Gu Xun had a nightmare.
She dreamed of something that happened a long time ago, when she was only thirteen years old...
Gu Xun was not so lucky in her previous life. Her parents abandoned her when she was born. Growing up in an orphanage, she was withdrawn and quiet.
One day, a man came to the orphanage and fell in love with Gu Xun at first sight.
Later the man told her that he was attracted by the despair and anger in her eyes.
Later, the man continued to train her, taught her how to kill, and taught her knowledge, and Gu Xun did not disappoint him. Her extraordinary IQ and physical fitness made Gu Xun far ahead among a group of children of the same age.
Finally, when she was ten years old, the man introduced her to the royal family.
Her outstanding performance soon attracted the attention of the president, and at the age of twelve, she was sent to complete an important mission with another seventeen-year-old boy.
The two of them had to infiltrate an organization, obtain intelligence and find an opportunity to assassinate the leader there, and then send a signal to them, and the royal family would send people to completely wipe out the organization.
The boy who completed the task with Gu Xun was called Jie Yan. He was tall and thin, with neat short hair. He wore a khaki camouflage suit, and his not-so-big eyes were full of seriousness.
His skin was dark, and he looked like he had been exposed to the wind and sun for many years.
After the two understood the mission and memorized their fake identities, they were arranged to get to know each other.
Gu Xun didn't talk much, and neither did Jie Yan. Apart from some basic confessions, the two of them didn't say anything else.
The mission begins.
The two pretended to be down-and-out siblings and encountered human traffickers. They struggled to escape and then came to the organization's door to ask for help.
The sentry saw someone approaching from afar and was about to shoot, but he saw that they were two children. Both of them were injured and looked dying.
The man thought of his son and did not shoot because he felt sorry for him.
He approached the two cautiously and talked to them.
After learning about their situation, he felt compassion.
"I can't just let you in, but I can go in and report. Wait."
Gu Xun and Jie Yan exchanged a subtle glance, knowing that something was going to happen.
Sure enough, they successfully joined the organization because the organization had already confirmed that they would not refuse any young men who were willing to join.
Naturally, they investigated the identities of Jie Yan and the other two, but found nothing unusual, so the two of them successfully sneaked in.
After entering, the two found that this organization was much larger than they had expected.
Jie Yan was assigned to the army for training, while his sister Gu Xun was arranged to live in a single apartment as a family member.
The apartment has one bedroom and one living room, and is fully equipped with basic living necessities. There are other people living around, all of whom are men in their families who are in the army. It is equivalent to a family compound.
Gu Xun was very surprised that a "bad" organization would treat its subordinates so well.
As a teenager, Gu Xun only saw two extremes: good and bad.
Before they came, the royal family told them that this organization was a cancer and that the people within it were evil people who had to be eradicated...
Gu Xun shook his head, not doubting the royal family's words.
She watched all this coldly and carefully checked everything in the room, but did not find any problems.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
Gu Xun was like a frightened bird. He immediately took out a dagger with murderous intent in his eyes.
But after opening the door, the enemy was not what she had imagined.
They are two kids from the apartment next door.
They heard that there were new neighbors and wanted to come over to say hello.
They enthusiastically introduced themselves to Gu Xun and stuffed a handful of candies wrapped in colorful boxes into his hands.
After chattering for a while, the two children left. Gu Xun closed the door with some doubts in his heart and left the candy at the door without eating it.
In the days that followed, Gu Xun and Jie Yan tried their best to play the role of brother and sister.
Jie Yan also had holidays during his military training. Every time he had a holiday, he would come to find Gu Xun. The two pretended to chat enthusiastically. Soon, they found that the people who were secretly observing them no longer came, probably because they were completely relieved about them.
Gu Xun told Jie Yan about the situation here, and Jie Yan said that the people there were also very enthusiastic.
The two became familiar with each other and talked more.
Two months later, the mission was still going on. The two men passed on some intelligence bit by bit and continued to go deeper.
Jie Yan's performance was outstanding in the army. The superiors were very optimistic about him and made an exception to promote him.
Three months later, Jie Yan was noticed by the leader, who planned to send him to guard the most important place.
In this way, Jie Yan successfully met the leader of the organization - Yanlong.
The man looked to be in his thirties, with long silver hair draped behind him. His bright blue eyes looked deep and clear, giving him a mixed-race look.
He exudes a slightly gloomy temperament, but also has a natural kingly aura.
The man listened to his subordinates introduce Jie Yan and looked at him seriously.
"Are you Jie Yan?"
"yes."
Being stared at by the man, Jie Yan felt a strange feeling in his heart, a fear that the man in front of him would see through everything.
The man looked at him quietly for a while, then smiled softly.
"Let him guard outside. We don't need anyone inside for the time being."
Jie Yan was shocked and wondered if he had revealed his true identity somewhere, but the man didn't say anything more.
Finally, Jie Yan entered the outermost layer of the castle to wait, which was one step closer to the Flame Dragon.
Five months have passed since he first lurked in, and Gu Xun has become familiar with the surrounding environment.
Children from the neighborhood would come to play with her from time to time. At first, Gu Xun was very defensive, but gradually, she found that not only the children, but also the elderly and women around her were very gentle and took good care of her.
However, when walking on the street, you will occasionally encounter creepy old men and annoying children.
All of this made Gu Xun feel suspicious.
A few days later, Jie Yan came. Gu Xun was making lunch and Jie Yan came to help.
After lunch, the two sat in the room and talked about recent events.
"We don't have much time left. The royal family has urged us many times. Although I've only made it outside the castle gate, I've made some progress. It's almost time to take action."
Gu Xun's fingers holding the cup trembled slightly.
"elder brother."
Over the past few months, Gu Xun has gotten used to calling Jie Yan brother. He takes good care of Gu Xun, and she really treats him as a brother in her heart.
"Are we...are we really doing this right?"
"If the royal family attacks, will they let these family members go?"
Jie Yan looked at Gu Xun and found that she was indeed different from half a year ago. There was light and pain in her eyes now.
Those eyes that were once young and numb now felt pain.
This is really cruel "good news".
