Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 227

After leaving the hospital, Fang Li immediately returned to his dorm room and opened his laptop computer.

“Ding Dong...”

Almost as soon as Fang Li opened his laptop, an email came in, causing the computer to emit a pleasant notification sound.

Fang Li immediately clicked on the email. However, the anticipated information was nowhere to be found in the email.

Instead, there was a slideshow.

In the slideshow, a cartoon character that looked remarkably like Riko was dancing and singing.

The appearance, the voice— everything was identical to Riko.

“This is...”

For a moment, Fang Li found himself both amused and exasperated.

He had been mentally prepared to see astonishing information, but he hadn’t expected to open his computer and find something like this.

“This must be something Riko made herself, right?”

It had Riko’s style written all over it, without a doubt.

Naturally, Riko had a great affinity for these types of animated cartoons, even frequently indulging in playing beautiful girl games, in other words, she was an otaku girl.

It was only natural that she could create such a slideshow, so it wasn’t particularly surprising.

“Although it’s not bad, now probably isn’t the time for this kind of thing, right?” Fang Li felt somewhat uncertain as he looked at the computer screen.

At this point, even Riko should know that he was serious, so sending something like this to brush him off wasn’t really appropriate, right?

Just as Fang Li was feeling perplexed, within the slideshow, the cartoon Riko who was singing and dancing caught his eye.

In an instant, Fang Li’s heart stirred.

“Could it be... this is it?”

Fang Li finally remembered something.

Previously, Riko had pestered Fang Li to play a game with her.

It was a dancing game.

In this game, dance moves were executed not by controlling characters but by typing letters.

Each letter corresponded to a specific dance move.

What players needed to do was manipulate the keyboard, editing letters at the start of the music to create dance moves that the game character would perform.

In the end, the player who could continuously dance to the music’s conclusion would receive a score, and the one with the higher score would win.

There was no doubt that it was a demanding game.

Players not only needed to memorize which letter corresponded to which dance move but also had to use these remembered letters to compose dances to random music.

At that time, Riko had fooled Fang Li into not understanding the rules and cruelly tormented him in various ways. This finally led Fang Li to become furious. That night, after returning home, he thoroughly understood the game’s rules, memorized the sequence of letters and dance moves, and planned to seek revenge the next day.

Unfortunately, even though Fang Li had memorized the letters and their corresponding dance moves, he was still no match for Riko, the die-hard otaku girl.

However, Fang Li had completely understood the game’s rules back then.

And now, in the slideshow Riko had sent, there was a section of repetitive dance moves.

“If these dance moves were translated into the letters from that game, could the letters possibly form useful information?”

With this thought in mind, Fang Li immediately grabbed a pen and paper from the table and began to translate each dance move from the slideshow into the corresponding letters he had memorized.

After about ten minutes, Fang Li looked at the paper in his hand, and his lips slowly curled into a smile.

“Riko really knows how to play around...”

On the paper in Fang Li’s hand, the letters had formed useful information one by one.

“Is this French?”

After all, Arsène Lupin was French. As his great-granddaughter, Riko was naturally half-French as well.

“And the information isn’t complete yet.”

Riko probably intended to share all the information she knew with Fang Li. The emails she sent to Fang Li’s computer weren’t just one.

Each of these emails came with a slideshow.

If Fang Li were to translate all of them, he would likely be quite busy.

“But I have to admit that this is safer.”

After all, Riko was conveying information about a secret organization that major countries around the world had to be wary of. Sending such information in a carefree manner through emails would be too risky.

Now, Fang Li opened the next slideshow and continued with the translation.

This translation occupied Fang Li’s entire day.

By the time evening arrived, Aria burst into Fang Li’s room and saw piles of intelligence reports on his desk.

“Are these all I-U’s intelligence reports?”

Staring at the reports in her hand, Aria was truly stunned.

“Don’t speak casually about it.” Fang Li organized the reports and reminded her, “If people from I-U find out that Riko betrayed them, she’ll be in big trouble.”

“And what about you?” Aria’s expression became serious, somewhat concerned, and she continued, “If people from this country find out that you’ve secretly collected so much intelligence on I-U, you’ll definitely be targeted as well.”

“Let them come after me when the time comes.” Fang Li shrugged before he stood up, and told Aria, “Anyway, I’m going to prepare. You just stay at home obediently.”

After speaking, Fang Li was about to leave, but Aria grabbed onto his clothes.

“Are you really planning to infiltrate I-U’s headquarters?” Aria stared intently at Fang Li, with an unprecedentedly serious expression on her face.

However, Fang Li wouldn’t waver either.

“I’ve already made up my mind.” Fang Li met Aria’s gaze without flinching and said, “Don’t stop me.”

Aria fell silent instantly.

After a while, Aria seemed to give up something, her expression returning to a carefree demeanor as she spoke while facing Fang Li, “If that’s the case then I’ll go with you.”

“Go with me?” Fang Li was immediately taken aback.

“This is a good opportunity.” As if she had made up her mind, Aria said without hesitation, “People from I-U have caused my mother to bear so much false blame. This time, I’ll arrest all of them, clear my mother’s name, and grant her freedom.”

“You told me not to stop you, right? So don’t stop me!” Aria’s crimson eyes glittered with determination as she repeated Fang Li’s words back to him word by word and added. “We’re partners, after all.”

This time, it was Fang Li who fell silent.

After a while, Fang Li finally said, “This time, our enemies aren’t just individual criminals; they’re an entire criminal organization. You should know that every person within it possesses power comparable to or even surpassing Riko’s.”

“It’s fine.” Aria’s cute, charming face displayed a meaningful smile as she said, “I’ll also prepare my trump cards.”

“Trump cards?” Fang Li wasn’t sure what Aria was referring to.

However, since Aria had her reasons, Fang Li had no right to stop her.

And so, the members for the Assault were decided.
