Double Moon - Chapter 49

I checked around again to make sure that nothing was left out. I unintentionally opened the drawer below the surface of the table in front of me. Then, I found a folded scroll. It was lying alone inside the drawer. I opened it.

“A map, huh?” I whispered to myself.

This map was more detailed than the ones from the bandits. It is the map of starlight city with northern death and southern blood zone marked out. Then, the whole of other areas marked as the surface had five metropolis and many towns. The cities were also embedded with universities.

Ma Liu Shiu city in the west, Sha Tin in the east, Chen Yu in the North, and Chung Chi in the South. However, Jong Ji City sat in the middle of the surface. These five cities were like cobwebs as they were connected to each other. There were other towns naturally in these big cities. ‘For example, I am still in Ma Liu Shiu city but in Anqing town.’

I nodded in satisfaction with the discovery of the map. ‘My movement would be smoother.’

After a while, I walked out of the house. It was already twilight. ‘Where would my movement lead to now?’ I sighed deeply.

“Should I move north or south,” I loudly whispered as I contemplated. However, before I could hear myself, a voice whispered back.

“Let us go to our headquarter. If you are contemplating where to put your human friend after you save her. Our headquarter should be the best place. So that you can relax your mind when fighting.” The spokesman said.

The speech followed with two people appearing. A male and female. They were naturally those two. Qiquiang Sueh-yen and Qing Yuan. ‘Why are they still here? Where are they waiting for me?’ These were naturally my thought as I gazed at them with suspicion.

“And why should I believe you? Sorry, I don’t trust even the gods now. They put this burden on me and made me the enemy of everyone.” I retorted. At this moment, I’d concluded, and as a result, south zone was the determined option for my journey. ‘I can think of the rest when I succeed in getting her back.’ I thought.

“We will negotiate for her to be brought back. She is a human, after all. We cannot allow the wolves and hunters to use our humans and manipulate them the way they want. However, we can not guarantee that we will succeed, but it will show our sincerity. We have the same enemies as yourself, after all.” Qiquiang Sueh-yen spoke with a lazy expression as he yawned slightly. Signaling that he wanted to rest from the tedious work.

“But Sueh-yen, why are we begging this bitch? We can just do whatever we want and let her do what she wants. Isn’t that simple?” Qing Yuan spoke with dissatisfaction.

“Well, that won’t work. The superiors insisted on bringing this person back. They said she was an important part of the plan. Else, why would I be wasting my sleep time talking rubbish? It can’t be helped.”

Qing Yuan snorted coldly. It was as though she couldn’t understand why the superior would bet on a lowly bitch so much. In a way, she felt this reduced her value and made me more invaluable than her.

“You said that. However, don’t you want to use me and finish your war with the hunters and the wolf, and after my value must have been exhausted, you will detain me or label me as the next dangerous being that needs to be removed from the surface, for peace to reign. I am needed now because our interest conforms to each other. Also, because you view them to be more dangerous than me presently. When they are solved, your attention will naturally turn to me.”

I uttered this statement calmly without any hint of confusion and fear. It was as though I didn’t care about these people’s strategies. After all, they cannot kill Nuan Mei as the hunter and wolves would do. So, their only concern would be me, and they can’t find me if I don’t want them to.

However, the human heart is treacherous. These people wouldn’t mind using Nuan Mei to threaten me just to get what they want. They would tag it as a necessary sacrifice to reach the greater goal. Those wimpy rulers who are more afraid of death than anyone would expect others to do great things for their country while they sit idle.

“That said, I don’t mind tagging along with you guys. After all, our interest is the same. Furthermore, that is not the only thing. I would have still killed all the wolves and hunters myself. So it doesn’t matter if some group of guys that has nothing to do gives me a hand. Also, when the time comes to hunting each other, we will know whether the country will hunt me or I will hunt the country. After all, I am no longer in the zone of humanity and mercy. Without a doubt, I had passed that state a long time ago. I will use anyone and anything to achieve what I want, and I will kill anyone who wants to kill me.”

“Then it is settled. Shall we move, then?” Qiquiang Sueh-yen, who had been listening with his lazy expression, suggested that we leave since we had come to a conclusion.

“I don’t want to sit on the same vehicle as her.” Qing Yuan spoke coldly, her eyes brimming with arrogance.

“Then sit alone. I will sit with our guest.” Qiquiang Sueh-yen was too tired to answer her. So he waved his hand for her to do whatever she wanted.

We walked through the bush, and soon we came to a tiled street. There were unique military cars, and soldiers were all there.

Just as we got there, a military man opened the door for me to enter while Qiquiang Sueh-yen entered from the other side. However, Qing Yuan unwillingly chose to sit differently from Qiquiang Sueh-yen.. The car moved.
