Out of sorts
Downstairs, Ronin was gone, replaced by William, who was walking back and forth on the table, his face full of worry.
After seeing Wan Jie and Yu Siqi coming down, he hurriedly ran away, and then flapped his wings a few times, as if he wanted to fly directly to each other's side. However, this kind of instinct, which is extremely common in normal birds, could not be applied to this once human William, and it was not surprising that he still fell straight down. If Wan Jie hadn't lifted him casually and held him up, I'm afraid William would have to perform 'Stupid Bird Fall First' in front of Yu Siqi today.
"Thank you, thank you so much. Call... I'm scared to death..."William thanked Wan Jie gratefully in the palm of Wan Jie's hand.
"Thank you for not having to, don't do it next time." Wan Jie returned William to Yu Siqi and said, "It's better for you to take him with you, staying by my side won't help his survival rate in any way." ”
"Oh." Yu Siqi, who took over William, suddenly thought of something, so he asked casually: "By the way, I forgot to ask before, how is your body?" ”
"Ever since those disgusting parasites were stripped away, my life is fine." Wan Jie subconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen, then lowered her arm and said, "It's a pity that those parts that have been removed can't grow back." But it's nothing for me, I can talk, I can sleep, I can think, that's enough. As for eating and drinking, if you can't do it, you basically don't think about it anymore. ”
"Speaking of which, how did you get parasitized. Also, do you know who the masked guy you were downstairs before? Since the other party did not have any resistance to his question, Yu Siqi felt that maybe he should continue to ask in order to get more details.
"Even if I told you, what could I do? It's too late. ”
Wan Jie's tone was very indifferent, and at the same time, she didn't know if it was Yu Siqi's illusion. He felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a lot and it was much quieter. Only the slightest movement faintly coming from outside the house made him realize that he could hear more than just his own heartbeat.
"It's already happened, but if you're willing to tell me more details, it might help me think." Yu Siqi explained euphemistically, the other party hesitated for a moment, and then turned to the door and said, "Come in, it's not an unsightly secret talk." There's no need to sneak around at the door. ”
Gong Chen took the lead, Father An was behind him, and Luo Ning, who was following them, and the three of them walked into the house one after another. During this period, Luo Ning seemed to whisper: "I told you a long time ago, don't try to eavesdrop on the tax officer, she is a god!" ”
"Yes, yes, you're right." Gong Chen waved his hand nonchalantly, then walked directly to Yu Siqi's side, bumped him lightly and said, "Yes, brother." I secretly chatted with women here by myself, and left a few of us guys out to dry. ”
"That's not my intention, you probably want to be crooked."
Yu Siqi's expression was surprisingly calm, even though he might have scolded all these guys in his heart, even Father An. After all, it is reasonable that he should stop Gong Chen with Luo Ning, you must know that it was precisely because their whereabouts were discovered by Wan Jie that the topic that was supposed to go on came to an abrupt end.
"Look, maybe we should go out." Father An looked at Wan Jie, who was no longer silent, and began to regret why he didn't stop Gong Chen's eavesdropping in time.
"No, since you want to hear it, then I'll just say it."
Wan Jie sat down next to the table with a very calm expression: "You asked me how I was parasitized, I can't give an answer to this question." Because ever since I was summoned by the Heavenly Cup, I've been carrying those disgusting things. Maybe it's the price of resurrection, or maybe it's deliberate when it's called. What I can tell you is that the other two pillars were also parasitized, and their luck didn't seem to be as good as mine. ”
"You mean, did you ever die?"
Father Ann seemed to care about this detail, and his expression was a little impatient.
"Of course, didn't Luo Ning tell you that our place called Wanjiatang was calculated by an organization called the Agency a long time ago?" Wan Jie said in a sad tone: "Under the pretext of the principle of peaceful coexistence, we secretly disturbed our space, and finally caused all of us to die in the turbulence of time and space, broken bones!" ”
When she said the last few words, Wan Jie's expression turned from sadness to anger, and she even slapped the table hard, directly slapping the corner of the table.
It is practical not to hear the three words 'Wanjiatang', Yu Siqi already seems to understand something, let alone hear the word 'institution'. However, what he didn't expect was the reaction of other people, even William, who had finally returned to his pocket, looked at Wan Jie with a stunned expression, as if she had said something particularly shocking. Gong Chen, who didn't have any hidden expression, opened his mouth wide like a fool, and stuffed his fist into his mouth. Father Ann frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Judging by your performance, even if I want to pretend that you have nothing to do with it, it will be difficult for me to do it." Wan Jie stood up again, looked at everyone with an angry face and said, "Say, are you also from that institution?" ”
"Don't be in a hurry to get angry, it's been so many years. Maybe it's not the same organization! Father An said kindly, "Besides, can you temporarily let go of the hatred of the past for the sake of us having saved you?" After all, in a way, don't we have something more important than settling old feuds? ”
"Hmph, I'd like to see with my own eyes what else you can do."
Wan Jie took a deep breath, her angry expression gradually returned to her previous facial paralysis, and her tone slowly became devoid of mood fluctuations.
"Let's go, Lijia is already ready."
After seeing Wan Jie regain her composure, Luo Ning boldly walked up to her and said, "In addition, I have something I want to report to the tax collector, according to the terminal of the maintenance station, we may have to go to the sanctuary through the armory." ”
"Is the next pit out of service?" Wan Jie asked majestically.
"According to the images scanned by the radar, it seems that there has been an 'illegal invasion' there. This is the only one I've collected so far" Ronin pulled a tiny crystal from his bosom and threw it into the air, then spewed out a breath of flame from his mouth and set it on fire. As the flames gradually extinguished, the crystals that had been burned by the flames actually showed some 3D images. Moreover, Yu Siqi almost didn't need to put in much effort to identify Don't worry about Xing, Fu Xi, and Eun Min from the 3D images that were not too clear.
Probably because they had already learned their lessons, this time they were very calm about the image, and each of them tried to hide their surprise and shock.
"Then let's go to the armory first, and remember to bring all the backup energy with you. Also, Wan Jie didn't seem to notice the abnormality of the crowd, and glanced at them with a mysterious expression and said, "It's about to be night, because the journey is relatively long." It may not be particularly peaceful, so please be careful. ”
"That's nature." Yu Siqi breathed a sigh of relief, is this considered that they have fooled the past? Probably!
Gong Chen, who also felt that the situation had eased a little, asked a question that he thought was very smart: "Why don't we just jump over, just like you brought us here before, wouldn't it be more convenient?" ”
"The armory's jump interface must be opened from the inside, so tell me how you can jump there without visiting there?"
Wan Jie's rhetorical question directly stumped Gong Chen, and after saying this, she strode out, while Luo Ning followed.
Looking at the back of the other party's departure, Yu Siqi vaguely saw the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, is that proud? Or is it just a twitch of the facial muscles?
