Volume 8: Stones and Swords: The Sky] Chapter 16: The Purpose of Assassination—

Star County, Washington.~~

Tianyi's bookstore is still open on remote streets.

I have been traveling through several cities and done some things. May 23rd, the second day he came here.

A frustrating, disgusting, annoying, crazy situation is happening.

There were many customers coming to the bookstore...

Men, women, children, elderly people... All this is terrible and unexpected. Tianyi really wants to set up a machine gun on his desk and shoot the store.

"Boss, I want to borrow this book." An old man who looked quite kind came to Tianyi and said.

"This is not a library, you can buy it."

"How much does that cost?"

"Look at it..."

The old man was stunned for a few seconds: "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

Tianyi took out a handful of change from his pocket and patted it on the table, "Is it enough? That's all I have."

"Well... the boss... I'm buying books, not selling..."

Tian Yi stuffed money into the old man's hands and also into the old man's hands. "The door is there, I suggest you close it when you go out."

As soon as the old man left, another aunt with a little boy came, "Boss, do you have any here..."

"No." Tianyi interrupted before the other party finished speaking.

"I haven't asked what it is."

“Nothing.”

"I think there's a bastard sitting there." The aunt began to curse.

Tianyi drank coffee and didn't even look at each other: "You think beautifully, and I won't give it to you."

The aunt took the child away in anger and taught her son, "Chris, have you seen that if you don't study hard, you will become a kind of mixed-ball character when you grow up..."

Tianyi turned a deaf ear to this. At this moment, he only hoped that all the guys wandering in the bookstore would disappear from his eyes.

But the more annoying guy came. A few people who looked like they were dressed up as gangsters walked into the bookstore, came to Tianyi's desk and said, "Hey, man, I don't seem to have seen you on this street."

"Do you want to collect protection fees?" Tian kept intercepting the local area.

The three of them looked at each other, and then the man in the middle sneered: "Ha! Yes, it's a mess, so you'd better be smarter, the police nearby..." He was preparing to give a long discussion, which was about how he had the means to get Tianyi's bookstore to finish playing.

Tianyi's left hand reached under the table at this time. The three of them were shocked and thought that Tianyi was going to take out something like a gun. Their hands all touched the switchblade and the pistol and were about to start. Seeing this, the other customers in the store reacted quickly and quietly ran out of the store.

Unexpectedly, Tianyi actually brought a bucket of one gallon of gasoline from under the table.

Then, he opened the drawer with his right hand, and the three gangsters were shocked again, but this time, what Tianyi took out was a box of matches.

"All you need is... time, gasoline, matches." Tianyi said: "Given the serious rise in oil prices, I only have this little left. You go out and water it around the store, make it a little even. Don't worry, it's all books and it will definitely burn it." He continued to drink coffee as if nothing had happened: "Why are you standing there? Don't understand what I mean? The last change in my pocket has just been spent."

"Bastard, do you dare to fool us, right? Ha?!" A gangster grabbed Tianyi's neckline and lifted him up.

"I'll use this trick... so my collar is always wrinkled..." Tianyi sighed helplessly: "Okay okay... Does anyone know where the nearest pig farm is here?"

"It's quite good at playing." At this time, the consultant happened to walk into the store from outside, and the gambling snake followed him. When the two saw this scene, they both looked as if nothing had happened.

"Please come back, today's business may end," the consultant said.

The customers in the store were almost gone, but they saw this and went all out.

"Hey! Hey! Look, he has a helper."

"Well...I'm so scared, hahaha."

"This is the territory of our Skeleton Gang, so you'd better understand it."

This is the habit of gangsters, bluffing and bullying others with power. In fact, they are often brave and dare to act alone. Only when there are too many people and bringing equipment can they have the courage to be tough guys. Once they are alone, they may not even beat an ordinary office worker or student, and they can only speak harshly and gather people to take revenge. In this way, if they are struggling for the past, some ruthless and ruthless will be able to get on the top, and then take some guys like him as their younger brothers. He will leave the gangster industry and become the eldest brother. This cycle has been repeated, forming the most grassroots group criminal network.

Tianyi didn't hate these people, he just felt sad, that's all.

Seeing that the boss looked listless, he knew that Tianyi was disdainful or too lazy to do it himself, so he could only do it for him.

I took two steps at a time and walked to a bookshelf. I didn’t know what switch it triggered. The windows and glasses of the door of the bookstore were sealed with steel plates, and the store became dark, but in just one second, the lights began to light up.

The gambling snake said: "Is it the old rules?"

Tianyi's collar had been loosened. He collapsed in the sofa chair and yawned, "I just arrived for one day, and the place for abandoning the corpse was not easy to find. Just knock it out and throw it out."

Seeing the steel plates falling outside the house, the three gangsters felt something was wrong. In this small dark room, under the pale light, looking at the face of the gambling snake, the big brother looked like a killer when he looked horizontally and vertically...

"Don't...don't come over..." The gangster in the middle picked up his pistol and pointed at the gambling snake. The other two also took out the knife.

The gambling snake walked forward with a steady pace, "Although you raise your gun horizontally, it is a bit of a street gangster, but the shell popped up after firing may burst into your own eyes." As he spoke, he suddenly took a step and came to the other side in an instant as if he was shrinking.

His move was as fast as lightning. The eyes, brain and body of the gun-holding gangsters could not keep up with the movements of gambling snakes. The next second, the gun had already appeared in the hands of gambling snakes.

He held the gun and said calmly: "You should take it like this, then push away the safety bolt, aim at the position you are going to shoot, observe the target's eyes and subtle body movements..."

The two gangsters were already in a state of short-circuiting brains and instinctively raised their hands: "Oh... man, hey, calm down, man, don't shoot."

But the third gangster with a knife obviously has the potential to be the boss. He stepped over the desk, grabbed Tianyi on the sofa chair, blocked his body in front of him, and pressed Tianyi's neck with a knife: "Put down the gun! You bastard! Otherwise I will tear your friend's throat to pieces."

"He is not my friend, but the boss." The gambling snake said, his tone still cold.

"Stop talking nonsense! You bastard! Put down your gun!" The gangster with the knife shouted violently.

Tianyi tilted his head and said, "Are you sick? You are only a few steps away, why are you screaming so loud?"

"Stop, bastard!" The gangster holding the knife also shouted in a high voice at Tianyi who was a few inches away: "Give me your honesty!"

Not only did the gambling snake not put down its gun, it also turned the gun over there and said, "He just secreted too much adrenaline and was a little out of control."

"I asked you to put the gun down! You deserve to be damned..."

Bang!

The gunshot fired, and the gangster froze in place with his knife, choked back half of his words, his face twisted in surprise, and half of his face and body were splashed with blood and brain.

The other two gangsters turned their heads and saw an incredible scene. Tianyi's head was blown up...

What's the situation? After doing such a toneful word and deed, this guy who looks like 007 actually shot his boss and killed his boss?

"Hahaha..." The consultant laughed behind him, ran to the desk with ease, opened a partition beside the table, and there was a small freezer inside. He took out a bottle of tomato juice, unscrewed the lid, and took a pleasant sip: "I'm very curious, does this hurt?"

"I think you are very good at playing..." The moment Tianyi's voice came out, the door of the room behind his seat opened, and Tianyi came out of the door intact, still in the same way, shirt, suit, messy hair.

He stepped over his "corpse", sat back on his old seat, poured a cup of coffee, and shook his head and said to the gambling snake, "Tom...Tom...Tom...Tom...So you... Can you believe what the consultant said?"

"From the result of this shot, he is telling the truth." The gambling snake replied.

"What if he fools you?"

"Then he can take over your position and become my new boss." Gambling Snake added: "If you die from a few street gangsters or a traitor who can approach you because of carelessness, coincidence, bad taste, etc., a boss like you would be too fragile and not worthy of my life for him."

Tianyi said: "Well...this makes sense." When he finished this sentence, his own "corpse" and his clothes on the ground turned into a black smoke at a very fast speed.

"What's the matter with this...?!" The gangsters went completely crazy: "Are you aliens? Or zombies?! Damn, you are a secret organization of the government. Do you want to arrest us for experiments?! I warn you..."

Five seconds later, the three people were knocked down by the gambling snake. There was no need to use weapons at all. He swept past the three people like a phantom and solved the problem silently.

"Oh? When did you master this technique?" Tianyi asked, and he knew clearly what was happening in front of him just now.

"Dr. Stlanzhe taught me some knowledge about meridian acupoints, and he happened to try these people." The gambling snake replied.

The consultant looked at the gambling snake with a squinted look: "Oh? acupoint?"

"I know what you are going to ask next, but I suggest you drag the people on the ground first and drive somewhere else. When you come back, we will have almost the same business here. At that time, you will come to the sun again, and I don't mind." Tianyi interrupted.

"You are really imaginative. You know what I want to ask?"

"A vulgar people have their abilities to ask some vulgar questions naturally." Tianyi continued.

The consultant smiled and did not speak. He used his dirty abilities to dispel the bookstore's defense system remotely and dragged the unconscious gangsters out.

The gambling snake came to Tianyi's table and began to talk about the serious matter: "When I parted with the gunsmith, he asked me to bring you an upgraded version of my destiny."

Tian Yiyi was stunned: "Didn't you come to Washington by plane?"

The consultant just dragged the gangsters to the door and interrupted, "Didn't he pass the security check by playing a trick of moving flowers and wood?"

Tianyi thought about it and it was right, but he didn't see the gambling snake carrying any large luggage at hand: "Where is that thing? In the car?"

The gambling snake rolled up the sleeve of the left arm, "Here."

"Hmph...hehe..." Tian Yi laughed dryly: "Okay, this is my fault. I should have expected that if they put a piece of gunsmith, warlock, and marshal, they would produce such things..."

At this moment, a circle of light black metal was wrapped in the left forearm of gambling snake. There was a cross-shaped button facing his arm. After touching it, the black metal began to deform, and then a simple operating disk and screen appeared. As long as you raise your left arm and cross it in front of you, you can directly operate it with your right hand. It seems that this portable fate can be used even when walking.

"Is there any problem with doing this? I think it's very practical and can be hidden in my sleeves for easy carrying." said the gambling snake. "But I usually have to hide a lot of things in my sleeves, which is not suitable for wearing."

"Do you know Yu-Gi?" Tianyi asked.

"I don't know much," replied the gambling snake.

"Then I have nothing to say to you..." Tianyi changed the topic: "I won't talk about fate anymore. Have the gunsmith told you about the progress of the project?"
To be continued...
