FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

 

  Chapter 1 - The Cold Girl

The temperature was cold and snow was falling. In the remote mountainous area, there was barely anyone who would want to live. However, it was precisely in this place that a magnificent buildings' area erected.

Yet, a teenage girl around 17 to 18 years old was seen walking with thin clothes. Her steps looked slow yet also fast at the same time. Tying her hair to form a ponytail, one would not think of her any differently from an ordinary high school girl who could be found everywhere.

However, her indifferent and placid expression caused her beautiful expression to look like an ice princess.

The girl stopped before a gate. She looked at the two guards in front of her with her dark obsidian eyes.

"Miss Hua, you're here to meet Doctor Zhang?" The first guard asked with a smile.

Hua was not her real name. In fact, she didn't even know what her real name was as this was the nickname given to her after those people seen her result in the training. Coupled with her beautiful appearance, she did look like a young blooming flower.

Raising her head, Hua nodded calmly.

"Doctor Zhang is inside." The second guard had already opened the door and allowed Miss Hua to pass. He didn't dare to be negligent in front of her as he knew that even the slightest bit of mistake could cost his life.

Hua didn't even pay any attention to the two of them. When the gate was opened, she calmly stepped inside. Her attitude seemed as if she couldn't see that the location where she was heading was perfectly guarded and that no one would be able to get close.

The first guard looked at the second guard and arched his eyebrows. "Miss Hua has always been behaved well. Why do you look so afraid, ah?

"Tsk, that's because you don't know her real past." The second guard shivered when he recalled Hua's look from the video before he came here. He clicked his tongue. "If you dare to offend her, you wouldn't be able to know how you die."

"What are you talking about? There are no weapons around here. The military have already removed all materials that can possibly be used to kill people." The first guard was stunned.

The second guard snorted but refused to say anything. No weapon? Heh, a real assassin could kill even without those puny things. Their body alone was already a weapon.

While the two guards were talking, Hua naturally didn't pay any attention as she had walked inside a large cylinder building. There were no guards nearby as if it was an abandoned place, but how come there was no one who watched and monitored her? that would be a complete joke.

The first floor was empty and Hua directly walked to the second floor. The moment she pushed the door, she could hear the sound of yelling from inside.

"What the hell! I can't believe that Long Qian Xing fall into coma just from that small incident! What the hell with that crappy place?!"

Hua looked to the front and saw a middle aged man yelling at television before him. He looked terribly annoyed and didn't seem to realize that she was there. It was only when he turned around after cursing some more time did he realize that she was there.

"Oh, you're here, Hua! Why didn't you tell me that you're coming?"

Glancing at the middle aged man, Hua didn't give any reaction. "You have been notified."

Her voice was calm and indifferent as if she was merely stating that the weather was nice. The middle aged man, Doctor Zhang sighed but he didn't refute. He could never guess how she always managed to know even though he never even leaked anything.

"Fine, I was just too engrossed in watching this…" Doctor Zhang pointed at the television.

Hua could see the television from the corner of her eyes but didn't pay any particular attention to it. It was reporting news about someone who was wounded due to some peculiar matter and Doctor Zhang was paying attention to him.

Sitting down, Doctor Zhang looked at Hua with peculiar expression. He had been curious about her reaction since she was not raised in normal environment but rather, one that was filled with danger ever since she was young. Yet… she ended up being such an indifferent girl.

"Why did you come today? Do you miss me?"

"Today is Sunday."

Doctor Zhang felt like feeling his forehead at her blunt answer. Her task was to come to report to him every Sunday but this made it so formal. This 17 years old girl… was really...

"Is there any new progress? What do you think of this place?"

Hua blinked her eyes. "There are 87 people who are watching my movement. 40 are watching through the security camera, the rest watch directly, 32 of them are snipers who are pointing their weapon towards various spots in my body. And then…"

"Stop! Stop!"

Doctor Zhang was always speechless. If he let her continue, she would turn this into a military report. But in the first place… how did she even know how many people are watching her through the security camera, ah? It was not like she was a robot!

She was a human being! Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.

Oh wait… there are indeed 40 security cameras that were pointing this way at this time, so she might mean that.

"What I'm asking is about your feelings!"

Hua was exceptionally calm and merely looked at Doctor Zhang without any expression. "I don't feel anything."

"Still…?" Doctor Zhang was speechless.

Of course, Hua didn't answer him.

At this point, Doctor Zhang was so helpless that he wished to flip table. From all the patients he was serving at, this case was undoubtedly the trickiest one because they were not tasked to obtain information from her nor anything.

The order was to figure out the method to diffuse the mindset that was already planted in her by the organization.

One of them was to ask her to live peacefully here so that she would not return back to the chaotic battlefield mindset again.

But…

How in the world they were supposed to make her lower her guard if those soldiers kept on being on guard against her?

  Chapter 2 - Avalanche

But thinking of how dangerous Hua could be, Doctor Zhang also felt helpless. His gaze landed on the book that laid on the table. His friend had just sent that book to him and he read it on his free time and even specified that this time he was using a very special material for it.

"How about this, try reading this book and then tell me what you're thinking about it."

Hua looked at the novel and picked it up. Her movement looked slow and unhurried, which seemed very natural. The cover was a young man in the middle of a battlefield and Hua turned the book around to look at the synopsis.

'Long Qian Xing suddenly transmigrated into the ancient world. Can a person from the modern world survive when facing so many schemes directed at him?'

Reading it, Hua raised her head to look at Doctor Zhang. There was no change in her expression but it was clear that she recognized the name. Wasn't this the name that Doctor Zhang lamented at when she came in?

Doctor Zhang coughed. "It's like this. I really like wuxia story and well, a lot of them starts with the main character transmigrating either from the future. I asked my friend to write this one… *cough* However, I can assure you that the story is very thrilling!"

Hua passed a look at Doctor Zhang as if asking, 'Is it important?'

Knowing that his attempt to impress her failed, he coughed again. "Anyway, give me your opinion about the book next week. There's nothing else I can ask from you today."

Hearing his words, Hua stood up unhurriedly with the book in her hand. She seemed to be acting casually but the guards who were watching often felt that they couldn't follow her movement.

It was indeed strange.

"Captain, Hua is returning back to her room."

"Captain, our view is blocked."

The captain was gloomy. Even though Hua always acted like a normal person, he knew very well that her action was in consideration of their ambush location. Every single movement of hers was deliberate and even in her sleep, she would wake up at the slightest interruption.

It was so hard to handle her, ah!

"Captain, why do we have to keep her alive?" Another soldier asked with tears. He felt like he was going through hell the longer he was watching this one assassin who didn't look any different from an ordinary high school girl.

"Shut your trap! It's the order from the higher up and I naturally didn't know anything." The captain was gloomy. "What did she do now?"

"Reading."

"…She's really reading the trash novel Doctor Zhang gave her?"

"Yes."

The captain's lips twitched and chose not to comment anymore. Doctor Zhang was a specialist in phycology and in terms of human interaction but he could not understand Hua. It was why he was placed here to monitor her movement and gave report of what he found.

Even though he was a good doctor… there was a problem: he liked scheming story and also wuxia novels! Thanks to that, his best friend had tailored several novels that was written solely for him.

That novel about Long Qian Xing was one of them...

To be handing that kind of novel to Hua, he really wondered what was wrong with Doctor Zhang's brain.

Time ticked.

Inside the small cottage where Hua lived, the young girl was sitting with the book placed in front of her. She could easily read fast and no information was skipped as it was part of her training before. The content of the book in front of her was of no exception.

It was really a common story that could be found everywhere, though she herself had never enjoyed reading novels.

Hua's eyes suddenly narrowed when she finished reading the book. Standing up, her gaze was solemn as she looked in one direction. Without warning, her body swiftly moved towards the bathroom and locked it from inside.

*rumble*

Outside, the earth was moving at rapid speed. Just as the soldier was stunned at Hua's sudden movement, they were alarmed that there was a large avalanche heading in the direction of the secret institution.

BANG!

The large volume of earth swept everything away. The large institution was covered in earth completely, rendering any effort to find survivors exceedingly low. Not to mention… 15 minutes after being buried was the same as being dead.

…

Hua lost her consciousness inside the bathroom when the earth knocked it over. Humans were really not a match for nature no matter how much she had trained her body.

'Did I die?'

Even when asking the question to herself, Hua was exceedingly calm. However, she felt that her body shook as if someone was trying to wake her up. In the next moment, she heard crying and sobbing.

"Miss! Miss! Please wake up! Old Madam will not blame you for coming here anymore, so please wake up."

Old Madam?

Miss?

Hua was unfamiliar with those terms, but she slowly opened her eyes. Her dark obsidian eyes scanned across the ceiling and the room instantly. It was a large room with exquisite decoration. She was lying on a bed with a young girl lying beside her, crying and sobbing.

Not far from her, a young woman, around the age of 14 or 15 was looking at her with mocking expression with several other young women behind her not far in age. They were wearing loose fitted dress with long sleeve. Aside from the woman at the front wearing bright color, the rest looked paler in comparison.

It really looked like the ancient world.

"See, she's already awake! Are you going to make ruckus? You're just coming here to see Grandma and yet you faint after drinking tea. How ridiculous. Do you really think that we'll fall for your ploy?"

Hearing the accusation, Hua was not quick to answer. She didn't know where she was and even then, she was never the impulsive person. Sitting up, she could faintly smell distinctive smell of herbs.

Her eyes narrowed as she recognized this compound. It was… poison?

"Gee, now that you have woken up, you can scram." The woman lifted her chin.

The young girl beside Hua quickly bowed down. "Miss Long, Miss is just feeling unwell because of Madam's recent passing. Please forgive her for suddenly passing out."

"She's feeling unwell but still come here. Does she think that…" the woman, Miss Long, was about to lash out when someone interrupted her. This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

"My dear Jie Jie, it's still early and Grandma is resting.. Do you wish to wake up everyone in the residence?" a soothing voice came from the entrance.
