Chapter 603: Acting Together

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

They continued moving forward. Lu Shu felt that he had no choice but to leave Jiang Feng. The waterproof mat only had space for three people. He wanted to leave a space for Lu Xiaoyu.

It would be worse if he made Jiang Feng get down to make space for Lu Xiaoyu.

The thousands of students who had come here were here to train. Wasn’t there a saying that loneliness clears one’s mind? Lu Shu felt that these Daoyuan Class students had become warlike after going through the military training. It was good for them to come here and clear their heads...

Suddenly, Chen Zuan shouted, “Brother Shu, look!”

Lu Shu looked in the direction Chen Zuan was pointing towards. Under a white and sparkling tree, Lu Shu saw someone crawling on the ground, desperate to get closer to the tree trunk. But on the mirror, he drew further and further away from the tree...

When that person saw Lu Shu and Chen Zuan approaching, he started to crawl even more wildly.

The tree had four or five white, sparkling fruit. They seemed extraordinarily gorgeous. But Lu Shu and Chen Zuan did not know what function these fruits had.

Lu Shu did not recognize the person either. He turned around to ask Chen Zuan. “Do you recognize him?”

“No.” Chen Zuan shook his head.

When the person saw Lu Shu and Chen Zuan approaching him, he immediately roared, “Go away! I found this first!”

Lu Shu raised his eyebrows. “Does it mean that it belongs to you if you found it first... so you belong to me because I found you, right?”

Chen Zuan gasped in shock. What was Lu Shu saying?!

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +66!”

“From Nogiwa Takahira’s distress, +666!”

When they were approaching the person, Lu Shu had received a wave of distress points. He could finally confirm that the distress points came from this person.

When Lu Shu was at the Beimang remains, he had already settled his accounts with the spies. After that, he did not receive any distress points from Japanese names. But here was another one. His surname was Nogiwa too.

Daoyuan Class students from all over the country had gathered in the Lop Nur remains. Lu Shu thought that he would encounter a spy, but he did not expect to bump into one so quickly.

But Lu Shu could not get rid of him without rhyme or reason in front of Chen Zuan. He knew that the person was a spy, but to Chen Zuan, he was a fellow student.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Collection of Gods was rallying their forces after they had been defeated. Many spies cut their ties with the organization. Some spies did not know what to do, while others heaved a sigh of relief.

The elimination of their organization meant that their original mission was over. There was a possibility that no one knew they were spies. They could use their current identity and continue with their lives.

Not everyone was willing to sacrifice themselves for the Collection of Gods. Not all Japanese were unafraid of death.

But did this mean that nothing would happen even if there were spies among them? Lu Shu did not agree. They could suddenly launch a bomb.

Thus, if Lu Shu encountered them, he would kill all of them as far as possible.

Lu Shu slid under the tree, as if nothing had happened. He stood up and calmly picked the fruits from the tree. He put the four fruits in his pocket.

Takahira, who was underneath the tree, angrily shouted, “After I get out, I will definitely report this to the Heavenly Network! Don’t think that you can take these fruits for yourself!”

Lu Shu thought about it and said, “Then I’ll share some with you. Can you keep a secret?”

Takahira’s expression changed. He suddenly said, “Sure. As long as you are willing to share the fruit with me, I am willing to keep a secret!”

Lu Shu nodded his head. “Okay. Keep to your word.”

As he spoke, Lu Shu broke a branch from the tree and threw it in front of Takahira. “Here.”

Chen Zuan gasped in shock once again. Did you think that he wanted a share of the tree branch? What were you thinking?!

“From Nogiwa Takahira’s distress, +999!”

Takahira was upset. “Are you playing with me?!”

Chen Zuan looked at the other branch in Lu Shu’s hand and was silent. “Brother Shu, is that branch in your hand for me...”

“Here.” Lu Shu passed the branch to Chen Zuan. “Good boy. Have a souvenir.”

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”

There was a sudden turn of events!

Suddenly, Lu Shu raised his hand and hit Chen Zuan at the back of his neck. Then, he turned around and spoke to Takahira in Japanese. “Since when were the Nogiwas so impatient? I have seen your records in Tokyo. Nogiwa Takahira. The organization is calling for you. After you go out, contact me.”

Takahira was visibly shocked. He calmed himself down. “Yes, My Lord. Who is that?”

Lu Shu patted Chen Zuan and spoke in Chinese. “Fatty, he wants to know who you are. Do a self-introduction.”

Chen Zuan laughed as he straightened up. “What was that glance just now? How was my acting? What were you guys saying in Japanese?”

When Lu Shu had asked Chen Zuan whether he recognized this person, he had glanced at Chen Zuan. Although there was no meaning behind this glance. Chen Zuan knew that something unexpected would happen.

Thus, when Lu Shu pretended to knock him out, he consciously played along with Lu Shu.

If it were someone else, they may not have been on the same page as Lu Shu. But Chen Zuan was very sharp.

Takahira could not understand what was going on. Lu Shu knew his real name. If it were not someone from the organization who had looked at his records, how could he have gotten his name right on the first try?

Even if it were a bluff, how could it have been so accurate?

“You have betrayed the organization,” Takahira said coldly. Takahira thought that Lu Shu was a spy, just like him. Now that the Collection of Gods was gone, Lu Shu had chosen to join the Heavenly Network... to be honest, this conclusion did not make much sense. But Takahira could not think of any other possibilities!

Chen Zuan was happy. He did not know that Lu Shu knew Nogiwa Takahira’s real name. On the other hand, he found the idea of a spy very interesting. “Brother Shu, he said that you’re a spy? Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Lu Shu did not hesitate. With Chen Zuan around, he did not expose Takahira’s identity. If Lu Shu had been alone, he would have killed Takahira long ago. Lu Shu hurled a lightning aurablade at Takahira’s heart. Takahira tried to stop it, but he was standing on the mirror and could not move. He could not escape even if he wanted to!

The lightning aurablade pierced through Takahira’s palm he had stretched out to protect himself. In a flash, Takahira was paralyzed by the lightning. Chen Zuan finally knew what had happened to him previously...

The lightning aurablade did not stop at Takahira’s palm. It pierced through his carotid artery. Blood flowed on the mirror.

“From Nogiwa Takahira’s distress, +1000!”

Before Chen Zuan could understand what had happened, Lu Shu took the branch from Takahira’s hand and passed it to Chen Zuan. “Here. He’s dead. This is for you.”

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”
