Chapter 101: Too Cruel, Even Little Pardo Isn't Spared?
In that instant, Stelle's gaze towards Pardo had completely changed.
It was an extremely aggressive look, as if she were looking at a little kitten stripped bare, wishing to claim it for herself in an instant... Wait, don't kittens not wear clothes anyway?
In short, under this strange gaze, Little Pardo felt extremely uncomfortable all over. But instead of restraining herself, the other party inched closer and closer until she had Pardo completely cornered against the wall.
In such a narrow secret passage, where was there any place to hide?!
Finally, just as Little Pardo was about to completely lose it and shout 'Help me, Boss Kevin!' at the top of her lungs, Stelle simultaneously slowly extended her sinful hand into her own pants...
"How about you help me do a pull?"
"...Huh?"
When the colorful gacha interface was placed before Little Pardo's eyes, she was immediately stunned. After all, a good girl like her never touched these video games!
It's these flashy paper dolls that corrupted Stelle, an innocent child less than two months old!
But helplessly, the situation was stronger than she was. In the end, Pardo shamefully extended her slender finger and lightly tapped on the other's phone screen—
As expected, a golden light flashed across the sky! One... two... three...
"Holy crap!"
Seeing three identical five-star characters appear before her, Stelle's first reaction was joy; her second reaction was to scratch her head incessantly, remembering the tragic fact that she needed 180 pulls to forcibly bring her paper doll wife home.
She used to never believe in the existence of something like luck... but cruel reality ultimately proved to this naive girl that people indeed cannot be lumped together.
"Um... we've got the stuff and the intel, shouldn't we head back now?" Seeing Stelle acting strangely after picking up her phone, Pardo reminded her in a very weak and soft voice.
"No, now is the perfect time to strike directly at the enemy camp!"
Stelle instinctively retorted loudly and passionately. But then she noticed Pardo's discomfort, so she put her phone back in her pocket with a backhand motion, cleared her throat a few times, and explained: "That... just now was only to check your luck for today. The Diviner of the Divination Commission said that fortune is a very mysterious yet real thing... uh, I didn't really understand the rest, but anyway, our luck is definitely good today."
"Didn't you just hear that Gardener from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus say? He wants us to deliver this thing to the Chieftain... Just from the name, you should know that's definitely a big shot within the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. If we can capture her, we'll definitely make a huge contribution this time, right?"
What, you ask what if we encounter danger?
If we encounter danger, just put cute Little Pardo in front, and the bullets will curve around her!
They say a child's personality is inevitably influenced by their surroundings, and they easily take to heart what others teach them... The most failed lesson in Stelle's life was probably meeting a little girl named Elysia when she was only two months old.
To be honest, Pardo really wanted to righteously refuse this obviously dangerous-sounding plan. But looking at Stelle's clearly very confident expression before her, she knew she couldn't win against her. She could only brace herself and continue following the other for now.
She just hoped Boss Kevin would put in a good word for her in her year-end report for working so hard, so she could get promoted and get a raise sooner, living a happy slacker life basking in the sun every day.
One thing worth being thankful for was probably that the layout of this secret passage wasn't actually complicated. Apart from several entrances at the very beginning, the rest was a straight path leading to the exit. The two followed the passage all the way and soon reached the sole exit.
Just as Pardo and Stelle crawled out of the secret passage, they heard a loud rumble—the cave behind them was completely buried by rubble and soil... At least from this, it was clear those Disciples of Sanctus Medicus believers were truly willing to die for their cause.
It's just a pity that what finally emerged from the tunnel weren't any Gardeners, but two spies holding their important secrets.
"I am already aware of what happened at the Exalting Sanctum stronghold. Are you two the only ones who escaped?... It's a pity those brave Gardeners fell just before dawn... But the Sanctus Medicus is merciful and will not let their sacrifices be in vain."
Before the two could recover from the collapsed cave behind them, they heard an inquiry from behind—clearly, even if this wasn't directly the Chieftain, it was definitely a high-ranking member of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus!
The two turned around somewhat cautiously, only to see a woman behind them wearing rather plain blue robes. If no one pointed it out, they would probably instinctively think she was just an ordinary passerby.
But most importantly, her eyes were wrapped in a layer of gray bandages...
"She... can't see?"
The kind-hearted Little Pardo instinctively felt someone like this before her was pitiful and unlikely to join such a terrorist organization or anything. Little did she know this small murmur was heard clearly by the other party, who immediately frowned.
"You two are... Outworlders?"
People often say if one of the five senses is deprived, the remaining senses become sharper... It might not be that exaggerated in reality, but it's certainly not false.
Just as Stelle thought things were about to go south, wondering how Little Pardo's good luck could fail so suddenly, she saw the blindfolded lady opposite relax her brow the next second and explain on her own: "That's right. Longevity... For most short-life species, this is indeed an irresistible temptation. Pursuing a more valuable life—I don't think that's anything shameful."
"Rest assured, I won't discriminate against you two because of your Outworlder status. Once you join the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, our identities become those of compatriots and comrades-in-arms."
Most terrifyingly, even though she couldn't see, she still clearly sensed the two's nervousness. She even calmly tried to ease the tension and then asked in return: "Might I ask... what are your codenames..."
This sudden question left Pardo at a loss again. Fortunately, Stelle stepped forward directly and answered quite confidently: "I am Gray Peony. She... she is Golden Chrysanthemum!"
