Chapter 184: Getting Closer and Further Away
Changhe City's largest commercial center is only twelve stories high, but it covers a vast area, nestled against a vast development zone. The surrounding streets are clean and tidy, and in the sunlight, they resemble a sandy beach covered in shell powder.
The spacious commercial center is filled with shops of all sizes. The foyers of the large shops are bright, and good-looking sales clerks act as half-ceremonial staff, walking back and forth at the doors with exquisite makeup on.
Small shops are placed between these large shops, or in relatively narrow alleys, with a sign hanging outside to attract customers.
In a clothing store tucked away in the corner of the first floor, Xinaya looked at the racks of clothes on either side with a look of disdain. "Why did you come to such a tasteless place? So tacky! You want to wear these clothes?"
There was a look of shabbiness in her left eye and disdain in her right eye. She also pulled out a pair of gaudy floral pants and threw them on the ground.
The shop owner stood behind the counter, silent, an awkward smile plastered on her face. She had always been good-tempered, believing that harmony brought wealth. But after this mentally challenged customer paid her a flat fee of 50,000 yuan for the package, her temper only improved.
This "torture" did not last long. The small door of the dressing room clicked crisply, and the blond guest rushed over like a dog, posing lazily before opening the door.
With a click, the door opened. The girl lifted her black hair with one hand, while the other hand was still typing on her phone, her eyes fixed on the screen.
She held her changed tracksuit in her arms, covering her simple white T-shirt. Her legs weren't exactly straight and slender, but they had a healthy, beautiful curve, reminiscent of a fawn as she walked.
Xinnaya lowered her eyes and immediately revealed a satisfied smile: the light orange skirt swayed gently beside her thighs, like a dandelion held in the palm of her hand, plump and furry.
She bit her tongue and said sincerely, "The skirt suits you very well, but it's too long." She had originally expected it to be just long enough to cover her pants, but this one was more like a school uniform skirt. If it was any longer, it would reach her knees.
"Long? School uniform skirts are all this long." Chen Xiao'er put down her phone: "Alright, alright, stop making so many requests." She pursed her lips angrily, and the meaning of "what else do you want" was about to come out.
Xinnaya smiled casually and pretended not to care as she reached for her phone. "Hey, aren't you still texting with that moldy piece of tofu? Did she choose the dress?"
Her hand grabbed nothing. Chen Xiao'er glared at her and put the phone back in her bag. "So what? How are you doing?"
"Don't worry, they'll just have to pay." At worst, they can just pay more. Sinaya dropped her hands perfunctorily, her eyes darting to the hem of her skirt.
Although short skirts are nice, I always feel like something is missing.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the white stockings under the skirt. She quickly ran to the side and rummaged around, scattering the boss's clothes everywhere like a cat rummaging through a trash can. Finally, she pulled out a pair of socks from the corner.
Xinnaya tore open the package and shook it hard.
The garter belt unfolded immediately, its rose-patterned lace fluttering in the wind. The stockings were white and transparent, and the garter belt was inlaid with a few pearls, adding a touch of golden pink.
"Come on, wear this one!" Xinnaya confidently gestured at Chen Xiao'er's legs with the suspenders.
"Cough cough cough." The shop owner next door coughed furiously from behind the counter. "Who did you just call unfashionable? You like miniskirts with garter stockings? Why don't you just trick your girlfriend into wearing a less-fabricated top and go out to the nightclub together!"
"What are you wearing? Get out!" Chen Xiao'er was so angry that she raised her leg and kicked her. These socks were not for everyday wear. If she wore them, she would only wear them to show off to her senior!
"Tsk." Xinnaya touched her legs regretfully: "Aren't you hot wearing such thick clothes?" Non-breathable white stockings and the like... are okay.
Her fingers stopped halfway and she looked at Chen Xiao'er's socks and fell into deep thought.
Seeing Xinnaya's expression full of distracting thoughts, Chen Xiao'er felt a chill and rushed back to the locker room quickly: You like stockings, right? I won't wear them anymore!
Xinnaya didn't understand what she meant, and the image of Chen Xiao'er wearing a short skirt and sneakers was still in her mind.
Although Chen Xiao'er liked everything she wore, the short skirt and stockings really went best with the sandals. She slapped her knees and rushed out of the store.
…
Chen Xiao'er walked out of the door with bare legs, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Xinnaya was not in the store: I really can't stand shopping with this kind of person.
She walked up to the boss and took out the credit card her mother had given her. "Please use the card. I'm buying this T-shirt, skirt, and untied stockings. You don't need to pack the stockings. Just throw them away."
In the past I would pack it up and take it home to prevent waste, but now that the timer resets, I’m too lazy to take it away.
The boss waved her hands repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay, that person has already paid." She paused, but still didn't try to persuade the girl to open her eyes. After all, if he could pay his girlfriend 50,000 yuan for a random purchase, even if he had a little mental problem, he would still be considered a high-quality partner.
Chen Xiao'er nodded and did not insist. She put the sportswear into the packaging bag and walked out with the bag.
As soon as she walked out the door, she ran into the blonde girl running towards her.
Sinaya, holding a pair of shell-colored sandals in her hands, hurriedly stopped her at the door, pressed the glass door with one hand, and made a bang: "Put them on quickly."
She was more than a head taller than the girl, and if she tried to walk with her arms at her sides, she would definitely bump into him.
Just change it. It’s really not comfortable to wear sneakers barefoot.
Chen Xiao'er glanced at the sandals in her hand and found the simple butterfly decoration on them quite nice.
She reached out and took it: "Move away, I need to change my shoes."
Xinnaya turned aside and watched Chen Xiao'er squat on the steps to take off her shoes. Perhaps she hadn't walked around long enough to smell the wonderful smell.
The girl's feet were very smooth, and each toe was small and cute. The only flaw was probably that the arch of her foot was flatter than that of an average person - but that flaw was also part of perfection in Xinaya's eyes. At first glance, she couldn't help but imagine the feeling of those small feet stepping on her body.
Click.
Chen Xiao'er fastened her shoes, stepped on the ground twice, and nodded with satisfaction.
The shoes are the right size and the leather straps at the back are soft and won't rub your feet.
The toe cap is narrow for aesthetic reasons. Fortunately, they are sandals; if they were fully enclosed leather shoes, they would definitely be too tight.
Watching her change her shoes, Xinnaya smiled and said, "I'll go check out."
"Hmm?" "Didn't you pay the bill?" It didn't matter. Probably a tip. Chen Xiao'er didn't bother asking. She took a picture of herself and sent it to Ling.
【Xiao Ai: 【Picture】】
【Xiao Ai: Does it look good?】
【Zero: It looks very nice.】
[Xiao Ai: Hey, what kind of clothes do you want to wear, senior sister? Let’s go shopping together next time~]
[Zero: [Picture] Do you like this? ]
【Xiao Ai: I like it!!】
Xinnaya walked into the clothing store, picked up a few clothes that Chen Xiao'er had tried on before and threw them on the counter: "Pack these up and send them to Xiangshu No. 66, and..."
She saw the white stockings rolled up on the side and her eyes flashed: "Put this in a small bag, yes, a transparent plastic bag that can be folded."
…
The sun was high in the sky, but the weather in September was still very hot.
A black-haired girl walked down the street, nibbling on a milk cone. The tall blonde next to her occasionally extended her hands unruly, sliding them down her waist.
But as soon as it slipped, the girl would press it down hard, or simply throw it away, and it would not stick to me at all.
"Behave yourself!" Chen Xiao'er raised her foot and stepped hard. The hard sole of her sandal pressed against Xinnaya's instep. The other party remained silent and just looked at her with a smile.
Humph, Chen Xiao'er retracted her foot, and her expression relaxed a little when she thought of the important matter. She asked calmly, "How are those people I paid for?"
"Them? Oh, the progress is good. Two groups have already asked me to inspect them."
Talking about this, Xinnaya's expression became a little more serious: "Don't worry, I won't end the deal until it's done well."
They walked in silence for a while, and then Sinaya asked again, "How much will you pay me for doing such a good job?"
"Not now?"
Looking at Chen Xiao'er's cold face, Xinnaya felt her mouth water. "Not enough." She didn't get angry when the hand reaching for her face was slapped away. She leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered, "You chopped off my hand last time. Is it my turn this time?"
It really is this matter.
Chen Xiao'er's shoulders trembled slightly. She was actually very afraid of pain, but if a hand could get Xinnaya's help at a critical moment, even if it meant not disturbing her, it would be worth it.
The trembling of her shoulders stopped, and she raised her face: "Okay, after the explosion, you can chop off my right hand."
Sinaya's pupils constricted, absorbing the ultimate pleasure from this casual promise. Cigarettes, alcohol... even stronger substances could never surpass the feeling she had just felt.
"good."
It's not enough, it's not enough. It's not that the compensation you give me is not enough, but I want more.
Xinaya's cynical smile completely faded.
She took Chen Xiao'er's hand and stared seriously into her eyes, which were as dark as a mirror in the sunlight. "I will eat you... starting from your right hand."
Be afraid of me now, I want to taste your fear.
She looked down at the young girl's innocent face, hoping to see some kind of uncontrollable fear. But a few seconds later, she saw Chen Xiao'er frowning, revealing a look of extreme disdain, as if looking at garbage.
"Disgusting." The girl shook her hand away in disgust.
"Heh." Xinnaya stroked the skin of her wrist, and a long shudder spread through her limbs.
…
Chen Xiao'er's plan was progressing steadily, so the monitoring center focused its surveillance on Mi Luo, watching her lead the team to explore the Strange Stone Garden.
The originally agreed upon strategy was to split the troops, but after entering the Strange Stone Park, they immediately realized something was wrong near the Spirit Snake Mountain. They first took a detour to explore the mountains and successfully drove out dozens of suspicious people in the valley.
The specialist in charge of data analysis immediately compared the faces in the database and found that they were all relatively active members of the Devouring Snake Cult.
It seems that some members of the Devouring Snake Cult are truly special, having sided with the Devouring Snake from the very beginning. After all, the Devouring Snake is strictly speaking one and the same, and each of its parts is unique.
【Special personnel have been discovered】
The screen displayed a red reminder, with a small portrait in the corner showing a close-up. [Codename: Amber. This person was crushed under a truck in the first playthrough and has been missing since.]
Now it is the fifth week, but she appears on the Spirit Snake Mountain and becomes an "enemy cultist".
Everyone immediately noticed two problems: First, people who died at the hands of the Devouring Snake would change their "roles", which would in turn change a large number of events.
Second, members of the Devouring Snake Cult were more likely to die in accidents, and they must have transported a large number of people in before the ritual was triggered.
A chill instantly spread: If Chen Xiao'er doesn't hurry up, the whole city will be against her!
