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, trying to determine where the thing might be.
Logically speaking, if things are kept well, it is impossible for them to disappear.
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 you can’t find it?”
Now that things have come to this, Su Mi thinks 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 that. So, does it mean that even if the bell is lost, it will not have any impact?
[Host, if you can't find it back, you may not be able to know whether the strategy was successful or not in the future. ]
"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 can say that, but Lingdang's reactions are more accurate and intuitive, and sometimes I can't even compare to him.]
"Don't you have any other bells or other props in there?"
[Host, the prop can only be bound once, which means that there is only one prop for testing Xiao Xuanjin.]
Hearing this, the last ray of hope in Su Mi's heart was extinguished.
She didn't know why, but 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. 】
As Su Mi was waiting, he heard footsteps coming from behind.
She turned around and saw Xiao Xuanjin coming over. He had already changed his clothes.
There were several people following behind him.
She rushed over and asked, "How is it? Did you find it?"
Xiao Xuanjin held her shoulders and comforted her. "I checked the surveillance, but there was a glitch in the screen. Now we are checking the people who just passed by here one by one."
Su Mi quickly asked, "Are there any suspicious people now?"
“Not yet.”
Su Mi did not ask any more questions, but turned around to look at the area and began to think calmly. Her thing was not worth much, and it would be unnecessary for anyone to be greedy for money.
It's not some kind of jewelry. It's not worth anything even if you exchange it for something.
There is no chance of being blown away by the wind here either...
The strange thing is...
She put together what happened today...
Private hot springs...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 when you were asleep, almost every waiter here passed by. I can't be sure who did it.]
[I found out that the bell is in a very dark place. It has not been damaged yet. Host, please look for it.]
Everyone passed by...Although this is a private area, there were at least twenty waiters.
It's a dark place, so it's most likely inside a box or crate.
After all, it was 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 look for it myself."
"Okay, I'll accompany you."
Su Mi glanced at him and said nothing.
Go straight to the row of duplex attics not far away.
Xiao Xuanjin let her search every room.
Su Mi searched room after room, and finally couldn't even afford to eat.
Xiao Xuanjin still pulled her to the dining table and forced her to eat first.
During the meal, Su Mi simply ate two bites and couldn't eat any more.
Her mind was in a mess. She always felt that what happened today was all due to her own carelessness. If her mission failed because of her small mistake and her parents could not return home, she would never be able to forgive herself.
After much effort, success is in sight.
Seeing that she hadn't eaten much, Xiao Xuanjin put down his chopsticks and said, "Su Su, be obedient and eat some more."
"I can't eat anymore. You eat and I'll go find some more."
As he spoke, Su Mi had already moved his chair back and stood up.
Turned 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 put in so much effort to achieve the unique status he has today in Jiangcheng.
She must hold on.
After hearing this, Xiao Xuanjin suddenly let her go.
Su Mi left without even looking back. |
Xiao Xuanjin stood where he was, a terrifying coldness in his eyes, anger raging in his body, trying to break free from the restraints 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, that thing that was the same as the one in Gu Mucheng's hand was so important?
It’s more important than her life.
Which one is more important, or is it Gu Muqing who is more important?
Whenever he thought of this possibility, Xiao Xuanjin 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.
…
Here Su Mi found the top of Sunset Hill, but still found nothing.
She sat down tiredly on the carpet in the room, with her back against the wall. For the first time, she felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
[Host, are you okay? ]
Su Mi looked worried, but was still trying to sort out his thoughts.
"Xiao Xing, I just thought about it carefully. If it really doesn't work, we can only 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 as much empathy as a human? I don't believe it. I'm not as good as a bell."
There was no other solution at the moment, she could 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?"
【In the deep pool behind the mountain. 】
"What? I'll go right away."
Now that the location was locked, Su Mi did not 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 murderer 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 working rapidly, and the conclusion she had not yet reached finally surfaced.
