Congratulations on being an NPC

Chapter 71 Arno and Lane
"Not one of your people?"

The woman sneered, not believing Yano's words at all.

In her eyes, the people in the empire are almost the same, working together.

"You may not believe it, but all this information was obtained from the organization monitoring Irene through our intelligence network."

"We don't have any reason to monitor Erin."

Arno looked at the woman and reiterated.

"And let me say it again, I'm not your enemy, I'm here to help you."

"So, tell me, who is monitoring Irene? Which organization is it?"

"It's very simple, just think about it carefully."

Arno said calmly.

"Which organization attacked you at the top, that organization is the one who monitors you."

"You should be able to deduce from what I told you that the people who attacked you were not our people, but another group of people."

"In fact, we didn't know about your existence at the beginning, and we only got the news on the night of the attack on the top floor-although it was a step late."

"You should be very clear about this."

After Yano finished speaking, he looked at the woman.

Her eyes immediately fell into thought.

indeed,

She can be sure that she, Irene and others are well hidden.

Arno logically speaking, it is impossible to know their existence.

"wrong."

"Although we think we hide it well, it may just be our own."

"Actually, you already know us, not necessarily."

The woman said seriously.

"The reason why you think so is because of the sudden attack on the top floor?"

"Yes, at that time we also thought we were hiding well, but the attack still happened, which is enough to prove that we may have been discovered by you."

"You should think so, and you should, but..."

Yano shook his head and said to the woman.

"Neither we nor the organization that attacked you discovered you in the first place."

"Based on the information I have obtained, the interval between their attacking you and learning of your existence is quite short."

"Almost at the same time as I knew you, I immediately planned that attack."

As Yano said, he took out a small ball from his pocket and threw it.

The little ball left Yano's palm and flew towards the sky.

Then, it stagnated in mid-air and stopped falling.

"This thing, called Skynet, is a monitoring device used by the empire for self-defense."

"There is a huge network system hidden in it, which records the daily itinerary of every resident."

"As long as you know your existence and conduct a targeted search, it will be easy to find your whereabouts."

"Then--"

Yano opened his hand to the ball, and immediately made a fist.

The ball immediately made a beeping sound.

[Beep beep! 】

[The target has been found and will be uploaded to the cloud server soon. 】

【——The data has been synchronized. 】

After the alarm sounded, the ball immediately landed on Yano's palm and spun around.

"It's like this."

"As soon as your whereabouts were locked, those people launched an attack after judging an appropriate time."

Arno said.

He noticed that the woman's eyes had been staring at the ball, he was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately understood.

"Don't worry, it was just a demonstration. The data of this small ball is directly destroyed, and there is no upload function."

After hearing Yano's words, the woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, even if I believe what you said, when did we get exposed?"

"It's also a very simple question."

Arno pointed to the woman's head.

"Think about it, recall the recent abnormal things."

The woman held her breath, but after thinking for a while, she didn't expect anything unusual to happen recently.

Seeing her like this, Arno sighed helplessly.

"Are there any mistakes or omissions in the way you convey information recently?"

"You said this, of course—"

The woman wanted to deny it, but the words stayed in her mouth before she could leave her mouth.

She remembered that a letter was indeed missing a few days ago.

"It seems that you have already thought of it."

"That's when they learned of your existence."

The woman gritted her teeth.

"I knew it, we should transfer immediately!"

It's a pity that it won't help if it's an afterthought at this time.

Seeing the woman's expression, Arno secretly smiled.

However, although he still wanted to continue watching for a while, there was not enough time.

"Sorry to interrupt your thoughts."

"Because time is limited, I will make a long story short."

"The good news has been told to you, that is, you may have a new companion, then I will tell you the bad news."

The woman smiled wryly.

If this is considered "good news", then she can hardly imagine how bad the bad news is.

However, even though she was afraid to know, the woman still waited with bated breath for Yano's next words.

This is a matter related to the survival of her friends and organization, so she can't be careless.

"In fact..."

Yano stood up, paced and pondered, and then spoke.

"We have used our own intelligence network to inquire about those who are suspected to be your new partners."

"what!?"

When the woman heard this, she even forgot to breathe for a moment.

This is no small matter.

"This is bad news, and what's worse, since we got the news, it won't be too late for another organization to get the news."

Yano looked at the woman and said slowly and cruelly.

"Your organization has reached the point of survival."

"Well!"

Hearing this, the woman's heart skipped a beat.

The blood began to circulate rapidly along her heart, faintly making her feel the lack of oxygen.

A bad feeling hit her.

This feeling frightened her even more than the shot Arno shot at her at that time.

This is something more frightening than death - loss.

She has lost many companions,

It is impossible to lose more companions.

She can't lose Erin!
Anyone can,

only,
Not Erin.

"I'm done talking."

Seeing the changing expression on the woman's face, Yano almost forgot to hide his laughter.

"Now it's time to get down to business."

"About our request, do you want to agree?"

The woman raised her eyes and looked at Yano suddenly.

In those eyes, there was resentment, and there was hope as if he had grasped the last straw.

She knew that Yano was just for this moment.

"what is your purpose?"

she asked.

Yano wanted her to leave here even if he did this, why?
"I said that."

"I'm here to help you."

Arno bent down, stared at the woman with clear eyes, and said.

"I'm yours……"

"--partner."

The woman was silent for a while.

Immediately, her pink lips parted slightly.

"Tell me the content of your request."

"I agreed."

Yano heard that, a warm smile appeared on his face.

"of course."

"I am glad to."
