The size of the hidden sword was as if it had been tailor-made for Tang Yiling. Not only was it comfortable and fit, but even if he made some large movements, his flexibility would not be affected and he would not feel any discomfort.

Seeing Tang Yiling admiring the new Hidden Blade, a smile appeared on Tang Linsu's face.

"Oh, it seems that no one can escape the law of true fragrance." Tang Linsu, who always had a smile on his face, stood silently and looked at Tang Yiling.

Seemingly feeling something, she turned back to look at the closed solid iron door above the stairs. "Their sense of time is still so accurate, so there is no need to call them again."

I took out my phone and looked at the time. It happened to be eleven o'clock noon. "Now I just hope they remember to bring lunch for four people; otherwise, someone will be hungry at noon today."

After getting used to the new Hidden Blade, Tang Yiling finally vented his excitement; at the same time, he also heard his sister's murmur.

"Sister, is anyone else coming here?"

"Ah! Well, yes, by the way, I also asked them to bring our lunch."

After thinking for a moment, Tang Linsu answered his question and explained that their lunch problem had been resolved.

Just as the two siblings were chatting in the database, an all-blue, high-end sports car with purple stripes on the body made a perfect drift and stopped firmly next to the red car.

"Ahhh! Elliot! You really scared me to death just now. Can you be more careful when driving! This is my car!!!"

The girl with long lavender hair sitting in the passenger seat was in shock, feebly crying out about the girl's atrocities!

"Idiot Theia, after all this time, you still don't believe in my driving skills!"

The girl with long gray hair in the driver's seat was holding the steering wheel, holding a lollipop in her mouth, and looked at Theia in the passenger seat with disdain.

"The car is fine, the people are fine, and the most important thing is that not a drop of the soupy lunch was spilled."

"So in your eyes, food and other things are more important than human life!"

The two girls just carried their lunch and pushed each other towards the direction of the database. Miraculously, no matter how much they fought, not a drop of oil or water fell out of the full lunch in their hands, not even the plastic bag. They are all so clean.

"Boom, bang!..."

The sound of the iron door opening and closing resounded throughout the silent abandoned library; not long after, Tang Linsu and Tang Yiling walked back to the main entrance of the library hall from among the ruins.

Heading towards them, they bumped into two young girls who were carrying two large bags of soup for lunch, but were very agile.

"You two, this is enough! My brother is still here."

Looking at the two living treasures jumping repeatedly in front of him, Tang Linsu, who knew the temperament of the two children well, could only hold his forehead and shake his head helplessly.

"No! Even if Sister Linsu is here today, I have to decide the outcome with her!"

"Although we have conflicts, I agree with Theia's point of view."

"You all, get back to the car!!!"

Under Tang Linsu's roar, the two sides finally stopped; suppressed by Tang Linsu's sister's bloodline, the three young men and women of similar age sat back in their respective cars obediently and drove away. This piece of primeval forest is filled with the smell of decay.

The red car and the blue sports car were currently staying in a no-man's land with a wide view; there were very few vehicles around, and everyone no longer had to deliberately avoid the noisy environment around them when talking.

Under the watchful eye of their sister Tang Linsu, the two girls became much more well-behaved. Near noon, everyone sat in their own cars with the windows half open, each picking up the food in their hands.

"That's basically what happened. Do you have any new ideas?"

While having lunch, Elio and Theia listened to what happened intermittently. In the end, Theia and Elio came to a conclusion that was not much different from what Tang Linsu and her brother had thought before. .

Although no new conclusion was reached from the discussion, the problem was considered to have come to an end; then, she gave her brother a brief introduction to the basic information about the two girls.

To put it simply, these two girls, like Tang Linsu, possess spells that perfectly suit themselves.

Now, due to some reasons and problems, they and Tang Linsu were temporarily bound together. While cooking together, they also help each other in times of difficulty.

Not only that, but their own knowledge, ability, and close relationship between the two were also prerequisites for Tang Linsu's decision to recruit them into the group.

"Sister Linsu, it sounds so ugly to be included in a team. This is called joining a team!"

Theia promptly corrected the incorrect description of Tang Linsu's words, but Elio on the side interrupted Theia's continued speech.

"Idiot, listen to Sister Linsu first before asking questions."

"It's okay, Ellie, I've said everything I have to say."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Sister Linsu still feels sorry for me."

Tang Linsu took out the trash can that had been prepared in advance from the car. With a tacit understanding, everyone threw all the garbage into the trash can. After finishing everything in a while, it was convenient to take it away.

Afterwards, everyone had a brief exchange on how to deal with the headless puppets and hybrids, as well as confirming the ability and extension direction of the curse in Tang Yiling's body.

"According to Sister Linsu, and... um, Tang Yiling?"

"Just call me Yi Ling. My sister calls me that often, and I'm used to it."

Tang Yiling waved her hand to Elio, indicating that she didn't need to say her full name so formally.

"Then, Ai Li and I will just call you Yi Ling from now on. In exchange, you can just call me Ya!"

Theia, who had been silent at first, directly took away Elio's words and started talking to Tang Yiling, whom she had just met for less than a few hours.

"Snapped!"

"oops!"

"Idiot Theia, don't interrupt when others are talking. People will hate you." Elio patted Theia's head gently as a warning.

"Ahem, I'm sorry... From now on, you can just call me Ellie, so that we can communicate with each other better." Seeing Tang Yiling nodding, Elio paused for a moment and continued.

"There is another problem. When performing the mission, we also need to make some changes in the name of Sister Linsu."

"Ellie, please don't..." Tang Linsu, realizing something was wrong, opened her mouth and planned to stop Ellie, but she was still a step too slow.

"In daily situations, we usually call her Sister Linsu; during missions, we call her Sister Lin, Linsu, and Susu, as long as it follows the principles of clarity, simplicity, and ease of understanding..."

Before Elio finished speaking, he saw Tang Linsu raising her hands and making various sign language behind Tang Yiling who looked confused, but all of them were sign language to express silence.

"Eh? Sister Linsu, why do you make so many silent gestures?"

At this moment, not only Elio showed doubts, but even Tang Yiling was confused.

Only Tang Linsu sighed and sat back in the parking space.

"During the mission?"

Tang Yiling repeated it subconsciously. When he raised his head, he looked into the eyes of Elio who was sitting opposite him in the sports car.

The two of them saw the confusion in each other's eyes at the same time, as well as a gradually clear understanding.

"I see...that's what happened!"*2

Tang Yiling and Elio, two people who had not met a few hours ago, reached an unusually high degree of tacit understanding regarding the same question that caused both parties to wonder at this moment.

"You are the one Sister Linsu mentioned, the most mysterious member of the team!"

"So you are what my sister said, colleagues at work!"

Tang Yiling and Elio both solved their doubts, and both parties understood that the other party had also been "deceived" by Tang Linsu to some extent.

"Pfft! Hahahaha..." But the next second, the two people who were originally serious suddenly burst into laughter.

The sudden laughter frightened Theia, who was silently cooking; like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, she looked around in horror.

"What!...What happened!"
