Chapter 279: Equivalent Exchange
"Actually...... I lied to you. She said slowly.
I wasn't too surprised, but I accepted it calmly, in fact...... I might have known she didn't tell me the truth?
Her performance was so clumsy that it was easy for others to see it.
"Actually, I'm not a part-time student, and I'm here to work for one thing, but I can't tell you," she explained slowly, as if opening up the conversation.
I didn't speak, but listened quietly.
"But...... I may be running out of things...... Can anyone help me......" She hugged her shoulders tightly and shook slightly!
I couldn't bear it, so I tapped her on the shoulder slightly.
She seemed to be enduring some pain, and her eyebrows were tightly wrinkled!
"You...... Are you okay put? I asked cautiously, but apparently ...... Her situation is not promising.
"I'm so scared...... I can't hold on anymore......" She slowly looked up, tears already crawling down her cheeks before she knew it.
His eyes were slightly red and swollen, like a bullied rabbit.
"It's okay, I'm here—"
Just as I was secretly guarding her, there was a loud bang in the room!
I was shocked and quickly blocked the girl behind me!
Looking back, I was shocked! I saw that the door had just been knocked down, and it fell to the ground, and a burst of dust suddenly kicked up, and the furnishings in the room were also staggered because of the huge force!
The mess all over the ground......
My heart suddenly became alert, and suddenly there was an aura in the room that was not inferior to this!
Staring cautiously at the gate, I suddenly felt that the girl behind me seemed to be stiff!
Could it be...... I immediately squeezed my paper note and slowly ...... A figure appeared.
That person is ...... When I saw his face, the whole person was not good.
The shopkeeper...... How could it be here!? And his expression is ...... now It's completely different from the first time I saw it!
At this time, his face seemed to have ten thousand years of frost, and he stared coldly at the situation in the room, and the moment he saw me, his pupils seemed to shrink.
"You ......" he said coldly, his eyes glancing back and forth between me and her as if they had been quenched.
I was secretly alert in my heart, this man's aura ...... It seems to be a lot stronger than when I first met him, what exactly has he been through during this time?
But before I could think about it, he slowly walked towards us!
I quickly got up from the ground—
"What do you want to do?" Looking back at him coldly, I only felt my whole body stiffen a little.
"Huh...... You actually carried me behind your back......" The man suddenly sneered, and a pair of eyes snapped at the girl behind him!
"Nope! I didn't! The girl behind her screamed loudly, as if she had seen something frightened......
I immediately turned around and saw that the girl was already shrunk in the corner and shivering, but her eyes were looking at the man in horror.
Between them...... What exactly is the relationship? Why do I feel ...... It's getting weirder?
A few days ago, she was still gentle when she talked about her boss, but now she ......
The contrast between the front and back is so great that I can't accept it.
"What do you think......" The man slowly walked up to the girl, pinching the girl's chin without pity, "Will I believe it?" ”
The girl shook her head in horror, but ...... But he couldn't say anything.
"You misunderstood, I just watched her come over with a fever." I quickly explained, and the man glanced at me coldly, and the look in his eyes ...... It's like you're going to overthrow me.
My heart pounded, and I carefully squeezed my paper tightly.
What the hell is this man...... Was it all pretended before?
"You should know...... The fate of betraying me......" He ignored me and continued to crouch down......
"I'm not...... I didn't! The girl shook her head frantically, but I could clearly see that her chin had been pinched purple.
"What do you want to do when you let her go?" I couldn't bear it anymore and shouted.
Bang –
Just between the lightning and flint, I only felt ...... A huge force pressed me directly against the wall, and an extra hand instantly appeared on my neck!
When I came back to my senses, my neck had been firmly choked by the other party!
It became more and more difficult to breathe, and I struggled to break his hand, using all my strength to prevent him from strangling me directly......
But his strength was unusually great, and I almost felt like I was going to die...... He let go of me abruptly.
I immediately gasped for air and looked at him cautiously.
He looked at me in the eyes...... There seemed to be a hint of pity and disdain, the kind of pride that didn't take me seriously at all.
In his opinion...... I might not be good enough to be his opponent, right?
Immediately after, he continued to squat in front of the girl.
"I know what you're thinking, everything about you...... Can't escape my eyes, have you forgotten......" The corners of his mouth gradually hooked up a mocking arc.
I struggled to stand up against the wall, and my neck felt like it was going to be broken, and I almost couldn't breathe.
"I ...... I didn't ......" Her voice gradually lowered, and she didn't dare to look up into the man's eyes.
I instinctively wanted to pull out the paper talisman, but ...... Suddenly, a pair of eagle-like eyes looked over—
He seemed to know what I was doing, and I froze in place!
"Hehe, don't make me feel too bored......" he said slowly, his eyes ...... Seemed to glance in my direction.
Then, before I could react, he walked straight out of the room—
There was not a trace of mud and water, and by the time I reacted and went out, there was no one outside.
"It's useless...... It's late......" A faint voice came from behind me, and my heart shook.
Her expression became hollow and terrifying, and her eyes were fixed in the direction of the doorway, where the man had last disappeared.
"Are you alright?" I helped her up, but ...... She seemed to have lost her soul, and she stayed there in a daze.
"He found out...... It's over......" she muttered, and I still didn't understand what it meant.
suddenly remembered the method used by the little monk before, which made people recover from the fright.
I quickly took out a piece of paper and drew a simple drawing talisman in the shape of the little monk, and then pasted it on the door of her head!
Slowly......
"I ...... Why do you ......" She looked at me stunned, but her eyes were no longer as empty as before.
I was secretly relieved and quickly removed the paper from her head.
"It's okay, don't worry." I tapped her on the shoulder, but she was stunned, as if she remembered something.
"He's ...... Got it! She grabbed my arm hard and gasped as she pinched me.
I nodded, but ...... What did he know? And I don't understand why she's scared of being like this, even though he's better than me right now.
"Who the hell is he?" I secretly had a bad thought in my mind.
That person won't be ...... What is the goal of my mission? But I clearly remember that it was the old man.
"You don't understand...... He was ...... at night. It's going to be like this, and now he's found out...... I'm done......" she explained in fits and starts, but I still couldn't put them together in one round.
Could it be ...... Isn't this man the same person day and night?
But no matter how much I asked, she wouldn't say anything, presumably ...... Frightened.
……
It was soon morning, and she rested for half the night, and the dark circles under her eyes seemed to be even more visible.
"I'll go to work in a while, you can go back." She washed her face and said to me.
"I'll send you—"
"No, he saw it...... It's going to be over. She immediately interrupted me, as if she remembered what had happened last night and was still afraid.
But she wouldn't tell me the secret between them.
If only you knew...... I should be able to figure out who I'm going to be on this mission.
But...... It's a big problem for whoever it is, and it doesn't seem like I'm at the level I'm at right now.
But what to do? There is not much time left for me and Xiao Li, especially Xiao Li...... Thinking of this, I strengthened my heart again.
It is important to move quickly and not to delay.
Although there was no river she crossed together, but ...... I went back to my dorm during the day and came back again.
In the afternoon, the weather was hot and humid, and there were a lot of people with cold drinks, and when I came, there were already a few female college students sitting in the store, so I had to find a corner to sit over.
"Why are you here?" Soon, she walked up to me and asked in a low voice beside me.
"Don't worry, I'm here to help you." I replied in the same voice, only to see her darker and more complicated expression, and then, like a broken can, she took the menu and left before I could order.
I was slightly stunned, could this be......
Turning my head, I saw a familiar figure-
The store manager! He was also sitting in the corner, and when I looked at him, he also raised his head and smiled at me.
I was shocked, he was ...... What's going on? Whether it's look or action...... It's like the man from last night.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would definitely not have believed it was a person.
But he just smiled at me, and there was a look in his eyes that I couldn't understand......
But before I could figure it out, he lowered his head and continued to read a book in his hand.
"Let's leave after drinking, I'll have a treat." After a while, she held a cup of milk tea in front of me.
"Why is he here?" I lowered my voice, and out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at the man who was still reading.
"I told you to leave it alone, this matter has nothing to do with you, if you don't want to die, don't get involved!" She glared at me unhappily and went on to her own business.
I had no choice but to sit there alone, looking at the man cautiously......
But as if he hadn't seen it, he was fully focused on the book in his hand.
I can't see what he's looking at from this angle, but...... The man was clearly ignoring my existence and not even looking at me.
Although they are similar to the man I saw last night, they ...... This should not be taken lightly.
Everything last night seems to be still vivid, and if it weren't for his ruthlessness, she and I probably wouldn't have seen the sun today.
The man spent the whole afternoon reading in silence, as if there was no one around.
It was getting dark, and I thought the man was going to stay here forever, but...... As soon as eight o'clock came, he immediately got up from his seat!
I was a little sleepy, but I was so frightened by him that I immediately came to my senses.
And then...... Walked straight out!
He's ...... I also stood up, but before I could follow, I was immediately stopped by the girl!
"Don't go, you're no match for him." She sighed helplessly, "I told you why didn't you leave?" You know—"
"I know, that's why I'm here." I interrupted her.
"Who ......the hell are you," a glint of unknown meaning flashed in her eyes.
