At this point, both Julian and Charlie turned pale, as if they had thought of something bad. Their lips trembled slightly, and their voices were so low that they almost doubted whether the other was talking to them.
"She...is she really a player?" A strange light flashed in Mingmei's eyes when she heard this.
“Yes, it was she who reminded us to come find you.” As they spoke, their voices were filled with fear of recalling that scene.
"Although the tyrant believed we were merely being used by the assassins, he didn't intend to release us directly. He said he wanted to make an example of us, so he beat the assassins to death right in front of us..."
This is far more agonizing for them than a single fatal blow!
In the interstellar era, weapons of war are mostly highly lethal and have a wide attack range. Once they are used, they are basically deadly with one strike. The scene of killing people bit by bit has left a deep shadow on them.

Hey, what's with that expression?"
After talking for a while, Charlie suddenly noticed that Julian was staring at him with a deadpan expression.
"How long have you been cooped up at school? You react like this just because you see an NPC? Aren't you ashamed! You're not one of those people from the Empire..."
"Get lost, you bastard! Stop using those young ladies and gentlemen of the Empire to insult me... You're the one who's got the wrong idea, okay?"
Amidst their laughter and banter, the two were completely unaware that two pairs of eyes were watching them from behind a haystack outside the tent…
