Chapter 57 More Important Than My Life
Su Mi changed his clothes and waited for the system's message.
At the same time, Xiao Xuanjin also went to look for him, but he hasn't come back yet.
Su Mi stood beside the hot spring, judging where the thing might be.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for things to disappear if they are kept well.
There aren't many people here, so if we really want to investigate, it shouldn't be that difficult.
"Xiao Xing, what's wrong?"
[Host, still checking.]
"What happens if we can't find it?"
Now that things have come to this, Su Mi feels it is better to prepare for the worst.
She asked the system for this test object. She remembered that the system was able to sense it before, so it meant that even if the bell was lost, there would be no impact.
[Host, if you can't find it, you may not be able to know whether the strategy was successful or not.]
"But, can't you also sense his situation?"
[Host, ever since I used that bell, my perception of Xiao Xuanjin has become much weaker.]
"You mean I shouldn't have asked you for the bell?"
[You could say that, but Lingling's response is more accurate and intuitive, and sometimes I can't even compare to her.]
"Don't you have any other bells or other props in there?"
[Host, the prop can only be bound once. In other words, there is only one prop for testing Xiao Xuanjin.]
Hearing this, the last ray of hope in Su Mi's heart was extinguished.
For some reason, she always had a strong feeling that it would be difficult to get it back.
[Host, I feel that the bell is not damaged.]
"Where is it then?"
I am positioning myself.
Su Mi was waiting when he heard footsteps behind him.
She turned around and saw Xiao Xuanjin coming over. He had already changed his clothes.
There were a few people following behind him.
She rushed over and asked, "How is it? Did you find it?"
Xiao Xuanjin squeezed her shoulders to comfort her. "I checked the surveillance, but the footage was malfunctioning. I'm checking everyone who just passed by here one by one."
Su Mi quickly asked, "Are there any suspicious people now?"
“Not yet.”
Su Mi didn't ask any more questions, but looked back at the area and began to think calmly. Her thing was not valuable, so it would be unnecessary for anyone to be greedy for money.
It's not some kind of jewelry, so it wouldn't be worth much even if I exchanged it for something.
There is no possibility of being blown away by the wind here...
The strange thing is...
She pieced together what happened today...
Private hot spring bath...change clothes...soak in hot springs...
At this moment, the voice of the system came from her head, interrupting her thoughts.
[Host, the surveillance is indeed broken. I traced back and found that while you were asleep, almost every waiter here passed by. I can't confirm who did it.]
[I found the bell's location in a very dark place. It hasn't been damaged yet. Host, please look for it.]
Everyone passed by... Although this was a private area, there were still at least twenty waiters.
It's a dark place, most likely inside a box or crate.
After all, it's still daytime outside.
Su Mi saw that Xiao Xuanjin was still directing the people below to search, and he seemed to be very concerned.
After everyone around him left, Su Mi walked over and stood beside him, "I want to find it myself."
"Okay, I'll accompany you."
Su Mi glanced at him and said nothing.
Go straight to the row of duplex lofts not far away.
Xiao Xuanjin let her search every room.
Su Mi searched for room after room, and in the end he didn't even have time to eat.
It was Xiao Xuanjin who dragged her to the dining table and forced her to eat first.
During the meal, Su Mi ate just two bites and couldn't eat anymore.
Her mind was in a mess now. She always felt that what happened today was all due to her carelessness. If the mission failed because of her small mistake and her parents could not return home, she would never forgive herself.
After much effort, success is in sight.
Seeing that she hadn't eaten much, Xiao Xuanjin put down his chopsticks and said, "Susu, be obedient and eat some more."
"I can't eat anymore. You eat it and I'll go find some more."
As he spoke, Su Mi had already moved his chair back and stood up.
Turned around and left.
Xiao Xuanjin put down his bowl and chopsticks, chased after her, pulled her arm, and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "Is that thing so important?"
Su Mi stopped and said, "If I say so, it's more important than my life."
She can be trapped here forever, but the Su family cannot disappear just because of her.
That was the family business that Daddy had worked so hard to build. He had put in so much effort to achieve his current unique position in Jiangcheng.
She must hold on.
After hearing this, Xiao Xuanjin suddenly let go of her.
Su Mi left without even looking back.
Xiao Xuanjin stood in place, with a terrifying coldness in his eyes. Anger was raging in his body, trying to break free and devour his sanity.
The only thing in my mind is what she said, which is more important than life?
Could it be that in her eyes, the thing that was the same as the one in Gu Mucheng's hand was so important?
It’s more important than her life.
In the end, is that thing important, or is it him, Gu Mucheng, who is important.
Whenever Xiao Xuanjin thought of this possibility, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He was in so much pain that he couldn't think rationally anymore.
He suddenly turned around and headed in one direction.
…
Su Mi found the top of Sunset Mountain, but still found nothing.
She sat tiredly on the carpet in the room, her back against the wall, feeling physically and mentally exhausted for the first time.
【Host, are you okay? 】
Su Mi was frowning, but still trying to figure things out.
"Little Ape, I've just thought about it carefully. If it really doesn't work, we'll have to cross the river in the dark."
[Host, what do you mean by this? ]
"If your perception has decreased, then use your heart to feel it. It's just an object. How can I have the same empathy as a human? I don't believe it. I'm not even as good as a bell."
This is the only solution at the moment, she can only try her best.
The system didn't say anything about her plan, but suddenly said anxiously, "Host, the bell has changed its position."
"Where did you change it?"
[In the deep pool of the back mountain.]
"What? I'll go right away."
Now that the location was locked, Su Mi didn't hesitate and went there immediately.
The system suddenly stammered, "Host, I saw the person holding it."
When Su Mi heard this, he wanted to ask who this damn person was.
Then the system said [Host, you will know when you go there...]
Why are you still keeping us in suspense?
Su Mi ran towards the back of the mountain. It was the first time in his life that he ran so hard.
When I saw the deep pool, I also saw the person standing beside it.
Su Mi's eyes widened, her mind racing. The conclusion she had been thinking about halfway through finally surfaced.
