Chapter 68 Chapter 68 When I received the sword, to be honest...
To be honest, Su Su was confused when she received the sword.
A heavy sword was solemnly placed in her hand, and she was given the task of finding Lu Ze. Su Su never thought that Ren Xiaoyue would give the task to her alone, just as she never thought that Ren Xiaoyue would save her.
But she would not refuse this task. Not only would she not refuse, she would also try her best to complete it. If Su Jin was the cinnabar mole that changed her life, Ren Xiaoyue was her first white moonlight. Unattainable, hard to refuse.
Su Su packed up the sword and set out to find Lu Ze. She didn't wander around like a headless fly. Before she left, Qian Meng told her the approximate location of Lu Ze.
Su Su admires Qian Meng.
He is clearly an ordinary person without any special powers, but he can arrange everything in an orderly manner. Sometimes Su Su would wonder if she was as useful as Qian Meng, the tragedy that happened to Su Jin and her would not have happened. When Su Jin found out about this, he knocked her head angrily and told her not to be silly.
All in all, Su Su found the way after seven days and seven nights of travel.
She went there at the right time; Lu Ze and the others were being attacked and were in a very difficult situation. Although Su Su's joining greatly relieved their pressure, it was still not enough.
In the end, the sword that was properly transported was of great help, and Lu Ze used it to repel the attackers. Susu also learned from them that the sword was called the Sword of Arias.
"What are those people?" Su Su, who had overused her supernatural powers, gasped and couldn't help but ask Lu Ze.
She had a reason for asking that. The group of "people" who were just beaten back were not afraid of pain or fatigue, their faces were pale unlike ordinary people, and their strength was similar to that of high-level psychics.
Lu Ze, who was also exhausted, supported himself with his sword and shook his head carelessly: "I don't know."
"Don't know?" Su Su raised her voice.
"Yes, I just don't know. They came here suddenly, without any warning, but I have a guess." Someone took over Susu's words.
Su Su had never seen the person who answered the phone, but she knew him. The man had medium-long hair, stubble on his chin, drooping shoulders, and an unkempt look. Su Su had seen his photo. He was Lu Ze's instructor and had worked with Ren Xiaoyue.
“They may be from the organization.”
He went straight to the point and presented his analysis in a leisurely manner. Then Susu knew that they almost snatched a lamp from Cross.
"…I only connected all these things when I saw the Sword of Arias. Maybe they came after us because they thought the Sword of Arias was with us."
After listening to this, Lu Ze frowned and said thoughtfully: "Before in the palace... the treasures there were also taken away by them, but they must have spent so much effort to take these things for a reason. It can't be that they are bored."
Bertram and Asther, who were covered in wounds, joined the discussion after catching their breath.
Su Su listened to their conversation quietly, thoughtfully. Until their discussion reached a dead end, Su Su handed the letter in her pocket to Lu Ze.
Su Su said confidently: "This is what Sister Xiaoyue asked me to give to you. Since she asked me to bring this sword to you, I believe she must know something."
This letter that fell from the sky broke the depressing atmosphere. Lu Ze grabbed the stampless letter with almost snatching force. They surrounded Lu Ze, all wanting to see what was written in the letter.
Dear students:
Hello.
Seeing you write is like meeting you..."
The beautiful cursive characters illuminated the way forward for them. The writer of the letter provided them with the last missing piece of the puzzle. The purpose of the evil T organization was revealed, and the secret of summoning gods was made public.
Fools who desire eternal life trample on the lives of others and grab staggering wealth. His suffering, their suffering, was all due to selfishness.
Lu Ze grasped the sword tightly in his hand and gritted his teeth: "So that's how it is."
Something serious and depressing once again lingered around them. Zhe narrowed his eyes and suggested, "Let's find a place to rest first."
"rest?"
A voice that did not belong to any of them suddenly sounded, and there was a frivolous smile in that voice.
"I advise you to go directly to the base and find the culprit," the voice continued, "He still has a lot of these 'monsters'. Since he has already started to deal with you, the longer you prepare, the more disadvantageous the situation will be for you."
Everyone present turned their heads towards the source of the sound. A young man with black hair and purple eyes was standing on the slender branch, with a disgusting smile on his face.
Lu Ze subconsciously stood in front of everyone and asked, "Kross, what are you doing here?"
"It's good to be vigilant," Cross jumped down from the branch, "If you are too vigilant, you will be annoyed by others and may miss out on help."
Lu Ze pointed his sword at him: "Speak human language!"
Cross raised his hands and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I just want to remind you. Everything that 'that' did was for that one sole purpose - to gain eternal life."
"You are blocking his way, so he will definitely find a way to eliminate you. And his method is..."
"A long time ago, he felt that conscious high-level psychics were unreliable, so he developed a puppet that had no consciousness and could only obey his actions."
"But the secret of superpowers is not so easy to crack. Those puppets only have the physique of high-level superpowers, but they have no superpowers. But they are numerous and loyal, which is also a big trouble for you."
"Let's say you can deal with them, but what about your family and friends?"
"Well, now that you mention it, do you think time is running out and we should act immediately? We are only 6 kilometers away from him, which is a very short distance. If we speed up, we can even get there before dark."
Lu Ze’s vigilance grew more serious. This was not the first time that Cross had provided them with information, and that was why Lu Ze felt that he could not be trusted. Most of Cross's information is not false, but he will use it to achieve his own goals.
For example, on the island, Cross kept his promise and did not help Bu Xin, but he took away the important lamp.
"Why are you telling us these things? I know you well. You must have a purpose for what you do." Lu Ze said bluntly.
Cross was not annoyed by being questioned like this. He admitted generously: "My purpose? I am waiting for someone. If you guys go over quickly, she will probably show up soon."
Cross was still smiling, but Lu Ze felt a huge malice from his mask-like smile. It was undisguised, sticky, deep, abyss-like malice.
"You..." Lu Ze wanted to tell him to get lost, but he was interrupted by another person just as he started talking.
"He's waiting for me."
When a familiar voice came, Lu Ze's eyes widened. He turned his head in disbelief, and his hand holding the sword began to tremble.
A white-haired woman walked over from another direction. She was wrapped in a khaki windbreaker, with an expressionless face and a cold voice. I haven't seen her for a long time, but she hasn't changed at all.
Ren Xiaoyue, pretending to be expressionless, walked step by step to Lu Ze and faced Cross.
My appearance must be very handsome, I wonder how much popularity it is worth. Ren Xiaoyue thought. Ren Xiaoyue was distracted here, but she couldn't be distracted when she saw her protagonists. They were in turmoil and had different reactions.
"Teacher Xiaoyue..." Lu Ze murmured.
Ren Xiaoyue tilted her head slightly and said to Lu Ze gently, "Long time no see. Although I still have a lot to say, there are more important things to do, right?"
"Leave this to me. When you succeed, we can talk about the past. Then, I will tell you everything about myself."
The experimental subject who regained his memory pursed his lips. The past six years have reshaped everything about him. He used to be cold and empty, but now he is extremely sincere. He almost forgot that there were dangerous enemies around him. He raised his hand, bent his little finger, and said solemnly: "Okay, pinky promise."
His teacher laughed but did not reject his request. She hooked her pinky finger around his and shook it slightly.
"Hook." Ren Xiaoyue said.
After making a promise with Lu Ze, she tilted her head back slightly and said jokingly, "What's wrong? Teacher Zhe is looking at me like this, do you also want to make a pinky promise with me?"
Zhe replied bluntly: "I just think it's really hard to see you."
Ren Xiaoyue showed a helpless expression: "Teacher Zhe still speaks so bluntly."
Ren Xiaoyue and Zhe's sudden jokes made many people smile, and the heavy atmosphere dissipated a lot. After so many adventures, everyone knows what's important and what's not.
They did not pester Ren Xiaoyue to ask her to explain herself, but simply said hello and said goodbye to her reluctantly. Cross stood aside and did not disturb her. He didn't speak until Lu Ze and the others walked away with their swords.
"It's so touching. I didn't expect such a touching scene would happen to you." Cross put on an expression that said my student has grown up and clapped his hands one by one.
The warmth and smile on Ren Xiaoyue's face faded. She looked at Cross expressionlessly and said coldly, "Oh, then?"
Cross raised an eyebrow and complained half-seriously, "There's such a big difference between me and those people. I'm really sad that you're like this."
Ren Xiaoyue stared at him and didn't respond. Cross continued, "I always thought you were the quiet type, but now it seems that you are the quiet type in front of unnecessary people."
His exaggerated sighs did not elicit any reaction from Ren Xiaoyue. Ren Xiaoyue is like a cold and hard stone.
Cross put away all his pretense, looked at Ren Xiaoyue with a smile, and said slowly: "Well, because the story is about to end, you don't even have the mood to pretend to be nice to me? But I don't like to perform a one-man show."
Ren Xiaoyue finally took action.
"Just say what you want to say," she said.
"Want to see the end of the story with your own eyes? This story about love, hope, resistance..."
"Just say it." Ren Xiaoyue interrupted Cross.
Cross glanced at Ren Xiaoyue with dissatisfaction, and said earnestly: "Don't be so angry, it's not good for your health. Okay, let's get back to the topic. Do you want to follow the nameless experiment with me, no, Lu Ze?"
He extended his hand to Ren Xiaoyue leisurely, just like he did in the past.
"I know what you're thinking, just like you know what I'm thinking. Since you agree to speak your mind, then answer yes or no as you did before."
Ren Xiaoyue looked at Cross steadily, and Cross's figure was reflected in her ice-blue eyes. Cross's posture was casual, but there was no flaw to be seen.
"Or." Ren Xiaoyue uttered two words.
Cross blinked, and blinked again. This answer was indeed beyond his expectations, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed like the answer that the person in front of him would give.
“I don’t like my life being controlled by others,” Ren Xiaoyue said, “just like I don’t like you.”
"I am willing to watch the end of this drama, but who we watch it with is none of your business."
As soon as the words fell, Ren Xiaoyue's fist was already heading towards Cross's face.
