Chapter 902: Chapter 898: Two Extra Stripes

The memories left by the dominated are like ancient carvings on stone, they never fade away despite the erosive effects of many years.

"Why would she come here?" Finally, Tang Ye spoke up.

Hatred glanced at him with an indescribable expression and said, "Marshal, have you forgotten? The person I mentioned last time who was looking for you is her."

"Oh~"

Tang Ye responded with a complex tone, knowing exactly why this woman had come to find him. To be more precise, she was not here to seek him out but to find Li Henian.

Her brother was Li Henian, and he was using the name Li Henian.

Tang Ye withdrew his gaze, turned around, and whispered to Hatred, "Send someone to drive her away, I’ll use the back door."

"Drive her away? Why? Besides, she’s now with the Peace Party."

"She’s now with the Peace Party?" Tang Ye’s eyes suddenly widened.

"Yes."

"Who approved her joining? You?"

Hatred was somewhat flustered and finally nodded.

"Why?"

"I noticed she had good abilities, so..." Hatred said somewhat guiltily.

Tang Ye looked at him intently, his tone changing, "Really?"

"Uh... actually, I promised her something."

"What?"

"Back at the Qinshan Base, I died once. A big reason I came back to life was because of her. Afterwards, I promised her something. She didn’t specify, just said she would contact me when she needed me."

"So she contacted you, and her request was for you to approve her entry into the Peace Party?"

"Yes, she said she was looking for a truth, and it seems that truth is you."

"It’s me, forget it, just drive her away and don’t allow her here again."

"Yes!"

Hatred nodded, turned, and headed towards the Administrative Building, while Tang Ye changed direction, opting to circle around and enter the Peace Plaza through the back door.

Before leaving, he took a look at Li Qingtian. His eyes held a profoundly complex emotion—initially murderous, but this flickered away swiftly, soon replaced by confusion and bewilderment.

"What’s going on?"

Tang Ye glanced at his hands and then at the other soldiers patrolling their posts, his eyes filled with an indescribable expression.

For some inexplicable reason, Li Qingtian gave herself a very familiar feeling, which was peculiar because it seemed like she possessed something that made zombies feel especially comfortable.

Originally, Tang Ye had wanted to kill her, as Li Qingtian’s existence was undoubtedly a trouble, her brother had died in front of her, and the killer was none other than himself. Now with Li Henian appearing, it was difficult to explain everything, and not taking care of Li Qingtian made Tang Ye feel somewhat uneasy.

However, this murderous intent vanished the moment he looked at Li Qingtian, and a sense of guilt immediately surged in his heart, as if killing her would commit some sort of monstrous sin against nature.

Tang Ye looked at the others, deliberately sniffing the scent of life on them, trying to invoke his innate craving for flesh, hoping to transfer it to Li Qingtian. But just as he locked his focus on Li Qingtian, his desire for flesh vanished, although he could clearly smell the scent of blood and flesh on her.

He stared at his hands in disbelief, his mind tangled with countless questions.

"How strange..." Tang Ye muttered to himself and turned to leave. He had never encountered a situation like this. Seeing Li Qingtian stirred a kind of indescribable sense of closeness in him, similar to how an NPC in a game would have a red health bar turning pitch black, but then suddenly encounters one with a green health bar. Even though you want to kill her, you don’t know how to start.

"She’s obviously a human..."

Tang Ye squinted his eyes, deciding not to think further. He didn’t want Li Qingtian to notice him right now; the whole situation was too troublesome for him.

What he didn’t know was that just after he had left the front courtyard of the Peace Party Building, Li Qingtian suddenly looked up and turned towards him, then stood up and left. Soon after, a couple of Peace Party soldiers jogged to the spot. However, stopping in their tracks, they turned their heads, searching around for something, finally looking towards each other perplexedly.

"Where did she go?"

"I don’t know, wasn’t she here every day before?"

"Exactly, we normally see her every day, but the moment we need to find her, she’s nowhere to be seen."

"Sigh, tell me, why would Henian want to drive her away? Normally, keeping an eye on her was like enjoying the scenery, and driving her away just makes it boring."

"Hehe, what if she’s the Chairman’s lover? Played by him and ruthlessly abandoned, now she’s shown up here, I heard this woman has been waiting here every day just to see the Chairman."

"You might be right. Given how beautiful she is, only the Marshal could afford her."

As they spoke about this, a few of the soldiers started to chatter animatedly, one of them grinning gossipingly replied. But just as he finished speaking, the soldiers around him who had been on duty with him were suddenly silenced, yet he hadn’t realized what was happening and continued, "That woman, I’d be willing to trade twenty years of my life to have a turn with her. The Marshal sure is in luck."

"What are you guys... Uh, why? What’s with that expression? What... what happened?"

The chattering soldier finally noticed something was amiss, watching them with a puzzled face. Their expressions had suddenly turned serious, their stances stiff, as if they had encountered someone important.

Wait... Thinking of someone important, the soldier suddenly caught on to the keyword. Knowing the demeanor of his companions who were on duty with him, a sudden change in attitude could only mean one thing!

Suddenly, he felt a cold sweat running down his back, and in just a few seconds, his clothes felt soaked through!

Could this get any scarier?

At that moment, one of his companions made a very subtle gesture with his eyes, clearly indicating that someone had arrived behind him!

Simultaneously, his companion managed to weakly lift a finger pointing behind him, the implication was all too clear!

The previously chattering soldier turned pale and agonizingly slowly turned his head, a movement that seemed to use up all of his life’s energy!

Turning his head, he saw a group of Peace Party soldiers approaching them. Their uniforms were similar to his and his comrades’, but upon closer inspection, there was a difference. Each of their military uniforms bore the Peace Party’s Qi Sword badge, but their badges had two additional bars compared to theirs. Those two inconspicuous bars were what many unmarked members feared the most!
