Chapter 191 Scene 16 (Inverted V) Assassination... "Head"? ...
"Thank you...Oh, no, no, you're welcome, you're welcome..." Chen Shuo whispered, and slowly retreated behind the door.
"Xiao Shu, Miss He is a very nice person. You don't have to be afraid of her. She's just a little upset lately!"
"Miss He, why didn't you wipe the blood clean?" Meng Qingshan shouted towards the door. Then he leaned over to He Yuezhe's ear and whispered, "Xiao Shu is quite timid. Be careful not to scare her."
Oh, yes, Chen Shu in this world has not experienced those things, she should be afraid of the sight of blood on her body.
He Yuezhe replied embarrassedly: "Sorry, I'll wipe it now."
"Well, there's no need to apologize. If it were you, it would be understandable if you didn't wipe the blood off."
"Varied……?"
"Okay, I won't say any more to you. I have something to take care of. I'll come see you at lunch."
"Oh, okay."
"Come on, you must get along well with them!"
"Captain Meng, wait..."
"Xiao Shu, why are you hiding here? Did Captain Meng just come—"
"Oh my God, why is there someone standing here?!"
"Wa ...
"Hey, you two, be quiet! And, um, how are you?"
"Hello..." He Yuezhe looked at the four people standing inside the door, staring at him in amazement, and said weakly, "I'm He Yuezhe, a new member..."
"New team member! I'm sorry I haven't seen you for so long. I'm a little excited. Hey, welcome, welcome. Come in first?" Ban Weile laughed, patted the door frame and said to her.
Then, the next second, the door frame shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
“…” He Yuezhe took a few steps back.
"This, this?" Chen Shuo hid behind Tang Xiqin in fear.
"Ban Weile!" Tang Xiqin grabbed Ban Weile's collar and dragged him out of the "collapse" area. "How many more of our strongholds do you want to destroy, kid?!"
"I'm sorry..." Ban Weile clasped his fingers together, was lifted up in the air, and spun around.
"It's okay, everyone. I just happened to have developed a new retractable house, so you don't have to worry about moving anymore." Yuan Yang came out from the back holding a miniature house in his hand.
"Did it succeed?" Tang Xiqin asked doubtfully.
"should."
"Hey, what's the deal with 'should'?!"
"Miss Tang, although Brother Yuan has only made small things in the past and has never succeeded in making something as big as this, I think we can still trust him this once."
“…”
"...Uh, well, Brother Ban, I still have to take our new team members to familiarize themselves with the base, so I'll be leaving first!" Chen Shu suddenly ran over and took He Yuezhe's arm, "Miss He, let's go quickly, it's getting late!"
"I'm going with them too. You two can study it on yourselves." Tang Xiqin also followed.
"Hey, hey?" Before He Yuezhe could react, Chen Shu had already dragged him a long way away.
"Miss He," Chen Shu frowned and whispered, "Actually, they are usually very serious. It's just that they went on a long trip recently and encountered some strange things, so they are like this."
"Far away?"
"Yes, we went to take part in the Lotus Sect's assessment! But, alas, we found the wrong examiner and were taken to another sect. We had to find a random excuse to leave."
“…”The past has been changed?
"Well, okay, let's not talk about sad things. Miss He, I'll take you for a walk and give you a brief introduction to our daily work."
"good."
"By the way, Captain Meng said that you've been feeling a bit irritated lately, Miss He. Should you eat something lighter?"
"Um."
"Okay, I'll go tell the people in the kitchen in a minute!"
“…Thank you.”
"We are all friends, this little thing is nothing." Chen Shu turned his head away shyly.
"It's precisely because we're friends that I want to tell you." He Yuezhe moved closer to her. "Xiao Shu, thank you very much."
"Wa ...
"What's wrong? Did I scare you?"
“No, no…”
"Then why didn't you look at me? I've wiped all the blood off my body."
“I, I…”
"Ahem, Miss He, let me introduce them to you formally. This is stir-fried corn, this is golden sand corn, and this is corn and pork ribs soup without the ribs. I grew these myself. I hope you like them."
“…”
"Miss He?"
"Nothing much, it looks delicious, something I would enjoy."
"Oh, that's good!"
Her little Shu also likes to eat corn.
As He Yuezhe thought about it, he recalled the scenes when the two of them used to plant vegetables and water them together.
“…” She lowered her eyes and ate quietly.
"Miss He, can I sit here?"
"..." He Yuezhe raised his eyes and saw Tang Xiqin looking at him indifferently. He nodded and said with a smile, "Of course."
"Do you smile like that at everyone?"
"Um?"
"I used to know someone who said she only smiled at the dead and was only close to the dead. But then she smiled at me and got close to me. I wondered if she was going to kill me, but she didn't. She just said we were friends and that was how it should be. Then, not long after, she disappeared."
"..." He Yuezhe still smiled and called out her name, "Tang Xiqin."
You finally came to see me, Tang Xiqin, even though I can only use the body of your counterpart, but it’s been a long time, a long time, a long time, a long, long time.
It’s been so long that I almost forgot about you.
There was no fear, no terror. He Yuezhe just looked at her calmly, caressing her face carefully with his eyes.
"I would rather she and I never become friends, I would rather she never be willing to smile at me, I would rather she and I were strangers from the beginning, then, would she not disappear?" Tang Xiqin asked.
"Yes, this way, she won't disappear." He Yuezhe replied.
"It's a lie."
"If you already know the answer, why are you asking me?"
“…”
"Sister Tang, Miss He, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing, Xiaoshu, let's eat."
“…Oh, okay.”
"Miss He, Captain Meng is waiting for you outside. Go find her after you finish eating."
"good."
…
The meal was eaten in silence. Ban Weile and Yuan Yang had not come over yet, and the three of them did not speak anymore.
It was still unclear whether the soul possessing the body of the same entity would cause harm, so He Yuezhe had to finish his meal quickly, told Tang Xiqin to be careful, and then left the cafeteria.
"Captain Meng." Walking out of the cafeteria, she saw Meng Qingshan leaning against a pillar with his eyes closed to rest, and shouted.
"Have you finished eating?" Meng Qingshan opened his eyes.
"Um."
"Come with me."
"good."
He Yuezhe followed Meng Qingshan to a certain place. Houses built similar to the courtyards of ordinary people were arranged in an orderly manner around them. Occasionally, red flowers and willows stretched out from the walls, adding a bit of color to the solemn environment.
"What do you want to do here in Baiyujing alone?" Captain Meng walked in front.
He Yuezhe followed her and replied, "Come and see what the most prosperous place in the world looks like."
"That's all?"
"That's all."
"Then why didn't you refuse my invitation?"
"Because I have no money."
“…”
“…”
"Miss He, where do you live? Is it far from here? Do you want to bring your family over?"
"They are all dead."
"That's a good thing."
"Captain Meng, this is not a pleasant thing to say."
"Ha, it's just that when we go on missions, our guards always take our own lives. If you fail, no one will come to rescue you. Only team members will continue to fight on the same mission."
"So I thought, if you no longer have any family and have no ties in this world, then you might be more open-minded when facing the death of others."
“…”
"Miss He, a new mission has arrived. We are to assassinate Bai Yujing's 'head'."
"Assassinate... 'head'?"
"That's right. The mission of the guard team is not only to protect the safety of Baiyujing, but also to carry out secret assassinations."
"The target of this assassination is Baiyujing's 'head'. As you can see, Baiyujing is currently developing into 'over-prosperity'. If this isn't stopped in time, the class differences and people's extreme extravagance and wastefulness here will likely gradually evolve into an unpredictable disaster."
“…”
"As the head of several major families, 'Shou Ji' controls everything about them, and even more so, everything in Baiyujing."
"It can be said that the fact that Baiyujing has become what it is now, rather than a place that provides shelter for people, is all her doing."
“…”
"Miss He, the guards, although they are supposed to be protecting Baiyujing, are actually protecting the countless civilians here. Therefore, they can't just sit there and watch this place rot."
“…”
"Miss He, I know this has nothing to do with you, but they demand that you carry out this mission."
“…” He Yuezhe stretched out his hand and moved the reflection of the girl in the pool.
"I originally refused. After all, Miss He is a newcomer. It's not your turn to sacrifice yourself on this mission anyway. But..."
"I'll go."
"Miss He?"
"Since Captain Meng has finally come to me, it means this mission isn't that difficult. As a member of the escort team, I naturally have to accept it."
“…”
"Captain Meng, don't worry about me," He Yuezhe stroked his reflected face, "When does the mission start?"
"tomorrow."
"Where should I go then?"
"Right here."
"Who is the 'head' then? Where should I find her?"
"Miss He, are you really not worried about your life at all?!"
"Captain Meng, tell me, is the me in the water me?"
"Miss He!"
"If she were me, could she live on in my place? If she wasn't me, why would she..."
"Miss He!!"
"And why are you so anxious for me?"
“He Yuezhe!!!”
"I will protect myself, Captain," He Yuezhe said, sitting by the pond without looking back, "You don't have to worry about me."
"How can I not worry about you?!" Meng Qingshan's reflection appeared in the pond. "He Yuezhe, do you know what 'head' means?!"
"What does it mean?"
"That means she's in a very dangerous place for you, surrounded by many dangerous people. She herself is also dangerous! Are you planning to go there unprepared?!"
"Believe me, Captain, no matter how dangerous it is, I'm not afraid..."
“But I’m scared!!”
"Captain Meng...?"
