Chapter 3673 A New Addition (289)
“You mentioned that you went through a lot of cruel training as an assassin? Were you the only trainee then?”
“Uh huh.”
“Well then…” Little Yichen hesitated. “Didn’t you feel lonely on your own?”
Lisa looked startled by his question. No one had ever asked her such a question.
“Lonely?”
Little Yichen nodded and looked at her seriously. “Being alone without anyone to talk to or play with. Isn’t it lonely?” As he asked this, he inevitably recalled the time when Mu Yazhe led an extremely busy life. At the time, he was not close to Mu Wanrou.
He liked to lock himself in his own little world, talk to his toys, talk to the walls, even talk to thin air. He’d imagine there were others sitting in front of him, talking to themselves, enjoying themselves.
Being alone was really lonely
The girl furrowed her brow when she heard this, but she kept quiet for a long time. Just as Little Yichen thought that she was probably trying to avoid this question, she said in a low voice, “At that time, I didn’t know what it meant to be lonely. I only knew that I’d only have a chance of survival if I was the last person standing.” She turned around and asked in the same serious tone, “Have you ever killed anyone?”
Little Yichen’s heart sank a little.
He shook his head and replied, “Hmm… I don’t think so!”
“Oh.” Lisa lowered her head and looked at the grilled fish on the wire netting. She said calmly, “I personally killed someone whom I once regarded as my best friend.” She had never mentioned this to anyone before. Lisa stared at the sizzling fish, but her tone was flat. “At that time, he and I were the only two children left in the training camp. We were locked in a cage. I told him that even if we died together, I would not do anything to harm him. He said the same thing to me.”
At that time, only one out of a hundred children would be able to walk out of that cage alive. When there were only ten people left, the other eight children did not dare to mess with her, so they prepared to attack the boy.
She finally stood up, picked up the knife, and killed the eight children. She walked up to him, covered in blood. She sat down and said to him, “Only one child will be able to walk out alive now. Only one of us gets to live. But I won’t kill you. What about you? Will you kill me?”
The boy shook his head firmly and said, “I
won’t!”
“Well then…” Lisa held his hand and smiled at him. “Even if we both have to die, don’t betray me, okay?”
The boy smiled back at her.
That night, she slept very lightly. She felt a black shadow walk up to her. Even with her eyes closed, she could sense the cold gleam of the dagger reflecting the moonlight! She opened her eyes and reflexively reacted to pin that person down. When she saw his face clearly, she fell against the wall in disappointment!
It was him!
They had a deal not to betray each other even if they had to die together. But he chose to betray her and decided to attack her in her sleep. The boy held the dagger nervously and stood up unsteadily. He was crying hard and tears were flowing down his face!
“I don’t have a choice! I don’t want to kill you either… but… but I don’t want to die!”
“Number Nine, you know, you know too… only one person gets to walk out of this cage alive! Since you’re not afraid of death, then why don’t you be the one to die?!”
