Shang Yingmei stopped in place, not even having the courage to take another step.
She looked at Lin Zichen, like a mouse caught by a cat, with fear inside and a stiff expression.
But soon, she felt suddenly relieved, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief. All the tension was gone for a while, and the remaining mentality may be one of laissez-faire.
She looked at Lin Zichen expressionlessly. She felt that any explanation now would be feeble, so it would be better not to speak.
"Why is this?" Lin Zichen said, turning the phone in his hand.
Shang Yingmei hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath, exhaled long and said, "What answer should I give you?"
Lin Zichen nodded. Shang Yingmei was right. Lin Zichen was now completely sure that Shang Yingmei was the warrior hidden by the Ninja Team. Maybe it was just a superfluous question now.
"Are you from the Ninja Team?"
Shang Yingmei nodded: "Yes."
"Fujisaki?"
Hearing this, Shang Yingmei was stunned, but she nodded: "You really know a lot, team... what should I call you now?"
Lin Zichen chuckled lightly and said, "It's up to you. If you were in Ying country, what should you call me?"
"Jun Lin."
"Yes, it's Mr. Lin. Jun Yoshida once called me that, Koji Ikeda, Hidesuke Miura, Hatumi Matsumoto and Shinji Nakayama, oh yes, and Kenta Ono, the master of the Jinghuo Sect. Now I'm adding you, Fujisaki,
You should all call me that."
Lin Zichen smiled faintly and seemed to feel a lot more relaxed. Perhaps this was the result he least wanted to get, but no matter what, the result was finally there and he no longer needed to be suspicious or vigilant.
Hearing this sentence, Shang Yingmei didn't know what to say. This sentence was obviously a kind of irony, and it also hinted at a problem for Shang Yingmei, that is, these Yingguo people that Lin Zichen said had died in his hands.
Except for the last name, Fujisaki.
"Why aren't you talking?" Lin Zichen looked at Shang Yingmei and felt very angry. After all, she had lied to him for so long, but he had always regarded her as the core figure of Dragon Scale. It can be said that he can trust him in the future.
people.
Shang Yingmei smiled helplessly, then walked back to Lin Zichen and sat down, saying, "What do you want me to say?"
Lin Zichen shrugged and chuckled: "You think you shouldn't say something to me?"
Hearing this, Shang Yingmei fell into silence again. In fact, it didn't need Lin Zichen to say that she had been entangled in her heart for too long. This entanglement was accompanied by guilt and had almost been tormenting her until Lin Zichen exposed her just now.
moment before it finally ended.
"Haha, Mr. Lin, I wanted to say sorry to you, but I realized that it was the most meaningless thing for you." Shang Yingmei lowered her head and said.
Lin Zichen nodded: "Indeed, if the words "I'm sorry" can earn my trust in you, I can accept it."
"As you said, I am a native of Ying, Fujisaki Sakura, the ace warrior of the Shinobi group. The reason why I chose the name Shang Yingmei... is because I want to be close to you." Shang Yingmei said.
"Because you want to get close to me? Haha, why? When did I become your target?" Lin Zichen asked.
Shang Yingmei looked up at the night sky, showing a hint of melancholy, and said: "Very early on, ever since you came into contact with the Jinghuo Sect, you have entered my field of vision."
"Oh?" Lin Zichen looked at Shang Yingmei. He didn't expect that this woman had been secretly observing him for so long without him noticing. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become vigilant again. It seemed that the strength of the Ninja Team was not that of Ono.
Kenta and the others can interpret it, but Shang Yingmei is the real representative character.
"Do you remember this?"
With that said, Shang Yingmei took out a dart shining with silver light and handed it to Lin Zichen.
When he saw the darts, Lin Zichen was stunned: "Alien darts? How many times were you the one who used them?"
Shang Yingmei nodded.
Lin Zichen saw this dart once or twice, but it never hurt him. On the contrary, it killed his opponent.
"Why did you do this? Isn't your purpose to kill me?"
"That's right, but I thought I was not sure of killing you due to my strength, so I killed the people from the Jinghuo Sect who were trying to assassinate you. The purpose was very simple. I was afraid that alerting others would ruin my plan, so I simply killed them."
Now Shang Yingmei is very calm, even a little cold, so much so that Lin Zichen feels very strange.
In the past, this kind of Shang Yingmei only existed in other people's impressions, but now, Lin Zichen finally felt her extremely cold side.
"As expected of an agent of the Ninja Team, decisive and ruthless, and then you entered the Supernatural Academy and approached me?"
Shang Yingmei nodded: "Yes, I heard that the Supernatural Academy selects students not only from various military regions in China, but also from civilians, so I chose Shang Yingmei to participate in the assessment."
"Haha, why is it Shang Yingmei?" Lin Zichen said with a smile.
"Because my Yingguo name is Fujisaki Yingmei, which is transliterated into the Chinese word Yingmei. This is closer in pronunciation and allows me to get into the role better."
Lin Zichen narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him. He seemed to have never felt so strange. She was calm, wise and even had a terrifying IQ and strength. Is this the same Shang Yingmei who smiled brightly at him?
"Actually, the college also conducted an identity verification, but I asked people from Jinghuomen to help me. That day we went to East China Merchant together. When the people from the college came, we put on a show to get through, so much so that we
Everyone recognized me as Shang Yingmei, and we didn’t hurt anyone, so the merchants in East China didn’t know it at all.”
Lin Zichen nodded and smiled: "What you did is perfect."
"It's perfect?" Shang Yingmei asked.
"This is a Chinese idiom, haha. In fact, I should have discovered earlier that although your Chinese is more standard than other Yingguo people, there are still flaws in it after all. I blame my negligence."
Shang Yingmei felt embarrassed and said: "After I entered the academy, I decided to get close to you. After all, if I want to kill a master like you, I must understand you thoroughly, so I took the initiative to break into your field of vision and entered the Seven Sacred Mountains.
"
"So... every time you enter the Seven Sacred Mountains, it's because you want to enter my field of vision?" Lin Zichen asked.
He suddenly felt like he was being played like a monkey again, including secretly following Shang Yingmei several times and wanting to know her secrets. In fact, they were just trying to lure him out, and he just jumped into the trap dug by them.
"Yes, that's not really true. In fact, my main purpose is to keep you from leaving my sight. You are the target I want to kill. I must know more about you, so I can't let you leave me for too long." Shang
Yingmei's voice was cold, but she could still hear some embarrassment.
Perhaps these embarrassments include the failure of this operation and the guilt towards Lin Zichen.
"Fujisaki, do you know? I, Lin Zichen, have never been afraid of anything, but you... suddenly made me feel terrible." Lin Zichen said.
"Lin, I'm sorry..."
"Don't say sorry!" Lin Zichen raised his hand and said.
"Yes, I understand," Shang Yingmei pursed her lips and lowered her head, "Actually, I know everything, including the fact that you followed me in the mountains. I was also deliberately attacked when I killed the round-beaked bird on the top of the mountain, just to lure you out..."
Lin Zichen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I can completely think of it now, so why did you want to kill me? Just because of the Jinghuo Sect?"
"No, the Jinghuo Sect is the Jinghuo Sect. I am me. The Jinghuo Sect is a force developed by the Ying Kingdom in China, and I directly accept the task of the Ninja Group. The purpose is to eliminate the powerful people in China, including Tianwu.
List, more than a dozen warriors on the Earth Martial List have all died under my hands."
"It seems that I am a survivor." Lin Zichen said.
"No, I can't kill you at all. In fact, I'm lucky that I can survive to this day," Shang Yingmei took a deep breath, closed her beautiful eyes slightly, and said, "Actually, when I enter the academy and come into contact with you,
I expected that today, I would not be able to kill you, but I didn’t expect that it would be like this, and I couldn’t do it at all..."
As she spoke, Shang Yingmei shed tears. The number one female killer of the Ninja Group, who was once known as cold both inside and outside, actually cried in front of the person she killed.
This was the second time Lin Zichen saw Shang Yingmei shed tears. Last time, their relationship was still that of chief instructor and student, but today their identities have become two warriors from China and Ying!
"I really don't want this, really..." Shang Yingmei curled up her knees, held her head and cried, "Lin Jun, if I had known that this would be the result, I would not even come to China or be with you.
I won’t approach you even if we meet each other, you know? You have turned me into a warrior who will be soft-hearted in killing people!"
Lin Zichen was speechless for a moment. In fact, he didn't know. If Shang Yingmei wanted to kill him, there was still a chance, but she did not do it. At least it showed that she still had a soft side in her heart. It was not that she could not kill him, but that she would eventually kill him.
There is no way to do it.
After a long while, Shang Yingmei took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Lin, do you still remember the time I was locked up in the West Courtyard?"
Lin Zichen looked at her and pondered for a long time, then said: "Aren't you going to tell me... that you planned that incident too, right?"
Shang Yingmei smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes: "Yes, you left the academy for too long that time. I didn't know what would happen, so I deliberately killed the student from the West Academy in the neutral zone."
"What? Deliberately..." Lin Zichen was shocked. He remembered that because of this matter, he tried to defend himself in front of the old gentleman, and even completely broke up with Situ Zhentian. But the fact was that Shang Yingmei killed someone intentionally, just to let him go.
Go back to the academy by yourself?
This Yingguo woman is really terrible...
"That's right, including being caught by them on purpose later. I didn't kill the two students in the cell in the west courtyard because I felt your aura. Everything was controlled by me. Lin, I'm a bad woman, right?
?" Shang Yingmei looked at Lin Zichen with tearful eyes and gritted her teeth.
Lin Zichen was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what he should say. He felt that he had been kept in the dark, or that he was simply a plaything of Shang Yingmei, letting her play with it.
At this moment, he also understood why he couldn't practice at Dragon Scale every time. It was because of Shang Yingmei!
As a metamorphosis warrior, he has his own unique instinctive vigilance. In dangerous environments, he even instinctively refuses to enter the cultivation state. In fact, the reason is not Dragon Scales, but simply Shang Yingmei. From the first time he practiced with her in the mountains, he has been
, because Shang Yingmei was obviously murderous at that time!
At that time, her murderous intent was recognized by her senses and true energy, so as long as she was close to Shang Yingmei in the future, she would not be able to enter the cultivation state with peace of mind...
Afterwards, the two of them fell into complete silence. No one spoke again. They could only hear the sound of wind and the chirping of insects in the environment...
"Lin Jun, are you going to kill me?" Shang Yingmei said after some time.
