Chapter 292 Traps and Clues
Chen Xiao'er shook the notebook and silently recited the confession on it.
[The criminal riding the hot air balloon is codenamed Despair, and his gender is unknown.]
No matter where the hot air balloon crashed, it and Xiaotong should be hiding in the new city an hour's drive from here.
Because Despair has two important strongholds in the new city. One is a well-known missionary propaganda outlet, and the other is a more secret treasure trove.
She looked at the map given by the cook in silence for a while, and had no idea where the two huge circles indicated.
The publicity point was okay, supposedly housed in a landmark hotel, so it was easy to find with a little asking. But the more suspected treasure trove was much harder to find.
Both locations are inside closed buildings, and it is almost impossible to bribe an insider or sneak in without alerting anyone in a short period of time.
What if we break into the hotel first and alert the enemy, but Xiaotong is not there?
She looked up at the unconscious cook and shook her head helplessly: Forget it, I can't get any more valuable information.
"Uncle, could you please call the police? We are in a hurry to get on the road." Chen Xiao'er walked up to the villagers and discussed with them.
The travelers naturally agreed: "Okay, okay, we will definitely help you take care of this!"
Most of the young people rescued from the kitchen had already woken up, but a few were still unconscious and needed to be carried out headfirst and footfirst. They looked like they had been starving for a long time and were extremely emaciated.
However, she didn't see any external injuries or disabilities on them, so she thought they would feel much better after resting for a while.
Chen Xiao'er looked away and said to Lin Lang, "Xiao Lang, why did you run out too? Do the teachers know?"
Lin Lang scratched his head awkwardly, his lips twitching slightly. "Uh, my dad and I have already discussed it. Anyway, I'll go back when I have the chance."
There is a lot of trickery in this sentence, but Chen Xiao'er herself has no right to persuade her friend. Maybe Lin Lang also has some reason to leave?
At least he didn't get into much trouble, and he can go back anytime he wants, so he shouldn't have to drop out of school.
Chen Xiao'er didn't ask any more questions. She nodded gently and said, "Goodbye then. I'll go save Xiaotong first." After that, she took Ling's hand and walked out the door.
"Wait a minute!" Lin Lang hurriedly stopped her, his eyes gradually becoming firm: "I want to go with you."
Chen Xiao'er moved her lips, her eyes were crying, but the corners of her mouth were smiling.
She seemed about to refuse. But her gaze flickered between Lin Lang and Uncle Wolf's guns, and she finally said, "Okay, let's go together."
"Yes!" Lin Lang agreed happily. She glanced at the cook who had collapsed on the table and quickly changed her tone: "How about you go first? I'll go to the new city with Dad to find you later. We still have some things to do."
Most of the people present knew what she was going to do, so they naturally wouldn't sabotage her.
Everyone was waiting for Chen* Xiao'er to leave the building so that they could kill all the dying anomalies and avenge the previous deaths.
Of course, it would be even better if we could collect some rare items or usable materials. Even if these things do not change after Chen Xiao'er leaves, many precious foods can be found in the inn.
With winter approaching, food and the quilts and pillows in the room are priceless treasures.
Chen Xiao'er walked into the hall. The tables, chairs and benches were broken all over the floor. A few waiters with bruised faces were tied up in the corner. The others had probably run away.
She hurried out the door and into the parking lot. When her hand touched the car door, she suddenly looked up. "Where's Xinaya? We forgot her in the store."
"It's okay~" Lan smiled and pulled out the car keys: "I took her keys."
"Where is she?"
"People?" Lan shrugged and made an exaggerated "no one here" gesture.
She persisted for a few seconds, and seeing that Chen Xiao'er's eyes were still wide open, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, your expression is so silly, okay~"
Lan gently rubbed Xiao'er's hair and said indifferently, "Don't worry, I locked that guy in the room."
"Is that so?" Chen Xiao'er turned away, coaxed by her steady voice, but immediately turned back: "Why did you lock her in the room?"
Lan smiled innocently, and Ling came over to her defense. "We need to conserve our energy now, so why don't we bring that troublesome guy along?"
"Yes, I agree." Lan put his hand on Ling's shoulder, expressing his firm support.
Seeing how they insisted, Chen Xiao'er wanted to just agree for a moment.
Anyway, Xinaya is so capable that she can definitely take a taxi back home. At worst, I can just return the sports car to her later, which will also help her avoid taking any risks.
But she suddenly thought of Xiaotong.
I think their attitude towards Xiaotong is the same. If I hadn't insisted, would they have said nonchalantly like they do now, "Isn't it good? It saves a lot of trouble?"
She knew that it was excessive to speculate about Lan and Ling, so she said nothing, but silently strengthened her mood.
Chen Xiao'er took the car keys from Lan and held them in her hand. The metal pendant pricked her so hard that it hurt.
"Sister, Sister Chen, wait a minute!" A girl in a hoodie ran out and rushed in front of them.
Chen Xiao'er sniffed and greeted softly, "Xiaoyu, you and your relatives should go first. If they are nice to you, don't follow Xinnaya."
She hoped that someone else would be willing to adopt Yu. Looking at Xinnaya's behavior of playing around everywhere, she didn't seem like a normal adopter.
Jade nodded, then shook her head.
She gasped and said, "Sister, I want to tell you something."
She raised her head and took a deep breath, although she didn't know whether the apostle and the existence named Lan next to her could be trusted... Since they were all Sister Chen's guardians, they should have nothing to do with the devil.
In addition, since Xinnaya was now left alone, she inexplicably gained some confidence. She looked into Chen Xiao'er's eyes and said seriously, "Sister, do you understand Xinnaya? That person is a dangerous pervert. It's best to leave her quickly!"
"Cynaya is a devil! Sister, don't trust it. It's best to kill it quickly!"
She really wanted to take revenge herself, but if it would put her sister at risk, she would rather not do it and let her sister do it.
The fake smile on Chen Xiao'er's face disappeared.
She asked in shock: "Xinaya, did she do anything to you?!"
Jade knew that people with powerful special abilities like her sister were prone to cognitive issues.
She considered carefully for a few seconds before speaking slowly, "That pervert didn't do anything to me, but she harmed many people, including my brother."
"That devil didn't kill me, but it killed many innocent people, including my brother."
Chen Xiao'er's eyes sharpened: "How old is your brother?"
"13, 14!" Yu counted on her fingers and said hopefully, "Can you help me get revenge?"
Chen Xiao'er took a deep breath, patted Yu's shoulder vigorously, and said firmly: "Leave it to me, I will hand it over to the management of Xincheng!"
Yu's eyes lit up, and she quickly tugged at Chen Xiao'er's sleeve and said, "Sister, can you please not hand it over to the management and just kill it?"
Kill...
Chen Xiao'er was stunned for a moment, then gently placed her hand on Yu's soft little head.
She leaned her forehead forward and said gently, "People make different choices when they have a choice and when they don't. We can fight back in desperation, but if we have a choice, we should let the law punish the bad guys. This way, we can better maintain the rules that protect society and protect more people."
She knew that these words probably wouldn't comfort the hurt child, but she sincerely hoped that Jade wouldn't become a twisted avenger.
She is still so young. Children should put down the burden of life and leave the complicated matters to adults.
At this moment, Chen Xiao'er deeply realized that she had grown up.
Although she has not yet become the useful adult she wanted to be in the past, she now wants to protect children like Yu as a protector and completely separate her from the darkness.
Yu looked at Chen Xiao'er's back as she left, and a long-lost feeling of emotion was evoked in her heart.
But while I was moved, an inexplicable anxiety was buzzing in my heart. ["She didn't promise you to kill the devil. She only said she would hand it over to the administrator."]
Who is the manager?
Yu’s concept of a manager is the leader of each tribe. Perhaps Chen Xiao’er will hand that devil over to a very strong human being to deal with.
That human would probably kill it...
"Perhaps he was taken in as a servant."
A malicious speculation echoed in her heart: Come to think of it, that devil only dared to show interest in Sister □□ in private, but when they met in real life, he acted enthusiastically and unbearably.
"Are they really fine with each other privately?"
Jade's heart sank as the voice continued to tell her that the strong and the weak thought differently.
"The devil may be dangerous to others, but to Chen Xiao'er, he might just be an interesting pet."
Being a slave for a lifetime is certainly miserable, sometimes even more miserable than death.
Ke Yu knew very well that for that devil, becoming her sister's slave was not a punishment at all!
"You shouldn't have told Chen Xiao'e that you should have cooperated with the humans inside and taken the opportunity to kill the devil."
That voice lingered in my heart ["You missed a good opportunity, don't miss the next one."]
Yu didn't notice anything wrong with the voice in her heart, after all, that's what she really thought.
But—I believe my sister.
She watched her sister running back to the hotel, then turned and walked towards the crowd again.
......
Chen Xiao'er walked in front with great vigor. No matter how fast she walked, Ling and Lan followed closely on both sides.
She was really going crazy.
Chen Xiao'er bit her lips tightly: I am such a fool. I actually felt pity for Xinnaya just now and thought it was too much to leave her alone on the highway.
The result...haha.
Now we have to go and take Xinnaya away. It would be unethical to leave this guy outside.
Chen Xiao'er walked to the outside of Room 146 and kicked it.
She hadn't expected to need a key card, nor the door, as it opened in response.
"Xin.naya!" Chen Xiao'er shouted with gritted teeth, and walked towards her with her boots clacking.
"Chen Xiao'er!"
The footsteps stopped in front of the bed. Xinaya on the bed looked at her pitifully, her body wrapped in chains.
