Chapter 79 What is Murder?

Long Jiang Hotel.

There is no one of the oldest five-star hotels in Longjiang City.

Although with the changes of the times, the hardware measures and relatively backward design structure here have long been unable to keep up with the pace of those new hotels.

But the location here is really good. The unrivaled river view alone cannot be compared with other hotels in Longjiang City.

At this time, Gao Tianlin, who had just returned from the replacement, was on the top floor of the Longjiang Hotel, overlooking the city's first-line river view.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, he made a call through the encryption software:
"How's the situation, have you seen the kid?"

"I see, that kid looks quite honest, he knows that I am your friend and he is very warm to me." A teasing voice came from the other end of the phone, "But he seems a little guarded against me, and he doesn't tell me where he is. I... Gao, you should have specifically explained this to him, right?"

"You're overthinking." Gao Tianlin flatly denied.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to admit such a thing.

Don't say there is no evidence, even if there is evidence, he will not admit it. After all, he doesn't want to make an enemy of that lunatic on the other end of the phone.

"Did I think too much, you understand it in your heart." The other side sneered, "If I guessed correctly, this is your new meat pig again?"

"This has nothing to do with you. Anyway, I owe you a favor this time. That's it. Let's hang up first." Gao Tianlin didn't want to say more.

He was not surprised that the lunatic would guess the relationship between Rorschach and him, but the reason why he asked the other party for help was because the other party was strong but did not dare to set foot in Dayan territory.

Therefore, even if that lunatic really found out that Luo Xia was in Longjiang City, he didn't have the conditions to compete with him for the new meat pig.

What's more, he has already explained on his side, and asked Luo Xia to be wary of the other party.

From what the lunatic said, it was not hard for him to hear that Rorschach was really obedient and did not violate his will.

"I'm a person who keeps my promise. As a reward for your obedience, I'll harvest you later." Gao Tianlin took off his top hat from the clothes rack next to him with a slight smile, and put it on his head again.

Regarding the new information that Luo Xia suddenly said that he remembered the woman in the photo, Gao Tianlin was of course a little skeptical, because if it was really such a coincidence, why didn't Luo Xia have any impression of it before?

But he really didn't think Rorschach, a rookie who had enlightened his spirit in front of him, had the guts to play tricks on him, so he went to that lunatic immediately to confirm whether what Rorschach told him about the situation in the gray area was true.

After getting an affirmative answer, he completely dispelled the last trace of doubt in his heart, and his mood immediately improved.

If he can catch the female disciple of the wild bear and gain an obedient pig this trip, it will undoubtedly be a worthwhile trip for him.

When he came to the first floor of the hotel, he sneered and glanced at the hotel doorman who was opening the door for the guests on the left side of the door with a sneer, and then walked away suddenly.

The doorman who he glanced at realized something when he saw the situation, and immediately threw off the guest's luggage and chased after him.

Because this doorman is none other than Blue Rabbit!

He has been harassing Gao Tianlin since he came to Longjiang City. Unfortunately, his strength is limited, so he can only harass him a little bit, and he can't solve this guy.

At the moment, like Gao Tianlin, he just finished the replacement, and he was thinking about how to continue to disgust the seventh gentleman, but he didn't expect that Gao Tianlin didn't play his cards according to the routine, and directly taunted him directly.

Coupled with Gao Tianlin's sudden departure, he couldn't help but feel bad: "Could it be that the knife has been exposed?"

The more Blue Rabbit thought about it, the more he felt that the situation was not good. Immediately, he didn't care about any disguise, and followed directly.

……

Rorschach's home.

"This time, it's really thanks to you, Ms. Su. If it weren't for the old Barton's help, I might have been found by the gentlemen's club."

When Zhang Xiaodao, who also came back from the replacement, saw Su Xueqi again, the first thing he did was to express his gratitude from the bottom of his heart, because during this replacement, Su Xueqi really helped her a lot with the escape route he prepared for her.

Under the cover of the ghost, the Gentlemen's Club's power in the Scarlet Flame Empire has nothing to do with her, not even touching the corner of her clothes.

This also allowed her to see how deep the ghost's background is.

"Did you go to Dreamland Tavern?" Su Xueqi asked.

"Yes, old Patton asked me to say hello to you." Zhang Xiaodao said.

"Old Barton? Oh, you should be talking about Uncle Ji. He changes his identity every now and then, so I can't remember." Su Xueqi thought for a while.

Although Su Xueqi acted lightly, Zhang Xiaodao expressed his thanks again and again, and then looked at Luo Xia expectantly.

"Can't wait?" Rorschach laughed.

"No, no, just, just..." Zhang Xiaodao stammered for a while, because she was really looking forward to it.

But when he said it directly, he seemed a little greedy, which made him look so embarrassing.

"That matter is not urgent, let's wait for someone first." Luo Xia smiled.

"Waiting for someone?" Zhang Xiaodao didn't know why.

Because Luo Xia didn't mention just now, who else would come, she only thought that there were other replacements who were familiar with Luo Xia.

dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the door.

Luo Xia motioned for Su Xueqi to open the door, but Su Xueqi didn't ask any further questions, and went straight to the door, and opened the door.

"Hello, is Luo Xia at home?" The person outside the door saw that it was a woman who opened the door, and asked after a moment of shock.

"Come in." Rorschach said towards the door.

At this time, Di Gao Tianlin, who was wearing a tuxedo and a top hat, had already walked in from the door. At the same time, he saw the red-haired Zhang Xiaodao standing beside Luo Xia for the first time, and said with a bright light:

"You really gave me a big surprise, Rorschach!"

At this time, Zhang Xiaodao also recognized this seventh gentleman who was dressed in a very personal style, and looked at Rorschach in disbelief:

"why?"

She never expected that the answer she had been waiting for for so long turned out to be like this.

What she didn't understand was that if Luo Xia and Su Xueqi really wanted to betray her, they wouldn't have to go through so much trouble, let alone use their crazy resources.

Luo Xia didn't answer Zhang Xiaodao, but looked at Gao Tianlin and said, "I've helped you so much, how are you going to thank me, Mr. Gao... Why don't you give me your seventh gentleman's position for me to sit down?" How about it?"

Gao Tianlin narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing that something was wrong.

He saw Zhang Xiaodao as soon as he entered the door before, so he didn't pay much attention to other details, but it was not until Luo Xia suddenly called him Mr. Gao and pointed out his real identity that he finally It seemed that the situation was a little different from what he had thought before.

You know, he never told Rorschach what his real name was, let alone his real identity.

On Luo Xia's side, he should be called Lin Tiantian.

"She told you my identity?" Gao Tianlin looked at Zhang Xiaodao.

"No, I told him." Su Xueqi, who had just opened the door for Gao Tianlin, had already closed the door and walked to Luo Xia's side, "The seventh gentleman in the dignified gentleman's club, there is no need to be so low-key."

"Oh? So, this beautiful lady is also a displacer?" Gao Tianlin asked calmly.

"Su Xueqi, the third person in charge of the Tianbei branch of Guituimo, I also met her in the first replacement." Luo Xia replied proactively.

"It turned out to be a friend of the ghost, I'm sorry." Gao Tianlin's heart tightened when he heard the name.

The size of the ghost mill is not comparable to that of a gentleman's club.

The three major international intelligence organizations, without exception, are behemoths that can turn a blind eye to the seven major intelligence organizations.

It's a pity that gentlemen's clubs are not eligible.

If you rank the powers below the Big Seven, the three major international intelligence organizations can all rank among the top ten, while the Gentlemen's Club is just like the zoo, at most it is a power at the Top 30 level, and the gap is indeed not small.

But Gao Tianlin obviously misunderstood something, and Luo Xia also explained to him very enthusiastically: "You don't have to be so vigilant, she has just successfully fused blood not long ago, and she must be incomparable to you in terms of strength."

However, although Luo Xia took the initiative to explain, Gao Tianlin still did not let go of his guard, because this was not just a matter of strength.

Unless he directly kills Su Xueqi and keeps her here forever, otherwise Su Xueqi will definitely have a way to make it difficult for him to move even a single step in Dayan territory by virtue of her ghostly resources, after all, he sneaked in in the first place.

But if he was really asked to kill Su Xueqi directly, he would not dare either.

If it was not a last resort, no one would want to offend the devil, even if there was only a certain chance of being discovered, he didn't want to bet.

For an organization at the level of Ghost Grinding, if a middle-level cadre at the level of a branch leader is killed, it is impossible to completely ignore it. At that time, a random search will find a lot of clues.

If he is really targeted by ghosts, he will not have a good life in the future.

"So, you already knew my identity when the last replacement was over?" Gao Tianlin looked at Luo Xia and said.

"Not bad." Rorschach nodded.

"I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would be manipulated by others. Well, it's very good... You are really good, and you are indeed the newcomer I am optimistic about." Gao Tianlin said with emotion.

"Thank you for the compliment." Rorschach smiled slightly.

Gao Tianlin, who found out that he had been tricked, didn't look angry, but is it possible for a conceited person like him not to be angry?

Ghosts believe.

Gao Tianlin shook his head and said: "I really didn't expect your luck to be so good that you could meet a noble person in the first exchange. This time I am unlucky...Give her to me, and I will treat her like never before. Haven't seen you."

When Gao Tianlin said this, he already grabbed Zhang Xiaodao with one hand.

Snapped!
His wrist was suddenly grabbed!
"Huh?" Gao Tianlin suddenly looked at Luo Xia, frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Except for you, everyone in this room belongs to me. What do you mean by me?" Luo Xia laughed.

"Don't force me to kill you, Rorschach...I admit that you are indeed very lucky and have great potential, but it is still easy for me to kill you before you grow up. Why do you have to force me?" Gao Tianlin sighed.

"If Abel encounters the same situation as you, he will directly attack without hesitation, kill the person in the way first, and then capture the target." Rorschach shook his head and said, "He told me before that you should not I still don't believe that I chose to do it directly, but now it seems that he really knows you better."

"He will tell you this?" Gao Tianlin did not get angry this time, but shook his head and smiled, "Do you think I will believe your nonsense..."

When Rorschach said something else, he might have to distinguish the truth from the false.

But Rorschach actually said that Abel was talking to him about himself, and he didn't even believe a single punctuation mark in this sentence.

Even if Rorschach really joined the ghost mill, it's impossible for that lunatic Abel to look up to him because of this kind of thing, let alone betraying his companions?
"I didn't need to tell you so much, but because you indirectly helped me enlighten my spirit, please satisfy your curiosity."

When Luo Xia said this, he looked at Su Xueqi, who immediately understood and started a video call with a communication software on his mobile phone.

Soon, a thin white man who looked extremely malnourished appeared in the video screen, and the background was in an old castle.

"What's the matter?" The other end of the communication asked in somewhat blunt Chinese. Obviously, Abel's Chinese level is not very good.

But this is not the first time he has communicated with Su Xueqi, the two of them had a brief communication just after the replacement, which was also agreed upon in the gray domain, so he naturally recognized Su Xueqi's appearance at this time.

"The boss is looking for you." Su Xueqi said.

Hearing these words, Abel immediately sat up straight, and Su Xueqi had already pointed the front camera of the mobile phone in the direction of Rorschach.

"I have seen my lord!"

When Abel saw Rorschach in the picture, he immediately bowed his head to express his respect.

"Shouldn't you say hello to your old colleague?" Rorschach laughed.

Only then did Abel shift his gaze to Gao Tianlin who was on the side, but he only glanced at it before saying to Rorschach again:

"My lord intends to kill him directly?"

"Will there be any worries?" Rorschach asked.

"Of course not. I can directly declare that he offended me and I killed him." Abel said without hesitation that he could claim the matter.

"That's not good, aren't you afraid that the first gentleman will trouble you?" Rorschach said.

"I'm looking forward to it." Abel smiled.

"Oh? So you've already made a breakthrough?" Rorschach asked in surprise after hearing what Abel meant.

"Thanks to the care of my lord, after I went back, I obtained the first merit of this sacrificial ceremony. Not only did I successfully break through to the third state, but I am now a second-level priest of the Church of Bliss." Abel couldn't help but smile when he said this .

Because this time his harvest is not insignificant!
The highest status in the Church of Bliss is naturally the Pope, and below the Pope are the bishops of the fourth state, including the bishop of Berne that Rorschach met, and below that are the first, second, and third-level priests .

Level [-] is the highest and Level [-] is the lowest.

Abel's ability to skip the third-level priest and become the second-level priest is enough to prove how prosperous he is in the Church of Elysium. Maybe it won't be long before he can go one step further and become the first-level priest after the bishop!
"You were only short of that last step. These are things that will happen sooner or later, so you don't need to thank me." Luo Xia shook his head and said.

"No, this breakthrough seems to be a little different. I think it may have something to do with your Lord's gift." Abel pondered.

Rorschach understood that Abel was talking about the power of purgatory. Presumably, the power of purgatory also played a role in Abel's breakthrough of the third state.

As for the specific role, it is obviously not suitable for communication in communication.

"Let's talk about that later. I haven't finished my work here yet. I'll see if I have time to go to your place when I'm done." Rorschach said.

"Yes!"

Abel immediately responded respectfully.

"Say goodbye to your old colleague, no, this may be the last time." Rorschach said to Abel on the other end of the video with a smile.

"Go all the way, Gao, it's an honor for you to die at the hands of my lord." Only then did Abel say a word to Gao Tianlin.

After Abel finished speaking, Su Xueqi hung up the communication.

What is killing and punishing one's heart?

Su Xueqi finally saw it today.

She dared to say that there is absolutely no more standard murder than this!

Gao Tianlin was indeed completely silent at this time.

He really wanted to tell himself that everything just now was not real, it was Rorschach who used some kind of illusion to try to crush his mind.

But he can deceive others, but he cannot deceive himself.

Apart from Abel's address and attitude towards Rorschach, there is no flaw in the other words and deeds.

At least based on Gao Tianlin's understanding of Abel, the one just now was definitely himself, and it wouldn't be some illusion.

"Who the hell are you..." Gao Tianlin looked at Luo Xia with a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart.

Because he suddenly felt that the person in front of him might not be the Rorschach he had been in contact with. Otherwise, with Abel's lunatic character, how could he recognize someone as the master?
Could it really be the newcomer who witnessed the spiritual enlightenment that made Abel, a cultist who was always inseparable from the evil god, so humble? Or, the so-called Rorschach in front of him has been taken away by the evil god at all!

Other than that, he couldn't think of any other reason!

"Based on your perception, it's hard for me to explain it clearly to you, but I'm sure you're the one watching Qiling." Luo Xia's hand that was holding Gao Tianlin had clenched a little more, making Gao Tianlin think instantly. To break free.

But how could Rorschach give him such an opportunity, he pulled it back violently, and one hand was already on his head!
At the same time, Luo Xia's other hand had already turned into a blade, and it just stabbed Gao Tianlin's chest without any skill!

"I won't torture you this time, let's go all the way." Luo Xia whispered in Gao Tianlin's ear, while extracting his soul.

Although Gao Tianlin's bronze-level soul is not so rare for Rorschach today, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

Besides, Gao Tianlin is not a mosquito, at least he is a mouse.

pat-

After pushing away Gao Tianlin's body, Luo Xia looked at Zhang Xiaodao, who was already speechless in shock, and said with a smile:
"What did you want to ask me just now?"

"I..." Zhang Xiaodao wanted to say something, but what happened just now was so shocking to her that her mind was a little blank now.

At this moment, Luo Xia and Su Xueqi looked towards the direction of the balcony, only to see a man dressed as a hotel doorman suddenly appear there.

It was only at this time that the other party saw the situation in the room clearly, and noticed Gao Tianlin who had fallen on the ground, his eyes were wider than a cow's!
Needless to say, this is naturally the long overdue Blue Rabbit.

He had been worried before that Gao Tianlin's sudden change of behavior might mean that he had already learned about Zhang Xiaodao's hiding place.

After all, he knew that Zhang Xiaodao was in Longjiang City.

He followed Gao Tianlin all the way, and his speed must not be as fast as Gao Tianlin with a clear goal, so he arrived so late.

It's just that even after beating him to death, he didn't expect that when he finally caught up, what he saw was Gao Tianlin who had been killed and turned into a corpse.
