Chapter 454 - A Meaningful Mission?

“That's definitely a possibility” Young Master Han nodded in approval “But an oak forest with a little log cabin? That's too little clue to go by; who kno ame?”

“There's also that NPC called Gru; I'll go find out!” Brother assist looked excited, as if he had just discovered the New World, when he got up and headed straight for the exit

“Where are you off to?” Gu Fei hurriedly asked

“To investigate the lead,” Brother assist smartly waved his hand as he rushed out Such moments hen he looked the coolest

“And there he goes…” Gu Fei was in a daze as he stood holding that diary These people sure were gamers This diary was like a novel to hi! He had initially thought that Brother assist was a kindred spirit, but who knew that the latter would take off once he found even the slightest clue he could follow up on?

Quests All these guys care for are just quests in the end!

Gu Fei thought of this in exasperation as he flipped over to the next page

'I a more frequent nowadays I've always been alone, so I should've been used to this sort of loneliness by now It see alone isn't so scary, but what's scary is when you're all alone and without help Am I already in a state of panic deep in the recesses of my heart? I oncearound here quite often recently I don't knohy, but that oak tree feels fa , but I already a All I have now is this bit of memory, and I don't want to lose it'

“This is so depressing and tragic!” This diary was an account of a strong-willed and determined assassin's step by step descent into , alone and without any reprieve Even though this was clearly just a NPC, Gu Fei could not help but lament What would the final outcome of someone like this be? Discovered by players and be slain for its loot? Of course, not, for that was just the fate of its role and not the fate of the character Gu Fei's curiosity was piqued, and he could not wait to get to the next page

'I woke up with a start and realized that snow is covering the land Is it winter already? I ione mad I'm afraid – afraid that it would lose the color I renize it In the end, all is fine, as that oak tree looks the same as it was before Just likeit, but the color of its leaves remains the same Do the leaves of an oak tree not fall co for a way out, or a for this oak tree?'

Gu Fei sighed deeply It was apparent that this assassin had started to give up, and it could only find solace from its past The content of the entries that followed after only served to confiran to renments one after another until, one day, it finally wrote:

'I heard that the moment someone is about to die, their life will flash before their eyes like aback everyof my past these few days Has that moment of death already upon me? Is the process of this really so slow?'

Is it about to finish… Gu Fei wondered to himself He suddenly did not wish for this Andrew Su to die in such athat he would chance on some sort of opportunity to turn its fate around

It never happened, however The content of the pages that Gu Fei continued to read through became more and more muddled However, as the NPC continued to recall its past, the assignments finally reached the 187th count, which was also this very assignment that it was unable to acconet in this life

'Giordano; to think I'd actually still reilante Corps Thisall the people I've assassinated, but there iven his identity! Thinking about this htly; looks like I've not lost allspirit, after all'

“Here!” Gu Fei suddenly slapped the table

Half the content of the glass Young Master Han was drinking from spilled with that slap; the heartache he felt was so severe he wanted to die He furiously spat at Gu Fei as sitting across hi out for?!”

“Look here!” Gu Fei turned the diary over and placed it right before Young Master Han “This bit here et to be here in Xiawu City Fro, we nment as a quest if we kill this man”

Young Master Han casually scanned through it before he asked, “Did you receive a quest?”

“No…” Gu Fei shook his head Not one prompt sounded from the system

Young Master Han sneered ly

“Not getting a quest doesn't mean it can't be done,” Gu Fei said

“Then, what's the point of doing it?” Young Master Han asked

Gu Fei, instead, gazed right back at hi your liquor every day; what's the point in doing that?”

“It's my pastime”

“Good answer!” Gu Fei nodded

Mthrfckr! Young Master Han cursed angrily within hi a difficult fight was naturally this man's pastime

The Shadowet of assassination, the captain of Xiawu City's Vigilante Corps, indeed sounded like a rather challenging BOSS

“I wish you the best of luck, then” Young Master Han raised his glass toward him

“Aren't you gonna come and watch?” Gu Fei asked

Young Master Han adlass of liquor in his hand and looked at the refracted Gu Fei within “That is not my pastime”
