"Powder."
"What kind of powder?"
"The kind one should not breathe unless one has offended me."
Chen Qiao's face turned pale. "That is too vague."
"It is meant to be vague."
Lu Chengran looked at the packets. "Is it lethal?"
Tang Li Yue paused.
That pause told Lu Chengran enough.
"Li Yue."
She clicked her tongue. "Fine. One is an irritant powder that targets the eyes, throat, and lungs. It incapacitates but not fatal unless one is fragile or foolish enough to inhale a lot. One is a muscle weakness powder. It has a delayed effect but is good for making people stumble. The last is the poisonous one."
Everyone stared at her.
Tang Li Yue smiled.
"What? I did not say I would use the last one first."
Chen Qiao whispered, "First?"
Zhou Han elbowed him.
Lu Chengran's gaze was heavy. "No unnecessary killing."
Tang Li Yue looked at him. For a moment, something flashed in her eyes. In her world, that sentence would have been laughable.
Unnecessary killing?
How soft.
