Chapter 318: The Wounded Rat (Part 2)
Jerry, this is the name given by his teacher, symbolizing farewell to him as a human being. Under this name, there is only an unfortunate and lucky rat man. He himself cannot cherish this name very much, just like the reason why Carus gave him this inconspicuous and meaningless code, the name itself has no meaning. As an assassin wandering in the dark, he does not need a loud name, no title or title, but without a name, it will become another form of name. The nameless person is often more noticeable, so Jerry is indeed the most suitable name for him.
"The name doesn't mean much to me, and knowing it won't have any impact on me." The rat man's reaction was plain or even indifferent, which was somewhat beyond the other party's expectations.
The catwoman's expression became very ferocious for a moment. She could not accept that her prey had not acted as she expected. She took a step forward, but soon took her legs back as if nothing had happened. The reason was that she keenly noticed the destructive intention in the latter's eyes when she shortened the distance with Jerry. He had not given up on resisting. On the contrary, the mouse that was forced into a dead corner was still waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. It was great, right? The ferocious expression suddenly changed back to the cruel elegant posture. She suddenly felt that it was very worthwhile to spend the effort to find this place today, and all the efforts were rewarded.
"But if I know your name, then you should at least think about who told me it. There are not many people in this city who don't call you by mice, right?" The cat licked her paws, and she pointed.
The Rat Man understood what she meant, but this time she was not panicked, but she wanted to laugh a little. The other party simply wanted him to realize that the most likely people who were familiar with him in this city were those who sheltered him last night, and then induced him to think that she had found those people and forced them to reveal his name and position. The problem was that she would not think about how reliable the person who protected him last night was a group of reliable partners. Maybe Catwoman was a powerful enemy that Jerry could not fight against, but in the face of the magic of the gray robe, there was nothing that could not be defeated, which directly exposed her ignorance.
"It's Ghost Face to tell you. Although he is pretty good at his assassins, he is just a broker after all, and he will change his words if he has a big profit." Jerry directly exposed the other party's suspicion. The grimace in his mouth was the masked man before. As for the broker, he refers to the middleman. In his position, he is the person who provides resting places, medical services, and collects tasks from the market to them. Ghost Face is the most stringent requirement for assassins here, so his business will always be successful and his reputation will rise. Many assassins regard being able to do business with him as their capital.
Her cat-like pupils contracted slightly, but she quickly got rid of the little unhappiness, "Okay, it was indeed what he said. When I found this place, I wanted to kill him. You know, brokers can't let them know too much. But he gave a condition that I couldn't refuse, a high bounty, and after making this order, he no longer needed to continue this kind of life."
"I thought you like your life very much." Jerry is not a bloodthirsty person, but he is already in this business, so he knows that there are definitely many people who enjoy killing.
"It's true, but I can't refuse the shiny gold coins except for playing." She said, leaning on the door frame, admitting that she enjoyed the killing without any worries.
She was the kind of person she didn't want to be the least, and the Rat Man secretly warned herself in her heart, "So, what does it have to do with me if you want to get that bounty? Or are you just showing off to a dying person?"
"Oh! You understand me so much! I am really, really, really like that kind of game, just let them guess and die after saying that sentence. But today I don't want to play this game with you, you are very important." The catwoman said terrifying words in a soft voice, which naturally made people worry about her mental state, if these words were from the heart, not some kind of disguise.
The rat man felt a little headache. He couldn't guess the logic in the other person's words and didn't know what the so-called importance meant. It seemed that nothing was necessary for him. He did not have any unique skills, and he could not even condense his energy. Confusion will cause anxiety, and anxiety will be captured and become fun for others. Some people just like to see others' pain, even if it is not beneficial to him.
"You look very distressed, it's better to put down those suspicions first. Because if you continue to show this expression, I will be unable to help but kill you." She played with the flying knife and let the tip of the knife dance between her fingers.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Jerry asked in a low voice. He seemed to have no choice but to rely on the other party's strength to save his life in a hurry. But if that's the case, why did he not release the hilt of the knife when he reached behind his waist? Is he going to kill this aggressive cat with a flying knife, or kill someone else? A neat suicide is also a compulsory course for many assassins.
Seeing the Rat Man mentioning this matter on his own initiative, she showed a subtle expression on her face, as if she regarded this as begging for mercy. "Actually, this matter is very simple. It's just a trick of those nobles. There is a guy who wants to kill a woman. I have found her. You just need to approach her and find an opportunity to kill her. As for the reward, I can not only spare your life, but also give you some shiny gold coins. How cost-effective."
Killing is unexpected, but reasonable. Think about it carefully, what else can the transaction between two killers besides their own lives and the lives of others? The question is, why do you want him to kill, and you also specifically stated the conditions for killing them after getting close. It is like saying that the woman who is going to be killed will not be suspicious of Jerry. But is there such a person in this city?
"Is there anything special about that woman? You can't do it yourself, you have to let me do it so much trouble." The inexplicable task aroused Jerry's curiosity. In fact, as a professional assassin, he shouldn't have inquired about such things. However, he was not voluntarily accepted this task anyway, so there was nothing to worry about asking a few more questions. Besides, he really didn't want to be kept in the dark by the other party.
