He looked at Wudu coldly, with many questions he wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask them at this moment.

The killer who showed up halfway was very disappointed and a little irritated because he failed to snatch the head. He looked at Wu Du with a bad expression and said, "You shouldn't have killed him."

Wu Du said, "I just did it for money. There is no right or wrong."

The killer who showed up halfway - the intestinal swordsman Xiao Qiuyu sighed and said, "He is no longer a killer of Qingyi Building, but he is the person I want... Tell me, is your luck good or bad?"

Qingyi Building is a killer organization that uses money to lure talented people to work for it. Some of the killers hide their identities, while others tell the world openly and don't mind being known as a killer of Qingyi Building.

Zhang Heqi is the latter.

As for Xiao Qiuyu, Leng Xue had never seen him, but he had a rough idea of ​​his appearance, temperament and swordsmanship.

As the head of the Shenhou Mansion, Leng Xue had many opportunities to come into contact with records of the deeds of famous people in the martial arts world, and he often read them to avoid being ambushed by enemies in the future due to lack of understanding.

If a swordsman wants to become famous in the martial arts world, he must either learn from a master, be talented, or have a well-known name. As for whether the degree of fame matches the actual strength, it is hard to say.

Wu Du calmly replied: "It has nothing to do with luck. If I have to say, I think it is strength."

Xiao Qiuyu's face suddenly darkened. He had fought with Wu Du before, so he naturally knew that Wu Du had no need to fight with him. He could have cut off the obstacle with one sword before throwing the sword.

Wu Du adjusted his belt, steadied his knife, and looked extremely calm, as if he didn't feel at all that he had said anything unpleasant.

Zhang Heqi on the ground had stopped breathing, and the wheezing sound in his throat was so faint that it could not be heard. Only the slow, gurgling sound of bubbles could be heard.

Leng Xue's head was a little painful from the wind. The figure of Wu Du reflected in his eyes overlapped with the vague outline of seven years ago. The skinny and short playmate of that year had grown into a tall and strong boy, but his calm and composed look had not changed at all.

"That's enough, why did you kill him?" Leng Xue interrupted the silent confrontation between the two people, frowning slightly. He glanced at Wu Du, then looked at Xiao Qiuyu, waiting for this man to give him an answer.

Xiao Qiuyu also frowned, tried to hold back, but still couldn't help asking: "They are all killers, why do you ask me but not him, Captain Leng?"

Lengxue had been pretending, but the color of his eyes could not be changed. During the fight with Wu Du just now, the action was fierce, and his eyes hidden under his hair were exposed to the moonlight, like the moon reflected in a green lake, dazzling and eye-catching.

Xiao Qiuyu only discovered Lengxue's identity after fighting with Wu Du, and immediately felt cold in his heart, thinking that his luck was really bad. Not only was he targeted by someone, but he also met a difficult captain.

Lengxue hesitated, he couldn't say that he wanted to ask Wu Du, but he wouldn't say...

"He would only tell me that he was paid to do things, and there was no need to ask questions that I already knew the answers to." Lengxue said coldly, "Why are you doing this?"

"I am also paid to do things." Xiao Qiuyu smiled faintly.

Lengxue's face turned slightly cold.

The same answer coming out of Xiao Qiuyu's mouth seemed very perfunctory, and it made it seem that Wu Du, such a sincere killer who valued courtesy, had never been seen before. Bu

Zao glanced at the corpse on the ground, and didn't really want to destroy the body by himself. After thinking for a while, he looked at Lengxue. Lengxue noticed his gaze and gave him a look full of complex emotions.

The round-eyed masked killer said: "It's getting dark, do you want to go to the town together?"

This was a kind of implicit invitation. Bu Zao revealed Wu Du's secret kindness to Lengxue.

Lengxue's eyes moved slightly, thinking that maybe it was not just him, and Wu Du also remembered what happened seven years ago.

But -

Lengxue could not accept his invitation.

How could a police chief go for a walk with a killer after he killed someone right in front of him?

Even Xiao Qiuyu looked at Wu Du with an unbelievable and strange look, thinking that he was out of his mind to make this invitation.

The cold-blooded police chief was quite powerful, and Xiao Qiuyu thought that he could not escape from him. He rolled his eyes slightly, glanced at Wu Du, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, you and I are also in the same line of work. Although you killed my target, it is not a kind of fate. I am brave enough to invite Brother Wu to have a drink, so Brother Wu should not bother the cold-blooded police chief."

This guy was really self-righteous. Before Leng Xue even refused, he thought Wu Du was bothering him.

Lengxue was about to speak when Wudu raised his sword and struck him with a club, both the sword and the sheath.

Xiao Se's heartbroken swordsman didn't even have time to react. He closed his eyes, kicked his legs, and fainted.

Lengxue: "…………What are you doing?"

Bu Zao put the short sword back on his waist and said seriously: "I don't want to waste time on him."

Lengxue was speechless. Xiao Qiuyu obviously wanted to pull Wudu, and drinking was just an excuse. But before he said his real intention, Wudu already felt that he was wasting time.

The wind rustled, the branches and leaves rustled, and two figures stood opposite each other in the bushes. The air was filled with an indescribable quiet atmosphere.

"You..."

Lengxue's voice was low and light, breaking the silence. He asked, "Why did you... choose this path?"

He couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Wu Du pulled off his mask, revealing the lower half of his face, with slightly round cheeks and a childish look... This face overlapped with the face in Leng Xue's dream.

In the past seven years, Wu Du's face has not changed much.

He answered seriously, "To make money."

This answer did not satisfy Leng Xue, but instead made him feel a surge of powerless anger.

He couldn't help but ask, "Who taught you this sword technique? Was it your 'master'?"

"Rumors" - actually the news released by Wang Lianhua and Yu Luosha secretly added fuel to the fire - said that Wu Du's banditry and doing things beyond the mission were to honor his master.

——The brutal masked killer Wudu is a good disciple who respects his teacher.

Lengxue is angry at the "master" who has never met him. He doesn't want a master who teaches his disciples like this!

Wudu nodded gently and said, "Not long after I said goodbye to you, I became your disciple. It has been seven years now. All my kung fu was taught by the master himself."

He mentioned the things that happened between them seven years ago so frankly that Leng Xue, who was a little hesitant, was stunned and felt mixed emotions.

He asked, "Why do you have to be a killer?"

Wu Du replied, "Because the first commission that came to me was to kill someone. Since then, all the employers who came to ask me to do things wanted me to kill people. There was no reason to refuse them."

So... I became a killer.

Leng Xue's eyebrows were twisted into a knot. Wu Du answered every question without hiding anything, but his answers were more or less filled with a sense of sincerity that made people tired.

It was precisely because Leng Xue was Wu Du's playmate seven years ago, and because of this relationship, Bu Zao answered Leng Xue's questions in more detail and more sincerely.

Leng Xue vaguely noticed this, but he was not very happy about it.

There was a hint of doubt in Wudu's eyes when he looked at Lengxue. He seemed puzzled by Lengxue's reaction.

Lengxue didn't want to mention it anymore, he looked down at the unconscious Xiao Qiuyu: "Are you going to take this person away?"

Bu Zao took a glance, he had another reason to hit Xiao Qiuyu, the game system issued a side quest, requiring players to explore the complexity of human emotions.

[Side Quest: Love]

[Quest Description: A fellow killer you met was a handsome and melancholy swordsman, his name was also very melancholy, "Xiao Qiuyu". He was deeply trapped in the Shura field, suffering a lot, loving her, hating her, loving her, hating her, every day and night he was troubled by the other's love. But when his eyes met hers, he was still moved and fell in a second. "I just hope your eyes are on me", this is his only wish. Dear player, do you think he can realize his wish? Maybe after you participate, this wish may come true. 】

The triggering method of the side quest is random. There are game characters who actively issue commissions, and there are also characters in the center of trouble who passively issue tasks. In the latter case, regardless of the game character's own wishes, players who accept the side quest will participate in the event.

I clicked to accept the task at that time.

Although he is a peony, he has rich emotional (observation) experience, not limited to hatred, love, sadomasochism, deep love, love and killing. The principle is equivalent to a certain allusion to talking about military affairs on paper. As for the actual application effect... It has never been practiced and there is no way to test it.

Although there is no evidence, this side quest obviously comes from a system that often laments that "human hearts/emotions are really complicated". Out of goodwill to its partners, Bu Zao is determined to show the system what human emotions are in this side quest.

Facing Leng Xue's question, Wu Du nodded: "I'm going to take him away."

Leng Xue didn't expect that he would actually take Xiao Qiuyu away, and couldn't help asking: "What are you going to do with him?"

Wu Du replied: "I can't tell you this."

Leng Xue didn't say anything else.

He was still a little confused in his heart. Wu Du said goodbye to him, and didn't mention going back to the town with Leng Xue. He picked up Xiao Qiuyu and left, and his figure disappeared in the dim path.

Leng Xue didn't chase him closely. He put on the cloth towel to wrap his hair again, covering his green eyes, and returned to the vicinity of the tavern, watching in the dark.

The waiter in the tavern had not left yet. He was wiping the tables and chairs, mumbling something.

After a while, Leng Xue saw him coming out of the backyard holding a torch. Gray smoke rose from the sky, which was very eye-catching in the dim night.

He was surprised and did not care to continue observing the hidden traces. He jumped out of the bushes, kicked the waiter who set the fire, and rushed into the backyard to put out the fire.

There were often passers-by staying behind this tavern. Even if he wanted to investigate the background of Wu Yamen, Leng Xue could not sit idly by.
