Under the pitch-black night sky, the rain became heavier.
There were only a few pedestrians on the empty street, leaving only the dim yellow street lamps standing there.
With one hand in his pocket and the other holding an umbrella, Li Jiu strolled leisurely in the rain alone.
"Tata."
His leather boots stepped on the wet ground, making a dull and empty sound.
However, if he listened carefully, he could hear many faint footsteps, as if a group of people were following closely behind Li Jiu.
"You can't hold it in anymore?"
Li Jiu chuckled softly. Holding the umbrella in his hand, he turned around and walked into an empty alley.
"Drip."
Water droplets dripped down from the black umbrella.
Li Jiu stopped in the middle of the alley and looked at the assassins in black suits who suddenly appeared at both ends of the alley.
"Madam Cynthia's actions are quite fast.”
Li Jiu closed the black umbrella and held it in his hand.
"Anyone who goes against the high table must pay the price.”
Cynthia stood at the front with an imposing aura. Her tone was cold and unquestionable.
"Oh, really?"
Li Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked indifferent.
Cynthia didn't waste any time. She took off the glove on her right hand and threw it on the ground.
It was like a signal to attack.
The killers who were waiting around him held their shiny short knives and rushed towards Li Jiu with swift movements.
"A ninja-style killer, a strange mix.”
Li Jiu was not flustered at all. He even had the time to complain.
With his physical fitness that was more than ten times the limit of an ordinary person, the assassins 'movements seemed to have slowed down in his eyes.
He easily dodged a dagger that was coming at him. Li Jiu grabbed the tip of the black umbrella and used the curved handle to hook an assassin's neck and pull him closer. Then, he used his knee to hit him.
The ear-piercing sound of bones cracking rang out.
The killer's face was covered in blood, and his facial features were sunken in. He fell to the ground softly.
Li Jiu took the short knife from his hand and turned his head to look at the killer charging at him. He welcomed him with a bloodthirsty smile.
A beautiful and deadly saber light lit up in the alley.
Before Cynthia could react, she realized that Lee Jiu was walking in front of her with a smile on his face. Behind him were assassins whose throats had been slit.
"Your Excellency."
"Step back."
The middle-aged bald man, who had not made a move before and had the aura of a big shot, narrowed his eyes and stepped forward.
"My code name is Zero."
"It is my honor to fight with you."
"I think I've seen you before. The pufferfish slices in your Japanese restaurant are pretty good.”Li Jiu raised his eyebrows.
"Thank you for the compliment." Zero smiled and walked forward cautiously and excitedly with both hands holding a knife.
"Why are you rushing to die?" Li Jiu shook his head slightly. He held the knife in one hand and pointed the tip of the knife diagonally to the ground.
"Qing!"
The sound of short blades colliding rang out.
The two figures passed by each other.
"Impressive."
Zero revealed an excited smile. A line of blood appeared on her neck and she fell to the ground.
"Now."
"Madam Cynthia, what should you do?”
Li Jiu held his knife, a mocking smile on his face as he looked at Miss Adjudicator, who was clenching her fists and pretending to be calm.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.
Gradually, the rain fell onto the blood-red blade, mixed with blood, and slid down the blade.
Drip! Drip!
Drip! Drip!
The sound of blood falling on the ground was like the bell of death.
"Gao Zhuo won't let you off." Cynthia's grayish-brown eyes were fixed on Li Jiu.
" Unfortunately, your answer is wrong."
Li Jiu shook his head and raised the knife in his hand.
......
Boom!
Another bolt of lightning streaked across the dark night sky.
"Why isn't he back yet?"
Mathilda curled up on the sofa with the blanket in her arms, staring at the door with her big, beautiful eyes.
"Kacha."
Li Jiu opened the door and entered the house.
Looking at Mathilda, who was curled up into a ball, he went forward and pinched her nose.
"It's raining today and the weather is so cold. Why didn't you go back to your room and wait?”
"I wanted to see you earlier." Mathilda clung to Lee Jiu's body, her eyes filled with indescribable attachment.
"Then you can go to sleep now."
Li Jiu rolled his eyes and picked up the girl by her waist.
When they reached Mathilda's room, Lee Jiu put her down.
"There's thunder outside today. Let's sleep together.”
Mathilda lay on the blanket and held Li Jiu's hand tightly.
"Again."
Li Jiu shook his head and said helplessly,"I'll go take a shower first. Wait a moment."”
"Yes, yes."
Mathilda nodded obediently and secretly made a victory sign behind her back.
......
The next day.
Li Jiu opened his eyes and lifted Mathilda, who had climbed onto his body and wrapped herself tightly around him.
Lucius, I'm so sleepy."
"I don't have to go to school today. Let me sleep a little longer.”
Mathilda rubbed her eyes and yawned.
"I'll give you ten minutes."
"Otherwise, cancel the plan to go to the amusement park.”
Li Jiu stood up and stretched his body, pulling open the curtains.
After the heavy rain last night, the sky was exceptionally clear and pure.
However, there were a few white clouds floating near the sun, making the sunlight warm and not blinding.
"Oh."
Mathilda replied listlessly. It took her a while to react and sit up abruptly.
"Really? Are we going to the amusement park today?”
"If you don't get up, you won't go." Looking at Mathilda's cute and dazed appearance, Li Jiu leaned over and pinched her smooth, fair face.
"I'll wash up immediately."
Mathilda screamed in surprise and ran barefoot to the bathroom.
Li Jiu laughed and shook his head.
Taking Mathilda to the amusement park was also a last-minute idea.
After all, he was going to the next world soon.
Although he had the space-time node, he could spend experience points to return. Moreover, the time he returned was the moment he left.
However, he might not be able to see this cute girl for a long time.
"I'm done."
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Mathilda hurriedly ran out, afraid that Lee Jiu would go back on his word.
But even so, she still looked youthful and beautiful.
"Then you go and change your clothes. I'll go brush my teeth and wash my face.”
Looking at the girl who wanted to drag him away immediately, Li Jiu walked into the bathroom speechlessly.
"Then hurry up."
Mathilda shouted.
Give it back to me quickly. It's already good enough that you can change your clothes in an hour.
Li Jiu was speechless.
No matter what age a woman was, she would never have the concept of time in her mind when changing clothes.
The truth was similar to what he had guessed.
By the time the two of them left, it was already an hour and a half later.
"Does this dress really look good? I still think that red dress looks better.”
Mathilda held Li Jiu's arm, her tone a little conflicted.
"You look good now."
Li Jiu nodded numbly.
In the past hour and a half, Mathilda had asked this question countless times, and he had answered it countless times.
Of course, he was telling the truth.
Mathilda was indeed very beautiful.
She had a pair of big, bright eyes that looked like they could talk. Her long eyelashes were hanging down beautifully, and her nose was arched high. Her fair, oval face was slightly pink, and her cherry lips were red. There was a hint of maturity in her innocence.
She was almost as tall as Li Jiu's shoulders, and her legs were long and straight. She wore a black pleated skirt that made her thighs look exceptionally fair.
"Alright then."
Mathilda nodded.
Ever since Li Jiu bought her a bunch of clothes, Mathilda's favorite thing to do was to change into different clothes for Li Jiu to see.
"What do you want to eat?"
After getting into the car, Li Jiu turned his head and asked Mathilda, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
" Yes, the desserts from Chinatown."
"That's Cantonese-style morning tea."
Li Jiu said as he started the car.
......
After playing crazily for the whole day, the two of them only came back at about eleven o'clock in the evening.
Mathilda held Lee Jiu's hand and tiptoed to kiss him on the cheek.
"Thank you, Lucius. I'm very happy today.”
"I'm very happy too." Li Jiu rubbed the girl's soft black hair.
"Then shall we go tomorrow?"
Mathilda blinked her bright eyes.
"No, you haven't done your homework at all.”Li Jiu glared at the girl who was trying to get away with being cute.
For some reason, Mathilda had no interest in studying at all.
If he hadn't made a few friends of the same age in school, the school probably wouldn't have been willing to go.
"Alright then."
Mathilda nodded dejectedly and looked at Lee Jiu pitifully.""Then shall we go next week?"
"Don't act cute."
Li Jiu pinched Mathilda's cute face.""Now, go wash up and sleep.”
"Oh."
Mathilda went upstairs dejectedly.
After washing up, the girl who had played for the whole day quickly fell asleep.
Li Jiu sat at the side and quietly watched Mathilda's sweet sleeping face. He opened the system interface.
He decided to transmigrate to Hong Kong now.
After all, he had fallen out with Gao Table.
With his strength, he wasn't afraid, but Gao Table might attack the people around him.
Therefore, it would be better for him to completely digest the supernatural knowledge that was unlocked in the library after the Machinery Modifier advanced to the Advanced Level in the next world. He would further increase his strength and come back to take down the high table in one go.
Host, do you wish to begin transmigration?
Lee Jiu glanced at Mathilda, who was fast asleep, and muttered in his heart,""Let's begin."
