Zhang Jie walked into the ninth carriage, which was still empty, but there were two young people, a man and a woman, in the aisle.
Zhang Jie didn't speak. He carried the suitcase and walked forward, while his hand reached under his left armpit, gripping his Pistol.
As Zhang Jie brushed past the two, his gaze fell on the woman's hand.
There were calluses on her tiger's mouth; this woman was not simple.
This was Zhang Jie's initial judgment.
The two then seemed not to notice Zhang Jie's observation and continued talking, while Zhang Jie had already passed them. They were speaking Russian, so he couldn't understand them.
After Zhang Jie took two more steps forward, he suddenly crouched down and pulled out his gun.
Because he saw the two turn around in the reflection of the aisle glass, he crouched down without hesitation, turned, and fired.
Puff puff puff!
He fired three shots in quick succession; two hit the man, and one hit the woman.
"Ah! Fuck!"
The man cried out in pain, and Zhang Jie gave him another shot. The world fell silent.
The woman seemed very calm, but her right arm had been shot through by Zhang Jie, and her Pistol had fallen to the ground.
At this moment, she suddenly started crying, "I'm sorry, he threatened me. I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm very sorry."
"Sorry? If 'sorry' was useful, what would we need the police for?"
Zhang Jie was too lazy to speak. With such pathetic acting, did she really think she could fool him?
Was she kidding?
Seeing that her crying for a long time had no effect on the man in front of her, the woman was momentarily stunned.
When she opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Jie, she found that Zhang Jie's gun was already aimed at her forehead.
"Good night, Makka Pakka."
Puff!
Until her death, the woman never imagined that she, a killer, and a highly-ranked one at that, would die at the hands of an unknown person?
He didn't even want to listen to her say one more word.
Actually, it wasn't quite like that. Zhang Jie always believed that villains died from talking too much, and he himself was a killer, so in a sense, he was also a villain.
Wasting so much breath on them could lead to his own death, so it was better to let the 'fellow Daoist' die than for the 'poor Daoist' to die.
Therefore, instead of letting the enemy waste his time here, wouldn't it be better to just kill him directly, save time, and gain a glimmer of hope for himself?
So now, Zhang Jie already had quite a bit of John Wick's style. After taking care of these two, Zhang Jie continued walking towards the rear carriages.
Just then, the train suddenly made an announcement, indicating that it was about to arrive at the station.
"Oh, finally, I can get off."
At this, Zhang Jie was thrilled. He didn't have to keep walking to the back anymore; he could just switch to another car or take a taxi. He was incredibly excited.
However, just as he was carrying the suitcase and was about to step off the carriage door, he felt something was wrong, because the area was surrounded by people, and everyone's eyes were on him.
Zhang Jie silently retracted his foot.
Judging by the situation, getting off was impossible. But staying on the train didn't seem right either, did it?
At this moment, Zhang Jie's phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Zhang Jie then picked up his phone and pressed the answer button. A voice came from the phone.
"You did very well. You can now take the box and get off at the station."
Zhang Jie was a bit suspicious, but he still obediently got off.
Because of the current situation, he had no choice but to get off; the train wasn't planning on leaving yet.
One of the stout men stepped forward and took the silver suitcase from his hand. After inspecting it, he carried the suitcase back and handed it to a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was holding a phone.
"Very good, your mission is complete. If you want to get your reward, you'll have to survive for 24 hours first." The voice on the other end spoke as if stating something incredibly mundane.
Zhang Jie immediately felt a bad premonition.
"A 24-hour bounty hunt. Whoever can take you down will get your commission. It's fair."
The voice finished speaking and was about to hang up, but Zhang Jie suddenly threw his phone away.
Sure enough, in the very next second, before the phone even hit the ground, it exploded into a fireball in mid-air. Zhang Jie quickly retreated into the carriage. The carriage door slowly closed, and the train started moving.
Zhang Jie pulled out his phone and glanced at it. The mission displayed a pending payment countdown of 23 hours, 58 minutes, 42 seconds.
Damn it!
Zhang Jie slammed his hand hard on the carriage wall.
You damn old bastard, you dare to play me like this, huh?
Just you wait!
What he didn't know was that after the train started, the middle-aged man dropped his phone and, under heavy guard, was not injured.
Then, he lightly scratched his neck and peeled off a piece of skin.
He then pulled hard along that small blemish, and the entire skin peeled off his neck. It turned out to be a prosthetic mask.
After the mask was completely pulled off his face, an old face was revealed. He casually put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. If Zhang Jie were still there, he would definitely recognize this guy as Oriska from Blackthorn Castle!
"Run, run, little mouse. Let me see whether John Wick's disciple is more formidable, or the killers trained by my KH Alliance system are stronger."
Oriska said, smiling, as he pressed a button in his hand. Immediately, a mass message was sent out.
At the same time, all KH Alliance killers in the entire Norwalk region received the same message, accompanied by a photo.
"Within 24 hours, in the Norwalk region, whoever can take him down will earn the title of official member. --AK"
Every killer looked at that photo.
There was no detailed information, just this paragraph and a photo of Zhang Jie having just walked back into the carriage.
However, such information was enough for these killers. Through some features on the train and this photo, they could deduce a lot of information about this guy.
And so, all the provisional killers under the KH Alliance in the entire Norwalk region sprang into action.
Some went to the train station, some waited by the roadside, but most chose to go to the train station, as the probability of seeing him there would be higher.
Of course, some also felt that Zhang Jie would not be easy to deal with, so they chose not to participate in this unique promotion event.
Although he didn't know what he would face next, Zhang Jie was very clear about one thing: in the next 24 hours, he was probably in real danger.
And so, he unhesitatingly ran directly to the very first second carriage.
When passing Bella's body in the sixth carriage, Zhang Jie stopped, then unhesitatingly searched her body.
Of course, he wasn't trying to 'take advantage' while she was still warm.
Soon, he found two syringes in the inner layer of her clothing. These poisons should come in handy, right?
The cat-and-mouse game begins now.
