Chapter 276 (1/2)
United States, NYC.
In the middle of the night, the clock tower points to twelve, and the city rings midnight.
Above the bell tower, there was darkness all around.
The sound of rain crackling on the glass can be vaguely heard.
”Ding!”
When she opened the lid of the lighter, Emily reached out to light the cigarette in her hand and took a deep breath.
In the light of the fire, you can see her bare arms, like the colorful flower arm tattoo of viper.
Sparks spread, thick smoke from the mouth, her consciousness slightly trembled.
This scene seems to have been similar. The sadness and despair in her heart at this moment is just like when she left her brother five years ago.
It rained like this that day. They were at the bus stop respectively.
At that moment, how she wanted to call the driver to stop, more wanted to beat the window hard to attract my brother's attention, wanted to jump out of the car and run to him.
I want to tear all the barriers between him and myself.
She wanted to breathe fast, her eyes were red, her body was shaking, and she moved herself to tears in the fierce imagination.
And the fact is that she sat still, quietly passing her brother, watching him getting farther and farther behind, more and more unclear.
After that, there was a road not to return, and this road was her own choice, there was no way back.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the dark. As the sound became clearer and clearer, a figure emerged slowly, and the street lights around it gradually lit up.
A man with a beard came from a distance, holding a paper bag in his hand and a headset on his head. His steps seemed to follow the rhythm of the music.
Seeing this man appear, Emily's eyes show a trace of sadness, and she sincerely hopes that he will not be close again.
But she had no choice. That was her task.
Because he's a killer!
And the man below is her teacher, a former ace killer who has retired and now lives a safe life. It was he who taught Emily all kinds of killing skills that made her grow up to the present level.
They used to be friends as well as teachers, but
Emily slowly lowered her forehead, pressed her cheek against the cold butt of the gun, and looked down at the man below through the sight glass.
In fact, with her technology, there is no need to aim, but this is her final farewell to this tutor.
”Bang!”
The bullet came out of the barrel of the gun. It hit the man's forehead precisely and brought up a blood mist.
As a result of the installation of muffler, the sound is very small, did not disturb anyone.
After another look at the fallen man through the sight glass, Emily's lips trembled slightly, then took out her mobile phone from her pocket and dialed a number.
After three rings of ”Du ~ Du ~ Du ~”
the phone was picked up, but no voice came.
”Mission complete, target kill!”
”Black lily, well done...”
Emily hung up the phone before waiting for the end of the conversation. Then she picked up the ”kiss of the black Lily” and put it on the ground and began to dismantle it quickly.
In less than two minutes, the complex sniper gun was disassembled into parts and put into a cello case.
After that, she got up quickly and climbed down the wall with cello box on her back.
The body quickly sank into the darkness.
At the end of the list, Emily got another month's holiday, but she was confused.
She didn't know where to go or what her future would be like.
Was she shot like her mentor? Or was a mistake caught on the way? Or die in some dark corner.
It seems that her thoughts about the future are always connected with death, and Emily has a wry smile on her lips.
Because she's a killer!
As she was walking, she suddenly felt something wrong. Her keen insight made her feel someone peeping in the dark.
She quickened her pace and began to run.
”Bang!”
The gun rang, and Emily jumped forward decisively.
This shot was very accurate, but Emily's reaction was fast enough to avoid the fatal injury. However, her calf was hit, and she was blown out of an egg size wound.
Knowing that there is a killer in the dark, Emily resolutely moves the cello box to the front and shrinks to the back.
From the direction of the bullet, she determined the location of the killer, so her actions immediately made the killer lose his target.
A silent stalemate.
Apart from the sound of the pattering rain hitting the ground, there was silence all around.
As time went on, Emily knew that her chance came when the street lamp was dark because there was no sound.
She decisively opened the cello case from the side and quickly assembled her sniper gun.
”Bang!” The shots rang again, but this time they did not shoot at Emily, but at the post under the street lamp.
The sound of the bullet hitting the metal immediately woke up the street lights around.
This time, the assassin in the dark clearly saw Emily who was assembling the sniper gun through the eyepiece. A ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then the muzzle of the gun turned around and aimed at Emily.
”Bang!”
