Chapter 37: The Peaceful Nation (Part III)

After successfully getting rid of Cagalli, Li Boyong followed the direction Athrun and the others had left.

"Ah, I still did it. After going back, I guess I'll be in confinement for a while..."

Thinking about how Cagalli might be jumping with rage now, Li Boyong still felt a bit scared, after all, he had played a princess of a country like that.

But if he didn't follow, he didn't know why he always felt a bit empty in his heart.

Was it because of Shihe, this variable, that he was afraid of unexpected things happening?

It must be that!

Li Boyong asked a few pedestrians on the street and soon found Athrun and his group of five. After all, work uniforms were relatively rare on the street.

But after finding them, Li Boyong didn't know what he could do.

"Tch... speaking of which, what am I doing? Sneaking around like a stalker..."

Li Boyong felt a bit awkward, scratched his hair irritably, and simply charged forward.

"Ah, you guys!"

Li Boyong ran over and shouted at Athrun and the others: "You've been wandering around nearby for a while. Are you looking for something? Or are you lost?"

Athrun and the others were startled and looked at Li Boyong who was coming over with vigilance. Yzak was even more impulsive and wanted to take action. Fortunately, Athrun was relatively calm, reached out to press Yzak, and shook his head at him.

Shihe lowered her head nervously and twisted her fingers: "What is this idiot doing here?"

Or did he recognize me?

"Hello, may I ask what's the matter?" Athrun asked Li Boyong who had run in front of him.

"Oh, it's like this!" Li Boyong put on a face of an enthusiastic citizen to lower the vigilance of Athrun and the others: "Seeing you wandering around nearby, I thought you had encountered some trouble. If you are lost, I can help you with directions."

"Thank you for your kindness, I'm just wandering around." Athrun replied with a smile.

"Don't be polite with me, we are all employees of Morgenroete." Li Boyong showed his ID card and continued to say enthusiastically: "Seeing that you are all young and became employees of Morgenroete, are you Coordinators?"

As soon as this was said, Li Boyong felt the atmosphere of the whole scene become heavy.

However, he still acted as if he hadn't noticed and continued to play his role as a warm-hearted citizen: "Don't be so vigilant, I have no malice. I just think you are all new faces. You must have just passed technical immigration to Orb not long ago and are not very familiar with this place, right?"

"Let me, a senior of Morgenroete, take you around!"

Li Boyong felt that his acting should be online. Athrun and the others looked at each other and let down their vigilance, and it seemed they felt they could use him.

Sure enough, Athrun proposed the request for Li Boyong to take them around.

"If you can, thank you very much. We want to be familiar with the facilities related to Morgenroete. After all, Morgenroete is a big company, and we want to start learning from the basics."

A slightly clumsy lie, but Li Boyong took the bait very cooperatively.

It was just that Shihe felt something was very wrong. This guy must have recognized her, otherwise he wouldn't have come over specifically!

What senior of Morgenroete, it was still a mouth full of deceitful ghost talk like that night. He was clearly a pilot of the Alliance.

What kind of trick does he want to play?

"Speaking of which, the war between Naturals and Coordinators outside is being fought very fiercely." Li Boyong led the way in front while chattering: "But this is Orb, without those disputes and troubles, it is a place where Naturals and Coordinators live in peace. You can say you made a smart choice and can live here with peace of mind."

"Tch, what kind of dream talk is this guy saying? Are the guys on this island all so naive?"

Yzak at the back of the team muttered.

Dearka said easily: "Isn't it just right that a fool is willing to lead the way for us?"

Shihe heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but complain in her heart: "I'm afraid that guy is treating us like fools."

Shihe was very nervous now, deeply afraid that Li Boyong had set some trap in front, but she didn't know how to remind her teammates.

Not good at words, she didn't know what to do now, just numbly followed Li Boyong and Athrun and the others.

It was said to be leading the way, but in fact, his understanding of Morgenroete might not be as much as Athrun and the others who had spy information. He was just fooling around while leading them to run around.

Athrun and the others didn't notice, just focused their attention on trying to get information from Li Boyong: "The news about the territorial waters a few days ago seems to be very big. I heard that the Earth Alliance ship is still in our Orb. Do you know anything, senior?"

"I don't know about that." Li Boyong pretended to be stupid.

"Ah, here we are."

Walking along the coast, he unexpectedly led Athrun and the others to the vicinity of a large facility with the Morgenroete logo.

"Can we go in and visit?"

Athrun asked Li Boyong with a harmless smile.

Li Boyong showed a difficult look: "This is beyond my ability. The management of entry and exit there is very strict. You can just visit nearby, and I will take you to the next place later."

This proposal was exactly what Athrun and the others wanted. Several people pretended to be looking at the scenery and looked for traces that the Archangel might have left behind.

Li Boyong saw that they were all seriously executing the mission, found an opportunity when no one was paying attention, quietly approached Shihe, and smiled at her with some guilt and some happiness: "Yo, didn't expect to see you again."

This guy, he really recognized me.

"What are you doing?" Shihe lowered her voice: "Since you recognized me, why don't you report us, but instead get close to us? What is your purpose?"

"Does Shihe-chan want me to report you?" Li Boyong smiled wickedly.

Shihe... chan?

The caught-off-guard address made Shihe not know how to react. After a long while, she whispered back: "Don't call me by that intimate name!"

"Why?" Li Boyong looked like a rascal: "Aren't we partners who have helped each other?"

"You!"

Shihe was choked with anger, not knowing what to say or what to do...

Or should I just kill this annoying guy here!

Shihe glared at Li Boyong fiercely.

"Ya, don't think about those dangerous things. When will you change this habit?"

Li Boyong was startled when he saw this expression and stepped back unconsciously. He remembered the scene where she wanted to self-destruct the unit: "If you kill me here, you won't be able to get away unscathed, right?"

"Then make your intentions clear."

Shihe asked with a cold face.

"I really just came to see you." Seeing that Shihe still didn't believe it, Li Boyong continued: "By the way, thank you for showing mercy to me a few days ago."

"Don't... don't talk nonsense, I won't show mercy to you, an enemy!"

Shihe turned her head guiltily. ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
