Congratulations, You've Become an NPC - Chapter 70 Arno and Lann (Part 1)
After hearing Arno’s words, the woman fell silent.
Of course she wanted to know about the Battle on the Top.
She never dreamed of knowing what happened to her friends.
Those people who get along day and night, who share the same ideal, in that battle full of tragedy, what is the final outcome?
She wanted to know.
“It seems that you are just going against your own wishes.”
Arno looked at the woman’s silent face and spoke softly.
“I just…can’t rest assured.”
“This doesn’t mean I will cooperate with you.”
The woman wanted to turn her head, but unfortunately she was fixed by the device and could not remove Arno from her sight.
“…Tell me, what happened to them in the end?”
“I can hear what you want to say to me.”
Hearing this, Arno smiled.
He looked at the woman with an inexplicable pity in his eyes, which was full of warmth and indifference.
The woman twisted her body uneasily. She didn’t like the sight of Arno.
Fortunately, Arno soon stopped looking at women and walked to the window.
Looking down the window, listening to the buzzing of insects in his ears, Arno slowly spoke while counting the time in his heart.
“Where to start?”
“Anyway, let me tell you the result first.”
Arno opened the window, allowing the sunlight outside the window to fully shine into the house.
The golden sunshine shone on Arnold and the woman, connecting them as if they were one.
“Judging from the final result, all of your original companions, except for Irene, are dead.”
Upon hearing these words, the woman’s pupils shrank suddenly, and the beating of her heart seemed to stop for a moment.
Fortunately, she calmed down and continued to wait for Arno’s next words.
What he wants to say to himself is definitely more than this.
Sure enough, Arno pondered for a while before speaking slowly again.
“I deeply regret the death of your companions. Even if I wanted to save you, when I arrived at the scene, you were the only one left alive.”
“Even the empire’s technology cannot bring the dead back to life.”
“The last thing I can do is to erect a monument for your companions who died heroically.”
“There’s nothing else I can do.”
The woman remained silent, still waiting for Arno’s next words.
Arno smiled and continued talking about the battle on the top floor.
Of course, this is a selective description.
At that time, women fell into coma under the attack of tranquilizer bombs.
She didn’t know anything about what happened after she fell into coma, not even how she survived.
What Arno and Evie told her was that after the battle, they rushed to the top floor and found her and rescued her.
As for the reason why she did not die, it was explained that the bullet did not hit the vital part, which allowed her to barely survive.
This is also the reason why Arno didn’t shoot her in the head at that time, just to make up this reason.
It doesn’t matter whether a woman believes it or not, Arnold guessed that she probably doesn’t believe it.
This is a matter of course.
He doesn’t care whether women believe it or not, anyway, all he has to do is make up a reasonable reason to explain the situation.
As for trust, it cannot be reversed in an instant.
What Yano wants to do is to subtly change women’s perceptions.
By that time, something she originally didn’t trust. When the logic is reasonable, it will naturally become something trustworthy.
The human brain is very good at thinking.
They will always imagine an ambiguous thing as moving in a direction that is beneficial to them.
“…”
After telling the general story about the battle on the top floor, Arno pursed his lips.
“I know this is a very sad thing for you to accept.”
“However, people always have to move forward. If you stop, you will only be abandoned by time.”
“At that time, all ideals and glory will be completely annihilated in time.”
The women were silent.
She was silent for a while and looked at Arnold.
There was a trace of prayer in those turbid eyes.
“I want to meet Erin.”
When she said this, her tone was somewhat sad.
“I’m sorry, but you know this is impossible.”
“If you don’t agree to our request, then we can’t agree to your request and we can’t let you go free.”
Arno sat down in front of the woman’s bed again and looked at her seriously.
“Your identity is very sensitive. You must not be unaware of this.”
“If you don’t agree to my request, I can’t convince myself to let you go, nor can I bear the responsibility of letting you go.”
After a pause, Arno added.
“Unless you are willing to agree to my request.”
“In this way, I can let you go immediately.”
Hearing this, the woman looked at Arnold in surprise.
“you–“
Just as she was about to speak out, she saw Arno shaking his head at her.
The woman immediately shut up.
However, she didn’t understand something, why did Yano do this?
What he just said was obviously a hint.
It is implied that as long as she verbally agrees, she can leave directly.
“There’s something else I want to say.”
“Just listen to what I have to say for now and then decide whether to agree to our request.”
As if he couldn’t see the doubt in the woman’s eyes, Arno spoke to himself.
“As I said just now, all your original companions are dead.”
This time, he said the word “original” very hard, so hard that even a woman who knew nothing about the situation understood.
The original companion is dead,
Does that mean that there are still new companions alive?
“What do you mean?”
For some reason, the woman felt a little uneasy.
Arno looked at her expression and smiled in his heart.
As long as a sense of urgency is formed in her heart, she will be closer to where Arnold wants her to go.
“One good news, one bad news, which one do you want to hear?”
Suddenly, Arnaud got carried away.
The woman wanted to sit up and punch him in the head.
What kind of mystery is there at this time?
“The good news first.”
The woman gritted her teeth and said.
“I want to know the good news.”
Arno smiled and unfolded a piece of paper in front of the woman’s eyes.
He knew that the woman could not move now, so he thoughtfully brought the paper close to the woman’s face.
She twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at the content above.
[The rebel organization in the slums is suspected of adding new members, and the leader of the organization, Irene, has close contacts with several people. 】
Seeing these words, women almost want to shout.
“What kind of good news is this?”
“Doesn’t this prove that your organization may have new personnel? Isn’t this a good thing for you?”
no,
This is certainly not good news.
This means that Erin has been completely monitored.
“You are indeed not our partners.”
The woman murmured.
“Please don’t say that.”
Arno denied it, his expression became serious again, and he explained.
“Although we obtained this information, the person monitoring Irene is not one of ours.”
