Chapter 27 - 27. Why do you kill people?

"Just like the woman you met, she is also an assassin." Cleo said, making Lucas surprised.

How could the woman in front of him say something like that?

"You mean... Cleo?" Lucas asked.

"Yeah, who else?" She answered.

Lucas squinted his eyes, he didn't completely believe what she said to him.

"That's impossible. She is just an innocent and simple-minded girl. "Lucas said again."

Cleo laughs in her heart. She only wanted to say that to be careful, but it seems that the man doesn't get it.

"Hm..." After hearing Lucas's response, Cleo is assured that Lucas didn't suspect anything. "Back then, she was a cute little girl, but the girl killed 20 people at once when she first arrived at the organization." Cleo said, telling him about herself as if she were telling the backstory of someone else.

"How do you know that she killed 20 people?"

Lucas obviously can't believe what Cleo said. After all, he can't just believe someone who is his main target.

"We both are in the same organisation. Sadly I'm just not as lucky as her to be able to escape and get out of the organisation." Cleo said, lying a bit.

"How did she escape?"

"She made a huge fire at that time," Cleo said.

She remembers clearly how she put the organization in flames when she first tried to escape, but she got caught and was locked away for a few days.

"Thanks for your story, but I can't believe what you said about her killing so many people when she was little." "Lucas said

I'm not asking you to believe what I said. You should just be careful. If you do something bad to her, she might get out of control. Cleo said.

Even though she can't get out of control, she just wants to act perfectly.

"Aren't you afraid that I would arrest you?" Lucas asked.

"Nope. Even if you do, you don't have proof anyway. Besides, you can't get out of this forest. Only I know where we are at. " Cleo said.

Cleo is right; he won't be able to get out of the forest; he doesn't even know the location of the place. He became more curious about where they are right now.

"Where are we? I don't believe that we are in the Amazon forest. "Lucas Cleo said, making Cleo look towards him.

"Hm. Just call it a "lost world." Cleo said. Lucas frowns.

What does she mean by a lost world? He is only becoming more and more curious.

"A lost world?" Lucas asked in confusion.

"I call it that." Cleo responded.

It's true. They aren't in the Amazon forest but somewhere else. a place that isn't on the map. That's why she calls the place a "lost world."

"Are we still on earth?" Lucas said, making Cleo burst out laughing.

She couldn't believe that Lucas would ask that question. It sounds so funny to her. How could Lucas ask whether they are still on earth or not?

"Nope, we are on another planet." Cleo answered. She wants to prank Lucas.

"You're kidding right? It's impossible for us to be in outer space." Lucas said, not believing what Cleo said.

Cleo can't help but sigh when looking at his expression.

I told you we were in the Amazon rain forest, but you didn't believe me.After that, I asked you to believe that we are in a lost world, but you still didn't believe me. " Cleo said, feeling a little bit annoyed. "I can teleport from one place to another as long as the place is still on earth. It's impossible for us to be in space." Cleo said, making Lucas nod his head.

He asked too many things.

"Hmm... can I ask you about something else?"

Cleo frowns.

"Why do you kill people?"

"Why do I kill people? Hmm. It's my job and I like it, "Cleo said. So do I. You have a reason for doing what you are doing now. To avenge the death of my parents, I must be an assassin. A life for a life." Cleo said.

But being an assassin isn't a good answer either.

My hands have been stained since I was little, so there is nothing wrong with it. We all have our reasons. You do too. " Cleo said.

"I am Shadow, an assassin. And you… Lucas is an agent who wants to catch me." Shadow

She looks so calm, as if nothing bad will happen to her after telling her secret to Lucas. even though she didn't tell him her secret. "What about you?" Cleo asked, wanting to know Lucas's story.

"Oh well... It's fine if you don't want to tell me. " Cleo said.
