Chapter 58: Lies! More lies!
The sunglasses-wearing woman was stunned, and she sized up the man yet again.
Were these the differences between world views?
The sunglasses-wearing woman felt as though this phrase was very familiar, it felt as though……
“Based on the fact that we are all people from Xia!”
That was right, it was the exact same cringy line that angered, patriotic youth would say.
After thinking for a moment, she chose to disengage with this man and turned towards Yasuo.
“Mr Swordsman, this is our world, we know that you have lost your memory. You must be confused, but in our country, you have to follow our laws, please follow us.”
They might not be able to deal with the white Hanfu man, but they could definitely take care of Yasuo by themselves.
“Can you guys help me regain my lost memories?” Yasuo understood the hidden meaning behind his words, and he quickly asked.
Where was the initial pride of the Wind Swordsman?
In this world, he had first met with an expert, the armoured man. Then, it was the perverted white-dressed man. If he continued to act with his pride in the way, he wouldn’t even know how he would die.
“We cannot guarantee that you’ll remember everything, but you will at least regain parts of it.”
The sunglasses woman wasn’t lying, they indeed had Yasuo’s background story from the game information, and it was also considered to be a part of it.
“Alright! I’ll follow you guys!” Yasuo felt lost in this world, and now that he had found a decent backing, he was happy to comply.
Being amnesiac didn’t mean he was stupid, he knew the phrase “Great trees are good for shade”.
The sunglasses-wearing woman sighed in relief in her heart, she was afraid that the prideful Wind Swordsman would reject them. And if it came to that, they would have to take special action.
“Then.”
After taking care of Yasuo, she turned towards Meng Ke and revealed a professional smile, “As you have not committed any actions deemed unsafe for society, we are unable to interfere with your personal freedom.”
“However, if you do anything harmful, we will be there very quickly.”
Finishing what she had to say, the sunglasses-wearing woman turned around and left with her team.
Meng Ke wanted to laugh, was this woman threatening him? She couldn’t beat him in a fight, but she still wanted to save her face?
But, she seemed to have thought too simply?
Meng Ke slapped the back of Luo Chao’s head, and it didn’t take him too long to crawl up.
“Who…who hit me?”
“It’s fine, you just had a nightmare.”
Meng Ke guided his subconsciousness, “If you’re awake, go play some games.”
“Oh!”
Luo Chao nodded his head obediently and sat on his wooden chair as he booted up the game.
Meng Ke looked at the phantasy again, and as he expected, Yasuo had disappeared.
The sunglasses-wearing woman looked stupidly at her side, they were also aware of the fact that these characters only appeared when a certain person was asleep.
But what she didn’t expect, was that Yasuo would disappear at this exact moment!
“Is it strange?” Meng Ke had a teasing smile as he looked at her, his bitchy appearance irritating the woman.
If it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t beat him………
“Did I allow him to leave with you guys?”
Meng Ke continued.
“What do you want?” The sunglasses-wearing woman took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
“I’m the one that beat him into submission, and you were the one that only threw your words around. Not only did you refuse to assist me, but what right do you have to tell the guy that I defeated to follow you guys?” Meng Ke smiled at them.
What, was his logic wrong?
He was the first person to find Yasuo, and he was the one that beat him into submission, while the sunglasses-wearing woman had only spoken this entire time.
Would it be that easy to take the meat from a tiger’s mouth?
And at this moment, Riven walked forwards.
“Barbarian, where did you learn your barbarian logic?”
After a pause, she continued, “He said it himself that he would follow us, you don’t have any right to interfere with another person’s freedom of choice.”
The reason why the sunglasses-wearing woman was afraid was due to the fact that she and seen the unsightly appearance of Yasuo when they first reached.
But Riven was different, she had a certain amount of strength, and it was the reason that she could come to a compromise with the bureau.
However, for her to compromise with a person she had never met, who was using such tough, barbarian logic to force the compromise was something unacceptable to her.
“Ka”
The black violin case was opened, and it contained a fractured sword with an emerald glow, the cracks within it making it sharper.
“Hand the person over!”
Overlooking her tracksuit, the appearance of Riven wielding her fractured sword was exactly identical to her in-game appearance.
The reason for her stubbornness in completing his mission was the fact that this was her first mission, and if she failed, she didn’t know how the Investigation Bureau would view and deal with her.
“Riven?” Meng Ke looked at her with a smile, speaking mysteriously, “Did you forget me as well?”
He didn’t know whether to call the Abnormalities Investigation Bureau laughable or brave, they actually dared to use amnesias!
Did they truly believe that love would triumph over all?
Childish! Laughable!
Amnesias would always have a degree of wariness towards others, and even Riven was no exception.
It was important to note that she was currently being compelled.
And coincidentally, Meng Ke was familiar with the ability to upload memories.
“You……”
As Meng Ke smiled, Riven wavered. She suddenly felt a sense of familiarity at the sight of his face, as if he was an old friend she hadn’t seen in a long time.
No! That feeling was much stronger!
“Who are you?”
Riven’s eyebrows furrowed, as a person who had lost her memory, she had relied on her instincts to distinguish between friend and foe.
And her subconscious was telling her that she couldn’t become enemies with this familiar person before her!
And as this sense of familiarity surfaced, her hormones surged slightly.
Accompanied by a sense of despondence?
“I didn’t expect it! You actually forgot me.” Meng Ke shook his head, speaking in a reminiscent, yet amazed voice.
“I……” Riven was even more lost, and she stared at the face of the phantasy.
That, it was a familiar, yet unfamiliar……
Riven tried her best to think, she wanted to remember!
“Riven! Ignore his nonsense!”
Seeing that something was going wrong, the sunglasses-wearing woman hurriedly tried to stop Riven from thinking.
Riven was the only supernatural existence in their bureau, and the higher-ups were still thinking of obtaining the cultivation method from her. If she actually started to regain her memory, how would they be able to get anything?
They didn’t know.
And they didn’t want to try, she was recorded as a Noxian in their documents.
Brutal, bloody, and chaotic, these were the traits of Noxus.
And it was said that Riven left Noxus due to shame from her battles, but who could be sure?
Documents were just documents, filled with the records of these champions’ experiences.
No one knew what these champions felt in their hearts.
And,
The bureau, towards Riven……
They weren’t being truthful with her.
