"Oh, Asna! You can go back to the base with us now. Leonai nodded.

"This ...... No need. Zhang Chai was a little dumbfounded, he had to find a good way to get out.

Leonai thought that Zhang Chai was afraid of their killer identity, so she hugged Zhang Chai with a big grin and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay!" You don't have to worry about safety! ”

At this time, the red pupil took off the black cloak behind him, covered Zhang Chai's body, and said softly: "The wind is strong at night, you just came out of the water, and you will get sick if you don't keep warm." ”

"Thank you......" Zhang Chai knew that Chitong was a cold-faced and hot-hearted girl, he sniffed the smell on the black cloak, there was no girl's fragrance, but a lingering strong bloody gas, obviously Chitong had killed many beasts and dangerous species before.

"Let's go!"

Before Zhang Chai could finish thanking him, Leona had already dragged Zhang Chai towards the NightRaid stronghold.

"Wait! Not really anymore! Zhang Chai hurriedly shouted.

No matter how Zhang Chai shirked it, the three girls didn't want to let him go, after all, he knew the location of the NightRaid stronghold, and out of security concerns, they wouldn't let him go lightly.

Soon, the four of them came to the bottom of the large stone fort.

Zhang Chai's mood at the moment can be imagined, he has prepared for the worst, but what makes him feel strange is that there is no movement in the stone castle, as if it is empty.

"Is it just the three of you living in such a big place?" Zhang asked as if unintentionally.

"Of course it's not just the three of us!" Leonay explained, "However, there is still a battle ahead, and except for a few of us who have stayed in the stronghold and are on standby, the rest of our companions have rushed to support the front. ”

"That's it......" Zhang Chai listened, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that only Chitong and the others were left here, but fortunately the others were not there......

However, in the next second, Zhang Chai's face froze, because he saw a black-robed girl walking out of the stone castle with a laundry tub, it was Gu Xinyan, and her eyes fell on Zhang Chai in an instant.

Bang!

The laundry tub fell from Gu Xinyan's hand.

Oops...... Zhang Chai's pupils shrank, and his mood became nervous, Gu Xinyan had already seen him like this, even if he didn't have to check with Evil, he could recognize him, as long as Gu Xinyan called out his name, the situation would be irreparable.

"Hey, Gu Xinyan." Leonai was the first to speak: "This is Asna, a poor little girl from the countryside, who was attacked by two dangerous species on the road and fell into the water, and was rescued by us. ”

"Ah...... Snaz? Gu Xinyan narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, sensing Zhang Chai's somewhat nervous gaze, and she did not directly expose Zhang Chai's identity.

Zhang Chai looked empty and did not answer.

"Aisna, huh? You come with me, and I'll take you into clean clothes. Gu Xinyan walked over expressionlessly, took Zhang Chai's hand and entered the stone castle.

The two came to a small room in silence all the way, Gu Xinyan locked the door, turned around slowly, and asked slowly, "What do you want to do?" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Chai knew that Gu Xinyan would not expose him for the time being, so he covered his forehead helplessly, "It's not that I want to come here, I'm forced......"

Saying that, Zhang Chai said that he had unintentionally blackened, and in the end, he said depressedly: "I can't control my dark side, in case the darkness faces you and kills you......"

Gu Xinyan interrupted coldly: "What about your killing spree? We are enemies, and even if you kill us, you will take it for granted. ”

"Enemies? Not necessarily! Zhang Chai retorted: "The hidden way has not been found yet, the mission time is also sufficient, and there are still nearly two years enough for us to find it, we don't need to distinguish our positions so quickly, right?" You're not going to give up on hiding your life, are you?! ”

Gu Xinyan said frankly: "That's right, I gave up." ”

Zhang Chai was stunned, and then asked, "Why?" ”

Gu Xinyan said gloomily: "Our main mission line and mission restrictions are very clear, we must kill you and ensure that the revolutionary army wins and establishes a new country, otherwise the mission will fail!" Moreover, not everyone can benefit from it, perhaps, some hidden ways only work for you, or only for us. ”

Zhang Chai sighed in his heart, what Gu Xinyan said was not unreasonable, when he was on the island, he had heard that the hidden way of life was just a special shortcut to complete the main line of the task, and no one had stipulated that everyone could take this shortcut.

"You understand, right?" Gu Xinyan said lightly: "If you simply rely on hiding your way to survive and show mercy to our subordinates, you will be killed by your own innocence sooner or later." ”

Looking at Gu Xinyan, whose expression was extremely flat, Zhang Chai felt a chill in his heart, even if he killed all the other survivors, he would not be bothered by this, but with Gu Xinyan, it was different!

In fact, he never really thought about whether he would kill Gu Xinyan one day, or let Gu Xinyan die in the hands of others......

He only now realizes that he has always used hiding his life as an excuse to escape from reality, and once his ideals and reality collide, the truth may become even more cruel than he imagined...... He didn't dare to think about it, he didn't want to give up lightly until the hidden way of life appeared.

"Gu Xinyan, think about it, when we were in AngelBeats, hiding the way to survive played a role!" Zhang Chai tried to justify: "Me and you and Lao Zhu, everyone survived!" Don't give up hope, believe me, okay? ”

Gu Xinyan said in a low voice: "I am willing to believe you, but Liu Shu and Luo Fan will not believe you." ”

Zhang Chai smiled and answered: "It's okay, it's enough for you to believe me, it doesn't matter to others!" ”

With Zhang Chai's words, Gu Xinyan's complexion improved for a long time, "Hmm...... I'll get you a dress to change into. ”

After speaking, Gu Xinyan walked to the wardrobe and rummaged through for a while, most of the women's clothes were not suitable for Zhang Chai to wear, so she had to take out a relatively neutral white martial arts training uniform, hand it to Zhang Chai and asked, "Do you want to go to the hot spring to take a bath?" ”

Zhang Chai was already tired and sweaty, and his body was still wet with water, so he naturally wanted to rinse it, so he nodded and said, "Okay." By the way, Gu Xinyan, can you help me bring the things? My sword and armor were lost at the bottom of the waterfall to the south. ”

"Hmm." Gu Xinyan readily agreed, and first took Zhang Chai to the hot spring pool behind the stone castle, and then went to the waterfall in the south to help Zhang Chai get back the weapons and equipment.

Crash!

Soaking into the dense hot spring pool, Zhang Chai sighed comfortably, feeling that the fatigue of his whole body was swept away under the soak of the hot spring. (To be continued.) )
