CHAPTER 41: 1000th KILLER RANK
“No,…No”
Zhang Yang shook his head repeatedly. He’s just a student
and the conflict between two students was not enough to move towards the point
of using a gun. In fact, Zhang Yang hadn’t psychologically prepared himself to
kill Lu Fei. Although he had some uncontrollable killing intents, still there
were a subconscious rejection in his heart for killing in real life …
“Then I can’t help you…”
The old man slowly lied on the couch. His eyes flashed a
hint of disappointment.
……………..
Soon, Zhang Yang was once again immersed in the vast world
of words. Instinctively, he read the first book “The art of war”. It really
surprised him that that pirated book was actually giving him a strange feeling,
a kind of inexplicable feeling, an unknown sensation that couldn’t be explained
clearly, which was always entangled with his thoughts and soul.
Obviously the feeling from the content of the book was
different from the book at the library.
After confirming this feeling, Zhang Yang was
enthusiastically reading and changing the books. In the process, he was more
and more amazed by the ancient works of writing. It was making his body
resonant.
What made Zhang Yang feel strange was that the feeling of
resonance from different books were different. Some books were able to make him
feel “ready to start wriggling (#idiom)” kind of feeling while some books
merely had a slight reaction to his body.
Why?
Things seemed to be more and more complicated, which was
going beyond Zhang Yang’s capacity of thinking. In fact, most of the books were
not linked to martial arts and were entirely ideological or simply story
telling works.
Soon after reading for several hours, he sorted out the
books that produced strong sensation and those books with no reaction were
placed back on the shelves.
The whole morning, Zhang Yang kept searching for powerful
secrets inside the vast text of the book. What made him disappointed was that
he could not control his own thoughts inside his body. In the end, even those
books which produced some response in his body started to get misty, and
slowly, the troubling feeling also got more and more small …
“Do you really want to learn from the scratch?”
Zhang Yang got pulled out from inside the sea of books,
looking blankly at the never before seen knowledge of martial arts.
All of a sudden!!!!
Zhang Yang felt a murderous intentions infiltrate the air.
He couldn’t refrain himself from shivering and as he looked up, he only saw Lao
Li’s pair of turbid eyes become sharp and firmly staring outside. The entire
person looked like a sculpture …
Following Lao Li’s eyes, Zhang Yang saw the three people who
he’d previously noticed a few days before. That sturdy young man with
mixed-race appearance, wearing a pair of jeans, a pair of white wave shoes, a
very stylish casual white silk shirt, and the two bodyguards still in a suit
with a serious looking face. The three men walked inside the alley.
“Who are they?” Zhang yang asked. He remembered that the
last time these three were here, the old man didn’t have such murderous aura,
but this time Zhang yang began to suspect that this old man knows Martial arts.
He really couldn’t figure out how the people with the knowledge of martial arts
shed that kind of heart-throbbing pressure and murderous intent at the same
time. Lao Li’s murderous reminiscent and the old main from the library’s
pressure was somewhat similar.
“No one …” The old man watched the three disappearing inside
the alley, and the palpitation of his eyes scattered and got replaced by a
sluggish expression.
“Lao Li, you really don’t know martial arts?” Zhang Yang was
unwilling to give up.
“No, why do you ask?”
“I think sometimes you can create a feeling of fear, isn’t
that one of the features of martial arts written in the book?”
“Trust me, you are reading the fictional novels on the
internet way more, and all those are about the masters. Do I look like a master
to you?” The old man sat up and knocked Zhang Yang on his head with his hand.
“Hey ..hey …”Zhang Yang touched his head and smiled.
“And yeah, your observations are very good, but still I
really do not know martial arts. I’ve never used a knife to kill others …”
“Killing …” Zhang Yang suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
The man’s eyes were plain when he mentioned killing, but it led Zhang Yang to
produce a deep sense of fear.
“I kill, with a gun!”
The old man gave a faint smile. That secret, which most of
the people of C city didn’t know about, now he had told it to a child. Suddenly
he felt relaxed, relieved that his secret was released. The old man himself
didn’t understand why he wanted to tell that child his secret, however, his
answer was simply subconscious.
“You are a killer?” Zhang Yang’s eyes were wide open. He
couldn’t imagine that the old man he saw every day was a legendary killer.
“Sort of ..” The old man put his hand on his head, his
eyes ethereal and clinking, as if he were reminiscing about the lost years.
“What’s your rank
in the killer world?”
“Cough …cough … What do you think? You have a good opinion
of me … …” The old man coughed with a red face.
“The book doesn’t say anything about that. You have
withdrawn from the society and live in solitude in this downtown area, may be a
master?” Zhang yang muttered.
“…………” The old man was speechless.
“What’s the matter? You look intense.”
“Hehehehe, since you asked for it, I’ll tell you. If I have
to estimate my killer ranking, it would line up to be 1000 or later…”
“More than one thousand …” Zhang Yang started to ignore. He didn’t
have a slightest interest on that information. When a person’s ranking is
behind one thousand on a list, it is better not to go there.
“What’s the matter? Are you looking down upon uncle Li? The
old man laughed.
“No …” Zhang Yang hastily waved his hand.
“Oh, then I’ll ask you, how many countries are there on earth?”
“That … is not specifically calculated, independence occurs
day to day. It is estimated that there are more than 200 countries.”
“Well, even when there are only two hundred countries, if there
are a total of 1000 killers, how many killers does each country has?”
“Five.” Zhang Yang was a bit baffled, but still he answered
honestly.
“Well, five killers, that’s all over the world, now compare
it to the cities …”
Zhang Yang was blank. He was unable to answer the question. The number of cities in the whole world are
larger than C city by countless times. There was no absolute data at all. In
China only, there are 300 cities that are larger than C city. The number of
cities in the world could not be calculated.
“Do you still look down on me?” The old man laughed.
Suddenly Zhang Yang understood what the old man meant.
Although the old man was only 1000 in ranking and not qualified to be a master
in killing, but through a global perspective, he was quite formidable. At the
least, the old man may be the most powerful one in C city.
“Do you have a gun?” Zhang Yang’s eyes started to glow from
inside. As a good student, Zhang Yang had never seen a real gun in his life,
but as a normal person, he had almost no interest in guns.
“Hahaha, if a killer doesn’t have a gun, he cannot be called
a killer.” The old man laughed.
