Until I walked out of the restaurant and found myself surrounded by thick fog outside.
Xiaobai still couldn't remember some things.
I don’t know how I stood up, how I interacted with those players, and finally followed Xia Zhi out of the restaurant safely.
As if he was bewitched, he followed Xia Zhi and walked onto the street without saying a word.
People who are on alert almost all the time will always notice something is wrong with themselves.
For example, this situation has vaguely appeared now and at some time before.
Xiaobai looked at the figure in front of him calmly, thinking for a long time before he said casually: "Are you so worried about your partners?"
Before he finished speaking, he could clearly detect the pause of the figure walking in front of him.
Under the thick fog, if you can keep walking with one person, the distance between the two people will not be too far.
But at the same time, the distance between the two is not too close.
It can be said to be just the right distance, or it can be said to be the safe range for both parties.
It is precisely because of this distance that he can observe these details.
The figure in front only paused invisible to the naked eye, and then walked ahead as calmly as before. Hearing the question, he didn't even stop for a moment.
Xiaobai just looked at the person in front of him, and when he couldn't get an answer, he followed behind him silently, still maintaining the distance just now.
But he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the fog between the two was heavier than before, making him even more unable to see through the person in front of him than before.
The silence didn't last long as he got his answer.
As early as when she heard the question from the person behind her, Xin Zhixia had already thought of how to answer.
After all, she had been thinking about this answer for two days.
Just like memorizing hard before the college entrance examination, memorizing the key knowledge thoroughly, just hoping that this question would happen to appear during the exam, and she would be able to give the most perfect answer.
Now, it was obvious that she had seen this question on the test paper, but she didn't really want to solve this simplest question immediately.
So, Xin Zhixia just held the bracelet in her hand, straightened her back, maintained the same chic posture as before, and walked silently ahead.
As she walked, she heard the footsteps behind her as usual, and Xin Zhixia became uneasy.
"Tsk."
Xin Zhixia frowned irritably, and finally stopped in front of her room door, turning her head to look at the young man behind her.
After seeing his expressionless look, she became even less calm.
Xin Zhixia shrugged and said leisurely: "Maybe it's because I'm more charming?"
Hearing this, Xiaobai's face darkened and his temples twitched.
In his opinion, this woman named Xia Zhi is really too narcissistic. When he said this, his expression was calm, as natural as saying, "The weather is really nice today."
But that's not the point, the point is her answer.
This paradoxical statement is incomprehensible to others. To him, it was like jumping in front of him and admitting what he had done, and then shamelessly telling him, "So what?"
Full of provocation.
Xin Zhixia took in the reaction of the young man in front of her, then slightly curled her lips and pointed to her door.
"Come in and chat?"
Xiaobai did not refuse, pressed his temples, and followed Xia Zhi into the room.
He wanted to hear how this woman wanted to explain.
After entering the room, Xin Zhixia calmly poured a glass of water for the two of them.
Then he ignored Xiao Bai, calmly sat down on the sofa, raised his wrist and looked at the time.
At this time, Qiuqiu is waiting near the restaurant.
In order to follow her instructions to send off the NPC, increase the favorability of the three of them, and perform secret surveillance tasks.
Of course, this monitoring task was not assigned by her, it was what Qiuqiu volunteered to do last night.
But Xin Zhixia's instructions were very simple.
She and Xiaobai tricked the NPC into going to the restaurant. After all, someone needed to send them away and increase their favorability.
However, given that she and Xiaobai are both people that other players hate, fear, and hope to cooperate with, the attention they receive is too high. Contact with NPCs will inevitably attract other players' attention, thus exposing some information that should not be exposed. .
Therefore, this choice naturally fell on Qiuqiu.
Xin Zhixia confirmed that at this time, Qiuqiu would not appear to interrupt the conversation between the two.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at Xiaobai, preparing to have the most sincere exchange since entering the dungeon.
However, what didn't go well was that there was obvious dissatisfaction in the eyes of the young man opposite.
Fortunately, it was just dissatisfaction, not intense hostility.
Xin Zhixia looked at Xiaobai with a smile and asked, "Are your offensive props strong?"
Xiaobai, who thought he would get an explanation, was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why the topic turned to him.
At the same time, he couldn't help but frown, very dissatisfied with Xia Zhi's behavior of first attacking him and now changing the topic.
very very.
So Xiaobai lowered his face, looked directly at Xia Zhi with sharp eyes, and asked in a cold tone: "Shouldn't you explain it? As a partner, no matter how 'temporary' I am, I don't want to be stabbed in the back."
He emphasized the word "temporary" very hard, and he was obviously unhappy to the point of being angry.
Xin Zhixia blinked, suppressed her smile, and then said seriously: "Same. In order to ensure that my partners will not cause harm to me, I used the prop three times."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Bai's complexion obviously improved a lot, but his eyes flickered, his fingers curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but start to lower his eyes and think.
What Xia Zhi said represented her honesty, but at the same time it made him feel a little dazed.
There were only two times in his memory.
Xin Zhixia was not surprised when she saw Xiaobai's thinking expression. She even thought about how many times this young man had noticed it.
However, even if he didn't notice, she still had to confess.
"For smooth cooperation, and also to express my apology. I will confess to you..."
Xiaobai suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xia Zhi, waiting quietly for her to finish.
-
The time goes back to the first night after entering the instance.
"Remember, so what do you want me to do for you?"
When Xiaobai heard that Xia Zhi needed a small favor from him, he was not surprised, but he felt that the favor came a little early.
After all, although this kind of verbal promise is unreliable, once someone is willing to fulfill the contract, it is not a bad idea.
Whether it is used to eliminate opponents or help kill an enemy.
To him, it was all trivial favors.
Therefore, in his opinion, Xia Zhi's use of this opportunity now is somewhat too hasty and not cost-effective.
At least that's what he thinks.
Of course, if Xin Zhixia knew that this was just a small favor, she would definitely not ask him to do a small favor now.
But Xin Zhixia would never have thought that someone had said that the scope of non-small work was: not being able to cooperate and not being able to collude.
On the contrary, killing people is a small favor.
