The Death List Novel - Chapter 304
Chapter 304 York City
On the Red Gobi Continent, the Lulu Clan’s car city was filled with corpses and smoke, and the surrounding tents had already been set on fire. Apart from the occasional crackling of the fire, the city was deathly silent. Under the blazing sun, one could actually feel traces of a gloomy and cold aura.
The only tent in the carriage city that was still intact was the central tent. Originally, this was Great Elder Goblin’s residence, but a month ago, Old Goblin finally ran out of oil and died.
The successor was Didi’s father, Gerd. Fortunately, Gerd was not in the city at the moment. He was leading a group of people to “pick up scraps” on the Gobi Desert and accidentally avoided this calamity.
Currently, there were two human women in the tent. One of them wore a judo uniform, her long hair tied into a ponytail hanging behind her head, and her expression was clearly unbearable. The other woman looked younger, seemingly only sixteen or seventeen years old. She had short hair and a playful and cute expression on her face. She looked lively and cute.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with excitement, like a young girl who had a Barbie doll for the first time. However, if anyone saw what she was holding in her hand now, they would definitely not find it interesting anymore.
She stretched out her right arm and grabbed a goblin guard’s skycap with her fingers like hooks, lifting him high into the air. Traces of blood mixed with pale yellow brain marrow were dripping down her wrist. Before the Goblin Guards were completely dead, their limbs involuntarily twitched slightly.
“Lord Mei, can you leave now?” Yoshida Junko glanced at the girl in front of him. When his gaze fell on the tragic Goblin, he couldn’t help but shiver.
Sometimes, she really couldn’t understand how such a gentle young man could have such a murderous demonic sister who treated her life like grass. Moreover, judging from the expression on her face, she seemed to be enjoying the slaughter process.
“Hehe, are you afraid?” Qin Mei smiled and casually threw the corpse in her hand into the corner of the tent like a garbage bag. She turned around and patted Junko’s cheek. She said angrily, “Don’t be so worried. You’re just like a little old woman at such a young age.”
Qin Mei spread out her arms and clicked on the ground in the tent. She circled around and winked at Junko. She smiled playfully and said, “You have to be as lively and cute as me in order to maintain a young girl’s heart!”
Junko glanced at the corpses and pools of blood on the ground, his eyelids twitching as he said expressionlessly, “My lord, have you found any useful memories?”
“Yes, these little things only know that he went to the Moonlight Forest of the Elves.” Qin Mei squatted down, touched a pool of blood under her feet with her fingers, and put it into her mouth to suck with relish, “Let’s go, look for the nearby star door. It seems that only star door can leave the scarlet Gobi.”
…
“Here we are, get off the car!” Yin greeted his two companions and opened the car door.
“This is York City?” Qin Lun looked around curiously, observing his surroundings.
Unlike Watt, a small town in the countryside, York is a relatively modern city, roughly at the level of the Earth Federation at the beginning of the 21st century. Tall buildings stood everywhere in the center of the city, and the main business district was brightly lit, full of the bustling scenery of a modern city.
Similar to the Earth Federation, of course, this bustling modern city has poor slums and low-rise suburbs.
Yesterday, Qin Lun finally chose to guard the Yorkson Auction House out of the two missions that Silver had given him.
His idea is very simple. His main purpose of entering this world has been achieved. After the slaughter aura was transformed into a manifestation of his psychic power, Joey’s combat power had increased significantly, and his next main mission had become a secondary target.
Since he hadn’t really fought with the Hunter in this world, he didn’t know what level of combat power he was at in this world. It was obviously not a good choice to rashly carry out an assassination mission alone. Instead, they worked with Silver and Lisa to gather intelligence and explore the plot in greater depth.
After accepting the job of guarding the auction house, Broken Star Sky finally gave the main mission on the death list. However, the description of this main mission is very unclear, and not all of it is just the first part of a chain mission.
The strangest thing was that this main mission had nothing to do with the security work of the auction house. It was a very pure slaughter mission. The first part is to ask him to join one of the two opposing camps.
Even if Qin Lunzhi had a hundred tricks, he was still a little confused, so he had to take a step and see. At least until he came into contact with the two parties, he was unable to make any decision.
“Yin, are the three of us the only ones sent by the organization to take charge of the security work this time?” Qin Lun turned around and asked his companion.
“Of course not. There are also the troops sent by the Tenth Old Man. We are considered non-staff personnel. We are responsible for patrolling the city to find out the hidden factors that are unfavorable to the auction.” Lisa put on her golden-rimmed glasses and replied first.
“If it weren’t for your relationship, Lisa and I wouldn’t have come this time.” Silver smiled and added, “The reward for our last mission was very generous. We originally planned to rest for a while.”
Yorkson City’s Dream Auction was a large-scale auction organized by the Mafia. Most of the items sold were extremely valuable art treasures and antiques.
However, because the gangs were very powerful in Yorkson City, there had never been any problems at previous auctions. The Dark Beast Organization did not pay much attention to the safety of the auctions. The reason why the Tenth Old Man was sent out was because during the auction, it was also the Tenth Old Man’s annual meeting.
The “Ten Old Man” was the leader of the mafia organization in the six continents of the world. The council they formed was also the highest-level coordinating body of the mafia organization. Every year, gangs all over the world have wars and differences for their own benefit, and the annual council has a lot to do with reconciling these differences.
Although most of the “Ten Old Man” would not personally arrive, they would still send out their own representatives. However, for safety reasons, they still claimed that there would be “Ten Old Man”, and at the same time, there would be Yin Beasts under the direct control of the gangs responsible for guarding the area.
In all seriousness, the Ten Old Man’s direct subordinate Yin Beasts were different from Qin Lun and the others. Although they were also Yin Beasts, they no longer belonged to the true Yin Beast Organization, but directly obeyed the orders of the gang leader.
Qin Lun actually didn’t know that he had changed history to some extent. Originally, other than the Ten Old Man’s direct subordinate Yin Beasts, there would not be anyone from the Yin Beast Headquarters participating in the protection work during this auction.
Unlike the young man’s choice, the other six thugs from Meteor Street chose assassination missions. To them, they were more accustomed to participating in direct battles than to cherishing their lives like Qin Lun.
Silver was right. He and Lisa had come to York City because of Qin Lun. This was because the youth had already agreed to join Silver and Lisa’s small group and would act together with them in the future.
Most of the official members of the Dark Beast Organization had learned to read. However, in terms of combat ability, there was no doubt that the Meteor Street thugs had the strongest potential for advancement.
These people had always been living in the worst conditions, constantly fighting and facing the threat of death every day.
In this kind of environment, the Meteor Street thugs had a stronger will to fight than the other Dark Beast members. As long as they were tempered for a period of time without being corroded by the Flower World, most of them would become very strong readers.
However, most of the thugs on Meteor Street were bloodthirsty and eccentric, making it difficult for them to merge with other small groups. A gentle-looking fellow like Qin Lun was rare.
In the underground castle of Watt City, Yin and Lisa had actually sparred with Qin Lun a few times.
During the spar, Qin Lun didn’t hide anything and displayed all the combat abilities he could use. Silver and Lisa were testing him, and he also wanted to see the battle level of the world’s readers.
To their astonishment, even though Qin Lun had only learned the foundations of the Four Great Elements of Sense, after the slaughter aura had been completely transformed and combined with his spear skills, he had displayed combat strength no weaker than Silver and Lisa.
In the eyes of Yin and Lisa, this young man from Meteor Street had already reached the standard of an official hunter. However, he still lacked practical combat experience with psychics.
Although Qin Lun only knew how to use his psychic ability, he could only use “tangle” and “hair”, and could hardly use “peerless”. However, his endless level of “hair” skill made the two of them look like geniuses.
In fact, the so-called “hair” skills Qin Lun used were basically the apostle skills he already had.
For example, the damage attributed to the Light-Dark Burial Bullet was, in the eyes of Silver and Lisa, a transformational thought. The Pentagram Crystal Mirror Array was used as a release system. Adding on the control system of the simulation ability and the manifestation system of the Evil Dagger, Qin Lun displayed a four-element “release” ability.
Qin Lun’s performance surprised and delighted Yin and Lisa. In their eyes, the young man was a talented person with great potential. Moreover, compared to the other Meteor Street thugs, Qin Lun had a good temper that could be described as a model youth, allowing the two of them to finally make up their minds to pull him into their own small group.
Out of consideration for Qin Lun, Yin and Lisa changed their original schedule and came to York City with him. They intended to give the youth some experience during his first mission.
“Haha, thank you two.” Qin Lun smiled and nodded. Then he asked, “We have already arrived. Should we go somewhere to report now?”
“No, there’s no need. Your mission is to investigate the hidden dangers of Yorkson City. If necessary, inform the Tenth Old Man and their subordinate Dark Beasts.” “Maybe we can take a shortcut. I remember that the Norstra Clan also participated in this auction …” Yin thought for a moment.
