Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 189 Both Sides Satisfied

    

e practically the boss of the Illusion Beast Space now. As long as you are corrupted, other Illusion Beasts weaker than you can all become parasites for the demonic aura under your suppression."Ripple...The ripples surging out of the room this time were not intercepted. She set her sights on the door and sprinted away. People returning to their residences nearby, in groups of three or two, watched her as if she were crazy. No one spoke to stop her, and no soldiers jumped out to apprehend her.

"Tasker, you don't have to do that."

The sound of the stone mill echoed in Ripple's ears.

"It's necessary. Since I'm acting, I have to do it properly. As someone forced here, if I don't show any resistance or conflict, they'll become suspicious and wary. I need to give them a process of brainwashing me, so they feel a sense of accomplishment. That way, they can also cover for me."

As she explained the ripples, she had already reached the gate. She pretended to strain and open a crack in the door, then squeezed out. Unfortunately, after running two steps, she stopped.

Because there was a fifty-meter-wide chasm right in front of her, and the suspension bridge spanning the chasm had been retracted, and the suspension bridge was on the opposite side, this meant that the military camp she was now in was an island.

The sound of gunshots, "bang bang bang," rang out, falling beside Ripple's feet. She screamed in terror, turning and running back through the door before collapsing to her knees, overcome with sobs.

All of this was seen by Instructor Chiang on the second floor. Deputy Officer Wei also stood by the window because he heard the gunshots and watched the whole thing. A smile curled at the corner of his lips, and he said:

"Instructor Chiang, Teacher Wu is quite bold to even think about running away."

"This is normal. If you don't let her try, she won't submit."

What next

"Since you have so much energy, why don't you starve her for three days and then talk to her"

That's it, the ripples were sent to solitary confinement.

After adapting to the darkness, ripples continued to pound on the door and berate him. When she was tired, she sat cross-legged and began to circulate her inner energy. Although there was no spiritual energy here, doing so would minimize her consumption and allow her to survive for a little longer.

For three days, Lianyi had gone without food. She felt she could still endure it; she thought the time was right. On this day, she didn't knock or shout. Instead, she simply lay down and fell asleep, conserving her energy while appearing extremely weak.

Then she was carried back into the conference room, and after being splashed with a glass of cold water, Lian'ri feigned weakness and said:

"What do you want If you want to kill me, just come out and do it. There's no need to torture me!"

"We gave you three days to consider, to get a feel for things here. Unfortunately, you didn't value the opportunity. But seeing your persistence, we won't waste any more time."

Wei, the deputy officer, looked at Lian Yi who was rather disheveled. He directly opened a brown paper file bag and took out a pile of documents, laying them one by one in front of her.

These are messages we collected at great cost, from high-ranking Japanese officers. Each one of them has blood of Chinese people on their hands. Currently, Japan is losing on the battlefield and surrender is only a matter of time. Then these people will openly leave China.

But we don't want to let these murderers get away. Since we can't directly eliminate them, we launched the 'decapitation plan', using assassination to end their lives on the very soil where they committed their crimes, forever beneath our feet.

But after years of fighting, our intelligence agencies have become very familiar with each other's. We've also lost many comrades in the process. Therefore, we urgently need some fresh faces with clean backgrounds to carry out this special mission. These people are least wary of women, so we established a special operations team, and you were specifically recruited as one of our operatives.

From the moment we brought you to the base, you've been put to the test. These three days of confinement were a trial of your patience and resilience. Now, congratulations on passing the initial evaluation. Next, you will undergo six months of training to ensure you can successfully complete your mission. We don't have much time left.

"Now you have ten minutes to consider. If you still insist on leaving, tomorrow's first bus will take you."

Rian looked at the stack of thin papers before her. Each one documented the crimes of these people, and among them was General Fujiwara Jiro of Japan, the man who had killed her predecessor without a trace.

After finishing reading all the data in front of her, Lian Yi finally lifted her head and frowned, saying:

"If you just tell me directly, we wouldn't waste so much time. I'm willing to take on this task."

"Whether you are willing is one thing, whether you are suitable is another. These all need to be evaluated by professionals like us, so it's not a waste of time."

Vice Officer Wei smiled and explained.

"Alright! I don't understand your rules, but six months of training means I can't return to school as planned. That was my original profession and the best cover for me."

The ripples have clearly entered a state.

"Don't worry about that. After school starts, we will send you back to continue teaching at Yimin University. We will compress the things you need to learn as much as possible so that you can complete them during this winter vacation. I hope you are well prepared."

"Great!"

The whole play of ripples has come to an end, and the KMT people also believe that their brainwashing plan has been very successful. Both sides have achieved their own goals, and the rest of the things proceeded smoothly.

Over the next month, Ripple was thrown into the fire of intense training.

As an excellent assassin, there are many things to master, such as hand-to-hand combat, shooting, driving, intelligence gathering, and on-the-spot judgment. All of these were taught to Ripple by three instructors in a cram school manner.

Besides Ripple, there were five other women undergoing training at the same time. Some of them were newly trained intelligence officers from the Nationalist Party, while others, like Ripple, were temporarily recruited for their unique skills. There were also some who were directly transferred from the military. What they all had in common was that they were young, beautiful, and independent new women.

In the group of six, Ripples had always been at the bottom. After all, she was a latecomer to the team, and while her scores in information analysis were perfect, her other results were terrible. Every time, she barely scraped by.

And out of the six, she was the one who cried the most. She would cry silently when she was tired, and when her grades were bad. In short, she didn't quite fit in with the rest of the team.

But in every training exercise, Ripple is able to make accurate judgments, ensuring the mission's success. Even Instructor Chiang admires her intuition and judgment.

A month later, Lianyi carried her luggage and happily bid farewell to her teammates. She was going back to school to continue being a teacher.

"The beheading operation will be under my direct responsibility. Eileen will join you when the time comes. Normally, you six won't participate in the same mission at once. Wait for my orders."

"Wei, the deputy officer," said to Lianyi, pointing at the female instructor beside him. "She is the clerk you met on your first day, and she's also in charge of teaching you about environmental analysis and intelligence gathering."

Okay!

Ripples readily agreed, then walked away gracefully.o one has ever had a master before, but our Heavenly Master lineage must be passed down. It wouldn't hurt to have an apprentice by your side. I think Mu Xiannian would make a good disciple for you!"R...
