That was a remarkably beautiful woman; by the standards of this era, she was almost unrealistically beautiful.
"Uh, Lady, I, I…" Luo En's Adam's apple bobbed twice. Somehow, he felt a bit flustered.
It was his first time seeing such a beautiful woman in this world. Silver-white long hair, a tall figure, and snow-white… *cough cough*.
Luo En, who considered himself a proper person, forcefully averted his gaze. He felt a bit strange; he shouldn't usually lose his composure like this.
Was it because of the transmigration?
"Mm, no need to be nervous." The Silver-haired Lady across from him chuckled, looking at Luo En's 'cute' expression.
"How kind-hearted."
"I like people like you," the Silver-haired Lady said, looking at the Orange Cat nearby.
"Ah?"
She lightly brushed a strand of hair from in front of her eyes. Luo En could even see beads of sweat on her hair.
"I heard you're looking for information on the Assassin potion?"
"You want to become an Assassin?"
Luo En nodded, not denying it.
"Why? Because you think the name 'Assassin' is cool, or powerful?"
"Isn't it?" Luo En retorted.
"Hehe."
Seeing Luo En's reaction, she suddenly laughed even more happily. It had been a long time since she had met such an innocent boy.
"I have it."
"What?"
"I have the Assassin potion," the Silver-haired Lady said.
"How much does it cost?" Luo En turned his head, avoiding eye contact with the woman. He always felt a bit unnerved.
"It doesn't cost anything, it's free."
"What?!" Luo En was full of disbelief.
He didn't believe there was such a thing as a free lunch, especially since a Sequence Nine potion cost several hundred pounds, enough money for an ordinary family to live comfortably for over a decade.
Could it be a benefit for transmigrators? Like an NPC in a Novice Village who gives out equipment?
"Of course it's free, but there are conditions."
"Conditions?" Hearing this word, Luo En actually felt more normal. No conditions would make him suspicious.
She tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, her soft lips slowly parting, and she spoke in a voice full of a mature woman's charm.
"That's right, I can give you the potion, but you also have to join our organization."
"Are you from the Church?" Luo En asked uncertainly.
"We are much better than those stingy people from the Church."
"What's your organization called?"
"If you join, I'll tell you."
Upon hearing this, Luo En did not agree immediately but lowered his head in thought.
"There are many beautiful older sisters like me in the organization, you know," the Silver-haired Lady added when she saw Luo En's hesitant expression.
"Huh?" Hearing this, Luo En felt that this organization seemed a bit… improper.
It wouldn't be the Sect of Joy from another world, finding some pure boys to…
"I can give you an advance, you know." As she spoke, the Silver-haired Lady pulled out a bottle of crystal-clear liquid from somewhere.
"This is the Assassin potion." Saying this, she walked a few steps forward and stood directly in front of Luo En.
Luo En was startled, and the ingredients in his hand dropped to the ground. The Silver-haired Lady directly put the bottle of liquid into Luo En's arms. Luo En could even smell her fragrance.
"You, you just gave it to me like that."
"Uh-huh."
"I haven't even said I'll join you yet."
"No rush, I said this is an advance. You can think of it as our trust in you," the Silver-haired Lady said.
"Is it really that good?"
"Normally, no, but today you get special treatment."
"How do I confirm this is real?" Luo En asked calmly, not letting joy cloud his mind.
"I have no need to use a fake. If you're uneasy, you can return the potion to me."
"Or are you saying you think I, your elder sister, would lie to you?" the Silver-haired Lady said with a smiling gaze.
"I…" Luo En didn't know what to say for a moment, but he didn't let go of the potion in his arms.
Seeing Luo En's reaction, the Silver-haired Lady smiled even more brightly, seemingly convinced that Luo En drinking the potion was a done deal.
"Alright, the potion is yours. If you've thought it over, drink it. I, your elder sister, will wait for you here tomorrow night at 8 PM." After saying that, she turned to leave.
She believed that this rookie in mysticism would never be able to refuse such a temptation. She also had to rush to digest her potion.
"Wait… wait a minute." Luo En just wanted to stop her but found himself suddenly dazed. When he came to, he found that only he and the Orange Cat, who was eating another fish he had dropped earlier, were left in the alley.
Looking at the potion in his hand, he knew that everything that had just happened was definitely not a dream.
...…
The Silver-haired Demoness, who had already walked several blocks, suddenly stopped.
'Was I too impatient?'
'Is it really okay not to watch him drink the potion?' Thinking about Luo En's reaction, she pondered for a while.
'Forget it, it should be fine.'
No one can resist the temptation of Beyonder powers, and this time was no exception.
...…
Rose Street, No. 69.
Luo En had returned to his room. Of course, he didn't come back directly but purposely took a few detours, even running to another block. He wasn't sure if anyone was following him, at least he didn't detect any signs.
The Orange Cat also came back with him.
Actually, Luo En didn't intend to bring it back, but after eating two of Luo En's fish, the Orange Cat had been following him ever since, the kind that couldn't be shaken off.
Left with no choice, Luo En had to carry it back.
"Let's be clear, if Mrs. Griffin finds you, then I can't help you," Luo En said seriously, holding the Orange Cat and looking at its face.
Although Mrs. Griffin hadn't explicitly said he couldn't keep pets, thinking of her strictness, Luo En was a bit unsure and planned to talk to her about it in a couple of days.
"The most important thing right now is this." Luo En stared at the potion placed on his desk.
Frankly, Luo En was happy to get a potion for free, but he didn't like the way he got it.
Moreover, once he drank it, he would have to join that organization whose name he didn't even know yet. This made him hesitate about whether to drink the potion.
"If worst comes to worst, I'll return the potion to that Lady tomorrow."
"But, it's free! Transmigrators should always have some opportunities, right?" To be honest, Luo En was really reluctant to return this bottle of potion.
Luo En opened the drawer, pulled out the Transmigrator's Guide he had written from memory before, and reread it.
5. The Official personnel in this world are very dangerous; they will treat you, the transmigrator, as a heretic and eliminate you. If you encounter them, be sure to pick up your pistol and defend yourself.
...
10. There are many beliefs in this world. You don't have to stick to the Orthodox Church; you can try believing in other existences. This might lead to unexpected gains.
Unexpected gains, does that refer to situations like today?
And Article 5 states that Officials are hostile to transmigrators.
After much thought, Luo En decided to drink this Assassin potion. According to the contents of the Transmigrator's Guide, joining a secret organization should not be a bad thing for a transmigrator.
That Lady was so enthusiastic, so it shouldn't be a very evil organization either.
Although it was a bit reckless, transmigrators should always have some opportunities, right?
Thinking of this, Luo En decided not to hesitate any longer and reached directly for the bottle containing the Assassin potion.
However, the moment his hand touched the potion, he suddenly felt dazed.
He felt a strange sense of incongruity or disharmony, as if fate was stopping him.
"What was I doing just now?" Luo En recovered from his daze.
"Right, the potion, I need to drink the potion."
Looking at the potion in front of him, Luo En picked up the bottle and was about to pour it into his mouth.
