Torture Officer Xiao Jie Just Wants to Fish

This is the truth.

That's why she was afraid.

She killed her own mother.

Not even an accident.

The runaway magic power only burned the mother's hands.

This is her completely independent "choice".

As stupid and violent as his mother, as cold and arrogant as his father.

This is……

The things I fear the most and don't want to admit.

And when Lalea was almost defeated by this round of trials.

After hesitating, Joan and Julie also opened the doors of their respective rooms after hesitation.

Julie pushed open the door gently, and it was Joan she saw in the corridor.

Not the real Joan, though.

But in memory, Joan from a few years ago.

Wears a hooded cloak to cover his animal ears.

Standing in the corridor, the small girl walked quickly.

Then, from the other end of the corridor, her own voice came.

"Senior Joan—"

At that time, although Julie's voice was a little hoarse, her tone was much lighter than now.

"It's so late, where are you going?"

She stopped Joan and asked curiously.

And Joan seemed a little curious why Julie appeared here.

But her curious expression only flashed for a moment, and then restrained.

The next moment, she showed her dagger.

"Now go back to your room, Julie."

Joan's voice was unusually cold.

"Stay in your room...I don't want to kill you, Julie."

Julie looked down the corridor.

It was me who was stupefied with fright.

This was the first time she felt Joan's killing intent.

To be treated like this suddenly by the person she is closest to, most trustworthy, and most yearned for is enough to make this girl who has finally come out of the shadow of her childhood terrified again.

However, this is not the most "fearful" part of Julie.

What she fears is what happens next.

Senior Joan opened the window in the corridor of the hotel, turned over and jumped down.

And after walking quickly to the window, what I saw...

It was the scene where Senior Joan stood with a group of guys wearing the official uniforms of the Southern Sotua Royal Organization.

She looked back at herself, her eyes were extremely indifferent.

At that moment, Julie can still recall that feeling.

Like falling into an ice cave.

This is indeed what she fears the most.

In fact, at that time, she also didn't understand why she was so afraid.

Is it because my backer suddenly disappeared?

After all, at that time, the regiment leader had already died.

Is it because you know that "Senior Qiong" actually colluded with people from the Wang Li organization?

After all, the decline of Fisheye is due to the official calculations of South Sotua.

Or is it because you are worried that you will be silenced?

This is something Julie has never figured out.

But until today, when she saw Joan again, she didn't understand.

What I was afraid of back then was actually...the fact that I would never see Senior Joan again.

462 More Like Despair than Fear

On Joan's side, what she saw was the scene of a similar period.

The timeline is a bit later than Jolie's scene, though.

Although the prison door was locked, how could it be so rare for a legendary assassin.

A light pry with a dagger...and the lock is open.

Walking out of the prison room, what Joan saw was a dungeon.

When she saw the structure of this dungeon, she already understood which memory it was.

This is the day I officially joined the royal institution.

To be honest, my original purpose of joining the Wang Li organization was revenge.

Avenge your mother and clan.

This is what she carries.

Those rebellious orc tribes, those strong men from the Seven Eastern Kingdoms and Golden Iris who participated in it, and the culprit, the United Kingdom of South Sotua...

She wanted to find out who was behind the scenes back then, and then use the extraordinary strength and assassination skills she had honed so far to kill them all.

In fact, she has completed part of it through mercenary activities over the years.

The orcs of other tribes, some officials of Golden Iris, and many nobles in South Sotua who participated in it had their throats cut by her.

But who was the mastermind back then, there has been no clue.

It seems like someone is covering it all up.

Therefore, Joan decided to join the royal institution of the United Kingdom of South Sotua as a legendary mercenary.

All she wanted was to find the mastermind behind the scenes.

With the help of the power of the royal institution, find the source of all this.

And it was the first day she joined the Wangli Agency, she knew the "answer".

At the end of the dungeon, Joan saw the scene of that day.

I stood with other members of the "Eye of Suotuya", next to a gentle and elegant old man with white beard.

People in South Sotua will know him.

This is the prime minister of South Sotua, "Siguogong Osmeda".

In the picture of memory, the old man was saying something about the "Eye of Sotua", the royal intelligence agency.

"Everyone, you are welcome to be a member of Southern Sotua."

"Many people think that South Sotua is a dangerous, chaotic country."

"But I don't think it's ... it's a fair country."

"In other words, danger and chaos are the necessary price for fairness."

"Here, everyone has a chance to become a nobleman, and everyone has a chance to kill a nobleman."

"Humans can be slaves, orcs can be ministers."

"Fairness is not equality, it just makes the upper and lower flexible."

"Joining the royal institution is the first step to the top in this fair country."

"I don't care about other things, I only care about what you can bring, what can you bring to His Majesty, me, and the country?"

"As for your background... even if you are the descendant of my enemy, I don't care."

"You can even try to kill me..."

"After all, maybe that's how I killed your compatriots and seriously injured your mother."

"Is that so, Miss Joan? Or..."

"Miss Joan Thorn."

When Joan heard this voice, even though she knew it was false and came from her own memory, she couldn't help shivering.

Like a frightened cat.

This is how she knew the mastermind that day.

No investigations, no accidents...

It was the other party who voluntarily admitted it.

However, to this day, Joan has not been able to complete her revenge!

She was still working for the other party until not long ago!

Although Joan has been convincing herself that she is looking for a better opportunity...

But deep down she also knew...

Just because she dared not.
