More than ten years ago, in the Skyrim District... yes, it is the Skyrim District that has now fallen into complete chaos. However, Rome was not built in a day, and it did not freeze three feet in a day. The rebellion in the Skyrim District also has a broad popular base——
People who are too poor to survive.
There are many generous and tragic people in bitter cold lands, and Tianji District is no exception. As a ruling district in the northeastern region, the people of Tianji District are fierce and warlike. The locals are all people who value death over life, and they also have ancestral religions.
To strengthen their beliefs with faith, it is naturally inconvenient for such people to rule. The history of governance in Tianji District is a history of compromise. Sometimes people from the Huiyao Sect severely suppressed it, and sometimes people from Tianji became consuls to recuperate. Anyway, it was always noisy.
But overall it was pretty peaceful.
But a few decades ago, Huiyao changed his "moderate" policy toward the Tianji District. Several consecutive governors were strict, destroying the ancestral tombs and temples of the Tianji people and provoking conflicts among local clans. Most importantly,
Yes, they forcibly relocated people in the name of diversion of rivers and construction of water conservancy projects.
Looking back in hindsight, Huiyao's strategy was actually not wrong. Destroying the ancestral temple was to suppress the clan power, provoking local clan conflicts was to weaken the aristocratic family, and relocating the people was to make up for the shortfall by moving more than the losses - Tianji District has too many young and strong labor force.
, wouldn’t it be nice to send them to other areas to build the country? Why stay in this bitter cold place to fight and drink?
It's just that the plan was perfect, but the reality was cruel. After their ancestors' tombs and temples were destroyed, and they were expelled from their homes, the people of Skyrim felt that they couldn't leave their homeland. They would rather be refugees than leave the Skyrim area and become a bandit mountain.
The thieves have worsened public security in Tianji District, leading to further suppression from the Huiyao Central Committee, entering a vicious cycle.
Natural disasters are just the trigger, and man-made disasters that last for decades are the root cause of the war.
More than ten years ago, a boy with a Yin character in his name and his village became the target of forced relocation by the imperial court. In fact, this had nothing to do with him and his family, but a few young and energetic young people were angry and gathered together.
A group of people argued with officials - or fought - but ended up dead, the village was affected, and the army massacred the village.
Sometimes, you don’t need to do anything wrong, or even see you. As long as you have the same label, you will be ravaged by fate.
The boy had been a refugee at the lowest level for several years. He would do anything for a bite to eat and honed his killing skills as precise as surgery. A passing assassin thought he was very talented and took him into his employ.
organization.
"Black Clothing Building." Yin Yinyin said: "Actually, it is not called that. The assassin organization does not need a name, and ordinary people will not know us. Only those who are qualified and willing to hire us will receive our mail.
The price list...usually includes the name and price of the target the other party wants to kill."
"But most of the people inside like to wear black clothes to cover up their gray hair and hide in the darkness, so I call it the Black Clothes Building."
Le Yu wanted to turn his head to take a look at Yin Yinyin, but even turning his head was as difficult as rust: "White... hair?"
"That's right, everyone inside is the same as me. They practice the Hidden Sword War Technique." Yin Yinyin said: "Actually, just use common sense to deduce that this short-lived taboo war method, the Hidden Sword War Technique, cannot be organized without an organization.
How can the inheritance be passed down to this day? Even if someone keeps it secretly, as soon as the descendants practice it, the popularity will be cut off immediately... Not to mention that the Huiyao court has been hunting the white-haired people, and no one except the assassin organization will keep it privately."
"More than a year ago, the organization received a very special order."
The special thing about this order is that in addition to the target being the high-ranking governor of Xingke County, Ding Yi, there is also a special request: Ding Yi must be killed as a rebel, and he must be a rebel.
To gain the approval of the vast majority of people, it is best to kill it before the fall of a year later.
The target was too dangerous, the requirements were too high, and it also required time. At that time, almost all the assassins gave up on the order, except for the boy who had been struggling in troubled times for several years. He had collected information on the magic weapons of the day and knew that the saint's relics were very valuable.
It was possible that he was in the Ding family, so he accepted the order and joined the White Night organization more than a year ago, and relied on his merits to become one of the leaders of Xingke County.
He contacted Lu Zhong, the person who issued the order. He knew Lu Zhong's purpose well, and the 'turmoil' he planned was far more effective than a simple 'assassination' in making Lu Zhong the official leader of Xingke County, so Lu Zhong provided him with
support.
Le Yu could no longer stand. He knelt down on the ground and breathlessly uttered a name:
"Blue Flame."
"Yes." Yin Yinyin nodded: "Lan Yan has been using you to provide convenience for Bai Ye. The establishment of branches, the entry of gun weapons into the city, daily inspections... Without your existence, Bai Ye would not be able to survive today. You are me
Consensus with Lan Yan."
"So we all get what we want: Lan Yan is fully prepared for tonight's rebellion, and he will be the hero of Xingke County tomorrow morning; Ding Yi is dead, and Lu Zhong, who has Lan Yan's support, will have no obstacles anymore
I took over Xingke County and took charge of Ling Haijun; and I also got what I wanted...the relics of the saint."
"Meteor, do you have many question marks in your mind? And the biggest question mark should be... why do I have to go through so much trouble just to obtain this ultimate weapon?"
"I heard that thinking can prolong the time of brain death for the dying. So, please use your common sense and think about it. The assassin organization of Black Clothes House is full of secret assassins who are in danger of life and death. So what exactly is the organization...
How to restrain the assassin and let him go through fire and water?"
yes.
As Le Yu listened, he felt a great sense of disobedience: Why should the organization command a group of assassins who can only live for a few years but have powerful night fighting capabilities?
Money? They can't live very long. What's the use of having money? Even if they make money for their families, assassins may not have families. For someone like Yin Yinyin, whose whole family is dead, he can support himself by just being a grand thief.
, why should we take orders from the assassin organization?
"...Fate." Le Yu lowered his head and looked at the sword tip on his chest: "Hei Yi Lou, there is a way to extend your lifespan."
"The answer is correct." Yin Yinyin said calmly: "But to be precise, it is a weapon."
"The Illusion God Weapon, the Soul-Purifying Evil Demon Sword. It has many abilities, but the most important point to us is that it can store life force by killing people, and then deliver the life force to anyone according to the holder's wishes."
"Only by completing our mission can we gain life from the leader's sword."
"And this is why I try every possible means to obtain the relics of the saint."
Sa.
Yin Yin withdrew her sword, and Le Yu's body seemed to have lost all support, lying limply on the cold ground.
"I once touched the Soul-Purifying Demon Sword." Yin Yin held up the long sword and admired the bright red patterns on the sword: "Now, I simulated a fake of the Soul-Purifying Demon Sword through the relics of the saint... although it is weakened.
A fake version, but with the same abilities."
"From now on, I will no longer be controlled by the Black Clothes Tower."
"From now on, I don't have to wake up every day and think about how many days I have left to live."
"Meteor, can you understand someone like me who knows how much time I have as soon as I open my eyes and who is approaching death every day? How do I feel every day?"
"able……"
"No, you definitely don't understand." Yin Yin covered her heart: "How can a top student like you, who is gifted and has a privileged life, understand? I have tried my best just to live in front of you.
"
"Do you think I'm afraid of death? No, I'm not afraid of death. What I'm afraid of is that I can't do anything and have to leave this world."
"Death is not something to be afraid of. What is truly terrifying is the lack of hope."
Le Yu was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "You seem to have...said...this sentence."
Yin Yin stood half in the darkness and half in the light. He looked at Le Yu silently and asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
He also said something else: If you want to ask, ask quickly, otherwise you will die.
Le Yu also felt that his body seemed to have turned into a decaying coffin, unable to move or escape. He could only welcome death. In addition to absorbing life force, the sword of purifying souls and evil spirits seemed to have more wonderful functions.
ability.
"Why do you want to kill me?"
It suddenly sounds a bit nonsensical. What other reason is there to kill you? But Le Yu really doesn’t understand: he has no enmity with Yin Yin Yin, and he will not snatch the saint’s relics from Yin Yin Yin. Now that Yin Yin Yin has achieved his goal
, why don't you just leave Xiaoyao Happily, but instead have to deal with him, a seriously injured disabled person?
Yin Yin was silent for a long time. Just when Le Yu thought he was about to stretch his legs, he suddenly said: "I want to continue to serve Bai Ye."
Le Yu was so surprised that his soul returned to his body.
"It's incredible, isn't it? An assassin wants to work for a revolutionary organization... But in more than a year, wiping the butt of you people who have no common sense and cleaning up your mess has been the happiest thing I have ever experienced.
Comfortable time.”
"Each of you shines like the sun. Although everyone has their own shortcomings, they all have a shining will. Working with you, I feel as if I have become a great person and a meaningful person.
A person, a...kind person."
"But if I want to go back to Baiye, I have to kill everyone who knows about it. Only in this way can I make up the story of Xingke County. Lan Yan will take care of An Qian's side. The only target I have to deal with is
You, Meteor."
Le Yu's expression became very complicated, but now he didn't even have the strength to speak. He just frowned and looked at Yin Yinyin.
But Yin Yinyin understood Le Yu's expression: "You want to ask, why didn't I betray Lu Zhong, help Bai Ye capture Xingke County, and then use this credit to obtain the relics of the saint... Or, I can start at the beginning
Just show your attitude that you want the relics of the saint and ask Bai Ye to help me?"
Le Yu nodded.
"Yeah, why don't I do that?"
Yin Yin revealed half of her face in the light, revealing a gentle smile: "Actually, Lin Jinyao doesn't have to die, but his reputation is too high. If he doesn't die, I won't be able to take the lead in the city capture plan. Neither does Lin Xuen.
He must die, but without him as a dead 'traitor', the White Night Headquarters would not dare to allocate resources to Xingke County..."
"the same as you."
Yin Yinyin looked at Le Yu, obviously still smiling, but tears flowed from the corners of his eyes: "I don't want you to die either, so I asked Lan Yan to give you a ticket, and then I also gave you a ticket. The purpose
I just hope that you and your sister can go to Yanjing and leave Xingke County, a place of right and wrong."
"But when I saw you, why could I still kill you without hesitation?"
Yin Yinyin finally lost his composure, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, his body trembled, and the sadness in his eyes was too strong to be resolved: "Why?"
He took a deep breath and sighed helplessly.
"The Yin Yin Yin you see who can speak a lot of great truths and devote himself wholeheartedly to Bai Ye is my mask."
"The murderer you didn't see, the assassin 'Yin' who was ruthless and ruthless in order to obtain the ultimate weapon, who would do whatever it took to get the ultimate weapon, and who didn't trust anyone but himself, is also my mask."
"Some masks, if worn for too long, can no longer be taken off."
"So, I want to serve Bai Ye, but I don't believe that Bai Ye will fight for the saint's relics for me. I long to be a kind and brave person like you, but I am ruthless and ruthless for my own purposes."
"My heart is toward the light, but it is twisted like dust."
"The real me may have died on that night thirteen years ago when I was hiding under the corpses of my parents and not daring to move."
"The one alive now is just a... double-faced man with two masks."
The night wind howled, the firelight in the distance dimmed, and the distant shouts of death were completely inaudible.
"it's all over."
Yin Yinyin looked at Le Yu, whose breath seemed to be absent: "You are going to die too."
"I heard that using the soul-purifying demon sword to absorb life force can make people die without feeling any pain... Are you in pain?"
Le Yu turned her head, looked at Chen Fu lying dead in the distance with her peripheral vision, and sighed softly: "It hurts."
No physical pain.
But it hurts somewhere.
The pain was so painful that he wanted to just die.
"Although I didn't mean it this way, you are the only friend who knows all my experiences."
When Yin Yinyin said this, his expression became a little strange and asked: "Are you willing to forgive me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Yinyin couldn't help it any longer. He raised the corners of his mouth, laughed and shook his head, with tears in the corners of his eyes, as if he was laughing or crying.
Le Yu also laughed.
He used up his last strength and said softly: "I don't want to..."
"but……"
Before she could finish speaking, Le Yu felt that she had lost all her strength and closed her eyes with heavy eyelids.
I don't know how long it took.
Maybe one lifetime.
It could be just a moment.
Le Yu opened her eyes.
He saw Qian Yuliu lying on the ground covered with scars.
Outside, the moon was shining brightly in the sky, and corpses lay everywhere.
Le Yu lowered his head and looked at the Soul Purifying Demon Sword in his hand. The sword was very beautiful, the runes were red and bright, and the blade was not stained with blood. The bursts of vitality coming from it made Le Yu feel full of energy all the time.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
But now he is the only living person in the entire slaughterhouse.
In the end, Le Yu could only sigh helplessly.
Thousands of words and all kinds of melancholy all disappeared with these words.
