People are in the moon, The Sims

"Ah Shi...it's because the battle test is tomorrow and I want to complete my secret weapon as soon as possible."

After all, their battle assessment here is real. Even if they kill the opponent, it doesn't matter. The last time those war orphans fought, they really killed each other. Maybe it has something to do with their mentality. Becoming Hassan may be Their only way out, and at the same time these people are more hungry for power.

So in the eyes of those people, everyone around them is their enemy.

Irlan also roughly understood why most of the previous generations of Hassan were born from children in the village, rather than from these orphans.

At least in Ilan's view, the emotions in these orphans have begun to go to extremes. Is it really right for such a person to become Hassan? Even if he becomes Hassan, how long can he keep his faith?

If you want to become Hassan, you must understand the teachings. In Irlan's view, the more a profession is hidden in the darkness like an assassin, the more it requires a firm heart. It is just a firm heart without strength, and the same is true. Just false.

When the black-haired girl saw Erlan smiling at her, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then she turned her head and said softly, "Now that you are ready, let's go to the end..." .”

When Erlan turned around to answer, he saw that the girl had grabbed a thin quilt and wrapped herself up, closing her eyes, leaving only her back.

As for the fellow countryman who was slightly older than him, he had already closed his eyes and rested.

Hidden in the dark, the old man wearing a wooden mask naturally saw the smile on Irlan's face. A gleam of smile couldn't help but flash through his weathered eyes, and he felt deep in his heart that he was worthy of this generation. Hassan's favorite child.

Those who can still maintain their true intentions now will definitely not be so easily shaken in the future after determining their inner goals.

Only such people can serve as assassins and get a pretty good ending in the end.

Irlan looked at the completed small mechanism on his desk and put it on his hand, then hid it under the tattered cloak on his body. Then he blew out the candle and came to his place, using Wrapped himself in a thin quilt, he entered the night's rest time.

After a dreamless night, the rest time always passes quickly. The body that has formed a biological clock opens its eyes at the set time, and the surroundings are still bright with flames. It is also said that except for ten minutes at noon, there is basically nothing here. There will be sunlight shining down from the tiny canyon.

Chapter 51: Battle Test

The wooden-faced old man tapped the ground lightly with his cane. The sound was not loud, but it was enough to echo throughout the space.

Ilan stood up and moved his joints. The flexibility of his body was enough to make any dancer feel envious. In fact, Ilan was not the most flexible among the children present. I turned my head to look at the little girl. She looked like a snake without bones.

It's not that the body is really that soft. After all, the bones in the human body are the key to supporting the human body, but apart from this adjective, there is really no other word.

Of course, the physical flexibility of those war orphans is definitely not bad. After all, if you want to join this order, the minimum standard of physical flexibility will be enough to win the championship in future gymnastics competitions.

"Let's get started. Find your own opponent one-on-one. I've said it so many times. If you are not prepared, the result today will be your own choice."

For those who are unwilling to work hard after knowing what is going to happen in the future, isn’t that tantamount to giving up on themselves?

If such a child dies in today's game, in the eyes of the wooden-faced old man, it will be his own fault. The sect does not need such a waste, and such a waste will never inherit the name of Hassan.

Just as the wooden-faced old man finished speaking, a man stood in front of Irlan. At least among all the people at present, he and the black-haired girl from his hometown were the ones who looked more like each other in the eyes of others. It's easy to pinch persimmon. After all, in the growth period, the age gap will naturally bring about the gap in strength.

"No. 4..."

Irlan scratched his hair. Although he was getting nervous inside, he still acted very lazy on the surface, which was completely different from the boy No. 4 who belonged to the small team of war orphans in front of him.

Assassin's Code Article #: Assassins must learn to hide themselves, whether it is hiding their body shape or mood.

Of course, this is not the content of the teachings, but what Irlan summed up during these years of training. Should we say that the assassination organization of the Old Man of the Mountain really deserves to be called a religious sect? There are so many words about faith in the teachings that for a while Irlan didn't know if he was training a pope or an assassin.

So Ilan simply simplified and summarized it in his heart. At the same time, there were also many rules that were summarized from the teachings of Teacher Mu Mian.

The hand under Yilan's cloak was already close to the dagger hidden in the shadow. The aggression in the eyes of the boy in front of him was not fake. If this aggression was disguised, then the boy in front of him had a different temperament. terrible.

The next moment, the boy numbered No. 4 was already twisting his body. Three black daggers appeared in his hands, and he threw them directly in the direction of Irlan. Then he turned his hands, and two more short blades appeared. With it in his hand, the smile on his face became even more beautiful, even a little bloodthirsty.

Well, Yilan's face dropped slightly in his heart. It seemed that he looked down on the No. 4 in front of him a little bit, ah! ! Why did I analyze it in my mind for so long like an idiot? I thought you were a king, but you turned out to be just a bronze?

I thought your impulse was feigned, but it turned out that your impulse was real. With such a mentality, is it true that you are an assassin rather than a berserker? !

Ilan dodged aside calmly, but kept complaining in his heart. This is the only way to adjust his mentality in this relatively depressing environment. Sometimes Ilan really feels that he is not cold enough, so Doesn't fit in with other people.

Of course, this coldness is not directed at the mountain people. After all, it is clearly written in the teachings that the mountain people will worship the old people in the mountains, and the old people in the mountains must also protect the mountain people as companions and family members. This is not only It's just a matter of one sentence. If both parties separate and everyone in the village chooses to leave...

No, even if only half of them leave, the entire sect's logistics will have serious problems.

The three daggers sank into the ground. Looking at No. 4 who was rushing towards him, Irlan grabbed his tattered cloak and raised it up to block No. 4's sight. If there wasn't any dust on the ground, he would have been there right now. You shouldn’t just grab a handful of dust and dirt and throw it up.

Article N of the Assassin's Code: Now that the decision has been made, if you need to be shameless before completing the task, then don't be shameless. We are assassins anyway, and others who want to call us mean can only use "that assassin".

So what does it have to do with me, Irlan, for you to find "that assassin"?

Number 4 had obviously anticipated this situation. After all, they were all taught by the same teacher. Even if not everyone mastered this technique, everyone was on guard against it.

The two weapons in No. 4's hands immediately slashed and stabbed towards the front. Each hand performed different movements. This technique of drawing a square with the right hand and a circle with the left hand was mastered by everyone present. Base.

What a joke, if you can't even learn this skill that can be mastered with training, you really don't have the talent to be an assassin.

At least Mu Mian has never encountered such rotten wood.

The dagger that No. 4 thrust forward hit a hole in the air, and the dagger that was swung downwards collided with a piece of metal, and finally slid in one direction.

Number 4's eyes suddenly widened. As assassins in training, their reactions were of course relatively quick. He could feel an attack approaching him quickly.

No. 4's head tilted to the side, and Irlan's arm holding the dagger just rubbed it. No. 4's hair crossed, and No. 4 deflected to the side, and then kicked it out.

Yilan is younger than No. 4, and is naturally a bit weaker than No. 4 in terms of strength, but he also has his own advantages. His small stature is one of his current advantages, although he is not as proficient in hiding skills. Mastery, but the small body naturally makes it much easier to dodge attacks.

After successfully dodging the kick by twisting his body in the air without any relay points, Irlan dropped his body, then stretched out his right hand forward and grabbed No. 4's throat.

That's it!

I hope that No. 4 in front of me can understand that he has lost, otherwise——

The muscles in Erlan's right hand are ready to move his wrist at any time.

Chapter 52: Hands stained with blood

It's just that No. 4 is a member of a small group of war orphans. After accepting the teachings of the sect, their training is relatively simple. They will constantly tell them that in addition to becoming Hassan, they may also be Hassan. Apart from their assistants, they have no other way out.

So these kids are extremely radical.

Just holding the child's throat with his hands is not going to make the child admit defeat. It would be better to say that in the eyes of No. 4, what Ilan did was just like giving him a chance and indulging him to do what he did. Resistance is the same.

So the dagger in his hand turned slightly and stabbed Ilan's neck quickly.

Irlan raised his other hand, and the device on his wrist collided with the dagger stabbed by No. 4. At this time, Irlan was glad that he had completely used metal when making the mechanism. , so I can firmly block the dagger coming this time, but now I am still a little weaker than No. 4 in front of me.

Irlan raised his knee and placed it firmly on No. 4's other arm joint, barely bringing the two of them into a stalemate.

"No. 4!! Do you understand what will happen if this continues?!"

Number 4, who was held hostage by Yilan, had no intention of thinking about this at all, or in other words, when he heard that there was going to be a battle test, he was already prepared to fight to the death.

These orphans can be cultivated, so they are not just simple idiots. I am afraid they have already seen what advantages they, the children in the village, have in the selection of inheritance.

But they emerged from the village like this, and if all the children disappeared, then naturally they would have to be selected from war orphans like them. At that time, the advantages that the children in the village had would not exist at all.

All of them will be on the same page.

Thinking of this, No. 4, who kept silent, had a hint of jealousy in his eyes. Yes, he was jealous and resentful. Why did they lose everything in the war, but these children in front of them still have villages and families? Why do they still have villages and families? When there is only one road left in front of these orphans, will these children with their own advantages appear in front of them again? !

They have fallen to this point, and they are still unwilling to give them some slack? !

Ilan was stung by the eyes filled with resentment, jealousy and anger. He was overly mature and lowered his head slightly. His unkempt hair covered his eyes.

In fact, we should have understood long ago that people are different.

Even now they all live together in this space and have the same goal, which is to become a qualified assassin and leave here even if they cannot inherit Hassan's position! But in this process, everyone's inner development is different.

Now he and No. 4 in front of him have gone in two different directions. Although he doesn't want to accuse the other party arrogantly, No. 4 in front of him must have taken the wrong path.

Such a person cannot become an assassin! ! If such a person has a chance to leave here, he will only become a madman in the darkness!

Even now, Ilan still cannot understand the meaning of Hassan and the teachings of the Order, but at least one thing is certain, whether it is the meaning of the name Nahasan or the teachings of the Order, it is In order to bind such a heart that is silent in darkness.

Maybe it's out of arrogance, maybe out of impulsiveness, maybe... it's for his own principles, as an assassin, it's always the first time.

Irlan gritted his teeth. Although he wanted to close his eyes, he finally chose to raise his head and look directly into the eyes of the boy in front of him. Then he grabbed the palm of No. 4's throat and pushed it forward gently. His muscles drove the mechanism to start operating. .

There was a subtle sound of metal piercing flesh.

The sharp Hidden Blade pierced the skin, passed through the muscles, cut off the blood vessels, and destroyed the nerves. It even penetrated into the spine with precision and without any obstruction, completely destroying the spinal nerves.

Since it's not just for relief... let's do it neatly!

The assassin's cruelty and mercy are as follows: killing with one blow, not giving the target the possibility of living, and not letting the target feel too much pain. He is the assassin, not the torturer.

Click——

The hidden sword was retracted, feeling the hot and sticky blood on the palm of his hand. Irlan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. This was the first time that his hands were stained with blood, and he was also the first among this batch of cultivated seedlings to kill. to people who are also cultivators.

At this moment, both Mu Mian and the other training members who were standing not far away were silent for a while. Mu Mian still had a bit of approval and expectation in his eyes. He had been waiting for this moment. The same batch of This is the moment when the children in training begin to be stained with the blood of their peers.

This will become the switch for the next stage. Only those who have passed this spiritual barrier and stick to the line may get out of here. Otherwise, even if they survive, they will only become the sharpener for the next batch of Hassan candidates. Shi, just like the three old people who are still locked up now.

After seeing such a scene, the other candidates around them stopped their movements for a moment, and then looked at each other. As if a switch was turned on, these children became more and more crazy in the next round of collisions. Many people have changed their goal to kill the candidates in front of them to relieve their own pressure.

Irlan looked at all this with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

What are these people doing? Just to reduce the pressure of promotion, so he decided so easily to kill his companions who have been by his side for so many years?

Even if everyone doesn't have such a strong relationship with each other, even if everyone is a competitor... Do they think that as long as they have the ability to kill everyone, they can become a qualified assassin?

That's the butcher...

What do these guys see in life? !

Irlan wanted to stand up and do something, but a force came from his shoulders and pushed him down. The old man Mu Mian had already come to Irlan's side, "You can't change anything, this is their nature." , regarding the test of the soul, they can only rely on themselves.

In addition, this is also the second lesson I teach you. Every action we take will have subsequent consequences, so we must also consider the subsequent consequences before taking on a task... This is also the inner meltdown of most mature assassins. s reason. "

Chapter 53: Trial of the Heart

If you can't strengthen your true heart, if you can't still hold on to your true heart after being impacted, then the path of an assassin will come to an end.

If you are an assassin in other places, you may still have the possibility of retreating, but in the Old Man's Order in the Mountain, sorry, the moment you lose the qualifications to be an assassin, it is basically the moment you lose your life.

In fact, although Irlan understands this, it is not so easy to accept it. As mentioned before, Irlan is more mature and natural compared to other children, and the teachings of the Old Man of the Mountains are not that It's easy to leave it firmly engraved in his heart.

Although Yilan is still a child, due to his premature maturity and some common sense in his mind, he has now initially formed his own outlook on life and values. This is the initial formation of his outlook on life and values. Values, under the influence of the teachings of the old man in the mountain, are forming a new concept.

The cult that was born out of the old man in the mountains is similar but somewhat different.

[This combat test taught me a good lesson. 】

[At the same time, there seems to be a seed in my heart that has been buried silently. 】

[Obtained: Assassin's Creed: D (This is a seed that has not yet sprouted. It is a firm will and an inner principle. Will this seed sink or thrive? Only time will tell us the answer.)]

Ever since the battle test ended that day, the smell of blood has often lingered in this training space.

More than once or twice, when everyone wakes up from their night's rest, they will find a corpse that was killed in their sleep lying next to them. Perhaps for a growing assassin, being killed by someone around him at night, It's a shame in itself...

Although it is reasonable, something seems wrong.

Some people become more and more extreme under such circumstances, and some normal candidates also begin to become extreme under such circumstances. This is a journey of inner suffering, and everyone is trapped in this situation. In such an environment, only by not being changed by the environment can you stick to your true heart.

But this is really too difficult.

Several times at night when only the sound of breathing was left, Irlan almost raised the dagger in his hand when he looked at the lost people who were constantly fighting each other to death every day.

At that time, there was always a voice that kept echoing in my ears. Anyway, these people had already gone astray. It was annoying to hang out in front of me every day, and it also made more people start to cross the line in their hearts...

In this case, then I will send these people's souls to the underworld at night and put an end to all mistakes.

But in the end, Irlan endured it. If you regard this training ground as the world, when the world falls into chaos, then you should stay awake and not be controlled by the temporary anger and irritability in your heart. This is also unreasonable. Maybe he was just watching quietly from the sidelines.

Presumably in Mu Mian's heart, many people have been marked with crosses, and the days passed day after day while the number of people continued to decrease. During this period, Yilan and the others also began to learn from the classics. Learn the secret technique that suits you.

Yilan did not choose a secret technique that required transforming his body type. Although such a secret technique basically has a great success rate as long as the body does not reject it, Yilan knew that he was talented in mechanism skills, so he found The secret of sharing feelings with inanimate objects.

In fact, it is equivalent to sharing your vision, smell, hearing, and feelings with the objects you choose, so that an inanimate existence can be regarded as somewhat alive. Maybe you can control one or two puppets after training. How many activities can you do?

This secret technique was stuffed in a corner, covered with dust. In the eyes of most people, this secret technique has no great effect at all. Could it be that they sneaked into the target venue in advance, arranged a few puppets, and then used all their strength to control the people at the critical moment? Oops, suddenly hit the target with a knife?

It seems weird to carry out assassinations in this way, but in fact if they just pursue the success rate and efficiency of assassinations, there are too many secret techniques for them to choose from, such as using sound waves to kill people, or turning various substances into explosive.

What's more, you've already sneaked in once. If you don't kill the target on the spot, you have to exit again and control the puppet to assassinate. Isn't it troublesome?

The black-haired girl learned the secret technique that can generate mist, and can even hide herself in the mist. At the same time, she can integrate different medicines into the mist. It is not a very difficult secret technique, and it doesn't seem to be anything. Too powerful of destructive power, but isn’t there such a saying?

There are no weak skills, only weak skill users.

Compared with the two people who are more stable, the war orphans' choices are much more radical. Most of them use secret techniques with powerful lethality. Two people even need to undergo physical transformation, and one of them is... The first time he underwent transformation, he died directly due to body rejection.

The other one chose the body of a World of Warcraft and had it modified and stitched on his body, and he barely adapted. Even so, he usually had to wrap his body under heavy bandages with sealing and calming effects. After all, it was similar to the body of Warcraft. Compared to humans, humans are still too weak.

During this process, several more people died from the rampage of secret techniques. The older boy who came here with Irlan was said to be a sparring match, but it turned into a life-and-death encounter. He fell asleep here during the assessment of the battle. Although this boy also had a strong talent, only those who grow up are geniuses.
