Chapter 55: ,Small dogs
There is a task list inside Tianluo Villa.
This list is updated every two months, based on the transmission of pigeons between places.
On the list, there are not only the task of hunting down some high-ranking officials who have done a lot of injustice, but also some people who are to be arrested on the arrest documents issued by the serious officials.
As long as the bid is high enough, it can be placed on the top of the list.
Of course, some people can't be killed, even if they are on the list and hang there all the year round, and the remuneration is ridiculously high, no one will take the risk.
Whether or not to accept the mission is the freedom of Tianluo Villa. The role of the list of Tianluo Villa is to deter some dignitaries who act arrogantly.
As long as there is enough money in this world, there is always someone who can buy the life of an unrighteous person.
Moreover, there are several iron laws in Tianluo Villa's reward list - do not kill women and children, and do not kill innocent people.
In short, this list is updated every half a month, and most of the tasks on this list are to kill the most vicious people, as well as some organizations and forces that breed injustice in the dark.
And the tasks are also divided into A, B, and C, respectively. Basically, there are very few tasks that are skipped, unless they are dead.
Now there is a desperate person on the list, a second-class dead man, but he leapt to the first-class task.
And it's still like not resting, keep picking up.
After refreshing the list, in addition to Gu Miru, other dead men in the villa, including Gu Yancheng, noticed this crazy second-class dead man.
Gu Miru knew with her toes that this "madman" must be Lin Zhong.
Gu Miru had only found it in her memory before. To pass the assessment of the first-class dead man, she would have to wait until next year when the Tianluo Thirteenth Formation opened.
Such a year is enough for Lin Zhong's suspension bridge effect to disappear.
But Gu Miru ignored that wanting to become a first-class dead man is not the only way to wait for the Tianluo Thirteenth Formation.
In Tianluo Villa, there is also a rule, that is, you can reach the corresponding level by accumulating hundreds of tasks by skipping the level.
At that time, the evaluation will be carried out by the owner of the villa in person, and the first-class dead soldiers accumulated by doing the tasks can even get rid of the villa business, because the money that the villa has accumulated after doing hundreds of tasks is enough to prove the value of their existence.
It's just that since the establishment of this rule, very few people have been able to meet the standard, and a few have achieved it, and now they are all the sect masters of the villa in various places.
Gu Miru stood in the hall, looking at the status of the newly written task, as if watching Lin Zhong slaughtering his colleagues in an endlessly intensive manner.
Why should he do this?
The Thirteen Arrays of Tian Luo are just a level of water, fire, wind, rain, snakes, insects, rats, ants, and the like. The most difficult thing is the last two levels—the first-class dead men in the same door.
But to upgrade through tasks, it is really walking on the edge of life and death every time.
The more vicious people on this task list, the more experts around them.
Although Lin Zhong's overall quality is estimated by Gu Miru, he has already reached the standard of a first-class dead man, but he single-handedly performs various assassination tasks, which is like taking his life.
Gu Miru frowned tightly and returned to her yard, she didn't understand.
The system said in Gu Miru's mind: [What kind of bad thoughts can the puppy have, he just wants to be by your side. 】
"But the plot has collapsed." Gu Miru said: "No matter where King Su is taken by Fo Lian, when he comes out, he cannot do without a woman who is not the heroine, and he will soon be judged to lose his role as the hero. Qualifications."
Gu Miru was in her room and did not communicate with the system in her head, but spoke directly.
It was one of Gu Miru's plans to lose King Su's qualifications as a leading actor. According to the previous world's hero and heroine who changed hands, the judged hero and heroine did not meet certain standards and would be disqualified.
After the male protagonist is disqualified, Fu Yu'er, the heroine, may also be disqualified. In this way, it is easier for Lin Zhong to get rid of the plot completely.
Everything developed according to the prediction of taking care of Miru. As long as the male protagonist's disqualification plot collapses, the supporting role of Lin Zhong will be gone.
This was supposed to be a good thing, but...
Gu Miru sat on the bed, clenched her hands tightly, frowned and said, "He's trying to kill himself now, and he will kill himself easily."
The system said: [Then what should I do, find him and let him come back. 】
it's the only way.
Gu Miru sighed.
Otherwise, if Lin Zhong directly kills himself, this world mission will be ruined.
Gu Miru poured herself a cup of tea, Lin Zhong was too stubborn, and Gu Miru felt a headache.
At the same time, my heart seemed to be hit by something lightly, and the calm lake water rippled slightly.
Gu Mi knew how much Lin Zhong cherished his life.
In order to be by his side, he couldn't even wait for the thirteenth formation of Tian Luo during the Chinese New Year, so he chose such a dangerous road...
Gu Miru slept all night in a complicated mood, and the next morning began to try to find Lin Zhong's whereabouts.
But it wasn't that easy to find. These missions were scattered all over the place, and Lin Zhong wasn't even in the imperial city now.
Gu Miru sent people to pay attention to some of the missions in the imperial city to no avail, and it was another fifteen days in a blink of an eye.
The task list was refreshed again, and Lin Zhong jumped the ranks to do more than a dozen tasks. In this short half month, he traveled to six or seven towns.
All of them are leapfrog missions.
He is not the registered deceased of Tianluo Villa, and his deed of selling himself is gone. Therefore, when he was doing the task, he used the new code name he gave himself... it was called Rabbit Lamp.
Gu Miru remembered that she gave him a rabbit lamp.
These are all very handy things for Gu Miru.
Including being good to Lin Zhong and teaching Lin Zhong martial arts.
But Gu Miru didn't know how important these were to Lin Zhong.
Looking at his experience in the first half of his life as barren as a desert, all the good things Gu Miru gave him were unique to him.
He cannot lose.
Gu Miru looked at the list of tasks refreshed, her forehead throbbing.
In one month, Lin Zhong frantically completed twenty-five first-class slain quests. With this intensive progress, he could become a first-class slain in three or four months.
But the key is will he survive until then? He didn't even have first-class wound medicine on him. How could he survive such an intensive mission?
A little injury will cause him to fail in the mission, and if he dies this time, he will have no chance to come back on the premise that he has gotten rid of the plot.
He doesn't even know!
This sudden appearance made Gu Yancheng stand in the mission hall and let out a "huh", and then ordered the guards behind him, saying, "Pay attention to this little rabbit."
Gu Miru sent people out to find no trace of Lin Zhong, so she had to say to Gu Yancheng, "Dad, send more people to find him."
Gu Yancheng turned his head to look at Gu Miru with a smile, he stood with his hands behind his back, and he was used to being in control of everything.
He had known for a long time that Gu Miru had sent people down the mountain to look for the trace of a second-class dead man, and he knew that she and the dead man had behaved intimately in the palace.
Gu Yancheng calmly went to get to know Lin Zhong, and found that this kid...well, he looks pretty good.
Gu Yancheng didn't speak, just looked at Gu Miru.
Gu Miru rubbed her brows with her fingertips and said, "Father, if our people find him anywhere, please let me know and bring him back directly. If he doesn't want to come back, I'll go there in person... "
"Don't tell Daddy?" Gu Yancheng looked at Gu Miru lovingly and said, "Because he doesn't want King Su?"
"No..." Gu Miru scratched her head, rarely feeling weak.
But in order for Gu Yancheng to send someone to find Lin Zhong quickly, Gu Miru thought about it and said, "He ran away in anger with me, because I said that there is no shortage of second-class dead men around me."
"He can't die." Gu Miru looked at Gu Yancheng with unreal worry and anxiety: "He is very important to me."
"You and him..." Gu Yancheng approached Gu Miru and said in a low voice, "Sleep together in Su Wang's mansion?"
Gu Miru's expression was stunned.
Gu Yancheng asked, "You fell in love with him, but if he didn't obey, you shot him with an arrow and wounded him into the house?"
Gu Miru: "...Nothing." Where does this come from?
Gu Miru didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but from Gu Yancheng's point of view, combined with the original character's temperament, it seemed that she could indeed do such a thing.
Gu Miru didn't know how to explain it, so she simply didn't explain. Gu Yancheng was fine, the sooner he found Lin Zhong, the better.
I understand Gu Yancheng's face, he said, "Don't worry, when did Dad get you something you like?"
"Dad thinks that his kid is still bloody, knowing that he is better than King Su."
"I'm married to you in the future. I can give him the seat of Tianluo Villa's deputy. If he does a good job, then Daddy will rest assured to hand you over to him and travel around the world!"
Gu Miru: "Daddy, stop talking."
System: [Host, you have to persevere. Although it sounds tempting to stay in this world and raise a wolf dog, your points do not allow it. 】
[Anyway, you have to accumulate some points. I always feel that the main system is not handling things right because of your collapse of the original plot this time. Maybe there will be a big one in the future, you can hold on. 】
Gu Miru responded in her head.
Sighed again.
Gu Yancheng was sent out to find people. Although Lin Zhong's trace was always locked, because he changed places too quickly, he often finished a task without resting and went straight to the next one.
So it was another half a month, but I still couldn't bring people back.
Moreover, the update speed of the tasks has slowed down. Lin Zhong has only completed five tasks in the past half month.
Thirty in all.
Although the tasks at the back became more difficult, but the speed became so slow, Gu Miru could only think of one reason - Lin Zhong was injured.
Certainly not badly injured.
Gu Miru's heart became more anxious, and more people were sent by Gu Yancheng.
And Lin Zhong, as Gu Mi expected, was indeed injured.
He was on an assassination mission that day, because he suddenly ran into a little girl in front of the mission target, his hand with the hidden weapon paused and changed the angle.
Because of this hesitation, the little girl did not die, and the mission target was not killed in one hit.
Then he was besieged.
The dead man of this family was obviously bought at Tianluo Villa, and this was the first time Lin Zhong had fought against so many first-class dead men.
Because they were in the same place, they both knew each other's tricks too well.
Lin Zhong's two fists were no match for his four hands, and he retreated steadily.
In the end, relying on Gu Miru to teach him the moves, he broke the opponent's knife array and ran away.
But because breaking the formation needed to open the door of his own life, Lin Zhong was stabbed in the shoulder and in the arm.
And in order to prevent the neck from being cut open, he tilted his head at a critical moment, which was the knife he used for the head.
The knife was aggressive, straight at his facade, and slashed into his brow bone and side scalp.
The blood pouring out of Lin Zhong's face instantly covered half of his face, his eyes were full of blood, and he couldn't see anything.
In the end, he escaped very embarrassedly, and this task was not completed.
He took off his coat and ran to the mountain to hold the wound, found a cave to settle down, covered himself with thorns and grass, and breathed in the cave.
His brow bone slanted upwards to the scalp, and a knife slashed across it, cutting him almost to the point of slicing his brain out on the spot.
He thought of what Gu Miru had said before, and was glad that the other party was not using a heavy sword and a big sword, but a light long sword like him, otherwise, Lin Zhong would never have survived this time.
He curled up in the dark cave, rudely drugged and bandaged himself.
The medicines are all common wound medicines that are bought, and the effect is not so good.
Lin Zhong launched a high fever.
He was like a wounded beast exiled by the tribe.
He curled up alone in the cave for two whole days, relying on his youth and good health, he survived.
The wound was slightly festering, but Lin Zhong poked the wound against the stream and wrapped it again.
He hunted the hare, held it for a while, and remembered his rabbit lamp.
He couldn't take the lamp away, and left it in the Spring Breeze Building in the imperial city.
Yueniang was pressed by him with a knife on her delicate neck, and she promised, tremblingly, that the lamp is there, and the lamp is dead.
In the end, Lin Zhong didn't eat the rabbit, but let it go, and only found some fruit to feed his stomach.
That night, he quietly touched the mansion again, and under the overlapping guards, killed the task object with difficulty.
Then he bought dry food overnight, changed towns, and took on the task again.
As soon as he left on the front foot, the person looking for him on the back foot had already found the cave where he had been staying for two days.
After that, Lin Zhong still took the task as before, changed places, and traveled around.
People looking for him always miss him.
It was another half a month, and it had been two months since Lin Zhong left.
Gu Miru just fell asleep that night when she suddenly sat up from a dying illness.
The system prompts in my head: [The side story has been completed 1/3, the reward points are 100,000, and the accumulated points in the current space are 10,303,000. Please keep making persistent efforts. 】
Gu Miru sat there in a daze for a long time, Lin Zhong's side quest was to become a first-class dead man.
Judging from the progress of the tasks in the first half of the month, now, tonight, he should have completed the thirty-third... No, one-third of one hundred, that is, thirty-four tasks have been completed.
Hey.
Gu Miru sighed, and then lay down again.
She was a little confused, Lin Zhong hadn't found it yet, Gu Yancheng said that Lin Zhong found out that they were looking for him and deliberately avoided him.
He has already passed the book by flying pigeons and notified all the divisions. As long as there are tasks such as the death of the dead, he will carefully investigate.
The next thing Gu Miru could do was to wait. She couldn't help but wonder, why did Lin Zhong hide from his people?
At the same time, Lin Zhong completed a task and hid in the deserted house he found in advance.
This house is in the middle of the village, and the reason why no one lives is because several members of the family were killed.
He died terribly, and he had no close relatives. In this house, children came in to play and said they had seen dead people.
So it gradually became a haunted house.
No one would come here, Lin Zhong lay curled up on the kang, where he was injured today was his stomach.
Being stomped heavily, it hurts inside.
He was lying in the dark haunted house, listening intently to the movement outside.
Today he didn't bleed, and it was raining, so the wolfhounds of Tianluo Villa couldn't find him so easily.
Lin Zhong knew that Gu Miru was looking for him, and she must have guessed that she was the one who took over the task during this time.
But Lin Zhong didn't want to go back. He didn't want to be retrieved like this, then reprimanded and locked up with those dead soldiers for training.
That way, I still can't see her, can't talk to her, live, eat and practice martial arts together.
He didn't want to see her, as long as he completed one hundred first-class tasks, he could become a first-class dead man.
Gu Miru promised him, so they can change back to what they were before.
Lin Zhong's idea is very simple, he just wants to make everything return to the way it was before.
He closed his eyes, and there was no sound outside except for the sound of the rain.
In the early winter of October, the rain is so cold that people's hearts are cold.
Lin Zhong shivered, but his heart was hot.
Thirty-four have been completed, and only sixty-six need to be completed... He thought so, not knowing whether he fell asleep or passed out.
Gu Miru looked at the refreshed task list the next day and saw that Lin Zhong had completed thirty-four tasks.
In the past half month, his progress has been very slow.
The following tasks are getting more and more difficult, and these days, because Lin Zhong, a second-class dead man, takes over a first-class mission, this kind of overstepping and provocative behavior has aroused some first-class dead men who make a living by accepting missions. bloody.
For a time, the A-level tasks on the entire task list were somewhat sought-after, and the ones that were left unattended were definitely the ones that were not easy to complete.
This is what Lin Zhong received now.
Gu Miru bit her fingernails and asked the system a little sadly: [This world mission has collapsed, although the points I got won't be taken away, but there should be punishment in the follow-up? 】
System: [You said your ancestor, the main system is waiting to grab your braids. 】
Gu Miru sighed.
Gu Yancheng saw it in his eyes, and felt that the heat was almost there.
He deliberately let people not catch up these days, just to see the real ability of that kid. Also see how much your daughter values that kid.
It seems to be very important, at least compared to yelling at King Ai Su, but in fact, he suffers a little loss, so he has to run home and let him be the main focus.
Gu Yancheng walked to Gu Miru's side and said to Gu Miru, "Xiaoru, don't worry about it, our people have already been eyeing the people who are taking the task in Philadelphia."
"He took on a lot of assignments from the Philadelphia water bandits whose killers never returned."
Gu Miru has been staring at the tasks these days, and has also learned which of these tasks cannot be touched.
Philadelphia's water bandits are one of them.
Because the opponent's nest is in the canyon, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The bandit boss has thousands of people, forming a certain scale, and all of them are good at water warfare. The local officers and soldiers are very miserable. Walk around Philadelphia.
This task is the most important, A-level or above.
One that completes three mission points.
Lin Zhong's task was too slow and in a hurry, and he really lost his life.
In the face of a whole water army with combat experience, the opponent still has a natural geographical advantage.
He went alone, and didn't let the group of water bandits chop into meat?
Gu Miru reached out and wiped her face, the ripples in her heart blocked the layers of ripples.
Is it worth it, he didn't even know why he did it.
Pathetic and pathetic.
The system was affected by Gu Miru's emotions, and also said sadly: [He is so stupid, he just wants to come back to you. He had nothing and could only fight for his life. 】
Gu Miru's forehead twitched again: [You ask me to hold on for a while, to accumulate points, and then say such inciting words again, what do you want to do? 】
System: [People just feel it. 】
【Fuck off! 】 Gu Mi said with hatred.
She said to Gu Yancheng, "Dad, he can't complete this task, I have to bring someone to help him."
Gu Yancheng raised his eyebrows: "Are you going to risk him?"
Gu Miru said: "I'll start now. He didn't get into the bandit's den so quickly. It's better to stop him before he has an accident."
Gu Miru said she was going to leave, but Gu Yancheng grabbed her and said, "Dear daughter, have you figured it out?"
From Gu Yancheng's point of view, a foolish woman will only be willing to take risks for a man when she has real feelings for him.
This time, the good daughter didn't ask him to save people, but wanted to save them herself. Obviously, she was in deep trouble.
Gu Miru thought that Gu Yancheng was referring to the fact that she was going to save Lin Zhong, and she comforted Gu Yancheng in turn.
"Don't worry, Daddy, I will go in person and bring the few people I need, and I will definitely be able to bring him back safely."
Hearing this, Gu Yancheng looked back at the person behind him. The black-clothed guard immediately ordered the same thing, turned around and left silently.
Gu Miru counted the dead men following her, explained the destination, and then said, "You are all willing to go or not, and I will never punish you."
"The villa will not be punished, but if you don't go this time, you won't be able to follow me in the future."
Gu Miru packed her things that night and took a horse to leave the villa.
She thought that Gu Yancheng, the old father, would definitely worry about his instructions, or persuade her.
But Gu Yancheng just squinted his eyes, stood under the horse and patted Gu Miru's horse, and said, "The female university is not to be left behind."
Gu Miru: "...Dad, don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Gu Yancheng didn't stop her, Gu Miru breathed a sigh of relief, if there was something that the parents forcibly forbid, Gu Miru would have to struggle to quarrel with him.
She has been in the villa for the past two months, and she fully understands that Gu Yancheng's love for his daughter is more than a father's love for his daughter.
That is simply doting.
Gu Miru knew from memory that Gu Yancheng's wife, the mother of the original character, was a dead man like him, and died while performing a mission.
The two of them founded Tianluo Villa together. At first, there was only one door to open the year. Later, Gu Yancheng's wife died, and he took a daughter to expand Tianluo Villa little by little.
The reason why he dotes on his daughter is that he is afraid that one day her daughter will be like his wife and leave him.
Gu Yancheng is a particularly wise person. He knows that he is in a killer organization, and death is something he cannot avoid no matter how he hides it.
He strengthened himself, allowed his daughter to practice martial arts, and was doing everything he could to protect himself.
But he is not afraid of death and loss. He wants to pamper his beloved daughter every day when he is alive.
This is the wisdom that many people can't figure out, and can't understand for a lifetime - cherish the present.
Only those who are not afraid of landslides and tsunamis, who dare to move forward in the wind and rain, and who protect the warmth of their hearts, can truly love life.
Gu Yancheng is.
The more Gu Miru got along with him, the more he liked this Yue Zhiyuanting, a cheap father like the bright moon.
Gu Miru also loves life and life very much.
She is going to go now, to catch back the rabbit lamp who doesn't love herself, doesn't cherish life, and teach him how to be a human being.
