Chapter 15 Sniper
After nearly half a month, Mod was diligent and honest.
What to do, only do more and not less.
Things that shouldn't be done, not even thoughts.
With such a perfect expression of coolie value, he gradually integrated into the circle of weapon shops.
Although Saul always said that he was very satisfied with him, he didn't let himself go. He still acted cautiously, and tried his best not to do those words and deeds that might go beyond or out of line.
He knew very well that Sol's casualness was real. When accepting him, he didn't pay attention to his past identity at all, but only looked at the value that could be displayed at the moment.
But if it doesn't show value, or if it causes Sol's dissatisfaction, then the current situation will usher in a change in an instant.
So when getting along with Sol, Maud will always pay close attention.
As for Sunny, after finding out her temperament, she became familiar with her in ten days.
When Maud found the second prey, the biggest problem was not how to kill that prey, but Sol's attitude.
"Sonny, if I kill the guy next door, do you think Thor will have an opinion on me?"
Maud leaned his back on the side of the hidden store door, tilted his head through the crack of the door, and observed the real situation in the alley.
Sunny looked up at Maud's profile and said lightly, "Which guy?"
"The one named Albert Red is the information you gave me. This name shouldn't be fake, right?"
"Are you questioning my intelligence capabilities?"
Sunny raised her eyebrows, her eyes pierced at Maud like needles.
Maud thought you'd have to read a newspaper over and over for hours...
After thinking about it, Maud did not dare to show it, and said sternly: "How can I question your ability, whenever I see the neighbor information you gave me, I can't help thinking, how professional intelligence is it? Only a member of the staff can clean up the neighbors' bottom line so cleanly."
When I first got the neighbor information from Sunny, the level of detail was so outrageous that Maud couldn't help sighing how many generations of bad luck would it take to meet a neighbor like Sunny.
Listening to Maud's bells and whistles, Sunny didn't take advantage of it, she snorted coldly, and said, "Many people in the town use fake names, so I can't guarantee whether some information is accurate in terms of real and fake names, but if it is These people next door, I can still guarantee."
Maud asked cautiously, "Did they mess with you?"
"No."
"Then why did you check them out so clearly?"
"Because they live next door to us."
Sunny looked at Maud with a "you're weird" look.
"..."
Maud was speechless for a moment, and silently pulled the topic back: "You haven't answered my question just now. If I kill Red, will Saul be upset or something?"
"How could I know such a thing?"
"All right."
"Reid has nothing to do with you, why did you kill him?"
"I think he's too loud."
Maud casually broke off a motive.
Speaking of which, the main reason why he noticed Reid as a neighbor was that when Reid passed the shop drunk several times, he would always shout some drunken words in his loud voice in the alley.
The content of the words is basically his performance when the pirate group robbed the merchant ships. It is probably how many people he killed during the robbery, and how to kill those hard bones.
But what impresses Maud is not these drunken words, but the ugly face of Reid when he uses these as a show of capital.
It is also thanks to Reid's loud voice that Maud realizes that there are many suitable prey around him, so there is no need to seek distance.
Listening to the motive for the murder given by Maud, Sunny suddenly said: "Yes, that guy is really noisy."
"Do you believe it?"
"?"
.............
Everything is ready,
Only owe the east wind.
After thinking about it carefully, Maud still felt it was necessary to explore Er's attitude first.
If Saul didn't care, he immediately picked up the gun and went to ambush Red.
But if Sol doesn't agree, then he can only give up the idea.
If there is such a thing as a silencer, there is no need to worry so much, and if there is an opportunity, you can kill Reid with a cold shot.
But the most fundamental reason is that the current self is too weak.
If you are strong enough, you are just going to kill a prey you like, why bother to take care of the consequences.
that night.
After dinner, Maud approached Sol.
After Maud made his point, Thor squinted at him while smoking a cigarette.
"Why do you want to kill Red?"
Like Sonny, Thor wants to know Maud's motives.
This time, it's certainly impossible for Maud to say perfunctory motives such as Red being too loud.
"Practice."
This is the answer that Maud thought up in advance.
Not much explanation, simple and rude.
Sol was a little surprised, and looked at Maud's expression carefully.
In the world of pirates, it is very common to take other people's lives to practice seeing blood.
Just as he had asked Maud to kill Watt himself in order to let Maud say goodbye to the past.
But he didn't expect that Maud would take the initiative, and he planned to give Maud another buffer time.
It was a matter of time anyway. Sol did not object, but he also reminded Maud.
"At your own risk."
Concise and concise, it is a reminder, and it is also a change of agreement.
As for Red's life and death, for Sol, it's not even as important as what to eat tonight.
"clear."
Maud was overjoyed.
With Sol's statement, he can let go and do it.
As for the possible consequences of killing Reid, he was already mentally prepared when he got the information from Sunny.
It's nothing more than that Red's pirate group may come to retaliate.
But as long as you do it cleanly, you don't have to worry about the consequences.
Three days later, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Maud hid in the shadows above the building, and while erecting [Usopp], he silently looked at the end of the alley through the weak light.
From the corner at the end, to the place where he was hiding, it was about a hundred meters away.
On the premise of ensuring accuracy, although the range of the smoothbore flintlock gun is far less than that of the rifled flintlock gun, it is just within 100 meters.
However, considering factors such as aging, Maud plans to start when Reid walks into the 60-meter range.
It has been eight full hours since I watched Red walk out of the alley in the evening.
In the evening, there were passers-by coming and going in the roadway, so there was no suitable time to shoot.
Now that the night is dark, there are basically no passers-by in sight, so there are fewer worries.
As long as Red comes back at this point, Maud will pull the trigger decisively.
Time passed slowly, and the moon was hidden behind the dark clouds.
The visibility in the alley is extremely low, and if it weren't for the few lights hanging on the wall, it would definitely be pitch black.
Maud waited patiently.
Tens of minutes later, before the Red Man appeared, the voice came one step ahead.
Maud suddenly raised his spirits and gathered his eyes to look at the end of the alley.
After a few breaths, two figures walking side by side entered the alley.
"two……!"
Maud cursed secretly.
A smoothbore flintlock has only one bullet, and after one shot it takes a while to reload the second.
This means that even if he succeeds in killing Reid, the other person will have enough time to find the concealment, and at the same time judge the location of the projectile based on the sound of gunfire and the direction of the blood spattered by Reid.
Can I just give up...
However, Sunny said that Red's pirate group will go to sea at noon tomorrow, and Maud can't shoot during the day, because there is no cover advantage brought by night during the day.
In other words, if you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait until the next time.
Maud frowned.
As the two walked step by step, the time left for him became more and more urgent.
Maud, who was hesitant at this time, never noticed a look that was watching him secretly.
