Chapter 27

"Tch, what do you know? This way of assassination of mine is learned from your ancestor, King Hassan. This is the authentic assassination, okay."

Killing everyone who sees me is the most perfect assassination. King Hassan, the master of the "musou-style" infiltration; of course I have to "pay tribute" to him.

However, Lin Ye also feels something is wrong, because:

[The 43rd day: You take Xiaoxiao to search for traces of the Hundred Faces everywhere in the Assassins, but you do not find them.

The 44th day: You take Xiaoxiao to inquire about the current Hassan of the Assassins and discover it is a leader named Hassan of the Fog, whose ability is called Zabaniya, a Hassan who can control Jinn and use fog to turn into lions, giant snakes, or even swords to fight.

The 45th day: You continue to search for traces of the Hundred Faces in the Assassins but still find nothing. At this moment, Xiaoxiao beside you asks what you are looking for. You tell her you are looking for an assassin proficient in various techniques. Xiaoxiao tells you there is no such assassin here, but she has heard that there is such a genius girl inside the church, whose learning ability is particularly strong. You are shocked, then take Xiaoxiao to find this girl.

The 48th day: You find the girl Xiaoxiao mentioned. You discover this is a true genius who began learning advanced assassination techniques at the age of only six, so you decide to teach her, but she shakes her head and claims she can become the 19th Hassan by learning on her own, so she doesn't need you to teach her. You sigh helplessly.

And beside you, Xiaoxiao shouts angrily at her, saying you are the best teacher, and she will prove it to you with actual actions. The 19th Hassan will definitely be her!]

"Xiaoxiao! Well done!"

Worthy of being my disciple; she truly will stand up for herself! That's right, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; what are you, a Hundred Faces, being arrogant about!

[The 49th day: You decide to cultivate Xiaoxiao well, so you begin to teach Xiaoxiao.

The 50th day: You teach Xiaoxiao lance techniques; Xiaoxiao self-studies oil needle techniques.

The 100th day: You teach Xiaoxiao illusion techniques; Xiaoxiao self-studies sacrificial smoke techniques.

The 233rd day: You teach Xiaoxiao methods to exercise Clairvoyance; Xiaoxiao self-studies assassination techniques.

The second year: Xiaoxiao's illusion technique breaks through to E; self-studies horse-riding attacks.

The third year: Xiaoxiao's Mind's Eye breaks through to D; self-studies throwing.

The fourth year: You throw Xiaoxiao into the great forest... Illusion breaks through to D; self-studies...

The fifth year: You throw Xiaoxiao into the great canyon... Mind's Eye breaks through to C; self-studies...

The sixth year: You lock Xiaoxiao in prison; Xiaoxiao kills her way out with one person and one knife... Xiaoxiao's full attributes increase to E.

The seventh year: Xiaoxiao self-studies many more techniques; at the same time, Strength and Agility increase to D.

The eighth year, January: The Assassin Council decides to assassinate the suzerain of the Seljuk Empire, Sanjar! Whoever can kill him can become the 19th Hassan! Xiaoxiao accepts the order!]

Finally, is it coming? Xiaoxiao clenches her fists watching this scene. She has studied for so many years; is she finally going to prove herself?

[The eighth year, February: You learn that Sanjar has fled to Merv, so you infiltrate Merv city. You originally wanted to rely on illusion and assassination techniques to infiltrate, but you discover that Sanjar has many subordinates, and your magic power is insufficient to maintain illusion techniques.

You also discover that Sanjar is recruiting maids on a large scale, so you mix in among them.

The eighth year, March: You successfully become the head maid relying on your many techniques and get the opportunity to approach Sanjar!

The eighth year, March 12th, night: When you serve fruit to Sanjar, you suddenly drop the plate in your hand and take Sanjar's throat with the plate as a knife! Sanjar's captain of the guard reacts, draws his sword, and attacks you, but you don't care about his attack at all. Your goal is only one, and that is the opponent's throat!

Your plate cuts Sanjar's throat; you kill him with one strike. However, the guard's sword is also about to land on you. You understand you cannot dodge, but you face this scene calmly.

However, the moment the sword is about to fall, you discover the opponent's body is frozen in place by an invisible force, and the sword in his hand is twisted into a ball!

You react immediately. At this moment, the other guards also react. They hold swords and hack at you. Just as you are about to be hacked to death, everyone is shocked to discover that you have disappeared from their eyes.

Illusion: B!]

"It's Teacher! Teacher took action!" Xiaoxiao watches this scene happily. Teacher's illusion technique is truly superb; to be able to retreat calmly from a room full of people.

"However, Teacher is still Teacher after all."

[The eighth year, April: You and Lin Ye return to Alamut. As soon as you return to the city, everyone is cheering for you! They shout the name of Hassan-i Sabbah and take you directly to the center of the square!

All the elders come over. Under everyone's gaze, the Great Elder hands you the mask representing Hassan-i Sabbah and announces to everyone! You! Are the 19th Hassan-i Sabbah!

And because you are proficient in various techniques, possess rich knowledge, and have an unpredictable and wonderful spirituality, you are crowned with the name:

Hundred Faces!]

Lin Ye: ⊙ω⊙!

"Damn!!! Xiaoxiao is the Hundred Faces! How could she be... wait, why couldn't she be the Hundred Faces! I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it long ago! No, then what is up with that genius girl!"

Lin Ye immediately looks on.

[And in the crowd, you see that genius girl turn and leave in dismay. You hear people beside you say that this girl also applied to the Council to become the 19th Hassan two days ago, but the elders eliminated her on the grounds that her ability lacked originality, her faith was not firm enough, and her merits were not great enough.]

"Damn! I know who she is! She is the Zealot! No wonder I felt she was even more of a genius than Xiaoxiao! So that's what happened!"

Dark under the lamp! It was truly dark under the lamp! He was used to it; every time he simulated, the target characters were already successful, and he just had to find people by name. He forgot about the nameless people like the Hassans.

"So... Hassan of the Hundred Faces was actually cultivated by me?"

For a moment, Lin Ye falls into a daze again. After a long time, he finally reaches a conclusion!

"I am truly too strong!"

(PS: Everyone, don't use the God's-eye view to substitute the protagonist's perspective. Without the God's-eye view, the protagonist's simulations are all text-based and he can't see faces, so the Zealot and the Hundred Faces are actually easy to confuse.)
