People are in the alliance, but the Taiwan server system

"It seems that you still need to practice for a few more years." Chen Ce laughed at the other party mercilessly, and then reached out to reach for the other party's coat - he had to remove all the other party's weapons before he could feel completely at ease.

But just when he put his hand into his coat and was about to pull it open, he suddenly felt a...

Weirdly soft...?

I seemed to have this feeling when I touched the Steel of the Heart just now, but I was busy stacking the steel and didn't pay much attention to it...

What does this feel like...Does Tyrone still have the habit of wearing silicone stab-proof clothing?It's impossible for breast muscles to be so soft, right?And the size is obviously not right?

It’s a bit strange, let’s touch it and see…

Still so soft...

Not sure, try again...

Still soft...

Again--

"Have you touched enough...!"

A scolding voice mixed with shyness and anger sounded, and Chen Ce's hand that was seeking knowledge suddenly froze.

Touch it again...it's still soft...

"Stop it...! You madman...!"

Catalina struggled a few times, but unfortunately she still couldn't break free from the terrifying force.

But she managed to throw her hat off.

Her long, beautiful orange-red hair instantly fell down like a waterfall.

The delicate facial features were also exposed to the air.

Chen Ce was completely frozen this time, and his hands really couldn't move.

"Ka...Katerina...?"

Chapter 4 Black stockings or bare feet? Only children should do multiple choice questions!

Catalina really didn't expect things to develop like this.

Now she was pinned to the wall by her "second target", with a very strange posture revealing a hint of ambiguity, and there was still a dull pain in her chest - the other person just used too much force...!

She wanted to break free, but the terrifying force prevented her from moving; she wanted to take action, but her wrists were already locked; she wanted to shout loudly, but now they looked like a couple having an quarrel on the street. …

One of her hands was still on the other person's neck, and her body was pressed against the wall by the other person. No matter how she looked, she looked like a savage girlfriend who was having a little temper or being forced to "bang" by her boyfriend after acting like a spoiled child...

And what's worse...

The other party seemed to recognize her...

I can even pronounce her name word for word...

Although she has practiced the art of assassin for many years, she has just graduated and has not carried out many missions. The few times before, she has perfectly assassinated the mission target without leaving any information or clues about her identity. Theoretically, it is impossible for outsiders to know her talents...

But... why is this...!

"who are you……!"

Catalina struggled hard while questioning the other party in an angry voice, which seemed to make her angry after being insulted.

"I..." Chen Ce hesitated, but in the end he chose not to tell the truth. "I'm just an ordinary guy wearing a fox mask."

"Will ordinary people receive Swain's warm hospitality? Will ordinary people know my name? A clumsy and meaningless lie... If you don't want to tell it, then just do it...!"

"Do it...what do you do?"

"I failed. If you want to kill me, hurry up and don't waste time...!" Catalina clenched her teeth. Her tone and expression of grief and anger made her look like a female leopard who gave up her struggle after being seriously injured. . "Don't even think about humiliating me...!"

"Wait a minute... Who said I'm going to kill you?" Chen Ce continued to maintain the posture of suppressing the opponent, but the strength in his hands was slightly relaxed - maybe this could make the opponent feel better. "Now I want to know why you are following me?"

"..." Catalina decisively closed her mouth.

This is also one of the basic principles of being an assassin.

If the mission fails, no information will be revealed.

When Chen Ce saw this, he didn't force it, and just silently guessed in his heart.

First of all, it is obvious that the other party does not know him, but he knows about his meeting with Swain and takes it very seriously.

Combined with Carter's past and the development trajectory according to the original timeline...

Ok……

If nothing else, she probably wanted to assassinate Swain, and during the assassination process - perhaps while looking for an opportunity, she accidentally discovered that she had a "close relationship" with Swain, so she temporarily added a "third "Second target" - maybe he wanted to commit an assassination, or maybe he just wanted to gather information before making a plan.

In the development of the original timeline, Katarina did assassinate Swain after the Trifali Council was established and before the War at the Gate of Sorrow broke out—of course, the result was a failure.

Even Katarina later served for Swain's Trifari Council.

This guess is probably close to ten.

It's just... Swain's attitude is worth pondering.

Does he know about this?Did he know Catalina was going to assassinate him?

If you knew...

Chen Ce recalled everything at the meeting - especially Swain's enthusiastic attitude towards him, which was almost like he was acting.

Does that cunning raven want to make him angry...or does he want to rely on this matter to bind cooperation...

Or... is he really completely unaware?

With so little information at hand, Chen Ce was really unsure for a while.

But he could ask Katarina in an almost declarative tone: "I guess you were going to assassinate Swain today, right?"

The moment the words fell, a strange look flashed in Catalina's beautiful amber eyes.

Although her extremely high psychological quality allowed her to return to normal in an instant, Chen Ce was still keenly aware of a clue - it seemed that he was right.

Is that so...

"Katerina, listen to my advice. The water here is very deep and you can't control it... give up as soon as possible. This will be good for you and your family."

Chen Ce knew everything about the red-haired girl in front of him - about her background, her past, and even her future.

She was born into the glorious Du Cacao family. She was destined to be a respected noble in Noxus all her life from the moment she was born. She is the eldest daughter of the family patriarch Marcus Du Cacao. family heir.

She realized at an early age that she was superior to others.The younger sister of the family, Cassiopeia, inherited her mother's political acumen, but she was decidedly more like her father - something she was pleased about.

Because her father, the unsmiling top assassin and general, was recognized as the leader of assassins in Noxus, and even the Assassin's Guild took orders from him, directly or indirectly.

As a result, she was half-actively and half-passively pushed by the wily General Du Couture to learn the sword, not by reckless brute force, but by fatal accuracy.

After that, her childhood, if it could be called a childhood at all, was filled with little kindness or rest.Except for sleeping, she spent all her time testing her physical strength, dexterity, and tolerance to pain, and ultimately honed herself into the ultimate weapon.

Although her strict father and mentor, General Du Quecao, never gave her verbal encouragement or affirmation, she could see some information from the increasingly satisfied eyes of the other party - she knew that her father recognized her strength.

She is already a strong person who can satisfy even the strongest assassins.

Then, she began to accept commissions from the Assassin's Guild, and she completed them perfectly every time - even though she always liked to link "honor" with "assassin", she would not make any mistakes in the mission.

She longs to contribute her power to Noxus, she longs to show her potential, a chance to serve the Empire and the Crown.

But unfortunately, her father never gave her any instructions.

The tasks given by the Assassin's Guild cannot even be called "goals". Only tasks given by the father, the strongest assassin, can be called real goals.

It had been several months since she "departed", but she still hadn't been able to wait until her father gave her the commission.

In the past few months, the only challenging thing was the commission given to her by the president of an assassin's guild two days ago - to assassinate the new commander-in-chief Jericho Swain.

She was originally full of confidence, until...

unexpectedly.

"Stop thinking about assassinating Swain, stop it." For his own benefit and to help the other party, Chen Ce persuaded him nicely: "Things are not as simple as you think. If you continue to persist, you will only It will bring disaster to you and your family."

"Do you think I will believe your nonsense... If you want to kill, then kill, stop talking nonsense...!" Unfortunately, Catalina did not appreciate it.

Although she now possesses extremely strong assassination abilities, her mind is still very simple - it can even be said to be as pure as paper.

She has been training as an assassin since she was a child, but she has never received anything related to "human nature". She does not have the natural political acumen of her sister Cassiopeia, and of course she cannot understand those two-faced politicians.

Chen Ce knew that if she insisted on going her own way, it would definitely lead to tragedy in the future - just like how the original timeline developed.

Her pride almost led her to kill her father, who in turn sent assassins to kill her. Later, her father got caught up in the political vortex and eventually disappeared from the world...

The huge Du Kecao family also declined during these events.

"I advise you one last time, stop it - before leaving scars on your beautiful eyes." Chen Ce admonished you for the last time, and went straight to the ball:

"There may be someone else who asked you to assassinate Swain... Everything is not as simple as you think. I know you don't believe me now, but if you really encounter those things in the future, you can come to me again. "

Chen Ce gradually let go of his arm, and the girl's little hand, which was pinched and turned white from lack of blood, was freed.

"Of course, I won't help you in vain - by then, we will no longer have an equal relationship... I think you should understand what I mean."

"..." Katarina frowned and quickly retracted her arm, but did not try to take out her spare weapon to fight with the opponent - in the short and ridiculous "confrontation" just now, she had already understood the strength gap between herself and the opponent.

What's more... assassination is the assassin's best skill.

If you fight head-on, you will definitely lose.

She began to step back cautiously, on the one hand always alert to possible attacks, and on the other hand prepared to escape according to the escape route she had planned before taking action.

Chen Ce didn't stop him and just watched the other party leave with a calm expression. "I hope you are well and well the next time I see you, Miss Caterina."

"I hope we never meet...!" Katarina backed away cautiously, and then quickly disappeared into the shadows of the alley.

Obviously, she was still brooding over the "insult" just now - how had such an innocent person ever been... like that...?

Until now, I still have a dull pain in my chest...

Of course, Chen Ce didn't know what the other person was thinking, but the soft and comfortable touch seemed to still remain on his hands - he really didn't mean it.

Looking at the retreating figure, he knew very well that sooner or later the other party would come to his door again - but then he would come to ask for help.

This is a good foreshadowing.

If he wants to establish his own power in Noxus, he really needs Katarina's help - or the help of the Du Cacao family behind her.

Equal transactions and fair cooperation.

Hmm...it might be a little troublesome to stack steel next time...

This red-haired girl may have been psychologically affected by her just now. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to touch her next time...

But that's all.

Now it’s time to find LeBlanc…

The "safe house" prepared by LeBlanc in advance is indeed very good.

It is located in the manor area in the northwest corner of the Noxus capital. It is spacious and secluded. There are only a few old manors of similar size but empty around it. Their original owners are basically the old nobles who vassalized the former Grand Commander Darkwill. , had been "liquidated" by Swain a few days ago.

The interior decoration of the manor is also completely luxurious. Every flower and grass has been carefully trimmed. I think it was one of her own hiding places before coming here - it can be seen from the countless secret passages throughout the manor.

Sindra chose a corner room on the second floor to live in. When Chen Ce arrived, she was sorting out her few clothes.

"Where's LeBlanc?" Chen Ce asked straight to the point.

"I don't know." Syndra's answer was brief, "She left after bringing me here."

"Did she say where she was going?"

"No."

"Then did she leave any contact information?"

"No."

"Then...can you find her now?"

"No."

"..." After hearing these three affirmative replies, Chen Ce went numb instantly.

The top priority now is to find LeBlanc and ask about Swain and Trifali Council, but she doesn’t know where to hide at this time...
