Chapter 079: Origin

When Lin Yi came over before, he saw a family inn by the roadside. However, it didn't look too good, so Lin Yi didn't go there, planning to look around for a better environment.

But now, with the situation urgent, Lin Yi didn't have time to look for other inns; having one was already good enough.

"Give me a room!" Lin Yi rushed into the inn with the girl on his back and said to the innkeeper sitting at the counter.

The innkeeper was idly watching TV when she suddenly saw a young man carrying a woman in black rush in and immediately ask for a room. A suggestive smile appeared on her face.

Her family inn was actually of very low grade, set up mainly for young couples who couldn't afford fancy places. These couples generally didn't care about the quality of the place; they just needed it to be quiet and clean.

The innkeeper had seen many young couples come to rent rooms, but it was rare to see someone as anxious as Lin Yi, who carried a woman in and immediately asked for a room.

"An hourly room is fifteen yuan per hour, and a daily stay is sixty yuan," the innkeeper said to Lin Yi.

"Oh, then I'll pay a hundred yuan as a deposit first," Lin Yi took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the innkeeper.

"Wait, show me your ID for registration!" The innkeeper didn't let her guard down just because of the money.

Lin Yi frowned, unsure if the girl on his back could make it, but he had no choice. Registering for a stay was reasonable, so he took out his ID and handed it to the innkeeper for registration.

"Does she need to be registered too?" Lin Yi asked. Naturally, he was referring to the girl on his back, and he believed the innkeeper would understand.

"No need, registering one person is enough," the innkeeper said, following the regulations. After scanning Lin Yi's ID, she took out a room card: "Upstairs, Room 209. Go up by yourself."

"Thank you." Lin Yi took the room card and quickly went upstairs with the girl on his back. On the way, the girl remained motionless on Lin Yi's shoulder. If it weren't for the softness of her chest, which allowed him to feel her heartbeat, Lin Yi would have suspected she was already dead.

"Phew!" Lin Yi threw the girl onto the bed, carefully closed the door, and drew the curtains. He then thoroughly checked every corner of the room to ensure there were no hidden cameras or other devices before he felt at ease.

To be honest, if Lin Yi hadn't suddenly noticed the ring on the girl's right little finger, he wouldn't have gotten involved in this matter at all. It would have been trouble for nothing!

The pattern on the girl's ring represented an organization, a very famous international assassin group. Although Lin Yi wasn't part of this organization, its founder had a significant connection to him.

The master who taught Lin Yi assassination techniques was one of the founders of this organization. Although Old Lin was skilled, he specialized in solid, practical combat techniques suitable for direct confrontation.

However, in actual missions, direct confrontation was rare; assassination and ambush were the keys to success. When Lin Yi was six years old, Old Lin sent him to his master for two years of intensive training. The master taught him all the assassination and ambush techniques of a killer.

Although Lin Yi didn't know his master's exact identity, and Old Lin never mentioned it directly, Lin Yi could sense that his master was a truly formidable person.

It had been many years since he last saw his master... Over the years, Lin Yi had always missed this master, who was his true mentor.

Although Old Lin had also taught Lin Yi many things, their relationship was more like that of a grandfather and grandson, not a master and disciple. Old Lin had never intended to be Lin Yi's master.

Lin Yi had only learned about thirty percent of his master's techniques, yet he had already gained an advantage in multiple missions. One could imagine how powerful his master must have been! However, at such a young age, even with dedication, he could only grasp about thirty percent of what he learned!

It was because Lin Yi remembered his master's kindness that when he saw the symbol of the organization his master founded on the girl's ring, he changed his mind and decided to help her.

Although his master no longer managed the organization's affairs, the girl was still considered one of their own.

"I'll help you once, but whether you can survive depends on your fate." Lin Yi laid the girl flat on the bed, and her fisherman's hat slipped to the side.

Her black short hair spread out, and through the scattered strands, a slightly pale but delicate face became visible. Her features were very refined, with long eyelashes and tightly furrowed eyebrows, indicating that she must have been in great pain even while unconscious.

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, not expecting such a beautiful face under the fisherman's hat. This was a surprise to him. Such a pretty girl as a killer?

Judging by her age, she should be around his age, in her late teens. Lin Yi shook his head; it was her choice, and he had no right to interfere.

From his previous observations, the girl's injuries seemed to be in her lower body. However, she was wearing a leather pants that didn't show blood, making it impossible to determine the exact location of the injury from the outside.

Lin Yi didn't bother to look for it and simply used his strength to take off her leather pants. After removing them, he felt a bit uncomfortable, and his breathing became rapid.

Although Lin Yi's initial intention was pure, he was just helping the nearly dead female assassin out of respect for his master. If the female assassin looked like a male assassin, Lin Yi wouldn't have had any special thoughts. But this female assassin was very beautiful and had a great figure, so it was natural for Lin Yi to have some inappropriate thoughts, as any normal man would!

However, what he saw next completely extinguished any desire in his heart.

The inside of the leather pants was completely soaked in blood, and the tights she wore underneath were drenched in blood, making it impossible to see their original color!

Damn! Lin Yi took a deep breath. In such a state, she could still walk? Could still go to the pharmacy? Instead of finding a place to rest, she should have gone to the hospital! Did she really think that the herbal medicine from that so-called Doctor Kang could stop the bleeding so quickly?
