Chapter 96: The Arrival of the Text

  Fortunately, this road didn't have any forks, so it shouldn't be a problem to find Kuroko and the others without getting separated, which slightly put Riko at ease.

  It seems like there's nothing special along the way either, and after walking for a long time, it's just the same as before.

  Although there were several more rooms along the way, the ancient artifacts inside, although worth a city, would not spark the interest of the travelers.

  I thought there would be something unexpected, but it turned out to be just these things that people flock to and travel groups discard like worn-out shoes.

  In fact, when Lu found the crowd, he saw the disappointed expression of the travel group and couldn't help but wink secretly - the only useful ring in this ruin was already on his hand, so naturally they couldn't find any others.

  I don't know why the lawyer thought that the knight wouldn't say anything about what he had taken, and in fact the knight didn't say a word, not mentioning at all that the lawyer had once removed a strange ring from a secret room.

  When Kururun's line of sight fell on Ritsu's ring, Ritsu's heart tightened involuntarily, worried that if Kururun asked where the ring came from, he would have to think of an explanation.

  After all, even if he fabricated a reason, he would probably be seen through. He didn't have the confidence to lie convincingly in front of Kuroro.

  But Koro only gazed at Ritsu with a slightly deeper gaze for a while, until Ritsu felt a bit tense, before withdrawing his line of sight.

  He didn't join the tour group, so it's not like he had to be that tense, but somehow he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when Kuroro shifted his gaze.

  That kind of deterrent force is really too powerful.

  Lü didn't notice the subtle complexity in Xià Kè's eyes. Under Kulolo's simple command, everyone began to prepare to leave the ruins.

  It's clear that staying any longer won't lead to any surprising discoveries, so the travel group naturally wouldn't waste any more time here.

  No one noticed that Kuroba was gazing at the thief with a playful glint in his eye, as if he had an idea.

  "In the mysterious ruins, the spider will gain nothing"

  And his fellow young man will get an important treasure

  This is not a prophecy, Kuroro didn't have the ability to prophesize, but the thief Kuroba had recently come up with such words on his own, and then there was the location of this ruin.

  Oh? Gently stroking the corner of his lips, a hint of playfulness flashed in Kuro's eyes.

  I came here just to see if it's true. Who would have thought of putting their mind on a spider.

  Who dares to interfere with the actions of our travel group?

  Kululu's expressionless face quickly accelerated.

  Those who threaten tour groups will be dealt with severely.

  ——————————————————————————————————————

  "I'm starving, hurry up and cook!" There's no need to guess, it must be Wujin. Lu smiled and nodded, walking into the well-equipped kitchen.

  The whole travel group is temporarily staying on a small island for a while to rest and regroup.

  Although there is no hustle and bustle of a big city, the fresh air brought by the sea breeze starts to be very refreshing.

  The ingredients in the refrigerator are very complete, and dinner is enough for so many people.

  As for the origin of this house... cough, Lü said he just followed in and absolutely did nothing.

  Well, there are always times like these when no matter what you say, nothing will change.

  Lü knew that everyone in the travel group had consumed a lot of physical strength and urgently needed to replenish their nutrition, excluding the feeling of hunger.

  According to the recipe brought along the way, Lü planned to make a nutritious meal that he had never tried before.

  Lü started working in the kitchen and hesitated to look at the ring on her hand, wondering if it was afraid of water. However, it should be fine.

  Tentatively putting her hand in the water for a soak, the ring didn't change at all.

  With a relieved heart, Lu started washing the vegetables and then sorted them out into different plates that were prepared on one side.

  After bustling about for a while, the knight probably felt that Lu was too busy to handle everything alone, so he put down his game console and walked over to Lu with a smile, taking the frying pan from his hand.

  "Although I'm not good at cooking, I can still lend a hand."

  Lu looked slightly stunned, watching the knight's movements, and then couldn't help but laugh. He silently accepted the knight's help, even though he hadn't done much, but Lu still felt that his work had become easier.

  Maybe it's not just because the workload has decreased to some extent, who knows?

  Kulolo's hand holding the book lowered slightly, his face calm and expressionless, but the hand flipping through the pages was somewhat careless.

  Two people felt much faster, when dinner was served on the table, Lv was satisfied to see that Wujin, Shinchang and others' favorability value finally jumped to full value.

  It's so fulfilling. Lu Kai thought happily, is it really true that having a gap before getting something again makes the feeling even better?

  It's been a long time since I've had a meal cooked by Ritsu. The members of the travel group all look very satisfied.

  Ryūhen checked the favorability values of everyone in his mind while eating, and now only Kuroro was at 7 points, with everyone else reaching full value through daily accumulation.

  It's a great relief that the task should be completed soon, after all, there is only Kuroko left now, so if I focus on him alone, it should be much simpler.

  But Luffy was thinking too simply. Even if Kuro focused on him, it might not increase his chances that much.

  After all, it's a travel group's spider brain, and it's always more difficult to deal with than others.

  I don't know if it's an illusion, but Lü raised his head and pretended to casually glance at Kuroro. Just now, his line of sight seemed to linger on himself for a moment.

  It wasn't like this before, and it's not just Luo Tian thinking too much. Kulolo is indeed lost in thought.

  After such a long observation, Koro also didn't find any place where Lü would be unfavorable to the travelers.

  Of course, Kuroba's eyes deepened in color. If he really had that kind of idea and wasn't aware of it himself, his dangerousness would be even greater.

  It wasn't that he couldn't have killed him directly, but Kuroro didn't do so.

  He could see that Lute had no malice and Marji didn't sense any signs of Lute wanting to do them harm.

  Maki's intuition was never wrong, and Kururugi didn't doubt it. That's why he didn't make a move.

  But he was also curious about what the purpose of the law was. There were many places that seemed reasonable, but actually didn't make sense.

  So Kululu thinks he's very contradictory, like he himself is a puzzle.

  It can't be found where it came from, and there is no way to know why Pecanot's memory can't be seen.

  The corners of his mouth slowly curved upwards, Koro's left hand slightly rubbed against the desktop, his eyes seemed to be smiling but not quite.

  After finishing his meal, Xia Ke helped clean up the dishes. Then, Ritsu, who had some free time, was called to the study by Kuroro.

  Because this house is big enough, everyone has their own room, so the study is just a study.

  Rukia nervously followed Kuririn from behind, afraid that he would ask her what she was doing when she fell behind.

  The ring must never be given to anyone else, not even for a moment of hesitation.

  So what will Kuroro do next?

  He did something, yet he didn't do anything.

  Kuluo nodded his chin at Lü and with one hand lightly tapped on a book on the table, signaling Lü to come over.

  He sat down in the chair beside Kuroba and the book fell open to the page where the Traveler's Guild had just returned from - the place where they found the ring.

  Kululu didn't say anything, just letting Lutz read this book.

  A whole book, all about this one place.

  Lu looked at it as if nothing was wrong, but felt a cold sweat on his forehead.

  The one sitting next to you can be a thief leader who can kill without any burden, even if you have a system, it doesn't mean you won't be killed.

  So he should continue watching now and can only continue watching.

  Once you startle a snake while cutting grass, it may lead to extremely severe consequences.

  When Law finally finished reading the book, a faint laugh came from Kuroko's upper left side.

  "It's very late, go to sleep."

  She almost immediately jumped up from the chair, nodded slightly, and wrote a sentence "good night" on the board in a slow and deliberate manner before turning around and leaving quickly.

  When Lu returned to his own room, his clothes were stuck to his back because of sweat.

  Kulolo's attitude was unclear, and Lu didn't know when he would make things difficult for him. This ambiguous attitude that seemed to be there but not there made Lu feel even more uneasy.

  Lying in bed and tossing about, unable to sleep, I heard a faint noise.

  He suddenly turned his head, and Lu's heart rose to his throat. Not far from him, someone was standing in the darkness, and Lu, who couldn't see clearly and felt a bit tense, held his breath, but his hand quietly reached for the desk lamp on one side.

  Everything's calm and collected self-control collapsed when hearing that familiar soft laugh, her eyes slightly widened, that tall figure, the outline was so clear.

  "I've found you, Lü."

  Lü didn't expect that Sebastian would arrive so soon, it had only been a few hours since he received the ring.

  In the darkness, it was unclear whether Sebastian's face looked tired or not. He stretched out his hand to turn on the light, but was stopped by another hand.

  Sebastian's voice was low and magnetic, reaching her ears in an instant.

  "With this ring, it will be easy for me to find you again. So there's no need to rush into saying anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."

  He nodded slightly, but Sebastian still didn't know that he couldn't speak here.

  The next morning, when Lucien woke up wanting to wish him good morning, he found it written on the board that made Sebastien's face sink.

  "Can't you speak?"

  Because of this reason, Wenwen changed her name, it's mentioned in the script, hoping that relatives won't recognize her.

  Starting tomorrow, updates will be in the morning, sorry again for dragging it out so late today, hehe~
