"Jing Ke."
Lin Hao replied back faintly.
Without any nonsense, only hearing the store door 'creak', it was slowly opened.
In the next split second, what met his eyes was a man in black with a weird face.
The reason why it was weird was that Lin Hao found the man's face unnatural.
It was as if the human skin on that face was covering it, hiding his real appearance.
A human skin mask?
Lin Hao couldn't help but be staggered in his heart.
"Violet Night is waiting for you, come in."
The man in black said in a low voice.
Lin Hao nodded and walked straight in.
The store door was also re-closed and locked.
The Golden Sea Pavilion, itself, was an upscale restaurant.
At this moment, as soon as Lin Hao entered, he saw that there were quite a few silhouettes gathered in the first floor hall of the restaurant.
These people, all dressed in black, had masks of different shapes on their faces, and had a cold temperament.
"It seems that none of the assassins from the Underworld Pavilion show their true colors."
Lin Hao secretly guessed that he didn't know if the real appearance of his top boss, Purple Night, was the same as what he had seen before.
Perhaps it was because of being an assassin, although hundreds of people were gathered here at the moment, the atmosphere was incredibly quiet.
They were each sitting at a table, silent.
And as Lin Hao entered, in the next split second, an icy cold gaze was almost all projected towards him. Lin Hao secretly swallowed his saliva, facing so many murderous assassins for the first time, even though his mind was always calm, he was slightly creepy at this moment.
"Jing Ke, come here."
Violet Night raised her white arm and waved it towards Lin Hao.
Among all the assassins present, she was the one who looked relatively different.
It was because Violet Night wasn't like the others, who were all in dark, wide black clothes, instead, she was wearing her favorite purple outfit.
The tight purple clothes outlined her sexy body perfectly.
Her long hair was casually tied into a ponytail with a light purple ribbon, and with that cold face, her temperament was noble and mysterious.
"If you call me by my name like that, everyone knows where I come from."
Walking closer, Lin Hao frowned and whispered.
Although this place was currently considered to be the base camp of the Undercroft Organization, it was a bit inappropriate for revealing one's identity on such a public occasion, especially with so many assassins present.
"Don't worry, no one here knows what missions you, Jing Ke, have done, including your true identity, except for me and the group leader."
Violet Night smiled lightly, feeling that Lin Hao had changed a lot since he became a real assassin.
After all, in the beginning, Lin Hao was still the aunt of the Zhao family back then, and casually exposing his pet's ability and summoning it during assassination as well would easily be recognized.
Nowadays, however, Lin Hao was extremely detail-oriented in all aspects, and had undoubtedly grown into a rather experienced assassin.
This was something that made Violet Night very pleased.
"Everyone else really doesn't recognize me?"
At those words, a trace of surprise flashed through Lin Hao's eyes.
"Well, our organization is like a pyramid, even though we are all members of the same Underworld Pavilion, everyone has their own corresponding superiors."
Violet Night murmured, "Well for example, you and I, in order to ensure the secrecy of the mission, there will always only be one line to issue the mission, and no one else will be able to obtain any relevant information."
"So, among the same level of the organization, no one knows who you are except me."
"However, my superior, the leader of the organization, Dark Eagle, who is one of the top tiers of the pyramid, has the right to hold information about all the members."
After listening to what Purple Night had said, Lin Hao nodded his head thoughtfully.
It felt like this model was quite good, at least it could guarantee the secrecy of each member's assassin.
After all, as an assassin, the most sensitive thing was nothing more than exposing one's identity.
Otherwise, you disguise yourself as one of your prey's cronies, only for the mission information to be learned and leaked by other members.
At the end of the day, the nature of the risk was extremely high when you were caught instead before you could carry out the assassination.
"By the way, I'm curious, this face you have now, is it your real face?"
Lin Hao raised his eyebrows lightly and suddenly asked.
Unexpectedly, Violet Night was selling a secret, a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, "You'll know later."
"Good, then I'll wait."
At those words, Lin Hao smiled indifferently.
Immediately, he changed the topic and asked, "Do you know any insider information about tonight's gathering?"
Violet Night pondered slightly for a while, then said, "I'm not sure, we need to wait for the three group leaders to give us a mission before we will go out."
Lin Hao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
In the past, he had heard Violet Night tell him that there were three organizations in the Underworld Pavilion.
Sky, Fire, and Cloud.
For each group, there was a different division of tasks.
Heaven group, main killing, specializing in assassinating the prey in the mission, the members of this group, the strongest combat strength.
Fire group, main punishment.
Cloud group, responsible for intelligence gathering.
As for the leader of the sky group, 'Dark Eagle', Lin Hao had already met with him two years ago, and his strength was very strong.
As for the other two leaders, they had never met.
But being able to sit on the position of group leader, their strength should also be extremely terrifying.
The waiting time was not only boring, the process was also very slow.
Lin Hao's heart moved slightly, and he instantly remembered the storage ring that he had fished away in passing when he killed Mo Yuntian in the bamboo forest earlier.
It was just the right time to take advantage of this gap to check what valuable stuff was inside.
Right away, Lin Hao released a strand of spiritual power and quickly probed into the ring.
In the next instant, a flash of surprise surged on his face.
This was because he realized that inside this storage ring, there were actually hundreds of thousands of Spirit Yang Stones alone!
Runes and spells, martial arts books, pills that nourished qi and blood, and so on, all kinds of heavenly materials and treasures, were also in abundance.
Lin Hao couldn't help but take a deep breath, it was unexpected that Mo Tianyun's wealth was so abundant!
This was undoubtedly a blessing in disguise for Lin Hao, who had two sleeves nowadays.
Especially the hundreds of thousands of Spirit Yang Stones were even more useful.
Since the four talisman puppet beasts acquired in the ancient tomb mansion last time, only one third of the core energy body remained.
If it was depleted, it would inevitably be unable to be activated again.
And the energy required every time it was opened was extremely huge, at least with Lin Hao's current capital, it couldn't be supported at all.
Fortunately, this flying fortune had sort of solved his pressing problem.
As for Mo Yuntian's 10,000 gold card, no matter how strong the deposit was, Lin Hao had no greed for it.
If he transferred the money, the connection triggered by the rune would, I'm afraid, reveal his information location, and even trace Mo Tianyun's unexplained disappearance, as well as his death.
At that time, once the Blind Sword Saint came to his door, Lin Hao didn't have absolute confidence that he would be able to fight it off even if he had the four runic puppets and the fire scale tiger with them.
Therefore, Lin Hao, as he had done in the past, directly utilized his spiritual power to completely shatter the Wanjin card into powder, leaving no trace of clues behind.
"The group leader and the others are here."
Just as Lin Hao was secretly happy, Ziye's voice sounded beside his ears.
Lin Hao immediately looked up, only to see the three main seats in front of him.
At some point, three black shadows were already sitting on the end ...
