Chapter 540: Chapter 93: Death of the Assassin_2

No matter what, he never expected that the opponent would suddenly attack at this time.

"Wait a minute, I..."

Pupupupu!

Although he just took medicine to restore some blood volume, being hit by a full burst of a Big Move at such close range instantly dropped his blood bar to zero.

Instinctively, Wu Ming reached for the shortcut key of the Instant Body Method, only to remember that he had already used that move.

In the blink of an eye, the screen was completely blood-red.

System prompt: You are dead.

Wu Ming’s fingers continued to press rapidly, surrounded by silence, with only the sound of his fingers tapping on the keyboard, until he finally recovered from the shock and anger, and stopped striking the keys.

He grabbed the headphones with trembling hands, and turned the volume up to the maximum.

"Why?" he asked calmly.

On the other end of YY, Fish That Don’t Eat Cats responded with an equally calm voice.

"Of course, it’s about getting paid. You’ve killed so many people, didn’t you ever think someone would put a bounty on you? Someone paid a lot of money for your life, so sorry, master."

"Impossible, we’ve been together for half a month, why would you..."

"This is what you taught me, you have to be extremely patient, waiting until the right moment, an hour, a day, a month, a year...

—Although I actually already knew all this, still, thanks anyway."

"You think you can kill me that easily? I am 12 levels higher than you!"

"This is what you taught me, players and BOSSes are different, their state fluctuates, even the strongest players have moments of weakness, and that’s the moment to strike—of course, I’ve actually known this all along."

Every time the opponent said she already knew, it was clearly a hint that he was nothing more than a clown playing with a big knife in front of Guan Yu.

This hidden mockery made Wu Ming unable to hold back any longer, and he burst into cursing.

"You really have the nerve, I was so kind to take you on quests, you f*cker."

"This is also what you taught me, don’t develop any feelings with the target, just think of it as acting, that’s the professional spirit of an assassin—although I knew that already, since you are my target, what do you have to complain about, hehehe."

That final light laugh revealed the other’s inner delight and excitement, making Wu Ming nearly spit out blood, his eyes nearly shooting flames as he stared at the screen.

Fury, regret, unwillingness... or rather, regret, Wu Ming was always a loner, only teaming up with others because the other party begged repeatedly and he thought he was unrivaled in strength, thinking that taking a newbie could provide some helping hands and relieve some boredom.

He never expected that a moment of relaxation would cost him his life.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Picking Star Tower’s First-tier Star Picker Envoy, but thanks to you, I can finally be promoted to Second Order now."

Picking Star Tower, one of the top three assassin organizations, not many members, but each one is very strong.

If Mo Ying Hall is a nationwide chain bathhouse center, then Picking Star Tower is a high-end club catering to upscale clients.

Both organizations have their strengths, and they generally do not conflict in business, but occasionally, some collisions occur.

Like now.

Wu Ming wanted to say something more, but when the words came to his lips, he didn’t know what to say. Should he curse the other as a bitch?

Then his own dignity would completely vanish.

Curse that they won’t die a good death?

That’s something only a defeated dog would do, meaningless.

Complimenting that the student has surpassed the master—damn, he was not that cheap.

Threaten to find and kill her?

Sigh... If only that were possible.

Wu Ming’s expression was a mix of raging anger, despair, fear, and dejected defeat.

He still hadn’t figured out what to say, but the person on the other end became impatient first.

"If there’s nothing else, then goodbye, Wu Ming, I still—damn it!" From the other end of the phone came a cry of surprise from Fish That Don’t Eat Cats; she always maintained an innocent and cute girl image, and this sudden "damn it" clearly indicated something terrible had happened.

"You..." Wu Ming was just about to ask what had happened, but the YY call was abruptly hung up.

He slumped powerlessly onto the chair as he watched his own death on the screen.

He had always believed that he had death under his control, especially when he personally took the lives of other players, particularly those high-level players not weaker than him.

It was as if he had embodied the Grim Reaper.

But when death came upon him, he realized that in the face of death, everyone is equal.

What exactly happened to that bitch, Fish That Don’t Eat Cats?

I hope she got killed too; without me to protect her, let’s see how she dies!

————

Impossible, how could they have caught up?

Fish That Don’t Eat Cats looked at the three people who suddenly appeared around her, her face filled with shock.

The three surrounded her from three sides.

Then I Want to Be Immortal came up, being the slowest, ended up last.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems I’ve missed quite the show," said Ye Luo, sneering as she looked at the dead body on the ground.

Xiao Jie was also shocked, looking at the densely packed flying needles and poison spikes on the body, then at Fish That Don’t Eat Cats—she truly was ruthless.

She even killed her own teammate.

Was it to loot the Equipment?

No, Wu Ming was a white name; dying would at most randomly drop a few items from his backpack, and if lucky, maybe even drop one piece of equipment... It didn’t seem like killing for looting.

"Ah, Brother Sui Feng, you finally came, thank God I can finally tell the truth now, wuu wuu wuu wuu I’m sorry Brother Sui Feng, I was truly forced."

However, Ye Luo sneered: "Let me guess, you framed Sui Feng because this assassin threatened you, and would kill you if you didn’t comply? No, such a clumsy lie is full of loopholes—or is it because your relative was captured by them, and that’s why you had no choice but to do this? And when you saw him severely wounded, you took the chance to kill him and regain your freedom."

"Yes, yes, yes! Sister Ye Luo, you really understand me."

"I understand your ass! Sui Feng, kill her, she’s faking it again—Xia Yi the Unrivaled, don’t even think about playing the hero to save the beauty."

"Hehehe, I have no objections, I’m just here for the show, it’s not me who’s being assassinated anyway, it’s up to you to decide, Brother Sui Feng," Xia Yi the Unrivaled only watched from the side.

But I Want to Be Immortal seemed uneasy, "Bro Feng, I don’t think she’s acting, what if she was really forced?"

Xiao Jie sighed, Cheng Xian is still too young.

"Fish That Don’t Eat Cats huh, I think it’s better not to waste time, give me a reason not to kill you while I still have the patience."

"Hehehe, alright, looks like I can’t fool you guys after all," the tone of Fish That Don’t Eat Cats suddenly became calm.

"Sorry handsome, I was lying to you just now," evidently, that was meant for I Want to Be Immortal.

I Want to Be Immortal...

Fish That Don’t Eat Cats continued, "I did take on a bounty mission, but the target wasn’t you, it was him.

Wu Ming killed a bigshot’s brother three months ago, and that person posted a bounty of one thousand taels at Picking Star Tower. So I infiltrated Mo Ying Hall and acted for two whole months to gain his trust.

My real target was him; coming across you was just coincidental. I thought it would be difficult, but didn’t expect your strength to be so formidable, you nearly crippled him.

That made it easy for me.

Now that he’s dead, I guess I’ve also resolved an enemy for you, so perhaps I’ve atoned for my actions, how about we part ways here?"

Xiao Jie, however, was not convinced.

His words were probably half true, half false; dealing with Wu Ming was real, and dealing with me was real too, trying to earn that one thousand taels, was the five hundred taels too much?

Since a feud had formed, naturally, he couldn’t let her go easily.

"Do you think I would just let you leave? Considering you almost killed me just now, your words might be true, or they might not, but none of it is a good enough reason not to kill you."

Fish That Don’t Eat Cats forced a smile, "I see—how about this, don’t you want to know the person who posted the bounty on you?"

"You know?"

"I am a member of Picking Star Tower. Our information system is far superior to that third-rate organization, Mo Ying Hall. We have detailed classifications of the guilds of various players in the game. To deal with Wu Ming, I specifically researched all the missions he took, including the person who posted it.

So, settling some, the person who posted the bounty on you—is called Strong Dragon Flipping."
