I wiped it gently and confirmed that the marks were fresh.
"It looks like someone took the treasure before us."
I almost imagined a picture in my mind where several people were chasing each other because of uneven distribution of the spoils.
Of course, a powerful local force had to intervene and support this, causing the informant to be desperately hunted down and blood spilled in the grove. Even in the end, this organization would not let go of anyone related to the informant. This was to implicate the Nine Clans. ah!
······Well, why doesn’t something feel right?
The good brainstorming suddenly stopped because of a point that was completely impossible to explain clearly.
"If they really got the treasure, why did they squat around the informant's house?" I rubbed my chin and finally realized something was wrong.
"For them, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better, so after secretly killing the informant, there is no need to risk waiting to see if someone comes to find him, unless -" I swallowed softly saliva.
Unless the informant isn't dead yet.
In this case, it can be explained why there are people squatting around his house.
Or even if they are dead, there are still some things that those guys need, and it is obvious that those things are likely to come from this place.
After realizing the possible fact, the palace complex in front of me became more and more sinister in my eyes.
Although we wanted to explore it, the place was too big, and just half of the periphery already cost us a lot of time. On the premise that Grace could not notice it, we finally left after discussion. Here, we plan to take the time to thoroughly clarify the peripheral map of the nested space.
Grace arrived at the gathering place a little later than us. As soon as she saw us, she started to complain: "It's strange, there don't seem to be any new graves recently."
Why do the words "newly placed grave mound" become more and more strange the more I hear them...
"Really, we actually didn't find anything." I said with a smile.
Grace did not doubt it, but said a little angrily, "Damn it, I thought it was a very easy money to make, but I didn't expect the idea to be so troublesome."
"Please keep an eye on those two people in the hotel."
When I saw Grace, I suddenly changed my mind.
"Obviously the wanted criminals are worth more than the dead ones. Sure enough, I'm still a little worried after just knocking them out. It's best to have someone watching over them——"
"Are you going to do something big again?" Grace looked at me with squinted eyes, put her hands on her hips and said slightly dissatisfied, "At least find a better reason next time to suddenly let others do something. It’s very suspicious no matter how you say it.”
Seen through...
In other words, I took it too seriously and didn’t put enough effort into this aspect. Most importantly, I’m not someone who can talk too much, so in the end I had to deal with it with embarrassment.
"How, how should I put it, I think this kind of thing is still necessary-"
"Never again." Grace raised her finger and sighed, "Although I know that you have many secrets, I occasionally want to seriously integrate into you. I have never asked who Villier is, so you are Wouldn't you consider...telling me part of the truth appropriately?"
"...For the time being - it's not possible." Nolan Lusi held my shoulders and answered the question on my behalf, "You don't know exactly what we are going to face, so you get close rashly, maybe It will cause irreversible damage to your future."
Grace was stunned for a moment, her expression seemed a little lost.
"Isn't this too harsh?" I whispered next to Nolan Lusi, "Although I don't know her exact thoughts, to be honest, she has provided us with quite a lot of conveniences, so - —”
"I understand, that..." Grace leaned down slightly and said with a wry smile, "What you said makes some sense. Although I can give up something, every move I make also represents my father. , if something happens to me here, he will definitely be very sad, so it is indeed like this."
She raised her voice and said, "I can't give up everything, so... can I be considered an acquaintance?"
Girl, you have to think carefully, this is a road of no return, and you will not get killed if you lick the dog!
"It's not a big problem that you have a strong background." Nolan Lusi thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, there are some things that you really can't let you know. I actually don't mean anything else by saying this. I always feel that you seem to have misunderstood it. What - we do have things we want to do, but there is no need to involve others, that's all."
······Um?
No, wasn't it obvious that what you just said meant that you were going to leave? !
I don't know why my head suddenly started to hurt, because when I was thinking from someone else's perspective, I forgot what Nolan Lesi's emotional intelligence was.
I covered my forehead and looked at Grace, who seemed a little shocked, and took a breath of cold air with a hiss.
When Nolan Lusi said this, it was like writing the words "we are special" on her face. If Grace was just curious at first, I guess it will soon become a must.
"Hey, anyway, we have a lot of little secrets, but we just can't tell you..."
"Pfft~" Grace covered her mouth gently, her mood suddenly improved for some reason.
"...So why are you smiling?"
Grace narrowed her eyes and smiled and said, "I just feel that sometimes, it's not good to think too much."
What are you thinking about...
"Hmm - it's probably like predicting a lot of test questions after the exam, but the results are all wrong." Grace nodded her chin lightly.
Nolan Lusi turned her head slightly at this time and asked softly in confusion: "This guy, didn't I explain the situation to her? Why does it feel like she is more excited?"
"To be honest, I don't understand either."
"I heard everything!" Grace puffed up her cheeks slightly, "Please don't whisper anything in front of the person involved next time. What's the point of hearing the entire conversation?"
"Letting you hear is also part of the plan." Nolan Lusi pretended to be inscrutable, "As the saying goes, if you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive yourself, so - uh uh!"
Before her confusing logic came out with words that didn't apply to the situation, I smiled and stretched out my hand to cover Nolan Lusi's mouth risking her life.
"That's it in a nutshell!"
Although she didn’t know what Grace had heard, it seemed perfectly fine to end the topic with a strong conclusion.
"I understand." Grace slightly lifted her hair in front of her forehead and tied it back into a neat ponytail, "It's very simple! It's just a matter of keeping an eye on people, it's no big deal!"
Is it really no big deal?
I faced Grace with a smile, because I really couldn't think of anything else to do with it.
Maybe I should, no problem?
"You still have to be careful." Nolan Lusi said quite naturally, "They might also find our residence, so if you really can't defeat them, just run away and I will avenge you."
It is indeed Nolan Lusi.
"No problem." Grace said with a thumbs up.
After confirming that nothing else would happen in a short period of time, I finally returned to my room exhausted both physically and mentally.
Although exploring that ancient ruins is not a tiring task at all, what happens next will make people's brain cells evaporate directly...
Finally lying on the soft bed, I said unconsciously: "Sure enough, Nolan Lesi's emotional intelligence is very problematic."
"Well, what's wrong with me?"
······I go!
I hurriedly opened my eyes and found that half of Nolan Lusi's body had just penetrated the wall, and she was looking at me with a puzzled face.
"You seemed to have mentioned me just now?" She raised her eyebrows, then stepped forward with her long legs and let the back half of her body completely enter my room.
"Wait, wait! Why don't you go through the main entrance!"
"Because it's too much trouble, I need to open the door and take a detour." Nolan Lusi said lightly.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"No, it's mainly because it's unladylike for you to suddenly enter a room of the opposite sex like this, and -"
"You wouldn't do anything bad in the room, right?" Nolan Lusi tilted her head in confusion.
"What if I'm changing clothes..."
"You won't miss a piece of meat just by looking at it, and you're not changing your clothes right now."
Although I wanted to say that in this case, I would trade meat for a chance to see you change clothes, but considering that there is a high probability that I will not see the sun tomorrow and will be humanely destroyed, so I am still quite rational and do not commit suicide.
"Forget it...it's not a big problem." I covered my head and sighed, "But it's better to do this less often."
Nolan Lusi said "Oh" softly, not sure if he heard what I said.
"So, why did you come to my room suddenly?"
"Well -" Nolan Lusi said with a strange expression, rubbing her chin, "Is there something wrong with my speech today?"
I'm not a close brother!
Facing Nolan Lusi with a smile, I said; "You just need to go through a period of training in human relations and sophistication."
I almost didn't say the sentence "Dogs have higher emotional intelligence than you".
"Humans are so sophisticated." Nolan Lesi pursed his lips, "You all seem to like to talk about some mysterious things."
"'You' mean?" I looked at Nolan Lusi with a little surprise.
Sure enough, it was not without reason that Nolan Lusi insisted on challenging the former Night Stalker.
But I am also stuck in this tangled predicament like Grace——
"Just ask me to take care of Ai Duolu and Ai Duolu. He is a nagging guy, and he likes to nag just like you." Nolan Lusi curled her lips and said, "Okay, okay, don't continue talking about this. When I talk about that guy, I get goosebumps all over my body, but I still can’t beat him..."
So that guy is an alien from Mars? He can actually make Nolan Lusi admit that he can't beat him.
I sighed, and finally said: "Simply - anytime."
"Give others a little leeway, that's about it."
I scratched my cheek with a little embarrassment and said, "But speaking of it, this kind of thing is difficult in most cases, so don't do it when it's not necessary. After all, giving someone a chance of survival might make you lose yourself." Die."
"...Tsk, it's unpredictable." Nolan Lusi crossed her hands and narrowed her eyes slightly.
She waved her hands and twirled her hair absentmindedly: "I understand."
Then half of his body passed through the wall.
"Oh, by the way, it took me some time to figure out one thing." As if remembering something, Nolan Lusi's head passed through the wall again, "How should I say - this hotel The boss is indeed the fat man, although I don’t know why, but that woman took orders from him, so I shouldn’t believe anything they said that day.”
······ha?
The news in it surprised me a little, so even though there was indescribable mental pollution in front of me, I didn’t pay attention to it.
The boss is indeed the fat man! ?
Hiss - people should not be judged by their appearance.
The shocking fact forced me to carefully consider the last unstable factor.
How difficult life is!
I went to sleep with a lot of worries. Before going to bed, I didn't forget to set up a clear defense and alarm magic circle near the room to prevent anyone from entering.
But we have shown up before, so the backstage people who were guarding around the informant's room will soon know what's going on here.
Defenses can not do without······
I was thinking about everything in my mind, and my thoughts gradually became blurry.
Following the mental inertia, I finally fell asleep.
So the will woke up in another place, and it was quite skillful.
"It's this pure white world again." I got up from the ground and looked at the surrounding scenes without any fluctuation in my heart.
This time there are not countless me, but there are walls made of white squares all around.
Hmm--it's probably just a random pile, and it can't be called a wall.
I tried to take a step forward and found that the white squares seemed to be closer to me.
Can move.
After confirming this, I cautiously approached the pure white cube and picked one up with a little curiosity.
The square is crystal clear, with seven-color rainbow light slightly reflected inside, making it look beautiful.
It looks like just an ordinary gem.
After picking up a few in succession and checking them, I found that these things are really good-looking, but other than that they have no function...
