As night falls, neon lights and stars are reflected in the Loire River, like a colorful light belt running through this ancient city.
The slightly cold wind blows across the river, raising a silvery shimmer and passing over the top of the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany, sending the breath of history into the streets of this city.
Outside the sea of lights, there was another scene in the dim alley. A shadow-like person was crawling on the ground. His will to survive squeezed out the last bit of his physical energy. His golden eyes were filled with fear. When he kissed the ground, he confessed to the God he believed in, but God could not hear him, and the perpetrator was indifferent.
With a fierce wind, the black man in his thirties was kicked out again. His white teeth were scattered all over the ground, which was particularly conspicuous under the starlight.
The black-haired oriental young man had an expressionless face. He was wearing a black trench coat, white gloves, and his hair was neatly combed. If the environment were different, he would look like a high-society butler.
He didn't look at the target rolling to the ground, took out his cell phone, and spoke calmly.
"Gru Guines was imprisoned for the first time at the age of thirteen for rape. After he was released from prison, he studied in Marseille. He was arrested again at the age of twenty-one. He was released from prison last year. He committed multiple robberies and murders. You escaped this time. For a long time, because you gradually gained power, it was difficult for the police to arrest you. "
The young man chanted word by word, and walked slowly towards Gru who climbed to the end of the alley. His movements were graceful, but in the eyes of the black man, he looked like the God of Death coming to take his life.
"You, you are not a policeman, why did you arrest me!"
Gru tried his best to retreat back, but he touched the wall behind him and had no way to escape, so he said sternly: "You can't kill me. I'm covered by Boss Sisika. If you kill me, you can't kill me." I will never leave France!”
The young man had no expression on his face. He checked the X number on a certain column on his mobile phone and took out a silenced pistol from his arms. "You will see him soon."
“FUCK Y…”
Before Gru could curse, a hole appeared between his eyebrows, and thick blood slowly flowed out.
Even until his death, he didn't know why such a terrifying god of death came to trouble him.
The young man raised his left hand and looked at the time. It had just arrived at 8 o'clock, and it was time to get off work.
He glanced at the corpse on the ground and walked out of the alley calmly. Before taking action, he checked the area. There were no cameras. The death of a person with many criminal records on the street would not cause a sensation. He did it very cleanly.
I'm afraid Gru could never have thought in his entire life that these people died today not because of various indescribable crimes, but because they accidentally stretched their hands across the line. The plutocrats behind them would be subject to economic sanctions, and these dirty The chess piece accepts death.
This is a boring task. Compared with this kind of task, the young man misses the time when he used to work in the execution department.
Su Lin was also an outstanding student at Kassel Academy, but he did not join the Executive Department after graduation. Instead, he was recruited by the Laurent family and is now responsible for handling various "troublesome matters" in the mixed-race world.
He walked through the streets and alleys and stopped in front of a store with the Baccarat brand. He opened the door and was immediately greeted by uniformed sales staff.
He walked straight to the glass cabinet, took out his phone and looked at the text message he received. Then he pointed at the brightest diamond ring in the center and said, "Get this for me."
The sales lady was stunned for a moment. She had never seen anyone place an order directly after entering the store without looking around. Moreover, the diamond ring the young man pointed to was the largest and most expensive model in the store.
This diamond ring shines brightly under the light, and the reflected light seems to be able to dazzle people's eyes. It is fully worthy of its price tag of US$290,000.
"Excuse me sir, do you want to..."
The sales lady asked carefully. She didn't know why she had to be so careful. Maybe it was because the order was too big and the commission made her tremble with excitement. Maybe it was because of the man's frosty expression. His temperament was like The cold-blooded killer in the movie.
"For marriage proposal."
However, the next moment the young man smiled, and the frost melted. The smile was like a spring breeze from the East, which made people intoxicated. For a moment, the sales girl's eyes were a little blurred. For the first time, she discovered that the men from the East were so attractive, and then she I feel envious and jealous of that unknown girl.
"Excuse me, sir, is it the full payment?"
However, her professionalism still made her react. Instead of envying that girl, she should be happy with her sales today.
Su Lin looked at the account balance and said calmly: "Full payment."
"If you want to engrave your name, it will take a week to pick up the goods. Sir, you can come here to pay the deposit first."
The sales lady guided.
Su Lin shook his head, "No need to carve a name."
The sales lady was stunned for a moment and looked a little weird. Generally, the engagement ring must be engraved with the girl's name, which means loyalty, because once the name is engraved on the diamond ring, it cannot be erased. You cannot take the girl's name with you. Give this diamond ring to the next girl by name.
She wondered to herself, could it be that this well-dressed and handsome young man from the East was actually a scumbag
But she didn't dare to ask such questions. She was just a salesperson selling jewelry. She wasn't that gossipy, as long as she could make money.
Ten minutes later, Su Lin put the diamond ring box in his breast pocket, opened the door and left.
Today is March 2nd, a special day.
Even though their current situation was very unsafe, he still insisted on completing the final task and received the remaining reward.
Because today is a special day.
Su Lin got out of the car and looked at the time again. It was eight fifty. He was not late.
What stood in front of him at this time was a magnificent church with a sharp dome and sword-like thin towers. It was a typical flame Gothic style building - the Cathedral of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul in Nantes.
At this time, all the tourists had dispersed, and the door outside the church had been closed, but the young man was like a light night owl, after a short run, he turned over silently.
With a heavy creaking sound, Su Lin pushed open the door of the church. The starry sky and moonlight tonight were particularly bright. Even without turning on the lights, he could roughly see the environment here.
The interior decoration of the church is extremely exquisite. The beautifully carved columns are like a forest of white sacred stones. Every place that can be painted is covered with murals, like a Renaissance palace.
Holy water flows from the statue and drips into the holy pool, making a soft sound.
The moonlight passes through the frescoed windows made of spar on both sides, and the projection of mythology is sprinkled on the ground inside the church.
At the deepest point are two side-by-side sculptures, both made of white marble. They are early Renaissance sculptures. A man and a woman are lying peacefully with their hands clasped upside down, wearing the traditional white fur of Brittany with black. With some clothing, you can still feel the love between this couple even though it has been a long time.
This is a mausoleum specially built for her parents by Princess Anne of Brittany in the Middle Ages. She hoped that her parents could still live together in love even in heaven.
Nowadays, it has become a place of pilgrimage for many religious couples, and it is also a common place for wealthy capitalists to choose Western-style weddings.
The atmosphere of history and religion in various scenes hit his face, but they were not as conspicuous as the girls standing in front of the two sculptures. At least Su Lin only had her eyes on her at this time.
He wanted to speak, but at this moment his cell phone rang, making him secretly say something bad.
But that ringtone is special. It is a direct order issued by the family's special agency. It usually only rings for very urgent tasks.
Forget it, the time has not come yet for what he prepared, so let’s see what it is first.
He opened the phone and glanced at the content on it. He was stunned on the spot. Then he flipped through the content repeatedly. The dim light of the phone illuminated his stern face, with an expression of disbelief.
Then he raised his head and looked deep into the church, at the girl with black hair and blue eyes, at her senior sister, and at the former president of the Lion Heart Society.
"You came."
The girl's voice was very magnetic, without any emotion in her words. As her voice sounded, the crystal chandelier in the church also lit up.
Suddenly, light filled the entire space, and there was no darkness to hide, except for the shadow in the young man's heart.
Su Lin didn't answer, just put away the phone silently.
"You are here to kill me."
It should be a question, but the girl seems to be stating the fact.
"...Is what is said above true?"
After a long silence, Su Lincai spoke with difficulty.
"Otherwise, why do you think I asked you to meet here?"
The girl under the light was wearing a brown trench coat, her black slightly curly hair was tied into a ponytail, her hands were lowered, and she held thin blades between her fingers. Her golden eyes were already ablaze, and they were brighter than the chandeliers on the dome. But also conspicuous.
Su Lin was stunned for a moment. It was indeed the other party who had chosen the meeting place tonight. He originally thought it was a romantic and deserted place.
But it seems that in the other party's opinion, the word "romantic" should be removed. What girls want is no one.
"Alice, but you were obviously with me that day."
Su Lin opened his mouth to defend the girl. If he had a mirror in front of him, he would know how tangled and ridiculous his usually paralyzed face looked now.
"Have we really been together forever?"
Alice walked slowly towards Su Lin with a sarcastic smile, the invisible murderous intention extending forward like her shadow.
The muscles under Su Lin's clothes also tensed up. He suddenly realized that the other party was serious. He hadn't made a move yet just because the other party's Yan Ling was not close enough.
"I think we can talk."
Su Lin's voice was bitter, "People from the execution department are looking for us everywhere now. I don't believe this is the truth of the matter."
As he spoke, he opened his hands to indicate that he was not holding a weapon and walked towards the girl.
A man and a woman were walking on the carpet in the center. In Su Lin's imagination, this scene was supposed to be romantic.
But the two sides stood still, and there was no warmth in Alice's eyes.
"Su Lin, you have always been stupid, you should stay in the academy."
Alice's expression was indifferent, and the blades between her fingers fell and undulated, like gorgeous butterflies flying around her.
Yanling·Jianyu.
It uses magnetism to control metal. For those who use it with precision, this is a very suitable word spirit to be a killer.
"Is it...all a lie?"
Su Lin sighed and put his hand into the built-in pocket of the windbreaker, "I was supposed to..."
However, before he could finish his words, the sharp breath had already arrived. He immediately leaned to the side and propped himself on the ground with one hand. Silver-white butterflies brushed the ends of his hair in front of his eyebrows, and a few black hairs fell to the ground, just like him. My heart slowly sank.
The blade was very fast, but Su Lin was even faster. He drew out the short knife from his waist and struck away the eight blades that were coming at him one by one. Almost at the same time, eight sparks exploded in the air.
The spirit of speech·moment is opened from the third level.
However, those blades were like ghosts that could not be driven away, surrounding him again, and the knife in his hand was somewhat out of control. This was not an alchemical knife.
At the same time, Alice stepped forward. She was indeed not as fast as Su Lin, but the opponent never defeated her in close combat.
Like a smooth and beautiful snake, she easily avoided Su Lin's grasp, then grabbed the opponent's crossed arm with both hands, used her strength to fly into the air, and wrapped her legs around the opponent, aiming for Su Lin's neck.
Su Lin split a few blades with his knife, trying to force the crossbar open with the knife, but it seemed a little too late. The pair of slender and powerful legs clamped his neck tightly.
Alice exerted strength from her waist and pushed Su Lin to the ground. She flicked her black hair and stabbed Su Lin's face with a silver hairpin, bringing with it the sound of death.
Su Lin had just fallen to the ground and had not yet regained his balance. His only free right hand still had to resist the blades coming towards him, and the hairpin's attack was a blind spot in his defense.
Even if he attacks the enemy and saves her, in terms of distance, he can only cut off Alice's legs at most, but cannot damage her vital parts. It seems to be a dead end unless he can move faster.
There was fierce murderous intent in Alice's eyes.
Won!
call out-
However, the next moment Su Lin suddenly raised his head and bit the hairpin with his teeth. Sparks flickered around him. They were scattered blades, but what he held in his hand was no longer a short knife, but a PPK silenced pistol.
The strength of the legs wrapped around his neck gradually weakened, and bright red flowers bloomed on Alice's chest.
Su Lin was stunned for a moment. He broke through Setsuna's level on the line between life and death. Because of the fighting habits he had developed over the years, he subconsciously fired. His shooting skills were always very good, and he hit the target.
"Alice?"
Su Lin's voice sounded almost at the same time as the sound of the blade falling to the ground. He rushed towards him crazily and held Alice in his arms. However, Alice just looked at him without saying a word, then gently raised her hand and reached towards his face. Finally fell down weakly.
Elegant and romantic music sounded at this time, the ensemble of cello and violin was so light and joyful, and the techniques of Pachelbel's canon always have a sacred artistic conception.
Su Lin raised his head and looked at the big bell in the church.
It's nine o'clock.
This was his default mobile phone music. When this music sounded, he should have put the diamond ring on the girl's hand, but now the girl was lying in her arms, and the temperature was slowly passing away.
He had never defeated the girl in front of him in a sparring match, and today he finally won... until he lost everything.
