. He remembered that he seemed to have seen him at the statue of Xiao Lian in the afternoon. He was not sure, but he had the impression that he was indeed the one who rescued people... Damn
, as promised, good people will be rewarded?!
With slander and resentment, Tang Chao curled his lips and finally sorted out the whole story.
There is no doubt that this woman is a colleague, or a local colleague if I guessed correctly. It must be a pure coincidence that I bumped into him in the afternoon. Otherwise, there is no reason why he couldn't have noticed it if he had been keeping a close eye on him. Of course, if you just noticed his unusual movements, it would be nothing.
.Professional killers are not that curious. In other words, the only thing that can make the killer take action is the bounty. The previous mission issued by the Pacino family in France...
Dry!
I have to say that after figuring out the cause and effect, Tang Chao became even more depressed. Isn't this just bad luck?
"Huh..." He exhaled the turbid air in his chest, put the gun in his arms, and waited to open the car door. Again, no matter what, the matter must be resolved when it comes out. The other party has made it clear that this person will not be killed.
New Year?
At this time, on the laptop screen, the female killer was walking along the corridor towards the safe passage. When she was almost at the end, she suddenly paused and looked up diagonally upward, where the floor surveillance was located. She seemed to have discovered something.
This is not surprising. The normal working surveillance probe is different from the one after it is turned off. What’s more, the hotel is still equipped with old-fashioned surveillance cameras. The red dots in the probe are very obvious. I guess I didn’t notice it just now because I was preoccupied and didn’t pay attention. After all, she was already there when she came in.
I turned off the surveillance camera, and now I can easily see it if I walk up to it and take a quick look.
"Huh?" What paused was not only the long legs of the female killer, but also Tang Chao's palm resting on the car door. He looked at the cold and delicate face under the brim of the fashionable hat in the surveillance screen and blinked.
He blinked again, "Damn..."
As soon as he finished speaking, as if he heard it, the female killer on the screen raised her arm, opened her palm towards the surveillance camera, turned her back to her, curled up her four fingers, and gave a straight middle finger in response!
Immediately, with a flick of his wrist, the surveillance screen only captured a faint glimmer of light, which flashed away before falling into darkness again.
It cannot be restored this time, it is physically destroyed.
"Humph, if it weren't for the fact that you are a womanizer..." He retracted his palms and placed them on the gears naturally. Tang Chao hummed expressionlessly, and after silently reciting a few times, a good man will not fight with a woman, he was waiting.
Start the car, think for a moment, move to the passenger seat near the alleyway wall, open the door and get out.
First, he turned his head and looked deep into the alleyway, but there was no movement. Then he walked slowly to the entrance of the alleyway. As if he was on guard against something, he slightly leaned out half of his body, retracted, and leaned out again. He repeated this several times, and finally stood quietly at the corner.
In the shadows, he squinted at the high-rise buildings around the hotel, especially in the direction facing the window of his room.
After observing for about five minutes, I decisively turned around and walked back to the car, started it, slid out of the alleyway, accelerated, and without looking back, sped towards the nearest direction outside the city.
…
Well, don’t think too much about it, I just suddenly felt that killing people is actually meaningless, not to mention that everyone knows each other, right? There is really no need to use a knife or a gun. Life and death are trivial matters, the main reason is that I am afraid of hurting the harmony...
Ahem, yes, Tang Dynasty knew this female killer.
Her name is Jane, which is also her code name. She is a Belgian, a top-notch assassin in the European and American underground world, and is proficient in stealth, cold weapons and various melee killing techniques.
As mentioned before, there are not many female killers in the underground world, and most of their proficient skills are not in the field of frontal combat. After all, most of the tasks in this industry are men, mature men, and female killers have a natural advantage in this aspect.
, this is not discriminatory or implying anything, just from the perspective of killing, they have many safer and more secure killing methods to choose from. There is no need to use short attacks to attack long in terms of physique. On the contrary, they can use their gender advantages to exploit their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
It is the most suitable way of survival for a female killer.
But Jane is an anomaly. She is born with strength that is not inferior to that of men, and her knowledge in the field of close combat is even more profound. As for how deep it is, let’s put it this way, let’s not compare it with the Tang Dynasty. Without using firearms, in the previous life
The second-rate skills of the Tang Dynasty were nothing in front of Jane... She once faced off against Hitomi Hitoshi and was undefeated.
Of course, the two sides were not fighting to the death, but a peaceful discussion to the point. The location was an underground boxing gym. Tang Chao was also present at the time, and he even made some noises before the competition started. I won’t go into details about the specific process, but I can think of it.
Yes, Jinjin Jinji's pervert must have let the water go. But the Tang Dynasty still can't forget that Jian used a high whip to whip his legs. Yes, just those slender legs, and blasted a hanging sandbag and sponge leather on the spot.
Flying all over the sky, the explosion scene is spectacular!
This is a monster, a humanoid self-propelled female tyrannosaurus!
What's even more terrifying is that she also has a same-sex partner named Joan, who is also a top killer in the European and American underground world. He is good at all kinds of firearms, especially in long-range sniping. He has an innate talent.
It should be noted that there is no strict and clear classification of strength levels in the underground world, including the list of the world's top 100 killers ranked by Fatty Morocco, which values more than just pure force. Therefore, Jane and Joan were not included in the previous life.
Some good people have analyzed that the reason is because the sisters are very partial to science and have failed to push their respective areas of expertise to the extreme, so they were not included in the list. If the top 100 list considers combinations, or the two can truly combine, then
Went in properly.
Unfortunately, only one person is ranked on the top 100 list. Therefore, the two of them never succeeded in making the list.
But even so, no one will doubt the hard power of these sisters. You can know that one is long-range and the other is close combat... Ahem, in short, they make up for each other and achieve each other. No one dares to underestimate this pair.
The huge energy that can be unleashed by natural and tacit cooperation cannot be easily provoked.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with someone's current behavior of rubbing oil on the soles of someone's feet. Really, the Tang Dynasty is worthy of them, not to mention that it seems that only one person came this time... It's just that everyone had a good relationship in the previous life, and there was no conflict.
, so, let yourself go, bah, it doesn’t matter if you let the other person go.
Unfortunately, even though Jane looks like a humanoid self-propelled female tyrannosaurus. So unless they can be killed together, once something goes wrong with Jane, there is a high probability that Joan will not stop dying, and someone will basically live in the shadow of a sniper rifle for the rest of his life.
Down……
Take a look, it's not that he doesn't do his best, it's just that there are too many objective factors, and the gains outweigh the losses.
