Eye of Darkness

"Then why do you introduce this knife to me?"

Hearing Yan Ming's question, the woman looked away from the claw knife and touched the cursed doll on her shoulder.

"Because you may be suitable for it. My cursed doll can feel the strange vitality in your body. The vitality of normal people will gradually dissipate with the passage of time, but you are different. Your vitality is indeed passing.

But soon there will be a new vitality filling your body."

Speaking of this, the woman looked at Yan Ming with a slightly probing look.

"This is very strange. You must know that if your state continues, theoretically, the legendary immortality is not impossible."

Lift the pipe, press the mouth of the cigarette with your lips, and inhale the thick smoke.

"Hoo~"

"But I do remember who you are."

Hearing this, Yan Ming was stunned. Did the other party know him?

As if she noticed Yan Ming's doubts, the woman did not continue to explore the topic, but said coldly.

"How about this, do you want this knife?"

"want."

Without any hesitation, Yan Ming stepped forward and directly raised his hand to grab the dark red grabbing knife.

Grabbing the knife and feeling the warmth on his palm, Yan Ming squinted his eyes slightly, and then he felt a strange force constantly eating away at the vitality in his body, but it was not too much. Soon Yan Ming was able to discover that the original

The lost vitality is constantly being replenished.

And with the injection of life force, the dark red sword flashed with red light, but after a while it deflected to dark red, and black light surged. The next moment, faint black and red arcs of electricity surged out of the claw blade.

, allowing Yan Ming, the holder of it, to feel the restless energy in it. If he hits it with force, the destructive power will be extraordinary.

Moreover, this claw knife was like a small magnetic field, which made Yan Ming feel very strange, but also had an indescribable sense of familiarity.

When the woman saw this situation, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes and she murmured.

"I haven't seen the glory of this knife again for many years..."

Hearing her emotion, Yan Ming's heart moved and he couldn't help but glance at the other party, but the other party's eyes just glanced at him and then looked away.

"Then...what's the name of this knife?"

The woman took a puff of tobacco.

"It doesn't have a name, but because all the people who used it died, it's called unknown."

Unknown...

Yan Ming said nothing. After nodding, he turned to look at the woman.

"Task."

Although his current relationship with the other party is that of a merchant and a customer, since he determined that he needed this knife, his relationship with the other party has become that of an employer and a killer. Oh, by the way, there may also be a superior.

Relationship with subordinates.

So the respect that should be there must still be there.

Seeing that Yan Ming had not forgotten what he was doing, the woman chuckled lightly, held an armrest with her palm, and twisted it slightly, and the top of the cabinet suddenly slid to the side.

As the cabinet door slowly opened, another entrance to the underground appeared in front of them.

Looking at the underground entrance, Yan Ming pursed his lips and remained silent.

The woman took a few steps forward, but didn't hear the footsteps behind her for a long time, and frowned slightly.

"What, you regret it?"

Yan Ming shook his head and followed quickly.

"No, I just didn't expect the layout of the building here to be so... secretive."

The woman laughed out loud after hearing the speechlessness in Yan Ming's words.

"The cunning rabbit still has three caves. In our line of work, how can we get around without any preparation?"

Not long after the two elves left, they came to an iron gate.

The rusty iron door was slowly opened, revealing the somewhat rotten wooden door. A strong musty smell hit the face, making people couldn't help but cover their mouth and nose for fear of smelling something unpleasant.

.

By the faint light of the kerosene lamp in the woman's hand, Yan Ming

After observing the surroundings, I found that this should be a storage room, and it was very large. In addition to some simple sundries, there were also many bottles, jars and wine bottles.

The woman led Yan Ming to a corner, stretched out her left hand and pressed it on a protrusion on the wall. As she pressed hard with her left hand, the originally empty wall suddenly cracked, revealing a circular shape.

Tunnel, there is a foul smell in the tunnel.

"Through this passage, you can reach a remote sewer exit. The target you want to assassinate is the person in the business house at the exit."

With that said, the woman handed a USB flash drive to Yan Ming.

"Here is information about the target. There is a communication code to contact me after the mission is successful."

Yan Ming covered his mouth and nose, frowned and took it.

"Oh, by the way, you can call me Gin. This is my code name. Generally speaking, I don't need to tell you this, but you are not my subordinate. Your original internal tasks can be reported to you.

The person in charge will give me my code name, which will give you enough time to complete this assassination mission first."

Yan Ming nodded to express his understanding. After seeing the opponent's strength and the Rockets icon, he knew that the opponent was in the Rockets and his status was not simple, so he had said that reason before.

Seeing that Yan Ming still looked disgusted with the environment, Ginjiu reminded him.

"Okay, go in, stop pretending, I know your situation very well, don't forget your mission."

"Um."

Yan Ming nodded and walked into the tunnel.

Seeing Yan Ming's actions, Gin glanced at Pikachu, who had been staying silently beside Yan Ming since he just entered the store, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Oh, by the way, kid, your disguise is terrible. Please be more careful in the future."

Yan Ming paused as he walked forward and did not reply. Instead, he took out the lighting device from his bracelet and headed towards the tunnel.

Walking in the tunnel, Yan Ming took out the illustrated book and inserted it into the USB flash drive, searching for information on the mission target. He wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible, and delaying it for too long would be very detrimental to his future arrangements.

Just looking at the information about the mission target, Yan Ming was a little surprised. He had actually seen the target, the man with gold-rimmed glasses who impressed Yan Ming deeply at the auction house.

The impression the other party gave me was not very good.

After briefly glancing at the information, Yan Ming had a strange look in his eyes.

According to Team Rocket's internal investigation, the other party is called Izuki Taneda, and he is one of the leaders of a branch of a company that specializes in elf sales in the Kanto area. The reason why they want to get rid of the other party is because the other party seems to be the SK team's secret agent.

A channel for selling elves, and because the other party had recently been targeting Team Rocket's company and seemed to have obtained some information, it was therefore treated as an assassination target.

"It's Team SK again..."

Yan Ming was already a little speechless. He had encountered the other organization three times in the past month, which was really annoying.

However, Yan Ming is somewhat interested in this Jing Zhongtian. Generally speaking, black organizations like their Rockets rarely assassinate influential figures. Even though Jing Zhongtian is only the person in charge on the surface, but

The company the other party works for is a major elf sales channel in the Kanto area. They provide the elf and elf eggs that most people buy.

This means that whatever happens to them will attract the attention of the people in the Kanto area. Therefore, it stands to reason that the most the Rockets can do is suppress the opponent, but not assassinate them, because it will cause a lot of trouble and the gain will not be worth the loss.

So what information did the other party know that made Team Rocket determined to deal with it regardless of the cost afterwards?
