Chapter 28 New Mission

"Strange ceiling..."

Alicia opened her eyes and murmured.

She wanted to sit up, but a sharp pain in her chest interrupted her movements.

She looked down and saw a white gauze stained with crimson wrapped around her upper body.

The last scene before she fainted emerged in her mind.

"So, I..."

A bitter taste rose in her chest, and Alicia pulled the corner of her mouth stiffly.

I will never forget what happened before.

Love is really unreliable.

She shook her head and threw away all the messy thoughts. Alicia began to look around.

"Where is this?"

She always felt that the layout of this room was a little familiar, but before she could remember it, something she occasionally saw in the corner of her eyes took away all her mind.

The golden sunlight came in from the window and sprinkled on the boy's face.

His brows were stretched, his eyes were closed, and he had a quiet expression.

This laxity showed that the boy had no defense against others, which gave people a sense of intimacy.

"Yano-kun?"

Alicia looked at the cooled towel in Arno's hand and touched her forehead.

Sure enough, it felt wet.

"Did you save me?"

Alicia murmured, reaching out to gently tidy up Arno's messy hair, with a smile on her face.

The haze in her heart seemed to dissipate a little.

"I'll sleep a little longer, too."

In order to avoid waking Arno up, Alicia lay down on her side facing him carefully.

Looking at Arno's sleeping face, Alicia felt a sense of peace of mind.

"Just this time."

"God, forgive me."

Reaching out from the quilt and gently holding Arno's hand, Alicia's expression was relieved.

Soon after, her breathing became even and she fell asleep.

Almost at the same time Alicia fell asleep, Arno opened his eyes.

He felt the smoothness in his hand, expressionless.

"It has some effect, to some extent."

"Next, it depends on time to polish."

When Jacobin's shadow completely disappears, his shadow will be deeply engraved in Alicia's heart.

At that time, everything will be done.

"Alicia, you have enough talent."

"I will let you squeeze out Jacobin's position and help you get to the top of the Ministry of Science and Technology."

Arno whispered softly, stretching out his free hand to stroke Alicia's long hair.

The Ministry of Science and Technology occupies an important position among the reformists.

As long as the Ministry of Science and Technology is controlled, most of the power of the reformists can be quickly disintegrated.

As for the special reward for that task, it seems not so important at this time.

"However, these are just secondary things."

"The reason why I do this is just out of a simple sense of justice."

As a charming person, Arno feels that there are some things that only he can do.

Saving Alicia is that destined link.

There must be no interest in it.

——He thinks so.

[Ding. ]

At this time, the system prompt sounded.

Arno frowned slightly.

According to his inference, Alicia's mission should not be over yet.

[Start issuing missions. ]

[Mission: Colt's last fight. ]

[Grade: C+]

[Combat power evaluation: Death is calling. ]

[Completion method: Please explore on your own. ]

[Completion reward: Random job transfer qualification scroll, an exclusive intelligence. ]

[Mission details: The person in power who is in a precarious position wants to carry out a despicable assassination on your loyal subordinate, Ivy Gray. Solve them to thoroughly consolidate your authority within the Corrector. ]

[Warning: Your strength is seriously insufficient, and the difficulty of completing this mission is too great. ]

A series of cold mechanical sounds kept ringing, which seemed very harsh.

Arno's brows did not relax at all, and they were still frowning.

"I've already upgraded several levels, but my strength is still insufficient?"

"It seems that this matter is more troublesome than I thought."

Should I use my identity to ask the magic academy to open a backdoor for me?

No, the risk is too great.

What I have to do now is to lie dormant, not to show off.

Staring at the task and thinking, Arno suddenly found a problem in the task.

"The task does not specify the deadline."

"In other words, after this task is issued, I must always pay attention to Ivy?"

This won't work.

Arno doesn't have that much time to waste.

"If those leeks-players come here now, then there should be some ways to deal with it."

But there is no if.

Arno lowered his head, and various calculations kept appearing in his mind, and then he quickly rejected them.

No matter how to calculate, when the time and number of people are unknown, there is a limit to what can be done.

"In that case..."

Arno showed a creepy smile at the corner of his mouth.

"--I have to solve the source."

If we kill this man named Colt, won't there be no assassins?

Now that the decision has been made, the first thing to do is to collect information.

Arno glanced at Alicia and quietly pulled his hand out.

"Sleep a little longer."

Taking out a hand-sized spray from his pocket, Arno sprayed Alicia without hesitation.

This hypnotic spray can make people sleep for several hours without any side effects.

This time is enough for Arno to collect intelligence.

"Sorry, don't blame me."

"If you open your eyes and don't see me, then the impression I give you will be shallow."

"In that case, the evil man can't leave your heart, and I can't save you."

"All this is for you."

His fingers gently stroked the tip of Alicia's eyebrows, and Arno turned and left.

After saying hello to Tina, he waved and hailed a taxi to the entertainment area.

Skillfully walked into the custom shop and entered the unknown room at the back.

Yvie was still alone. She raised her eyes to look at Arno and lowered her head to organize the documents again.

"Why, didn't you recruit a lot of people? Why are you still the only one here now?"

Arno picked up a chair and sat in front of Yivi and asked.

"I have arranged for the newcomers to stay in a bar in the commercial district of the capital, and they rarely come here."

Yiwei stopped writing and said as if she remembered something.

"However, a child came here to look for you yesterday, and left after waiting for a long time without seeing you come."

Yanuo raised his eyebrows, and roughly knew who it was.

"By the way, she gave me a letter and asked me to give it to you after I saw you."

Yiwei accurately pulled out a piece of paper from a pile of documents, handed it to Arno, and then asked.

"So, what are you doing here this time?"

"Anyway, you want me to work for you again."

Her tone was a little dissatisfied.

Yanuo immediately retorted.

"How can this be called working?"

"I don't even pay you, how can it be called working?"
