Ultimate Assassin: Start as the sixth floor in the Continental Hotel

awkward.

Very embarrassing.

Chen Yan, who became Kamisama, just wanted to give himself a slap in the face, but his pleasant words were remembered by the neon girl in front of him for 10 years.

Thinking about it carefully, not long after he came to this world, after a series of incidents happened in Japan, his second stop was New York. When he met Akiko Shimazu for the second time, she seemed to be wearing an OL outfit, Paris. Saga's black stockings are paired with Valentino's red-soled high heels.

Chen Yan and Shimazu Akiko first met in the distant future.

However, Shimazu Akiko and Chen Yan met for the first time nine years earlier.

It was early spring, and it was still a bit cold. The two of them would emit white air just by breathing, but Shimazu Akiko was only wearing a kimono, and the tip of her nose and cheeks were a little red from the cold.

"Long time no see, you are still so beautiful, Miss Shimazu."

Chen Yan held it in for a long time before he said this sentence.

"Your vocabulary is still so lacking." Akiko Shimazu gently let go of Chen Yan's shoulders and smiled playfully. "Mr. Black said that you have a girlfriend in Japan. Just praising a girl for her beauty will not make a girl fall in love with you, Mr. 006."

"You mainland hotel managers still like to gossip among themselves, don't you..." Chen Yan complained angrily, "Jingxiang is still young, and the emotions generated by the suspension bridge effect will not last long."

"No wonder Mr. Black said you are a straight man..." Shimazu Akiko nodded thoughtfully, "After all, ordinary men may be just wood, but you are a stone that cannot be penetrated by oil or salt."

"It's really not easy for an emotional idiot like you to have a girl like you."

However, Chen Yan did not feel annoyed when faced with Akiko Shimazu's cynicism. In fact, he now felt that Akiko Shimazu was right. After two lifetimes, he is still a pure idiot when it comes to relationships.

After all, for him, killing people is much easier than flirting with girls.

"It's cold outside, let's talk somewhere else." Chen Yan turned his head and snapped his fingers.

"Eh?" Akiko was stunned. Before she could react, a blue light flashed around her, and the environment changed instantly.

-------------------------------------------------- ----

Continental Hotel, New York, Room 818.

"Let's change the place to chat. Did you bring me to check out a room directly?" The smile on Mingzi's face froze, and she slowly turned her head, looking at Chen Yan as if she were looking at non-recyclable garbage, "This is still me. You manage the hotel, do you want me to be embarrassed to see people in the future?"

"Ten years ago and 10 years later, I stayed in this room when I came to New York, Miss Mingzi." Chen Yan looked around the room and said, "Fortunately, no one came to book a room here today... How about you help me contact you? Mr. Winston, please go through the booking procedures?"

"I can't tell, you're quite nostalgic." Akiko walked to the small bar in the room, "There's no need. Mr. Winston has been keeping this room for you since you disappeared from the world 10 years ago. .”

"Room 818 of the Continental Hotel in New York is now also called...the Legend House."

"There were no living legends in the Continental Hotel in the past." Chen Yan responded. He came to the small bar and said with some emotion, "Times have changed."

Akiko did not respond, but took out a bag of fresh coffee beans with ease and put them into the roaster to specify the roasting level. The distance between the grinding discs of the hand grinder did not need to be readjusted. The grinding method was very stable and the powder produced was also smooth. Very delicate, finally put it into the filter cup and pour hot water, and a cup of refined hand-ground coffee is ready.

Hand-ground coffee has a better taste and higher quality, can maintain the best flavor and aroma of coffee, and also increases the fun and ritual of making coffee.

Arabica coffee beans, medium roast, three sugar cubes, and simple latte art. This is Chen Yan's favorite taste. Don't drink too much, because drinking too much will definitely lead to diabetes.

For Chen Yan, everything in front of him was more like appreciating an art performance. What he didn't know was that Shimazu Akiko would try to make such coffee whenever she had free time in the past 10 years. The complicated process could Makes her feel calm and makes her more focused.

Ten years ago, the fall of the Continental Hotel in Osaka left the Shimadzu family in a state of decline. Koji Shimazu retreated behind the scenes, and Akiko Shimazu, who came to New York, took over Charon's job and helped manage the New York Continental as Winston's right-hand man. In the hotel, Winston has been training Mingzi as his successor.

But as Chen Yan said, times have changed now. The world no longer needs killers, and the services of the Continental Hotel are no longer unique. The days of killing are gone forever. Maybe she is now More suitable to be a barista.

The brewed coffee was slowly pushed in front of Chen Yan by Akiko. Shimazu Akiko had a faint smile on her face.

Chen Yan picked up the coffee and took a sip. The fresh coffee beans were roasted and ground to create a soft smell. The taste was fresh and slightly sweet, with a hint of sourness. It was refreshing and pleasant, and it still had a familiar taste.

As for whether there is any special intention in this cup of coffee that has been prepared over time and carefully, it is not something Chen Yan can know.

"It tastes good." Chen Yan savored the bitterness and sweetness in the cup and commented.

"You said at the farm earlier that you had a fight with God?" Akiko asked curiously, leaning on the bar with one hand on her chin.

"To be precise, I unilaterally threatened him." Chen Yan nodded noncommittally, "Underworld, Santu River, Heaven... the mysterious forces in this world do exist, but it is difficult for ordinary people to find the way to go there. method."

"Your journey is really colorful." The corners of Akiko's mouth raised slightly, "This is the first time I have seen a killer who can threaten the gods."

"The so-called gods are just a group of people with special powers. When my power exceeds those so-called gods, then to them, I am a god." Chen Yan said calmly, "Your mother, There is also Mr. Kane’s wife. In fact, I also asked those gods if they know their whereabouts. But they have been dead for so long that it will take some time to find their souls.”

"Although it's a bit abrupt...but, I prefer to see a happy ending, so I hope you don't mind my own decision."

"After seeing Ms. Helen's resurrection, I won't be surprised what happens in this world." Mingzi stared at Chen Yan's face and said in a daze, "My mother passed away when I was very young. My father often sheds tears looking at my mother’s photos, and I miss her very much too…”

"The Shimazu family owes you a lot, Chen Yan."

"There is no need to talk about this between friends." Chen Yan smiled and shook his head, "There is still some unknown darkness buried in this world. I have to go back to Prague later to see if Mr. Wesley has any What clue..."

"You have so many things to worry about." In response, Mingzi also responded with a smile: "I was about to say, 'The little girl has nothing to repay, but to give her life.' But you are still worrying about those people who have No."

The two of them smiled knowingly and started chatting. Although most of the time, Mingzi unilaterally talked about the changes and experiences in the past 10 years, while Chen Yan just listened quietly.

Now that the High Table has been destroyed, the Templar Order's evil research around the world has been shut down, and the rules of the Continental Hotel have been re-formulated, Winston and Charon, the golden partners, occasionally return to the New York Continent. The hotel helped Mingzi handle some official duties, and John and others enjoyed their retirement life. After all, these peaceful days were hard-won.

After this meeting, the time traveler will embark on his adventure again, and the manager of the Continental Hotel in New York will also return to his daily life.

In the new year, everyone has a bright future.
