Chapter Seventy-One: Night Talk [First Update]
Faced with a red pupil who didn't know whether he was deliberately selling cute, or really cute, and Leonay, who was unreserved and was about to suffocate him with his chest when he hugged him, Lu Ning finally sighed helplessly.
Follow Red Hitomi and Leona through the jungle, and when passing by a small river, Lu Ning jumped into the river and washed his body.
Because most of the clothes on the body are equipment, they all have a special dust-free effect that will not get dirty, and they are changed back after a simple rinse, and the effect is easily hidden.
Soon.
Lu Ning and Leona Red Hitomi came to the location of a base chosen by Najeta, where a temporary camp had been set up.
Najeta's expression was also a little dignified after learning about the encounter with the black pupil and the super dangerous species from Leona, she first asked about Lu Ning's physical condition, and after learning that Lu Ning was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the red pupil.
"Don't say that it's your sister who wants us to show mercy, Red Hitomi, after all, she's from the Empire now, if you can't do it, let me help you." Ma Yin looked at the red pupil and said slowly.
Although it sounds a little ruthless, in fact, Ma Yin is also concerned about Red Hitomi, because the execution of her own sister is too cruel for Red Hitomi, and it is better for her to bear it than that, so that at least it can make Red Hitomi a little better.
Red Hitomi bowed her head slightly and was silent, not responding.
"This incident happened suddenly, and there are also my reasons, otherwise I should have tried to forcibly bring her over, maybe there is also hope that the black pupil will become a combat force on our side."
Lu Ning looked at Ma Yin and the others and said slowly: "So, if I encounter the black pupil in the future battle, I will be responsible for dealing with it." ”
Hearing Lu Ning's words, Ma Yin and the others all looked over.
Najeta looked at Lu Ning, then at the red pupils, and shook her head slightly in her heart.
In fact, she wasn't worried that Red Hitomi would waver, even in the face of her own sister, if it was an enemy, Red Hitomi would definitely be able to swing the sword of killing, but that result was too cruel for Red Hitomi, and even she couldn't bear it.
She was worried about Lu Ning.
Although Lu Ning's battle is as decisive as Chitong's, Lu Ning treats his companions much gently, and this gentleness may make Lu Ning behave irrationally.
But at this time, Najeta couldn't say anything, she couldn't say how to deal with the black pupil in a serious tone, she could only keep the atmosphere silent.
"Oh, oh, don't think about it, it's time for dinner!"
Seeing that the atmosphere in the arena froze, Leona tilted her head, broke the deadlock with a smile, and suddenly hugged Lu Ning from behind and lay on Lu Ning's shoulder.
"Leonay!"
Seeing this, Ma Yin was suddenly a little unhappy.
However, Leonai deliberately hugged Lu Ning and showed a provocative expression at Ma Yin.
"Hmm......"
Ma Yin gritted his teeth angrily, and his two little pink fists were clenched.
The atmosphere that had frozen in the room was instantly dissipated by Leonay, and everyone quickly laughed, gathered around the campfire, sat down, and prepared dinner.
Red Hitomi also regained her calm expression, smiled and had dinner with everyone, still cleaning up most of the barbecue alone.
After eating, Lu Ning stood up, and Ma Yin, who happened to be next to him, also stood up.
Lu Ning turned his head to look at Ma Yin.
"Hmph."
The little girl snorted, turned her head, and swayed her two pink double ponytails, and walked towards her tent, ignoring Lu Ning.
Lu Ning touched his nose, revealing an innocent expression, and glanced at Leonay.
Leona made a grimace at Lu Ning, and after smiling evilly, she also slipped back to her tent at once.
Get.
Go ahead.
Lu Ning shook his head helplessly, found his tent, and walked in.
As night fell, the bonfire outside the tent had been extinguished, leaving only a faint glow that would soon fade with time.
Lu Ning didn't sleep, he just lay there quietly, thinking about things and everything that happened after coming to this world.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Ning heard a slight movement outside, his expression did not change, and he sat up from the bed.
[Sure enough]
Murmuring to himself in his heart, Lu Ning sat for a few minutes, then opened his tent, walked out, and came to the outside of the camp.
Lu Ning, who walked out of the camp, glanced around casually, and soon saw a familiar figure sitting on the trunk of a tree not far away.
Without any hesitation, Lu Ning walked over.
Wearing pink pajamas and shorts, holding Murayu in her right hand, Chi Hitomi sat on the trunk of a tree, looking up at the silent night sky, her expression was full of calm, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking on the surface.
"Can't sleep?"
Lu Ning came to the bottom of the tree, looked up at the red pupil above, jumped slightly, jumped up, and came to the side of the red pupil.
The red pupil looked at Lu Ning, was silent for a few seconds, and hummed softly.
Lu Ning looked up at the sky, thought for a while, and said, "I saw Hei Tong today, and I had close contact with her, your sister's situation...... Something special. ”
“…… Special? ”
Red pupils looked at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning nodded, and said slowly: "I have a lot of lost alchemy, you know, I was fighting with your sister before, and I noticed that her situation was not quite what you thought, she seemed to be ...... There was some kind of deep hypnosis. ”
The fact that I couldn't tell the red pupil before, now is the right time.
"Hypnosis?"
The red pupils were slightly stunned, and a trace of fluctuation flashed in his eyes.
Lu Ning said with a solemn gaze: "That's right, if my intelligence is not wrong, your sister Black Pupil should ...... I grew up in a different place than you. ”
Hearing Lu Ning's words, a lot of thoughts surged in Chitong's heart, but her expression remained calm, and she nodded slightly.
Lu Ning nodded and said, "That's right, it's not the same as you, your sister should have been instilled with ideas like 'Forever Loyal to the Empire' from a very young age, and it was imprinted in the depths of her spirit by means of hypnosis." ”
Lu Ning's words made the red pupils slightly startled.
In fact, as the closest person to Black Hitomi in this world, Black Hitomi's own sister, how could she not notice the abnormality on Black Hitomi.
It's just that she hasn't thought about it all the time, because it is normal for her mentality to change because she has been trained by assassins, and she herself is the same, but now after Lu Ning's reminder, she immediately noticed a lot of problems.
One of them is that Hitomi's level of trust and loyalty to the empire is too high.
Even though the Empire treated assassins like her as scrap once they lost their ability to fight, and even disposed of several of her companions in this way, she still regarded the Empire's orders as inviolable.
This is very strange, because if it was the black pupil before, it should be completely at her disposal no matter what.
