Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

As dusk approached, the sky was gradually covered by orange-red sunset glow.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the earth, covering the entire city with a layer of light golden gauze.

In this peaceful and beautiful moment, Yuichi Shiina appeared at the door of a bar called Midorikawa.

This bar is inconspicuous and small, but it exudes a unique atmosphere.

There is no deafening music that can explode your eardrums, nor any sexy and hot dance performances.

On the contrary, it seems exceptionally quiet, as if it is a safe haven away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Yuichi Shiina walked into the bar, scanned the surroundings, and finally stopped on a sofa in the corner of the bar.

There sat a long-haired woman in ordinary casual clothes, waving at Shiina Yuichi.

Shiina Yuichi walked steadily to the woman and sat down opposite her. He quickly scanned the surroundings and then focused his attention on the woman in front of him.

"Where's the jinn bird?"

Shiina Yuichi asked, a hint of doubt in his tone.

"He's not here, so I'm the one looking for you today." Liu Ying took a sip of the cocktail in her hand and gestured to Shiina Yuichi.

"Would you like a drink? I got the breakup fee today."

Breakup fee?

Shiina Yuichi frowned, "You and I broke up?"

"Not really. I should say... I was fired?" Liu Ying's expression remained unchanged, but Shiina Yuichi could sense a hint of loss in her words.

"Then what do you want to talk to me about?" Shiina Yuichi was puzzled.

Liu Ying finished the wine in her hand in one gulp and looked at Shiina Yuichi seriously.

"I have a commission." Liu Ying's expression became very serious, and her already beautiful face now showed even more solemnity.

Hearing this, Shiina Yuichi's expression began to become serious. He looked straight at Liu Ying and said in a deep voice, "You mean, today is the meeting between the client and the bounty hunter?"

"That's right." Liu Ying admitted directly that she had other purposes in seeking out Shiina Yuichi.

Shiina Yuichi did not immediately agree to Liu Ying. He was thinking secretly in his heart.

With his years of experience, he had a hunch that the commission that Willow Warbler was talking about was most likely related to the Heron Bird.

This was not good news, because his plan required the bird to serve as bait.

Shiina Yuichi stared at Liu Ying closely, and the other party looked at him without any hesitation.

The two people's eyes met in the air, as if sparks could be created, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Finally, Shiina Yuichi broke the silence. He took a deep breath and said, "Then let's talk about your commission first."

Liu Ying nodded slightly to show her agreement. Her eyes became more determined and she said seriously, "Ever since the incident in Nagoya, the organization has been tracking us."

"Although we have been careful and have not been discovered by them, but..." Having said this, Liu Ying paused and then turned her gaze to Shiina Yuichi.

Shiina Yuichi felt a little uncomfortable being looked at, and he knew very well what was meant by Liu Ying's eyes.

In order to show their loyalty to the organization, he and Sakai Kuroo had to use the 鸩鸟 as a bargaining chip.

However, it was a helpless move, after all, the bird was not honest with them.

It can be said that both sides are taking advantage of each other and no one can blame the other.

"And then?" Shiina Yuichi cleared his throat, trying to break the awkward atmosphere and continue the previous topic.

"We have obtained reliable intelligence and learned of a base of the Snake Den, and successfully obtained a list of the Snake Servant's personnel."

While listening to Liu Ying's story, Shiina Yuu recalled the information about the snake servant that he had learned from Sakai Kuroo.

However, for some reason, he always felt that something was not right.

"Is there a problem with that list?" Shiina Yuichi asked suddenly.

Liu Ying stared at Shiina Yuichi, then smiled bitterly and sighed, "Zhen Niao is right, you are indeed very perceptive. It was actually a carefully designed trap."

"What does the 鸩鸟 want to do?" Shiina Yuichi's heart moved, and he seemed to have guessed what Liu Ying's purpose was in coming to entrust him with the task this time.

"He wants to use these snake servants to find Gray Snake and the organization behind him." Liu Ying's tone was very calm.

Upon hearing this, Shiina Yuichi showed an expression that said, "As expected."

However, Shiina Yuichi did not fully agree with the plan of the 鸩鸟.

First of all, the current situation of the 鸩鸟 is quite passive.

Not only does he have to do his best to find the World Serpent, but he also has to be on guard against attacks from that organization at all times.

But this is just wishful thinking.

The First Bird has limited information in its hands.

Second, he was short-staffed.

Third, there is a lack of a comprehensive action plan.

He wants to achieve his goal with just a list.

Unless God helps him, he will meet a very high-ranking member of the World Serpent Organization as soon as he goes out.

After catching the man, the two drank tea and chatted, and then the other party told him all the information about the organization.

This probability is even lower than winning the sports lottery, okay?

Shiina Yuichi couldn't help but shook his head. He knew very well that Shiina was walking on a tightrope and every step was full of danger and uncertainty.

"Then why don't you help him? Since you know there's a problem with the list, there must be a corresponding solution."

Shiina Yuichi frowned and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

He really couldn't figure it out. Since Liu Ying had already discovered the problem with the list, she should be able to think of some solutions.

Besides, if she really wanted to help the bird, wouldn't it be better to just tell him this important information?

In this way, the bird can prepare in advance and avoid getting into trouble.

Hearing this, Liu Ying shook her head and sighed helplessly, "I can no longer get in touch with him. Besides, all the information I got came from within the organization..."

At this point, her voice deepened slightly.

Shiina Yuichi understood immediately.

It turns out that there is an essential difference between willow warblers and 鸩鸟.

Liu Ying is still able to obtain intelligence from within the organization, which means that she is not considered a traitor by the organization, at least not on the surface.

But it was different for Zhiniao. He had long been identified as a traitor and became the target of the organization's hunt.

If the willow warbler chooses to use the power of the organization to assist the 鸩鸟, then the organization is likely to follow the clues and find the 鸩鸟's hiding place.

Doing so would not only fail to truly help the bird, but would instead bring him greater danger.

The two fell silent at the same time. The bird's solo action really caught Shiina Yuichi off guard.

But thinking about his plan, he made a decision.

"In that case, can we talk about compensation? I need conditions that are attractive enough to impress me."

Shiina Yuichi had a businesslike expression on his face.

If you want him to take action, of course you have to pay a price.
