But this is the darkness of Academy City. Even if you know that there is a 50.00% chance of dealing with the other party, you will be killed, but you can't refuse the order from the top, whether it's a commission.
They, Anbu, are also rushing to die.
Chapter 011, Damn woman!Let me go to school!
That night, Limulu strolled in the seventh school district where there was a lot of people and construction work, watching the robots carrying all kinds of boxes—the task of transportation during the day was smooth, and the postman was delivering the work smoothly. Afterwards, he quickly withdrew without being embarrassed, which surprised and excited Hummingbird and V except for Limuru.
They think that the reputation of the team itself has been recognized or feared by high-level forces, so it is so easy.
What he didn't know was that Rimuru had just greeted Aleister in advance and warned the Kihara clan.
With the breeze blowing on his face, Limulu could clearly feel the continuous flowing loops in the air.
He and Aleister seem to have a tacit understanding now, which means that the three-month play house is coming to an end, and he will step into the real darkness.
He didn't know whether he should leave the team. Frankly speaking, it's not that Limulu couldn't give up on this team. At the beginning, Limulu just thought that sooner or later the team would start to change members over time, and finally he would take control of it—but things It seems a little unexpected.
Well, the team gave him a pretty good feeling, so Limulu felt that although he didn't need to treat them kindly, he didn't need to bring them danger, especially since the level of power involved in his future actions would be Higher and higher--
He raised his head and looked forward.
An extremely huge and gorgeous commercial center will be built here soon. Because it is very close to Tokiwadai and other famous aristocratic girls' schools, the world's famous underwear brands will also settle in it. In the future, this place will become a place for boys A holy place that dreams of entering.
Limuru was bored watching this group of people working, leaning against a 24-hour vending machine. Suddenly, the vending machine behind him made a clear sound. V's voice is heard.
"Please drink water."
"...You are kind of an invitation." Limulu picked up the drink helplessly, pulled the tab, and said casually: "Your ability is really convenient, speaking of which, you can also modify the amount in your information at will ?”
"That won't work." V smiled wryly: "You think highly of me. Academy City seems to have a special banking supervision committee in terms of money. If I am really moved, it will only take a second for Academy City to clear it."
"Only in general, Academy City seems to be very lenient—"
"Tsk..." Limuru grinned and didn't say anything. The so-called leniency was just an illusion of Aleister's disdain for supervision.
"Hey, Rimuru, why do you want to come to Anbe?" Suddenly, V's voice became a little calm and serious, and Limuru chuckled suddenly: "So you took the initiative to find someone outside of the first mission. Me, just to ask this?"
"Ah, that's not what I asked, but what Sister Bee wanted to ask." V's low voice was mixed with a hint of a smile: "I can only sneak away, I told you in advance to let you think about it."
"Oh? Early?"
"Well, remember what I said before that Sister Feng was looking at the house recently?"
V said unhurriedly: "Not long ago, the formalities have been completed and you can move in. This also means that we have our own base. I'm actually here to inform you of this."
"...is it poisonous?" Limulu rolled her eyes in shock: "Sister Feng has accumulated so much savings, and then you told me that she just bought an Anbu base?!"
"Then you have to ask Sister Bee." Hearing this, V shrugged his shoulders where Limulu couldn't see, and his voice became a little more helpless: "She even asked me to forcefully move over, which also made me It's very embarrassing... You know, moving many facilities in my base is very troublesome. If you move there, you may have to work for two or three days, but if you live together, the defense force can be shared, which is usually convenient..."
"So you were investigating where I live a few days ago, just for this?" Limulu raised his eyebrows.
"Ah...you know." V's tone paused, and he smiled embarrassedly: "Tsk, what a failure..."
"The cameras along the way are all around me, if I don't find it, there will be ghosts..." Limulu laughed and said, "Next time, remember to be more blatant!"
"Well, anyway, you can't refuse Sister Feng's kindness, can you?" V said in a low voice, "I secretly used the camera to see that villa is so luxurious, and I feel that Sister Feng has spent a lot of money this time..."
"I reckon she will come to you in person tomorrow..." V in the headset was still rambling, but Limulu was too lazy to listen, tomorrow?
Still use tomorrow?
The roar of the motorcycle engine has been heard from the far end, Limulu raised his eyes helplessly, looking at a handsome tall woman who stopped in front of her with a sudden brake.
"There's no need for tomorrow, she's already here."
"Huh?" V heard a voice of astonishment, but Limulu had already taken off the headset, casually squeezed both hands, click, in a dark room, a boy wrapped in a quilt suddenly Slightly stunned, listening to the sound of electric current coming from the earphones, he curled his lips helplessly: "Stingy."
……
"The relationship between you and V is better than I imagined." Hummingbird lit a cigarette carelessly, looked at Limulu and said, "I just finished talking with him, and he tipped you off?"
"I'm really curious about how much savings you have." Limulu raised his eyes, met the scar at the corner of the other's eyes, and said lightly: "The land in the No. 15 school district is very expensive, and I still carry out the commission of the task. I guess I can’t afford a toilet, can I?”
According to V's information, the house the other party bought is in the [-]th school district, where the media, TV stations, and upper-class rich people live concentratedly. media company.
Of course, because there are more rich people, it is indeed the area with the highest armed forces in the entire Academy City——
"Well, not much..." Hummingbird sneered disdainfully and said, "If you've lived a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife since you were 14, you can afford it if you live to my age."
"...It sounds miserable, but you didn't come here to be sensational, right?" Limulu said helplessly, "You spent all your life's savings on buying such a thing, and you even make me feel like you're dealing with funeral affairs. "
"Don't tell me what to say in the next sentence, I'm leaving Academy City."
"...cough...cough cough." Hummingbird took a sharp puff of cigarette and was almost choked by Limulu's thoughts. She rolled her eyes speechlessly and looked at Limulu twice: "It's pretty good though. Yes, but the idea is too beautiful, right?"
"I've worked hard all my life, could it be that you, a kid who's only known each other for three months, enjoy the blessings?!"
"Stop dreaming, since you know everything, let me tell you the truth, whether to go or not!"
Hummingbird exhaled viciously and glared at Rimuru.
"It's not allowed to go, but you have to give me a reason, right?" Limulu said with a half-smile, "Whether you send it or not, we'll talk about it, but I have to live with a clear conscience."
V's personality has become much more cheerful now, and the emotions and tone of his speech are no longer as alienated as before. Frankly speaking, this is not a good thing.
Limulu actually knew whose reason it was. Apparently, the hummingbird poured chicken soup for the other party's soul.
But the problem is that Limulu is different from a guy like V who is really just a teenager. His mature attitude makes him look at some things completely differently, and he believes in his own accuracy in seeing people.
Hummingbird may be a good person, but he is definitely not the kind of guy whose emotions can easily overwhelm reason.
Otherwise, she would not be alive today.
Hummingbirds may not harm them, but they definitely won't be overwhelmed by maternal brilliance in just three months, or they will be so important that they are even more important than their own lives-to put it bluntly, if it happens now It is absolutely dangerous, if only one person escapes—not to mention the postman among the four, Rimuru thinks that both he and Hummingbird can directly force himself to cool down and give up on others.
As for V, I am afraid that he will become the one who is given up amidst hesitation.
"...Hiss, you are really troublesome, brat."
Hummingbird was a little helpless, but his face was serious: "That guy V must have told you some of the questions I asked, right? Actually, it's not that troublesome. You are different from him, and I don't bother to ask you."
"I admit that I took you as a novice at the beginning, but if I can't see what kind of existence you are after such a long time, I will be blind for nothing..." Hummingbird stretched its long legs lightly, and turned up. I got up and said helplessly, "I don't know what made you so precocious, or what your purpose is."
"But you must be different from V. Unlike him who has no direction, you have always had a very clear direction."
"At least, among the various channels I have come into contact with, you must have come into contact with them one by one, right?"
"Although I don't know why, it at least shows one problem. You thought about leaving."
"It may also replace you." Limulu said with a smile.
"No." However, Hummingbird shook his head and said firmly, "You are not a brat in that kind of action mode."
"Besides, even replacing... that's better than leaving." Hummingbird choked out the cigarette fiercely: "I'm not stupid. I'm a little self-aware about who this team relies on."
"So your reason is that you want to keep me?" Limu squeezed his chin with a strange expression: "Well, it's not unreasonable."
"No, the real reason is actually for future survival." Hummingbird didn't hide it, straightened up, looked at Limulu seriously and said: "Limulu, I have investigated you secretly, but I didn't investigate anything arrive."
"At first, I was just curious, but when V was in danger that time, he was rescued by other Anbu in time. From then on, I began to suspect... Later, the injured person was sent to the hospital in the seventh district... I started It felt like this team was being treated in a way that didn't fit our team status."
"And the honesty of the Muyuan family today has once again proved my thoughts... This shows that your true identity is far stronger than what we know."
"so what?"
"Our Anbu, in the final analysis, is just something for you to practice. Once you leave here, we may be abandoned immediately."
Hummingbird said in a low tone, "Even if they weren't abandoned, they might all die in a high-intensity mission."
"As long as you enter the Anbu industry, the so-called retirement is death."
"Limuru, you have brought me hope and opportunity—as long as you can replace me and become the captain of this Anbu team, don't you think it's pretty good?"
"What does that have to do with your buying a house?"
"Living together, I can continue to stay inside as a reserve team member and not participate in the execution of missions." Hearing this, Hummingbird puffed out his chest proudly, and said with a light smile, "Hey, the most important thing is to take care of my mother. With a cautious temperament, I still feel that even if I retire reasonably, there will be dangers, and if I live with you, I will have some security."
"Tsk..."
Limuru still felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, there was no problem with this logic.
until--
"By the way, little devil, logically speaking, you and V should both be studying when you are at this age?" Hummingbird chuckled and turned the motorcycle key: "It took me a lot of effort to convince V before, It won't be difficult for you here, will it?"
"what?"
"V's grade should have entered high school, but I thought it was troublesome, so I just put you in the same junior high school as him, what do you think?!"
"...Where do you see that I look like a junior high school student!"
Limuru's eyes widened, he finally knew something was wrong!
If it is true what the other party said, if you just bought a house for these reasons, there is no need to buy it in such an expensive school district, and there is no need to pour chicken soup for V, and ask him why he became Anbu, and he will not let V Come and test yourself, ask yourself!
Did she really want to know the answers to those questions, and not only that, she even arranged schools for the two of them? ! !
hiss!
This damned and stupid woman, after all, her sensibility overwhelmed her rationality!
……
Limulu doesn't want the other party to be sincere first, which will make Limulu feel a little guilty.
Although he has learned to be indifferent, it does not mean that people are indifferent by nature.
Just like a professional killer who kills without batting an eyelid meets a girl in distress, he may also lend a helping hand, no matter how bad a person is, sometimes he will suddenly have a sudden kindness and conscience.
Limuru has always maintained the three views of human beings, bad things must be done, but it is because he thinks these bad things are worth doing and need to be done-and on most issues, it's like he doesn't mind saving Sakura and giving her a hand Those poor people whose interests do not conflict with his in the original work are the same.
[Continuing to stay in this team is a good development. 】
The great sage analyzed indifferently: [Aleister will think that this team will be a good way to limit your existence, and your base may become the safest place in Academy City. 】
Using fetters and emotions to involve the hero, so that the hero has to follow his own ideas, this is Aleister's forte.
This can quickly dispel some of Aleister's fears, and all that is needed is for Rimuru to show a little care for V and Hummingbird.
"But there are some downsides to that."
Limulu didn't want to do this, and instinctively retorted: "If Aleister used this to threaten me in the early stage and didn't touch my bottom line, then I have to pretend to give in for them It’s an uncomfortable situation.”
"What I hope is that Aleister will test my bottom line a little bit, and at the same time, I can use the unknown bottom line to constantly exchange for new conditions."
"Instead of putting the biggest bottom line here at the beginning, for the sake of this character design and the final can give him a fatal blow regardless of the bottom line, so as to give up too many things in the early stage, it is not worth it."
Chapter 012, V, you want to become famous!
Three days later, Limulu sat in front of the extremely luxurious and warmly decorated floor-to-ceiling windows like a salted fish, with a look of lovelessness on his face.
After all, he lived in.
After all, Limuru still thinks that he is not a cold and lonely creature, maybe because slimes are not good at living alone, he actually prefers social life in groups... Well, in short, In Xingyue World, he is used to dealing with students every day, and even the family is lively and lively every day. He doesn't really like living alone.
It's not for the superficial reason that once he leaves, he fears that this team will be used by Aleister to test his bottom line and encounter danger!
Limuru thought so firmly in her heart, and V's slightly immature deep voice came from her ears: "Ah... Limulu, I found the news you wanted..."
"Huh? Which?!" Limulu was taken aback when she heard the words, and immediately regained her spirits.
"Well... Anyway, come to my room first, the password is the first 32 digits of pi..."
"... Anyway, if you don't automatically open the door for me when I arrive, you will have to change the room again."
"..." V was extremely speechless for a while, and finally there was a sound of caressing, and then there was a sound of the door opening, accompanied by the sound of the other party's footsteps dragging on the ground, Limulu raised his eyes and looked at the two building.
I saw a young boy who was wrapped in a hood and looked about 1.6 meters, but a little immature was rolling his dead fish eyes, and raised the computer in his hand: "Catch it..."
Accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, the other party threw the notebook over without hesitation, which made Limulu speechless for a while: "Can't you send it down?"
"You don't understand... I'll be exhausted if I go down the stairs..." V dragged his body exhaustedly, turned around with a tired look and walked back slowly, not forgetting to say: "Damn it, sending you a message will cost me a month's worth of exercise..."
Rimuru: "..."
Absolutely, there is still half a month before the start of school, Limulu is seriously doubting now, can this guy really go to school?
Maybe... online classes are more suitable for him, right? !
Limulu ignored this little waste of sports, and turned to look at the computer in his hand intently, only to find that the other party had already organized it for him. The huge interface included information about research institutes, researchers, and directors, etc. All kinds of information, which are also specially marked in red as unconfirmed.
"Thank you~" Limuru raised his head and shouted towards the other party's room.
Then the other party's disgusted voice came from the headset: "Don't bark, don't bark! It's too noisy!"
