The atmosphere was a little awkward. Everyone in the room slowly turned their heads, with smiles or helplessness, and kept their eyes on Han Qingyu.
What surprised them was not that Han Qingyu didn't return it, but that they didn't even notice that he didn't return it.
"But I really forgot, I wasn't just pretending."
Under the gaze, Han Qingyu said calmly.
Just a thought, charging in advance, he thought: Little girl, you should be happy to know, the current situation means that I have decided to protect you after entering, which will definitely cost energy, so it is a reasonable charge... No Charge first, then I might have to hesitate for two more seconds when I take action, unable to restrain myself, feeling sorry for the loss... you will die.
but,
"no."
Yin Caixin shook her head persistently, as if she was particularly hoping that Han Qingyu would fall in love with her words. She stretched out her hand to gesture to He Tangtang, and then said:
"When he took apart the device and returned it to me, you obviously took a look... Then how come you weren't reminded?"
Amid low laughter, Yin Caixin kept staring at Han Qingyu's face while speaking.
After saying that, she smiled to herself. Seeing Han Qingyu's embarrassed and helpless expression but still wanting to quibble, she suddenly felt much more relaxed.
The current situation is that Xiao Cai Xin's teammates don't actually know that she is here.
After they went back to persuade her, what she told them was that she was going to see the receptionist and call her grandpa.
It's very troublesome here, the call didn't go out.
Then on the way back, she realized that she could only rely on herself now. Yin Caixin forced herself to calm down and think, and finally got some ideas:
"With the strength that person has shown so far, he would covet this source energy block at this time, which probably means that he has no intention of harming me."
In this way, combined with what grandpa said before about Han Qingyu's reputation and performance as the Chinese runner-up, a strange logic comes out:
[If he really didn't pay it back on purpose - it means he really didn't want to take the blame for me. 】
Yes, it's "even the pot". Grandpa said this was a phrase he often heard from his comrades on the Chinese-Asian battlefield. It probably meant taking it all.
"It seems like that's it, I was right."
Xiao Cai Xin raised her head slightly, trying to straighten out her logic. Her slightly light blue eyes looked up at the height of the wall and ceiling, secretly revealing a trace of relaxation and joy.
How wonderful it is to be able to trust such a powerful person.
But if you want to believe it completely, there is still a voice in my heart that is still objecting... Oh, it's so embarrassing, so should I still talk about Luca's suggestion?
"Cai Xin, you seem to be hesitating about something. It's okay, just say it." Shen Yixiu encouraged with a smile in her tone.
Yin Caixin looked at her, still hesitant.
"It was your teammates who persuaded you to give up cooperating with us after they returned, right?" Wen Jifei on the side suddenly interjected and asked, helping Qingzi change the topic.
Yin Caixin suddenly turned her head, "How did you know?!"
"Forget it." Wen Jifei said easily and seriously: "Have you forgotten? I am the Zhouyi Bagua scientist."
"Awesome! Then you..."
"I still don't think you agreed."
Yin Caixin's eyes widened and she nodded quickly, "Yeah."
Then he quickly said: "However, we are also afraid of sacrificing our lives for righteousness. If you think about it from our position, you are so strong..."
He Tangtang was confused: "What is sacrificing one's life for righteousness?"
Liu Shiheng: "She probably wanted to put herself in someone else's shoes."
"Well, if... if... Anyway, I'm really a little scared." Yin Caixin hesitated for a moment, and finally seemed to give it all and said, "Luka suggested that we exchange hostages with you."
There was a moment of silence.
"Hostage?" Wen Jifei asked curiously.
"Well, Luka suggested that we stay among the people outside without the device, put one on your side, and you...you also put one on our side."
"..." Han Qingyu sat up straight.
But Yin Caixin did not immediately notice that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and continued weakly: "Just, just the weakest one among you, Luka said, otherwise we may not be able to see it."
While speaking, her eyes wandered between Liu Shiheng and Wen Jifei.
Wen Jifei dodged for a moment.
Didn't avoid it.
Somewhat angry.
"Now, I'm warning you, don't look at me again when I'm at my weakest. I'm a scientist, but that doesn't mean I'm not good at martial arts." Wen Jifei made a knife-drawing motion in the air, "Be careful, I'll chop you. You know what A-level is and what double-A team is."
"You, so you are also A-level?!" Yin Caixin was completely shocked.
"certainly."
Wen Jifei replied calmly. Of course he is A-level, but he is also B-level and CDEF-level.
"Well, then why don't you go in with us?"
"Because I am a Zhouyi Bagua scientist."
"...Oh." Yin Caixin nodded.
"Actually, I think this suggestion is good, and I don't mind being a hostage in the past." Somewhat unexpectedly, Liu Shiheng said with a smile: "So who are you planning to put on our side?"
"Bo Duan." Yin Caixin said and gestured, "Black, curly hair, beard... I am the one who will compete with your Tangtang for the spot in the end."
Liu Shiheng, "Oh, then..." He was about to turn to Han Qingyu and ask for his opinion.
"I don't agree." Han Qingyu interrupted the conversation between the two, his tone was a bit cold.
Yin Caixin turned to look at him, "Why..."
"I don't do this kind of thing." Han Qingyu said.
As soon as the atmosphere dropped to a cold level, Yin Cai thought about it and roughly understood that this was the principle and decision of a team leader.
The little girl felt a little embarrassed and apologized: "I'm sorry... we actually don't mean any harm. Luca is not a bad person, but he is the most trustworthy and reliable person on my side, and he is also the most cautious one. Everyone sleeps here wearing a device.”
…………
Luca is seriously injured.
If it weren't for a coincidence, Yin Caixin would have persuaded herself tonight that Han Qingyu invited Shen Yixiu to live with her. Shen Yixiu agreed and went back with her after the conversation to go to her room...
Luca should be dead.
All that happened within ten seconds was as follows:
Shen Yixiu and Yin Caixin walked within ten meters of their room, and there was a slight sound of fighting in the room.
Shen Yixiu activated it instantly, broke through the door, and helped Luka block the fatal knife in the chest.
At this time, Luka had been stabbed in the back in the initial sneak attack and was seriously injured.
Three people were besieging him, and one of them was Boduin.
Shen Yixiu is ready to kill.
A voice suddenly came from outside the house, asking her to stop.
Yin Caixin, who was not wearing a device, was in panic for a moment when she was stabbed in the back with a knife by another lurking stranger.
Luca is unconscious.
The three people who besieged him knew that they were no match for Shen Yixiu, so they decisively withdrew.
Shen Yixiu couldn't take action.
Therefore, Han Qingyu neglected one thing after all:
Because of He Tangtang's reminder before, he actually had some doubts about Bo Duan, but he was not sure enough and had no evidence to convince Yin Caixin. At the same time, he thought that since the other party's purpose was to enter the market, he should not act in a hurry, so he Nothing was done yet.
And what Yin Caixin said just now... He was so patronizing that he was unhappy.
Just imagine, when a person from the Purge sect lurks here, he must enter the field. The five-person selection failed. Bo Duan was still trying to win over Yin Caixin, but in the end, Luca, the backbone of their team, , actually suggested using him as a hostage exchange...
He can only take risks.
Contact the other three purge people in the hotel and attack Luca.
Once Luka dies at the hands of the Purge lurkers, he can step forward and become an entry member, and at the same time become the backbone of their side, guiding and swaying Yin Caixin's decision.
He had even thought about pointing the suspicion at Han Qingyu and others, attributing Luca's death to their last obstacle, thereby expelling them from the team.
Bo Duan just didn't expect that Yin Caixin would actually stay with Han Qingyu tonight, and he didn't expect that she would take Shen Yixiu back.
