Loli spent the day without any danger. She was very glad that her appearance as a half-elf elementary school student was not known to the emperor of the Far South.
The two common language classes in the morning were the ones that Lori listened to most attentively since she started school.
After school, she returned to her home with her schoolbag on her back. Before she pushed the door open... she immediately pulled out the dagger she was carrying.
"Don't be on your guard. I'm not going to eat you."
A voice that was very familiar to Lori came from the room, Lu Cheng's voice.
Lori hesitated at this moment. She did want to cooperate with Lu Cheng, but what capital did she have to cooperate
The experience of the Shadow Society made Lori realize that people without capital in this world will be eaten.
But Lori still pushed open the door of the room, because Lu Cheng knew her true identity. As long as Lu Cheng was there, it would be impossible for her to be an ordinary elementary school class monitor and go to get out of class every day.
Lori walked into the room and saw Lu Cheng sitting inside. Her first words were...
"Can I call the police?" Lori asked.
"Generally speaking, you can." Lu Cheng said.
If Lori was really a twelve-year-old elementary school student and she pushed the door open and saw a strange man sitting in her house, it would be the right choice to call 110 immediately.
"But I'm here on the census, and Miss Lori, if you really intend to be a first-grader at Scare National Elementary School, I'll leave now."
When Lu Cheng initially left a way out for the assassin lady, he was not so sure that she could use it. It was purely a matter of fate... If she wanted to come back, she would come back, and if she didn't want to come back, it would have no impact on Lu Cheng.
But she successfully assassinated the emperor of Far South. Logically, she should have been promoted in her own organization, but she chose to defect from Far South and came to Skare to be a primary school student.
This made Lu Cheng smell the scent of big news.
"Will you help me?"
Lori put down her schoolbag against the wall. Her schoolbag was quite heavy and affected Lori's movements.
"That depends on what you want me to do... or what help we can do?" Lu Cheng spread out his hands with a smile on his face that Lori didn't like very much.
"..." Lori pursed her lips slightly, but still stated her request, "I want you to help me kill a group of people."
"Well, if I remember correctly, Miss Lori, your profession is a killer, right? I'm just a census worker." Lu Cheng said innocently.
"If I could kill those guys, I wouldn't be here." Lori's expression also showed sarcasm. "And I can feel that you are not the kind of person who is afraid of taking people's lives. You are as good at it as I am."
"Let me reiterate that we are the people's soldiers. The weapons in our hands are to protect our country, not to kill innocent people." Lu Cheng's voice became serious.
"Do you dare to say that there are no innocent lives under your command?" Lori responded to Lu Cheng's words with a little disdain.
"No." Lu Cheng answered firmly, with a clear conscience. "Those who died at my hands included drug dealers, extremists, invaders, and all of them deserved to die."
Loli stopped arguing with Lu Cheng. The silent atmosphere filled the room until Lu Cheng spoke again to break it.
"I didn't come to you to lecture you on these big principles. Today I'm coming to you as a personal person." Lu Cheng showed his hands and shoulders. There were no badges to indicate his identity.
"Let me tell you my guess. The reason you came back is that you were betrayed in your organization. It's nothing that you were betrayed. The problem is that you have the ability to replace your appearance with someone else's. So the current Far South is likely to be ruled by a fake Emperor Persifu."
Lu Cheng learned about the abilities of the shapeshifters from the two shapeshifters who were disguised as half-elves. Considering that Lori had abandoned her bright future in the Far South and returned to Skare... Lu Cheng speculated that the situation in the Far South might be more troublesome than he had imagined.
"You want to get information from me?" Loli had guessed early on why Lu Cheng came to her, and this was also the only bargaining chip for Loli to deal with Lu Cheng.
"That's right, I need a list of your organization's members, a method to identify shapeshifters, and some other information about your organization," Lu Cheng said.
"What are you going to do with this information? Kill them all?"
Lori was really murderous. She didn't go back to Yuannan just for the sake of the can of Coca-Cola. She wanted to kill all those who betrayed her, but she might die halfway through the killing.
"Ms. Loli, let me put it this way. Our only enemies in this world are the blood crystal beasts and those who try to use their power. Your organization is likely related to the blood crystal beasts. If the blood crystal beasts eat the core of the Far South Empire's earth veins, it will be a big trouble for us."
Lucheng's current treatment of the Loli organization is actually the same as those extremist organizations. The best option is to eradicate them completely as soon as possible without leaving any alive.
"Aren't they all going to be killed?" Lori quickly understood the meaning of Lu Cheng's words.
"It has to be killed, but there are still some procedures to follow," Lu Cheng said.
"I can tell you this, but wouldn't you know more clearly if you ask the emperor in the far south?"
Loli is now in a desperate situation. She can only choose to surrender to the Celestial Empire for a chance of revenge. But she doesn't understand why the most powerful man in the Far South Empire is now a teacher in Scarre, and Lu Cheng doesn't ask him but comes to find her, a little assassin.
"Your emperor in the far south is now under house arrest by us, but he himself does not know this. He is working as a people's teacher named Pest in Scarre." Lu Cheng told Lori all this.
This was information that Lori had known for a long time.
"House arrest? What's the point?" Lori personally believed that if the emperor of an enemy country was captured, he would be taken hostage first and then exchanged for certain benefits.
Lori was completely confused by Lu Cheng's decision to send the emperor from the far south to be a people's teacher.
"In the past, there was an assassin lady who pretended to be a first-grade elementary school student in this city. She firmly believed that she was the best assassin in the Far South. But now, it seems that this assassin lady can only make a living by being an elementary school student in Skare?"
Lu Cheng's words made Lori's face blush, which was rare. She gritted her teeth and calmed herself down.
"I... this is just to escape the pursuit! As long as the shadow of the far south is destroyed..."
"You're going to leave...?" Lu Cheng's voice made Loli's words choke in her throat.
There has always been a question in her mind, that is, if the Shadow Society is destroyed, what will she have left? She has been an assassin of the Shadow Society since she was born, and now that she has betrayed the Shadow Society, her life seems to have no value.
The most critical issue is that Ms. Shadowmist has passed away, and all the contributions she made to the Shadow Society have completely disappeared.
"Stop thinking about these philosophical questions. As long as you are willing to provide us with information, we can guarantee your safety and let you live a stable life here until you graduate from college. I can also guarantee you free snacks throughout the year." Lu Cheng threw out a fragrant olive branch.
"Really?" Lori was a little bit unconvinced by Lu Cheng's generous conditions.
"Do you mean snacks for the whole year, or something else?" Lu Cheng deliberately did not mention the more important condition he had proposed before.
"all!"
Lori was a little annoyed by Lu Cheng's teasing, but she really needed a stable place to live now.
"Of course it's all true. When have I ever lied to you?"
What Lu Cheng said now was the truth, but Lori and Lu Cheng had only communicated twice.
"I will tell you the list of Shadow Society members, the Shadow Society's bases and the characteristics of the shapeshifters, but I have another request." Lori said, "Not everyone in the Shadow Society is a traitor."
"Is there anyone you want to save? Interesting... We will consider this, provided that the information you share is helpful to us." Lu Cheng said.
