The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 137 — Mission Level C (7)
Then the little boy shouted, “Why is big brother asking that!? Do you think of me as a villain who annoys people!?”
Without dodging at all, Lian Haocun nodded his head. Then he said, “Because from what I know right now, you are guilty.”
Little boy was dumbfounded for a moment before refuting Lian Haocun's words, “No! I'm not a criminal! The bad ones are those guys!”
Patiently, Lian Haocun asked, “Then tell us, what are those people doing that you said they are bad people?”
For some reason, Lian Haocun could feel the spirit of the little boy before him shed tears, even though no tears came out. Then after a few minutes of silence, the little boy finally opened his mouth to tell me what happened, “I don't know, and that person must be the person in Andan City! But..., there is not a single person in Andan City who upholds justice for me!”
Undeterred by the sad story he had just heard, Lian Haocun asked, “Then, why did you attract and gather us in this labyrinth? Do you just want to play, or something else?”
The little boy's spirit snorted in annoyance and said, “I don't have to answer it right!”
Seeing the timid behavior of the spirit of the little boy, Lian Haocun immediately concluded, ‘It turns out he needs someone to help him. Either it accompanies him play, or helps him solve his problems.’
Then Lian Haocun, “You remember what your name is?”
The spirit of the little boy replied, “Nakato Rie..”.
Lian Haocun who felt very unfamiliar with the name that was taken out of the spirit mouth of the little boy, nodded his head, then asked, asking, “What should you do so that you do not disturb innocent people in Andan City again?”
Rie, “I want justice and my corpse is buried properly..”.
Lian Haocun, "Do you have any clue who pushed you?"
Rie shook her head ignorantly and said, "No, my memory back then was very faint, I really don't remember it..."
Lian Haocun, "Where is your body?"
Rie shook his head again and said, "I don't know exactly where it is, but it's in a deep pool."
Lian Haocun nodded his head and said, “Deliver it to us.”
Not knowing Rie's dilemma, in a flat tone, Lian Haocun said, “Then, eliminate this maze, we need to investigate who pushed you and where your corpse is.”
Without thinking, Rie instantly refused, “No! If I lose, you will definitely seal me too right!? Like the people of that time!”
‘Mealing?’ Inner Lian Huanran was at a loss to hear what Rie said. Slowly, without him noticing, his fear towards Rie slightly lessened.
While in an instant, Lian Haocun already understood what was happening. ‘It turns out this mission was once done by someone else.’ Inner Lian Haocun.
Because Lian Huanran was afraid of ghosts and spirits, inevitably, it was Lian Haocun who had to persuade and negotiate with Rie.
Still in a flat and expressionless tone, Lian Haocun said, “We will not do that. We promise.”
Rie looked confused and dazed, then after thinking for a minute more, Rie decided, “Then, I will give you guys a chance!”
‘Toh..., if the brothers lie, the brothers will be ‘finished'.’ Rie continued in his heart. Actually because of the existence of 'he' was, Rie dared to create this labyrinth and give Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran a chance.
Then Rie stuck her palm forward and miraculously, the power shrouded in black aura and fog, was absorbed into Rie's small palm! Again, Lian Huanran was amazed by the sight before her, although she also felt fear at the same time, undeniably, Rie's actions were very cool.
In an instant as well, the scenery around them that was previously pitch-black, changed drastically. The sky that was still somewhat dark, entered the vision of Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran. Not only that, where they stand, there are grasses that are green and look fresh.
Not long after, Yun Shao with Bai and Cheng by his side, Long Yuan and Qian Wenwu approached Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran. They seem confused about what happened. However the walls of the black labyrinth they were exploring, suddenly collapsed for some reason, plus, as if they were teleporting, they were suddenly in an unfamiliar place.
Yun Shao who arrived first, immediately asked, “What happened?"
Lian Haocun did not respond, so inevitably, it was Lian Huanran who had to respond to Yun Shao's question. Lian Huanran briefly explained what happened earlier to Yun Shao, along with Long Yuan and Qian Wenwu who had just arrived.
After listening to Lian Huanran's explanation, Long Yuan nodded his head and asked, “Keep, now where is the little boy's spirit?”
Lian Huanran who had just realized that the little boy's spirit had disappeared out of nowhere, also seemed confused by what had happened, but, unexpectedly, Lian Haocun opened his mouth to speak, “He's gone, now it should be around three to four in the morning, you guys want to rest first, or start the investigation now?”
