Another ten minutes passed, and Number Four came out, having changed her clothes.
It had to be said, Number Four had a great figure, with curves in all the right places.
Even without makeup, her face was enough to captivate any man.
In my opinion, within the entire camp, besides Luo Yaqin, Number Four was the best-looking.
"Let's go, we should talk..." Number Four spoke calmly, her tone exceptionally serene.
I nodded, "Let's find somewhere else!"
"Alright!" Number Four replied.
Luo Yaqin clearly wanted to follow, but after a moment of hesitation, she sat back down in her original spot.
Having spent so much time with Luo Yaqin, she understood my methods well.
Now that I intended to speak with Number Four alone, it meant the matter was of great importance.
Therefore, she didn't tag along.
Number Four and I walked onto the city wall. At this time, quite a few people were still patrolling under the guidance of a mercenary.
Seeing it was me, the mercenary smiled and made way for us.
Number Four and I sat facing each other. The city wall was high, offering a vast view from our perspective.
A faint sea breeze, carrying a light scent, wafted over, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.
The sunlight fell on the sea, appearing full of spirit, vitality, and passion, which also lifted my spirits considerably.
"Let's hear it," I said calmly. "Why are you here?"
"Initially, my mission objective was to kill you..." Number Four hid nothing, her tone exceptionally flat. "But after arriving here, something in my heart began to change..."
"What?" I asked.
"There are no communication devices here, nor anything that can command or order me," Number Four stated. "Perhaps to you, this is nothing, but to me, it's a rare kind of freedom..."
"As far as I know, didn't Vixi just capture you all temporarily?" I asked.
"Temporarily?" Number Four glanced at me, a smile appearing on her face. "It seems you don't fully understand the situation..."
"What exactly is going on?" I sensed acutely that something was amiss.
"For instance, Number Three was captured midway, and so was Number Five," Number Four said with a smile. "But I'm different. I was cultivated from a young age!"
"I was constantly trained in all sorts of killing techniques and reconnaissance methods, until a few months ago when I underwent a special surgery," Number Four spoke slowly.
Hearing this, I was incredibly shocked!
Cultivated from a young age?
Although it had been a long time since we escaped from that place, it wasn't nearly enough time for Number Four to have grown up from childhood.
In other words, if Number Four could undergo surgical modification, it meant she was cultivated from a young age.
Then, how long had Vixi been preparing?
"Oh, and don't be too anxious," Number Four smiled. "Although I don't know the exact circumstances, many people were sent away before undergoing surgery. Those individuals were also very strong and had undergone special training..."
"But based on my speculation, I believe it's very likely because they were no longer of any use," Number Four said seriously. "And the reason I was chosen was simply because the timing was right!"
Hearing this, I was immensely shocked. Had this whole scheme been laid out many years ago?
Even if Vixi had not left that place, there were still people preserving his physical body and paving the way for everything that followed.
If that were the case, the forces behind this guy were far more extensive than imagined!
"There's no need for me to hide this. If you want to verify the truth, I suggest you find Number One," Number Four said with a smile. "Although he's stingy, he's incredibly skilled when it comes to intelligence!"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on my face.
There were many questions I couldn't definitively answer myself, but if Number One were around, these would no longer be issues.
"Freedom might be something I yearn for, but at the same time, I also wish to have some friends," Number Four said, a hint of loneliness flickering in the depths of her eyes before vanishing.
Seeing this, I didn't speak immediately.
"I discussed it with Number One before, but he wanted to observe the situation," Number Four said with a smile. "I searched for a long time before finally figuring out this place!"
"I know very well that anyone my father values as an opponent must not be simple!" Number Four continued. "So I decided to come and assess the situation first..."
"I originally thought it would be a simple inquiry, but then many things happened," Number Four chuckled. "And now, I'm gradually growing fond of this place..."
