084. Between the Mirror
Whether as a 【Redemption】 series mentor or as a C3 Luka-type ic human, Gretorvo's personality, strength, and potential made him aeammate.
This was why, despite receiving invitations from the noble Beitiao , Li Aozi chose to seek out the Akaban Squad.
"I want to speak with your leader."
"The captain isn't here, and besides, we have nothing to discuss with a Red Arrow man."
"Really?"
Li Aozi's eyes glowed with runes, allowing him to clearly see everything and everyone iavern. He calmly said:
"Then I suppose the woman sitting by the sed window to the left, leaning against the blue curtains, holding a of beer with instant noodle cups scattered oable, isn’t your sed-geion leader—Lady Mirror, correct?"
g!
Two short bdes without handguards were drawn immediately. The two Akaban Squad members' expressions darkened:
"You're spying on us."
"It seems we 't let you leave."
Li Aozi remained unfazed, having already anticipated this situation.
Normally, this would require a series of prerequisite tasks, gaining the trust of an Akaban Squad member through a letter of reendation to eventually meet Lady Mirror.
However, Li Aozi was too zy for such a roundabout approach. He simply bought a set of clothes, let 【Charisma】 lead the way, knowing they wouldn't actually attack him.
"Think whatever you like, but I’ve truly e with good iions."
This task was difficult ter, so Li Aozi adopted a casual tone, half-jokingly, half-seriously saying:
"Gretorvo?Night Song, as an iional volunteer, helped you resist the full firepower of aire army. Yet some of you remained silent, not even daring to pn a rescue mission. Spreading this story will surely break the hearts of those who support your cause."
"Hey, you—"
"What gives you the right to ent on us..."
The two guards were flushed with anger but still couldn’t find any justification to attack the Red Arrow man in front of them.
The overwhelming power of 【Charisma】 somewhat distorted their perception. To them, even ying a finger on someone like Li Aozi would be an intolerable crime.
The more they suppressed their ahe more deeply Li Aozi’s words sank into their ears, eg tinuously in their minds, probing their sce.
"Gretorvo?Night Song, an outsider, faced eveer pressure and discrimination than any of you. He blocked bullets and artillery with his body. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also ck the ce to eveion his name?"
"Of course, you ck ce. After all, being outws is the fate of all rebels. If you stop here, you'll turn into nothing but thugs and bandits, being the very terrorists that Prime Minister Park Jeong-sun’s gover hopes for—is that really what you want?"
"Just one crackdown, and you're already this cowardly? Is this really the most progressive student army in Tianhuan? How ughable. But then again, if you had more ce and wisdom, you wouldn’t have lost this badly."
Li Aozi's words were a mix of praise and criticism. On one hand, he belittled their strength, while oher, he plimehem as a progressive group, different from anizations. It skillfully shifted the focus to why they had failed in their struggle.
At this point, there was o say more. The Akaban Squad members would step forward to expin themselves.
"Stop bullying these young people."
A low, hoarse female voice rang out.
In the moment, Li Aozi found himself fag... himself.
He turned his head slightly, seeing tless refles of himself yered over one another. His 【Eye of Truth】, which could see through everything, now only reflected his silver-grey, rune-inscribed eyes.
Real.
Li Aozi raised his hand.
tless Li Aozi refles raised their hands simultaneously, their fiips verging at a single point.
Crack————
The sound of gss shattering echoed, and the entire world was sliced apart and fragmented intur pieces.
