Future life
Lori wondered what Lu Cheng was asking, whether it was about the identity of the elementary school student she was pretending to be, or whether her identity as a spy was exposed.
As for the former, Lori guessed that Lu Cheng must have mistakenly believed that he was planning to sneak on the boat alone, rather than simply getting lost.
The latter would be very bad because it is impossible for a lost child to carry so much food.
If her true identity is exposed, Lori should consider fighting Lu Cheng to the death.
"You don't need to be so scared. You haven't done anything bad here." Lu Cheng's words made one thing very clear.
Her identity is exposed!
When Lori clenched the dagger in her hand and was about to take a step back and escape from the tent, Lu Cheng slowly picked up the teacup on the table.
"But if you do anything bad, it's a different story. The moment you swing the dagger, a hole will be opened in your head." Lu Cheng took a sip of the green tea in the cup. At this moment, Loli felt something flying past her ear.
Her hair was cut off by some invisible arrow... Lori widened her eyes, looking at the light green hair falling from mid-air and the hole behind the tent.
If that arrow was aimed at Lori's head, she would die instantly.
"Do you think I have any fear of death?"
Now that her identity was exposed, Lori no longer pretended. A disdainful smile appeared on her face. As an assassin, Lori had already prepared herself to face death.
"I know you are not afraid of death, but it's not worth it to die here like this, right?" Lu Cheng put down the teacup in his hand and asked.
"So what would be worth it? Being caught and tortured by you?"
While Lori was talking to Lu Cheng, she was looking for where the invisible arrow came from.
She had been lurking in Skare for so long that she could confirm that the weapon used by this country called Celestial Empire was a pitch-black wooden stick.
But Lori did not collect any other information about the wooden stick. Even from the books distributed at school, she only learned the name of the wooden stick, which is a gun.
But how to use the gun and its power were all unknown to Lori.
Did the invisible arrow just now come from a gun? But where is the person who fired the gun
"I told you that you haven't done anything wrong here. We won't arrest you, let alone torture you. Even if you want to leave now, no one will stop you."
Lu Cheng was lying to her. The crime of espionage alone was enough for Lu Cheng to arrest her and torture her a hundred times.
But there is no need for this. The existence of the Crystal Spirit makes all interrogation meaningless. Lu Cheng might as well let it go back home to collect more intelligence.
Lu Cheng's goal was indeed to release the spy lady back to Far South.
"Then I can only say goodbye forever." Lori's final choice was to escape.
The latest order her master gave her was to kill the emperor of Far South, not to take out Lucheng... There was no need for her to continue taking risks here.
Lori slowly backed away. As long as she left the tent, she could rely on the shadow to escape.
"But you haven't answered my question yet, what is your dream...or is all this worth it?" Lu Cheng's words made Lori stop.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
Loli actually vaguely guessed what Lu Cheng was asking. When Loli received the order from Ms. Wuying to assassinate the Emperor of Far South, she felt hesitant for the first time about carrying out the mission.
The Shadow Society is an organization affiliated with the Far South Royal Family. If Lori's assassination attempt is exposed, there are two possibilities... The first is that she will be thrown out as a scapegoat, and the second worst possibility is that the entire Shadow Society will be completely destroyed.
Lori didn't even consider the possibility of success.
The first possibility is that if this is Loli's fate, then she will accept it, because she was raised by Ms. Mist Shadow and has been loyal to her master since childhood. She has been ready to sacrifice herself, but the second possibility is unacceptable to Loli.
"The new order you received is equivalent to destroying everything in your life, your social status, your interpersonal relationships, and even your life."
Lu Cheng didn't say it directly, but this hint was enough for Lori to understand what he was saying.
"My life is not as lucky as yours. You are not a noble who has everything since birth. People like me can only live like this." Loli seemed to think that Lu Cheng was mocking her, so she spoke to Lu Cheng in a sarcastic tone.
"You may have only had this choice in the past, but now you have another choice." Lu Cheng pointed at the three-bar medal on Lori's shoulder. "Scarey's first national three-good student, this is an incredible honor."
Loli glanced at the epaulettes on her arm. She was stunned for a moment, and then was successfully amused by Lu Cheng.
She was now certain that Lu Cheng was mocking her. As the chief assassin of Far South, she had to survive as an elementary school student
"I don't like listening to your boring jokes." Lori said coldly.
"This is not a joke." The holy crystal on the back of Lu Cheng's hand lit up, and Loli instantly showed her dagger.
She seemed to have mistakenly thought that Lu Cheng had released some magic, but a portal opened up beside Loli. She instantly took a step back and looked at the portal with some uncertainty.
Judging from Loli's performance, she should have seen similar portal magic.
"This portal leads to a city in the Far South Empire, which can save you half a month's journey. Of course, if you don't trust me, you can turn left and take the Nemesis back to Far South." Lu Cheng said this and added what he really wanted to say, "If you end up with nowhere to go in Far South, find a way to contact us. You can always come back here to receive your National Three Good Students Award, monitor Loli."
Loli stopped talking. She couldn't figure out what Lu Cheng was thinking. She glanced at the scenery behind the portal. It was the top of a clock tower. Loli could see the city below the clock tower through the portal.
Black Sword City.
Lori recognized the city as one of the most prosperous cities far south of the border.
"I will never come back, but when I come back, you will regret letting me go." Lori said as she was about to rush into the portal... but Lu Cheng spoke up to stop her.
At this moment, Loli almost threw the dagger in her hand away.
"I just want to tell you...the Coca-Cola in your backpack fell to the ground." Lu Cheng pointed at a can of Coca-Cola that rolled to the ground.
When Lori saw the can of Coca-Cola, her face, which was originally so cold that she almost wanted to kill someone to cheer her up, turned slightly red with embarrassment. She picked up the can of Coca-Cola without saying a word, quickly ran into the portal and disappeared.
