Chapter 49: Memories Found

  Ying couldn't believe his eyes, was he kidding... how could it be Lian Xi? Ying suddenly felt like the sky was going to collapse, he knew he was about to break down...

  "At this time, a familiar voice echoed in Xing's mind: 'You can spend 5 survival points to recall the memories related to coldness in your mind. Do you want to recall?'"

  Ying hesitated for a moment, then replied firmly "Yes!"

  As soon as the words fell, Ying suddenly had a severe headache, as if it was about to split open. Dizziness followed immediately. Everything in front of her eyes became blurred. In her mind, it was like a movie being projected, and all the memories related to Leng that she had lost came back to her...

  "How dare you come and steal my target? Do you know who I am?" Shadow said tirelessly.

  "Hmph, couldn't even kill him with your own hands, shows you're not up to the task... Don't blame others, as for who you are, I'm not interested in knowing..."

  "You don't need to know now! Because you're going to be a dead man soon......" As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow launched a swift attack, but was dodged...

  "I admire your skills... As we are both sacrificing for the Empire of Blood, I don't want to kill you! We will meet again..." The man in white turned around and left, disappearing instantly at the alley entrance.

  This is the scene where Leng and Ying meet for the first time...

  Later on, Leng often went to watch movies and, as usual, always messed around during the movie.

  "It's you again! Why can't you just leave me alone... How infuriating!" Shadou exclaimed in anger.

  "I've said it before, we'll meet again... Shadow!" Still dressed in white, "Let me introduce myself formally, I'm the only X-class killer in the organization, codename: Cold!"

  X-level? Having heard the cold words, Shadow stood there in a daze, no wonder he was flashed past during the first attack...... His own move had never failed before. It turned out to be an X-level killer. However, Shadow never put others in his eyes.

  At that time, he was just an A-level assassin.

  "What shall we do together from now on..."

  Out of curiosity and unwillingness to back down, Ying did not reject Leng's proposal. Afterwards, Leng told Ying that he liked white clothes because every time they completed a task, their clothes would be splattered with blood, as if it were a symbol of victory and celebration, so the two went together to buy a set of identical white suits.

  The chill of lying in a coffin, the suit one wears.

  After this, every time there is an assassination mission, no matter who accepts it, they will bring each other along to carry it out...

  They always appear at the agreed location, wearing that one set of identical, spotless white suits... After assassinating their target, a victory mark - bloodstains - would appear on their clothes. Over time, Kage's negative views and emotions towards Shiro disappeared. They became the only duo in the world of assassins, partners.

  Their combination is perfect, and later they named their own combination a very weak and elegant name - Pihuanghua!

  From then on, the name "Higanbana" made everyone who knew it tremble with fear. All members of the assassination organizations, whether new or old, knew that anyone targeted by Higanbana, even those who had seen their true face, would not escape unscathed...

  Ying thus gained a certain amount of respect and fear from his peers. He soon earned the title of S-level killer.

  Leng, originally a top-notch figure in the world of assassins, joined forces with him and together they dominated one side...

  On a leisurely afternoon, Ying and Leng were sitting in their secret meeting place - Leng's home, discussing the night's actions.

  "This mission can be considered the most difficult one since we joined hands, with around 500-600 people attending the banquet. The organization told me that among these people, there are elite assassins from other organizations hiding, and their target is our client for this mission. Moreover, the organization said that from now on, we cannot harm anyone except the target, so we must sneak in and kill the target without being detected... But how easy can it be? According to our current data, he has at least 30-40 bodyguards with special forces background around him..."

  "What's the big deal? In today's world of hitmen, I doubt there's anyone who can rival you and me. Besides, I've never considered bodyguards to be a threat. When did you become so timid? You're being so wishy-washy!" Ying always had an arrogant look on his face, as if he looked down on everyone.

  However, Leng is the exception. Through multiple collaborations, Leng's actions, moves, and reactions have made Shuang look at him with new eyes. Now, apart from Leng, he doesn't acknowledge anyone else. He firmly believes that without him and Leng, no mission can be accomplished!

  "I think I'll go alone tonight!"

  Ying's face suddenly turned stern, and he bellowed, "What did you just say?! Are we still partners or not?! If that's how you feel, then let's disband! I'm not the kind of person who would let you carry out a dangerous mission alone, no matter what!"

  He lowered his head silently and shook it slightly, with a helpless expression on his face. The temperament of the shadow was indeed similar to his own...

  That night's mission was indeed more thrilling than they had imagined. Due to Shadow's relentlessness and arrogance, they almost got caught hiding there.

  Thinking back to this place, Ying stretched out his hand and touched the deep scars left by the knife wounds on his chest, his eyes blurry with tears as he looked at Leng in the coffin.

  If it weren't for Leng, he would have died long ago. Originally, after completing the assassination mission, Leng was supposed to leave the villa with his employer, but instead, he abandoned his employer and risked his life to rush back to the party scene...

  Chilling anxiety searched for the shadow's trail, and finally found itself severely injured on the ground in the safe passage at the end of the corridor leading to the kitchen. Chilling was like a madman, one hand supporting himself, the other hand holding a gun, ready to fight the enemy at any time.

  It doesn't matter if it's cold or unclear what happened to herself, she would rather let the mission fail than leave Ying behind.

  Other killer organizations would not miss such a good opportunity, as everyone in the killer world knows that taking down Pei An Hua will make them the top figure in the killer world! That was the first time he felt heartache... He could only watch as Leng Yu took on eleven elite killers alone, unable to lend a hand.

  Leng was not seriously injured after being stabbed a few times. To avoid affecting the banquet, neither side opened fire. Leng fell to the ground, and someone was approaching him with a sly smile. In a critical moment, Leng - fired his gun. Immediately afterwards, one shot followed another... After a long battle, he finally won.

  The scene was in chaos due to the sudden gunfire. In order to save Sheng as soon as possible, Leng single-handedly killed his way out of a bloody path... Almost no one survived among the more than 500 people at the scene...

  As they were, they couldn't go to the hospital; there was a specialized treatment facility within the organization. But since the mission had failed, going back might... Cold didn't have time for extra consideration, and after hesitating repeatedly, he still pulled Sheng back to the organization's base.
