Xiao Jin did not rush to chase after them.
Firstly, she didn't have enough time, and if she chased after them now, it would be troublesome if she ran into that woman, Sakurai Chinatsu.
Secondly...
Xiao Jin watched Xiao Chengzhi and the other person leave, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Run? Isn't it a little too late to run now?
Xiao Jin's words proved prophetic.
The situation completely reversed when the next round of batteries was deployed.
After the two blue team players who escaped death grabbed the battery, their first action was not to hunt down Xiao Jin, but to surround and kill Xiao Chengzhi and Li Qi!
"You old bastard! You dare to cheat us?!" A player from Country R roared as he kicked Xiao Chengzhi away.
Unlucky Li Qi failed to grab the battery, and the broken toy car was stomped on and crushed, making a piercing metallic squeal: "Xiao Chengzhi... save me!"
Xiao Chengzhi rolled around in a disheveled manner to dodge, his suit covered in dust: "Misunderstanding! I was also tricked by 'Shadow'!"
Don't rush, let me try one more time, just one more time..."
The two blue team players ignored them completely. This time, they even brought in reinforcements, determined to take down this yellow-skinned monkey who dared to tease them.
"Get out of here, go to hell!"
The katana slashed down heavily, severing Xiao Chengzhi's arm. He screamed and crawled towards a corner, only to be picked up by another player from the blue team and slammed against the wall.
"Snap!"
Xiao Chengzhi's spine bones shattered inch by inch, and his head drooped unconsciously in front of his chest, unable to lift it at all.
In the distance, Chu Yuan, Song Chao, and Tong Xiaolu were eating melon seeds and watching the show.
"Tsk tsk, you reap what you sow." Chu Yuan shook his head.
Tong Xiaolu snapped a photo: "I can show this to Brother Xiao Jin, she'll definitely like it."
On the other side, Song Chao wore a bitter expression. What on earth was going on? Why was he ignoring the huge amount of points he had to earn and instead watching this show with the two of them!
[Ding—Blue Team's points +1]
Upon hearing this warning, Tong Xiaolu immediately stood up: "Alright, just don't let him really die. Brother Xiao Jin told me to keep him alive."
"Tsk~ Troublesome." Chu Yuan curled his lip: "She's so troublesome. If you ask me, I'd just ignore her."
Song Chao: "No, we can't let anyone die at the hands of the blue team players, otherwise we'd be giving away points for nothing."
Xiao Jin had already guessed that Xiao Chengzhi would suffer a backlash, so he told Tong Xiaolu to be careful and save his life if they encountered anyone.
However, this only guarantees that he won't die; whether he'll lose an arm or a leg is not within Xiao Jin's consideration.
Xiao Chengzhi's eyes were glazed over as he stared at the scattered toy cars on the ground not far away, his heart filled with regret.
He shouldn't have cooperated with these people! I told him long ago that the risk was too great.
Now that Li Qi is dead, he is going to die too. Xiao Chengzhi slowly closed his eyes.
Just as Xiao Chengzhi was preparing to face the impending pain, he suddenly heard the sounds of fighting, interspersed with angry curses and screams.
As soon as Xiao Chengzhi opened his eyes, he became excited upon seeing the situation in front of him.
"Help...help..."
Tong Xiaolu glanced at Xiao Chengzhi with disgust: "Go away, can't you see I'm busy!"
Xiao Chengzhi was stunned. No, this wasn't what he had imagined! Shouldn't she be extremely worried about him?
Ignoring Xiao Chengzhi's doubts, Chu Yuan and his two companions rushed out and gave the blue team players a sound beating.
You can't kill them. These days, players are extremely slippery. If they see they can't beat you, they'll slip away as fast as they can.
"Pah, a bunch of cowards." Chu Yuan turned around, his emotionless eyes sweeping over Xiao Chengzhi: "She's a good person. Remember to tell that guy she owes me one."
"Okay, okay." Tong Xiaolu waved her hand.
………………
After receiving Tong Xiaolu's notification, Xiao Jin headed towards the location she had given him.
Behind the villa is an abandoned warehouse, which is currently shrouded in a formation, allowing only specific individuals to enter.
If anyone approaches, the system will immediately notify the person who set up the formation.
The formation was set up by the Song Dynasty, and Xiao Jin thanked him.
Song Chao: "No need. My human form is only for a limited time. Just calculate the time carefully."
Afterwards, Song Chao and Tong Xiaolu retreated to a distance, leaving Xiao Jin alone.
Inside the warehouse, thick dust swayed slowly in the dim light.
At this moment, Xiao Chengzhi lay sprawled on the cold, damp ground like a lump of mud, surrounded by piles of old and rotten debris that exuded a musty smell.
"Is anyone there? Someone, come here!"
His cries echoed in the confined space, carrying a hint of despair and resentment, but only received a deathly silence in response.
Sweat and mud mingled on his face. Xiao Chengzhi's eyes were half-open and half-closed. Each breath was accompanied by the violent rise and fall of his chest, as if even the air was mocking his helplessness.
But just then, a screeching sound of metal scraping against the ground shattered the suffocating silence, and the warehouse door was slowly pushed open.
A beam of light pierced the darkness like a sharp sword, illuminating Xiao Chengzhi's terrified face.
He suddenly looked up, his bloodshot eyes wide, and the sight before him made him freeze instantly.
The person standing at the door was Xiao Jin.
That face, under the interplay of light and shadow, appeared exceptionally cold and stern, its eyes deep and complex, as unfathomable as an abyss.
After a long pause, Xiao Chengzhi let out a dry, hoarse roar: "How come it's you?"
Xiao Jin did not answer immediately, but slowly walked into the warehouse, as if each step was treading on Xiao Chengzhi's precarious heartstrings.
