Chapter 79 What does it mean to kill someone and destroy their heart?

Longjiang Hotel.

This is the oldest five-star hotel in Longjiang City, bar none.

Although with the changes of the times, the hardware measures and relatively backward design structure here have long been unable to keep up with the pace of those new hotels.

But the geographical location here is so good, and the unparalleled river view alone is unmatched by any other hotel in Longjiang City.

At this time, Gao Tianlin, who had just returned from the replacement, was on the top floor of Longjiang Hotel, overlooking the first-line river view of the city.

Standing in front of the French window, he made a call using encryption software:
"How's the situation? Have you seen that boy?"

"Yes, he looked quite honest. He was very enthusiastic towards me when he knew I was your friend." A teasing voice came from the other end of the line. "But he seemed a little wary of me. He refused to tell me where he was from when I asked him... Gao, you must have told him this specifically, right?"

"You think too much." Gao Tianlin denied it flatly.

Of course, he would never admit to such a thing.

Not to mention that there is no evidence, even if there is evidence he would not admit it. After all, he does not want to be an enemy of the madman on the other end of the phone.

"Am I overthinking? You know it in your heart." The other party sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, this is your new pig?"

"This has nothing to do with you. Anyway, I owe you a favor this time. That's it. I'll hang up first." Gao Tianlin didn't want to say more.

He was not surprised that the madman guessed the relationship between him and Rorschach, but the reason why he asked the other party for help was because although the other party was powerful, he did not dare to set foot in the territory of Dayan.

Therefore, even if that madman really knew that Rorschach was in Longjiang City, he had no chance to compete with him for the new pig.

Besides, he had already told Rorschach to be on guard against the other party.

It was not difficult for him to hear from the madman's words that Rorschach was indeed very obedient and did not go against his will.

"I am a man who keeps my promises. As a reward for your obedience, I will harvest you later." Gao Tianlin took his top hat from the clothes rack next to him with a slight smile and put it on his head again.

Gao Tianlin was of course a little skeptical about Rorschach's sudden statement that he remembered new information about the woman in the photo, because if it was really such a coincidence, why didn't Rorschach have any impression of her before?

But he really didn't think that Rorschach, a rookie who had awakened his spirit in front of him, had the guts to play a trick on him, so he immediately went to find that madman to confirm whether what Rorschach had told him about the situation in the Gray Region was true.

After receiving a positive answer, he completely dispelled the last trace of doubt in his heart and his mood immediately improved.

If he could capture the female disciple of the wild bear and get an obedient pig, it would undoubtedly be worth the trip for him.

When he arrived at the first floor of the hotel, he glanced with a sneer at the hotel doorman on the left side of the gate who was opening the door for the guests, and suddenly left in a hurry.

The doorman who was glanced at by him realized something after seeing the situation, so he dropped the guest's luggage and chased after him.

Because this doorman was none other than Lan Tu!

He has been harassing Gao Tianlin since he came to Longjiang City, but unfortunately his strength is limited, so he can only harass him for a while and cannot deal with this guy.

At that moment, he was just like Gao Tianlin. They had just finished the exchange and were thinking about how to continue to disgust the Seventh Gentleman. However, he didn't expect that Gao Tianlin would not play by the rules and directly mocked him in person.

Coupled with Gao Tianlin's sudden departure, he couldn't help but have a bad feeling: "Could it be that Xiaodao has been exposed?"

The more Lan Tu thought about it, the worse the situation seemed. She no longer cared about disguising herself and just followed him.

……

Rorschach's home.

"This time it's really thanks to you, Miss Su. If it weren't for Old Barton's help, I would probably have been found by the people in the Gentlemen's Club."

When Zhang Xiaodao, who had also returned from the exchange, saw Su Xueqi again, the first thing he did was to express his gratitude from the bottom of his heart, because the retreat route Su Xueqi prepared for her during this exchange really helped a lot.

Under the cover of Gui Tuimo, the power of the Gentlemen's Club in the Red Flame Empire was completely helpless against her and could not even touch the corner of her clothes.

This also made her realize how profound the background of Gui Tui Mo was.

"Did you go to the Dreamland Tavern?" Su Xueqi asked.

"Yes, old Patton asked me to say hello to you." Zhang Xiaodao said.

"Old Patton? Oh, you should be talking about Uncle Ji. He changes his identity every now and then and I can't remember him." Su Xueqi thought for a while and said.

Although Su Xueqi acted very nonchalant, Zhang Xiaodao still expressed his gratitude again and again, and then looked at Luo Xia with anticipation.

"Can't wait?" Rorschach laughed.

"No, no, it's just, it's just..." Zhang Xiaodao stuttered for a moment, because she was really looking forward to it.

But if I say it directly, it seems a little greedy, which is why it seems so awkward.

"There's no rush for that matter. Let's wait for someone first." Rorschach said with a smile.

"Waiting for someone?" Zhang Xiaodao was confused.

Because Rorschach hadn't mentioned who else was coming, she just thought that there were other Substitutes who were familiar with Rorschach coming.

dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the door.

Luo Xia gestured to Su Xueqi to open the door. Su Xueqi didn't ask any questions, walked straight to the door and opened it.

"Hello, is Luo Xia at home?" The person outside the door was stunned for a moment when he saw that it was a woman who opened the door.

"Come in." Rorschach said towards the door.

At this time, Di Gao Tianlin, who was wearing a tuxedo and a top hat, had walked in from outside. At the same time, he saw the red-haired Zhang Xiaodao standing next to Luo Xia at first sight, and his eyes lit up and said:

"You really gave me a big surprise, Rorschach!"

Zhang Xiaodao had already recognized the seventh gentleman who was dressed in a very distinctive style, and looked at Rorschach in disbelief:

"why?"

She never expected that the reply she had been waiting for for so long would end up like this.

What she didn't understand was that if Luo Xia and Su Xueqi really wanted to betray her, they wouldn't have to go through so much trouble, let alone use so many resources.

Luo Xia did not answer Zhang Xiaodao, but looked at Gao Tianlin and said: "I have helped you so much, how are you going to thank me, Mr. Gao... How about letting me sit in your position as the Seventh Gentleman?"

Gao Tianlin narrowed his eyes slightly and realized that something was wrong.

Because he saw Zhang Xiaodao as his target as soon as he entered the room, he did not pay much attention to other details. But until Rorschach suddenly called him Mr. Gao and pointed out his true identity, he finally realized that the situation seemed a little different from what he had thought before.

You know, he never told Rorschach his real name, let alone his true identity.

On Luo Xia's side, he should be called Lin Tiancai.

"Did she tell you my identity?" Gao Tianlin looked at Zhang Xiaodao.

"No, I told him." Su Xueqi, who had just opened the door for Gao Tianlin, had already closed the door and walked to Luo Xia's side. "As the seventh gentleman of the Gentlemen's Club, there is no need to be so low-key."

"Oh? So, this beautiful lady is also a swapper?" Gao Tianlin asked calmly.

"Su Xueqi, the third person in charge of Guituimo Tianbei Branch, I also met her during the first exchange." Luo Xia answered proactively.

"So you are Gui Tui Mo's friend. My apologies." Gao Tianlin's heart tightened when he heard the name.

The scale of Guituimoji is not comparable to that of a gentlemen's club.

The three major international intelligence organizations are, without exception, behemoths that can make the other seven turn a blind eye.

Unfortunately, gentlemen's clubs are not eligible for this.

If the forces below the Big Seven were ranked, the three major international intelligence organizations would all be firmly in the top ten, while the gentlemen's club, like the zoo, is at most a Top 30-level force. The gap is indeed quite large.

However, Gao Tianlin obviously misunderstood something, and Luo Xia also explained to him very enthusiastically: "You don't have to be so vigilant. In fact, she just succeeded in blood fusion not long ago. In terms of strength, she is definitely not comparable to you."

However, even though Luo Xia took the initiative to explain, Gao Tianlin still did not let down his guard, because this was no longer just a matter of strength.

Unless he kills Su Xueqi directly and keeps her here forever, Su Xueqi, with her own resources, will definitely find a way to make it impossible for him to move in the Great Yan territory. After all, he had sneaked in in the first place.

But if he were asked to kill Su Xueqi directly, he would not dare to do so.

No one would want to offend Gui Tui Mo unless it was absolutely necessary. Even if there was a certain chance of being discovered, he didn't want to take the risk. For an organization like Gui Tui Mo, if a middle-level cadre at the level of a branch manager was killed, it would be impossible to ignore it completely. At that time, a casual investigation would reveal a lot of clues.

If he is really targeted by the devil, he will have no good life in the future.

"So, you already knew my identity when the last exchange was over?" Gao Tianlin looked at Luo Xia and said.

"Not bad." Rorschach nodded.

"I never thought that there would be a day when I would be played around by others. Well, very good... You are really good, and you are worthy of being my favorite newcomer." Gao Tianlin said with emotion.

"Thank you for the compliment." Rorschach said with a smile.

Gao Tianlin, who found out that he had been fooled, did not seem to be angry, but for a conceited man like him, is it possible not to be angry?

Ghosts believe.

Gao Tianlin shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect your luck to be so good that you could meet a noble person in your first exchange. This time it's my bad luck... Leave her to me, and I'll pretend that I've never met you."

As Gao Tianlin said this, one hand had already grabbed Zhang Xiaodao.

Snapped!
His wrist was suddenly grabbed!
"Hmm?" Gao Tianlin suddenly looked at Luo Xia and frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Except you, everyone in this room belongs to me. What do you think I mean?" Rorschach said with a smile.

"Don't force me to kill you, Rorschach... I admit that you are indeed very lucky and have great potential, but before you grow up, it would still be easy for me to kill you. Why do you have to force me?" Gao Tianlin sighed.

"If Abel encountered the same situation as you, he would take action without hesitation, killing those who are in the way first, and then capturing the target." Rorschach shook his head and said, "He told me before that you would not choose to take action directly, and I was a little skeptical. Now it seems that he really knows you better."

"He would tell you this?" Gao Tianlin did not get angry this time, but shook his head and smiled, "Do you think I will believe your nonsense..."

If Rorschach said something else, he might have to distinguish whether it was true or not.

But Rorschach actually said that Abel talked to him about himself, and he didn't believe even a single punctuation mark in that sentence.

Even if Rorschach really joined the gang, it was impossible for that madman Abel to look up to him just for something like this, let alone betraying his companions?
"There's no need to tell you so much, but considering that you indirectly helped me awaken my spirit, I'll satisfy your curiosity."

When Luo Xia said this, he looked at Su Xueqi, who immediately understood what he meant and started a video call using a communication app on her mobile phone.

Soon, a thin white man who looked extremely malnourished appeared in the video, with an ancient castle as the background.

"What's the matter?" The person on the other end of the line asked in stiff Chinese. It was obvious that Abel's Chinese was not very good.

However, this was not the first time he had communicated with Su Xueqi. They had had a brief communication right after the exchange was completed. This was also agreed upon in the Gray Domain, so he naturally recognized Su Xueqi's appearance at this moment.

"The boss is looking for you." Su Xueqi said.

Hearing this, Abel immediately sat up straight, while Su Xueqi had already pointed the front camera of her mobile phone towards Rorschach.

"I have met my lord!"

When Abel saw Rorschach on the screen, he immediately bowed his head to show respect.

"Don't you want to say hello to your old colleague?" Rorschach said with a smile.

Abel then turned his gaze to Gao Tianlin who was standing beside him, but he only glanced at him and said to Luo Xia again:

"My Lord, do you intend to kill him directly?"

"Are there any worries?" Rorschach asked.

"Of course not. I can directly claim that he offended me and I killed him." Abel said without hesitation that he could claim the responsibility.

"This is not a good idea. Aren't you afraid that the First Gentleman will cause trouble for you?" Rorschach said.

"I'm looking forward to it." Abel smiled.

"Oh? So you have made a breakthrough?" Rorschach heard the implication of Abel's words and asked in surprise.

"Thanks to my Lord's care, I won the first merit of this sacrifice ceremony after I returned. Not only did I successfully break through to the third state, but I am now a second-level priest of the Church of Bliss." Abel couldn't help but smile when he said this.

Because his gains this time were huge!
The person with the highest status in the Church of Bliss is naturally the Pope, and below the Pope are the fourth-level bishops including Bishop Bern, whom Rorschach has met, and below them are the first, second, and third-level priests.

Level one is the highest and level three is the lowest.

The fact that Abel was able to directly skip the third-level priest and become a second-level priest is enough to prove how powerful he is in the Paradise Church now. Perhaps it won’t be long before he can go one step further and become a first-level priest, second only to the bishop!
"You were just one step away from success. It's all a matter of time. There's no need to thank me." Rorschach shook his head.

"No, this breakthrough seems a little different. I think it may be related to your gift, my Lord." Abel murmured.

Rorschach understood that Abel was talking about the power of Purgatory, and thought that the power of Purgatory must have played some role in Abel's breakthrough to the third state.

As for its specific function, it is obviously not suitable for communication.

"Let's talk about that later. I'm not done with my work here yet. When I'm done, I'll see if I have time to visit you." Rorschach said.

"Yes!"

Abel immediately responded respectfully.

"Say goodbye to your old colleague. No, this may be the last time you see him." Rorschach said to Abel on the other end of the video with a smile.

"Have a nice journey, Gao. It is an honor for you to die at the hands of our Lord." Abel then said to Gao Tianlin.

Su Xueqi hung up the phone only after Abel finished speaking.

What does it mean to kill someone and destroy their heart?

Su Xueqi finally saw it today.

She dared to say that there was absolutely no better way to kill someone and destroy their heart than this!

Gao Tianlin was indeed completely silent at this time.

He really wanted to tell himself that what had just happened was not real, and that Rorschach and the others were using some kind of illusion to try to break his mind.

But he can deceive others but not himself.

Putting aside Abel's way of addressing Rorschach and his attitude towards him, there was no flaw in his other words and actions.

At least based on Gao Tianlin's understanding of Abel, that person just now was definitely the real person and it was not an illusion.

"Who are you..." Gao Tianlin looked at Luo Xia with a fear that came from the bottom of his heart.

Because he suddenly felt that the person in front of him might not be the Rorschach he had met before. Otherwise, with the character of a madman like Abel, how could he recognize someone as his master?
Could the person who could make Abel, a cultist who used to talk about the evil god every other sentence, so humble really be the newcomer who witnessed his awakening, or could it be that the so-called Rorschach in front of him had already been possessed by the evil god!

Apart from this, he really couldn't think of any other reason!

"Based on your understanding, it's hard for me to explain it to you clearly, but I am sure that you are the one looking after Qi Ling." Luo Xia tightened his hand that was holding Gao Tianlin's hand again, causing Gao Tianlin to want to break free instantly.

But how could Rorschach give him such an opportunity? He pulled him back suddenly and put one hand on his head!
At the same time, Luo Xia's other hand had turned into a blade, and he stabbed it directly into Gao Tianlin's chest without any skill!

"I won't torture you this time. Have a pleasant journey." Luo Xia whispered in Gao Tianlin's ear while extracting his soul.

Although Gao Tianlin's bronze-level soul is not rare to Luo Xia today, a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat.

Besides, Gao Tianlin is not a mosquito, at least he is a mouse.

pat-

After pushing Gao Tianlin's body away, Luo Xia looked at Zhang Xiaodao, who was already speechless in shock, and said with a smile:
"What did you want to ask me just now?"

"I..." Zhang Xiaodao wanted to say something, but what happened just now was so shocking to her that her mind was a little blank.

At this moment, Luo Xia and Su Xueqi looked towards the balcony together, only to see a man dressed as a hotel doorman suddenly appear there.

It was only then that the other party saw the situation in the room clearly and noticed Gao Tianlin who had fallen to the ground. His eyes were bigger than a cow's!
Needless to say, this is naturally the belated Blue Rabbit.

He had been worried before that Gao Tianlin's sudden change in behavior might be because he had already learned of Zhang Xiaodao's hiding place.

After all, he knew that Zhang Xiaodao was in Longjiang City.

He had been following Gao Tianlin all the way, so his speed was definitely not as fast as Gao Tianlin who had a clear goal, so he arrived so late.

But he would never have thought that when he finally caught up with Gao Tianlin, he would see that he had been killed and turned into a corpse.
