This time, Li Huixi took off the mask without any advance warning. Although the fox didn't know it herself, she didn't know when it started. She really liked the feeling of being treated as an independent individual.
Under the fox mask, there was a face that was exactly the same as Li Huixi's. This was beyond Qin Ling's expectation. He couldn't help but be shocked for a while. After thinking for a long time, he asked the two of them:
"Are you twins? The kind who signed a soul contract?"
Li Huixi shook her head, and the fox asked curiously:
"What is a soul contract?"
"I thought... you were her unborn sister, and then you kept haunting her as a dead soul. In the end, the sisters reconciled and you became her patron saint. What a wonderful plot."
Li Huixi gave a helpless smile, and the fox discovered the cute side of this little girl for the first time, so he said:
"You are quite out-of-the-box in your thinking. As for what happened between us, I will find an opportunity to tell you slowly in the future. By the way, how old are you?"
But who would have expected that Qin Ling's expression that was still smiling just now suddenly fell down, and she said sadly:
"Are we friends now?"
Li Huixi nodded and simply replied:
"Um……"
Qin Ling looked a little disappointed but still didn't take it back and said to the two of them:
"I actually don't know how old I am. It's been a long time since anyone wanted to be my friend."
The fox looked down at the poor girl with distress. Needless to say, he knew that she had a special physique. If the curse ability was not controlled, she would be regarded as an unlucky thing by many people.
"You should know the approximate range of birthdays, right?"
Fox asked rhetorically.
"To put it into perspective, it's probably just in the past few months. I remember I only had a good birthday once, and the sky was the same as today."
"How about if you are... 8 years old today?"
"8 years old... seems to be about the same. Is it my birthday today?"
"Um!"
The fox took off the messy hair rope on Qin Ling's head, combed her hair carefully, and carefully tied a cute little ball on her head for her age.
Qin Ling found a mirror on the street and looked at her smart and lovely self in the mirror, and couldn't help but want to cry.
However, the fox, who has not experienced many human emotions, still doesn't understand why Qin Ling burst into tears. It is obviously a very heartwarming scene.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Qin Ling shook his head and replied to the fox with a choked voice:
"No...no, I'm very happy."
"Then why are you crying?"
"Ever since I started working for the Federation, even though I get a lot of money at the end of each mission, no one has ever cut my hair."
Fox still didn't quite understand why Qin Ling was crying like this, and turned to look at Li Huixi for help, but Li Huixi just came over, patted Fox on the shoulder, and whispered in her ear:
"No need to coax, she is very happy."
The fox nodded at a loss. Li Huixi and Qin Ling walked towards Li Huixi's home, while the fox went to do other things.
After entering the house, Duan Jiang was lying on the ground. His injuries were not serious. Although his body was lumbered, it was because of this that he was not hurt when the fox fell from a high altitude. But he couldn't do anything about it now. Free to move, it is difficult for the half-human, half-wooden body to move.
At this time, Duan Jiang had woken up and looked at the oncoming Li Huixi with malicious intent.
"I advise you to let me go quickly, otherwise..."
Li Huixi didn't speak and didn't want to waste too much time with him, so Qin Ling turned Duan Jiang towards him and said:
"Don't be crazy Duan Jiang, you are already a dead person in the Federation."
Qin Ling's childish voice pierced Duan Jiang's eardrums, making him feel dizzy and devoid of confidence for a moment. However, not long after, Duan Jiang said hysterically:
"Impossible! I'm still alive. I'm not dead. If my family finds out that you lied to them, you... you will all suffer the price!"
Qin Ling was also very impatient with him. Although they had worked together before, this guy gave people such a bad impression that she never let him get close to him.
Children's ears are more tender. Qin Ling blocked his ears when Duan Jiang shouted, and then put down his hands when Duan Jiang was tired and added:
"Don't wait for the Federation to save you. If you don't eat water plants, you may not be able to survive tonight."
Hearing this, Duan Jiang's momentum dropped and he asked:
"Water plant? What water plant?"
"By the way, you were in a coma at the time. Here, this is it."
As he spoke, Qin Ling casually pulled a few water plants he brought back from his side and swung them back and forth in front of Duan Jiang like a cat teaser.
"What is this for?"
"Help, otherwise why would we be on a mission?"
"Give it to me, give it to me!"
"It's so noisy. When will you learn to talk to people properly? Let's talk about it later."
Li Huixi snickered on the sidelines. When she and Qin Ling walked out of the room, Li Huixi rarely took the initiative to bring up the topic:
"I can't tell, but you have a talent for interrogation."
Qin Ling smiled shyly when he heard this compliment and replied:
"What? It's just the method the Federation used on me before."
"Speaking of which, every time there are casualties in a mission, do they have to put on such a big show?"
"That's not true, but it's your first time. It has to be more formal and strict, and it's also to establish prestige."
"You're only eight years old. How many missions have you been on?"
"Well... I can't count. I have been serving the Federation a long time ago. They are very generous with their money. They don't discriminate against my specialness, and they don't ask about my past. It's very free."
Although Qin Ling looks like she is more than eight years old, a child of this age should have spent a wonderful childhood at home, but she has been through life and death many times, doing various things independently and treating all dangers as child's play. The hardships I have endured must be difficult for ordinary people to accept.
In some ways, she is stronger than Li Huixi. Even Li Huixi is still with her parents at this age, but her life is a little unsatisfactory.
Long before they parted ways, Li Huixi specifically asked Qin Ling:
"Besides you, is there anyone or device in the Federation that can sense the fox's presence?"
"It seems that no one except me noticed her just now at the base, right? There should be no special measures to deal with her now. As long as I don't tell anyone, no one will know that the fox is around."
"That's good."
After this conversation ended, Fox returned to the underground base and was responsible for tracking the guy who touched Li Huixi in the interrogation room.
But as soon as the fox rushed back to the base, Duan Lianyu hurried out.
The fox's main goal was to stare at him, and he followed him on the plane and returned to the village where the first few people came. After the baptism of fire, most of the trees and plants here had turned into nothing, but Duan Lianyu was like a Like a gold digger, he stepped on the embers on the ground and rummaged carefully, ignoring the plant ash on his hands.
What the fox couldn't understand the most was that the area that had been burned by fire was dozens of miles long. Duan Lianyu started searching from scratch by himself, and he had already walked a third of the way.
"What is he looking for? He's crazy."
The fox was thinking this in his heart, but he was still watching him boringly not far away. Half a day passed like this, and Duan Lianyu never straightened up even once from the beginning to the end.
It wasn't until she saw him searching the entire gray sea that Duan Lianyu contacted the helicopter and ran back to the base with a look of reluctance.
At this time, the fox was still following him. He walked for a long time and finally stopped at the door of an office. He knocked respectfully and waited outside.
Fox took advantage of this time to rush into the office and looked at the documents on the table. It seemed that the owner of this office also had a surname of Duan.
