A Titled Hitman represents the peak strength of the Hitman Guild.
It's not easy to become a Hitman of this level.
But Buttercup told me that I need to achieve this before I can help him.
— — -the Hitman Guild's strength can be considered one of the strongest in Void City, so what exactly is it that requires a Titled Hitman to do?
After thinking for a bit, Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized that he doesn't know too much about the Hitman Guild.
Since I can't go on any missions right now, I might as well go back and learn more about the Guild …
With that in mind, he stood up and said:
"It's getting late, I'll be leaving first, I'll come find you again next time"
Buttercup reached her hand out: "Give me one of your Communication Talismans"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, then recalled that she had once stayed in a cultivation-type world, even dating a cultivator, so of course she knew how to use a Communication Talisman.
"Wait a minute — — it's been a while since I've used it, let me look for it"
Gu Qing Shan took out a Communication Talisman and gave it to her.
Buttercup received the talisman and also stood up, saying: "Your abilities will be taken away for an entire day, it might not be safe for you to walk around by yourself, I'll take you back to the Hitman Guild"
"No need, I should be fine" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Buttercup continued: "Don't be careless, although your invisibility technique is impressive, if there's still some sort of mark or something similar on your body, it might draw the attention of certain entities and cause problems"
While they were talking, the sound of footsteps could be heard coming from the door.
Following that, the door was opened as a child who appeared to be around 5 years old came in.
"Mommy, I want to bring some snacks back to — —"
The child's voice suddenly stopped.
He looked at Gu Qing Shan, then at Buttercup, his expression became cautious.
"Mommy, who is this?"
Buttercup didn't mind: "Ah, an old friend, why did you sneak back here again?"
"I want to eat the snacks you made yourself, they're really delicious" the child smiled and said.
Buttercup's lips curled up a bit and said: "Wait, I'll make some for you, bring it back to the tower and share it with the other students"
She hurried into the house.
Taking advantage of this moment, the child curiously circled around Gu Qing Shan and whispered, "Are you her boyfriend?"
"No." Gu Qing Shan quickly denied.
"Really?" the child asked doubtfully.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and said, "It's really not. Your mother helped me before, and we have a mutual friend."
Only then did the child heave a sigh of relief and murmur, "Thank goodness you're not. You're too weak. You're a disgrace to my mother."
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
This child must be the realm demon from back then.
I really don't know what kind of power the Ominous Demon Tower has to be able to turn the realm demon back into a child, almost no different from a human.
Speaking of which, every force in Void City seemed to have their own characteristics and abilities.
They were stronger than any organization in the 900 million World Layers.
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, Buttercup came out with two bags of snacks, one for her son and the other for Gu Qing Shan.
"I made them, they taste quite good, take them back" she told Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly received the snacks and said in surprise: "Ah — – thank you, thank you"
— — -he had always been the one to cook for others, other than Xiao Lou, very few people ever cooked for him.
The child happily received the snacks and said: "Thank you, mother!" Before turning around and disappeared.
Buttercup opened the door and turned to Gu Qing Shan: "Let's go, I'll take you back"
Since Gu Qing Shan was holding a plate of snacks in both hands, she couldn't refuse and could only follow her outside.
It was already late at night, there weren't many people on the streets.
Buttercup and Gu Qing Shan walked on the silent street, talking as they walked.
"Within the space turbulence, many powerful monsters and forces have a place in this city. That's why everyone has agreed on some common rules," Han Shuo said.
Xiao Die would remind him of whatever she thought of.
"For example?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Xiao Die said: "Anyone who comes here without obtaining an identity within a day, if they don't leave, they will be done for."
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I know about that, anything else?"
Buttercup replied: "A newcomer who has just obtained an identity won't be carefully nurtured by any organization, unless that newcomer has proven their worth"
She glanced at Gu Qing Shan and whispered: "A Sealing Hitman can only be considered a temporary candidate, only after you reach Unsolvable or Unlivable rank would the Hitman Guild recognize you as a valuable Hitman, only then would they properly nurture you"
Gu Qing Shan recalled her time in the Hitman Guild and felt a bit relieved.
— — -no wonder Poison Bee wasn't in a hurry to save me when I ran into the four demon insects, so it wasn't just for personal reasons, but also because a Sealing Hitman isn't much at all.
Also, when he became a "Sealed-Rank" assassin, he only received a sturdy armor. He didn't have the right to touch anything else.
Seems like I'll have to hurry up and become an Unsolvable Hitman as soon as possible.
"Right, Buttercup, what rank are you in the Ominous Demon Tower? Have you passed your probation? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
Buttercup replied: "Being a Teaching Assistant is a probationary position, I'm the head of academic affairs, all the mischievous little demons have to listen to me"
"How impressive" Gu Qing Shan sincerely praised her.
"Also, for some reason, I'm considered a 'Goddess' among the ominous demons, they all consider me their dream lover" Buttercup held back her laughter and said.
"Ah? They're infatuated with you? "Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
Buttercup pointed at her beautiful face: "It's not my human form, it's my True Demon form, you've seen it before"
"Ah, I understand …"
"Ahahaha, are you surprised? I'm surprised myself as well "
Buttercup laughed.
Whenever Gu Qing Shan talked to her, she didn't hide anything from her, so when she talked to Gu Qing Shan, she felt comfortable and said whatever was on her mind.
The two of them stopped in front of the Hitman Guild.
"Alright, I'm here, thank you for bringing me back" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Hm, then I'll be going back, keep working hard, come visit me whenever you have time" Buttercup said.
She casually caught something from the void of space and gave it to Gu Qing Shan.
"This is my contact information."
"Alright"
As soon as Gu Qing Shan received the butterfly emblem, a whistle came from behind him.
He turned around.
Only to see a man wearing a wide-brimmed top hat, a pair of black trousers, a pair of black leather shoes, as well as a slender rapier hanging from his waist.
— — Titled Hitman, Crow.
This bewitchingly beautiful man displayed a frivolous smile and teased: "You've only been in Void City for a few days, yet a beauty has already sent you back, and even offered to give you her contact, tsk tsk tsk, you're even more impressive than I was back then"
"Not at all, it's just an old friend" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Ahahaha, don't say anymore, I understand"
Crow patted his shoulder, gave him a knowing look, then glanced at Buttercup.
"Such a pure beauty — – huh? Why do I feel like she looks a bit familiar … "
Crow muttered, then suddenly showed a pondering expression.
Buttercup coldly glared at Crow, thinking that Gu Qing Shan would still be staying in the Hitman Guild for quite a while, so she slowly dispelled her killing intent.
"I'm leaving, contact me if you need anything" she told Gu Qing Shan.
"Hm, this person is just a blabbermouth, don't take it to heart" Gu Qing Shan said apologetically.
"It's fine" Buttercup smiled.
She turned around and walked towards the other side of the street, slowly disappearing at the end of the road.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Crow.
Crow was still thinking about Buttercup's background.
"Crow, I have something I want to ask you"
"Hm? What is it? "Crow regained his senses and asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "To advance to Unsolvable rank, I need to complete 5 consecutive full score Quests, it's troublesome and time-consuming, is there a faster way?"
Crow looked at him with a mocking expression.
"You really want to advance that badly?"
"I want to become a Titled Hitman as soon as possible" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Crow was a bit surprised, then chuckled: "Seeing how you dealt with Poison Bee, I thought someone like you was just playing around as an Hitman"
"I don't think of him as one of my own" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Crow nodded, then said: "Alright, if you really want to join the profession, you'll need to participate in a large-scale joint mission. If your performance is exceptional, you'll be able to complete 3-4 full score Quests at once — — I happen to be in charge of such a mission, do you want to join?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Of course"
Crow became a bit more cautious, then said: "This mission is very difficult, you might lose your life if you're not careful, you need to consider carefully"
"There's no need to consider, I'll join"
"Alright, if you die, don't blame me"
"I won't, I'll treat you to a drink after the mission"
"Ahaha, alright"
…
At another location.
Buttercup walked a few streets, then silently stood in a corner for a while.
Scenes of the past flashed through her mind.
"Buttercup, although you're only 6 years old, your talent with scrolls is the best in this world!"
"That's great, after being oppressed for so long, a peerless genius has finally appeared in our world"
"Keep it a secret! Make sure to keep it a secret! "
"Yes! Don't say anything! "
Heavenly flames rained down.
The world was heading towards destruction.
"No! I don't know what kind of information they've received, but they're trying to destroy our world! "
"It's over, it's all over"
Boom — — — —
Everyone was dead.
I did everything I could to resist, but still slowly fell into the abyss of death.
All of a sudden, a hand reached out and caught me.
The hand was very steady, very warm.
"Ah, how pitiful, this is the only life left in this world"
The man hovered in mid-air, looking down at me with pity in his eyes.
"You … are?"
"I am Bali, Iron Fist Bali"
…
"I am Gu Qing Shan"
"Please deliver this flower to the crippled Bali, I hope he's well"
"I will definitely deliver it to him, I will convey your blessings to him"
"… But Buttercup, do you know what I think? I feel that at the moment of the infinite worlds' destruction, a person who still holds gratitude towards others is definitely not a demon"
"I hope that one day, you will be able to appear in front of him and tell him yourself, no matter what you turn into, your heart will never change, you will always be the little girl he saved"
All the memories disappeared.
Buttercup's gaze became focused.
"I've been abandoned … for too long"
She muttered, then abruptly disappeared.
