Gordon was dead.
Even in death, he did not expect Xiao Zheng to come knocking on his door so soon. Originally, he planned to launch an inescapable net of assassinations tomorrow night. All the Fox Hunters scattered in Hua Xia would also gather tomorrow night to help him complete his mission.
However, his plan was ruined. He even lost his life in Pearl City, a place where he had just arrived and had yet to experience the local customs.
He fell limply to the ground, and his eyes did not close even in death. Obviously, he died with a grievance. However, Xiao Zheng only took out two pieces of paper and wiped the blood on the blade of the knife expressionlessly. Then, he pushed the door open and walked out.
In fact, when he climbed in through the window of the corridor on the second floor, he had killed nearly ten Fox Hunters in a row. These killers were all well-trained, and the moment Xiao Zheng appeared, they instinctively launched a counterattack. However, the person they encountered was none other than the King of Assassins, Judge Huo, who was ranked first on the assassin ranking list. No matter how professional they were, or how fast their reflexes were, it was difficult for them to escape from Xiao Zheng's fatal blow. Just like Gordon, these killers did not even manage to cry for help until they died. They died in the darkness, and they died in silence.
Just like countless previous missions, Xiao Zheng still succeeded this time. However, unlike before, this success did not bring any satisfaction to Xiao Zheng.
First, he thought that the other party was too weak, so weak that Xiao Zheng felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Second, Xiao Zheng realized a very serious problem. He was bringing trouble to Lin Huayin, big trouble!
But no matter the first or second reason, Xiao Zheng felt that the whole process tonight was filled with a strange atmosphere.
Puff.
The moment Xiao Zheng pushed open the door, he lit a cigarette. Using the light from the fire, he walked down the stairs and headed to the first floor in a dignified manner.
His steps were moderate, and he walked forward at a constant speed. However, the cigarette between his fingers continued to shine a weak light in front of him. The light was small, but it allowed Xiao Zheng to see the road in front of him.
Ga Deng.
When Xiao Zheng stepped down the stairs, he found himself in the living room. His pitch-black and deep eyes suddenly flashed with an icy coldness.
That was right.
This was the process he had expected. Xiao Zheng muttered to himself.
At the same time, Xiao Zheng slowly extinguished his cigarette and stepped on it. His eyes were fixed on the man sitting on the sofa, shrouded in darkness.
If it was a timid person, even a mature adult man, who suddenly saw a man sitting on the sofa like a corpse when he went downstairs, he would probably jump in fright.
But Xiao Zheng just stared at him as if it was a matter of course. It seemed that if this person did not appear, Xiao Zheng would feel that this trip was too easy and too strange.
The two of them were about five meters apart. It was neither near nor far. It wasn't enough for Xiao Zheng to see the person's face clearly, but he could clearly smell the presence of death from the person. Decayed and dark. It was as if this person had come from hell, from Asura!
"You've been here the whole time?" Xiao Zheng stared at the person calmly and asked softly.
"Yes," the man answered calmly.
"Why didn't you stop me?" Xiao Zheng was a little confused.
Why didn't you stop me? When he broke into the building from the second floor. When he killed the first assassin. With this person's agility and reflexes, Xiao Zheng could not have reached Gordon's room so quickly. As long as he shouted, the difficulty of tonight's assassination would skyrocket.
But from the moment he entered the building to the moment he killed Gordon and went downstairs, the man was like a corpse, sitting on the sofa without saying a word.
This made Xiao Zheng feel strange, and he was very confused.
Why?
What was he thinking?
Could it be … he wanted me to kill Gordon?
"You killing him has nothing to do with me," the man shrouded in darkness said in an extremely decayed tone. "Why should I say it?
"Unless he doesn't deserve to live in the first place?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Yes." The man nodded.
He did not need to hide it from Xiao Zheng. Of course, he did not have the habit of hiding it from the dead.
He was going to die anyway. Was there a difference in what he said and how he said it?
"Did you expect me to come here?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Yes." The man nodded.
"You knew I would come tonight?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"That's true." The man nodded again.
"You even used me to kill him?" Xiao Zheng's expression became more serious.
"You can think of it that way," the man said with a nod.
Xiao Zheng's thoughts became chaotic.
Why?
What was all this for?
They were clearly Fox Hunters. Why did Gordon want him to die? And this expert before him wanted him to kill Gordon?
"Is it strange?" The man finally stood up.
With the faint moonlight, Xiao Zheng saw the man's face clearly.
But the moment he saw the man's face, his nerves instantly tightened.
There was no other reason. Xiao Zheng recognized the man.
Ghost Face.
An expert with bloody and perverted methods. An ultimate expert who had been number one on the assassin list for ten years. Ten years ago, when the western assassin world was turbulent and there were many experts, this person stood out in the industry. No one dared to compete with him.
And at this moment, standing in front of Xiao Zheng was a real super killer who had been washed out by the waves. Ghost Face!
"You're going to die anyway. Let me answer your questions. " Ghost Face's gaze was calm, but on his seemingly disfigured face, there was an extremely ferocious expression. It was hard to tell if he was crying or laughing. Or was this his expression when he was calm?
"Jones is dead. Many people want to become the second leader of Fox Hunters. And killing you is the best way to become the leader of Fox Hunters. That's why the leaders of many regions want to kill you first. Including the leader of Asia, Itō, and Gordon, who you just killed. Jones's confidant, "Ghost Face said word by word.
"Seems like I've become a popular target for Fox Hunters," Xiao Zheng said playfully.
"Indeed," Ghost Face said slowly.
"Obviously, you and Gordon didn't form an alliance?" Xiao Zheng asked.
Ghost Face didn't save Gordon, even though he knew he went upstairs and knew he was going to kill Gordon. He just kept silent from beginning to end. Waiting for him in the living room.
"He doesn't deserve it," Ghost Face said lightly. "He's just a small character who fantasizes about rising to the top. As soon as Jones died, he completely lost the capital to establish a foothold in Fox Hunters. "
"Listen to your tone. Jones, the founder, doesn't have much control over Fox Hunters? "Xiao Zheng asked.
"He's just an agent," Ghost Face said firmly. "At best, he's just a high-level worker."
With a faint smile, Xiao Zheng regretfully said, "I initially thought that I could add a thick stroke to my resume by killing him, but it looks like I was overthinking it."
"You did think too much," Ghost Face said ruthlessly.
"But tonight, I will definitely become a famous person in the industry again," Xiao Zheng said confidently.
"Why?"
"Because of you," Xiao Zheng said word by word. "Because you will die."
