The Return Of The God Level Assassin

AFTER arriving at Mystery Land, they first went to the area occupied by the mystery coaster. All because Luo Yan said earlier that he wanted to ride it. Of course, they went and interviewed some NPCs first near the area. But alas, they werenʼt so lucky. None of the NPCs they asked knew Lhoris. Even when Luo Yan didnʼt mention the name of the moon elf and just asked about an aloof elf with blond hair and glasses, those NPCs still didnʼt give them any useful I formation.

Luo Yan was getting more and more frustrated because of that. But he still forced himself to be more patient. They were only on the second area of the amusement park, there were still three areas left. If lose his cool now, then it was sure that he would just get more and more annoyed later. Which would definitely affect his level of enjoyment. How could he let that happen when Shen Ji Yun was trying his best for them to have fun? He even went and wore a rabbit mascot suit just so no one would disturb them with their prying eyes.

So, he tried his best not to feel frustrated. Sooner or later, they would get the clues that they needed.

While Luo Yan was worrying about these things, Shen Ji Yun was exchanging messages with Su Yuqi.

Morganite: [Where are the two of you right now? Weʼre currently at Wild Land. I tricked them into saying that you two were here.]

YUN: [Weʼre at Mystery Land. Wild Land will be our next destination, so it would be good if you could bring them out of there before that.]

Morganite: [That might be a bit troublesome. I just pulled them into a cruise ship. It would probably take half an hour before this ship finished its tour. If you could go here about 20 minutes after the tour ends, then the probability of us meeting would decrease.]

YUN: [No problem. Iʼll make sure we wonʼt go there before your group leaves.]

Morganite: [Then Iʼll pull them to Adventure Land next. We should probably go counter-clockwise. That way, our group weʼll always be ahead the two of you. Then the chances of us meeting would be very slim.]

YUN: [Thatʼs my plan as well. But are you sure you could control the other two to keep following you?]

Morganite: [Yeah. Luo Jin had always been an obedient kid. And right now, thereʼs a person here who could distract Bai Ze. So, yeah, there wonʼt be a problem on my end.]

One of Shen Ji Yunʼs brows raised slightly. He felt like Su Yuqi suddenly became blind. Just which part of that gnome was obedient? But he was more curious about the part of an additional person distracting Bai Ze.

YUN: [Thereʼs another player with you three?]

Morganite: [Yeah. A girl. She and Bai Ze seemed pretty close. Theyʼve been having fun since earlier, I doubt Bai Ze even remembers the reason why weʼre here.]

Shen Ji Yun felt a bit curious. But not too much that he would ask who this girl was. After all, Bai Ze had always been very friendly. He had a lot of friends in real life or in this game, both male and female alike. So, he just replied;

YUN: [Send me a message when your group is about to leave Wild Land.]

Morganite: [Sure.]

YUN: [Yuqi, thank you. I really owe you one.]

Morganite: [Since when did you become so sentimental? I told you, Iʼm not doing this for free. Iʼll get going. Just enjoy your one-sided date with Luo Yan.]

Reading that, Shen Ji Yun couldnʼt help but shake his big rabbit head. Then he closed his Status Window.

When he turned to Luo Yan, he was startled when he saw that the other was staring at him.

Luo Yan smiled. ”Brother Ji Yun, you seemed to be in a daze just now. What were you thinking?”

He actually wanted to talk to Shen Ji Yun about the task but when he glanced at the other, he had been staring at something in front of him. He knew that it could only be his Status Window. After all, oneʼs Status Window was not visible to other players. So, what was he doing with his Status Window for that long? The only thing Luo Yan could think of was that he was chatting with someone. And he had a feeling that it had something to do on why Shen Ji Yun suddenly suggested that they disguised themselves.

”Itʼs nothing. Iʼm just thinking about the task,” Shen Ji Yun said.

Of course, he couldnʼt say that he was talking with Su Yuqi and they were scheming together so that their two groups wouldnʼt meet. Once again, he was thankful for the mascot suit he was wearing. At least his guilty expression for lying wouldnʼt show.

What he didnʼt know was tiny sweats appeared around his rabbit head, showing that he was definitely guilty.

Luo Yan narrowed his eyes at Shen Ji Yun. Blatantly lying like this, it seemed like the other really was hiding something from him.

Shen Ji Yun sweated a bit seeing Luo Yan looked at him like that. Itʼs like heʼs being seen through thoroughly. He became even guiltier because of that.

”Really? Then can Brother Ji Yun tell me what you just thought? After all, weʼre doing this task together.”

When Luo Yan asked that, he looked deeply at Shen Ji Yun. Which made Shen Ji Yun feel flustered. He suddenly couldnʼt say anything. He felt that if he lied again, heʼd definitely feel guiltier than he did now. Itʼs like he was cheating the other. Which he didnʼt like.

”Is it something that Brother Ji Yun couldnʼt tell me?” Luo Yan asked again when Shen Ji Yun didnʼt speak after a while.

”I—”

Even though the lower half of Luo Yanʼs face was covered, it still didnʼt prevent him from showing the expression he wanted. His big blue eyes appeared hurt. Then he looked away.

”I understand. Maybe Brother Ji Yun thought that I wouldnʼt be of much help.”

”No, thatʼs not it!” Shen Ji Yun quickly said. Seeing Luo Yan looked hurt, he finally decided to just tell the truth. ”Iʼm actually exchanging messages with Su Yuqi. She, Bai Ze, and your younger brother are here.”

With just that, Luo Yan quickly understood what was happening.

A smile behind the mask appeared. [So, thatʼs how it is.]
