Chapter 945: Confrontation in the Dark

In the toilet compartment, Shi Ya was holding the jade slip and roaring to the other end with trembling.

"Didn't you say you wanted to find someone to hand over to me? When will it arrive?"

"I...I can't hold on anymore!"

On the screen, wave-like signals continued to flash, and the numbers symbolizing the communication time continued to rise, but the unknown contact person never heard anything.

"Hey, talk!" After a long time, Shi Ya yelled in a collapse, "You rarely accept a message, why don't you talk? What do you want me?"

During this period, he had to contact the organization almost every day, but the people on the other side were in a state of constant pretending to be dead. Today, he finally received a reply from them, asking him to take poison to the toilet and wait. Someone would come to hand over the task with him, so he sneaked over and waited. But now he has been there for a long time, but the organization has left him here again!

Every minute and every second of waiting was torment. Shi Ya wiped the sweat from her head with her sleeve and was about to ask again, suddenly, the toilet door that had been closed by him made a sudden "creak" sound. Someone came in!

Not sure whether the examiner or other candidates came, Shi Ya didn't dare to be careless and immediately stopped the voice, worried that the other party would reply at this time, and even hurriedly ended the communication. When he raised his head again and saw that the person coming was Jian Zhiheng, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shi Ya, can you talk to you?" However, what Jian Zhiheng said immediately made his heartstrings tense again. Then, without waiting for Shi Ya to react, he walked into the compartment adjacent to him.

Through a thin partition, the two stood face to face. Shi Ya's throat moved slightly and swallowed a saliva with a "gulp".

"I discovered before," Jian Zhiheng spoke gently, "Our room is under your desk, and the floor has been corroded a large piece. It is the new floor I have found for someone to change."

Shi Ya blurted out: "That's the way to me..." When he realized the hidden information in the other party's words, he suddenly became shocked and lost his face, "What have you said to them?"

Seeing his reaction, Jian Zhiheng's already positive guess was confirmed by ten thousand. His expression became even more solemn.

"Shi Ya, you are not a poison expert at all. Why do you hide such a powerful poison? The only explanation is..." He took a deep breath, "You are the killer on the field, right?"

Shi Ya was poked at the center of the headache point, and she didn't care that anyone else would hear it in the corridor, and she roared madly on the spot: "What are you talking nonsense! You... Look at me like this, do I look like a killer? Is there a killer like me? Ah?"

Indeed, with his current hysterical state, he looks more like a lunatic than a killer.

"Why should I kill Gu Mingxu..." Shi Ya's hands hit the partition again and again, sweating profusely, "I, I am just a student! I don't even dare to kill a chicken! I, I..."

Seeing that he was excited, Jian Zhiheng hurriedly comforted him: "Shi Ya, calm down first. If I really have malicious intentions towards you, I will report to the examiner directly! Instead of talking to you here."

He also knew that Shi Ya was not a bad person. It was precisely because he was timid and pure in nature that the knife on the field did not go straight to the vital point. The wounds left on his arm were not deep, and the toxins that penetrated into the blood were limited. It was precisely because of this that Gu Mingxu survived by chance.

He is not the mastermind, nor is he a killer who wastes his life for money. He is just used. Therefore, he should not bear the same punishment as the mastermind and the killer. But at least, Jane Zhiheng must first convince him to admit his mistakes.

"Think about it carefully. They are holding your handle now, making you afraid to tell us the truth, but when your value is over, won't they kill you to silence you?"

Shi Ya suddenly felt shocked, and the cold sweat that had burst out deepened. Could it be that... the person sent by the organization to hand over was actually coming to kill him?

"I can probably guess what you are worried about," Jian Zhiheng sighed, "Is it because of your family affairs? If you need money, we can help you together. If you are worried that someone will take revenge on your family, you should say it earlier so that we can report to the Tiangong Gate and protect them. In any case, we are the ones who are really good for you!"

Through the baffle, he stepped forward again, "Shiya, can you believe me?"

Shi Ya looked at his earnest face and thought that Jian Zhiheng, whom he knew during this period, was indeed a righteous good friend. Maybe... he is really the only person who can help him...

After pondering for a while, Shi Ya opened her mouth and was about to ask for help, but at this moment, a crow suddenly flew past the window, shaking the trees rustling, and at the same time casting a shadow on the window railing.

Shi Ya shuddered, and his pupils slowly dilated. Several intermittent scenes floated like lightning in his mind. They were patients lying on a stretcher and being carried by a doctor to run, and others were anxiously questioning, and a lot of transactions... and all of this turned into an old face next to lightning.

He slowly raised his head, his skin was like dry bark. His eyes were filled with a bright light, like a blade. His lips opened and closed, warning himself to complete the task and never reveal the organization's affairs. His eyes and his threats were all in the bone-to-blade. That thunderstorm night still often appeared in Shi Ya's nightmare.

No...the group of people have unknown origins and great supernatural powers. They must have been watching themselves secretly. They know the address of the clinic and helped pay the medical expenses. If they betray them...even if they are now in the Tiangong Gate and cannot move themselves, they can take revenge...the people who are still staying outside... No, no!

After a few breaths, Shi Ya's eyes became fierce again: "Stop talking about it! I said nothing, just don't! No evidence, you are slandering me, do you know?"

"By the way..." Shi Ya took a few quick breaths and suddenly raised her hand and pointed at Jian Zhiheng, "It must be you, you are the killer, so you want to put the blame on me! Get out of here now, otherwise I will report to the examiner and say you are calling for a thief!"

"Shi Ya..." Jian Zhiheng was going to persuade him again, but Shi Ya had already punched the partition hard: "Have you heard it? Get out!"

Jian Zhiheng was helpless and knew that there would be no result if he persuaded him now. He could only gently push open the door of the compartment and walk down the steps. Before leaving the door, he turned around again and looked at Shi Ya deeply.

All I received was the other party's grin and his eyebrows were glaring.

The toilet door was pushed open and closed again.

Shi Ya leaned against the wall like a burst, took a few deep breaths, and couldn't help but raise the jade slip in her hand again.

In order to avoid the long nights and dreams, I still have to find the handover person tonight. When the poison is sent out, there will be no evidence of the crime in my hand. At that time, even if Jian Zhiheng doubts him anymore, he will not be able to do anything to himself!

On the screen, the communication application flashed unstoppable.

The signal column is long and short, which always affects Shi Ya's mood.

Suddenly, the chandelier above the toilet went out without warning!

The entire toilet suddenly fell into darkness.

In the compartment, I couldn't see my five fingers, and even the jade slip that I had been holding tightly was not lit.

Is it...a power outage?

No… Someone turned off the light!

The rhythmic footsteps sounded the next moment.

Step, step.

Step by step, approaching his side.

Who is it...?!

Shi Ya's hair all stood up. As the silent waiting was waiting, the "squeak" next door seemed particularly harsh.

Someone entered the compartment again!

He came for himself!

Shi Ya held her breath and silently lowered her body to avoid being seen by the other party.

Although this is a waste of time, in this darkness, you can't see anything clearly.

Immediately afterwards, the baffle behind him slowly rose. It was the mysterious visitor who adjusted the height of the baffle.

This is the characteristic of the bathroom of the Ditang. The height of the partition can be adjusted by the candidates themselves. After all, each person has different personalities. Some people will feel scared when they stay in an oversealed compartment, while others hope that the partition is high enough to avoid someone peeping from the neighbors or turning to their own side. In order to take care of the mood of these two types of candidates at the same time, the Ditang has made such a design.

But why did the other party raise the partition? Didn’t he come to find him? While Shi Yazheng was confused, a cold voice sounded from the next door.

"I'm the one who came to hand over to you and give me the things."

The sound seemed a little familiar. But for a moment, Shi Ya couldn't remember where he had heard it.

Perhaps the atmosphere was too weird, Shi Ya's vigilance had not yet disappeared, and he retorted habitually: "What handover? You are also from Jian Zhiheng, do you think I will be fooled?"

The voice was still cold and cold, as if it had a little more impatient: "You are really troublesome. I am not as idle as you. Didn't you contact the organization yourself and ask them to send someone to hand over to you? Hurry up and give me the things, I don't want to be discovered after staying for a long time."

Shi Ya believed him 50% of the time when he could accurately say "organization" and "handover".

"Are you really here to hand over?" He held the bottle in his hand tightly, feeling that it seemed like a piece of charcoal in his hand, which had burned him continuously for many days. If possible, of course he also hoped to hand over as soon as possible, but...

"No...no," Shi Ya raised her voice sensitively, "What evidence do you have!"

The voice was obviously full of contempt: "I have never seen someone like you. Listen," then he lowered his voice and gently spit out a few numbers.

The numbers are very simple, but they are very thunderous when they hear Shi Ya's ears.

Because, they are the street signs, ward numbers, and the number of medical expenses of the clinic!

"That's right, that's right..." Shi Ya was so excited that she burst into tears, "It's really you! Do you know how hard you have made me wait!"

"No..." Just as he was about to put down his guard, Shi Ya remembered another concern, "How did you come in? Are you also a candidate? You are threatened by the organization to do things?"

He could feel that if they were facing each other, the owner of the voice might have been so irritable that he was about to hit someone.

"I know why you failed. The last time I answered you, yes, I am a candidate. That's why I chose this place. You don't want me to know your identity, and I don't want you to know my identity. Now I can't see anything here, give me the things, and after I go out, we still don't know anyone."

After hearing what he said, Shi Ya felt relieved.

Since you know that he has the same concerns as you, you are not completely passive. Moreover, as a person being used by the organization, you should be timid in this way, which is a reasonable state!

Turning off the lights to trade is indeed convenient for both parties, and he is more thoughtful than himself.

"Then... I'll give it to you..." Shi Ya plucked up her courage and lowered her waist in a very difficult position, and handed the poison bottle over from the bottom of the partition with difficulty, "You have to be careful to pick it up!"

His hands were already hanging in the air with a little soreness, and finally he felt that someone had caught the medicine bottle from the other end.

In an instant, the two of them had a brief contact with each other's fingers. Shi Ya only felt that the other person's fingers were as cold as his. Unlike himself, the palms of his palms had already been wet with sweat.

Although it was a rare opportunity, Shi Ya did not want to grab the other party's hand. After all, he himself didn't want to reveal his identity. He would just trade it in a dark way, which was the most suitable one.

After a while, the other party's voice came over again. It sounded like he had already stood up.

"Okay, I got the stuff. I will do the next thing, this task has nothing to do with you."

After a pause, he added a rare sentence.

"Maybe it's because you're not doing your job well, and this time the organization raised the price. Maybe I should thank you even more."

Shi Ya suddenly felt aroused in her heart and asked tentatively: "What is the next task...?"

If the price is really increased... If the task this time is not difficult, maybe he can consider doing another vote... earn enough medical expenses and completely break away from the organization!

The compartment was silent for a long time.

After all, it was blatantly "grabbing business". Just when Shi Ya almost thought that the other party would not answer again, the voice coldly spit out a few words.

"Assassinate Gu Mingxu."

"Why is Gu Mingxu assassinating again?" Shi Ya was stunned, "Isn't it already...?"
