Looking at the familiar gold coin, Li Yun suddenly realized that he had traveled to the world of the movie "John Wick".
The series of killer services he had enjoyed before were actually obtained from mainland hotels by the intermediary according to his needs. Those endless mission orders were also taken over from mainland hotels by the intermediary and then transferred to these peripheral killers.
This is also the method used by many down-and-out people who have membership.
If Zuo Yu's property was taken away by someone, he could also use this method to earn his first pot of gold and then make a comeback.
After hearing the news, the intermediary who was extremely mysterious in Li Yun's eyes suddenly became ordinary.
The other party was just a middleman who made a profit from membership and information asymmetry. He was not the spokesperson of a killer organization with all-powerful connections and amazing background as he imagined.
After figuring this out, Li Yun naturally understood everything.
No wonder the killer agent brushed him off several times when he repeatedly expressed his desire to select the gun himself. It turned out that he didn't want him to know about the mainland hotel so as to avoid losing his money-making weapon.
During the year that he worked as a killer, Li Yun completed a large number of missions, many of which were dangerous tasks that other peripheral killers in the intermediary's hands could not complete. After completing these tasks, Li Yun earned an unknown amount of remuneration and gold coins for the intermediary, and what he received himself was probably only a tiny part of the actual remuneration.
But if that were all, Li Yun wouldn't care, after all, channels are also part of his own strength.
Considering that the other party brought him in and helped him settle down, Li Yun was unwilling to argue with him about the trivial matters of the past. He just decided to do a few more things for the other party, and after repaying the favor, he would quit and work on his own.
But what Li Yun never expected was that after the benefactor in his eyes told him the information about the Continental Hotel, he actually took out an exquisite badge with a serious face, opened it like a pocket watch, pointed to the thin needle sticking out of the badge and said that if one wanted to work for the High Table, one must prick his finger and press a bloody fingerprint on the badge, only then would he be considered truly loyal to the High Table.
When saying these words, the agent's face looked extremely serious, as if the facts were really as he said.
Unfortunately, Li Yun had already seen the John Wick series of movies and recognized the badge at a glance.
It is the blood pact that appeared in the second part of the movie!
The so-called blood contract is a contract concluded with blood as evidence and a high table as a strong binding force.
Once the blood pact is made, the person who leaves the blood fingerprint must do something for the person holding the badge.
No matter what the matter is, no matter when and where, as long as the person holding the blood contract takes out the badge and puts forward his or her request, the other party must complete it unconditionally.
If you dare to refuse or escape, you will be hunted down to death by the entire killer world.
Generally speaking, in the world of killers, only when they are desperate and need help from others will they take the blood contract and ask for a blood contract from the person who can help them.
And the killer intermediary actually took it out directly, trying to trick Li Yun into signing a blood pact with him.
"Wait!" Lin Zhongtian suddenly interrupted Li Yun and frowned, "As far as I know, a blood contract is usually signed only under the witness of a third party, and this third party must be a neutral person who has no vested interests with the two parties to the contract. A blood contract signed privately or under the witness of one's own people will not be recognized at all, let alone included in the organization's account book used to record blood contracts."
"Since the middleman you know was able to obtain the blood contract, doesn't he know these rules?"
"Of course he knew." Li Yun said calmly, "So he found a killer broker in Las Vegas as a witness. There is no conflict of interest between these killer brokers in different cities, but they all tacitly protect each other's interests. For killers like me who are new to mainland hotels and high tables, it's not the first time they have joined hands to deceive."
Lin Zhongtian pulled the corner of his mouth and complained: "It's true that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below."
Li Yun sighed, "If it were just this, it wouldn't be a big deal. At most, we would just part ways and I would change jobs and work on my own. But he really shouldn't have put a gun to my head and forced me to sign a blood pact after I refused. I had no choice but to kill them all."
"..." Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows, "So, you ended up like this because you offended these assassin brokers?"
Li Yun shook his head: "No, it's because I took on the last mission before killing them..."
Lin Zhongtian asked with interest: "What mission?"
Li Yun smiled bitterly and sighed, "Kill John Wick."
Lin Zhongtian immediately showed a look of sympathy on his face.
The performance of the protagonist John Wick in the movie may be affected by the actor's own fighting skills and physical fitness, but this is the real world of killers. To be able to create such a great reputation in this world, complete countless dangerous tasks, and become a living legend among killers, John Wick himself must be more terrifying than in the movie.
Except for a hanger-on like Lin Zhongtian, ordinary time travelers, even if they know the plot, may not be his match.
Li Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I should have thought of it earlier. Apart from John Wick's 14 million bounty, what other reason could make the greedy Lippier tell me the news of the Continental Hotel? He knows my character. After knowing the truth about the killer world, I will leave him sooner or later and work alone..."
Lin Zhongtian suddenly asked: "But as I recall, there doesn't seem to be any mandatory requirement for hunting down John Wick?"
Li Yun shook his head and said, "That was John's reward, and I accepted the task. I can only get membership after completing the task."
Lin Zhongtian sympathized and said, “This is too difficult.”
Li Yun said softly, "I also know this is difficult, so I went to the Mainland Hotel to meet the manager and wanted to change the assessment task, but the hotel manager seemed dissatisfied with me because of my rebellious behavior and did not agree to change the assessment task. I had no choice but to take a plane to New York and rely on my foresight of the plot to find a way to kill John."
"But he is stronger than I thought. His marksmanship is godlike. With just a pistol, he can hit every target within 50 meters. He is also very sensitive to danger. None of the bombs I placed in advance could hurt him. He also found the sniper point I selected and temporarily changed the route to avoid it. It's like he has activated a full-map cheat."
"I had no choice but to risk a close combat with him. But just as I was about to get close to him, I was suddenly attacked by a killer. It turned out that the killer brokers had put together a million bounty to make an example of him, and they also put me on the bounty list. I fought hard to kill those people, but ended up being mistaken for John's accomplice by the other killers who came to hunt him down."
interesting……
Lin Zhongtian's mouth curled up. No wonder he always called the protagonist John. It turned out that there was such a comradeship between people who fought side by side.
Li Yun continued: "In this way, I was forced to fight my way out with John. After we got separated, we hid in Chinatown and fled back to Los Angeles with the help of a mysterious man."
Lin Zhongtian raised an eyebrow: "Mysterious person?"
Li Yun nodded and said, "I don't know why that mysterious man wants to help me, nor do I know his true identity, but judging from his accent, he should be a Chinese from Hong Kong or Guangdong."
"That's interesting. Please continue."
"After returning to Los Angeles, I hid in a friend's house. He was also a killer and I had saved his life once. Thanks to him, I had a way to get information from the outside world. It happened that the Giovin family was destroyed at that time. The gossip said that it was you who did it."
"So you believe it?"
"No." Li Yun shook his head, then changed the subject and said, "Now you know that my official identity is a math teacher in this private school, but the main reason I applied for this identity is because I once received a reward from you... or Zuo Yu."
