Chapter 5: Suspicion and Spies (1/2)



Jiang Shaomu seemed to be oblivious to the change in atmosphere in the air. He was still mumbling to the system, occasionally taking out a few pieces of candy to share with the two of them, looking like a pair of doting brothers.

Hei Xia Zi suppressed his chaotic thoughts and laughed suddenly without making any sound. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Qiling, confirming that the meaning in the other's eyes was the same as what he thought. Did he, Hei Xia Zi, look like a fool?

However, Hei Xia Zi narrowed his eyes under his sunglasses and was able to make out some of his identity. It seemed that the group of mad dogs had become more capable. He really wanted to praise them.

He turned his gaze back to the man who seemed innocent on the surface, and met the eyes of the monkey who was obviously human.

To be honest, Hei Xia Zi is not a conspiracy theorist who would suspect everyone around him just because he went to a grave. Jiang Shaomu brought such a conspicuous pet with such a unique appearance, and there was no sign of training on it. At first, he did not think of it as a group of mad dogs.

What a pity, a child comes out to die, Heixiazi thought.

Jiang Shaomu still ignored the gazes of others, even though the hairs on the system's body stood up due to the change in atmosphere. The system asked him:

"What are you doing? Without building trust, the temptation of trade will only cause the whole beginning of Liang Tuo to collapse."

Jiang Shaomu smiled and took out another strawberry and stuffed it into the system's mouth to stop the system from analyzing. He asked the system: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

The system stopped talking and ate its sweet strawberries quietly. As long as Su Xu knew what was going on, he was never smart enough to join the system in the Riddler Duel.

However, "Where did you get these strawberries from?" The system only remembered to ask the source of the food after eating it. There was obviously no water chestnuts in the backpack, not to mention that the strawberries were so fresh.

As soon as it asked the question, it guessed Jiang Shaomu's general idea, stretched out its hand to signal Su Ku to give it another strawberry, and saw Su Ku flip his hand out of thin air and give him another strawberry, it knew that it had guessed correctly.

The system couldn't help but asked one more question: "Are you sure you want to expose the space so soon?" Jiang Shaomu smiled but said nothing.

Zhang Qiling was able to see the entire process clearly from his angle. He nodded slightly to Hei Xia Zi, indicating that the water creature did appear in an instant.

Hei Xia Zi's pupils shrank. After he found out that he was not mistaken, the hidden anger and suspicion in his heart were suppressed a little. He became more interested in Jiang Shaomu himself. He really wanted to get to know his little fan better.

Jiang Shaomu made sure that the two old men saw his move clearly, so he didn't do anything extra. Seeing that the system was almost bored after staying in the house, he took it out to exercise and took the leftover dishes to the kitchen.

The sun is shining outside, but the haze brought by Jiang Shaomu inside the house will not disappear quickly.

Hei Xia Zi rarely sits in a place quietly like Zhang Qiling and thinks about things that no one knows. Maybe it's because he hasn't recalled the past for too long, so long that he almost forgot what his mother looked like. It's so long that he can't even suppress his hope that his mother is alive and instead think rationally about the intention of Jiang Shaomu's words.

"Eji..." Hei Xia Zi's slight voice was blown away by the wind before it could be uttered, and even Zhang Qiling did not notice it at all.

Jiang Shaomu casually dropped a bomb, not caring who it would hit afterwards, and happily wandered out with the system, poking around the camp, chatting with anyone he saw who he liked and making friends with them. After a round of wandering, he had a lot of new friends' contact information in his phone, and he returned to the room contentedly.

As expected, the two mission objects who rarely thought about life in sync with each other disappeared. While no one was disturbing him, he began to integrate the talismans he learned from this body in his memory. This can be regarded as a blessing of time travel. Although it is just a character in a false setting, it also has a foundation that matches his identity.
