Killer Reincarnation
Chapters 18. Black pill
The two were now walking in the underground tunnel, Lien Hua looked around with a puzzled face.
“Lian, why are we here? We don't want to hunt or adventure, do we?”
“As I said yesterday, I want to show you something. And the path is just this, so keep hiding behind me. I don't want you to get hurt,” Lian replied as she continued walking.
'Why do I even resemble a weak protagonist who only relies on others? Really sucks!'
The still daydreaming Lien Hua was unaware of Lian who had stopped and made her hit Lian's back, Lien Hua held onto her forehead and turned her head towards Lian.
“Are you okay?”
“Y-yes, I'm just daydreaming. Sorry for bumping into you.”
“It's okay, come.” Lian clasped Lien Hua's hand and opened a secret door, Lien Hua confusedly followed Lian who walked in.
“Where are we?” lien Hua asked as she let go of Lian's hand, she felt strange with the number of soldiers standing guard.
Lian turned to look towards Lien Hua. “Hua, I hope you won't be surprised when you see that later.”
“That's it?” puzzled by Lien Hua, Lian looked at him with a faint smile. He walked back and made Lien Hua follow him.

“A-what is this?” Lien Hua stared in surprise at a huge ball floating in front of him, Lian turned her head towards him. He opened his fist and showed 10 small circles in black.
“L-lian, you don't cooperate with the devil right?”
“Hua, this is what I want to show you. Are you gonna hate me?” ask Lian.
“L-lian, this is not true right?” Lien Hua stepped back, she turned around and ran but the door was already closed by the soldier standing guard.
“Open the door!” Lien Hua banged on the door.
“Hua, I'm sorry. I don't want you to hate me.”
Lien Hua turned to look towards Lian. “You liar! I shouldn't trust people like you! You lied to me, Zhang Lian!!”
Lian chuckled amusedly hearing that, she stared flatly at Lien Hua. “Hua, I also don't want to do it-” Lian showed a small black circle and glanced at Lien Hua.
“But for the sake of getting you, I will do anything.” Lian walked over, while Lien Hua who tried to run away but was held back by some soldiers.
“Let go of me, damn it!!” annoyed Lien Hua while rebelling, but the soldiers did not listen to him.
Lian stood in front of Lien Hua while holding the small circle, she then glanced at one of the soldiers and gestured.
The soldier who understood the gesture from the superior opened Lien Hua's mouth forcefully. ”I'm sorry, Hua. But don't worry, you'll forget everything tomorrow.” Lian forcefully inserted the pill into Lien Hua's mouth, after which. The soldiers released Lien Hua.
The girl immediately sat down while coughing. 'Oh, look at it later! I'll make sure you're sorry!' Lien Hua stared at the floor flat.
'How now? I have to spit out the pills or I will die!'
Lian smiled at the devil looking at it. “Welcome, Brother. I've been waiting for you for a long time,” Lian said as she spread out her hands, a man in a robe appeared behind Lien Hua.
“So sure you want to get the title of Crown Prince.” Lien Hua who heard her voice felt familiar, she turned to the origin of the voice and looked at the man.
'Is he old grandpa? Em, it doesn't seem. His voice is more similar.. Zhang Xue??' Lien Hua looked at the robed man with squinting eyes.
“Ahahaha, Brother is right. But this time it's different, the pills I gave you won't kill Hua. The pill will only make him unable to control himself.”
Lien Hua turned her head back towards Lian, she still did not expect that her three-month-old friend was so evil. Even beyond expectations.
“Lian, I hate you!!” shouted Lien Hua, he stood up and ran out while slamming the door until it made a loud noise.

'Currently, it is troublesome that I have to pretend to be an innocent girl who is very easy to fool.' Lien Hua sharpened the dagger she carried, she glanced at the large door beside her.
'Just in case, I'd be quiet here if only the cloaked man needed help. Or maybe they conspire to go back to fooling me, ah Lilia. Forget about it, what matters now. You're gonna have to spit out that damn pill before the poison gets into your veins, but the problem is. How can I take the pill out? Spit it? Ah no, it's too risky. The pill could have been destroyed prematurely, maybe I'll find a way to get the pill out in the library.' Lien Hua sighed, she turned her head to the dagger she had been holding.
A faint smile rose when he saw the dagger in his hand that had been so sharp that it instantly scratched his hand even though it only touched the sharp part of the dagger.
“Perfect, with this dagger. I can kill more easily,” muttered Lien Hua, someone suddenly appeared behind her.
“What's up, old grandpa? Is there a mission I can do?”
“Lily, this time. The mission given to you is very difficult and also, maybe you will not be able to do.” Lien Hua who felt slighted stood up and turned her body towards L.
“Do you underestimate me? Old grandpa.”
“It's not so, Lily. But your mission is.” I gave her a piece of paper, Lien Hua took the paper and read it. His forehead wrinkled slightly when he finished reading the contents of the paper, he looked back at the silent L.
“Old grandfather, I am a murderer. Why would you ask me to look for information about the Crown Prince? It really doesn't suit my job!” annoyed Lien Hua.
“As for Lily, you want to accept this mission or not it's up to you. But if you accept it and your mission succeeds, you'll get a thousand gold coins in return
Lien Hua instantly coughed when she heard him, she looked at L with perfectly rounded eyes.
“A-what?? A thousand gold coins??” asked Lien Hua in disbelief, L nodded.
“If you accept the mission, meet your Senior for details.” L instantly disappeared engulfed in black smoke, Lien Hua sighed while staring at the paper in her hand.
Suddenly, a loud bang came from inside the room and shocked Lien Hua.
He immediately opened the door and stared in surprise at the now very messy room as well as some magic-induced wall damage.
“What, happened?”
“Oh, Miss. Are you okay?” Lien Hua turned to the origin of the voice and saw the cloaked man, he carried an imperial-symboled sword.
