Lord of Secrets

Chapter 247 246. Desperate Killing Intent

Saturday night.

In an abandoned two-story building in the suburbs, Ni Huiji came in wearing a mask accompanied by his men.

Originally, with his identity, he should not appear here, because it would be very dangerous and there is a possibility of exposing his identity.

But somehow, he felt that he had to meet this hardworking old man tonight, because the other party created a considerable fortune for him and also established a relationship with a distant viscount.

Therefore, Ni Huiji thought that he must encourage the other party, arouse the enthusiasm in his bones, and create more wealth for him.

After all, with the other party's humble identity, he must be very happy to be praised by a baron, and even couldn't sleep for several days.

And nothing has happened so far, he just needs to cover his face.

Thinking of this, Ni Huiji's mouth corners unconsciously rose, raised his head slightly, and looked down at the hunched and thin old man in front of him.

Then Ni Huiji sat on one of the clean chairs and said with a slightly changed voice: "Guisi, right? I have always seen your loyalty and hard work. I am very happy to have a subordinate like you."

The old man, Guisi, lowered his head more and more when he heard this, as if he dared not look at him, but his body seemed to show his excitement, so that people wondered if he had convulsions.

Ni Huiji nodded when he saw this. This was the most normal reaction in his mind, but he was a little worried that Guisi would suddenly die of excitement, so he had to find a replacement.

Then, Ni Huiji said in a deep voice: "Guisi, don't be excited. I still need you to continue working for me. You must know that I trust you more than others."

"Yes!" Guisi said in a hoarse voice, with a slight tremor in his tone.

Ni Huiji was very satisfied with this old man, not only because he was hardworking and did not ask for too much in return, but also because of his attitude towards himself.

"Guisi, why are you wearing a mask?" At this time, Ni Huiji suddenly asked, but he seemed to have forgotten that he was wearing a mask too.

Upon hearing this, Guis' body trembled, and he said more humbly: "My master... my face is disfigured, and I am afraid of blaspheming you."

Niehuiji heard this and said in a low voice: "Take off your mask, you should not hide in the dark."

But Guis had no intention of taking off the mask.

Niehuiji immediately shouted: "Guis, are you going to disobey my order?"

Guis said with a trembling voice: "Master, I am willing to accept your punishment, even if it is death, but I don't want to let my ugly face that even the god of death dare not accept pollute your eyes."

Niehuiji didn't think that the other party was afraid to take off the mask because of malice, because Guis had worked for him for more than ten years, and his men must have checked it.

Of course, Niehuiji didn't trust the other party.

But hearing Guis' words at this time, he felt a little relieved.

Suddenly, Ni Huiji said, "Can you tell me why you respect me so much?"

Guisi was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Because when I first came to Lierli, you helped me and allowed me to survive."

Ni Huiji frowned slightly and recalled.

However, it has been a long time, so he can't remember it, but he vaguely remembers that he seemed to have helped the poor several times for his own reputation.

Although he couldn't remember it, Ni Huiji didn't think much about it. He didn't pay too much attention to a person of low status. Just say a few words, anyway, he would forget it afterwards.

Then, Ni Huiji said, "You are old, but I hope you can live a few more years."

"Thank you, master!" Guisi hurriedly thanked him.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

As he said that, Ni Huiji immediately stood up and prepared to leave.

But at this time, Guis hurriedly said: "Master, please forgive my interruption, I still have a gift to give you."

Ni Huiji frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied. Although the other party said that he wanted to give it to him, he did not think that Guis's gift was precious.

But thinking that he had tried to pretend for so long, he did not care about the last bit of time, and just said: "Then take out your gift and let me see it."

When Guis heard this, his hands moved faster, and he took out a smooth, old-looking gray-black small box from his arms, and then opened it quickly.

Ni Huiji took a look at the things in the box and was surprised for a moment: "Ancient gold leaf?"

Ancient gold leaf is a sacrificial object in temples in some regions. It looks like a slender leaf, about ten centimeters long, and there are six ring patterns on the veins on it, like pupils.

Its image is said to come from the extinct giant tree of Furaen, which is a tree given by God. The six ring patterns symbolize the gaze of the gods.

It is said that the ancient golden leaves were formed by the leaves of the Fraen tree receiving blessings in the temple and bathing in the divine light. They became extremely hard and full of divine power, and could protect themselves when danger came.

But this is just a legend. What has been passed down now are just those forged with gold, so no one knows whether they are true or false.

But Ni Huiji believes it is true, because Kezibe beside him has some mysterious power, so some ancient legends may also be true.

And now, Ni Huiji was just a little surprised when he saw the ancient golden leaves in the other party's hand, but not fanatical. Because, this might be another fake.

But it is a work of art after all, and it is made of gold, so it is worthwhile and can be used as a decoration.

At this time, Guisi glanced at Kezibe, as if asking him to come and take it away.

Kezibe cursed in his heart, why did he work for Nihuiji, it was because he needed money. Originally, he just mentioned Guisi's request to meet with Nihuiji, but he didn't expect Nihuiji to agree.

This is of course nothing.

But the other party actually took this opportunity to bypass him and offer treasures to Nihuiji, which not only made him take less money, but also meant that Guisi was about to get out of control and wanted to bypass him and directly connect with Nihuiji.

This means that his interests may be much less in the future, so Kezibe's face was a little bad, but he didn't show it too much.

Even though he was a transcendent, he didn't dare to offend Nihuiji, who was like an ordinary person. Kezibe still needed the help of the other party, and even if Yuri was secretly full of killing and chaos, no one was willing to kill a noble.

This is just because chaos also has its own order, and killing also has its own order. The nobles are the order in the open, and they can provide stable wealth and resources for the extraordinary people.

Of course, this is just because he is weak.

However, Kezibe still glanced at Nihuiji, wanting to know whether the other party would accept the gift, even though he already had the answer in his heart.

Nihuiji was about to nod, but turned and said: "Guisi, I allow you to deliver it to me in person!"

Guisi heard the words, his body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly said happily: "Thank you, master! Thank you, master, for accepting my things."

After speaking, he trembled and took a few steps forward, only two steps away from Nihuiji, and then, his somewhat shriveled fingers gently picked up the ancient gold leaf from the box.

When Nihuiji saw the other party's dirty hand touching his ancient gold leaf, his brows unconsciously frowned, but he still didn't say much.

And at this moment, Guisi suddenly held the ancient gold leaf tightly, and the blue veins under his skin swelled up, like a worm crawling under the shriveled skin.

Kezibe felt something was wrong at the first moment, but he didn't react. The sharp tip of the golden leaf instantly pierced into Nihuiji's heart.

The scarlet dyed the golden leaves red, and the seemingly sacred object seemed to be entangled with a trace of evil breath.

This is a deadly weapon that will kill Nihuiji.

"Damn it!"

Kezibe was stunned at first, and then suddenly cursed. If Nihuiji died, he would not have a stable source of income.

...

Every time Nihuiji spoke, Guisi's body began to tremble. It was not because of honor, but because of excitement, the excitement of getting closer to his goal.

Therefore, Guisi tried to keep his posture as low as possible. With his life experience, he was enough to deal with Nihuiji in front of him and cater to his preferences.

Every conversation was to increase Nihuiji's trust and goodwill in himself, so as to achieve the final goal, approach the other party, and then kill him with one blow.

This seems simple, but it is actually very difficult.

It has been more than ten years since he approached Nihuiji for the first time. It can be seen that Nihuiji actually doesn't trust others at all, and it is too difficult to get in touch with him.

As for assassinating the other party at night, Guis had tried several times, but the other party was too sensitive and timid, the surrounding security was too strict, and an assassin he had hired had no news.

So, Guis knew that there must be a supernatural person around the other party.

And this time, it was his last time.

Because Nihuiji gave him a great opportunity, either he died, or he died, or both of them died.

So, at that moment, Guis burst out all his strength.

This was his last blow.

The power that came from the "Drowning Man" when he was desperate, Guis fell into memories, triggered his own despair, overdrawn his life, and finally achieved a fatal blow.

...

Guis opened his mouth, because he finally achieved his long-cherished wish, Nihuiji died, then he was no longer important.

The sequelae of the "Drowning Man" outbreak were enough to make Guis, who was already physically fragile, close to the god of death.

He had no intention of living.

Kezibe was angry, as if he saw through the other party's mask, on the already disgusting face, with a hint of ridicule and relief.

So, Kezibe swung his arm, trying to smash the other person to death.

Suddenly, Guis, who was paralyzed on the ground and had already intended to die, jumped up again. Kezibe could feel that the other person's extreme despair had infected the surroundings.

His arm was about to fall, but Kezibe suddenly felt himself pause.
