Chapter 40 Azure Island (4)

As darkness fell, the two finished their dinner and headed back.

"Four suitcases, should we wait until night when no one is around to go get them?" In Shekh's mind, the dark and windy night was the perfect time to do these shady things.

Shi Jinzhe was scrolling through his phone when he heard this and replied, "Other players will also think that it's the least likely time to be discovered at night. If we go now, around 7 or 8 pm, there will be the most people picking up their luggage, which will help to confuse the situation."

Having found the information he wanted, he turned off his phone screen and awkwardly looked away. "I need to ask you for a favor."

"explain."

"...Come with me first."

Shi Jinzhe led Shehe towards the vicinity of the hotel, and then stopped in front of an underwear store.

"Go in and pick a few later."

Sher looked in the direction he indicated and saw only clothes with very little fabric, all brightly colored and some resembling skirts. They were so translucent that even if you layered them three times, she could still see the scenery behind them.

"Why is this less than the fabric you bought for me?"

Shehe showed no embarrassment whatsoever. Half a month ago, she had never seen this thing before. If Shi Jinzhe hadn't given it to her that day, she wouldn't have known that you had to wear clothes underneath your clothes.

"Go ahead, we're counting on you to bring the supplies back unnoticed tonight."

Bringing Shekh himself into such a place is far more torturous than Shi Jinzhe going in himself.

He can pretend to be alone, but he becomes extremely uncomfortable when someone is with him.

He can't do that kind of privacy measurement for someone of the opposite sex. The last ones he bought were vest-style growth bras; you can just put one on and even a fool could wear it.

I brought Sher here this time not only for other purposes, but also to let the shop assistant change her into a more suitable outfit.

The shop assistant came up to them and, seeing that the two were holding hands and not planning to separate, winked and led Sheikh directly to the display area with a very 18+ style.

"No, no, no need." Shi Jinzhe quickly stopped her. "Just get her a few pieces of clothing that are soft to the touch and comfortable to wear, and then calculate the prices from your discount section and settle the bill together."

The shop assistant maintained a forced smile and said, "Okay."

If you say this guy is stingy, he'll buy dozens of items; if you say he's not stingy, he won't even ask about the style or size, and he'll ask for a 30% discount on everything.

"What size does this lady wear?"

Shekh looked relaxed, his gaze lingering on a purple French-style lingerie piece, and replied without hesitation, "Ask him."

Shi Jinzhe lowered his eyes and counted the cracks in the floorboards: "Measure her."

Shop assistant: "..." Got it, these two are either newly together or just having a superficial relationship.

Using her professional skills, she accurately identified the sizes and selected several items for Sherhe that matched her style, then settled the bill with the discounted items.

Before leaving the store, the staff specifically emphasized that the discounted items could not be returned or exchanged unless there was a quality issue.

Shi Jinzhe carried several large bags of underwear out the door. He discussed with Shehe, "I'll tie a few suitcases together in a bit. You don't need to come into the apartment with me. Let's find a quiet place to wait for a few minutes first, just to give your legs a break, okay?"

"Ten custard apples, two servings of scallion oil chicken." Sheh thought for a moment, then felt it wasn't enough, so he added on the spot, "Also, 20 grilled scallops, one serving of double-pepper rabbit, and one serving of shrimp ball soup."

Shi Jinzhe decisively agreed: "Deal."

At 8 p.m., the lobbies of various hotels were brightly lit.

Shi Jinzhe retrieved his suitcase from the noisy crowd. Some people had the same suitcase and didn't know who had taken it by mistake, causing them great distress.

Some people were trying to reason with the hotel staff, demanding either compensation or accommodation.

Some even hoped that the hotel would give them a room in return for paying to store their belongings.

The same scene played out in different hotels. Shi Jinzhe's obviously worthless broken suitcases were all put together after he left the hotel.

He took a roundabout route to deliver Shekh and his suitcase to a small garden next to the apartment building. The trees there were tall, and the lights couldn't penetrate, making it dark, which was perfect for Tibetans.

The bushes crackled with the sound of breaking branches as he hurried back to the apartment building.

The moment I stepped inside, a piercing scream erupted from the next room: "A snake—!"

Immediately afterwards, equally terrified cries for help came from downstairs, and then from upstairs. The entire apartment building suddenly sounded like a group of screaming chickens living halfway up the building.

The chaotic sound of running passed by outside the door, and people were screaming for help as they ran downstairs.

Those who remained rational quickly dialed for help, while the apartment manager and security guards worked to evacuate people. Everyone was in complete chaos and no one cared about anyone else.

Shi Jinzhe turned off the lights and went to open the balcony window. As soon as he opened the window, he saw a huge python hanging outside, with half of its tail dangling in front of the fourth-floor window.

The snake startled him. Although his fear of Shekh had lessened, it didn't mean he wouldn't panic when he encountered a large snake head in the pitch-black night.

The giant python flicked its tongue slightly, turning its head to scare others. It would occasionally dart its body out, while other snakes outside the wall continued to drive people away, so no one noticed what was happening here.

Shekh grabbed the four large suitcases, curled his fingers, and shoved them into the wall to hold himself in place. The powerful core force of his snake tail defied the laws of gravity, sending the suitcases to the fifth-floor balcony.

Before Shi Jinzhe could even see her movements clearly, she turned and came over from another balcony.

The shouts of "Snake! A huge snake!" continued downstairs. The rescue team arrived very quickly and was knocking on doors to check if anyone was trapped.

A loud knocking sounded at the door, and just as the rescuers were about to break it down, the door suddenly opened.

Shi Jin hugged Shehe tightly, looking frightened. "Sorry, I'm afraid of snakes, I didn't have time to open the door."

The team members, wearing blue rescue uniforms with the national emblem, asked, "Do you need any help? There are a lot of venomous snakes on this island, and tourists die every year. You need to be careful."

"It's alright, we just need to rest for a bit." Shi Jinzhe opened the door wide, allowing anyone outside to see what was happening inside.

Seeing that nothing was amiss, the Blue Sky Rescue Team and the apartment manager turned and went to the next room.

"Wait," several people in civilian clothes behind the rescue team interrupted their actions.

"It would be too dangerous if a venomous snake were hiding in a corner or crevice. We must go in and check every corner thoroughly, leaving no one unchecked."

The man who spoke had shrewd eyes. He carefully examined the two of them. How could so many snakes appear at the same time? Someone must have used a skill or item.

If the snake hasn't come out for so long, who knows if the player is hiding something?

Shi Jinzhe stood in the doorway, saying, "This isn't a good idea. We think it's fine; the house is very safe."

"I'm doing this for your own good." The man said firmly, pushing him aside and walking inside.

Shi Jinzhe's back hit the door panel, and he turned to the side to prevent the man from touching Shekh.

"Those who bully others to the extreme will surely face retribution."

Shekh spoke coldly, using a newly learned word that seemed fitting in this context.

The man didn't take it seriously. He searched the closet, then the bathroom, then under the bed, but found nothing.

Unwilling to give up, he saw a worn-out suitcase. "I have to open this." Without waiting for a moment to react, he quickly unzipped it.

A suitcase full of brightly colored underwear was scattered all over the floor. His triumphant smile froze, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
