Chapter 26 Assassination
69 Hamburg Street is a high-end apartment building located in a densely populated area.
This is normal. The base of an evil profession is unlikely to be in a sparsely populated suburb. It must be in a downtown area because, when necessary, the surrounding ordinary people can be used as hostages.
Regardless of whether it is the Lawful faction or the Evil faction, they will use "mortals" as hostages when they are desperate.
He held his phone, walking towards the Punisher Branch while pondering.
"Joining the Free Aliiance requires layers of testing, it's really troublesome! Let me think about how they will examine me. My identity in the Second District is always a pretense. Although the boss gave me an identity, I don't belong to the Nihilism Sect."
"And a Level 6 loose cultivator who doesn't belong to the Nihilism Sect is rare even in the Second District. The Free Aliiance has probably already sent people to the Second District to check my identity. They can't find anything, so tonight's assessment should be verifying my past."
"The method is nothing more than a lie detector and an oath. If it's a lie detector, I don't have Hidden Protection and it's even more unsolvable. It's a bit of a headache..."
Zhang Yuanqing thought about it and felt that the only thing that could solve the predicament was the Perfect Human Skin.
Use the human skin to bear his own karma and let the Yin Corpse be a cannon fodder.
The Perfect Human Skin can only bear karma once, and it can't withstand long-term assessments. I can transfer the power of the lie detector to the Spirit Servant. As for the oath and contract, I remember that the oath at the Saint stage is also a one-time thing. I don't know if there will be any changes at the Overlord stage...
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up. Isn't there a Knight at the Overlord stage that he knows? Why not take the opportunity to freeload?
So he opened his address book, found "Zhai Cai", and after dialing for a few seconds, the phone gave a "cannot be reached" prompt.
"Did that cowardly Knight turn off his phone? Or has he already had his kidneys cut by the Free Aliiance?" Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while and dialed the phone number of Zhai Cai's secretary, An Dieqi.
When Zhai Cai moved to the Red Brick Building, Zhang Yuanqing and the small secretary with a slightly high hairline exchanged contact information.
This time the call went through smoothly, and a clear and crisp voice came from the speaker: "Xiaoyao Jianxian? Are you looking for Cai Zong!"
"Yes, his phone is off. Please give him the phone!"
"Wait a moment!"
After a dozen seconds, the One-Line Knight's cheap chuckle sounded from the speaker:
"Oh, you're still alive, not bad, not bad, your vitality is no less than a stinky rat in the gutter. Tell me, what do you want? Have you found any clues about the Tongtian Cult Master?"
Zhang Yuanqing maintained the Sword Master's coldness: "I will notify you, this stinky rat, if I have news. I'm in D now, please answer me a question, it's very important. Of course, you can refuse, then our cooperation ends here."
He said it very aggressively because he was sure that the One-Line Knight wanted to recover the Pope's relics, so he would rely on him, the Sword Master.
For tracking and investigation, the Sword Master is among the top three professions.
Sure enough, Zhai Cai chuckled: "Tell me first, and I'll consider whether to answer."
This guy's tone was as annoying as ever.
Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice, "For the Overlord stage oath contract, will it not rest until the violator is killed, or is it a one-time burst, and can you violate it as much as you want after enduring it?"
He was worried that after the Yin Corpse died in his place, the power of the contract oath would find that the main body was not dead and would continue to inflict damage.
"The penalties for violating contracts, oaths, and rules set by Knights only occur once."
"In addition, I must remind you that only higher-level Knights can revoke contracts, oaths, and rules. Besides, the Outlaw skill of the Disorderer can exploit loopholes in the rules and temporarily deceive oaths, contracts, and rules. If you want to avoid the Overlord stage oath, I suggest you try to find an item from the Drunkard profession at the Overlord stage." Zhai Cai said seriously.
It's not so easy to find Overlord stage items. Zhang Yuanqing said, "I understand! What about you, do you have any clues about the third Holy Plate?"
"Why should I tell you?" Zhai Cai said.
"It doesn't matter. You are now being targeted by the Free Aliiance. If the Punisher knows about the existence of the Holy Plate, they will definitely try to seize it. If you want to recover the Holy Plate, you can only ask me, a foreign old man with decent strength and no foundation, for help." Zhang Yuanqing didn't waste any words with him and ended the call decisively.
After listening to Zhai Cai's description, he already had a plan in his mind. Tonight, the main body has to come out in person, and then let the Yin Corpse put on the Perfect Human Skin to bear the karma.
Because the karma grafted by the Perfect Human Skin must be from the main body, not the clone.
In other words, if the clone encounters the power of a lie detector or contract, the Yin Corpse will take the hit and die on the spot.
Before long, the bank building was in sight. Zhang Yuanqing suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, my multiplayer dungeon is coming soon."
He has been in New York County for half a month. Multiplayer dungeons are a headache. Last time, because he carried too many Overlord-level items, he entered an Overlord-level single-player Spiritual Realm.
Now, the same accident will naturally not happen again, but the Purple-Gold Suit bound to the Character Card is an Overlord-level item, and he has also fused the Illusion God item, and is a dual-profession peak Saint.
He feels that even S-level Saint dungeons are childish, but if he is assigned to an Overlord-stage dungeon, and it is a multiplayer Spiritual Realm, Zhang Yuanqing feels that his chances of being completely screwed are greater.
What kind of dungeon will the Spiritual Realm arrange for him?
"See how it goes. If it really doesn't work, I'll let the president enter the dungeon to save people. He'd rather drop a level." Zhang Yuanqing thought.
10 p.m.
69 Hamburg Street, Kuns District, Zhang Yuanqing, wearing a duckbill cap and a mask, looked up at the shop sign. The English translation was roughly: Massage and Health Club.
This is a Y-style massage parlor. The entire Hamburg Street is a mixed-use type of commercial and residential area. The first floor is a shop, and the second floor onwards are apartments.
The mixed-use model makes the whole street full of vitality, with a huge flow of people.
People shuttle through the street, some entering restaurants, some entering supermarkets, and some entering various leisure and entertainment venues.
Zhang Yuanqing looked around, pressed down his hat, and entered the health club. As soon as he entered the shop, a young woman in a pink uniform, with painted eyebrows and eyes, greeted him and said, "Hello, sir, what kind of service do you need? This is the shop's project list."
Zhang Yuanqing quickly scanned the project list, somewhat disappointed, and withdrew his gaze. He went straight to the point: "I'm looking for Katherine. She asked me to meet her here at ten o'clock tonight."
The young woman in the pink uniform took back her smile, and a sharp look was hidden in her charming eyes. She scrutinized Zhang Yuanqing for a few seconds and said, "May I ask if you are..."
"Tongtian Cult Master!"
A smile appeared on the young woman's face again, "Please come with me. Katherine is waiting for you inside."
She led Zhang Yuanqing inside. The light inside was dim and warm. A unique fragrance floated in the air, with a bit of sweetness and a bit of illusion.
The corridor was quite spacious, with black tiles on the floor and walls. On the wall hung pictures of women lying on massage beds, showing their snow-white backs.
Zhang Yuanqing saw Katherine's photo inside.
On both sides of the corridor were individual rooms. With Zhang Yuanqing's hearing, he couldn't hear the sounds inside. If not for sensing that the men and women inside were either in a state of intense pleasure or enjoying the comfort of a massage and sleeping peacefully, he would have almost thought that Katherine had cleared the place for him.
This shows that the shop has soundproofing items.
Before long, the young woman led Zhang Yuanqing to a stop outside a private room, bowed, and said, "The manager is waiting for you inside." After saying that, she turned and left.
Zhang Yuanqing focused his senses and felt that there was only one emotion in the room before he pushed open the door wrapped in bronze carvings.
The moment he pushed open the door, a rich and sweet fragrance rushed into his nose.
The private room was large, with a bed, a rest area, and a bathtub of about ten square meters.
The bathtub was filled with warm water, filled with mist. Rose petals floated on the surface of the water. A beautiful woman with icy muscles and bones stood in the pool, with her back to him.
Her silver-white short hair was tied up, her jade chin was slender, and the curve of her white back undulated.
There was neither too much nor too little body fat, just enough to highlight the plumpness of a married woman. Her buttocks were as round as a full moon, and half of her sexy dimples were exposed on the surface of the water, which was very charming.
Katherine sighed:
"Tongtian Cult Master, you ruined our plan."
Zhang Yuanqing imitated Zhai Cai's annoying tone and said, "You wanted to assassinate Julian Mede and frame the Wuhang Aliiance, thereby intensifying the conflict between Winnie and Sean. Unfortunately, that guy named Jumu is a strong opponent. This is something that was not in the plan. What does it have to do with me, Katherine? Coming to see you tonight is my last bit of patience. If I hadn't just arrived and needed to rely on an organization, do you really think I would want to play these boring games with you?"
"Tell me, what is the final test? Let me say it in advance, if it's about sleeping with you, I refuse!"
The Tongtian Cult Master is a solitary lone wolf, does not like women, and is even less likely to be controlled by a Desire Profession. Based on the character setting, Zhang Yuanqing coldly and ruthlessly said these words.
But his inner thoughts were completely different: "Damn it, the Overlord-level Desire Profession, just a semi-naked body almost made me lose control. My mind is full of naked bodies."
