The Death List Novel - Chapter 301
Chapter 301 Acquaintance
Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he turned around. Seeing the professional beauty who had just left behind him, as well as the white-suited youth beside him, he was slightly stunned. He raised his glass and nodded at them.
“I’m Lisa and he’s Yin. Nice to meet you!” The beautiful woman who was accustomed to changing clothes held out her hand to Qin Lun, but she did not recognize the young man who had changed his equipment and his temperament.
“We’ve known each other for a long time, two examiners!” Qin Lun sighed and shook Lisa’s little hand helplessly.
“Pu!” Silver couldn’t help but choke on a mouthful of red wine that she had just drank, soaking her fair and slender neck wet.
“Ah … damn it!” Lisa was slightly stunned, but she immediately felt the slippery back of her neck. She immediately turned around and glared fiercely at Silver. Seeing his companion dodge to the side with a laugh, he turned around and looked at Qin Lun again.
The chameleon itself was an expert in disguise. It only took a few glances to confirm Qin Lun’s identity. If Qin Lun hadn’t turned his back towards them earlier, he wouldn’t have created such a huge black dragon.
“Hehe, people rely on clothes, Buddha relies on golden clothes!” “Qin Lun, have you ever been out of Meteor Street before?” Silver smiled as he raised his wine glass at Qin Lun and rolled his eyes, as if he was asking casually, “Qin Lun, have you ever been out of Meteor Street before?”
Qin Lun laughed in his heart, but he pretended to be in pain and said something.
His indifferent and heartless temperament was very similar to that of the Meteor Street thugs, but after all, he had never lived in Meteor Street before. Sooner or later, his habit of accidentally exposing himself would arouse the suspicions of the gangs. However, there was already some concealment in the identity information given to him by the Broken Star System, and with the addition of his polish, there wouldn’t be too much of a problem.
Qin Lun wasn’t born on Meteor Street, but was a noble descendant of a certain country, amongst the native identities that the Broken Star Sky had prepared for him. As a result of the civil unrest, he was trafficked in his childhood by traffickers, but he was robbed by bandits along the way and tossed into Meteor Street as a corpse several times.
In this identity document, there had indeed been chaos in that small country, and the identity of a noble disciple was not fabricated. Even human traffickers and bandits did exist. However, that true noble boy had long since died, and his clan had also been destroyed in the chaos, making it impossible to trace him.
The identification information prepared by the Broken Star System was naturally flawless. As long as Qin Lun didn’t have any problems, not to mention a gang organization, even the Hunter Association in this world wouldn’t be able to find out.
Hearing Qin Lun’s words, Yin and Lisa exchanged glances, dispelling many doubts. Most aristocratic children would receive etiquette lessons from childhood onwards. The tragic fate of entering Meteor Street in his childhood could also explain why the youth treated Little Nan and Little Ya differently.
Moreover, Qin Lun’s words had a nose and eyes. As long as Yin and Lisa’s gang tracked them down, they would know if they were real or not.
Thinking of this, the two of them immediately lost their mood to chat with Qin Lun. They didn’t come to the deck for fun, but to rope in a few more Meteor Street thugs who were participating in the Hunter’s Examination, hoping to complete the recruitment quota for the organization.
However, Qin Lun did not intend to let them off. He did not take the initiative to ask the two of them about it because he did not want to arouse suspicion. But now that the two of them had taken the initiative to deliver him to the door, it would be a pity if he didn’t talk too much.
“Inspector Lisa, since we have already signed an employment contract, can you tell us the name of the organization and the general content of our work?” Qin Lun smiled and asked the professional beauty.
Lisa and Yin exchanged a glance. Logically speaking, they couldn’t reveal the organization to the rookies yet. They had to wait for them to pass the training of their spiritual ability and be able to use it before they could tell the whole story.
However, this was only a process. Judging from the abilities of the four Meteor Street thugs, they were certain that they would be able to pass the psychic training. Tell them in advance that they can also sell favors, and there will be fewer barriers between them in the future.
Thinking of this, Lisa looked around and lowered her voice, “Our organization is called the Dark Beast …”
After listening to Lisa and Silver’s intermittent explanations, Qin Lun finally had a general understanding of the Dark Beast organization he was in, and also had some guesses about the main mission behind it.
The Dark Beast wasn’t actually a subordinate of a specific gang. It was more like a mercenary force jointly hired by a gang organization all over the world. The Dark Beasts weren’t very large in scale. The members of the organization were divided into several levels according to their levels, and they were stationed in different parts of the world.
The core members of the Dark Beast organization only accepted the assignment of the world-class gang leader, the Ten Old Man, while the main members were responsible for receiving missions from the various gang organizations. For example, assassination, protection of VIPs, spying on intelligence, and so on, all types of missions.
As for Qin Lun and the other rookies, they were temporarily unable to take on missions. They had to wait for them to undergo a short period of mental training before they could be dispatched to various parts of the world to perform various missions.
As most of the members of the Dark Beast were psychic, their organizational structure was extremely loose and did not have any strong binding force. The core members are not necessarily stronger than the other peripheral members, but they are more loyal to the gangs.
Even if they were new members, as long as they completed their first employment contract, even if they left the organization later, the Dark Beast would not pursue them.
This was mainly due to the fact that the psychic powers were all very powerful, and they were used to being free and loose, so it was impossible for them to accept the restraints of the gangs. It was easy to get together and disperse, and they could continue to cooperate in the future. The gangs didn’t lack resources, so as long as they managed to recruit them properly, they would always be able to leave some people behind.
For this reason, the size of the Dark Beast had always remained at a certain limit. Every year, some people would leave, but some would be recruited. Actually, this was also in the interests of the gang. After all, it was too powerful a mental organization to be controlled by the gang alone.
The Dark Beast members were mostly familiar partners, and would not gather together like real mercenaries. Some of these small gangs were very strong, while others were weaker.
As for the troops directly under the “Ten Old Man”, apart from their loyalty, their martial power was only at the medium level. After all, gang leaders were only ordinary people. How could true experts obey ordinary people for money and women?
After giving Qin Lun an explanation, Yin and Lisa winked at each other and left.
Although Qin Lun really wanted to say something more, especially information about his ability to read, he still endured it and didn’t ask the two of them any further. To be able to obtain so much information from the two of them was already not bad. If he continued to ask, he would simply cause trouble for himself.
Qin Lun turned around and faced the glass window again. He seemed to be looking at the scenery outside the window, but in reality, the light in his eyes changed as he carefully digested the information the two of them had just given him. The steam that had been erased from the glass window had been restored, and it looked blurry and could even reflect the public area behind him.
It was noon, and there were a lot more rioters on Meteor Street who came out for a stroll. Qin Lun and the others were considered members of the Dark Beast, and they lived in the core area of the airship, bringing their own bars and salons. Most of the idle people who appeared in the public area now belonged to the Meteor Street thugs who took part in the Hunter’s Examination.
Silver and Lisa, who had left Qin Lun, were scattering and chatting with each other, wanting to drag the experts of these people into the Dark Beast.
These thugs on Meteor Street weren’t obsessed with becoming hunters. Most of them just wanted to use airships to leave Meteor Street. As long as the gangs were able to offer some tangible benefits, many people would reconsider. This was also the main reason why Yin and Lisa had only reached the target of four people, but were not in a hurry.
On the steam-covered glass window, the blurry figures flashed past one after another. Qin Lun shook his glass without paying any attention, his expression somewhat disappointed.
The young man’s detection halo had a range of 70 meters. In addition to the Eye of the Clock, which fused with the Heavenly Spirit Eye, the surveillance of the entire public area was as clear as a palm print.
Meteor Street thugs currently appearing in the public area were mixed in strength. Some of them seemed to be just ordinary people, and they had yet to awaken their minds, but their expressions were ferocious and their physiques were relatively strong. Some of the stronger ones were similar to the three Meteor Street thugs who had joined the Dark Beast. Although they had awakened their psychic power, they were still unable to use it.
If it was all at this level, it was not worth Qin Lun standing here and continuing to blow the wind.
“Eh!” Just as he was about to turn around and return to his room, Qin Lun’s eyes suddenly flashed and a strange expression appeared on his face. “It should be him. Why is he here? Coincidentally, or …”
Every time he entered the quest world, the Broken Star System would usually give the apostle a cover, but if he didn’t spend the Crystal on it, his original appearance would be maintained. At this moment, Qin Lun maintained his original appearance, and the person he had just discovered seemed to be the same.
The acquaintance was about to leave the public area and head to the lounge. Qin Lun’s mind turned. He turned around and drank all the red wine in his glass. He casually placed it on a tray of a passing waiter and quietly followed the acquaintance in front of him.
The man in front of him walked for a while in the hallway, but suddenly he turned around and turned into a fork in the road.
Qin Lun only frowned. A black and red target suddenly appeared in his left eye. His right eye turned into a silver dial, and the two hands slowly pulsed inside. “Has he been discovered? It seems that he hasn’t left much behind during this period of time.”
A strange smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face. He continued to approach the fork in the road at the same pace as before, but the Evil Dagger quietly fell into his palm from the cuff of his right hand. With a flip of his left hand, he took out an olive-shaped fruit from his storage space and stuffed it into his mouth, hiding it under his tongue.
This fruit was a restored item he had purchased from the Apostle Filling Tombstone Half-Plane Market. It was a world-class treasure and was called the “Filipino Fruit”. From this action, it could be seen that Qin Lun was extremely fearful of the person in front of him. Even if he didn’t have the intention to fight, he had already made sufficient preparations.
Just as he reached the fork in the road, Qin Lun’s originally steady footsteps suddenly stopped and he stopped where he was. The ambush at the fork in the road obviously did not expect him to suddenly stop. Under the intense force of the attack, he staggered out of the fork in the road.
Surprisingly, Qin Lun did not take advantage of the situation. Instead, he chuckled and took a few steps back, raising his hands to show that he did not have any ill intentions.
“Long time no see, Rand!”
