In a house somewhere, someone muttered, "There seems to be a problem with the D-rank missions near Stronghold 61."
"What problem?" A shrill voice next to him asked, "What problem can there be with the D-rank missions?"
"In the past, these D-rank missions were all completed not long after they were issued. Look, the average completion time is four hours. But the last two missions were only completed a day later."
"Eh? Are you serious? " The person who spoke came over and said, "That's true. One took 21 hours and the other 23 hours. What's going on? Are there no more qualified holders in the vicinity of Stronghold 61?"
"That can't be right. There are a total of 11 qualified holders who have accepted the missions for the two missions."
This meant that 11 hitmen must have accepted the missions. But with so many hitmen accepting the missions, there were still some problems.
"Could it be that the targets are more difficult to kill? What missions were they assigned to you? "
"They're both very simple D-rank missions. They're mainly to clean up some of the Soong Clan's more sinful bureaucrats, and they don't have any bodyguards." The person who spoke first wondered, "Did something happen?"
"Then who completed these two missions?"
"It's that idiot who gave us the mutton stew …."
"Pfft." The person next to him laughed. "That must be a newly qualified holder. How did he manage to complete the mission so smoothly?"
"That's not it. He also accepted a few missions before this, but he probably didn't manage to get any because he was too far away. I think this holder should be in town near Stronghold 61."
"Let's report this to the boss." The person next to him chewed on a biscuit and said, "Put it into the summary of all the recent missions. Although a D-rank holder isn't a big deal, we still have to let the boss know about it."
"Alright."
"By the way, did those people who accepted the missions from Stronghold 61 accept any other missions?" The person next to him suddenly thought of something.
"Let me see." The person who spoke first was surprised to find that the qualified holders who had gone to Stronghold 61 to carry out the missions had all disappeared. They did not send them any text messages again.
He wondered if they had gone to rest. Did they not want to take on any missions for the time being?
But among these 11 people, there were some who would definitely take on any missions. They would still try even if they were far away.
"No, I have to tell the boss about this as soon as possible."
…
During this period, Ren Xiaosu did not do anything else. He just holed up in the tavern and waited for new missions to be issued before fishing.
He had also thought about going to other strongholds to carry out missions, but it was really too far away and he was unfamiliar with the place. He might as well stay here and familiarize himself with the organization behind this cell phone.
Just half a month later, he had more than ten cell phones in his storage space. But to his disappointment, he was disappointed that the other party had only issued two missions related to Stronghold 61.
During this period, he also posted more than a dozen missions for other strongholds on his cell phone. But as it was too far away and he was not familiar with them, Ren Xiaosu did not go there.
Ren Xiaosu did some rough calculations. If he had to complete five missions within 60 days to advance to C-rank, then completing a single stronghold's missions would definitely not be enough. After all, assassinations could not happen frequently in the same stronghold.
"I'll take it one step at a time," Ren Xiaosu thought.
At this moment, he received a new text message on his cell phone. "Target: Zhang Cengran, former director of the Soong Clan's Stronghold 144's Taxation Department. He has fled to a town outside of Stronghold 61. Reward: 20000 yuan."
Ren Xiaosu was overjoyed. It was another familiar face. He did not expect the Anjing House would keep issuing missions to them as though they could not get along with these bureaucrats.
But based on the previous missions, the organization behind the cell phone would always mention the bad deeds of the people they wanted to kill. It was as though they were trying to make the hitmen feel less guilty. Meanwhile, the D-rank missions were mainly focused on factory managers who bullied the market or town managers who were extremely bad at doing things.
But Ren Xiaosu could not understand. Would these people really be willing to pay for their lives?
He could not figure out the reason behind this, so he went to ask the storyteller. In the end, the storyteller said he speculated that the missions given to the cell phone owners were issued by the Anjing House themselves. After sending supernatural beings to accept the extremely expensive missions, a portion of the employer's reward would be given to the supernatural beings who completed the missions. Meanwhile, the Anjing House would take a cut from the commission and use it to maintain the entire Anjing House's system of hitmen. They would use this to select the targets and eliminate the targets they wanted to kill.
As for what their exact motive was? Only they knew.
Ren Xiaosu did not think too much about it. He went straight to Zhang Cengran's shack. This was his third mission in Stronghold 61. After this mission, most of the cell phones in the vicinity would probably be confiscated, right?
When he got close to Zhang Cengran's shack, Ren Xiaosu cautiously circled around it and deliberately observed his surroundings.
Although it would be very easy to deal with a fat official, what if something unexpected happened?
Then Ren Xiaosu saw a small white paper crane perched on an electric pole next to Zhang Cengran's shack.
It was already dark. If Ren Xiaosu had not seen this strange thing before, he might not have noticed it.
The direction the paper crane was facing was Zhang Cengran's shack. At this moment, Zhang Cengran was sleeping inside.
The situation gradually turned strange. The paper crane was staring at Zhang Cengran, while Ren Xiaosu was staring at the paper crane.
Ren Xiaosu was very sure he had not seen any paper cranes in his previous missions. His recent actions must have attracted the attention of the other party, so they wanted to see who was causing trouble.
However, he was also very sure the paper crane's feedback was definitely not immediate. Otherwise, there would be no need to write a note. Wouldn't it be better to just speak to the paper crane?
Moreover, he had caught a paper crane before. The paper crane had also seen his appearance. If it could transmit messages instantly, then the other party would have long begun to capture him …
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu decisively opened the Shadow Door and caught the paper crane.
The paper crane was caught off guard and wanted to spread its wings to cut off Ren Xiaosu's fingers. The wings were so sharp that an ordinary person's fingers would probably be cut off if they were caught. But this time, Ren Xiaosu had learned his lesson. He was faster and threw the paper crane into the space.
At this time, there were already two paper cranes in the storage space. The first one had even been torn into a piece of white paper.
I heard that collecting a thousand paper cranes seems to bring good luck to the person you like? Ren Xiaosu's imagination ran wild.
During this mission, Ren Xiaosu did not get a new cell phone. It was probably because the nearby cell phone owners had all been wiped out.
