Chapter 113: Chapter 113 – Fooling A Small Loli

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon seeing Kallen Lamperouge, Ren Suo immediately paused the game to calm down. He searched for information about her on his mobile phone, using both her English and translated Chinese names, but only general information could be found. Most of the snippets of the search results talked about her as a character in “The Hitman: The Bloody Banquet”.

Ren Suo went back to his room to search for information on the intranet and actually found some relevant information.

It appeared that after discussions about “Naisser_Ren” were added to the “Extraordinary Phenomena” section of the forum, all of the videos he posted had been investigated by the intelligence department to become important reference materials for researchers.

Among the information gathered in “The Hitman: The Bloody Banquet”, there were three crucial discussion boards, namely “Uncovering how the Hitman Vanished”, “Analysis of the Hitman’s Abilities”, and “The Hitman’s Goal”.

In “The Hitman’s Goal”, there was a detailed record of Kallen.

Kallen Lamperouge, along with his elder sister Yuffie, and Baron Lamperouge were amongst the emerging nobles after the Glorious Revolution. They were part of a group of well-known merchant aristocrats who had gradually increased their dependence on foreign trade during the Age of Discovery. The Lamperouge Group was now part of the upper echelons, and although they did not have titles of nobility, the Lamperouge Group became inextricably intertwined in the politics of the UK and held multiple seats in the House of Commons. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they “had power over the world”.

But that was only until a few years ago.

After the previous generation owner suddenly passed away and left behind the two young heirs, Yuffie and Kallen, the Lamperouge family fell into turmoil.

Even with loyal subordinates, it was hard to defend against money and power-hungry relatives who attempted to get a share of the family’s wealth. As such, the Lamperouge Group had been caught with numerous scandals in recent years and relied on the physical industry to barely survive.

The assassination at the Blackthorn Building which took place in April was most likely also due to the disputed inheritance of family wealth.

By employing the European mafia group “Poker” to assassinate the two heirs of the Lamperouge family, the inherited wealth could then be redistributed.

However, the appearance of the Hitman prevented all of that from happening.

In the assassination of near life-and-death, the Hitman from the Heavenly Palace appeared and saved the two sisters by killing the assassins, but vanished without a trace after the incident.

Researchers generally had two guesses about the goal of the Hitman:

One, he was paid to save the sisters, while the person who paid the Hitman was someone who had deep connections with the sisters;

Two, he saved the sisters for another reason—because the two sisters possessed special abilities.

Regardless of the Hitman’s true goal, the truth would soon be revealed by keeping watch on the two Lamperouge sisters.

And they were right—the Intelligence Agency of Xuan Nation found that after the incident with the Hitman, the Lamperouge maintained close contact with the “Homeground Search and Investigations Agency”, the Extraordinary Affairs Department of England. Although there was no way to investigate deeper, it was extremely likely that at least one of the two sisters was an Awakener.

However, it turned out that Yuffie would still attend the Group’s meetings occasionally, while her younger sister Kallen vanished completely.

The conclusion on the forum was thus as such: it was extremely likely that the Hitman saved the sisters because of Kallen because there was a great secret that the Heavenly Palace was keeping watch on, which was also the reason why the Hitman was sent by them to thwart the assassination incident by the Poker.

It had to be said that Ren Suo felt slightly creeped out seeing the researchers manage to deduce most of the contents of the game so accurately.

I have to be more careful when choosing games to play in the future.

In the meantime, the present encounter in “The All-Devouring Soul” perfectly supported the second half of the researchers’ conclusion—

Kallen possessed a great secret, indeed.

Returning to the game, Ren Suo looked at the apparition of Kallen in front of his in-game character and could already guess three of the possible abilities she had:

First, she had a strong investigation ability, for she knew the presence of the red fox more than ten meters underground;

Second, she had the ability to communicate with her mind, for she was able to communicate her thoughts to the red fox without actually speaking, which was why the red fox was able to hear her voice, and a dialogue box also appeared to converse with her;

Third, she had the ability to form phantoms of herself, for her appearance in front of the red fox was obviously not her true body, but a phantom she had created for herself temporarily.

Regardless of whether those were abilities she learned or Reiki abilities she had acquired through Awakening naturally, it was sufficient to prove that her natural talent and capability was extremely terrifying!

If Ren Suo saw Kallen with his own eyes, he might well lose his mind, swoop her up and run away with the small loli.

Such a talent would almost certainly possess a powerful key!

But first, at present, he had to successfully fool Kallen, who was once part of his mission objective, to get away safely.

The red fox asked, “Kallen, how did you find me?”

Kallen was surprised. She replied, “Hey~ Sister, do you know me?”

Ren Suo paused for a moment to think, then let the red fox reply, saying, “I heard people from the Heavenly Palace talking about you before.”

Kallen instantly became more excited. She said, “The Heavenly Palace? Is that the Heavenly Palace Brother Hitman came from? Do you know Brother Hitman?”

Ren Suo let out a smile as Kallen took the bait. The red fox continued asking, “You have not answered my question, how did you find me?”

Kallen replied, “Oh, I was right above you. Weird things seem to be happening to the Elizabeth Tower, so they especially invited me over to check it out. And then I found you~”

The red fox probed, “So how exactly did you find me?”

Kallen explained, “I saw you, I can see anyone within a hundred meters. I can also see if they want to do bad things or good things. I saw sister hiding here and seemed to be very lonely, so I came over to say hi~ ”

Ren Suo was astounded. How terrifying, she could see through walls and even the ground for as far as a hundred meters?!

It was fortunate that he had not controlled the red fox to enter the area by concealing herself. Otherwise, if Kallen greeted him in the middle of the crowd, would he not have been exposed?

Kallen said, “So sister, you are the one who has been causing rainbows to appear from the Elizabeth Tower, right? But, you are not a bad person, so I won’t tell that to the fierce uncles and aunties.”

The red fox asked, “Why not? Aren’t you supposed to be helping them?”

Kallen shook her head and said, “Why should I~ All of them are not pure and only approach me with dirty thoughts. Compared to them, I rather trust you. I want a hug~ ”

Although Kallen appeared as a phantom, the red fox could still hug her.

Looking at the small loli and the young girl hug on the screen, and as their two cute faces touched each other, Ren Suo pulled the corners of his lips.

Ren Suo said achingly, “Hmph, when would I be able to evolve into the game virtualization technology tree, I also want to enjoy such a beautiful sight…”

Nonetheless, he could tell that Kallen seemed to have a special ability which allowed her to “see through the hearts of people”. Otherwise, there was no other explanation as to how much she believed the red fox. In “The Hitman”, she was an extremely shy and timid girl.

It must be through her special ability that she was able to confirm that the red fox was a “good friend NPC”, for her to be so at ease. It was just like encountering a novice village head in a game, one would usually go forward to receive a mission, rather than suspect that he was a world boss and stab him instead.

Ren Suo pondered for a moment and let the red fox reply, saying, “I am working for the Heavenly Palace.”

Kallen was very surprised and exclaimed, “Really?!”

The red fox nodded and said, “Yes, the person who sent the Hitman previously to protect you asked me to activate a world treasure.”

Perhaps it was because the red fox was a character in the good, or perhaps what the red fox said was all true—both the Hitman and the red fox were sent by Ren Suo—but regardless, Kallen believed the fox.

Kallen said, “You are not lying. Do you need my help?”

The red fox replied, “No, you just need to conceal my presence. Thank you, Kallen.”

Suddenly, Kallen asked, “I really wish to thank Brother Hitman, is there any way I can do that?”

Ren Suo hesitated for a moment, and subconsciously yet unexpectedly let the red fox reply:

“If you really wish to thank him, come to Lianjiang City in Xuan Nation.”
