Lazily yours

Chapter 237: A Decent Human Being

"Without ropes?" Ma Ping widened his eyes. Were they supposed to climb a tall and straight wall like a lizard? He looked at the wall then into Lyca. "How?" He wasn't surprised to see her shrug.

"You think about it. I will give you a minute to talk. After that, I will climb and leave you here so the guards could catch you and I could use you as bait."

"You— "

"Hey, I think I have an idea." Gu Cheng uttered and pulled Ma Ping a few feet away from Lyca. Then he whispered something to Ma Ping's ear. Seeing this, Lyca glance at her watch. After a few seconds, Lyca informed them that they can start now. The one minute is almost up and she only has about three minutes to stay here before the camera would turn on.

The two looked at each other before they both run towards the nearest tree that should be about twelve feet away from the wall. However, its branches extend towards the wall decreasing the distance to three feet. Of course, this wasn't a safe distance where someone could just jump without the fear of falling. After all, the tree is not as tall as the wall.

One needed to be extremely agile and flexible to be able to reach the top of the wall with their hands.

Since Ma Ping is more athletic than Gu Cheng, he was the one who would jump first and attempt to reach the top. Then, Gu Cheng could follow him. This time, Gu Cheng would try and hold his body and use it as a ladder. He would use Ma Ping's body to be able to reach the top first.

From there, he would then help Ma Ping climb by pulling him up.

Lyca doesn't need to know what their plan was. Seeing the two concentrate on their task, she took a step back away from the wall. When she was already ten meters away from the wall, Lyca suddenly ran as fast as she could and climb on the wall without using any materials.

At first, Lyca thought that she would fail. She couldn't remember when was the last time she did something like this and she wasn't so confident that she would be able to succeed in one go. In fact, she even thought that she would use the same method as Ma Ping and Gu Cheng.

Surprisingly, she didn't fail.

Kidding.

Lyca failed.

On her first try. 

However, she was too lazy to climb a tree so she decided to increase the distance to twenty meters this time before trying to climb the wall again. This time she succeeded.

By the time Lyca reached the top, Ma Ping and Gu Cheng were already there waiting for her. She beamed at the two before suddenly jumping to the other side of the wall without saying anything.

Ma Ping and Gu Cheng could only shake their heads at her behavior. Who would have thought that this woman is very carefree in missions like this? She didn't even tell them her plan! All she told them was the fact that she would talk to the mayor.

"Ready?" Lyca said when Ma Ping and Gu Cheng arrived next to her. She was currently hiding in one of the bushes in the back garden of the mansion.

"For what?"

"Use your training," Lyca said.

"To do what?" Gu Cheng asked.

"To run… on the walls. If someone sees you just run out of the mansion using this wall. And run as far as you can." She smiled before she started moving.

The two just looked at each other, for the umpteenth time before they nodded as if silently making up their minds never to follow Lyca again without proper direction, entrance and exit plan, and most importantly, the real reason why they came here. Of course, this was something that they would take back soon.
