Xu Xin looked at her and suddenly smiled.

"Then have you ever considered that I'm the most likely traitor? I've been at the top of the leaderboard since the very first event. How could I have held that position if it weren't for their help?"

"...You're not. You can't be. If you were, that monster wouldn't let me kill you." Shi Wanyun still stood in front of him, looking at him. "I was sent to kill you. You can't stand on their side."

Is that why she only trusts herself?

"Is it possible that this was just an internal conflict between us? Otherwise, how could that monster have... a photo of me with a bloody mark tattooed on my face?"

Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shi Wanyun.

Shi Wanyun's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"You..." She opened her lips slightly, not knowing what to say.

"Also, aren't you curious about why I have World Tree seeds that only monsters have?"

Xu Xin stood up.

"Only the monsters you mentioned can become the masters of the World Tree, right?"

Shi Wanyun took a step back.

yes……

Why?

Xu Xin walked up to her and whispered in her ear, "Who do you think I am now?"

"I..." Shi Wanyun took another step back and forced a laugh. "You are...joking, right?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Xu Xin looked at her closely.

Shi Wanyun's pupils trembled slightly.

"you……"

"I was joking."

Xu Xin knew when to stop, smiled, shook his head, and sat back on the sofa: "Everything I said has its reasons. Everyone in the Explorers knows it. I am a good person through and through, not a wolf."

"...Is it interesting?"

Shi Wanyun was stunned for a few seconds, then turned her head away, her tone slightly annoyed.

She almost thought that there was something wrong with Xu Xin.

Even now, she still had some doubts in her heart about the questions Xu Xin had just asked.

"I just wanted to see your reaction." Xu Xin glanced at her, "Are you sleepy?"

"...I was sleepy." Shi Wanyun nodded gently, "But after being scared by you, I've become much more awake."

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep. This world is quite complicated. I'll explain it to you in detail when you wake up."

Shi Wanyun was slightly stunned, then she understood what Xu Xin meant.

Does he really trust himself?

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Well, I understand."

Then she didn't stay any longer and turned and walked into the second bedroom.

Xu Xin decided to believe her.

Just now during his test, her behavior basically confirmed that she was one of his own.

Although her expression didn't change much, it could be seen from her movements and eyes that she really knew nothing about it, and she also showed shock and fear.

Well, she can be her own person now.

What a hassle.

Now that the mutant beast contract is no longer effective, it is up to him to judge whether he is trustworthy or not.

Now he chooses to believe Shi Wanyun.

Xu Xin sighed.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether there is trust or not. Interests are the most appropriate bargaining chip to maintain interpersonal relationships.

Even if the person is really the opposite party, as long as he can come up with bargaining chips, he may be able to make the other party become his own.

But unfortunately, they are not yet on par with the alien invaders and cannot offer any decent benefits.

I can only be more careful.

However, once the World Tree truly grows up, combined with the Crystal City, they should have a good bargaining chip in their hands.

Shi Wanyun reminded him.

Now, there may still be a possibility that there is a traitor like Shi Wanyun in Crystal City.

After all, there was a group of people who came to seek refuge together, so there might be one or more people with problems.

However, there is no need to worry too much for the time being, as the core information is basically only spread among explorers.

As for the members of the Explorers...

His thought was, probably not.

Of course, since Shi Wanyun brought it up, it still needs to be verified, otherwise it will always be a thorn in my heart.

It is actually not difficult to verify this.

As long as we find Yingying, everything will be fine.

Logically, the people among the explorers should all be members of the original team.

And that Yingying is also a member of the team.

If she knew them all, then there shouldn't be any problem.

As for how to find Yingying...

Xu Xin directly opened his watch and contacted Lou Feier.

"...Hello...?" Lou Fei'er's voice was very lazy and confused, obviously she had been woken up from her sleep, "Who is it..."

"It's me, Xu Xin. Stay with me until dawn."

“Oh…ah?!”

Lou Feier was confused for a second, then she woke up instantly, her voice stumbling a little: "Accompany...accompany you? Huh? Now...now? Really...Well, then, should I go to your tree house to find you now? Or do you come over?"

Lou Feier's voice was slightly nervous.

"You must have misunderstood something..." Xu Xin shook his head helplessly, "I want to go and take a look at the cave you discovered earlier."

"Cave? Oh... a cave." Lou Feier was suddenly disappointed. "I thought... wouldn't it be better to talk about this kind of thing after daybreak? If you don't sleep, you might die suddenly."

"Time is of the essence now, so use it wisely."
