A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

When the morning light first came through, the room was filled with mottled light and shadow, covering the newly uncovered quilt. The warm temperature of the quilt was intertwined with the woman's remaining body temperature.

The regular hum of the cold brew coffee machine in the kitchen forms a duet with the morning news broadcast by the smart phone in the living room, which belongs only to the modern era.

The bathroom door was ajar, with wisps of steam coming out, mixed with the fragrance of shower gel, and the sound of water coming from inside, which made people imagine a lot.

The cell phone on the table in the living room rang over and over again, becoming the only discordant sound in this harmonious atmosphere.

With a click, the faucet was turned off neatly. Perhaps the person taking a shower finally heard the ringing sound, or perhaps he was finally annoyed by the ringing sound.

Then, a woman wrapped in a bath towel and with a good figure pushed open the bathroom door, walked slowly to the living room table, and looked down at her mobile phone, or to be more precise, at the caller ID.

(dad)

The woman took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and bent down to slowly pick up the phone. Her green fingers hesitantly reached for the answer button.

beep.

"Hello? What took you so long to answer the phone?"

A man's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Taking a shower."

The woman said calmly.

"...When will you be back?"

The man got straight to the point.

"You've asked me this many times, and I've said it many times, I don't want to answer it anymore."

The woman said impatiently.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed very patient. He paused for a moment and then continued:

"Don't look for him. You won't find him."

"Who are you looking for?"

The woman knew who was talking on the other end of the phone, but she still asked deliberately.

The man was not in a hurry to expose the truth. After all, this was not the first time. He just told the truth:

"You don't even know where he disappeared. It's impossible for you to find him. Even if you do, he'll be dead, with no remains left."

"You've been looking for more than a month. Give up and go home."

"..."

The man's words seemed to finally give the woman an answer she didn't want.

"That is to say, he is still dead..."

In fact, she had already guessed it a long time ago, but the little unrealistic fantasy in her heart was still supporting her to continue searching.

"...Since you have already guessed this result, you should face the reality and give up as soon as possible. There is no need to stay in that kind of place. Go home. Your mother misses you very much."

The man's words softened a bit.

"Since you confirmed his death before me, you must also know his location, right?"

The person on the other end of the phone kept silent, clearly indicating his agreement.

"Tell me the exact location and I'll go find him."

"...Why won't you listen? The man is already dead, why are you still looking for him? What's the point?"

"Don't worry about it. If you still consider me your daughter, just tell me."

The woman spoke word by word, without getting angry or crying, but her tone was as cold as frost.

"......well......"

A man sighed helplessly from the other end of the phone.

"It seems I can't persuade you anymore... well, if you want to go, go ahead. You can give up after seeing it."

"I'll send someone to pick you up."

"No need, just send me the location and I'll go by myself."

"You won't even give me this little chance now? Fine..."

The man said nothing more and hung up the phone silently.

The woman lowered her arm holding the phone and stood there for a long time until the coffee machine in the kitchen sounded an alarm, and then she came to her senses.

......

Four hours later, on the outskirts of Shan City.

The woman trudged through the forest breathlessly.

She never went out before, but now she has no choice but to go hiking...

Bai Ye...if you want to die, why don't you die closer...

I have to hide in this broken mountain...

The only good news is that the tallest tree in the forest is right in front of us, at least it won't run around...

Even the locals rarely visit this mountain. I really don’t know how they found it.

"They" naturally refers to Nightingale's traitors.

But a traitor...

In today's situation, perhaps the loser is the traitor.

I was so blind to enter such a shabby place where right and wrong are mixed up.

The woman thought angrily, as if this could relieve some of her physical fatigue.

I don’t know how long they have been walking in the deep forest. Anyway, the woman is already sweating profusely and she rests after walking for a while.

That person must have been alone at the time, fleeing endlessly in this broken forest...

Finally, the woman looked up and saw an extremely thick giant sequoia tree, standing out among the trees like a crane among chickens, looking extremely abrupt.

Finally...it's here...

The woman smiled tiredly, her eyes went dark, and she fell to the ground.

......

When I woke up again, it was pitch black all around.

The woman slowly got up from the ground.

Really, what a waste of time...

Turning on the flashlight she had prepared long ago, the woman found the location of the tree and walked towards it step by step.

What a tall tree! I have never seen such a tall tree in my life.

Bai Ye, Bai Ye, you really know how to choose a position for yourself...

Walking under the tree, the woman began to look for something.

That is the symbol of the Nightingale Organization.

Wherever the mission target dies, there will be some kind of mark left nearby.

As long as you find the mark, you can find the person.

But think about it, what if the body has already been disposed of?

Although under normal circumstances, Nightingales prefer to do things naturally and will not deliberately deal with corpses that die in the wild.

But that person has a special identity, and the person who killed him also needs his body as proof that the mission was accomplished...

Just as she was thinking about it, the flashlight in the woman's hand shone on a mark that was extremely familiar to her.

A nightingale...

The woman could guess that this place had been processed, and the special flashlight in her hand immediately switched modes, the light changed color, and reflected a messy mark.

A figure leaning against a tree root and a large pool of blood.

"finally found you."

The woman seemed to have thousands of words in her heart, but when she came to her lips there was only this one sentence.

But this also means that his body was finally disposed of...

I didn't expect Nightingale's bastard to be so ruthless and leave nothing behind...

After days of continuous high-intensity work and hours of trekking in the mountains, the woman could no longer hold on. Her legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

Even so, she still struggled to move towards the place where the man died, and finally curled up between the roots and branches of the tree.

"Why......"

"Bai Ye, you dead wood..."

"So many years have passed. Can't you let go of the hatred? Can't you just be your chief?"

"I told you that you can't beat them..."

“You deserve it…”

"Deserve it!"

The tears that had been held back for more than a month flowed from the corners of my eyes and dripped onto the land where that person died.

"Is it because I told you before... that if someone bullies you, you have to pay them back tenfold, huh?"

"Then you should also remember that I said that only I can bully you..."

"But now that you're dead, who can I bully..."

"Answer me, answer me!"

"Why do you think I came to this crappy organization to look for you?"

“Wuwuwu….”

While cursing someone who could no longer hear her words, the woman clenched her fists and hit the nearest tree roots hard, venting the complex emotions in her heart that were difficult to resolve.

"Get out of here right now and apologize to me..."

"Please..."

The woman was speaking incoherently, having long lost her usual calm and witty self.

I don’t know how much time passed, the bright moonlight parted the clouds, sprinkled on the forest, under the tree, and on the woman’s tear-stained face.

At the very least...

At least let me see him one last time...

No matter what he has become now...

Let me see him again.

......

I've cried enough, my tears are almost dry.

But what's the use?

Once a person is dead, he is dead. Can shedding a lot of tears bring him back to life?

The woman repeated similar words countless times in her mind, and finally slowly got up from the ground, sat on the tree roots, recovered her legs that had just become numb from crawling, and prepared to embark on her journey home.

Bai Ye, I mean what I say. From now on, I will never touch this line of work again. Not only that, I will make those who betrayed you pay the price...

Although I may not be able to do as much as you can...

But I'll do it my way...

After feeling that she could walk normally again, the woman finally stood up and walked back the way she came, step by step.

Just then, the woman felt a light emerging behind her.

She was sure that the flashlight had been put away just now, so she turned her head sharply and looked at the giant tree.

I saw that the tree was still standing there, the only difference was that a faint light appeared at the roots where I was just now.

The woman, who had never seen glowing tree roots in her life, did not care about her sore legs and numb feet, and immediately returned to the glowing tree roots, squatted down, and reached out to touch the roots that were emitting a mysterious light.

An apparition?

The moment her hand touched the tree root, a magnetic female voice suddenly appeared in the woman's mind:

"What are you looking for?"

......
