[The Dark Society - The Dilapidated Tavern]
Occasionally, in some desolate and remote cities, there will be a dilapidated tavern that no one visits.
It looks like it's not open for business.
But occasionally, some oddly dressed people come here to drink.
Leng Qingying walked to the tavern door and rang the bell nine times.
Boom—
With a muffled thud, the wall flipped over, revealing an entrance leading underground.
"Hey, cold beauty."
"Looking for another mission?"
Leng Qingying remained silent, her gaze merely sweeping over the man who had greeted her.
His eyes were like sharp knives.
The man touched his face and felt blood.
"Ah—haha..."
"Don't be so formal, Lord Leng."
Leng Qingying was dressed in a black robe, with a black token hanging at her waist. The number on the token was "Seven," which symbolized that she was now the organization's seventh assassin.
Within the entire organization, only six people are stronger than her.
"Today's tasks have just been compiled. There are quite a few interesting ones this time. Would you... like to take a look?"
The man quickly changed the subject.
I dare not provoke Leng Qingying again.
Assassin No. 7 killed him in public, and even though it violated the organization's rules, few people could do anything about it.
It is even less likely that she will be punished for this.
If Leng Qingying had killed him without cause, her crime might have been more serious.
But if he makes a careless remark and displeases Leng Qingying, then his death will be in vain.
Leng Qingying walked to the task counter.
When selecting tasks, Leng Qingying does not use her divine sense to preview them in advance.
There wasn't any particular reason, I just felt that choosing missions this way would be very satisfying, like the thrill of slowly selecting assassination targets.
When doing these things.
This also subtly aligned with the principles of assassination, bringing Leng Qingying a sense of pleasure.
Of course, Leng Qingying wouldn't show this joy on her face; in fact, she wouldn't show it at all.
"A list of targets to hunt down the King of Goron..."
"What bad thing has this king done? Someone actually wants to hunt him down."
Leng Qingying sent a message in her mind to Xiu Mi and asked him a question.
Shumi immediately responded.
"I don't see anything wrong with what I did, meow~"
Leng Qingying: "Alright, then we won't kill him."
"Uh, hunting the sea monster of Lake Ni? It seems to be at the top level of the Awakened Demon."
"That's an option."
The order from the demigod is alright.
In fact, Leng Qingying was already considering taking on a job from a sub-god. She would probably kill a sub-god in a while to reveal that she had the strength of a sub-god.
Leng Qingying was quite interested in the top position in this organization.
He is primarily the leader of the Dark Society, possessing a unique assassination technique that can only be passed down to one person, and it is at a nine-star level.
The leader of the Dark Society possesses the power of a pseudo-god.
Leng Qingying was very interested in that inheritance.
You won't get it even if you kill it.
It can only be obtained through promotion within the Dark Council.
If one could obtain this assassination technique, one might even be able to further develop one's own assassination methods.
"Bigfoot's order..."
"A list of vendettas..."
"To assassinate one's own wife..."
"Assassinate his ex-wife..."
"Kill the mistress..."
"Killing one's own father..."
The Dark Society will take any job as long as the money is right; whether or not an assassin will actually accept the job is another matter entirely.
Furthermore, before posting a task, they will ask the client about their actual situation.
This price is determined based on the actual situation.
And darkness has its rules.
If you lie when explaining your motives, the deal is off.
No one knows how the Darkness will determine whether someone is lying or not, but all that is known is that if one doesn't tell the truth, this deal might not be possible.
"Well……"
"Assassinate...the popular idol, Shumi."
Leng Qingying looked at the list.
The list also includes a photo of Xiu Mi.
The compensation is very generous.
Even an ordinary demigod assassin would be able to live comfortably for the rest of their life if they took on this job. The value of this job is at least equivalent to dozens of other demigod jobs.
I carefully read the task description.
The motivation is clearly stated above.
Because she was hindering the idol's career, they wanted to get rid of her.
It's such a simple and unpretentious reason.
It seems Xiu Mi has offended someone in the entertainment industry. But is the entertainment industry really that cruel? If you hinder someone's career, they'll hire someone to assassinate them.
It's much crueler than the real world.
"Hey, cold beauty."
"Will you take this order?"
Just then, a one-eyed man with a single-edged sword hanging from his waist walked over.
Leng Qingying's eyes were icy as she glanced at the person beside her.
A bloody welt appeared on the man's face.
The man glanced at his cheek and casually wiped away the blood.
"Still so cold-hearted."
This man was not the man who was at the door just now, but someone else.
He wore an eye patch over one eye.
The muscles aren't exaggerated.
He was dressed in a black robe, with a single-edged sword hanging from it, along with a plaque bearing the number "Lu".
The sixth killer.
Her ranking is even higher than Leng Qingying's.
Therefore, he was not afraid of Leng Qingying.
His realm is the fusion of demons, which is the power of a demigod.
"This job is very lucrative."
"First come, first served."
As he spoke, the man tore off the authorization form.
"Don't blame me for taking your task; you know the rules."
Leng Qingying hesitated, but the man accepted the task first, and it became his responsibility.
Of course, other assassins might take on the mission faster elsewhere.
However, killers with serial numbers have privileges; they have higher mission priority.
Leng Qingying turned around: "Do as you please."
After saying that, his figure disappeared.
The one-eyed man scratched his head.
[Seven]'s methods were indeed highly skilled; he disappeared without even realizing how it was done.
But never mind.
This newcomer probably hasn't reached the level of a demigod yet.
In terms of raw power, they are definitely inferior to us.
The one-eyed man slammed the order form on the table and said, "Hey, order's issued."
"This mission is mine. Tell the other assassins who took on this mission that it's canceled."
After leaving the tavern, Leng Qingying sat on the roof of the house.
Looking at the darkening sky.
This guy...
Are we going to assassinate Shumi?
That's really interesting.
After thinking about it, Leng Qingying decided not to tell Xiu Mi about it and to give her a little surprise.
-----------------
Battle of Goron
Shumi's arrival made the situation in Goron much clearer.
The Kingdom of Goron, which was thought to be on the verge of destruction, was actually saved by an idol of Shumi.
Moreover, Xiumi's popularity has also increased as Xiumi has progressed in eliminating the beast tide.
It's likely that even without completing the entire Goron campaign, Shumi will become the world's most popular idol.
Yes, the most popular professional idol.
However, because Xiu Mi never provoked those few demigods, the outside world speculated about Xiu Mi's strength, believing that Xiu Mi had not truly reached the level of a demigod.
