The ship was heavily guarded, with someone on duty almost every two meters, far more than they had imagined.

After Ren Ke noticed this, his expression became even more obscure.

The person leading the way stopped, pushed open the door of a room, and said calmly: "Master Ren Ke, please take a good rest here. If there is anything important, just send someone to inform Master Ling Xiu."

When Lin Wu defected from Killer City a few years ago, Killer City lost an important garrison camp. Even the South Sea Route turned against them, killing dozens of Killer City’s painstakingly trained killers. It was a huge loss.

At that time, the Seventeen Rakshasas were in charge of connecting with the South Sea route. After that, the city lord investigated and the Seventeen Rakshasas disappeared from everyone's sight forever. Later, the deputy city lord Fan promoted Ren Ke to fill the position of the Seventeen Rakshasas.

Today, Ren Ke and Ling Xiu are in similar positions.

Ren Ke could have completely rejected Ling Xiu's arrangement.

But the person who was supposed to pick them up this time was not Ling Xiu. Ling Xiu came suddenly and caught her off guard, and was also following the order of the city lord. Obviously, what Lin Wu said on the plane finally reached the ears of the city lord, making the city lord dissatisfied with the deputy city lord.

At this time, she could not have any objections, lest the city lord also "remember" her.

Ren Ke thought again that the city lord's men had mixed in with the people he brought with him, so he finally calmed down, said nothing, and stepped in.

However, the person leading the way continued to move forward, and Lin Wu followed.

Ren Ke stopped immediately: "Wait! Where are you taking her? Isn't she going with me?"

Lin Wu stopped.

The person leading the way also stopped and said in a businesslike manner: "Lord Lingxiu has something else to ask about the secret voice. This is the order of the city lord."

Ren Ke was startled and turned to Lin Wu.

Lin Wu looked back at her and said slowly, "Don't worry, I won't betray Fan."

The words that Ren Ke wanted to say got stuck in his throat, and he looked extremely angry: "Fuck you! Go out for a while, are you crazy? You just talk nonsense! When we get back, I will definitely find a ghost doctor to check your brain first!"

After saying that, she went straight into the room and slammed the door.

Lin Wu's expression remained normal, and he turned his head to meet several inquiring gazes.

"What are you still standing there for? Let's go."

The man looked at her, turned around and continued to lead the way, bringing Lin Wu to a room at the end of the second floor, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

After a while, the door opened and a man in black appeared at the door. He nodded to the man. Then he waved his hand inside, and three people came out and stood at the door. The man who brought Lin Wu also stepped aside and had no intention of going in.

Lin Wu walked into the room calmly.

With a bang, the person outside closed the door.

Lin Wu glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, raised his eyebrows slightly, then retracted his gaze to look at the woman who was standing by the window with her hands behind her back not far in front of him.

Ling Xiu looked at the calm yet secretly turbulent sea outside, wondering what she was thinking.

"You shouldn't have come back."

"If you don't want to come back, even though you are still controlled by Killer City, Killer City will not touch you."

Lin Wu sat down on the sofa calmly, poured herself a cup of hot water, blew on it and drank it. This rare warmth warmed up her frozen body.

She held the cup and said nonchalantly, "What a coincidence. I don't like being controlled by others. Who knows if this bomb will explode one day? It's better to solve it as soon as possible and avoid future troubles."

After hearing this, Ling Xiu finally turned around and looked at her, with a more complicated look between her brows.

"So, do you have a way to solve the control of Killer City?"

Lin Wu shook his head: "I went to the place you mentioned that year, trying to find out what was going on. But I had an accident that time and almost died, so I had to recuperate for a long time. When I was finally able to come again, I found that the Killer City had secretly sent people to guard the place, and I couldn't investigate without alerting the Killer City."

"Until now, I still don't know what is hidden there. I have sent people to look for the secret behind the ice wall intermittently, but it is a naturally dangerous place. None of my people have ever returned."

Ling Xiu couldn't hide her astonishment. She turned around and walked quickly to Lin Wu, saying, "Then why did you come back? Do you know that the city lord and the deputy city lord will never let you go this time? If you make any unusual moves again, the city lord will really control you! Unless you already have a way to get rid of this control, you will..."

Lin Wu was not surprised.

As the saying goes, once is twice, but a third time is not enough. Her previous actions had already provoked the Killer City to the ground, so it was normal for the City Lord to lose patience and want to take action.

But Lin Wu was not panicked.

She looked up at Ling Xiu and said, "I am passive now because I can't figure out the secret of control. But in the final analysis, it is also because I am outside and can't do it. Since it doesn't work outside, why don't I come back and figure it out?"

Ling Xiu understood instantly: "This control method is only mastered by the city lord in such a huge assassin city. Do you want the city lord to really take action against you, experience for yourself what is going on, and then follow the clues to investigate?"

Lin Wu nodded.

"No!" Ling Xiu rejected it outright. "You have no idea how terrible that kind of control is. Once you experience it, you will never be able to escape the shadow of Killer City in your life, and you will never have the heart to rebel. You will be assimilated here! By then, you will be finished, and how can you trace the cause and find out the truth?!"

Lin Wu asked calmly, "But I don't even know what it is, what the situation is, where it is roughly located, and how the city lord used it on us. How can I check it?"

"Also, the people I sent over the past few years have not produced any results, which just proves that it's useless for outsiders to investigate. So I have to contact them in person, understand them in person, and then find a way."

She believes in herself.

No matter what, Killer City can never be her master!

Ling Xiu was silent for a moment, then said, "So that's why you deliberately mentioned on your way back that you and the deputy city lord had teamed up to overthrow the former deputy city lord, in order to attract the city lord's attention and ask him to meet you?"

Lin Wu nodded.

Ling Xiu was puzzled: "But how do you know that the city lord has placed someone next to the deputy city lord?"

She only found out about this today! In Killer City, the city lord and the deputy city lord have always been in harmony. Most importantly, the deputy city lord was raised by the city lord! The affection between the two is far beyond their imagination! It is said that the city lord also has high hopes for the deputy city lord and intends for the deputy city lord to take over his position.

How could the city lord, who trusted the deputy city lord so much, insert someone into his side without anyone noticing? ? Could it be that the deputy city lord had previously used Lin Wu, which caused the assassin city to suffer heavy losses, and the city lord really had a deep grudge because of this?

Lin Wu's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked back: "Do you know what grudge Fan had with the former deputy city lord?"

Ling Xiu shook her head.

Lin Wu said: "I discovered this by accident. There is a very hidden dark room in the residence of the former deputy city lord, and inside is a woman's skeleton. That is Fan's biological mother."

Ling Xiu was slightly surprised: "This... isn't the deputy city lord an orphan?"

Lin Wu shook his head. "His mother was also a killer trained by Killer City. She had been with a member of the same team day and night, and had experienced life and death together. They fell in love with each other and got together. But the former deputy city lord fell in love with Fan's mother and forced her to stay by his side. When he found out that she already had someone, he angrily killed the man and raped her."

"Later, she found out that she was pregnant with Fan, but the former deputy city lord did a lot of things to hurt her, and she became disheartened and committed suicide."

Ling Xiu took a breath of cold air: "The former deputy city lord is actually his biological father?!"

Lin Wu nodded: "But the former deputy city lord suspected that he was the child of the dead man, and he hated his mother so much that he hated him and didn't want to even look at him. Fan was thrown into the ghost camp to fend for himself since he was a child. It was because the city lord asked someone to take care of him that he survived."

"Later, he learned about his life experience and hated the former deputy city lord, so he wanted to kill him and take his place. After I discovered this by accident, I took advantage of this and cooperated with him."

Sometimes hatred can cause a person to make mistakes, giving others more opportunities to take advantage of them.

Ling Xiu was puzzled: "What does this have to do with the city lord placing people around him?"

Lin Wu uttered the shocking words very calmly.

"Because it was the city lord who secretly made arrangements to let Fan know his background."

"Also because the city lord and the former deputy city lord have long been alienated and are only at peace with each other."
