I'm That 0.36%!

"Snowflake?"

Lu Li suddenly remembered the [Unknown User] from the earlier post.

Could it be that person?

Lu Li looked at A Piao, only to find that she was looking at him too.

Clearly, A Piao had noticed that gaze as well.

Lu Li suddenly grinned. "A Piao, Yangyang, you two go on ahead."

Yangyang asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Lu Li looked a little embarrassed. "That fight with Scar got me all nervous, so now I need to answer nature's call..."

Yangyang said, "...All right. Stay safe."

Lu Li nodded, watching the two of them walk away.

Activating Run Like a Boss, Lu Li sped away.

Of course, he hadn't left to relieve himself, but because of the person tailing them.

A few seconds later, Lu Li cautiously approached the bushes and froze at the sight of the striking, poised figure before him.

It was Sanhua?

Sanhua stood with her back to Lu Li, holding her Terminal as she spoke to someone.

"They're unharmed. There's no need to worry."

"Just as you predicted, Scar didn't hurt them... Yes... As you instructed, I didn't intervene."

"Are things all right on your end?"

"...Please make sure you protect yourself, Lady Magistrate."

The Magistrate? So the Magistrate arranged this. A Piao really must be important to Jinzhou.

She had even sent her own personal guard to protect A Piao.

"Hm...?"

Sanhua's gaze sharpened as she looked toward A Piao and the others. Where was Lu Li?

The person on the other end of the Terminal seemed to ask something.

"No, it's nothing..."

Sanhua put away her Terminal and was about to continue following them.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her shoulders.

"Got you!"

Sanhua was about to draw her sword when her shoulders were seized, but Lu Li had pinned both her arms in his embrace.

After that instinctive reaction, she regained her composure:

"Lu Li...? Behave yourself."

Although her words were stern, her tone barely changed.

Lu Li released Sanhua, allowing her to turn around.

Sanhua had been born with an abnormal eye structure and had no ordinary sight.

But after a Remnant eroded the frequency of her right eye, she developed an unusual form of vision.

That was also how she had determined that A Piao was the person Jinzhou's Magistrate was looking for.

Yet even now, Sanhua still couldn't clearly see Lu Li's frequency.

Even at this distance, she could only make out a vague outline.

"Why aren't you going with them?"

Lu Li said casually, "Because you were careless enough to let me spot you."

"I thought you were another member of the Fractsidus."

Sanhua explained, "Lady Magistrate sent me to protect you in secret. After all, Rover is very important to us."

"What about me?" Lu Li planted his hands on his hips and looked at her expectantly.

If he could become a partner of Jinzhou, his grand money-making scheme would surely enjoy smooth sailing, with nothing standing in his way.

After all, as the saying went, politics and business went hand in hand!

"...You're fairly important too, I suppose."

"?"

"Either I'm important or I'm not. What do you mean, 'fairly important too'?"

Lu Li complained, "Does calling me important have to be such a struggle?"

Sanhua pressed a hand to her forehead in mild exasperation. She truly didn't know how to handle Lu Li's erratic personality.

"Actually, I've already reported your situation to Jinzhou's Magistrate. She is quite interested."

Lu Li let out a long breath. "Good, good. Actually, I have a grand plan I'd like to cooperate with Jinzhou on!"

Sanhua asked in confusion, "What grand plan?"

Lu Li declared thunderously, "Let's swallow up the Fractsidus and the Black Shores together!"

Sanhua said, "???"

"I can understand wanting to take over the Fractsidus, but why the Black Shores too...?"

Lu Li said with some irritation, "It's all because of that guy Aalto!"

"Now that I've thought it over carefully, why would an adorable little girl like Encore hang around someone like Aalto?"

"The people at the Black Shores must have brainwashed Encore! Operation Save Encore must go ahead!"

Sanhua said, "..."

She sighed and shook her head. "The situation with the Black Shores is complicated, and they aren't an organization that commits all kinds of atrocities like the Fractsidus."

"On the contrary, they've been helping Jinzhou in secret all along. Most of Jinzhou's citizens simply don't know about it."

"Really?" Lu Li sounded somewhat skeptical. "In that case, we'll take over the Fractsidus first! We can discuss the Black Shores later!"

Sanhua said, "...If we're going to take over the Fractsidus, what advantage would Jinzhou gain from cooperating with you? After all, Jinzhou should be able to eliminate the Fractsidus's local forces on its own."

Lu Li said proudly, "That's where your knowledge falls short!"

"I know the heavens above, the earth below, and the ways of people in between."

"I've thoroughly studied the Four Books and Five Classics and mastered The Art of War."

"I understand yin and yang, the eight trigrams, and the mysteries of Qimen Dunjia."

"From within the command tent, I can secure victory a thousand miles away."

"Before even leaving my thatched cottage, I had already planned the division of the realm into three!"

Sanhua stared, dumbfounded. "Is that some kind of doggerel?"

Lu Li snorted. "Even Five-Star General MacArthur, all the way over in America, called me a once-in-an-era genius when he saw me."

Sanhua asked, "America... Where is that?"

Then realization dawned on her. "It's a country in your world, isn't it?"

Having tailed them the whole way, she already knew Lu Li wasn't from this world.

Sanhua said helplessly, "Even so, the Fractsidus has forces in every country. Its tangled web of connections is beyond what an ordinary person could imagine."

"So uprooting it completely isn't very realistic."

Lu Li sighed in frustrated disappointment. "Ah, a mere bodyguard with no tactical mind. Understandable."

Sanhua said, "..."

"Since you're so insistent, I'll report this to the Magistrate once we're back in Jinzhou. You can discuss it with her then."

Lu Li was overjoyed. "That's exactly what I was waiting to hear!"

Sanhua said, "..."

She felt as though she had been tricked, but she had no proof.

"Let's put that aside..." After hesitating for a while, Sanhua said, "Do you know why I can't see your frequency clearly?"

Lu Li said haughtily, "I told you before. I'm the chosen..."

Before he could finish, Sanhua patted his shoulder. "I'm being serious."

Lu Li's eyes shifted. "Oh, that..."

He asked the question on his mind. "Your eyes can see everyone's frequency, without exception?"

Sanhua nodded. "Bai Zhi's research report states that my frequency observation accuracy is as high as 99.64%."

Lu Li said as though everything had clicked, "Right, right! I'm that 0.36%!"

After hearing that, Sanhua remained expressionless, and a faint trace of killing intent seeped out.

Lu Li said, "Ahem..."

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and he hurriedly questioned the system in his mind.

After all, he had no idea why she couldn't see his frequency!

[Ding! Response to host! To ensure your personal safety in an unfamiliar world, the system added this protective function.]

[After all, everything on this planet has a frequency. This offers substantial protection for your privacy!]

"I see... Then can you make an exception just for Sanhua?"

[Ding! Response to host! Individual access can be granted! Please take care to protect yourself!]

"In that case, grant access to Sanhua, A Piao, Yangyang, Chixia, and Bai Zhi... No, leave Bai Zhi out for now! Just the first four!"

[Ding! Frequency detection access granted to the selected targets. Red alert! Please take care to protect yourself!]

"I, Lu Li, am never wrong about people! Those first four are all good people! If Bai Zhi doesn't slice me up, then she's a good person too!"

After finishing his conversation with the system, he looked at Sanhua. "Try looking again now?"

At his words, the Tacet Mark in Sanhua's pupil lit up again.

He had to admit, white hair and red eyes really were a classic combination!

Lu Li watched Sanhua's eyes widen as she examined him from head to toe.

"Well? What does my frequency look like?"

The light faded from Sanhua's eyes, and she drew a slight breath. "Your frequency is like the Magistrate's and Rover's. You all appear as you truly are in this world."
