Victoria wakes up to find herself in a wooden house. The sun shone on her face, and she realized that she had been unconscious all night. But instead of lying on the cold floor, she sank into the soft, warm bed.

The ceiling overhead looked old, and the wallpaper on the walls of the room was yellowed. But a vase of dried flowers on the windowsill told her that this was not an abandoned temporary home—there was no dust on the bouquet of flowers, and there was even a faint scent of air freshener in the room.

She tried to turn her head, but a stabbing pain came from her neck that made her blink.

With this sting, the floodgates of memory suddenly opened. It only took her a second to remember what had happened last night...... That bastard!

Then she quickly touched herself.

It's just that the coat is gone, and the close-fitting clothes are still neat, and they have become a little hot because of sleep.

Victoria let out a sigh of relief—I don't know if she was "relieved" or "sighed."

She got up from the bed and saw a pair of slippers next to the bed. The light plastic slippers, pale yellow, seem to be specially prepared for girls. So she was relieved a little more - either way, the thoughtful preparation and slightly warm environment meant that she didn't fall into any sinister place. She thought for a moment, put on her slippers and walked to the door.

But she only took two steps before the door was pushed open.

A stunningly beautiful girl walked in. Her makeup is a little weird, but there is something amazing about this "weirdness" - the surprise mainly comes from the two silver butterflies next to her eyes. Her long hair was tied back at the back of her head, revealing a white face and a slender snow-white neck. Below the neck is an equally slender body. And this body is wrapped in a black tight-fitting combat suit.

The girl who walked in from the outside stared at Victoria without shying away from it, her steps as light as a cat, as if she was full of strength. But there was a faint smile on her face throughout—you can't tell if it was mockery or sympathy.

She walked to a wooden table in the room and stopped, jumped lightly and sat down, folded her legs, pinched her chin with one hand, and nodded slightly: "You look prettier this way." ”

Victoria took a step back vigilantly and frowned, "Who are you?" Where is this? What about Li Haofan? ”

The girl opposite seemed to hear something funny, put down her hand on the table, leaned forward, and made an interested look: "Who are you Li Haofan?" ”

Victoria felt a sense of hostility - but she couldn't say it, and thought it was her own delusion. She turned her face puzzled. Rhetorical question: "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Li Haofan's girlfriend." Said the girl opposite. "My name is Yu Qingqing."

Victoria was stunned for a long time before blinking, unable to tell what she was feeling. She pursed her lips, feeling like a child who had been caught stealing some candy. However, there was a sudden sourness in my heart......

She's so pretty...... She thought. But he never said it!

A feeling of self-pity came over me. Victoria's face suddenly turned red.

“…… I don't know what to do. She said. But then I realized that it was too stupid to say this, and I wanted to cover it up - what did Li Haofan say about himself?

"A kid who has a crush on me"? Or is it a "little girl picked up on the side of the road"?

Victoria looked up at Yu Qingqing and wanted to say something more. But suddenly I was stunned. She looked at the other person's face, remembered the other person's name, and then raised her hand and exclaimed, "You are ...... How can it be? ”

Isn't that "that" Yu Qingqing? Yu Qingqing, who briefly appeared next to the emperor in a certain New Year's TV speech, and then was remembered and talked about by many people? She is - the Emperor's sister!!

She's the girl her adoptive parents saved!!

Rong Shu and Ye Zhilu didn't tell her anything else—they had made some sacrifices for Yu Qingqing. Because these things mean nothing to Victoria, and they will cause her to have a certain mood that is not very good.

So Yu Qingqing is simply a stranger to her. Not only a stranger, but also a stranger with a special status and high up, Victoria would never have imagined that she would cross paths.

Yu Qingqing shrugged, jumped down from the table, and said, "What's so strange about this. Li Haofan is—"

But Victoria interrupted her. Yu Qingqing found that the awkward and embarrassed look on the other party's face disappeared all of a sudden, but became extremely anxious and anxious-

"You take me to the emperor!" Victoria pounced and grabbed Yu Qingqing's hand, which nearly snapped her wrist.

"Take me to your brother! Someone is going to assassinate him! Victoria grabbed her hand and pulled her out - even though she didn't know where to go, she had to act as soon as possible, or else......

She hurried two steps and then suddenly slowed down, turned her face, and felt that the expression of "surprise" in her life was going to be used up today—the ...... Not quite right.

"You ......" she let go of Yu Qingqing's hand and said in shock, "Do you know about this?" You're going to watch your brother die? ”

Yu Qingqing finally couldn't help laughing.

"You really don't know the way?" She said teasingly, blinking at the same time, as if sharing a small secret with her companions, "Li Haofan—is that the emperor you are talking about?" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Thirty-eighth minute countdown.

Victoria had insomnia - she hadn't recovered from her shock all day, and felt as if she had had a long, long dream.

She couldn't believe that she had actually spent nearly a month with the "Majesty" in the base - even though the other party had only acted like a kind and slightly cold brother.

She remembered the first time she had met—the things she had told him she had to say to the Emperor...... Doesn't he know everything?

But now she can't figure out who Li Haofan, or Li Zhen, is. On the night of the first meeting, the two of them sat on the roof of the building and blew the sea breeze, were the words he said to himself true? Or is it just to gain your trust and infiltrate the organization?

He acted so well that he tricked everyone into it...... So is he going to kill them all? But why did you let yourself and Sister Yan go?

She had already seen Yan Weizi during the day. So she knew something that seemed incredible to her - this house belonged to Yu Qingqing. Li Zhen placed the two of them here, and even sent a few people to take care of their safety.

As for Yu Qingqing...... She said that she only recently learned about it, but she found it very exciting!

Victoria couldn't understand Yu Qingqing's thoughts a little. She couldn't understand why Yu Qingqing, who was "pampered and pampered", would have such thoughts. The clarity in her mind is still on the little girl who was "saved", even if she sees her now, she always feels that this is a young girl who doesn't know the world and is well protected.

It's just me who doesn't know anything. Victoria thought sadly. She felt that no one took her to heart, and they only treated her as a simple child.

She couldn't help but sit up on the bed and look out the window with her knees crossed. Outside the window there used to be a pasture, but now it's deserted. However, it does not look like the grass grows wildly and decays, but presents the beautiful scenery that nature should have. She certainly doesn't see that this "natural beauty" is actually the result of the most elaborate artificial design.

The moonlight shone on the grassland, and there was a hazy black shadow among the trees. She tried to find out where the people sent to protect them were, but it was doomed to be in vain. She felt a little missing her adoptive parents. For two years, she rarely went home to visit them, feeling that although they were not very old, they had the twilight of old people.

And they rarely deliberately told her about the past, she only thought that they had experienced some twists and turns in the previous troubled times, and at the same time had the ability to occasionally intersect with Li Zhen.

They were afraid of this world, of the exciting life, and just wanted to be honest people - Victoria thought so at the time.

This thought made her even more sad, and she was even a little unsure of what she should do in the future—if the base was destroyed, should she still go home?

Victoria sighed, and noticed a dark shadow flashing in the woods in the meadow in the distance. She felt that it was the person who was sent by Li Zhen to protect them.

However, this thought did not last long. As Victoria tried to fall asleep in bed again, she saw a fire flickering in the woods.

At first she thought someone might be lighting a cigarette with a lighter. But then the fire flickered twice—and she saw it clearly. That's not a "fire", it's ...... Gun Flame!

In the fleeting light she saw the gunman—the man who looked up at her, and then quickly disappeared into the jungle.

The expression on that face was anything but friendly. It was a cold, dangerous sense, like a wolf locking onto its prey.

Victoria's eyes widened suddenly, but she didn't have time to react. She was a member of the "Order" in the past, but she was a peripheral member. This means that a certain aunt selling vegetables on the street may be her "comrade", and her comrade is actually a "vegetable seller"—they are not professionals, but more courageous civilians who oppose tyranny. In the face of such an emergency, how far can you ask a civilian to go?

So in the few seconds she was stunned, the few agents in the forest who were originally responsible for guarding them had already been killed. Even the agents themselves didn't expect a surprise attack, because their presence was only symbolic - who would have thought that anyone would find such a remote and hidden place?
