Chapter 160: Lily's Fear
Chapter 160: Lily's Fear
As Irene smiled silently, no one noticed except Lily, who was keeping an eye on her with some fear.
'She is smiling again! Don't tell me she wants to do something bad,' Lily thought, watching her smile gently, which gave her shivers.
But before she could think further, Li Wei led everyone out of the villa, heading towards the North Plane, which was still covered in white snow because of him.
On the way, nothing extraordinary happened except getting surprised at the tight security in the city.
The reason was, of course, Irene, Wei Smith, and Diablo, who were wanted because of the commotion they created yesterday.
But this didn't pose a problem for Li Wei and them as they got out of the city without any suspicions, heading towards the North Plane.
When Li Wei decided to ask something to Irene, who was humming with happiness.
"Miss Irene, what is the good person test and how does it detect the crimes?" he inquired with a puzzled look.
From the time he came to the city, he has been trying to find out how it worked, but he never saw any books or someone explaining it. But there was a chance that Irene might know something, and he was right about this, as Irene looked at him with deep eyes.
"Brother Wei, why are you asking this? Don't tell me you plan to kill someone," she inquired with curiosity, making others look at him too, wondering whom he is going to kill.
Li Wei was speechless at their looks, but he shook his head.
"I am not planning to kill someone. I just wanted to ask because there are quests to kill bandits and people from dark factions, so how do they differ from the crimes?" he explained.
This was the thing he cared about, as they would meet bandits and people from dark factions if they decided to level up in high-level areas.
If that happened, a fight was inevitable, and he was reluctant to keep them alive because they tried to harm his party members.
Not to mention, he already decided to kill Bai Feng through all means, so it was important to know how the good person test works for various reasons.
As he thought of this, he looked at Irene, who pondered a little, before explaining.
"Li Wei, this is not something secret among high levels, so I think it's okay for you and your party to know this," Irene replied, looking at everyone, and continued.
"The good person test was created by an almighty person, which can show if a person has committed any crimes or not. And this can be done because of an illusion rune inside the orb that will force you to tell every crime you committed and why."
"Of course, you won't remember anything, as it will erase your memory about this, but it certainly works on every kind of race, and no one has been able to avoid this directly," she explained, making everyone stunned.
They didn't know there was an illusion inside the good person test orb, and no one has been able to find it out, but they soon noticed the problem.
"Miss Irene, if no one was able to remember this, then why do you know about it? Also, this test can't be avoided directly, it means there are ways to avoid it, right?" Li Wei inquired with a puzzled face.
Hearing this, Irene couldn't help but smile.
"Li Wei, it seems you are very interested in this. I wonder if you really want to kill someone," she murmured, her eyes narrowing at him the same for Li Xin and others.
"Haha, Miss Irene, why would I want to kill someone when I have no enmity. It's just that I am curious when you said no one can avoid the test directly," Li Wei replied with an explanation as he shook his head in denial.
"Oh, so you were curious," Irene nodded at him with doubt but nevertheless she answered him.
"The reason I know this is because the almighty person revealed itself, and this information is available in the library of Capital City. Of course, only high-level people can access this."
"As for the way to avoid the test, there are many ways, such as there are chosen people who can edit the records of good person test on you if you kill people from dark factions or someone who came after your life."
"These people are loyal to the country, so there isn't a need to worry about them helping the dark factions to sneak in. Not to mention, the dark faction doesn't even need their help as they get help from the 'Evil God' to hide their crimes," she explained.
With how the good person test worked, it will make everyone criminal who has killed others in self-defence, because of this there were chosen people in every city who can alter the test results after having enough proof.
The results were linked to every city, so there was no need to change again, and it was also easy for everyone to differentiate between good and bad people.
Hearing this, Li Wei nodded with an understanding look.
'These people are loyal to the country; it means they can alter the crimes of royals and nobles even if they did it deliberately or just for fun,' he thought with a calm look.
When Irene who was in front of him suddenly exclaimed with sadness.
"Argh, why there is no snow, it's all melted," she shouted thumping her feet on the ground with a cute angry face as she saw only water remaining everywhere.
This was done by the adventurers with fire skills to make the atmosphere return normal. They worked hard day and night to only make Irene sad.
"You damned people, just wait, I will kill you all for melting my future snowman!" she cursed loudly, threatening to kill them.
Watching her like this, Li Wei became speechless, wondering if she forgot one or two screws at home when he suddenly got a telepathic message from Li Xin that made him dumbfounded.
(Brother, look, Sister-In-Law is crying in grief. I think you should do your job as a husband to console her. Of course, you can choose not to do it, but at the cost of not sleeping with me for a few days), she suggested with a threat.
'Damn XinXin, she is not your sister-in-law. Also, does it really look like she is crying in grief? You can't lie to me like this,' Li Wei protested in his mind pitifully.
But he knew if he rejected her suggestion, she might really not let him sleep with her, so without any choice, he decided to console Irene, albeit unwillingly.
"Ahem, Miss Irene, why don't we head towards the higher-level area first? I will create snow for you there so you can create as many snowmen as you want," he suggested, making Irene perked up and look at him with big eyes.
"Really, you are going to create snow for me?" she asked with doubt, wiping her wet (dry) nose with a napkin as she recovered from her grief.
"Yes, I will create for you, but only when we are at a high-level area," Li Wei replied with a nod, not knowing Lily looked at him with hope.
'Brother Li, I also want snow to play,' she requested in her mind but didn't dare to ask directly, fearing he might suggest playing with Irene, which would end up with herself becoming a snow-woman Lily with the date of her death written on it.
'No!! I don't want to play,' she shouted with fear as she followed everyone inside the high-level area.
When suddenly Li Wei glanced at her, making her stiff.
'Why is she scared? Is she really seeing a ghost, or did she also want to play with snow?' he thought with a puzzled face and decided to let her play with Irene, not knowing this was the least she wanted.
As they were busy in their thoughts, Li Xin and others were also thinking of playing with snow after they are done with their class quest.
'Maybe I should ask brother to make big ice castles for everyone,' Li Xin thought to herself, thinking of making him cry in various ways, when her attention was attracted by Irene, who suddenly stopped in her tracks and glanced at Li Wei.
"Brother Wei, what kind of monsters are you hunting? Do you need my help? I can't do anything big, but for you, I can at least move a mountain or two. Of course, you should let me play with snow first," she stated with a proud look, making Li Wei's mouth twitch.
'Just say so if you want to play with snow all day? Why the excuse?' Li Wei thought, sighing inwardly and shaking his head at her.
"Miss Irene, you don't need to worry about the hunting; I am alone enough. Also, I will leave you a ton of snow to play, so don't worry," he replied.
"Really, that's great, then," Irene exclaimed with happiness, thinking of creating a big snowman.
'I want it the size of mountains, or it won't be fun,' she thought, humming herself happily.
