“Yo~ Why did someone tear off most of this guy’s neck? Who did it? Someone actually stole business from me.” His voice wasn’t light or heavy, but rather considered to be a higher pitch among male voices, with a fresh and youthful aura. It was Asimu’s voice that Ji Huan was familiar with.
However, at this moment, this person was speaking terrifying words in that same fresh and youthful voice.
“Just to confirm, if I cut off the other half of his neck now, will his head still be counted as mine?”
“…” Ah Jin remained silent as he stared at the demon lying on the ground. Then he slowly said: “I will add another commission. Take me and this guy to Yefar.” He pointed to the bloody demon on the ground.
The original stench in the shack, coupled with the smell of blood on this demon, made the smell here even worse.
“Ah! Ah!” And in Ji Huan’s arms, Hei Dan suddenly called out.
Ji Huan then realised that Hei Dan had turned his head at some point. He had been too surprised just now, and as soon as he released his hand that was pressing on the little demon’s head, the little guy probably turned around during this time.
Perhaps because he had withstood the stench for too long, or perhaps because he was too happy to see his favourite Mr. Asimu, but Hei Dan, who was tightly covering his nose before, suddenly took his paws away from his nose with a “swish”, and then lifted them to greet Asimu.
But Asimu on the other side couldn’t see him.
Fortunately, Asimu on the other side couldn’t see him.
However, Mr. Asimu still had a smile on his face. He seemed to like to smile very much, and this smile, which was not much different from usual, was regarded by Hei Dan as a greeting, making him satisfied as he put down his little paw.
But looking at it this way, everything in front of him is indeed a dream – Asimu’s reaction just now confirmed this again.
No way, the scene in front of him is too real. Ji Huan could smell the air in the room, could see the decaying flesh on Ah Jin’s body, and he could also see the blood vessels wriggling in the middle of the remaining small piece of flesh left on the neck of that demon…..
It’s all too real!
However, no matter what Ji Huan thought in his heart, the scene in front of him still continued.
“Take you to Yefar? Hey — I’m an assassin, not a courier! I don’t provide delivery services.” Asimu’s raised his eyebrows again. He seemed to like raising his left eyebrow like this all the time .
“Your ability is very suitable for express delivery, isn’t it? The price is the same as the last time, and you won’t suffer any losses.” Ah Jin said calmly.
“Oh?” Asimu seemed to think for a moment, but soon, he raised his eyebrows again. This time, probably because he thought of something surprising, both of his eyebrows were raised!
“Wait a minute – Yefar? You just said you want me to take you to Yefar?! Did I hear you right? That place is very scary! I heard that the demons there are super terrifying—”
“I am from Yefar, and so is he.” Ah Jin said lightly.
Then, Asimu’s voice stopped suddenly.
Touching his chin, he looked at Ah Jin and then at the demon below: “It’s really scary.”
An invisible smile appeared on the faces of Ah Jin and the bloody demon on the ground at the same time.
Coupled with the current appearance of the two people, the effect was really too….terrifying.
“Take us there. I will give you the same amount as him. You won’t lose anything by receiving the double payment.” The upside-down head suddenly spoke, his appearance at the moment with that smile on his face felt…..really strange.
“The person I chased to kill is paying me to do something for him…. it’s the first time I encountered something like this.” Looking at the demon on the ground, Asimu scratched his head.
Looking back and forth between the two demons, he finally agreed to the task.
“Okay, since you two have already negotiated, I will take you both to Yefar. It happens that I have been to many places, except for Yefar, so I can just take a sightseeing trip this time.”
Immediately afterwards, Asimu stretched out his hands towards the two demons at the same time. When Ah Jin and the other demon grabbed his hands, Ji Huan saw an incredible scene appear around him!
The original scenery around him instantly became blurred, as if it had been cut into small “pieces” one after another, blurring the space.
Blurred, rotated, intertwined… The surrounding scene quickly turned into a chaotic space.
The scene in front of him was too amazing. However, having experienced this kind of thing when he came here with Ah Jin from Bade Town, Ji Huan almost immediately recognized what this behaviour was at this moment — transfer.
The space they are currently walking through is like an unstable path in space.
Just like the path Ah Jin opened when he arrived here from Bade Town. In principle there is no road in front of them in this space, and they are just walking in chaos. Mr. Asimu just brought them into this space.
And to protect them…
Ji Huan suddenly noticed that it wasn’t the space itself that caused their vision to blur, but some almost grey transparent patterns.
Countless patterns were stacked together, ultimately blurring the surrounding scenery.
After carefully observing the patterns for a long while, Ji Huan suddenly realised that the patterns in front of him were very familiar:
Isn’t this pattern similar to the pattern on Hei Dan’s hair ties?
Ji Huan was stunned.
Mr. Asimu was obviously struggling as he carefully identified the path along the way. They experienced many severe spatial oscillations, and just as Ji Huan’s face turned pale and he felt nauseous, they finally landed in a garbage dump. Asimu immediately wiped the sweat of his face:
“Is this it? Ah! Why is there a garbage dump?” Asimu thought he had arrived at the wrong place.
“We are here, thank you for your hard work.” Ah Jin looked calm.
“Thank you.” The demon covered in blood also had a calm expression.
“The second task has been completed. Let me also complete the first one so that you can transfer the money together?” Pulling out the hairband from his hair like an iron wire, Asimu held both ends of the thread in his hands, while staring at the demon’s neck that was about to be broken.
As a professional killer with ethics, even if he makes money from his target, he will not give up pursuing him.
“You go to Yefar first. I still have something to say to…your employer.” Holding onto his own head, the dying demon turned his head upside down and said to Asimu.
Not sure whether Ah Jin revealed his name to Asimu, but he did not reveal any information about Ah Jin during the conversation. After doing something wrong once, he eventually became cautious.
However, Ah Jin’s expression remained cold.
As he glanced at his employer and target, Asimu saw Ah Jin nod slightly, so he turned around and left.
Then, Ah Jin and that demon sat on the smelly garbage heap, and the sun was about to go down.
As the sun was setting, Ji Huan stood beside them holding Hei Dan in his arms.
“Ah Jin, find me a cemetery.” Holding his head tightly, the demon continued.
“Hmph – didn’t those guys already choose a cemetery for you?” Ah Jin didn’t look at him.
“Ha! But I don’t like it there. I want to be buried where I grew up.”
“After staying outside for so long, I found that I still like this place the most. The demons here are all good ones, not as scary as those demons outside.”
“You’re probably the only one who would say that.”
“It’s the truth.”
The two of them were silent again.
Ji Huan looked at the demon’s face whose breath was getting weaker with every second.
The exposed trachea was drying out and began to shrink.
However, he still chatted with Ah Jin.
“But there can’t be a cemetery here. Anything with value will be dug up and reused. Your body is no exception. Even if I bury your body underground, it will be dug up and eaten by those little demons soon.” Ah Jin continued.
“Ha! That’s right, we used to do this when we were young.” The demon actually laughed out loud, his voice hoarse, like broken bellows.
The sun has already set below the horizon.
Night is approaching.
In the darkness, Ji Huan heard the demon speak again.
“You are so smart, find me a cemetery that won’t be dug up and eaten, please.”
His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of imperceptible weakness.
“Please.” He repeated.
Ah Jin didn’t look back.
Just as Ji Huan thought he would ignore it until the demon died, Ah Jin suddenly took action.
Grabbing the demon, he suddenly strode towards a direction.
His speed was so fast that the demon held his head even tighter. Ji Huan originally thought that he would not be able to catch up with Ah Jin’s speed, but he kept following Ah Jin like a shadow.
He watched as Ah Jin called Asimu and gave him another task. He watched Ah Jin go to the luxury area that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. He broke into a house, and in an instant, dozens of strong demons surrounded him.
However, Ji Huan did not see Ah Jin take any action, and those demons ran away. The next second, Ah Jin sat in the innermost office of the house with a demon covered in blood.
“Hello, what can I do for you?” The demon behind the desk has a regular appearance, with a strong and square chin.
“I want to buy the house No. 17 in the Green Shade Area.” Ah Jin said calmly.
“But that house already has an owner.” The demon immediately flipped through the files.
“No, the owner of that house will die in ten minutes.” Ah Jin said calmly.
“It is illegal to kill demons in Yefar. I don’t think you are such a lawless person.” The expression of the demon behind the desk became even more serious.
“I am not going to kill him, and besides, he won’t die in Yefar.” Ah Jin’s tone didn’t fluctuate at all, his dark eyes fixed on the demon across from him.
The two people stared at each other like this for ten minutes.
Then, Ah Jin’s phone rang.
Putting down the phone, Ah Jin said, “Alright, that house has no owner now.”
The demon behind the desk immediately retrieved the file, and when he saw that the mark belonging to the homeowner on it had disappeared, his expression finally changed and he glanced at Ah Jin in surprise. Not daring to look any further, he stood up from behind the desk.
“Please come with me and complete the transfer procedures immediately.”
Then, soon, they arrived at house No. 17 in the Green Shade Area.
This is a house that Ji Huan is extremely familiar with. He has lived here since he came to this world, and the strong sense of familiarity makes his hair stand on end.
Hei Dan also recognized the house, and he looked very happy. His little paw pointed at the door, wanting to go home and sleep.
But Ah Jin and the others were standing in the yard.
The demon whose head was about to be severed was finally about to die.
Looking at the place Ah Jin had chosen for him, a very terrifying smile appeared on his face.
“Hahahahahahaha~ I’m very satisfied with this cemetery!” He let out a hoarse laughter.
And then—
“Ah Jin, please agree to my last request in this life.”
“Kill me!”
“Break my neck. It’s really painful to keep it from breaking! I can’t bear it anymore!!!!!!” The demon suddenly let out a loud roar, and almost at the same time——
There was sudden thunder in the sky!
Immediately afterwards, the heavy rain poured down.
“It really hurts so much to prevent my neck from breaking constantly! I can’t bear it anymore!!!!!!” Only when Ah Jin and he were alone, the demon finally screamed regardless of its image.
“They took away my core. I can never get better again!!!! I can’t stand it anymore!”
“Ahhhhh~ I don’t want to die from the pain! If it hurts anymore, I can’t help but want to kill myself! But suicide is something only a coward will do… But I don’t want to die by the hands of an unknown assassin either!”
The demon on the ground rolled around holding his head. There was no need to hide it, and he finally exposed all his pain in front of Ah Jin.
And in front of Ji Huan.
Hei Dan was scared, and he secretly buried his head in his uncle’s arms.
Ji Huan hugged him tightly.
With his thin lips pursued, his eyes were fixed on Ah Jin’s face.
In the darkness, Ji Huan strangely saw Ah Jin’s expression clearly.
His face remained expressionless.
He just looked down at the demon’s embarrassed appearance who rolled at his feet and tightly hugged his calf in its dying struggle.
“It’s really not what I said! You have to believe me!” The demon yelled, and he started to say words that Ji Huan couldn’t understand.
“Didn’t you get that kind of flower? The one that’s called the ‘millennium old heart’? Plant this kind of flower on me. When it blooms, you will know that what I am telling you is the truth!”
“Now! Kill me —” The demon suddenly jumped up, its expression became extremely terrifying, and he jumped towards Ah Jin’s direction.
In the darkness, Ah Jin’s expression remained unchanged.
He didn’t even lift eyelids.
However, Ji Huan saw his hand move.
Quickly and accurately, he grabbed the demon from the direction where it jumped, and the next second——
Ji Huan heard the sound of flesh and blood breaking.
The last piece of flesh and blood was severed.
Blood vessels, trachea…
All severed.
The demon’s body fell heavily on the ground, and his last expression turned into a strange smile…
The head with a strange smile was caught in Ah Jin’s hand.
