"What...... I screamed so loudly, I thought something was wrong......"

Ma Xu's mother-in-law, who hurried to hear the movement, felt very speechless after learning the cause of the incident. The open-air baths were originally shared by men and women, and there was a large label outside the dressing room indicating this.

"Alas...... Miscalculated. Fei, who had re-wrapped her bathrobe, squatted in the water in annoyance, exposing only the part above her mouth and making gurgling bubbles. Because of the influence of the thick water mist and the somewhat dull indoor bathhouse, Fei actually forgot this, which was really a miscalculation.

"Alas, I didn't expect Fei to ......" In this regard, Hailiga was also shocked, but he still secretly thought in his heart, fortunately, he was the only one in this bathhouse, and the relationship between Fei and himself was ...... anyway It's nothing if you see it, if there is someone else......

Just think about it, of course. He wasn't stupid enough to say this, and then irritate the girl, who had finally quieted down. That's the guy who even brought a weapon in the bath - though I don't know how.

"Besides, it's nothing to panic about being seen naked once or twice. A girl's skin is to be maintained beautifully and beautifully for people to see. Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Ma Xu's mother-in-law also made a joke at the right time, which was right to liven up the atmosphere.

"Yes, yes!?"

"Tita, don't believe it!" Estelle, who had rushed to hear the news, hurriedly shouted, "And, Helliga...... Didn't see Xiaofei's nakedness, right? The last sentence is in a very uncertain and questioning tone.

"......" Hyliga was silent, and her face clearly said "I won't lie".

"Gee, don't worry about that. It's just a bath, and it's just a kiss. Mother-in-law Ma Xu said with a smile, "This is originally for the family to have a happy bath." Okay, you guys go on, I'll go first. ”

Ma Xu's mother-in-law left, the air was suddenly quiet, embarrassed teenagers and girls, you look at me, I look at you, and they were speechless to each other.

It didn't take long for Helriga and Fey, who had no intention of continuing to take a bath, to return to the locker room one after another, and came out in civilian clothes. The people who had planned to return to Chase City to stay in Chase City before it was too late were told by Granny Ma Xu that they had been invited to stay in Almo Village for the night and prepared a sumptuous dinner. And Tida, who was the most hesitant among the people, also learned that Ma Xu's mother-in-law had contacted Dr. Russell to settle down, and enjoyed the hotel's signature dish, the feast of oriental cuisine, with everyone.

After eating and drinking, the group played a game of cards for a while, and after Estelle loudly announced that she needed to rest, she was accompanied by Joshua back to her room, and everyone went back to their rooms.

"Heliga." Just as Heliga was about to step up the steps of the cloister back to his room, Fay's soft call stopped him.

"Philippine......" Helliga touched her nose embarrassedly, "that...... Are you okay? ”

"I didn't ...... It was just an accident, I've figured it out. "But I'm not here to talk about it. ”

"Huh? Is that? ”

"It's just...... Want you to come out...... Walk with me. Suddenly approaching, Fei's little mouth leaned against Heliga's ear, and the girl's breath came to her face.

"Ah...... Good, good. A little flustered, Helliga hurriedly agreed.

"Huh...... It's rare to see Helliga like that. With a cheerful smile, Fei easily gestured triumphantly.

"Alas...... I didn't expect Fei to have such a bad side......"

"Well, it's a lady's hobby, like explosives."

"Ah, explosives are definitely not...... Please, don't let anyone know......"

Without a word, the two walked out of the inn and roamed freely in the damp air. The moon shone brightly in the sky, sprinkled over the mist-shrouded village. The mist is like a veil of pure self, caressing all those who breathe the sweet air together. There were still a few bright lights on the side of the closed bathhouse, and it seemed that the eyes of a naughty child were blinking.

"That...... Phenanthrene. After thinking about it, Hailiga still decided to confess his suspicions to Fei He, "Your body ...... Are you okay now? ”

"My body...... Didn't you see that? Fei's face flushed and her head hung down.

"No, no, no...... I didn't mean that......" Shaking his head to resolve the embarrassment, Hailiga said eagerly: "I mean, the stage play of the school festival ...... day"

“…… Not...... Looks like it's okay. Heliga has always been concerned about this issue. After thinking about it for a while, Fei still gave the same reply.

"Actually, what did I find in you that day...... Strange markings. Heliga considered his words, he didn't want to be misunderstood by the girl again.

"Marking?" Fei repeated suspiciously.

"Well, mark. Filled with a certain disgusting aura...... But it seems to be dispelled by a part of my power. ”

“…… Curses or something? Filipe, who knew that Heliga would not joke about such a thing, also became serious, she had heard that there were gods in the East who could use the power of cursed thoughts to kill enemies invisibly, regardless of distance and defenses, although she did not know whether it was true or not.

"Sort of." Contrary to Fei's expectations, Helriga nodded, "But how to say it...... It feels like the imprint didn't seem to be intentional, but more like a whim, and he chose Fei as the target. ”

"That'...... Why did you mention it today? ”

"Because ......," Heliga hesitated, "because, I was on Joshua...... A similar breath was felt. ”

“…… ......Hearing this, Fei's expression flashed a trace of astonishment, and then denied: "Impossible." Joshua's weapons were twin knives and tactical guides equipped with the Guerrilla Guild, and I have never seen him use any Qimen Dun armor, and there is no indication that he did. After thinking about it, Fei denied this possibility.

"But this was something that hadn't happened before I met them." Heliga nodded, and then changed his words, "In other words, even if it wasn't Joshua's doing, this matter definitely has something to do with them...... For example, the familiar feeling in Joshua's body is indicative of ...... He's just...... The ...... of the real murderer behind the scenes ...... test sample? ”

Thinking of this possibility, Heliga looked a little sluggish, and he smiled wryly, "It should be unlikely......

"If you say that...... "Closing her eyes, Fei's thoughts raced through the memories stored in her brain, "When I was at the Academy, one night, it seemed to ...... Joshua went out alone, to a place where he didn't know where. ”

"Didn't you follow? By the way, how do you know? Heliga asked curiously.

"It's just a coincidence. It wasn't particularly late at that time, and he probably went out alone just to look for something that had fallen during the day...... That's what I think...... So I didn't ask too much...... But now that I think about it, Joshua's movements at that time seem a little unnatural......"

"Would you like a glass of hot milk?" The sudden sound startled the two people who were immersed in their thoughts, and it was Joshua who walked over with a smile, "Hot milk before going to bed is very good for the body. ”

"Ah, you're welcome." Heliga warmly took the milk from Joshua, but didn't just pick it up and drink it, "Is it for us?" I'm sorry, but Faye and I are just walking around here and talking...... I didn't want to bother you to come here in person. ”

"It's nothing, this is also a commission from Ma Xu's mother-in-law, she highly recommends the milk here, saying that I will bring it to you personally."

"Really...... Hehe, that's really thanks to Ma Xu's mother-in-law. ”

"Hehe, yes." Joshua nodded, "Since you're talking...... Then I won't bother you. But it's better to come back early and rest, there are still things to do tomorrow. ”

"Hmm." Heliga nodded in response, and Joshua went back to the inn alone.

"Huh...... "Huh" When he confirmed that Joshua had gone far away and could not see what was going on here, Heliga uncorked the bottle of milk that Joshua had sent, and then poured the two bottles of milk on the ground in one go.

"To be honest, it's a little uncomfortable." Fei just pouted at the boy's actions and didn't say much.

"yes...... It's a terrible feeling of trampling on someone else's good intentions...... If this were not the case, who would want to be kind to themselves in this way...... Or someone who thinks he's genuinely friendly to him? Heliga muttered to himself, not that he didn't believe Joshua, but that in this situation, there was really no way to keep him watching. Maybe his current behavior is still out of his good intentions, but it's just ......

"Are you so sure it has to do with Joshua...... "Phyllum guessed," Fei guessed, "and it seems that something new has been discovered?" ”

"No, just remembering some previous discoveries." Heiliga said solemnly, "Fei, don't mention the next words to anyone, remember, anyone." Even I don't want to mention it until things take a turn for the better. ”

"Hmm." Seeing the young man's eyes like this, Fei also responded seriously.

"I doubt it...... This matter has something to do with the archaeologist who behaved strangely. ”

"You mean the one in a tattered suit with patches, a pair of eyes, and a smile all the time...... Archaeologist? ”

"Hmm...... That's it...... Well...... Hmmm......"

“…… What's wrong? Hailiga? Seeing that Heiliga was about to speak and stopped, Faye felt very strange.

"That...... Fei ......" Heiliga said with difficulty, "Are you...... Have you forgotten what that professor looked like...... ”

“…… Ah......" At this moment, Fei Cai was shocked to realize that in addition to what he said just now, he didn't have any impression of his appearance of this man who had been acting with him for hours.

"What a ...... Difficult people. Heliga smiled helplessly.
