Chapter 90: Seven Killing Stones (11)
"Nain, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go back as soon as I go. With this instruction, Li Mengxi opened the door. With Hinata's words "go all the way", he began his trip to visit Sailington Worm.
The target of this character also lives in the "Twelveth-Rate" city, so if there is no accident, it will only take about an hour for Li Mengxi to bring people back.
During this time, Naon Hinata was in charge of protecting Adele Thomas. Although the mission is only to prevent the door from being opened for any suspicious characters, it is necessary after all, there is a precedent for Shoy Bach.
As for why the three of them can't go together, Hinata Nain is about to ask now.
"Adele, why don't you want to go to that Sailington Worm yourself? β
Adele groaned slightly, then sighed helplessly.
"If Miss Hinata is alone, it's not something that can't be said. In reality, Celington was my sister's childhood sweetheart and had always been interesting to me. Last year, about long after that celebration party, he finally confessed to me that he wanted to have a relationship with me. β
"You, you refused, didn't you? "Naon Hinata stated the plain truth. If Adele had accepted it, how could he still be alone now.
"Hmm. Sure enough, Adele nodded, "It's just that something unpleasant happened when he rejected him." β
"Exactly, what?"
"Alas!" the memories that came to his mind made Adele sigh again, "At that time, the anti-wolf system hadn't disappeared, right?" β
The anti-wolf system is a privilege given to only female players at the beginning of the game, and severe sanctions are imposed on the sexually harassing guy at their own discretion. However, this kind of thing can't be done in reality, so after the second big change last year, for some reason, this game, which blindly pursues a sense of reality, canceled this function.
However, the anti-wolf system actually disappeared in November, and since Adele said that she was accused of the white not long after the celebration banquet, it must still be in the time period when the anti-wolf system was still there.
Thinking like this, Hinata also probably guessed what that unpleasant thing would be.
"You, should you ......?"
"That's it. At that time, the guy grabbed my hand and didn't let go, and I charged him on the spur of the moment. β
Adele's "once-a-bit" statement doesn't sound too serious, but Nayin Hinata, who has seen the scene of the wolf prevention system working with her own eyes, knows the truth.
Even if it's just a "once", it is still the power that can send a two-meter-tall strong man five meters away in one go. That's definitely a lethal voltage in reality, plus the game's incomparably good creature engine and physics engine...... People who have eaten it once will have a fear of women for at least two weeks.
"I see, it's no wonder you don't want to come in person. β
"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the 'murder in the city', I would have been prepared to never see him again for the rest of my life. As he spoke, Adele took a sip of his coffee, "It's really unlucky." There are not a few people who like you, but the people you like don't like you, is there anything more unlucky in life than this?"
Sounds like Adele is very popular.
Thinking like this, Hinata Nain also took a sip of coffee and took a sip tentatively, after all, it was someone who worked hard to make a sip and didn't drink it, so sorry for others. And she also took advantage of this action to carefully look at Adele's appearance and demeanor, and then compared it with herself.
It's not that bad, is it? And in terms of face, he seems to be superior. And obviously in the real world, there are so many people courting each year. Why are you not welcome here?
Hinata was a little puzzled, and even forgot the bitterness of coffee.
In fact, Naon Hinata, who is one of the best among female players in terms of appearance, manners, and temperament, is of course very popular. She just doesn't pay attention every day, otherwise it's easy to find yourself walking down the street with a high rate of turning heads.
It's just that it's not the grass that often foils the daffodil of Naine Hinata, but the beast. Since Li Mengxi beat the five people who had bullied Hinata Naine last year to the point that there was only a trace of HP left, and after hanging for a night in the wild full of monsters, there are timid people who can even beat their hearts faster when they pass by on the road.
Therefore, the reason why there are not many men around Naine Hinata is not that she is not popular, but that Li Mengxi really can't be provoked. This, of course, has not been perceived by either of these men until now.
"In this regard, Miss Hinata is much luckier. At this time, Adele turned the conversation to Naine Hinata, "It's good to have someone like Mr. Li as a boyfriend." β
"Ahem!" Hearing this, Nane Hinata, who had been drinking coffee, was choked hard.
"I, I, I, I and that guy aren't lovers!
Seeing her panicked, Adele had the idea of playing tricks.
"Well, in other words, Hinata has no feelings for Mr. Li at all. Then I can do it!"
"No!" Hinata became even more alarmed, "This, how can you say it? It's still a little ambiguous, although I don't know what that guy thinks, so it's my own speculation, but it's all my unrequited love...... Alas!"
Seeing that Naine Hinata said that she was discouraged, Adele felt a little embarrassed.
"That, sorry. Let's talk about something else. β
In this way, Adele saw that something was wrong and forcibly changed the subject. After that, there has never been such a poor situation.
About an hour and a half later, the two girls were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Knock, knock, Nayin, it's me, are you all right?"
Hearing the voice, Hinata Nain didn't answer immediately. She glanced at Adele, then stood up and walked briskly to the door, peering through the mirror.
It's not someone else's disguise, it's the real Li Mengxi, and behind him is a white boy wearing cobalt-colored heavy armor with an impatient face, probably Sairington Wurm.
After confirming it, Nane Hinata finally opened the door with a proud look.
"As you can see, all is well. β
"Yes. The eldest lady is amazing. Seeing Hinata Nain's expression, Li Mengxi smiled helplessly, and at the same time took a step. Seeing this, the former immediately dodged to the side.
After Li Mengxi entered the house, he also dodged to the side, giving up the first position of Celington behind him.
"Well, long time no see. Adele smiled awkwardly and said hello.
Celington, on the other hand, snorted coldly, didn't say anything, walked straight to the sofa group against the wall, picked one and sat down. After sitting down, he crossed his arms in front of him with a very remarkable look, as if to show off the fact that you invited me.
"This guy, what's the spirit. Hinata, Nain approached Li Mengxi a little unhappily and complained in a low voice.
"Don't say that, Nain. Li Mengxi also whispered relief, "He's hiding his fear." β
Hearing this, Hinata Nain took another closer look at Celington. found that the middle finger of the other party's right hand was trembling nervously, so seeing that the person wearing heavy armor should also be looking for a sense of security.
Then I felt sorry for him. We have to catch the killer as soon as possible. β
"He wasn't necessarily afraid of the murderer, but he was just instinctively afraid of Miss Adele. As for the reason, you should have asked. β
Hearing this, Hinata Nain showed a surprised expression.
"You get it. β
Li Mengxi didn't continue to answer, but just signaled with his eyes that it was Celington, who was sitting there, who complained, and then took two steps forward.
"So, without further ado, can Miss Adèle please tell you what you are talking about?"
"Hmm. Adele nodded with a sad expression. "Let's start with the list you showed me. The people on there are our former teammates. β
Saying that, Adele looked at Celington, so the latter said angrily: "That's right, it's just that there are two people missing." β
"One is my sister, Saylu. The other is that my sister's husband, of course, is the husband in this game world, called Langdon Alain. β
Hearing this, Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain were taken aback.
Saylu, that is, Adele's sister, also said earlier that she had died in battle a year and a half ago, and it was normal not to have her name on the list. But what's going on with Landon Allan?
This person is also dead? The list doesn't really refer to teammates who were on the same team in the past? or......
"That, who is Langdon Alain?" while Li Mengxi was thinking, Hinata Nain asked directly.
"It's the murderer you're looking for. Celington said casually, a sneering expression that made the claim more credible.
"Not necessarily!" replied Adele, snorting angrily.
"Why not necessarily? That guy must have written out all the possible victims, and what he didn't write was only the murderer except for the dead, wasn't it! That guy is now aiming at you and me, and you're still helping him talk, and his head is broken. β
"I said ......" Hinata Nain just wanted to say a few words for Adele, but was stopped by Li Mengxi with a gesture.
"Yes or no, it is impossible to say yet. Miss Adele, please keep going with this. β
"Okay. I don't think he wrote Mr. Alain because he didn't think he was his companion. β
"What's going on?"
"This team of ours is formed like this, first my sister, me, and Celrington are three people who have known each other from the beginning, and then we recruit the other five people one after another. And Mr. Alain moved from the lone wanderer after we had been active in this lineup for quite some time, that is, halfway through the monkhood. β
"So, aren't you considered companions?"
"There are reasons for this, but not the main one. Mr. Alain joined us when he saved us in a battle, and perhaps because of this, my sister developed a crush on him, and then gradually turned into a romance, and then ......"
Sayru turned the team into something of his own. Mornington interjected.
"Sister didn't!" Adele immediately replied.
"Mr. Worm, what do you mean by that? This time, Li Mengxi asked Celington's opinion.
"Hmph! It's eccentric! The loot that our team catches is based on the captain's distribution system, and by the way, Saylu is the captain. Originally, she was also a good leader, but after that man joined, she would find various reasons to give more to that man, whether it was money or props. After the two announced that they were going to get married, we all understood that Saylu had always been partial to her lover. β
"Nonsense!" Adele roared angrily, tears splashing from his eyes, "Mr. Alain has indeed received more than anyone else every time, but isn't that because he has contributed much more to the team than anyone else! My sister saved us that time, and Mr. Alain saved us that time! You were just jealous of him! That's why you wanted to kill him at that time!"
"I, I didn't do anything!"
Seeing the guilty look on Cyrington's face, Li Mengxi concluded that there was something inside.
At this time, Hinata Nain couldn't help but ask Adele: "At that time, was it ......?"
"Well, that's the battle in which my sister died. That time was a battle of the small boss in the field, and there was no problem with tactical planning, configuration, and training, but in the middle of the battle, there was a mistake in the position of the monster! According to the usual practice, Mr. Alan stepped forward and single-handedly restrained the three monsters. It was at that critical time that another attraction occurred. Although there was only one, it posed a mortal threat to Mr. Alain. My sister died protecting Mr. Alain. β
As she spoke, Adele let out a sneer.
"Huh. Blame this kind of low-level mistake, it happened twice in a row! I think it wasn't a mistake at all, it was deliberate, it was murder, it was the six of you, no, it was the seven of us who conspired to kill Mr. Alain!"
"So, didn't I say it had nothing to do with me! The first time it was Bart, the second time it was Warren!"
It's the first victim and the third confirmed victim.,It seems that this incident has something to do with this strategy mistake.γ
Li Mengxi thought as he listened.
"It's true that those two people are to blame, but what did we do!" Adele continued to scold, "At that time, from the standpoint, any of us were capable of helping Mr. Alain, at least helping him survive the blow in the back!
"Miss Adele, is there something about you here?"
"Love begets hate. Adele heard Li Mengxi's question and smiled bitterly, "I also like Mr. Alain, but Mr. Alain finally chose his sister, and I was very angry about it at that time." In this way, even if Mr. Alain seeks revenge on us, we deserve to die. And we can get our sister back if we die. β
"What nonsense are you talking about! Even if it's Sayru, I have no reason to trade my life for her resurrection!"
"Yes, I'd love to trade myself for my sister!"
"Then go find your favorite Alain now, and let that guy kill you, if you can find him!"
The conversation was interrupted in the roar between the two, and only the atmosphere of gunpowder was still circulating.
"That's all for today. Later, Li Mengxi made a declaration of termination like a referee, "It's almost time for dinner." For your protection, Mr. Worm, you'd better stay at this hotel for the time being. β
"What are you kidding, who is going to ...... with this woman"
"Calm down, you don't want to end up like the three people who died. β
Under Li Mengxi's sharp eyes, Celington closed his open mouth.
