It's still hot

With the support of walnuts, Yu Siqi, who was able to relax a little, decided to use questions to divert his attention in order to relieve the pain in his body due to excessive exercise.

"How did you and Peanut get in?"

"Like you, don't you always use that watch as a receiver and... Wait, what about my watch? Walnut was surprised and raised Yu Siqi's left arm very high, trying to find any clues on the scarred arm.

"I'm sorry, that thing looks broken." Yu Siqi said slightly apologetically.

"Broken? Looks like I'm going to have to hand in a report again. Walnut said with a wry smile: "But it's not the first time anyway, I guess those stewards have long been used to it." ”

"Do you know where the peanuts go?" Yu Siqi asked.

"I don't know at all, have you seen her? Ever since she beat me up, I've passed out in the dungeon below. Speaking of which, it is thanks to you that I am fortunate to wake up! Walnut subconsciously touched his cheek, which had been swollen, and said thoughtfully.

"Why did you get beaten by her?" Yu Siqi asked puzzledly, and then he recalled the scene he had seen before, and it seemed that there was some connection?

"Hey... It's all careless, and peanuts fall behind this very weird scene. We met a little boy and then lost his mind without any defense. Walnut said embarrassedly, "I just remember that I was in a daze and was controlled by some guy with a mask, and Peanut seemed to be controlled by another person." Anyway, it's not a glorious thing, I hope you don't hype it up in the agency in the future, it feels too embarrassing. ”

"Not at all," Yu Siqi considered what Walnut said, according to his own experience along the way, he didn't see any little boys, could it be that he missed it?

"Speaking of which, if I meet that old man with a mask again, I must ask him for advice a few times, and I will be ashamed." Walnut took advantage of the strange thinking and casually said big things to give herself courage.

"No need," Yu Siqi whispered.

"It's too quiet, what are you talking about?" Walnut asked, turning her face.

"I said, 'No need,' the masked guy should be dead." Yu Siqi raised his voice slightly, and his mind was still trying to connect what he had seen and heard along the way.

"Are you sure?" Walnut looked at Yu Siqi suspiciously.

"Surely, isn't his body right in front of you?" Yu Siqi pointed to the corpse that still had a long sword in its chest and said, "If you don't mind, you can go and confirm." ”

"Wait, you're saying this guy is the Masked Man?" Walnut's gaze wandered back and forth between the corpse and Yu Siqi, and he asked in surprise, "Although I admit that he has a good helmet to cover his big face, but what about the mask?" And I met that masked man wearing a sacrificial robe! This guy wears armor. ”

"Do I have to lie to you?" Yu Siqi pulled out the weapon inserted in his chest, shook the blood stains on it, put the sword back into its sheath and said, "Let's go, we still have to find out where the peanuts are." ”

"Do you have a clue?" The walnut that was originally supporting Yu Siqi was now being dragged by the other party to run, this contrast would not cause him discomfort, after all, in his opinion, the location in front of Siqi was so 'unfathomable'.

"No, but I know there's a guy who should know her whereabouts." Yu Siqi looked up at the big hole above, and then observed the surrounding terrain, and found that the road leading to the upper floor had been blocked by gravel, and it seemed that there was only one way to go up...

"Are you looking for a way to get there?" Walnut suddenly interjected: "This is easy to do!" ”

With a slight lift of his wrist, a straight slide appeared on the ground, and then with the adjustment of his fingers, the steps also appeared on it.

"Oh... This is good. Yu Siqi took the lead on the water ladder that looked very unreliable, but the touch of the soles of his feet gave him the illusion of stepping on a stone.

After the two of them came to the upper floor, Yu Siqi began to feel the extent of the destruction here. The corridor with almost no foothold has become one of the obstacles that cannot move forward, although it is not impossible for him to fly over, but Walnut has taken the initiative to fill the gaps with the current of water, and motioned for him to walk through.

Since this guy is so knowledgeable, why should he live up to his kindness?

In the end, Yu Siqi relied on his previous memories to bring the walnut to the woman's house.

Look at the dilapidated floor next to it, and then look at the unscathed doors and walls. Even if Yu Siqi doesn't say anything, I'm afraid Walnut can guess a point or two.

Yu Siqi, who was about to try to push the door in, found that the moment he was about to do so, the door opened on its own.

The furnishings in the room were still the same familiar scene, except that the woman seemed to have died of exhaustion, and her clothes were already wet with blood.

Walnut, who was a little concerned, flipped the female corpse over, observed it for a moment and analyzed: "The blood stains have not dried, the muscles are not completely stiff, it seems that she has not been dead for a long time." The appearance is delicate, but if you look carefully at the corners of the eyes, there are still some tail lines, and it is estimated that he is not young. The wound in the chest was deep, but the cross-section was small, and it appeared to be the result of a stab wound with a thin-bladed weapon. ”

When analyzing this, Walnut moved her gaze to Yu Siqi, looked at the long sword on his back again, nodded with a subtle expression, and continued: "In addition, according to my personal speculation, she should have met you before her death. ”

"It's hard not to guess," Yu Siqi walked around where Walnut was standing and came to a very luxurious and soft double bed. Looking at the lonely pillow, Yu Siqi suddenly had an indescribable subtlety, although it was only fleeting, but it made him care very much.

As he moved his gaze away from the bed, Walnut asked, "So, you brought me here just to let me see another 'dead man', right?" I don't deny that she's beautiful, but she's just a corpse, and I don't have a particular need for that. ”

"The reason I was able to find before was what she told me, and she wasn't dead at the time." Yu Siqi decided to tell the truth, because he could already see that Walnut was suspicious of something.

"Didn't you kill her," Walnut asked with a look of distrust.

"I'm not sure, maybe I did it, or maybe she's not going to survive on her own." Yu Siqi said calmly: "But there is one thing I have to state in advance, I will not regret what I did to her." After all, she did more to hurt me. ”

"Just in self-defense? Well, you don't need to explain it to me so clearly. Anyway, I won't write everything that happens here into the report in detail, at most I will mention a few words. Walnut waved her hand and said, "If you tell the truth, then if she can tell you where I am, then she must be one of the bad people who threw me into the dungeon." Anyway, you can't get rid of it. ”

"It's great that you understand, and I'm worried that you might cause discomfort from it!" Yu Siqi quipped.

"How is that possible, doing so many years in the field. There are two things I don't want to become, the first is that I would rather trust my teammates than my opponents. The second is to pity your teammates rather than your opponents. Walnut said frankly: "These two unwritten rules are given to you, which can be regarded as a little life lesson I gave you." ”

"That's so kind!" As soon as Yu Siqi finished saying this, he suddenly felt some slight movement in the wardrobe behind the bed, and the voice was very soft, but it soon became louder, and he could hear itβ€”it was footsteps.

The two looked at each other, their expressions suddenly becoming serious, and they stared at every corner of that wardrobe together.
