Chapter 156 Lost in Space...Again 3 (1/2)

”That's basically the story.” Lenny concluded while drinking a mouthful of booze, ”I will spare you and myself of the details of what I did.”

”Really...” Peri sighed and looked at Lenny with some pity, ”I never expected you to have gone through so much.”

”We all have our stories.” Lenny said with a small smile on his face, ”I bet you have some dark stories as well, right?”

”Yes, indeed.” Peri nodded, ”But different from you I accept and move forward without regrets. If I regret every single of my bad choices and actions, I won't have time to live my life, so why would why? I just keep moving forward, without looking back.”

Lenny looked up and saw those black eyes gleaming with unknown meaning, staring directly at him.

”Why do you always strangely look at me and have some faint enmity against me?” Peri suddenly asked.

”Huh?” Lenny was surprised for a moment before he awkwardly scratched his forehead, ”Well, you see...your existence makes me remember of my terrible experience there, just like when I use my powers. I rather avoid having interactions with you, I don't want to constantly suffer from the sins crawling at my back and nagging at my mind whenever I feel your mark.”

”Oh...is just that?” Peri thought it was something more serious and mysterious, but from the looks of it, was just something simple.

Lenny's lips twitched when he heard the nonchalance tone in Peri's voice.

He felt like he was being looked down by her. Like he was someone so weak that he couldn't move forward after a few setbacks.

Although he hated to admit, Peri was stronger than him, physically and emotionally.

That's why he somewhat avoid Peri, as he envy the fact she doesn't have a emotion scar from the Challenge Dimension.

And from what she told him, he could somewhat guess that her Challenge was completely different from his.

While his he fought against some otherwordly human-like people with strange powers, Peri had to survive against beasts and monsters.

Lenny had to say, it was very strange as how the challenges seemed to be appropriate and built for to test the ability of each of them.

Lenny was trained since young to be a sharpshooter and kill people when he was with the Starkid Crew. And so his challenge was to kill people.

Peri was Floran Warrior that was trained since young to fight people, but her main training was without a doubt to hunt down animals and beast as Florans almost never enter in conflict with other races, and just stay in their tribes surviving from hunting. So, her challenge was what appears to be to hunt beast and animals.

This realization left Lenny wondered about the intentions of the person that created such places.

There was few minutes of silence between them as they stared at each other.

They were so focused at their talk and staring that even Peri, with her keen senses, didn't realize there was a single figure leaning at the room's door.

This figure had been there since the beginning and heard everything they spoke.

John opened his eyes and slowly walked away. His face, completely expressionless, not a single emotion could be seen there.

His thoughts were a mystery.

As such, he disappeared at the hallways...

...

After some minutes, Peri broke the silence, ”Are you going to tell John, about this?”

”I don't know...” Lenny sighed, ”You know how he is. I fear that he will straight up try to arrest me, or even worse, kill me, as soon as I tell him that I might have killed hundreds of innocent.”

”Yeah...his sense of justice is unusually strong.” Peri said while she casted a quick glance towards where John was hiding before turning her eyes back at Lenny, ”Protect the good and punish the evil. But I don't think he will decide what to do with you without hesitation. I guess he will be pretty torn about how to deal with you, after all, you're his friend, one of the few, if I'm not wrong.”
