"Unfamiliar ceiling..."

Alicia opened her eyes and murmured.

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

Looking down, she saw white gauze dyed bright red wrapped around her upper body.

The last scene before coma emerged in her mind.

"That's it, it turns out I..."

There was a bitter taste in her chest, and Alicia twitched the corners of her mouth stiffly.

I will never forget what happened before that.

Things like love are indeed unreliable.

Shaking her head and throwing away all the messy thoughts, Alicia began to look around.

"here it is?"

She always felt that the layout of this room was somewhat familiar, but before she could remember it, something she occasionally caught in the corner of her eye took away all her attention.

Golden sunlight came in from the window and fell on the young man's face.

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

This kind of relaxation showed that the young man had no defense against others, which gave others a feeling of closeness.

"Arno-kun?"

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

Sure enough, it felt moist to the touch.

"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 my heart seemed to dissipate a little.

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

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

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

"Just this once."

"God, forgive me."

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

Soon after, her breathing became even and she fell into a deep sleep.

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

He felt the soft feeling in his hands, his face expressionless.

"How much, it must have had some effect."

"Then it's just a matter of time."

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

By that time, everything will fall into place.

"Alicia, you have enough talent."

"I will let you squeeze out the Jacobin position and help you ascend to the high position of the Ministry of Science and Technology."

Arno murmured 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 forces of the reformists can be quickly dismantled.

As for the special reward for that mission, it doesn't seem that important at this time.

"But these are just minor things."

"I did it out of a simple sense of justice."

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

Saving Alicia is the destiny.

There must be no interest in this.

——He thinks so.

【Ding. 】

At this time, the system prompt sounded.

Arno frowned slightly.

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

[Start publishing tasks. 】

[Mission: Colt’s last ditch effort. 】

[Grade: C+]

[Combat Strength Judgment: Death is calling. 】

[How to complete: Please explore by yourself. 】

[Completion reward: Random job transfer qualification scroll, an exclusive piece of information. 】

[Mission details: The people in power whose position is in jeopardy want to carry out despicable assassinations on your loyal subordinate Evie Gray. Kill them to completely consolidate your authority within the Correcter. 】

[Warning: Your strength is seriously insufficient, and this task is too difficult to complete. 】

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

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

"I have already advanced several levels, but am I still not strong enough?"

"It seems that this time things are more troublesome than I thought."

Are you going to use your identity to ask the Magic Academy to open a backdoor for you?

No, it's too risky.

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

While staring at the task and thinking about it, Arno suddenly discovered a problem in the task.

"The mission did not specify a deadline."

"In other words, after this mission is released, do I have to pay attention to Evie at all times?"

This won't work.

Arnold didn't have that much time to waste.

"If those leek players are here now, there should be some ways to deal with them."

But there is no such thing as if.

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

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

"In that case..."

A scary smile appeared on Arno's lips.

"——We have to solve the source."

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

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

Arno glanced at Alicia and quietly took out his hand.

"Let's sleep a little longer."

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

This sleeping spray can make people fall asleep for several hours without leaving any side effects.

In this time, it is enough for Arno to collect the information.

"Sorry, don't blame me."

"If you open your eyes and don't see me, then my impression on you will be shallow."

"That way, that evil man can't leave your heart, and I can't save you."

"This is all for you."

Gently stroking Alicia's eyebrows with his fingers, Arno turned and left.

After saying hello to Tina, he waved a car and arrived at the entertainment area.

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

It was still Evie alone. She raised her eyes and glanced at Arno before lowering her head to organize the files 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 Evie and asked.

"I have arranged all the newcomers in a bar in the business district of Wangdu. They rarely come here."

Evie stopped writing and said as if she remembered something.

"However, a child came here looking for you yesterday. He waited for a while and then left after you didn't come."

Arno raised his eyebrows, probably knowing who it was.

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

Evie accurately pulled out a document from a pile, handed it to Arno, and then asked.

"So, why are you here this time?"

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

Her tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

Arno immediately retorted.

"How can this be called part-time work?"

"I don't even pay you a salary, so what do you call part-time work?"
