Chapter 40: Murderous Intent

Chapter 41: Murderous Intent

After parting with Shiho, I returned to the room. Looking at Shizuru who was still sleeping soundly on my bed, I said helplessly, "This girl. She's drooling again." I tried to make my body as light as possible and took out a set of clothes that Shizuru had just brought back for me from the closet. I tried them on and they fit me perfectly. Shizuru is indeed the person who has slept with me for two years... Bah. Slip of the tongue. The person who has lived with me for two years. She can choose clothes that fit me without even measuring my height. Choosing her as my subordinate was definitely the most correct thing to do. Moreover, she is beautiful and likes to play cosplay. Really... Hehe. Uh. Am I a little evil?

I shook my head and walked out of the room. After a quick breakfast, I ran to the elevator.

"Good morning. Bing~" A sweet voice sounded as I turned through the elevator corridor.

"Ah. It's Ling. Good morning. Taichi and Mary. Good morning to you all." I greeted them.

"Good morning, Brother Bing." The two bowed to me as usual. But today they were a little different. Mary changed her yellow robe and put on my black windbreaker. Taiyi also wore the silver-gray casual tie I gave him.

"Ah, it seems that as you grow older, I have to give you a gift every year." I smiled. Taiyi and Mary blushed after hearing this.

"Hey, Bing. Can you continue training us tonight? Didn't you say yesterday that there was still something we hadn't worked on regarding reaction strength?" Ling looked at me excitedly.

"Um. Okay. If you have nothing else, come see me after dinner today. But this time let's go to the pistol training ground." I thought about it and said.

"Yeah, no problem." Ling nodded happily. It seemed that yesterday's training was very beneficial to her.

"Ah, it's really lively here." A soft voice sounded. It was Shiho. She came too. But behind her there was a middle-aged man in black clothes.

"Huh? You're here, Shiho." I smiled.

"Bing... why is your woman here?" Ling looked at me with the same tone and half-moon eyes as last night.

"Um. That's right. Shiho is going to take a firearms course starting today. So..."

"So she will train with you, right?" Ling looked at me with contempt.

"Uh...don't say that." I smiled awkwardly.

"But, it seems that the man behind her taught her. Hehe. You don't have a chance to touch her." Ling smiled mischievously. I looked back at the man. He raised his eyebrows slightly, then turned around and smiled confidently at Ling.

"Ling. Do you want to see what I look like when I fully release my murderous aura?"

"Huh?" Ling was a little surprised.

"Haha. Do you want to take a look?"

"Yeah. Do you want to use that guy as a demonstration?"

"Of course. Tell Taiyi and the others to keep an eye out." I smiled wickedly and walked towards the man.

"Hey. Are you Shirley's gun instructor?" I asked.

"Ah. It's Brother IceWine. Yes. It was Sister Vermouth who asked me to come and teach her."

"Sister Bell? Does she still care about these things?"

"Yes. Because there are not many gold medal killers in the organization. So this elective course was planned under the name of Sister Vermouth." The man said respectfully.

"Well. Please go back and tell Sister Bell that I will be the one to teach Shirley's firearms class. You can go back now." I said to him lightly.

"But. This is the order from Sister Vermouth. I..." The man hesitated.

"I'll say it again. You can go back. Tell Sister Bell that I will be teaching Shirley's class." I lowered my head slightly, and the strands of hair on my forehead blocked my expression.

"But. This..."

"Don't you understand what I said?" I raised my head suddenly. I stared at him fiercely with cold and ferocious eyes, and the murderous aura around me instantly erupted, locking the target on him alone. The invisible murderous aura was like a gust of cold wind, blowing the bonsai next to the elevator to sway, as if even time was about to be frozen. I believe that if Ling and the others were eroded by such murderous aura, they would be suffocated directly. But not now. Because my murderous aura did not lock on them. But that's it. They will also feel uncomfortable all over their bodies. And Shiho is completely fine. Because behind me, I was distracted and deliberately avoided Shiho, and at the same time released a faint aura around her. After all, she is not a combatant, so she should feel very relieved at this time.

"Ah! Yes... it's Brother IceWine! I know! I'm so sorry! Please forgive my rudeness! Please forgive me!" The man was completely focused on by my murderous aura. He was trembling as he spoke, and he didn't even have the strength to stand. He knelt on the ground in panic and kept kowtowing to me.

"Get out!" I spat out the word coldly.

"Yes. I'll get out of here right now. I'll get out of here right now." As he said that, the man rolled and crawled out of the elevator corridor.

I took back my murderous aura. I took a deep breath. It had been a long time since I had released all the murderous aura in my body. It felt really good.

"Bing...you are really scary." Ling's voice became a little trembling.

"Ah? I have already released my aura to protect you from my murderous intent. Why are you still like this?" I asked Ling, who was trembling a little.
"No..." Ling said. "We are fine. But look at that man." Ling pointed to some bloodstains on the ground. They were the bloodstains left by the man when he kowtowed to me just now.

"That man, judging by his age, is he in his 30s or 40s? If he joined the organization as a teenager like us, then the murderous aura he has accumulated over the past 20 years is not as much as that of a child like you. A killer who has been a killer for 20 years has been frightened like this by the murderous aura of a child like you. You... are really a monster."

"Haha, maybe it's because I'm gifted." I smiled faintly. "So. Are you still willing to challenge me?"

"I...I..." Ling was trembling and didn't dare to look at me.

"Silly girl." I rubbed her bangs. "Don't forget, I'm your brother." While talking to Ling, I once again released a faint aura to protect Ling. I hope she can quickly get rid of what just happened. "Brother..." Ling lowered her head and said softly.

"Ah? Ling. You are finally willing to call me brother. Wow hahaha, I'm so beautiful!!" I laughed exaggeratedly.

"Stupid... idiot..." Ling reacted. Her angry face pouted again, "I won't call you brother, don't even think about it! Also, I will definitely participate in the challenge in two months. Just wait to be defeated by me!"

"Hehe. This is my Ling. But... little girl, you are still too young." I rubbed Ling's purple bangs and smiled unscrupulously.

"Ahem." A soft voice said. "Sir, should we go for training?" Shiho squinted her eyes and stared at me.

"Ah. That... OK, I'll open the door." Seeing Shiho looking a little jealous, I turned around and smiled at her, then used the elevator card to open the elevator door.

"Haha. It seems that Brother Bing is really afraid of Shirley." Mary covered her mouth and smiled softly.

"Um... I once heard a Chinese saying that goes 'One thing conquers another'. It seems that this saying is very suitable for Brother Bing." Taiyi shrugged and said to Mary.

"Ah..." Ling also turned around and looked at the two of them. Then she lowered her head and sighed helplessly. "I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to recognize this brother."

After sending Ling and the others to their respective training grounds, Shiho and I went to the pistol training ground together.

"Shiho, have you ever handled a pistol before?" I asked softly.

Shiho shook her head. "No. I've been learning since I joined the organization. I've seen software for learning about firearms, but I've never touched one."

"I see. So what kind of gun do you want to use? Browning? I picked up the Browning M1911 that Taichi placed here yesterday and asked."

"I don't like this black gun." Shiho pouted.

"What about the Desert Eagle?" I took out my favorite gun from my arms, held it in my backhand and handed it over. The silver Desert Eagle shone brightly under the light.

"Hmm? What a beautiful gun." Shiho took the Desert Eagle. "But. It seems too heavy." After weighing it in her hand, Shiho frowned. "Is there a lighter one like this?"

"Uh...if the Desert Eagle is lighter, can it still be called a Desert Eagle?" I said with a slight twitch in my mouth.

"I don't care. I just like this color." Shiho actually acted like a spoiled child to me, which was rare. It turned out that under her cold appearance, she also had a heart that loved to act like a spoiled child like a normal girl. She hoped to be loved by others, especially by the person she liked. Maybe my appearance changed her, or maybe she had always been like this, but the person who loved and spoiled her didn't appear in the original painting.

"How about this?" I smiled faintly and took out two Magnum revolvers from the necklace. Of course, I used my windbreaker to cover them. Otherwise, with Shiho's personality, she would have sent my necklace to the dissection table.

"Magnum. It's very powerful. I modified it to a five-round magazine. The long version is about the same weight as the Desert Eagle, but this short version is very light. Do you want to try it?" As I said that, I handed the short revolver to Shiho.

"Oh my. So cute." Shiho played with the short Magnum and couldn't let it go.

"Uh... cute? Can this adjective be used to describe a gun?" I was puzzled.

"Why? Is it not possible?" Shiho heard my mumbling and looked at me with squinted eyes.

"Haha. Of course. I'll give you this gun. I'll feel at ease if you keep it with you."

"Eh? What do you mean? Are you going to leave?" Shiho suddenly said to me with an uneasy look on her face.

Ah. Of course not. Why would I leave? I mean, I always feel uneasy if I don’t have a gun with me. So I will feel more at ease if you carry one. Hehe."

"Bing...you didn't lie to me." Shiho's eyes dimmed.

"Haha. Idiot. How can I bear to leave you? I can't spoil you enough." I walked to Shiho, held her tender little hand, and drew circles in her palm.

"Really?" Shiho still didn't believe it.

"Haha. Really. When have I ever lied to you?" I laughed.

"Two months ago, you lied to me when you were injured." Shiho narrowed her eyes and looked at me. My eyes instantly turned into small ones after hearing her words. "Uh... that was an accident, an accident... hehe." I smiled awkwardly.

"Hey... Bing." Shiho looked at me worriedly. "If you have any missions in the future, please tell me, okay?"

"Haha, okay~ As long as it's the Queen's order, I will obey." I looked at her gently. With my affirmation, Shiho also changed from being uneasy just now to smiling.

"Um...Shiho." I looked at her a little embarrassed.

"Huh? What?"

"According to the plot, shouldn't you be happily leaning into my arms now?" My cheeks blushed slightly.

"Eh?" Shiho was a little stunned. Then she smiled at me playfully. "Let's talk about it when you are taller than me."

“Wow, wow, wow…” I burst into tears.
