The Death List Novel - Chapter 302

Chapter 302 Gentleman’s Agreement

Judging from his appearance, the man in front of Qin Lun was truly somewhat sorry for his reputation. With some loose hair, wrinkled and dull skin on his face, and a bitter expression on his brows, coupled with his slightly hunched back, he was completely an old farmer who could not withstand the pressure of life in the countryside.

However, who could have imagined that this middle-aged man with a miserable expression and cloudy eyes would have killed thousands of people directly and indirectly in a few years? Amongst all the murderers who had entered the shattered starry sky, he was the undisputed number one in terms of number of people killed.

“Joey Foster?” Hearing Qin Lun’s greeting, Fireworks Rand’s body stiffened. He maintained his sneak attack posture and turned to face the youth. However, his left eye slid strangely to the corner of his eye and stared at Qin Lun with a sidelong gaze. His worried expression seemed to have suddenly turned into a dull zombie face.

The masked face and fierce eyes formed a strange scene. Even Qin Lun felt the back of his neck stand upright, as if he had run into a female ghost in the wilderness at night.

“Hehe, call me Qin Lun!” Qin Lun’s face twitched. He raised his hand to block his chest and slowly retreated. “Rand, relax, relax, I don’t have any ill intentions!”

“This world shouldn’t be entered by a guild. Did you follow me?” Lan De stood up and slowly turned around. He could tell that he was also afraid that Qin Lun would make a move.

“Coincidence, it’s a complete coincidence!” Qin Lun’s eyelids twitched slightly, and he was already cursing loudly in his heart. He was cursing the other three murderers. According to the intelligence of those three, Fireworks Rand had long since fallen behind among the five great murderers.

But now that he was facing Rand head-on, Qin Lun realized that there was a huge threat. Although there was no basis, the young man trusted his intuition very much. Fireworks Rand had definitely changed his profession. He might not be any weaker than him.

Rand stared at Qin Lun with a zombie face, not daring to relax at all. Qin Lun secretly cried out in his heart. This time, he had completely miscalculated. Knowing that Rand was suffering from an antisocial personality disorder, he was different from the other three murderers, yet he was still in contact with him without any special preparation.

It didn’t matter if it was in another place. Qin Lun didn’t mind testing the fireworks’ strength. However, the problem was that this place belonged to the sky. If the airship was blown up by this lunatic, he would be buried with him.

There is no word compromise in the dictionary for neurosis with antisocial personality disorders. When such a person feels threatened, the usual choice is self-destruction. If weapons of mass destruction were to be acquired again, self-destruction would become suicide.

The reason why the other murderers subconsciously avoided cooperating with Fireworks Rand was because the psychopaths with antisocial personality disorders were too unreliable. If the other murderers had a paranoid attack, they would at most destroy the plan.

For example, when Grant the Clown was in the World War II world, he had to kill Little Red Riding Hood when his paranoia broke out, and he didn’t even ask Qin Lun to help him.

And if Fireworks Rand’s paranoia broke out, it was most likely that he would drag everyone to their burial with him. Who would dare to cooperate with such a lunatic?

Just as they were confronting each other, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind Qin Lun. The two of them relaxed at the same time, and a passing waiter inadvertently resolved their awkward situation.

“Follow me!” Fireworks Rand’s eyes lit up and he tilted his head slightly, giving Qin Lun a look.

Qin Lun hesitated for a moment and immediately followed. Since both of them had reached this point, the two of them had to reach a certain understanding. Otherwise, before the airship landed, in order to prevent any tricks from happening, no one would dare to let the other party leave their line of sight.

Rand led Qin Lun through two corridors and into a small cabin. This was his room. The rooms on the airship were much smaller than normal hotel rooms, almost four to five square meters. There were only two side-by-side single beds, a locker at the top, and a dining board that could be folded up between the two single beds.

Of course, the guest rooms in Qin Lun’s core area were much larger. Although it was not the size of a normal hotel room, there was at least one more desk, wardrobe and bedside cabinet.

Since the airship was currently carrying Meteor Street thugs, Rand was the only person in the two-person cabin. Qin Lun sat reluctantly across from Rand. This was the first time the two of them had come into intimate contact.

The big eyes of the two murderers were unwilling to speak to the small eyes. Rand had such a personality, but Qin Lun didn’t know what to say.

“Are you taking the hunter exam?” Qin Lun knew that if he didn’t speak first, the two of them might have to do this until the airship landed, as long as they raised the topic first.

“Aren’t you?” Rand rolled his eyes at the stiff zombie. “I heard that there are only a few places left for us to pass the hunter exam. We are competitors,” he said with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat. Why did Rand think that he was going to take the Hunter’s Examination? He knew that this airship also had gangster mercenaries who had passed the selection. Could it be that Rand didn’t receive any guidance from the mercenary selection?

“Hmm? You didn’t take the hunter exam?” Seeing Qin Lun hesitate for a moment, Rand immediately regained his senses and his expression slowly turned ugly. He also understood that Qin Lun’s guidance mission was different from his. “So you really didn’t follow me into this world!”

Qin Lun’s mind spun, and a smile slowly appeared on his face. Since he sensed that Rand might not be weaker than him, there was no reason for the Broken Star System to favor one over the other. It also showed that Rand probably hadn’t met the prerequisite for the second option of the Guiding Mission. He didn’t have the killing intent of Joey.

Without the heart of an expert, there would be no spiritual force field. Without spiritual force field, there would be no mercenary choice. Naturally, there would be no second option to guide the mission.

“This airship belongs to the gang. This time, it is mainly used to transport the new mercenaries selected from Meteor Street, and also to transport the experts participating in the Hunter Examination for the Council of Patriarchs.” Qin Lun put on a confident smile and pretended to be friendly as he said, “This storyline might be more valuable than the storyline of the Hunter’s Examination. How about it? Do you want me to help you find a starting point?”

Since Rand hadn’t transformed into a spiritual force field, the two gangster examiners, Yin and Lisa, naturally wouldn’t be able to rope him in on the airship. However, Qin Lun believed that with his own recommendation, the two of them would reluctantly accept Rand. At worst, they would let him be a substitute on the periphery.

“No need!” Rand refused without hesitation. Regardless of whether it came from vigilance or self-esteem, it was impossible for him to accept Qin Lun’s favor.

After a short conversation, the two fell silent again. However, knowing that the other party wasn’t aiming for him to enter this world, the tension between the two of them had eased considerably.

“Since our plot lines don’t interfere with each other, then … won’t we invade each other on the airship?” Qin Lun’s expression was a little awkward. This was equivalent to showing weakness.

He was afraid that he would die. Just like the other murderers facing Joey, he sometimes had to back down. Qin Lun was also afraid that if this lunatic Rand got sick, he would drag him to his grave with him.

“No, we will directly sign a soul agreement that does not target each other in this world.” After a moment of silence, Rand raised a hand.

“Alright, if we meet again, you must inform me of the exact location when you set up the fireworks.” Qin Lun rolled his eyes and immediately added something. He extended his right hand and lightly patted Rand’s palm …

Walking out of Rand’s cabin, Qin Lun felt relieved and his footsteps became much lighter. Whether there were any other apostles in this world or not, at least he didn’t have to deal with another madman.

After this accident, Qin Lun didn’t have any interest in exploring the details of the other thugs. He went back to his room to cultivate and wait for the airship to land.

The flying speed of the airship wasn’t slow. After five to six hours of flying, they finally arrived at the destination of this trip-Watt City.

When Qin Lun got off the ship, he did not see Fireworks Rand again. Evidently, this murderer was also very fearful of him. Even though there was a gentleman’s agreement, he still did not plan to show his face again.

“Let’s go, let’s go to the organization branch here first!” Silver and Lisa were in high spirits.

Apart from Qin Lun’s original four people, their team had also joined three other mercenaries. It seemed that their efforts to recruit them on the airship had been very effective. Although they still haven’t achieved 100% of the target, they have at least reached the standard line and don’t need to be deducted from the mission reward by the organization.

Watt is a small agricultural town of the Republic of Jabian on the plains, on the banks of the Jabian River. The outskirts of the town are fertile, rich in all kinds of agricultural products and fruits, the main specialties are grapes and bayberries, but also the Republic of Jabian wine production, there are a large number of wine farms.

There were no modern high-rise buildings in Watt City. They were mainly small western-style buildings with medieval spires. They were filled with a small and fresh rural style.

After arriving here, other than Qin Lun, the other Meteor Street thugs who had never seen the world before were confused. They stared at the peaceful streets without taking their eyes off them. They were obviously attracted to this small town that looked like a paradise.

Seeing this, Yin and Lisa smiled. The gang had chosen Watt City as the first stop for mercenaries, so they naturally had their own goals. Compared to modern metropolises, the rural scenery of Watt City can appease the rampant temper of the Meteor Street thugs without inspiring their ambitions.

Judging from the previous data, they were accustomed to the slow pace of life in Watt City during the training period, and were better able to continue to keep Dark Beast members in the organization after the expiration of their first employment contract.

Because the streets of Watt City are not wide, there are fewer foreign tourists. There are no taxis in the transportation system here, but antique carriages. The nine of them called for three carriages. After half an hour, they finally arrived at the Dark Beast Organization branch on the outskirts of the town.

The branch of the Dark Beast Organization in Watt City was a winery. This large manor had a huge underground kingdom. Even Qin Lun couldn’t help but be surprised by the magnificence and grandeur of the underground castle as he walked down the wide tunnel.

“Welcome, Yin Beast’s new blood!” Under the guidance of Yin and Lisa, Qin Lun and the other six finally arrived at the bottom hall of the underground castle. An old gentleman in a wheelchair had been waiting here for a long time and extended his arms to welcome everyone.
