If Qiuqiu was around at this time, he would definitely not understand why Xia Zhi was talking to the NPC.
Maybe she wouldn't understand what she suddenly knew when she said she knew.
The content of this inexplicable chat seemed to be Xia Zhi being curious and wondering why Hodel was so unfriendly to her.
Of course, in the eyes of the two people present, this behavior obviously had a purpose.
Just like when Xia Zhi smiled and asked Xiaobai if he could touch her, Xiaobai's expression feedback was also very timely.
It's just that Xiaobai's expression changed very quickly, and in the next moment he returned to the image of a sunny and cheerful boy, with a innocent and harmless smile, which made people suspect that what they saw before was an illusion.
"Hey, it's a pity, I don't really want to touch you."
This time it was Xia Zhi's turn, and her expression froze for a moment.
She looked at Xiaobai up and down for a moment, and saw that Xiaobai was still smiling.
Seeing this, Xin Zhixia also smiled back and chose to remain silent like the NPC opposite.
Time passed slowly, and the hall always maintained a quiet atmosphere.
The two brothers Badr and Hodel appear to be more mechanical than the other NPCs they met before. The same NPCs carry instructions themselves, and most of what they do has a purpose.
But other NPCs are obviously more flexible and will not go out of their way to give players a good look.
Seeing that Xia Zhi and Xiao Bai were silent, these two people actually remained silent together.
The two of them drank tea and read books leisurely, without being affected at all.
Halfway through, Badr even handed over a book with great enthusiasm, obviously intending to lend it to Xia Zhi.
Xin Zhixia took it with a smile, and saw from the corner of her eye that Xiaobai was also handed the book by Hodel.
She raised her eyebrows, taking in this scene, then opened the book and started reading.
The years here are quiet and peaceful, but there is intrigue and intrigue between them.
-
Qiuqiu secretly made a simple ranking of the people he wanted to find.
When she walked to Guan Xiaoqi's house, she took out a round stone from her bracelet and held it tightly in her left hand.
Then he took a deep breath and knocked on Guan Xiaoqi's door.
The next second, Guan Xiaoqi's voice came from inside.
"Which one?"
The door arranged in this dungeon had a peephole. Qiuqiu knew that Guan Xiaoqi had not even reached the door, so he asked.
So Qiuqiu adjusted his expression, showed a natural smile, and responded to the door: "It's me, Qiuqiu."
Qiuqiu listened carefully, and through the faint movement coming from the door, she noticed that Guan Xiaoqi had walked to the door, but she did not open the door for a long time.
She wouldn't be impatient about this, she just stood outside the door with a smile on her face.
After all, in the dead space, everyone's vigilance is not as high as usual. If they are not decisively turned away, it is a good sign.
While thinking, the door finally opened, although it was just a gap.
Guan Xiaoqi stood in the room, holding the door handle tightly, and said to Qiuqiu through the crack in the door: "Sorry, I was busy just now."
Hearing this, Qiuqiu waved his hands and seemed not to care.
Learning from Guan Xiaoqi and communicating with them through the crack in the door can also give each other a sense of security.
"It's okay, do you want to talk?"
Guan Xiaoqi glanced at the ball up and down, but had no intention of letting the ball go in immediately.
She narrowed her eyes and asked three questions in a row, "Are you a Bode disciple? Have you had any contact with anyone before? Have you had any contact with Xia Zhi?"
Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this barrage of questions.
Although she knew that Guan Xiaoqi was likely to ask questions, she did not expect that she could not even get in, and Guan Xiaoqi asked her three questions in a row.
Moreover, every sentence was focused on key questions, and there was no trace of the truth-seeking and knowledge-seeking appearance in the hall before.
Qiuqiu felt the pressure, and said despite the pressure: "I am a disciple of Bode, because I think you are similar, so I came to find you."
Guan Xiaoqi nodded, then still stared at Qiuqiu.
Seeing that the girl in front of her had no intention of continuing, Guan Xiaoqi couldn't help but emphasize, "You didn't answer the last two questions."
Qiuqiu was silent for a moment, then her thoughts changed, and she suddenly remembered her teammates' instructions to her.
"In Dead Space, you have to pretend. If you are awesome, you have to pretend to be even better. If you are not awesome, you have to pretend to be awesome. At least you can't look too cowardly or stupid."
Thinking of this, she put away her smile and replied with a serious look: "These words have no meaning outside the door. You are not worried that I am lying. I am also worried that the walls have ears."
Guan Xiaoqi pursed her lips, then nodded and opened the door a little to welcome the ball in.
Qiuqiu clenched her left hand and stepped into the house.
After Qiuqiu entered the house, Guan Xiaoqi stretched her head and looked around the street to make sure that no one had discovered her.
Just as he was about to close the door, he saw Fanchen's door opened a little further away.
Guan Xiaoqi squinted her eyes, looking at the vague figure in the haze, and walked farther away after leaving the door.
Immediately afterwards, the back figure gradually became unclear in the fog.
Guan Xiaoqi frowned and thought, whose house is in that direction?
Qiuqiu, who had already walked into the room to observe, turned around and saw Guan Xiaoqi holding the door handle with her right hand, half-expanding her head to look out the door.
Qiuqiu said slightly confused, "Guan Xiaoqi?"
Guan Xiaoqi, whose thoughts were interrupted by Qiuqiu, casually replied with a "hmm", then closed the door and turned to face Qiuqiu.
Guan Xiaoqi was not as wary as she was at first. She signaled Qiuqiu to sit down as she pleased.
He even brought the water glass very politely and placed it in front of Qiuqiu.
After Qiuqiu sat down, he looked at Guan Xiaoqi who seemed to be thinking about something, thinking that she was thinking about her answer just now.
So, intending to make a quick decision, she said in a deep voice: "Now I can answer your question."
Guan Xiaoqi looked up at Qiuqiu and interrupted what she wanted to say.
"Do you know who lives there if the house in Fanchen is further to the west?"
Qiuqiu looked puzzled, a little confused by Guan Xiaoqi's sudden change of topic, and then answered in a very affirmative tone.
"It's Lu Feipeng, Dou Shuyu and Wang Lei."
Guan Xiaoqi looked surprised. She didn't expect that she would get such a positive answer to a question she just asked casually and wasn't sure if she would get an answer.
She didn't think there was any need for Qiuqiu to lie to herself on this issue.
So she nodded in a good mood and replied politely: "Well, thank you."
The next second, Guan Xiaoqi said to Qiuqiu without any hesitation: "I know you and Xia Zhi have known each other for a long time. If she is a Bode disciple, you two should have been in contact with each other, right?"
It has to be said that Qiuqiu has made rapid progress. After hearing Guan Xiaoqi's words, she was shocked inside, but she only showed the right amount of confusion on the surface.
"No."
