Ellie, who was thinking about the problem seriously, suddenly reacted when Zhan Jingyi asked her question, and then she also laughed.
She originally followed her own thinking to formulate an investigation plan, reducing the risk and possibility of exposure at every step, so she took into account the factors that Master Bai had mentioned before about the strength of the City Lord's Mansion, until she was reminded by Zhan Jingyi's words come over……
...I was actually telling the King of War that it was too dangerous?
Zhan Jingyi looked at Aili's smiling face, and suddenly felt a little happier.
Who makes himself a man? ?
How embarrassing must it be that a man as big as himself cannot handle anything?
Ai Li even rubbed her face that was numb from laughter, quickly adjusted her mood, and smiled at Zhan Jingyi: "My brain is running slow."
Then, he asked: "So, does the King of War need me and Wang Song to go there with you?"
"No, I can be alone."
Zhan Jingyi quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "If that place is as Xin Kai said, I think it should be very dangerous. I'm afraid something will happen if you go there."
Ellie suddenly choked again, feeling that something was wrong, but also felt that there was nothing wrong.
Considering that others would be in danger in the past, it seems okay and reasonable for the War King to go out on his own?
When Ellie accepted this question of rationality, the War King's face became more serious. He looked at Ellie and said, "Before I go there, there is another issue that needs to be considered."
Ai Li was slightly startled and looked up at Zhan Jingyi, her eyes full of doubts. She had thought about it and there should be nothing missing.
"It's your safety."
Zhan Jingyi said: "Although you can temporarily control this body with your mental body, this body is not your original body after all, so your abilities will be greatly restricted. Now we have confirmed that what may be going on in the City Lord's Mansion Conspiracy, if I walk away at this time, if something happens, you may be afraid...so I need to ensure that nothing happens to you."
Ellie was startled slightly, and there seemed to be some strange emotions in her eyes, especially as she suddenly remembered something, and a blush appeared on her face.
She did not irresponsibly say anything like "I'm fine" or "Don't worry about me". She just thought about it seriously and then said: "Don't worry, I won't leave this hotel at will until you come back." , with Wang Song, Master Bai and his many brothers here, it will be safer. In addition, I will stay vigilant..."
…
Zhan Jingyi also thought about it for a moment, then looked at Shen Qingcui and said, "Come here, cunning fox, let me tell you something."
Mr. Bai was stunned for a moment, looked around, pointed at himself and asked: "Boy, you called me? When did I call you Sly Fox? Why does it sound like a woman's name? Are you insulting me?"
"Dad!!"
Shen Qingcui patted him on the shoulder and said coquettishly: "This is one of my nicknames. Does it sound good?"
Mr. Bai was slightly startled and immediately said, "I wonder why this name is so tasteful. It turns out it belongs to my daughter. It sounds nice!"
Then, Shen Qingcui stood up and followed Zhan Jingyi gracefully to the window not far away. Zhan Jingyi looked into her eyes, hesitated for a while and said, "Can I trust you?"
Shen Qingcui took out a box of cigarettes from her bag, took out one and lit it, then slowly blew out a smoke ring, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "I can still control you, believe it or not."
Zhan Jingyi felt choked by her for a moment, so he snatched the cigarette case from her hand, took out one, lit it, took a long puff, and said, "I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion later to have a look, but I'm still a little worried. I need to give him some advice." If you know it thoroughly, you still remember that I told you that Yan Sixia has Ellie’s spirit in her body.”
"Um?"
Shen Qingcui was stunned for a moment, as if recalling something, and then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, "Are you trying to say that the person who has been with us these days is not Yan Sixia, but Aili?"
Nodding, Zhan Jingyi said, "Don't tell this secret casually."
Shen Qingcui was silent for a while, then opened the window. A burst of fresh air poured into the room, making people feel refreshed. The sun in the distance had begun to set, and the day was about to pass.
The two of them looked into the distance, both shocked by the scene in front of them. Looking from a distance, the sun slowly set, the sky gradually became darker, lavender turned into deep purple, and against the purple sky, the clouds also It has become softer, no longer as white and flawless as during the day, but dyed with the color of twilight, showing various colors such as orange-red, pink, light gold, etc., which is very beautiful.
The mountains in the distance are also reflected in the golden red by the sunset. The outline of the mountains gradually blurs in the twilight, blending with the colors of the sky, forming a moving watercolor painting.
At the same time, the lights of thousands of houses in the city flickered in the twilight, like stars descending on people. The whole world seemed to be immersed in this twilight, and everything became so quiet and peaceful.
Looking back, Shen Qingcui looked at Zhan Jingyi's profile and said, "You want me to protect her, right?"
"Yes."
Zhan Jingyi said frankly: "You also know that although she can control Yan Sixia's body now and can also use her own abilities, after all, the integration between the mental body and the physical body is very low. If a powerful character comes... "
"OK……"
Shen Qingcui agreed without too much hesitation: "But if it's something I can't resist, I won't lose my life to protect her. This needs to be explained in advance."
Nodding, Zhan Jingyi said nothing more, took a few more puffs of cigarette, flicked the cigarette butt outside the room, then walked back, looked at Ai Li, and warned: "If you really encounter a problem, don't panic. , call me for help immediately."
He looked at Ellie calmly and said, "You have to believe that as long as you can hold on for more than ten seconds and call for help, then as long as I am in this city, I can rush back to save you."
Under Zhan Jingyi's gaze, Aili nodded subconsciously without thinking too much.
Not even Wang Song, Shen Qingcui, or Mr. Bai who was listening at a loss realized that anything was wrong.
It wasn't until Zhan Jingyi came downstairs that Wang Song, who was a little belatedly aware of it, suddenly reacted and let out a low voice in surprise.
"Fuck..."
He turned around suddenly, looked at Ellie with wide eyes, and said in a low voice: "Just now, the War King said that as long as he is in this city, as long as you ask for help from him and hold on for ten seconds, he can come over. To save you and rule out the possibility that he is bragging..."
"What level of ability does it take to do this?"
Ai Li and Shen Qingcui were also surprised by the question, and even Master Bai's usually calm face showed a trace of panic.
"have no idea……"
Ellie's expression was surprised for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, her eyes filled with a touch of emotion and some shock.
After a while, she shook her head blankly: "The research on mutants by our Federation's First and Second Research Institutes has been very impressive in recent years."
"But I always feel that the King of War's abilities seem to have exceeded the scope of the Federation's research on mutant abilities..."
…
After Zhan Jingyi went downstairs, he looked at the sky in the distance and saw that it was already late. At this time, Master Bai's men had arranged for someone to prepare a car for Zhan Jingyi.
At this time, Master Bai had already taken the initiative to take on the assistance, security, and logistics work here. The most important thing was that he discovered that there were indeed many anomalies in the City Lord's Mansion. For the purpose of protecting himself, he also really fell in love with Zhan Jingyi and the others. The boat is gone.
"This car is not good, let's get a low-key one..."
Zhan Jingyi frowned a little when he saw the low-profile cool sports car in front of him. Such a car could attract half of the street's attention when walking on the road. Considering that he was not there to show off, but to be low-key, he proposed that he requirements.
After hearing what he said, Xiaoshan who was standing next to him scratched his head, turned around and gave an order. Immediately, his subordinates spread out and quickly drove a broken bread truck over for him.
Zhan Jingyi looked at this inconspicuous shabby van and immediately smiled: "This one is nice, where did you find it?"
The boy driving the car patted the steering wheel with some pride and said with a smile: "I just stole it from the roadside. If you are not satisfied, I will go look for it again."
For a moment, Zhan Jingyi didn't know how to answer, feeling guilt and admiration welling up in his heart at the same time.
Although he didn't quite approve of this behavior, he didn't say anything big. He still decided to put the mission first, shook his head and decided on this car.
