Chapter 1 First Encounter

The night was as cool as water, and the rain fell lightly.

Darkness has permeated the sleeping town.Occasionally, some dim lights leaked from a few windows, brewing, and turning into an ambiguous mass among the water mist, it is difficult to distinguish the real one.Drizzle is ignorant, quietly telling the inextricable and unknown secrets.

It was a closed cafe, and the window of the private room on the top floor was shining with the only light, which flickered very thinly and quietly.There were no lights there, only a cigarette butt.

But no one could see the man holding the cigarette clearly.

Because it is dark.

That inextricable darkness.

The man breathed out a smoke ring leisurely and watched it dissolve into the night.The cigarette butt between the fingers turned from bright to dark, a gust of wet wind passed by, the burnt soot fell off, and finally fell into the darkness.

pat-

The door opened, and a ray of light entered in an instant, and then realized that it was weak, and fell to the ground sadly.

"Hey, good evening! Little Tiqi." The visitor turned on the light, "You're still so punctual."

"Good evening, Mr. Millennium." The soft orange light poured down from the ceiling, the man smiled lightly, and turned around gracefully, "But you should remove the word "Xie." I reminded countless times, but obviously it didn't expect to work. .

"Today's task has been completed well, thank you for your hard work." The man called the Millennium Lord is a hale and hearty elder, slightly blessed, with a mask-like smile on his face, without the slightest hostility, but there is still a bit of it Age-inappropriate playfulness, "I brought the man, look."

Tiqi turned around when he heard the words, but his gaze froze.

Standing timidly at the door was a young boy, slightly short in stature, with his head slightly lowered, and a few drops of water hanging from his soft silver hair half-covered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.He obviously looks like a good baby, but he appears in this kind of place; he is obviously cautious, but he doesn't show any trace of fear.What a contradictory existence.

"Hi, my name is Allen." The boy bowed politely, "Allen Walker."

"Mr. Millennium, are you joking with me?" Tiqi asked jokingly, but his eyes still stayed on the young man's face, and there was a sense of familiarity between the delicate eyebrows and eyes.

"No, No, I never joke." The elder shook his fingers, shrank comfortably in the classical Italian sofa, and handed Tiqi a list as if by magic.

"This is the task content of the next goal, just look at it and understand."

A specious smile, a little playful.

——Parallel Bar, a gay club with a lot of fish and dragons.

"Hey, little brother... came to find friends?" Along with the frivolous tone, there was a strong and pungent smell of alcohol.A thick arm restlessly climbed onto his shoulder, and Allen turned his head to the side, only seeing the fleshy face.

"No, I already have someone, and I'm looking for him now... Sorry, please excuse me." Allen smiled politely and avoided, and then looked around the crowd.But the latter didn't seem to want to let him go.

"Come on, what are you sorry for...don't look for it if you can't find it, why don't you let the uncle accompany you tonight..."

"Sorry," suddenly a bass voice came from behind, and the drunk turned his head angrily, but only saw a handsome face that made no reason to be harsh, "This young man is mine, is there any misunderstanding?"

"Uh..." The drunk man was about to say something, but he found that the outstretched hand had been held by this person at some point, and his wrist felt sore, and it immediately went limp. "No, it's nothing..." The drunk laughed along, knowing that he couldn't offend the person in front of him, so he had to apologize bitterly, "It's just a mistake, play slowly...play slowly."

Tiqi took a sip of his cigarette, ignored the guy who fled quickly, dusted off the cigarette ash, and turned his eyes back to the person in front of him.

"Thank you." The young man thanked him politely, but the smile in his eyes was quite wary.

"Don't tell me you're here for the first time," Tiqi approached, wrapping his arms around the boy's waist naturally, his eyes still wandering in the crowd, "Or, are you a master of acting?"

"Hmm... the organization was engaged in drug sales before, and I have never been to this kind of place." The young man admitted honestly, with the same unemotional smile on his face, "Maybe I'm not used to it."

"Oh? Really." Tiqi lowered his head slightly, and moved his chin slowly down against the hair of the person in his arms. The smooth lines intertwined and overlapped, and finally reached his ears, "Then you'd better get used to it as soon as possible, I I don’t like a partner who hinders my work..." The slender fingers ran through his hair, and the boy still kept smiling, leaning on the man's arms docilely, letting the knuckles rub against his ears through the glove, and letting the low tone whisper He said: "Although you are quite to my liking."

Seen from the surroundings, this is really a couple who are envious of others, and the scenery is unique.

"Don't worry about it, I have a measure." Allen raised his hand to smooth out the messed up hair, and said sideways.

"That's good." Tiqi let go of his arms and let the person in his arms move freely, "But it seems that I don't suit your appetite."

"How could it be?" The young man turned sideways with a smile, and wiped the soot from the corner of his clothes for the man.

The task this time was surprisingly easy.

It seems that Tiqi hasn't taken on this kind of errand that doesn't require killing people for a long time, so that when he receives the errand, he has the illusion of going on a public holiday.No, there is even a "beautiful woman" to accompany her.

"I know you like to act alone, but this mission does require cooperation. Don't worry, this guy is reliable even though he has just arrived, and his skills will not hold you back. It was hard for me to find this guy Corner..." The old guy's leisurely and self-satisfied words are still in my ears, but this natural dumb who can even get lost in the bar to go to the bathroom, and is repeatedly robbed on the way back doesn't look like a "ruthless character who won't hold back".

Is this guy too into the show?Tiqi wasn't sure, he couldn't see through the mist floating in those dove gray eyes, and he couldn't read what was hidden behind that always gentle but unfamiliar smile.

Forget it, anyway, it's just a "male companion" used to deceive people when performing tasks in this special bar.In the eyes of others, the sexual orientation of his ace killer has probably always been unknown.But in fact, Tiqi has always been willing to refuse any stunner who comes to his door, and it is suitable for both men and women.What's more, this time he is such an unpredictable guy, which is interesting.Thinking of this, Tiqi raised his arms to hug the people around him, so as not to get lost inadvertently—there are always many people who are greedy for good things.

But it was empty.Tiqi looked at the empty space beside her and raised her eyebrows helplessly. Could it be true that she got lost again?

"Grand slam! Haha!—" There was another burst of noise from the crowd not far away, probably some short-lived master won money again. "Kids, come and play with your uncles? It's boring to just stand and watch." Hearing this sentence, Tiqi immediately had a clue in his mind - this guy really came on vacation.

"Come on, come on, this is very fun! Once you learn it, we will teach you." A big dark man with his arms around a thin guy waved at his new "prey" from the sofa, and his golden nose ring followed The whistling breath flickered.The crowd around the audience also responded with "yes, yes", waiting to see a good show.

"I..." Before Allen, who was blinking at a table of poker, opened his mouth, his collar tightened, and then he was dragged over like a chicken.

"Don't make troubles," although Tiqi loves to play, but he is meticulous in his work, "I don't like naughty..." Before he finished speaking, the "chicken" in his hand bumped into someone head-on .

"Chicken" apologized repeatedly, but was taken aback when he looked up and saw the person's face clearly.Tiqi also frowned slightly—why are there still women in the gay club?

After a closer look, I understand.This person's figure is still quite tall, but his long and smooth hair makes his back easily mistaken for a woman.But looking at it from the front, it is not "soft" - although that face is delicate enough to make all women itch with envy, but the sharp look is an obvious danger signal.

"Get out of the way." Sure enough, strangers should not come near.The two very different elements of softness and sharpness can be reconciled so seamlessly—another contradictory existence.Tiqi couldn't help but look at the boy behind him. "Yes... I'm sorry." The latter hurriedly stepped aside to make way, but his eyes were still fixed on the person who passed by.

"Why, you're also interested in this area? You look good." Tiqi teased, and didn't care about the momentary low pressure behind her. "Why, how is it possible. By the way, that table just now seemed quite interesting, why don't you go and have a look?" Allen pointed reluctantly at the gambling table behind him.

Can this be called a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?Tiqi looked at the group of hooligans who were laughing lewdly at the table, thinking that it would be good for him to teach him a lesson, maybe he could see some funny scenes, so he grabbed the boy and said, "Okay."

Before the words fell, the person in his arms was already sitting at the gambling table and gearing up.

Really can't wait, adapt quickly.Tiqi leisurely puffed out smoke rings. Anyway, if he loses, he won't be paying.

……

"—pay for it."

The boy showed off the straight flush in his hand like a primary school student showing off a big red flower to his parents, smiling harmlessly.

The atmosphere seemed to stagnate for a moment, and Tiqi's astonishment was not much less than that of the stunned sculpture on the table: even if he is as experienced as he is, he only understands that the young man has moved his hands and feet, but he can't see what kind of technique he used.Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is really not easy.As early as halfway through the game, Tiqi had already been surprised by Alian's sophisticated aura, which was completely different from Chunliang's appearance, so much so that the cigarette in his hand was left in the air for a long time and he forgot to smoke, letting the cigarette end burn out.

Looking at the mischievous young man who was sitting among the mountains of gambling money shuffling his cards but still said "I'm a good boy, don't bully me", Tiqi suddenly became very interested.The faint desire to explore is like ants crawling all over the atrium, itching - he has always been interested and curious about unexpected things, and he has no resistance to this unexpected "surprise".But before he could think any more, a rude curse interrupted his thoughts.

"Damn, it's impossible! I'm such a good card...you're a cheater!" The big man with the nose ring stood up, put his legs on the chair, and yelled angrily.The few next to him also stood up cursing, looking ready to go, and the people around were either watching the excitement or eagerly looking at this side.Except for the "Keep away from strangers" in the corner - he seems to have never belonged to the same world as this room.

"Hand over the money! Seeing that you are young and don't know the rules, just hand over the money honestly and then kneel down and beg for mercy to save you from suffering!" The big man took out a machete from nowhere, and stuck it in the gambling table superior.

"Why did I give it to you? Didn't I win?" The boy seemed to completely ignore the existence of the knife, pointing at the card innocently, then turned his head and looked at Tiqi for help, "Is it?"

Don't try to drag me into the water.Tiqi raised his eyebrows and glanced at the troublemaker, unmoved.

"Hey! The kid is still stubborn, you look for... ahhh!" The scolding stopped abruptly, and the bright sword fell from the air just halfway through the swing, and it was inserted into the unfortunate gambling table again with a "thump" , what was even more unfortunate was that the big man fell down again heavily, crushing the gaming table to pieces.

All of a sudden, the room was like dry wood ignited by a spark, crackling and burning suddenly.The sound of cursing and slashing can be heard endlessly.Of course, that "stay away from strangers" still watched with cold eyes, and finally left quietly with no expression on his face.

The perpetrator, however, threw down the other with one hand and played very vigorously. Just as he was about to swing up a chair beside him, he felt that his arm was suddenly caught, so he turned around and kicked it--when he looked closely, it was the one with the expression "Look at you." Innocent implicated people who look like good deeds.

"Come here." It was the chick-carrying mode being dragged away from the scene again.

pat-

As soon as the door of the men's room was closed, the noise from the outside world was immediately blocked out of the door.Allen's eyes stayed on the door for a while, then he looked back at Tiqi with a big smirk.

"Don't smile at me like that," Tiqi unhurriedly took out a cigarette and lit it. "I don't want to lose everything."

"Hey," Allen stuck out his tongue apologetically, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it when I saw the cards. In the end, I messed up the task. I really hug..." "It's okay," Tiqi leaned back on the sink Standing, with one hand propped behind his back inadvertently, he groped along the edge, "Anyway, the task has been completed."

"Eh?" Allen was taken aback, he didn't know the specific content of the mission, "Don't you have to wait for the target to appear?"

Tiqi didn't answer, just glanced at him with a half-smile, and then changed the subject again. "That long-haired one is pretty." Tiqi muttered casually, and stopped looking at him.

"Eh? Oh... yes." Unexpectedly, the other party would mention this suddenly, Allen was just taken aback.

"It's a pity that there is only one person."

"Maybe it's too fierce and no one dares to approach it... What, are you interested?" Allen joked.

"Savvy is good. But compared to him," Tiqi looked into the boy's eyes and slowly approached, "I like you more."

"Really? That's really an honor." This time it was Allen who changed the subject, "But after the mission is over, there is no need to continue to pretend. The problem now is how to get out. It is very lively outside."

"So what? Did I say to go out through the main entrance?" Tiqi took a sip of cigarette nonchalantly.

"so?"

"Look at your skill." Tiqi raised his head.

Allen followed the other party's gaze, and saw the high ventilation window.Although this is the second floor, it is not a problem at all for the two extraordinary killers.

"It's simple. But Tiki..."

"Ok?"

"Smoking in the toilet, doesn't it smell weird?"

"..."
