From the Life of Killer X

Chapter 9

The footsteps are getting faster and faster, and it took less than 10 minutes to cover the road of more than one kilometer.

Axiu looked up at the road disappearing behind the mountain, thought for a while, and decided to go up the mountain.

This mountain is a rocky mountain, with jagged rocks, loose and loose, as if a thunder could shake them down.But in fact, these strangely shaped rocks are rooted like weeds at the bottom of the mountain.Axiu quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, found a hiding place, leaned against a big rock, and cast his gaze down the mountain.

His intuition turned out to be correct.

At the border of Area A, that is, on a stretch of flat land, a pair of well-armed soldiers were guarding the road. Yellow roadblock signs were set up on the road, and a few luxury cars were parked not far away.The soldiers are ready to fight, all of them look resolute.

It seems that it is impossible to rush to Area A.Axiu thought to himself, now, the military has completely sealed off Area A, but he didn't expect the action to be so fast.

Fortunately, Ke Rong and him left Area A because of Ke Lan's incident, otherwise they would be trapped in this chaotic area and fall into a more dangerous situation.

After observing for a while, Ah Xiu returned to where Ke Rong was.

"How is it?" Ke Rong asked.

Ash shook his head and said nothing.

Ke Rong understood what Ah Xiu wanted to express behind his silence. He was silent for a moment, then sighed, and said, "Oh, it seems that we should leave for now."

Axiu noticed that there was a barely visible trace of reluctance in Ke Rong's eyes.

"Hey, buddies, you are back again. I just said that the situation is not good now, and you can't go to Area A even if you want to."

When they returned to the basin, the original car owner was still puffing on the grass, showing no intention of running for his life.

Ke Rong rolled down the car window: "Why don't you leave?"

The owner of the car shrugged and said dissatisfiedly: "Damn, my car is out of gas, no, it's waiting for someone to pick it up."

Ke Rong: "..."

The car owner's eyes were shining brightly: "Why don't you lend me some fuel first?"

Ke Rong smiled, didn't speak, just stared at the car owner.

The owner of the car was so hairy, he waved his hands again and again, and said with a smile: "I'm joking, I'm joking, don't worry about it."

Ke Rong closed the window again.

He looked at Ah Xiu who was silent and seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, "Where are you going now, Ah Xiu?"

Axiu thought for a moment: "Go back to the west of Beijing."

"...?"

Axiu replied: "Go to the west of Beijing temporarily and wait until the situation stabilizes a little, then come back and observe."

Ke Rong responded silently: "That's the only way to go."

At the same time, in a luxurious villa somewhere in District A.

A young master in casual black clothes was leaning on the huge sofa, his feet gracefully crossed, his handsome face was so cold that the people around him shivered.

"...Right now, the other party is standing still, and it may not be long before..." A man in a black suit bent over, lowered his eyebrows and began to report the situation.Seeing his boss's cold gaze, he felt his feet tremble uncontrollably. He hadn't seen such murderous calm but terrifying gaze for a long time.

Qing Yuan snorted softly and asked, "What about people from other organizations?"

The man in the suit continued: "They are united, and they seem to be plotting to resist, and want to seek assistance from our Qing family."

Qing Yuan sneered, flashed a mocking look, and ordered: "Tell the people below that the Qing clan will not be involved in this muddy water for the time being."

"But……"

"Nothing, we need to wait and see the situation first."

After his subordinates retreated, Qing Yuan restrained his cold expression. He looked down at the message on his phone, which was replied by his only friend, and said to himself:

"It's a good thing you have already left Area A, Ke Xiaorong."

On the other side, on the empty road, a fast-moving car suddenly braked.In the passenger seat, due to inertia, the man's body could not stop leaning forward.

"Ash, why did you stop?"

After stabilizing his body, Ke Rong questioned.

Axiu's face was expressionless, but Ke Rong saw a little solemnity in his eyes, and asked even more surprised: "What's the matter, Axiu?"

"...You drive to the west of Jingxi first." Ah Xiu said.

"What happened?"

Axiu: "There are some personal matters that need to be dealt with."

Ke Rong: "..." He silently stared at Ah Xiu's handsome face, and after a while, he raised his usual gentle smile, but said helplessly, "Okay then, be careful."

……

Watching Ke Rong drive away gradually, Ah Xiu's expression gradually became cold.He looked around and saw only an empty road and stretches of rolling stone forests.The breeze blew over, slightly raising the corners of his clothes.

Nine: Transition

"Ash, where are you?"

"...Is something wrong?"

"Don't be so cold, I just want to tell you something."

"No, I already know."

"...Well, you still have such a temper. After all you say, your assassination mission has not been revoked, and someone has taken over the commission. You should be careful yourself, hang up."

Standing on the empty road, Ah Xiu lowered his eyes in silence.He found a direction and wandered away.In his memory, about ten kilometers away from where he was, there was a small town with less than [-] households.Axiu had been to that town before, and he could feel the lingering tranquility in the town.

Axiu's foot speed gradually accelerated, and he reached the small town not long after.

Without squinting, he went straight to the only guest house in the town.Due to the relatively remote location of the town, outsiders rarely come here.Seeing the strange face of Axiu, many residents on the road looked at Axiu curiously, but quickly lowered their heads and went about their own affairs.

Axiu approached the simple but clean guest house, and said to the boss sitting behind the wooden table, "One room."

Apparently, the young boss seldom saw strange visitors, and a simple and honest smile appeared on his dark face. He quickly registered in crooked handwriting, then stood up and led Ah Xiu into the second floor.

Stepping on the wooden stairs, Ah Xiu followed the boss into a simple small room while listening to the creaking sound in silence.There is only a small bed, a brown bedside table, and an empty wooden table in the room.As soon as the door was opened, a damp smell gushed out. It was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.Although the air is relatively old, but the house is very clean.

"Guest, take a good rest. If you want convenience, the toilet is in the backyard on the first floor. We can't do night market here. If you have nothing to do at night, go to bed early..." The young boss kept telling him before leaving.

Ah Xiu didn't bother, and listened to the boss's ramblings without saying a word.Maybe because he realized that he was talking too much, the boss smiled awkwardly, and went downstairs with more to say.

Sitting on the hard wooden bed, Ah Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was lost in thought.

At this moment, Ah Xiu clearly realized that he had fallen into a trap.

From the moment he accepted the task of assassinating Major General Chang Fu to the real chaotic situation that Area A is now facing, those invisible hands seem to be stirring wantonly behind the scenes.Moreover, he had to admit that he was already a part of it.

He was targeted for assassination.

No matter what, he had to solve all this alone first, get out of the ring, and then consider things in Area A.Otherwise, troubles will continue to come up later.

Thinking of this, he connected the cell phone of the intermediary Alai.

"Yo, it's rare, you actually call me?"

Axiu got straight to the point: "I want to know who issued the mission to assassinate Chang Fu."

"...Hey, in my line of work, you can't divulge customer information." Alai wiped his sweat silently on the other side. After saying this, he felt a cold murderous aura coming from the phone.

A Xiu snorted coldly: "I still don't know your nature."

"...Don't be so pretentious, it's not like you don't know, it's impossible for me to investigate the background information of any client without authorization. Besides, I have no reason to do so." Alai said with a guilty conscience.

Axiu: "You let me accidentally fall into a certain trap, is that enough reason?"

Alai: "..." I was wronged for a while, and I was speechless.

"That's it, I want to know in a day." Ah Xiu hung up the phone, his lips pursed slightly

He already had a faint guess in his heart, and the reason why he asked Alai was just to confirm his own thoughts.

Ah Xiu secretly sighed in his heart, and suddenly thought of Ke Rong who was driving to the west of Beijing alone, and he didn't know how he was doing now.Originally, Ah Xiu planned to accompany Ke Rong to the west of Beijing to temporarily wait for the news of Area A to change, but at the moment when he was driving on the road, he had a feeling of being followed, as cold as a poisonous snake.

It was exactly the same feeling as when I met an assassin in Area A.

It cannot affect Ke Rong.

So he came here alone, quietly waiting for a certain assassin, and then solved the matter.

The quietness of this town was beyond Axiu's expectation. When night fell, almost no households went out. There were only the whistling of the wind and the occasional barking of dogs in the streets and alleys.The light in the room in the guest house was a dim yellow color, which filled the whole room with an ambiguous atmosphere.The soundproofing of the room is not good, and Ah Xiu can even hear the snoring next door, but he doesn't care.

"Tell you some bad news, Axiu, I can't find out the truth about the client.
