170. Is it worth it?
What is the future of life?
Lori guessed what Lu Cheng was asking, whether it was the identity of the schoolboy she was disguised as her, or if her identity as a spy was revealed.
In the case of the former, Lori guessed that Lu Cheng should mistakenly think that she planned to sneak on the boat alone, rather than simply getting lost.
Because it is impossible for a lost child to carry so much food, the latter is very bad.
If her true identity is revealed, Lori should consider fighting to the death with Lu Cheng.
"You don't need to be so scared, you're not doing anything bad here." This sentence of Lu Cheng has made one thing very clear.
Her identity is revealed!
Lori clenched the dagger in her hand and was about to take a step back to escape the tent, but Lu Cheng slowly picked up the teacup on the table.
"But if you do anything bad, it's a different story, and the moment you swing the dagger, you'll have a hole in your head first." Lu Cheng took a sip of the green tea in his cup, and at this moment, Lori felt something fly past her ears.
Her hair had been cut off by some invisible arrow... Lori's eyes widened as she looked at the light green strands of hair falling from mid-air and the holes in the back of the tent.
If the arrow had been aimed at Lori's head, she would have died instantly.
"Do you think I'll have any fear of death?"
Now that her identity has been revealed, Lori is no longer pretending, and a disdainful smile appears on her face, as the assassin Lori has long been ready to face death.
"I know you're not afraid of death, but it's not worth dying here like this, right?" Lu Cheng put down the teacup in his hand and asked.
"So what's worth it? Did you catch them and torture them? ”
As Lori talks to Lu Cheng, she looks for where the invisible arrow came from.
She had been dormant in Scarre for so long that she could confirm that the weapon used in the country known as the Celestial Empire was a pitch-black wooden stick.
But Lori didn't gather any other information about the stick, and even the books she handed out at school only found the stick's name, which was the gun.
But how to use the gun and how powerful it is is unknown to Lori.
That invisible arrow just now came from a gun? But where is the person who fired the shot?
"As I said, you didn't do anything wrong here, we won't catch you, let alone torture you, even if you want to leave now, no one will stop you."
Lu Cheng was lying to her by saying this, and 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 crystallized spirit makes all torture meaningless, and Lu Cheng might as well release it back to China to collect more information.
Lu Cheng's purpose was indeed to release this spy lady back to the Far South.
"Then I can only say goodbye." Lori's last choice was to run away.
The latest order given to her by her master is to kill the emperor of the Far South, not to take out Lu Cheng... There was no need for her to continue adventuring here.
Lori slowly backed away, relying on the shadows to escape as soon as she left the tent.
"But you haven't answered my question yet, what is your dream... Or is it all worth it? Lu Cheng's words made Lori stop.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
Lori actually vaguely guessed what Lu Cheng was asking, and when Lori received the order to assassinate the Emperor of the Far South from the Lady of Mistage, she was hesitant for the first time because of the mission.
The Shadow Society is an organization attached to the Far South royal family, and if Lori's assassination is exposed, there are two possibilities... The first is that she is being thrown out as a scapegoat, and the second is that the entire Shadow Society will be wiped out completely.
Lori didn't even think about the possibility of success.
The first possibility is that if this is Lori's fate, then she also admits it, because she was raised by Lady Mistshadow, and she has been loyal to her master since she was a child, and she has long been ready to sacrifice, but the second is something that Lori can't accept.
"The new orders you received are equivalent to destroying everything in your life, your social status, your relationships, and even your life."
Lu Cheng didn't say it directly, but this hint was enough for Lori to understand what she was talking about.
"My life is not as lucky as yours, a nobleman who has had everything since birth, and people like me can only live like this." Lori seems to think that Lu Cheng is mocking her, and she says to Lu Cheng in a sarcastic tone.
"In the past, you may have had this choice, but now you have another choice." Lu Cheng pointed to the three-bar medal that Lori wore on her shoulder, "Scarley's first national three good students, this is a great honor." ”
Lori glanced at the epaulettes she was wearing on her arm, and she briefly took a moment to get a moment's attention, and then she was successfully amused by Lu Cheng.
She was now sure that Lu Cheng was making fun of her, and as the chief assassin of the Far South, she had to live as a schoolboy?
"I don't like to hear your boring jokes." Lori said coldly.
"It's not a joke." The Holy Crystal on the back of Lu Cheng's hand lit up, and Lori also instantly flashed her dagger.
She seemed to be mistaken for some magic released by Lu Cheng, but a portal unfolded beside Lori, and she instantly took a step back and looked at the portal with some uncertainty.
Judging by Lori's performance, she should have seen similar portal magic.
"Behind this side of the portal is 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 go out and turn left to take the Nemesis back to the Far South." Lu Cheng said this, and finally attached a sentence that he really wanted to express: "If you are desperate in the Far South, find a way to contact us, and you can come back here at any time to receive your national three-good student award, Lori class president." ”
Lori didn't speak, she couldn't figure out what Lucheng was thinking, she glanced at the view behind the portal, it was above a clock tower, through which Lori could see the city below the clock tower.
Black Sword City.
Lori recognized the city as one of the most prosperous on the Far South border.
"I'll never come back, but when I do, you'll regret letting me go." As Lori speaks, she prepares to rush through the portal... Lu Cheng stopped her with a voice.
At this moment, Lori almost threw the dagger in her hand.
"I just wanted to tell you... The Coca-Cola in your backpack has dropped to the ground. Lu Cheng pointed to a can of Coca-Cola rolling on the ground.
When Lori saw the can of Coca-Cola, her face was so cold that she almost wanted to kill someone to help her fun, but a slight blush appeared, she picked up the can of Coca-Cola without saying a word, and quickly ran into the portal and disappeared.
