After Xin Zhixia walked out of the house, her vision gradually became clearer.
The bright lights outside were completely different from her dark room.
The street lamps on the road and the lamps in the rest area are not densely arranged, like will-o'-the-wisps, and they can light up regularly when unattended.
At this time, under the lights in the rest area, many players could be seen standing in response to the call.
Xin Zhixia held the sword of judgment in her hand and walked straight towards the rest area.
The figure suddenly became clear.
Except for the three familiar merchants, as well as Shan Yuan and Claire who were nowhere to be found, it was almost a scene of everyone arriving.
These people were standing in the rest area, half surrounding a certain corner, and they didn't know what they were communicating with.
This scream came suddenly.
Xin Zhixia had just woken up from sleep and her thinking was a little slow.
Now, seeing Qiuqiu's back, I reacted belatedly.
That scream came from Qiuqiu.
"What situation can make Qiuqiu scream?"
This question is not difficult to answer. There is a high probability that you will be attacked.
Otherwise...
At this moment, Qiuqiu turned sideways and saw her.
Xin Zhixia was keenly aware of the complicated expression on the other party's face, and then Qiuqiu waved to her from a distance.
At this moment, she saw something lying on the ground from a distance, and another possibility suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Is it pokeweed, moon or forest tree?"
The body lying on the ground was most likely a corpse, and it could only be one of the five people who didn't come.
Because Shuo Wang and Bing Tong were both there, and their expressions were extremely calm, with a "it's none of their business, just hang on high" attitude, it was obviously impossible for them to be Shan Yuan.
Claire is related to another room. Even if he is alone, he should not be the first target. Instead, he is more likely to be the person he wants to win over.
Xin Zhixia habitually considered the worst-case scenario and thought about what might happen.
She lives farthest from here, and Phytolacca and the others will definitely come first.
There is no reason why it would be later than her, and she still hasn't appeared yet.
"Maybe something happened."
Xin Zhixia couldn't help but frown, took a deep breath, and gradually tightened her grip on the Sword of Judgment.
Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly became cold and her steps forward were extremely heavy.
Even after taking two steps forward, he failed to lift his feet and move forward again.
Xin Zhixia's expression was solemn, and her thoughts were in a mess.
For a moment, pessimism took over.
"It's too unreliable for a partner to die when you come up, right?"
That's right, I'm talking about you, the black-hearted businessman.
If things changed so quickly, she would have to think of new plans again.
"It's really a headache."
There was a rustling sound behind her, and then someone tapped her on the shoulder.
The force was extremely light, and it was obviously not malicious.
However, Xin Zhixia's thoughts were confused and she had no time to think about the unnecessary content. She only maintained her original vigilance.
Subconsciously, he took two steps back, picked up the sword of judgment, and pointed it directly at the person behind him.
The next second, Xin Zhixia and the person being accused stared at each other.
Lin Mu's eyes widened as he was pointed at by the sword of judgment, and he immediately raised his hands.
"Hey hey hey, don't you?"
After saying that, he looked tense, smiled a little forcedly, stretched out his index finger and tapped her right hand.
"If you have something to say, don't you agree to cooperate?"
Xin Zhixia was stunned for a moment, then blinked in disbelief.
It seems like...a bit of an overreaction.
Then, another familiar male voice came into her ears.
"Did someone die?"
The voice is soft and calm, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Xin Zhixia turned her gaze away slightly.
I saw Phytolacca walking forward from behind Lin Mu, the corner of his mouth curved.
Compared to him who looked normal, Ming Yue next to him looked not so good and stared at her nervously.
To be precise, it was the sword of judgment in her hand.
Xin Zhixia scanned the faces of the three people one by one, and then calmly put down the sword of judgment.
It's nice, lively, full of living people.
Seeing Xin Yi put away his sword obediently, Lin Mu took a deep breath and teased awkwardly: "I don't know, I thought you wanted to attack me."
Xin Zhixia glanced at Lin Mu, raised the corner of her mouth and smiled.
"Who told you to touch me without saying a word?"
Lin Mu choked suddenly and raised his hand to scratch his head.
"No. I saw you standing here motionless like a sculpture, so I thought something was wrong with you."
Xin Zhixia rarely responded, but chose to remain silent.
Claire is alone and will definitely care about every situation.
However, he did not show up, which is obviously the most unreasonable.
On the contrary, the three merchants should be able to act as a team when faced with an unfriendly situation.
Maybe caring leads to chaos?
Xin Zhixia wrinkled her nose and retorted on her own.
She analyzed it according to conventional logic and subconsciously didn't think anyone would take action against Claire.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much."
After all, people who act alone are actually the best to handle.
Seeing this, Shangluca looked thoughtful, pushed up his glasses, and couldn't help asking: "Are you okay?"
Xin Zhixia came to her senses and asked instead of answering.
"Why are you here so late?"
Upon hearing this, Shanglu's eyes moved slightly and he replied softly: "I'll tell you later."
Xin Zhixia felt confused and glanced at Mingyue and Lin Mu.
After hearing this question, the two of them showed uncomfortable expressions.
Xin Zhixia retracted her gaze without any trace, and nodded slightly in response.
At the same time, the crowd gathered here.
Shuo Wang followed Qiuqiu's gaze and happened to see Xin Yi smiling at Lin Mu, and couldn't help but smile and sigh.
"This is how people with good relationships get along."
Qiuqiu's eyes flickered, he turned his gaze back, and replied nonchalantly: "You don't have to worry about it."
Shuo Wang chuckled, shrugged his shoulders, and stopped paying attention there.
Within a moment, Xin Zhixia and Shang Lu also arrived at the scene of the incident.
Seeing that it was Claire's body, Xin Zhixia was not surprised at all and walked straight to Qiuqiu.
"Are you OK?"
His tone was worried, obviously caring.
Qiuqiu's face was a little pale. Hearing this, he just shook his head and replied: "It's okay."
"That's good."
Xin Zhixia looked her eyes up and down and saw that she was not injured. She hurriedly answered with peace of mind and focused on the body.
The state of Claire's death... can be described as peaceful.
He lay flat on the ground with his eyes slightly closed, showing no signs of struggle.
It was more like falling asleep than dying.
Before Xin Zhixia could finish his observation, Shuo Wang's voice floated into his ears.
"We are all from the same camp. Is there anything wrong with you coming over here with a sword?"
Hearing this, Xin Zhixia couldn't help but raise her eyes, staring at Shuo Wang, without putting the Sword of Judgment into her bracelet.
Shuo Wang raised his eyebrows slightly, raised the corners of his lips, and began to speculate.
"Or do you have different thoughts?"
