While Gu Qing Shan was busy registering at the 900 million World Layers Hitman Guild.
At the same time.
Lin stood on the balcony of her Seaside Suite, slowly shadowboxing.
Her movements were extremely slow and light, giving off an otherworldly sense of flexibility and beauty. It almost felt like she wasnât shadowboxing, but rather performing an elegant dance.
After a while, Linâs thumb twitched.
Another finger other than her middle finger had recovered 20% of its power.
ââ-this recovery was extremely slow.
Lin shook her head.
If I still had my Abyssal form, I wouldnât have needed to go through so much trouble and use shadowboxing to heal the wounds on my body.
At the same time, she was feeling a bit nostalgic.
Itâs been so many years since I last shadowboxed like this.
Everything feels like it was just yesterday, but also like a faraway dream. Those people in my dream are already long gone, while Iâm alone by myself, struggling to prolong the inevitable in this Reality thatâs heading to ruins.
Perhaps recalling something, the corner of her mouth lifted just a bit and gave off an indescribable sense of mockery.
How could anything actually be âEternalâ?
If the Eternal Abyss itself was destroyed, creatures like myself who were simply infected by it would also not be able to escape the fate of death.
The only way to survive, my only wish before death is just to find that person and look for an answer.
And then.
Avenge everyone.
Lin undid her stance and stood up straight on the balcony.
The warm sunlight shined down on her.
The oceanâs vast blue coastline glittered within it.
But her visage appeared so lonely.
All of a sudden, purple glowing dots suddenly appeared out of nowhere, formed into strings of light, and expanded until it manifested a pattern.
A reverse summoning circle!
A figure emerged from the summoning circle.
ââpale slender arms, pitch-black hair, a pointy chin, and charming eyes.
The handsome male evil creature from a few days ago had shown up again.
He looked at Lin without hiding his greed.
ă Dear lady, I couldnât help coming back uninvited because of how mesmerized I am by you. I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me ă
Lin glanced at him and said nothing.
The evil creature threw a ball of light to her and continued: ă Tsk tsk, your boyfriend left you here alone while he went out to enjoy himself, what a heartless man ă
Lin received the ball of light and squashed it.
Right away, a scene was projected in front of her.
The scene showed Gu Qing Shan surrounded by women in a house of pleasure.
âWhat are you trying to say?â Lin looked at the scene and simply asked.
The evil creature told her: âDear lady, this man is truly nothing but a Casanova, thereâs no need for you to tie yourselves to death, is there? How about... you come to my world for a bit of fun instead? I can guarantee that you will enjoy yourself like nothing elseâ
âI refuseâ Lin replied.
The evil creature froze.
His tone slowly changed:
âLady, donât be such a killjoy now. A beautiful object of affection thatâs in a heavily wounded state like yourself is very welcomed in our world, Iâll have you knowâ
âFor what reason?â
âBecause the taste of your despair and helplessness would be extremely thick, this is the flavor that all evil creatures enjoy more than anything elseâ the evil creature excitedly licked his lips.
Lin sighed and replied: âAnd this is the reason why everyone hates evil creaturesâ
She raised her hand, put her middle finger against her thumb, and lightly flicked her fingers at him from afar.
Pop!
Despite standing over 10 meters away, the evil creatureâs body suddenly exploded and splattered as a layer of blood and flesh on the wall.
Lin picked up a small bell and shook it.
The hotelâs maidservant suddenly appeared.
âEsteemed guest, how may I be of service?â
She bowed deeply with a look of sincere respect as she looked at Lin.
The hotel naturally had a few protective measures in place for its guests, but if a guest was willing to deal with it themselves, the hotel would not act.
This was to prevent them from interfering with the guestâs enjoyment.
Lin nodded at the maidservant: âIâm sorry, but I seemed to have made the room a bit dirty, please go ahead and clean it upâ
âUnderstood, we will see to it right awayâ
The maidservant replied.
...
The 900 million World Layers Hitman Guild.
As soon as the flying sword went away, the robust man offered Gu Qing Shan a cigar from behind his counter.
His eyes were very sharp, so he instantly noticed that the other party wasnât quite as simple as they had thought.
âFrom the looks of it, youâre a Miasma Stealther arenât you?â
The robust man asked with intrigue.
To be able to control a weapon so fluently, it could only be one of these very few Professions: Sword Cultivator, Spirit Artifact Warrior, and Miasma Stealther.
Among them, Sword Cultivator was a human Profession, and one with relatively few practitioners; Spirit Artifact Warrior was an Elven exclusive Profession; only Miasma Stealther was a Profession for evil creatures.
âââall of them were powerful combat Professions that were extremely suitable for becoming a Hitman.
âCorrect, Iâm a Miasma Stealtherâ
Gu Qing Shan didnât deny it.
He borrowed a lighter from the robust man and lit the cigar.
The robust manâs eyebrows relaxed.
Having a powerful Hitman-type evil creature for the organization is a good thing.
Not to mention, he already passed the stone horseâs test, clearly stating that he only joined the Guild because he needed money.
It wasnât actually because he felt it troublesome that he didnât join the bounty hunter guild.
He simply doesnât want to share the spoils.
ââas an evil creature that wants nothing but money, relatively speaking, this was quite a âcleanâ fellow.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the robust man and asked: âSo, do I need to bring its body back here?â
âA body part is fineâ the robust man replied.
âHow about an ear?â
âThat will doâ
One breath.
Two breaths.
Thud!
A bloody object fell straight onto the counter and landed on the wanted poster, soaking it red.
It was a severed ear!
The robust man picked the ear up and gave it to a black-shirted man behind him.
The man checked it briefly and confirmed: âItâs authentic, itâs the Man Snakeâs earâ
Everyone turned their eyes to Gu Qing Shan.
Behind Gu Qing Shan, a sword had just returned, silently fading away.
It took him less than 10 breathsâ worth of time to find and kill that Man Snake.
This is an expert, most likely an Archfiend.
The robust man took out a medal and placed it on the table.
âWelcome, our new Hitmanâ
He smiled and said.
Gu Qing Shan received the medal and looked outside the lobby.
The sky is already turning a bit golden.
The catâs medicine shop closes at 5 PM.
Letâs get this over with quickly.
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a brief moment and put the medal back on the table.
âWhat are you trying to say?â the robust man asked.
âWhat kind of target can I kill at this level? Please give me a listâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
âYou want to...â the robust man hesitantly asked.
âMake moneyâ
Gu Qing Shan replied without hesitation.
The robust man showed a smile.
For the Guild, money had always been a small issue.
Earning the allegiance of a powerful Archfiend in exchange for a bit of money was nothing but profitable.
He gestured with his eyes towards the blue-skinned girl at the start.
âPlease wait a momentâ
The girl went behind the counter and took out a thick clip of documents from a drawer.
The robust man then ordered: âBring all the targets in this world and let our Archfiend brother here choose for himselfâ
The girl responded positively and took out a pile of wanted posters from the clip, placing them in front of Gu Qing Shan.
The robust man explained: âThese are all the jobs issued on this world, those with the eye marker are the ones with targets that happened to also be on this worldâ
âThank youâ
Gu Qing Shan counted them out.
There were a total of 791 wanted posters.
He scanned through them, carefully considered each one, and picked out 85 wanted posters, placing them on one side.
âYouâre going to kill that many targets at once?â the robust man was shocked.
âNo, these people are related in one way or another to our tribe, so Iâm not going to kill themâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
In truth, the 85 targets on those posters were not unforgivable villains, and Gu Qing Shan could even see one of them currently doing something good right now.
âThen what are youâââ
âIâm going to accept the remaining 706 jobs. As you know, Iâm penniless right nowâ
Gu Qing Shan replied.
The man froze.
The girl froze.
Right in front of them, four swords appeared from the void of space behind the Archfiend.
The four flying swords with different designs vibrated sharply and broke through the void of space, swiftly vanishing without a trace.
