The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL] Chapter 374

WHILE walking, Luo Yan thought again about the problem regarding their current task. He was not particularly worried about the sudden arrival of Luo Jin and the others. With Su Yuqi on their side, their two groups would surely not meet. Now that he thought about it, Shen Ji Yun's metaphor earlier was truly apt. They were really like a couple who were hiding their secret affair. And his younger brother was that family member who was hellbent on separating them.

He couldn't help but chuckle at that comparison.

"Did Yan Yan see anything funny?" Shen Ji Yun suddenly asked curiously.

He might not see the curve of his lips because of the mask covering the lower half of his face. But he could hear the melodious laugh he gave off just now.

"Of course, I'm thinking of our task," Luo Yan said easily. 

If he mentioned the word 'affair' again, this guy would probably blush profusely again. Not that he no longer wanted to tease him. He wouldn't get tired of that. He just wanted to talk about their task before they rode the mystery coaster.

"I'm imagining that we finally found Lhoris and he told us what happened to Dusk," he added. 

If they went through all these and it ended up that the moon elf actually didn't know anything, Luo Yan might really just blow up. They had wasted too much time already on talking to other NPCs that if it didn't bear fruit, he seriously wouldn't know how he would react. Although he doubted that that would be the case. Especially since the fact that Lhoris suddenly resigned on the day that the black dragon awoken. It showed his connection to the whole thing. But Luo Yan just hoped that they could finally find one important clue that would tell them about that moon elf's whereabouts.

If only that receptionist told them the little odd jobs that Lhoris did when he was working here, then they probably wouldn't go around in circles like this. But she refused to tell it to them. Saying that it's against policy. Against policy? How the heck could that be against policy? It's probably because this game just wanted to make this task harder for them.

"Don't worry, even if we don't find any important information about that moon elf's whereabouts, we could always go back to the moon elves' village and ask the Elder about him," Shen Ji Yun said, seemingly able to understand his worries. "I think that information about him having that kind of eyes would be very helpful."

Luo Yan agreed. There's no way that information about Lhoris having a diamond like eyes was useless. There's surely a reason why that particular fact was mentioned by that NPC in the train. Besides, the two of them still need to go back to his village for that reward they hadn't received yet.

"Well, even if we don't find the information we needed, at least we had fun together," he said, shrugging. Although he would still feel a little bit pissed.

Shen Ji Yun stopped a step and then continued walking. A smile hanging on his thin lips. He was happy knowing that Luo Yan was having fun. Suddenly, he was thankful for this task. If not for this task, he wouldn't know when he would have the guts to actually ask Luo Yan to go here. He was sure that his tongue would definitely be tied up before he could even utter a single word.

He really needed to be more confident. If not, then how would he even confess to Luo Yan? He would definitely do a bad job of it. He might not even be able to convey all the feelings he wanted to convey. 

With that worry in mind, they finally arrived at the site of the mystery coaster.

Because of the golden bracelet they were wearing, they didn't need to line up and they could just go straight up to the coaster. As expected, they were stared at by other players. They probably thought that the two of them were a pair of weird people. Luo Yan didn't mind and Shen Ji Yun certainly didn't care. 

The coaster was painted in black and only had six carts in them that had two seats. Which meant that it could only hold about 12 players. Once a coaster departed, another coaster would line up after a minute to take on another batch of players. These coasters would then go through tunnels that had ghosts and monsters in it. Of course, they wouldn't hurt the players. They would just scare them out of their wits. And because this was a virtual world, the effects would definitely be much scarier in comparison to horror houses found in real-life amusement parks.

Luo Yan didn't feel any scared at all. In fact, he couldn't wait to get on the coaster and be scared out of his wits. He's not really the type who would be scared of ghost and whatnots. So, he wanted to know if the ghosts and monsters in those tunnels could scare him. 

"Brother Ji Yun, let's go," he said excitedly to the rabbit mascot standing beside him.

And he pulled him to one of the empty carts. Both of them sat down. And seat belts automatically appeared to hold them down. 

Shen Ji Yun glanced at the seat belt on Luo Yan's body and he suddenly felt a little disappointed. He wanted to put the seatbelt on Luo Yan himself. Then he would have an excuse to get close to him. 

No- wait. Wasn't this mystery coaster full of ghosts and monsters? He read online that when couples went on a date, they often went to horror houses when going to amusement parks or watched horror movies when going to cinemas. According to what he read, it was an excuse so the guys could show their heroic attitude to the girls. Every time the girls would get scared, they would inadvertently hug their boyfriends. Which then would help their feelings grew deeper.

He turned to Luo Yan. When he thought of what he was going to say, he suddenly fumbled. But he quickly calmed down and quickly said; 

"Yan Yan, if- if you feel scared, don't hesitate to hold me. I'll definitely protect you."

Luo Yan stared at the determined rabbit mascot. Amusement with a tinge of warmth filled his blue eyes. "Okay. Then, I'll depend on Brother Ji Yun."

Two girls who just sat behind the two heard this conversation. And they felt that they just had been fed with dog food.
