Chapter 291: Chapter 190 Buy Candy”Who are you?” Jiang Shu didn’t let the man in front of him inside because the man’s oppressive aura was simply too strong.

A height of one meter ninety, a muscular but not at all bloated figure, medium-length straight black hair, a handsome but expressionless face, and a pair of sharp and spirited eyes.

And Jiang Shu had also smelled an extremely dangerous scent on this man, a feeling that was very special, one that neither Tang nor Fox nor Clo had ever given him.

Like a slender, sharp bullet.

The man took out a stack of small cards from the pocket of his coat and showed Jiang Shu the first one, which bore two large characters: Lang Tai.

”Lang Tai? Your name?” Jiang Shu asked in return.

The man nodded.

”Did Clo send you?” Jiang Shu continued to ask.

Lang Tai removed the letter he had been biting in his mouth and handed it over to Jiang Shu with both hands.

And Jiang Shu, once again, beckoned to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi shook his head with a sigh, leaped three feet into the air to take the letter from Lang Tai’s hand, opened it, and scanned the text.

Its movement was slick and accomplished, but then suddenly, it froze for over half a minute, motionless.

”What’s up?” Jiang Shu frowned and nudged Xiao Yi with the tip of his foot.

Xiao Yi’s face turned solemn: I’m converting the file format. It’s currently a PDF. It needs a little time.

”Oh.” Jiang Shu nodded, unquestioning.

Yi: Word is heavy, bear with it.

Jiang Shu: ”...”

Screwed up.

He swiftly scooped up Xiao Yi and directly opened the information that it had just recorded.

It was still a letter, but compared to the one entrusted by the fish mother, this one was much shorter.

Jiang Shu, upon opening:

We meet again.

In the Thirteen District, I acknowledged a sworn brother named Harold. If you are well-read in history, you might know of him. He is responsible for leading my retired soldiers and his military ability is second only to mine.

And he has a sworn son, well, the man standing in front of you right now.

Lang Tai is unquestionably the best killer in the entire Lonely City; he should be of great help to you. All you need to do is provide him with a place to stay and some rations.

From now on, if you don’t mind, you and he can call each other brothers.

Goodbye.

No, rather, let’s hope we never meet again.

Farewell.

Jiang Shu: ”...”

Damn it, thinking of taking advantage of me even after death.

”Lang Tai?” Jiang Shu turned to look at the man in front of him.

Now wasn’t the time for the theater to be open, yet here was Lang Tai appearing at his doorstep. It seemed he wasn’t a mutant like the fish mother, so...

A Key Master?

Lang Tai nodded, took a step forward, but still no words came.

Silent, powerful, sharp, with an exceptional demeanor.

It could be said that Lang Tai satisfied all the good fantasies people have about the word ”assassin.”

”Can you show me your Character Card?” Jiang Shu asked directly.

Lang Tai, without hesitation, opened his wristwatch and revealed his Character Card.

Name: Lang Tai

Character Card·Assassin

Gradient: T0

Sequence: Combat Sequence.

Mysterious Coefficient: 0.3

Entries: (omitted)

”T0?” Jiang Shu was momentarily stunned; this was the first time he’d seen a T0 level existence, and it was from the Combat Sequence to boot.

It qualified as SSSR-level, but he wasn’t a Key Master.

He muttered to himself in his mind.

But, this occupation as an assassin...

Jiang Shu slightly furrowed his brow. Did the Main Brain recognize this as a legitimate occupation?

Character Cards don’t show anything like a crime sequence, things like murderers, arsonists, fraudsters, none of these would appear on a Character Card, but now this assassin seemed to be a recognized legitimate profession, which Jiang Shu found rather novel.

Perhaps...

About the same as the occupation of a mercenary?

”Come in,” Jiang Shu motioned to him, ”don’t just stand at the door.”

Lang Tai bore no hostility; that much was clear.

How obvious was it?

Jiang Shu had just attempted to use Mind Reading on him and what he got was rather straightforward.

[Hungry.]

[Need an intake of around 900 kilocalories of energy.]

The feedback from the Mind Reading Technique was practically robotic.

As they walked past the bathroom, Lang Tai’s steps slowed down. He stopped in front of the bathroom door, glanced at Jiang Shu heading to the refrigerator, hesitated for a moment, then opened the bathroom door.

Two mutes met.

With no words or hand signs, the only thing that could be considered communication was that Lang Tai extended his hand; he shook hands with the fish mother, and then both of them nodded to each other.

When Jiang Shu turned around, he just happened to see this scene; he couldn’t help but feel a comical sense, as if the two facing each other inside and outside the bathroom were country folk happy to see one another.

What, they didn’t come here together?

”Any dietary restrictions?” Jiang Shu said, rummaging through the refrigerator for some steamed buns he’d made a few days ago, while casually asking Lang Tai, who stood motionless by the table.

He turned back around, looking at Lang Tai, but all Lang Tai did was shake his head.

”Go ask the fish mother in the bathroom if she’s hungry.” Jiang Shu calculated the conversion rate between the buns and energy for a long while before scratching his head and turning his seeking gaze to Xiao Jia.

And Xiao Jia, understanding Jiang Shu’s intention, thoughtfully typed ”around 10” on the public screen.

”He’s quite an eater.” Jiang Shu took out twelve, then turned to look at the quietly coming and going Lang Tai.

On the Simulated Light Screen, Lang Tai wrote: She says she swam here from Gu River, so she’s not hungry, but she wants cooked fish for lunch. Clo doesn’t allow her to eat raw fish anymore.
