Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 548 Someone is willing to go to hell with me
Yes, knowing that I was hijacked and unable to confirm whether I was within the target range, they directly ordered a ground-clearing bombardment. Doesn't that mean...

He really wants to kill me?!
"It seems you have figured it out."

After glancing at the ugly expression on the emerald-eyed girl’s face, Leon continued:

"Of course, if you really want to explain it, you can also force yourself to think that he has a way to detect whether you are within the target range, and only orders to open fire after confirming that you will not be injured by mistake.

But as I said, he tried to kill you at least twice.

In addition to the ambush on the Scorpio Branch Chief, he also issued an order to Atifi 00, requiring Atifi 00 to monitor the situation outside the Korok Kingdom at all times. If a target suspected to be me or other cleaners is found trying to leave, heavy firepower should be used to bomb them immediately until they are completely eliminated. "

After relaying the news he heard from Atephi 00, looking at Feliya whose face turned pale in front of him, Leon concluded:
“I don’t deny that he values ​​you as his sister, but you also have to know one thing: to him, your safety is not as important as it seems.

Although he will spare no effort to try to save you, if there is any possibility that you can escape from the Kingdom of Korok and be protected by the Cleanup Bureau, then he will kill you without hesitation... Do you agree with my judgment?"

"..."

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your consent."

After glancing at the silent Feliya, Leon asked calmly:

"So, now that you understand your actual position in the heart of His Highness Andre, would you consider cooperating with me?"

"?"

After hearing the olive branch that Leon offered, Princess Filia could no longer hold back. She tried to widen her emerald eyes and shouted frantically:

"Is there something wrong with you?

If you hadn't kidnapped me, would things have gotten to this point? You actually had the nerve to ask me if I wanted to cooperate with you?"

"Any questions?"

Leon raised his eyebrows and asked back:

"He wants to kill me, and I want to kill him, so he and I are enemies; and now he wants to kill you too, so why can't you turn around and work with me to kill him?"

"You...this isn't how it's calculated!"

Lyon's overly simplistic and crude logic confused her mind. After thinking for a while, the emerald-eyed girl stamped her feet and argued angrily:
"If it weren't for you, he wouldn't want to kill me! And if I could be rescued, he wouldn't attack me. So as long as I wait for you to be defeated by him, I can be saved. Why should I cooperate with you?"

"Hmm...that makes sense."

After listening carefully to the words of the emerald-eyed girl, Leon nodded in agreement, then took out the [Silver Cutting Dagger] and placed it against her heart, then he suggested seriously:
"In this way, I can leave some tricks on you in advance, such as using this knife to cut your heart open while you are still alive, but not putting it back together. And as long as I destroy this knife before I die, the ability left on your cut will be invalid, and I guarantee that if I die, you will die too.

Now, you can either choose to cooperate with me and defeat Andre, and maybe both you and him can survive, or give up cooperation and watch me lose, and then die with me, while Andre, who tried to kill you twice, can survive... Which result do you prefer?"

This guy... is simply a devil!
Looking at Leon in front of her, whose tone was calm and steady, but whose every word was like a knife, constantly stirring up the dark thoughts in her heart, the emerald-eyed girl felt a chill running up her back.

After subconsciously taking a half step back and getting away from the knife tip pressing against her skin, Filia reached out to cover the clothes that were cut on her chest and gritted her teeth and said:

"I...I choose the second one! Brother Andre doesn't really want to kill me, he has his own reasons! Rather than living by betraying him, I would rather die with you!"

Any hardship?
After looking at the goat head in the emerald-eyed girl's arms, and getting the answer of "this is the truth" from the black goat's winking eyes, Leon nodded slightly, and then asked again:

"So, you and Prince Andre are both members of the organization that targets the royal family?"

"?!!!"

Seeing that Leon had revealed the biggest secret he had been hiding, the emerald-eyed girl couldn't help but shudder all over and said in horror:

"Why... um..."

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to trick you. I'm really guessing this."

After glancing at Filia who suddenly reached out to cover her mouth with a look of regret on her delicate face, Leon shook his head slightly and said:
"Just now you said that Prince Andre had his own 'hardships'. My understanding of hardship is that if there is a possibility that you fall into the hands of the Cleanup Bureau, he will have no choice but to kill you.

This proves that there must be some kind of "constraint" on him, and the content of this "constraint" is most likely to ensure that the royal bloodline will be cut off. Who else could have placed this "constraint" on him, other than that organization?

By the way, based on my observation of His Highness Andre, he should not be afraid of death, and may even have a tendency to self-destruct. Threats of force are probably useless to him.

Then he chose to join that organization and agreed to accept such strict restrictions. Most likely, he got some conditions that he couldn't refuse from that organization... Would you like to tell me about this?"

"..."

No... I just said that he had his own difficulties, and you guessed so many things?!

Being numbed by Leon's sharpness, and fearing that she might accidentally reveal some fatal information, the emerald-eyed girl covered her mouth tightly, determined not to say a word to him again, but...

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it."

Looking at Filia, who covered her mouth with both hands and was guarding against him like a thief, Leon couldn't help but shook his head slightly and sighed:

"You are siblings after all. Blood is thicker than water. It's normal that you don't want to betray him. I understand."

"..."

Feeling that Leon seemed to have something else to say, the emerald-eyed girl held back for a while, but couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer, so she covered her mouth and asked in a muffled voice:
"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, even though there has been a difference of more than ten years, and you have lost your original brain, but in both soul and body, you are indeed the original Princess Filia."

In the shocked expression of the emerald-eyed girl, Leon slowly opened his mouth and revealed the truth:

"I had some doubts before. If you are just a core program derived from an intelligent machine, you can't have a real soul, and you can't deceive my eyes.

After asking Atifi 00, who claimed to be your aunt, I was sure that although your soul is a little strange, it is indeed a human soul.

You are Princess Filia, created by combining Filia's soul, which has been adjusted by soul coding technology, with an artificial Filia body. So you are not some kind of intelligent machine core. You are just yourself, a living human being."
