Nusi is an orphan. No one remembers when she was abandoned in the church.
All we know is that she has no parents, no relatives, and grew up alone in an orphanage in a church.
Pastors from all over would regularly come to the church in the north of the Living Cemetery City to preach or hold worship services.
Every time the pastor came, he would bring some books or picture books and leave them in the church here.
This church is almost the only place in the entire city where one can obtain knowledge for free.
Nusi has lived here since she was a child. She was notoriously naughty when she was young. She dug pits, climbed cliffs, and did all kinds of dangerous things.
Nusi is different from other children. She has been very smart since she was young. She always likes to follow various pastors and listen to them tell interesting stories from all over the world.
Therefore, Nusi has known many languages since she was young and has read many picture books and other books.
It’s a pity that she was born in a turbulent country.
The people here are very poor and they don’t have enough food to eat all day long. They often fight with each other for food.
When people fight for food in order to survive, they will not show mercy just because she is a child.
I remember that time, she was so hungry that she had no choice but to catch rats to eat along the sewer because of her thin body.
Rats are such cunning creatures, but Nusi has her own way of dealing with them.
Nusi set traps and ambushes in places where rats often appeared, but failed after several attempts.
She would keep improving her trap equipment until the mice fell into the trap on their own.
She lit a torch and roasted the rats to eat, which allowed the skinny girl to survive.
The story of Nusi catching mice to fill her stomach soon spread, and many children and even adults came and began to learn from her to catch mice and eat them.
But people are not very smart, and catching mice is by no means an easy task.
Seeing Nu Si trying again and again but getting nothing, some hungry adults and children started to have evil thoughts.
They kicked Nusi aside and snatched away the rats that were roasting deliciously in her cage and on the torches.
Some people even stepped on her body and laughed at her mercilessly.
Nusi was extremely angry. She pushed down the people who beat her and climbed up from the ground.
Her face was hideous and murderous, which frightened everyone around her.
Nusi aimed at the pistol on an adult's waist, and before anyone could react, he rushed over and snatched the pistol away.
Before the person could react, she only saw Nusi holding a gun and aiming at the person who had snatched her rat and was eating it with relish.
With a "bang", Nusi shot the man's hand off.
The leader was shot and fell to the ground, howling and cursing.
Some people wanted to resist, but Nusi calmly aimed his gun at anyone who dared to take another step forward.
The other adult was not giving up and wanted to step forward and snatch the gun from her.
Nusi calmly turned the gun slightly, aimed at the man's leg, and knocked him to the ground with a bang.
That year, she picked up a gun and resisted for the first time.
That year, she was only an 8-year-old child.
Those who came to snatch the mice were scared and ran away. Nusi finally realized that if she wanted to survive, she must learn to use the gun in her hand to protect herself.
Later, Nusi grew up gradually. When he was in his teens, he had already developed strong muscles and agile skills.
Nusi is a ruthless person. Not to mention girls, even several boys combined may not be her match.
What's more, she had a gun in her hand.
"At that time, the war in Country E had not yet ended, and more and more people came to the Living Cemetery City to build tombs. Of course, sometimes some noble ladies would also come in and out of this city."
"Normally, noble ladies are accompanied by professional bodyguards, but the Living Cemetery is very large and like a maze, it is difficult for outsiders to understand the terrain here."
"Besides, they are all women, and most bodyguards are men. It would be very inconvenient for them to always follow the ladies around."
"So, later on, Nusi became the personal bodyguard for these noble ladies entering and leaving the city."
"She's a woman who grew up in the Living Cemetery. She's very familiar with everything here. She's also very skilled, and her marksmanship is top-notch."
"So everyone is vying for Nusi and offering her very high prices."
"Although Nusi looks ferocious and like a harem, she uses most of her earnings to repair the church."
"She also spent a lot of money to build a library in the church. Thanks to her, poor children in this huge city now have a place to read and study."
Ren Tingxi and Lan Xiaolan listened to Li Ping and Chen Yian telling the story of Nusi word by word, and they felt a little more admiration for her.
"But why was Nusi so embarrassed when we saw her in the church that day?"
"She was almost forced to sell herself and her body for money." Lan Xiaolan said, her face full of resentment.
Ren Tingxi poured her a glass of water so that she could calm down, and then slowly explained to Lan Xiaolan.
"After the E Country War ended, the Living Cemetery was the first place to be liberated and incorporated into the regular army."
"So even though it can't be compared to our country, as long as there are nobles coming in and out of here, as long as they are willing to spend money, there will be people from the regular army here to protect them."
"No matter how powerful Nusi is, she can't compare to the massive regular army. So, once the war ended, she lost almost all her job opportunities here."
Lan Xiaolan looked at the cup in her hand, thoughtfully.
"She has been a bodyguard and assassin here for so many years, she must have offended many people here."
"Although it's a peaceful time now, there are still people who harbor evil intentions and want to retaliate against her."
The other three people in the room nodded silently.
"But why didn't she run away?"
"Escape? Where to? The living cemetery in Country E is the safest place. Here, at least she has a roof over her head. Although the people here make things difficult for her, at least she can still have something to eat."
"If she really escaped from here alone, she would be very close to death."
Ren Tingxi understood this principle, and Li Ping and Chen Yian also nodded in agreement.
As for Nusi herself, she naturally understood this principle better than anyone else.
Lan Xiaolan tightly gripped the cup in her hand, her eyes lowered, and an indescribable sadness was revealed in her heart.
"I want to go visit Nusi."
