【One】
The iron-gray sky was cold and low, the cold wind brought humid air, and there was no one on the empty road.
A man in red was walking slowly on the official road into the city.
His face is fair without a trace of blood, a pair of dark black eyes are as cold as a pool of ice, but the end of his eyes is provocatively raised upwards, his thin dark red lips are charming even if he doesn't smile, and his waist-length black hair is covered with quilts. A red rope was loosely tied up, and his steps seemed to carry a lingering smell of blood.
Two waist-high puppets followed behind him, their wooden faces were weird and stiff, one smiling and one crying, but their eyes were extremely lifelike, flexible and black and white, just like a real person.
The low whistling of the cold new wind, accompanied by the "creaking" sound of the joints when the puppet walked, seemed more and more bleak on the empty official road.
If anyone in the world sees it, they will definitely exclaim.
This man is a puppeteer.
He is a person who makes a living by killing, no one knows his real name, only know that he is dressed in red, has a treacherous personality, kills people occasionally, and is unpredictable.
Unlike other people in this industry, the puppeteer has never had any fixed point of contact. If you want to entrust him to kill, you can only rely on luck.
As long as you can meet him, he can accept your invitation and end a life for you. Of course, the premise is that you can pay the price that the puppeteer asks—sometimes a thousand taels of gold, sometimes just a jug of sake, sometimes It is a pair of eyes, and sometimes even a life.
The puppeteer never misses.
"Seeing the two boys who are happy and resentful is like seeing the king of Hades come out."
Everyone said so.
A few drops of rain fell and landed on the puppet master's black hair.
The puppet master looked up at the sky, his long and narrow eyes were as dark as ice.
It's going to rain.
He thought for a while, then flicked his wrist slightly, and a few strands of filaments were entwined around his wrist. The two dolls trembled, and then ran away "creakingly". Bewitching and strange, he walked towards the city.

Restaurants in the city.
The wind mixed with drizzle blew the wine flag violently, and the raindrops gradually became heavier.
The sparse pedestrians on the road hurried to all directions, only the wine shop was still brightly lit and noisy.
A man in a crescent white robe was sitting in a private room on the second floor. From that angle, the entire restaurant could be seen.
His slender fingers were unconsciously playing with the white jade wine glass, and a pair of evil and gloomy eyes aimlessly looked at the bustling downstairs. pressure.
Around his waist was a crystal-clear Nine-Dragon Pendant, which became more and more radiant under the candlelight, and the word "Mu" was engraved in small seal script on it.
This man is obviously the third son of the current emperor, Li Mu.
Opposite him sat a few men with extraordinary appearance, chatting with each other happily, and from a curtain at the end of the private room, there was the elegant sound of a piano.
Sitting next to Li Mu was the prime minister's son-in-law Zhang Xize, who was talking about his experience in appreciating beauties.
"...Speaking of beauties, they must use jade as their muscles and bones, and ice and snow as their soul..."
Li Mu listened with a lack of interest, and a pair of deep black eyes wandered among the crowd downstairs.
Suddenly, a red figure came into view.
A man in red was sitting quietly in the corner of the wine shop. There was only a simple white jade jug and a wine glass on the table. His white fingertips compared the fine jade somewhat inferior.
The thin dark red lips were moistened by the transparent wine, making them look even more glamorous and attractive.
The appearance is peerless.
The man seemed to be aware of his gaze, and glanced over indifferently, the corners of his eyes raised a strange arc, but those dark and gloomy eyes were as cold as a pool of ice.
Li Mu's heart tightened.
The cold look in his eyes made Li Mu warm up, as if a fire was burning in his internal organs, and as if a fluffy feather was gently scratching the tip of his heart, it was really difficult.
Li Mu felt his mouth was dry, so he raised his hand and drank all the wine in the glass.
Young Master Zhang next to him seemed to sense something was wrong with him, turned his head, and followed his gaze.
Li Mu frowned, subconsciously he didn't want others to see this person.
However, the man in red has lowered his head again, quietly staring at the wine glass in his hand, as if the eyes cast on him just now were just his illusion.
Zhang Xize looked at it, and couldn't help being stunned, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he winked at Li Mu teasingly: "Why, did you like it?"
Before Li Mu could answer, Zhang Xize continued to say in a tone of exclamation:
"Tsk tsk tsk, the beauty is not shallow! Such a top-notch beauty, even the young master who has seen countless beauties, I can't help but my heart skips a beat, but since you are the one who fell in love with her first, I will let it go to the young master."
Li Mu sensed something was wrong with the small tone, frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
"Huh? You don't know?" Zhang Xize raised his eyebrows, his gentle and handsome face showed an expression of disbelief, "Look at his wrist."
Li Mu heard the words and looked around, only to see that the man's slender and white wrists were wrapped in circles of red silk threads.
Zhang Xize raised the corners of his mouth frivolously, and whispered in Li Mu's ear: "This restaurant is a place where dignitaries gather, since it's just for fun, how can we do without some famous actresses? So, anyone who is clean and beautiful The actresses all have a red ribbon wrapped around their wrists."
After finishing speaking, he frowned, and added: "But...it's the first time I've seen one with red silk thread."
Li Mu's face was cloudy and uncertain.Although what Zhang Xize said was cryptic, he completely understood what he meant.
Prostitution.
A dark fire rose in his body.
He only felt that the meridians all over his body were being bitten by poisonous flames, an inexplicable anger mixed with the flames of desire, and finally ignited into a prairie fire.
Li Mu put the wine glass down heavily, turned around and went downstairs, heading straight for the man in red.

In a corner of the noisy restaurant, the puppeteer sat quietly alone, as if there was an indissoluble bloody smell around him, cold and evil.
On the table in front of him was a white jade wine glass.
The wine glass is white and delicate, and a puddle of amber wine is shallowly filled inside, exuding a strong and clear aroma.
He picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Then put it down again.
The long and straight eyelashes drooped down, covering the deep cold light in the eyes, and imprinting a coquettish arc on the cold and pale cheeks.
No matter how fragrant and rich the jade liquid wine is, it will become as pale as white water in his mouth.
It is not as good as blood, warm and sweet, with the temperature of the human body and the pulsation of life, full of vitality.
Under the captivating eyelashes like crow feathers, a murderous look flashed in the dark and gloomy eyes.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from far and near, and then stopped in front of his desk.
The puppet master raised his head, only to see the young man who had been staring at him before standing in front of him, with a pair of dark eyes flashing with a gloomy look.
Tsk, it looks like someone found it.
The puppeteer curled up her dark red thin lips, showing a bloody smile: "Name."
——Tell me, who do you want to kill.
The cold voice resounded in a low voice, with a bit of seductive hoarseness, like a jade stone hitting each other, or like a lover's pillow whispering.
Li Mu looked at the flirtatious red-clothed man in front of him, his eyes were a little straight, and his throat moved. Normally, he would never tell his real identity and name to the pets outside the house.
But... Seeing the black-haired man in red in front of him asking his name, he replied in a hoarse voice, "Li Mu, the name is Yunzhi."
The puppeteer frowned.
He asked who he was going to kill, why tell him the name of that person.
However, the desire for killing and blood in his heart became stronger and stronger, and instead of dwelling on these details, he replied in a deep voice, "Okay."
After that, he stroked his sleeve and stood up.
Li Mu was a little taken aback, he didn't expect this person to be so straightforward, and the tension in his heart that he was afraid of being rejected suddenly dissipated, followed by dull sex and... jealousy.
He evoked a cold and evil smile, his dark eyes looked at the puppeteer uncertainly.
"Come to my room."
After finishing speaking, he strode forward, his steps were windy, as if he was angry.
Now it was the puppet master's turn to be puzzled.
Isn't this deal already confirmed?Is there anything else he needs to know?Does this man not trust him?
Maybe there are some special requirements for the object this time, can't I say it in public?
The puppeteer has encountered many such situations.
For example, it is not surprising to ask him to bring back the other party's eyeballs or palms, or even some private organs.
After thinking about it, the sleeves of my teacher's robe flicked, covering the bright red silk thread on the wrist, and followed.
