Dimensional Expedition

Chapter 214: 214. A lost traveler

Views:

After Loli agreed to Lu Cheng's cooperation conditions, she spent less than an hour writing a list for Lu Cheng.

The data listed on the list was extremely detailed, including the names of the Shadow Society members, their apparent identities, and even their usual preferences.

Just from looking at this list, Lu Cheng could sense the first-grade student's strong murderous intent towards those traitors.

"Give me another week and I can put together a more detailed report." Lori stopped writing and moved her wrist.

"Are you tired of writing?" Lu Cheng put down the notebook in his hand and asked.

"I was trained to be an assassin, not a clerk, and..." Lori took out her backpack and put books with titles such as "One Lesson One Exercise" and "After-class Exercises" on the table. "I missed half a month of classes, and I have to make up all the homework I missed during this period. If you are willing to help, I can come up with a detailed list earlier."

"This is really a good student." Lu Cheng closed the notebook in his hand and put it back on the table. "Put the list of Shadow Society members aside for now. What I want to know most is how to identify shapeshifters."

This is the real purpose of Lu Cheng coming to find Loli. Lu Cheng once consulted Master Winnie and Bayer Walker about the existence of shapeshifters.

However, these two masters from the Secret Society both stated that the existence of the Shapeshifter is a unique secret of the Shadow Cult, and it would be very difficult for other spellcasters to crack it.

This means that this group of assassins from the Far South can disguise themselves as anyone, and the Celestial Empire has no way to detect them. Unless they become a member of the Skare, Lucheng can recognize them using the mind-reading ability of the Crystal Spirit.

This is a huge threat to the safety of Chinese people!

"You must complete my second commission first before I can tell you how to identify us."

Lori was very determined about this. The shapeshifter's ability to change into other people's appearances was Lori's livelihood. This was also her only trump card, which made her realize that she was not an elementary school student, but the chief assassin of the Far South.

If Lu Cheng knew all of her cards, she would have no ability to resist him.

"My preferred way of doing business is payment first and delivery later, and Miss Lori... you owe us a lot."

Lu Cheng played the role of a bad guy at this moment, which is why Lu Cheng put aside his personal identity to talk to Loli.

The method of identifying shapeshifters is something that Lucheng or the Celestial Empire must know, because the existence of shapeshifters poses too great a threat to the Celestial Empire.

For this reason, Lucheng even captured the two half-elf shapeshifters and tortured them, but their level was too low, so low that even Master Winnie shook his head and said, "Let these two little thieves go."

If Lori is unwilling to speak, Lu Cheng will have to take extraordinary measures.

"Listen to me first, your name is Lu Cheng, right?"

Lori's second commission was to hope that Lu Cheng could help her rescue a few people. Lu Cheng's tough attitude made Lori very afraid that Lori would go back on her word.

"That's right, what's wrong?" Lu Cheng didn't understand why she suddenly asked this.

"Your name is your surname first, the road is your surname, and the city is your name. Am I right?" Lori asked a strange question.

"You don't mean to say your last name is Luo?"

Lu Cheng quickly understood what Lori was testing.

"I don't have a surname or a given name. The name Loli means withering in the common language... but I know that there are people in the far south who use your characters as their surnames." Loli said.

"What word?"

"Mei." Lori wrote down this Chinese character in her notebook. "I always thought that the same pronunciation was just a coincidence, but Mei... this is how it should be pronounced in your language. I have seen their tribe leader, who has the same black hair and black eyes as you."

"After opening a new branch line, does this mean that the NPC has finally started issuing follow-up tasks?"

Lu Cheng didn't think Lori was lying. The existence of Baierwok reminded Lu Cheng of one thing, that is, was Baierwok the only Chinese person who came to this world seventy-five years ago

Even Baierwok himself could not be sure of this. Considering that many cultures of this world were similar to those of Earth, Lucheng could be sure that humans from Earth had visited this world not only seventy-five years ago, but even earlier.

It’s just that science had not yet developed to its current level at that time, so they didn’t leave behind much.

"Side quest?" Lori didn't understand what Lu Cheng was talking about.

"Don't worry about it. Tell me in detail what kind of existence the family with the surname Mei is."

Lucheng and the Celestial Empire are both paying close attention to the incident at Baierwok. If there were other people who came to this world seventy-five years ago, whether they were time travelers or their descendants... Lucheng feels that the Celestial Empire's leaders will find a way to rescue them.

"Where should I start?" Lori asked.

"The first part is about the legends of this family. The more detailed it is, the faster we can complete your commission." Lu Cheng said.

Lori began to narrate the family's past based on her own memories.

The Mei family is not a noble family in the Far South Empire, but a clerk employed by the former king of Far South.

From Lori's description, the patriarch of the Mei family did not have any magical talent, but was appreciated by the former king of the Far South with his literary talent and some skills.

To Lu Cheng, this sounded like a standard time-travel plot. If this Mei's predecessor also knew about things like gunpowder, the alien world where Lu Cheng was located might have looked completely different.

Unfortunately, if the patriarch of the Mei family is really from the Celestial Empire, he is probably from the same generation as Bayerwock, that is, the group that came to this world seventy-five years ago.

"I am an orphan adopted by this family. When I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I was sent to study with Lady Shadow Mist."

Lori told Lu Cheng some of her past that had been buried for a long time. Ms. Shadow Mist had already passed away, so this information was not very useful.

"Then?"

"There were two other people following Ms. Shadow Mist with me. They were a pair of siblings named Meyer and Meris. They did not pass Ms. Shadow Mist's shadow test, so they were just peripheral members of the Shadow Society, responsible for assisting the Shadow Society in sorting out some information." Lori said as she recalled, "They have nothing to do with the Blood Crystal Beasts. They are all innocent... But I know that the Shadow Society needs a lot of living sacrifices to cultivate Blood Crystal Beasts, so..."

"Where does this family live? I will arrange people to take them out of the Far South, but if their ancestors are really members of our country..." A smile that made Loli a little uncomfortable appeared on Lu Cheng's face again, but Lu Cheng's words made Loli feel very relieved.

"Even if the entire Far South is blown up, we will ensure their safety."
