039. Li Aorunrunzi

  Li Aorunrunzi

  Nimotin sneered, "I k. Your resume and identity are tradictory. I asked extra questions on purpose."

  Li Aozzi remained silent, his frost-covered face still calm. This wasn't surprising; Nimotin interpreted it as his st struggle.

  She circled Li Aozzi triumphantly, the gun barrel in her palm stantly aimed at his head.

  She hadn't found any ons on him, and the impnted ser didn't detey impnts or metal objects in his body. He was .

  "As I suspected—the Rose Army is a cover. You ventured into the outer world at all costs to find your Red Arrow Empire tact."

  Li Aozzi raised his head and looked at her steadily, his gray eyes remaining calm.

  Nimotin sneered:

  "So, Li Aozzi, this identity is also fake. When did you infiltrate Frost Republic?"

  She wasn't in a hurry to take him away now. With Frost Republi such a state, it was normal for the Rose Army to have moles, but a spy from the Red Arrow Empire—that was a big catch.

  Nimotin had long wao return to the headquarters of Law IV in the capital. Who would want to bear the burden all year round, running all over the try, risking their life for a meal? In the capital, life was luxurious and easy, just reading neers, drinking tea, and earning a sary without much work.

  Living like every day is a holiday, wasn't that appealing?

  However, Li Aozzi's ued reply disrupted Nimotin's interrogation.

  "Ma'am, have you fotten your inal purpose?"

  Li Aozzi's tone was unhurried, showing no tension or pani being exposed. His gaze never left Nimotin's eyes.

  This absolute fidence, bined with his strong charisma, created an aura that made people listen and think about his words, looking for deeper meanings.

  The essence of [Charisma] is its attra to external things.

  On a macro level, this attra signifitly increases others' attention and goodwill towards him.

  On a micro level, this attraakes every word and apact others' thoughts and behaviors.

  Someoh high [Charisma], even if they casually say "potatoes are tasty," could create a market frenzy. Sight explore the philosophical meaning of potatoes, people would rush to buy them, politis could use them to push new policies, and charities might even aato fundraisers.

  With a [Charisma] score of 27, pared to Nimotin's mere 5 points of Will, Li Aozzi's charisma checks would easily pass, causing a fivefold effect due to the attribute disparity.

  This is the advantage of a primary attribute specialty.

  "My inal purpose?"

  Nimotin was taken aback, then fell into thought.

  Why was she here? To find the Rose Army.

  Her main task was to locate the Rose Army informant at the border.

  Now, Li Aozzi was a Red Arrow Empire spy—but handling fn spies wasn't her job.

  Managing fn espionage, especially infiltratioween the Four Nations, was the duty of Law IV's internal bureau. What was she, aernal operative, doing here?

  The more she thought, the more she felt something was wrong, growing uneasy.

  On one hand, Li Aozzi's words strongly influenced her.

  Oher hand, she realized: the Red Arrow Empire and Frost Republic were old enemies. Given the identities of the Four Nations, they stantly saw each other as hypothetical adversaries.

  Moreover, the Elga coast of the Red Arrow Empire was 4,000 kilometers from Frost Republic.

  But the Rose Army was a nearby threat, with ret attacks greatly damaging the national border security, stirring u iher three nations.

  Nimotin might be dim-witted, but she knew her pce.

  She wasn't here to deal with a Red Arrow Empire spy, nor to catch a security guard who burned a bank, or stop smugglers—though the tter was indeed important. Ultimately, her main task was to catch the Rose Army!

  Why catch Li Aozzi? Because Agent Yavanna found out he was ag uhe Rose Army's name.

  Now they found Li Aozzi, but he wasn't part of the Rose Army...

  Nimotin sensed something was off, but she couldn't pinpoint it.

  "Ma'am," Li Aozzi said, seeing Nimotin's hesitation, "we are all people of the Four Nations. The real threat to us is the Rose Army."

  Li Aozzi's words enlightened Nimotihe rebels against the Four Natioheir on enemy.

  The flicts among the Four Nations could be set aside, and occasional wars could even be used to reduce surplus popution and divert social flicts.

  So should Li Aozzi be captured? He could be, but it wasn't necessary.

  Besides, not capturing him might leave a good impression on the Red Arrow Empire.

  Frankly, how many hands are there in the espionage business?

  Bribery, buying off, kidnapping, assassination, i, and supp proxies in other tries were all too on.

  Keeping a card up her sleeve, who knew when it might e in handy?

  As Nimotin wavered, Li Aozzi delivered another assist:

  "Actually, I have some uanding of the Rose Army's deployments at the border, which could help your try..."

  Nimotin raised an eyebrow.

  Even the phrase "your try" was used, making it clear: Li Aozzi was ying his cards oable, no longer pretending. He was a Red Arrow Empire spy.

  Nnizing the situation, he knew he had to divulge some non-critical Empire secrets to save himself—his death would be a loss for the Empire.

  Li Aozzi deliberately left his words unfinished, gng around, pausing on the armed police aiming at him.

  Nimotin pondered for a moment, uanding his implication, and slightly waved her hand:

  "Stand down."

  The police didn't dare defy the orders of a Law IV officer, l their guns and standing with their ons slung.

  Ding... ding...

  Faint knog sounds were heard, but no one paid attention. The storm outside, with sand and stones, often made simir noises.

  However, Li Aozzi knew clearly that it was Nuo Mi, ready and signaling with a wrench.

  Time .

  Li Aozzi's eyes flickered, and he spoke softly:

  "This matter is crucial. I only tell you alone."

  "Alright."

  Nimotin agreed without hesitation. As an Alpha-tier [Assassin], wearing professional tactical gear, a normal man without cyberihas couldn't possibly harm her.

  Li Aozzi subtly adjusted his posture, his gaze sweeping past the waste ke behind Nimotin.

  "Go on, the whereabouts of the Rose Army..."

  She leaned in, pg a hand on Li Aozzi's shoulder, her left ear close to his cheek.

  Li Aozzi slightly tilted his head, golden rings appearing in his eyes. His hands hung down, his right palm ing around his left elbow. He twisted his shoulder, ready to dislocate it manually. As he got closer to Nimotin's ear, he said:

  "The Twin Queens of the Civilized Red Arrow are a pair of sluts, and you, you piece of shit! Fuck you!"

  Nimotin was momentarily stunned.

  The moment, she felt herself plunging into an abyss, rapidly falling backward. The surrounding police screamed and fell, plunging into the waste ke.

  Gravity reversal!

  "Aether!"

  Nimotin growled.

  She reacted swiftly, immediately grabbing Li Aozzi's shoulder.

  However, she only heard a crisp "crack" as Li Aozzi's shoulder seemed to break, slipping out of her grip!

  "Damn it!"

  Nimotin was dumbfounded—Li Aozzi dislocated himself to avoid her grasp.

  She tumbled, her body parallel to the ground, before her prosthetic arm shot out a grappling hook, catg onto nearby scrap metal. With a strong yank, she nded.

  That fall almost made her break into a cold sweat—her foot was only 15 timeters away from the scalding waste pool.

  The temperature there was extremely high. The police who fell in screamed as their skin corroded, and the toxic substances quickly infiltrated their bodies, leaving them lifeless.

  Damn it...

  Nimotied force, climbing the ground as if rock climbing, awkwardly getting up.

  She pressed her earpiece, shouting to the unscathed female agents on the hill:

  "Open fire! What are you waiting for?! Kill him!"

  The female agents snapped out of it, drawing their guns to shoot, but Li Aozzi immediately dived into the car. Nuo Mi was already behind the wheel, stomping the gas, ramming two blog officers, and speeding up the hill.

  "This car doesn't have much gas! Head back! Go to Qiu Ran!"

  Li Aozzi, sitting in the passenger seat, urged, biting his teeth as he reset his dislocated shoulder, blood still p from the wound, a k of flesh missing.

  Just now, Nimotin's grab had directly cost him 35 health points.

  "Hold on tight!"

  Nuo Mi didn't waste any time, steering into the valley. Behind them, the headlights of two Law IV modified cars lit up, chasing them like dark beasts.
