Chapter 10: Competence (2)
Xiu, who finally reacted, couldn't help but applaud, but she realized that it was actually late at night, and put her hand down.
She glanced at Aiden, and found that Aiden was leaning down to pick up his pen, and her heart suddenly balanced, and it seemed that Aiden would also be surprised.
Lily patted the dust on her hands, smiled and glanced at the two of them left and right, and said:
"That's it, it's late today, I won't be able to finish talking about it for a while, and I'll have to get up early tomorrow to get ready to go, so, sir, miss, go back to sleep first." Lily said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"Oh, okay." Xiu didn't refute anything, although she was really curious now, but it was really time to go to bed quickly.
Aiden turned his head and walked away, crisply.
Xiu stuck his tongue at Aiden's back, then gestured to Lily and left Lily's room, but forgot to close the door.
Lily was tempted to call Xiu back and tell her to close the door, which was not ladylike at all.
But she didn't bother much, another gorgeous one-handed support side flip, landing silently, she gently came to the door and closed it.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Lily accompanied the youngest children in the orphanage as usual to wash up, handed over the rest of the things to Ander and Ariel, and took the elevator up to the top floor of the orphanage alone.
Leaning down, Lily once again looked at the fog from the same position that would almost never change, only this time, Lily's heart was much less afraid, and instead she had to find John's faith and her determination to find out what the fog really was.
Although the scene of splitting herself into tens of thousands of consciousnesses in the end was very frightening to her, and even now she occasionally feels as if she has been suddenly cut out, which is very uncomfortable, but she has also gained some amazing abilities.
And what Lily described with Aiden and Xiu yesterday was only a very small part, and she also got some similar passive skills, well, the word passive skill was also learned from Ender.
Now, as long as she wants to, what she says will be more convincing, and she will be more able to mislead the other party's thinking and judgment when necessary.
She felt like she was starting to like things that weren't more than 25 centimeters long, which made Lily laugh and cry a little, was that the Debuff Ender had mentioned? (Negative Status).
She is keenly aware of the snooping of intelligent beings within 50 meters of her, and at the same time, she can vaguely perceive some "high-value things" within this 50 meters.
It's just that the word "high value" is a bit subjective, which makes Lily mutter, for example, she likes pudding, so will her passive skill judge pudding as a "high-value thing"?
These abilities and knowledge were all unconsciously instilled in her brain and body by the strange syllables she uttered with that voice in that "other world" - the fallacy was suddenly forcibly instilled in her brain and body, and it took Lily a few minutes to get used to that world.
Strangely enough, when Lily thought back to the wooden horses galloping on the great clock dial on the magnificent clock tower, she felt the urge to join them.
This really made Lily feel uncomfortable.
After staring at the fog for a while, the elevator behind Lily suddenly made a crisp "ding" sound, Lily turned her head to look, and saw Xiu and Aiden walking out of the elevator together, Xiu didn't seem to have slept well, and there were dark circles on his slightly freckled face.
Aiden was always expressionless, but his hand holding a telescope made Lily understand that he was actually nervous.
"Let's set our departure time at 9 o'clock." Lily smiled at the two of them, then turned back and continued to look out the window at the fog rolling silently.
Xiu hesitated for two seconds, but stepped forward, sat cross-legged beside Lily, and followed Lily to look out the window at the fog.
Aiden raised his hand and looked at his watch, and at 7:58, an hour before departure, he also stepped forward and sat down beside Xiu.
Lily turned her head to look at the two of them, then raised her hand and couldn't help but yawn...... In fact, she didn't sleep too well, well, who can sleep well in a normal person?
Then Lily laughed out loud as she saw that both Xiu and Aiden couldn't help but raise their hands and yawn.
Yawning is contagious!
Xiu and Aiden also laughed, which rejuvenated the gloomy atmosphere before departure.
After a few people stopped laughing, Lily turned her head and winked at Xiu.
In Xiu's confused gaze, Lily first raised her hand to show Xiu the front and back, then reached out to Xiu's shoulder and touched it, and felt a coin in Xiu's surprised gaze.
It is a standard coin published by the British Empire in 1980, with a beautiful portrait of Queen Elizabeth and the full name of Queen Elizabeth engraved on the obverse, and a relief of St. George slaying the dragon on the back, with a 1980 inscription on the bottom of the relief.
Seeing the coin flip flexibly at her fingertips after Lily withdrew her hand, Xiu couldn't help but ask:
"Lily, how did you do it, it's part of your abilities?"
"Confidentiality." Lily's smile didn't change, but the coin in her hand flipped and disappeared.
"Indeed...... Terrible. Aiden couldn't help but praise it.
"Thank you. I still have some abilities, I'll talk to Aiden slowly on the way. ”
"On the road...... Wait, Lily, aren't you going to take me with you? Xiu suddenly reacted to something, and his face was stunned and sluggish.
"The orphanage can't afford to lose all three of us at the same time." Lily glanced at Xiu and responded in a somewhat low tone.
"But...... But ......" Xiu's eyes were red, and he couldn't speak for a while.
Aiden took Xiu's hand at the right time and said in a calm tone:
"Rest assured, we ...... Certain...... OK...... Came back. ”
Looking at Aiden's hand holding Xiu, Lily probably understood something, it turned out that Aiden took the initiative to ask to go with him, and there was another reason.
"That's good......" Lily was a little envious.
Standing up and patting the dust that wasn't there, Lily said hello to the two of them, and took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor.
She also has to prepare, although the supplies Aiden is estimated to have been prepared for everyone, but Lily still has something to prepare, she wants to go to the basement to find out if there is a "weapon" with a length of less than 25 centimeters.
As soon as she arrived in the lobby on the first floor, the elevator door opened, and Lily saw several figures, including Ender, Ariel, Natasha Natasha two sisters, as well as Dunn, Sandro, Stephenson, Camille and others selected by the team this time.
Lily stepped out of the elevator with a puzzled look on her face, and was about to ask what was going on with her cheap brother, but before she could speak, she saw Ander raise his hand and wave his fist.
"Happy birthday, Sister Lily!"
