Chapter XXVII

After dinner, the group talked around the fire for a while, listening to Ellie's account of her ordeal and comforting her.

The night was dark, and Su Bai said, "It's almost time, it's time to rest." ”

He stood up and said to Laura, "Laura, come and help me, let's set up the tent." ”

"I can help too." Elle immediately stood up and spoke.

"You sit and rest." Sanmantha smiled and pulled her to sit down, "You have been walking alone for so long today, you should rest for a while." It's just a little thing, and they'll get it done in no time. ”

"Okay." Elle hesitated and didn't move again. But there was a burst of regret in my heart.

It was a good opportunity to confirm the goal, but unfortunately it was just missed.

Soon, Su Bai and Laura set up two tents on the side of the road.

He returned to the fire and said, "Go and rest, all of you, and I will keep vigil." ”

"I can also help with the vigil." Elle volunteered again.

"No need." Su Bai refused again, "I'll do it alone." ”

Elle was about to speak again, but Sanmantha interrupted her again: "Leave the vigil to Sue alone." What you need now is a good rest. ”

As he spoke, he pulled her towards a tent with a smile: "Let's go, we can sleep in a tent tonight." ”

Su Bai looked at Laura and Muna: "You guys go and rest too." ”

Laura nodded and said to Su Bai with concern, "Be careful. If anything happens, remember to call us. ”

"I understand." Su Bai said with a smile.

……

Late at night.

In the tent, Elle opened her eyes.

Turning her head sideways, Sanmantha lay on her side and slept soundly.

"Sanmantha?" She shouted tentatively twice, but the girl did not move, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Elle slowly got up and crept out of the tent.

Su Bai, who was sitting by the fire not far away, immediately turned his head: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Uh, nothing." Ellie looked ashamed.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Su Bai raised his eyebrows, "If you need any help, just let me know." ”

"Thank you." Ellie said gratefully, then shyly, "I just...... I want to make it easier. ”

"That's right." Su Bai looked left and right, pointed in the direction of the car, and said, "You go to the back of the car, there should be no danger around." Call me if there is any emergency. ”

"Okay."

Elle nodded, and then quickly walked towards the car, looking like she couldn't hold her back.

Watching her back disappear behind the off-road vehicle, Su Bai squinted his eyes.

After sitting in place for a while, he stood up and walked unhurriedly towards the buggy.

Elle walked to the back of the SUV and immediately stopped, leaning her back against the station.

She took out a small mirror from her body and stretched it out to the side, and the mirror reflected Su Bai's figure sitting by the fire.

After observing for a moment and confirming that Su Bai showed no signs of moving, she withdrew the mirror and carefully opened the car door.

She paid special attention to it just now, and found that Su Bai did not lock the car, probably to facilitate taking things from it at any time. This facilitated her movements.

After opening the car door, Elle got into the car and began rummaging around.

……

In a carriage converted into a command center.

The leather-clad woman stared intently at the screen and said, "Is there a reaction to the target item?" ”

"Nope." The operator shook his head, "From the time Elle came into contact with the target until now, we have never received a feedback signal from the target object. ”

"Maybe they didn't have anything with them at all." The man standing behind the leather-clad woman said, "We should have people search their homes." ”

The leather-clothed woman said without looking back: "Such an important thing, do you think you will not carry it with you?" As for not getting a feedback signal, maybe it's just because they used some method to block out the feedback. Even the connection between the temple and the relics has disappeared, and it's not surprising that our instruments can't detect it. ”

"You know exactly what the truth is!" The man raised his voice, "At such a close distance, if the holy relic is really on them, there is no way we can't receive the signal!" ”

"You're too noisy." The leather-clothed woman said lightly, "I've got the final say here." If you don't want to watch it, get out. ”

"You ......" the man wanted to have a seizure, but he endured it again, hatefully, "You're just doing useless work!" I will report to His Excellency the High Priest what is happening here. ”

"That's your freedom." The leather-clad woman said in a flat tone.

……

Ellie was rummaging carefully in the buggy when a voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"What are you looking for?"

Her heart jumped, revealing that she was taken aback, patted her full chest with her hand, looked back at Su Bai, and said as if giving a sigh...... You scare me. ”

"I'm sorry." Su Bai apologized in a flat tone, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Ai Li without expression, "I want to know, what are you looking for?" ”

"That...... In fact, I'm looking for toilet paper. Elle smiled embarrassedly with no surprise on her face, "I just remembered that I had nothing on me." So ......"

"Toilet paper is right next to you." Su Bai stretched out his hand and pointed to her hand.

Elle turned her head to see a piece of paper on her right hand side propped up in her chair.

She stiffened and forced a smile: "So it's here." It's so dark inside this compartment that I didn't even see it. Belch...... Maybe it's because so much has happened today that I haven't been able to slow down until now. ”

After saying that, she picked up the toilet paper and prepared to get out of the car.

Su Bai supported the side of the car door with his hand.

"Mr. Su, can you let me have a look?" Ellie looked embarrassed, "I seem to be a little ...... Can't help it......"

"Absolutely." Su Bai said in a flat tone, "But before that, you have to answer me a few questions." ”

"What do you want to ask?" Ellie looked puzzled.

In the command compartment, the leather-clad woman said decisively: "Ellie is exposed." Order the squad to go now! ”

"Yes!" Someone immediately answered, and then shouted into the headphones, "Action team, immediately set off to the location of the target person." ”

The leather-clad woman said again, "Let Elle hold him back!" Wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”

In the wilderness, black off-road vehicles are speeding away. The car was full of armed men with grim faces.

On the side of the off-road vehicle, Su Bai stared at Ai Li and said lightly: "The question I want to know is very simple, you will definitely be able to answer it." Like, where are the others? ”

Hearing this, Elle was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "What are you talking about?" I don't really understand ......."
