Chapter 59 - Assassin

We agreed to meet at a specific corridor in game lobby building, somewhere we can be alone.

Silencer suggested that, he probably thought my message "Don't say a word" means someone was listening, but actually, it's himself that's the problem.

Therefore, we approached silencer while holding up the whiteboard, still with the message "Don't say a word".

"Mm mm?" Bullet hummed while zipping his mouth with his fingers.

"Mm." You did not have to hum back, uncle.

I erased the message of "Don't say a word" and replaced it with "I need a favour, then I'll tell you the secrets of this game."

Silencer looked frustrated at that message, he snatched the whiteboard and marker from me in frightening speed, I couldn't even react.

"Hey!" My uncle exclaimed in disapproval to silencer's action, but I gestured him to calm down afterwards.

"How can I trust you?" Silencer wrote.

"Hmm?" My uncle hummed confusedly when I made a scissors sign with my hand.

"Ahh." My uncle realises after I start snipping my finger scissors and pointing at his pockets.

Uncle hesitated, he snatched the whiteboard and marker back from silencer and wrote to me, "We're not giving him the scissors are we?"

"Mmhmm." I responded.

Uncle shot me with an uncertain look, and I shot him back with the you-said-you-were-gonna-trust-me face.

Silencer grew impatient, he snatched back the whiteboard which annoyed my uncle, he glared at silencer but silencer didn't notice.

"Is this just a waste of time?" He wrote, and I hurriedly denied by waving my hands and shaking my head.

"Hmm mm hmm mm mmm." I hummed at my uncle aggresively telling him to just give the scissors.

Reluctantly, my uncle eventually handed out the scissors to silencer.

"Is this the weapon of the recent murder case?" Silencer wrote after inspecting the pair of scissors.

"Hmm mm!" Bullet hummed at silencer and took the scissors to check it out himself, he was fascinated by how he actually felt needling pain when pressing the blade against his palm.

In fact, he was so fascinated, he went too far and cut himself.

"HMMM HMMM HMM!!!" He hummed in pain.

I ignored that, and nodded to silencer to answer his question.

"Why can't we speak?" Silencer wrote and delivered the whiteboard back to me.

"They're listening."

"Who is?"

"I need a favour, then I'll tell you the whole secret of the game."

Looking at that sentence on the whiteboard, silencer frowned and sighed in exasperation.

I erased the message, then wrote down the details of the favour to silencer.

"Save the killer and the owner of that scissors for us."

He wasn't expecting that, he widened his eyes for a second before returning to his neutral resting threatening face.

"I can give you the location, you just need to fight the guards keeping him." I added on the whiteboard.

"Hm." Silencer hummed to his team who were all having fun inspecting the pair of scissors. Hearing silencer's strict hum, magazine handed the scissors back.

Silencer twisted the pair of scissors in his hands for a while, as if contemplating whether or not I'm telling the truth.

After a second of thought, he nodded.

"The guards are Living Cemetery and GPS."

"We got it! Leave it to us." Bullet shouted, he seems to have forgotten that we're not supposed to say a word, but I guess what he said wasn't suspicious.

"Mm!" My uncle hummed aggresively while gesturing bullet to zip his mouth, of which bullet responded by clasping his palms to apologise.

"I'll do it alone." Silencer wrote on the whiteboard and shown it to his team.

Aside from bullet, the rest of the team seems to be fine with silencer's suggestion. Bullet looked shocked and worried, he took the whiteboard and wrote to silencer, "We can help, are you sure?"

"It's my fight, I can do it." Silencer writes back.

Trigger grabbed bullet's shoulders and nodded to him, telling him to let silencer do it himself.

"Good luck." Bullet mouthed the words.

"Thank you all of you for sticking with me this whole time, we will get out of here next tournament." Silencer writes one last message to them before they leave.

His team smiled and gave silencer a peace sign in unisok before they leave.

I don't want to doubt their decision, but leaving just one guy against an army is...questionable.

"You can handle it?" I took the whiteboard and wrote to silencer.

"Just tell me where to meet after the favour."

"We'll be watching you on the roof of the building across the location."

"Where's the location?"

He wrote that and delivered the whiteboard back to me. I didn't write the location down, I just gestured him as well as my team to follow me, only I know where the bar is after all.

My uncle was uncertain of this, he snatched the whiteboard from me and wrote to silencer, "Only you? Are you sure?"

Silencer nodded and shot ny uncle with a threatening glare, a glare fierce enough to even make my uncle turn his back.
