Chapter056
The mission was successfully completed. That evening, Shijiu, Jiugui, and Jinzi went to the factory again. No one was inside, and the main door was tightly shut. Shijiu led them through a small door, and Wayne followed them into the factory.
"My dear, you are here." The faceless woman in red had been waiting for her here for a long time.
Shi Jiu didn't say anything, but just pushed the gold behind him forward.
"Oh my God! My dear son!!" Although I can't see the faceless woman's expression, I can still feel her excitement.
Jinzi finally realized that the person in front of her was her mother, and the child rushed into the arms of the faceless woman: "Mom!"
Shi Jiu pointed at the drunkard lying on the ground, already asleep, and said, "This one too."
It was clear that the faceless woman didn't care much about the drunkard. She even looked a little disgusted. "I didn't expect you to actually find him."
The faceless woman turned towards Shi Jiu and said, "Although I don't like this drunkard very much, I am still very grateful to you."
The moment the faceless woman admitted it, Shijiu heard the sound of the game system.
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the clue, the leader's heart]
She successfully obtained new clues.
Shi Jiu looked at the faceless woman and said politely, "Thank you."
But the faceless woman was actually facing Wayne. Shi Jiu felt that she was observing Wayne. After a while, the faceless woman approached her and asked in a low voice, "What is your relationship with that man?"
Shi Jiu thought about it and finally revealed their relationship in the game, "He's my fiancé."
The faceless woman's body stiffened noticeably, as if she was a little surprised.
A green mist of light flashed around, and the NPCs disappeared on the spot.
"Mission accomplished?" Wayne, who was not far away, walked over.
"It's done." Shi Jiu looked up at him and said with a smile.
"Then let's go home?"
"good."
On the way back, Shijiu checked the game chat logs. Perhaps because so many trainees had been eliminated, the chat group had grown quiet, with few people talking. However, from the conversations of several people, Shijiu guessed that the missions they had received were somehow related to the leader.
"Leader?" Shi Jiu looked out the car window and murmured.
There are actually two types of sorcerers in this human society. There is also a less common type of sorcerer called a puppeteer by the humans here. There are also many types of puppets. The ultimate evolutionary form of a puppet is the leader.
But puppets are dead things, they don’t have hearts. Does the leader have one?
Shi Jiu's first reaction was to go find An Qi and ask her, but she didn't know what An Qi was doing and didn't reply to her message.
"What's wrong?" Wayne, who was in the car, noticed Shi Jiu's expression and asked.
"Do you know the leader?" Shi Jiu asked.
"Yeah," Wayne said, "I know."
"Do you think they have hearts?"
Wayne was silent for a moment before he said, "Yes."
"Is this your mission?" Wayne asked.
"Um."
"The chief won't be here. They're outside the city."
They had already arrived at their home, and someone opened the car door for them. Wayne got out first and held out his hand to Shijiu.
Shi Jiu smiled and looked up at him, then placed her hand on his. She deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Thank you, dear~"
Wayne also lowered his eyes slightly to hide the smile in his eyes.
After returning to her room, Shijiu changed her clothes and took a quick shower. She learned some news from Anqi: now almost all the trainees who completed the mission received the final clue that they had to go outside the city, and the mission countdown had begun. Those who did not complete the mission within the specified time would be eliminated.
However, most of the trainees have never been outside the city, and what is outside the city is very unfamiliar to them.
"It is said that there are puppets outside the city. If a human dies outside, they will be made into a puppet by the puppeteer."
"It seems that the methods of those puppeteers are quite terrifying."
This was the message Anqi sent her.
It was already very late, but Shijiu still couldn't sleep.
She tossed and turned in bed several times before finally pulling out a small magic envelope Wayne had given her. Inside the envelope was a piece of golden paper. Shijiu lay on the bed, picked up the white feather pen on the bedside table, and began to write on the paper.
When she finished writing, some faint yellow light appeared around the envelope, and those light spots flew out of her room with the envelope.
The light in Wayne's room was on, and he was still sitting at his desk, working on something. A familiar movement appeared around him, and Wayne stopped and saw the envelope that had fallen on the desk.
He opened the envelope and saw her handwriting inside: "Are you asleep?"
Wayne looked at it for a while and couldn't help but smile. He raised his hand slightly, and the words on the paper disappeared. Wayne wrote on the paper: "Not yet."
The envelope with her reply soon flew back, saying, "Can I come to your room?"
Wayne's hand holding the letter paused slightly.
Shi Jiu held his letter and read it for a long time. There were two words written on the letter: "OK."
She couldn't help but smile, her eyes curved like a little fox who had succeeded. She didn't even change her clothes, but threw off the quilt in her pajamas and got out of bed, running to the door of his room not far away.
Shijiu didn't knock on the door again, but leaned over to listen to what was going on inside. But the next second, the door suddenly opened. Shijiu looked up and saw Wayne, also wearing a blue patterned silk pajamas and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking down at her.
Being discovered, Shi Jiu looked up and smiled at him with an innocent look: "Why did you open the door suddenly? Did you hear me coming?"
Before Wayne could say anything, Shijiu leaned closer to him and continued to press his case: "Or were you waiting for me at the door?"
She was very close to him, her body almost touching his. He could faintly smell her fragrance. Wayne's eyes curved slightly, and he said, "Both."
Shi Jiu bent down and slipped past him into his room with ease. Noticing the light on his desk, Shi Jiu said, "Are you reading?"
Wayne: “Yeah, I’m dealing with things.”
Shijiu took a look out of curiosity. The language here might be a little different from that outside the game. Shijiu couldn't even understand what was written on it.
Wayne just followed her and looked at her lovingly.
He liked this feeling, and her interest in his things also gave him a sense of satisfaction.
Wayne was right behind Shijiu, but she didn't expect Shijiu to suddenly turn around. Shijiu leaned against his desk, with his hands on the desk, looking up at her.
Under the light, her neck was long and beautiful.
Wayne's eyes darkened.
Shi Jiu smiled brightly, tilted her head, and said, "I want to discuss something with you."
Wayne tried to look away, "What?"
Shi Jiu: "I want to sleep here tonight."
“.......”
Perhaps it was too abrupt, Shi Jiu didn't hear Wayne's answer. She lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice with a hint of disappointment, "Is it too much?"
Wayne's throat moved, and he blurted out: "Not too much."
After saying this, Wayne lowered his eyes to look at her again. She had a gentle personality and rarely showed such a quirky expression. Perhaps she was joking with him, but Wayne still asked softly, "But, are you sure?"
Shi Jiu didn't say anything because she went straight into his bed.
"Lights out?"
"Um."
It was already late, and Shijiu had been tucked into Wayne's bed for quite a while. His bed was filled with his scent, a delicate fragrance similar to cedar. If Wayne hadn't been beside her, Shijiu would have wanted to spin around in the bed.
After turning off the lights, the room fell into darkness.
Wayne was very gentlemanly and did not overstep his bounds at all.
But with him beside her, Shijiu couldn't sleep. She tilted her head, one arm resting under her head, and looked at him sideways.
It was dark around, but Shijiu could still see the outline of his face.
"Can't sleep?" Probably feeling that she was looking at him, Wayne finally turned sideways and looked at him.
Shi Jiu smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a gentleman."
Wayne: “Hmm?”
Shijiu: "You weren't like this when you were a duck."
Wayne: “….”
Before Shijiu could speak again, she suddenly felt a hand appear on her waist. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
His scent filled the air, and Shi Jiu's body stiffened for a moment. Now she could only feel her slightly hot face and her beating heart.
A soft laugh came from above her head. Shi Jiu looked up at him, but she didn't expect him to suddenly lower his head and kiss her forehead.
“.......”
Shi Jiu was actually just a big talker, but when he really hugged her, she felt a little overwhelmed.
But he couldn't lose in momentum, so Shi Jiu simply turned over and pressed his whole body on him.
Her shoulders were much broader than her, as was her chest, and there was more than enough room for Shijiu to lie on top of them.
Worried that she might fall, he kept his hands around her waist.
Shijiu held his face with both hands and rubbed it all over. She felt happy when she saw his handsome face being distorted by her.
Wayne was good-tempered and let her do whatever she wanted in his face.
Shijiu was tired from playing, so she lay on Wayne's body to rest.
"I have to complete a mission tomorrow. When I finish this copy, you will go back with me, right?" Shi Jiu looked up at him, but she didn't expect her lips to brush against his Adam's apple.
Wayne's Adam's apple rolled again, "Yes."
"It's a deal, you can't lie to me!"
"good."
"Everyone misses you so much. You've become so skinny now, with not much flesh on your body." Shi Jiu's hand happened to touch his abdominal muscles, and she subconsciously pointed at them. They were exactly eight pack. Thinking of this, Shi Jiu added, "Your abdominal muscles are gone. You have to work on them when you go back, okay? Even if you can't work out, I won't despise you."
In the darkness, I heard him chuckle softly, "Okay, I'll get it back after practicing."
"There's one more thing." Shi Jiu rolled over from his body and faced him again. "I want to know, weren't you allowed to go out before?"
There is a difference between not being able to go out and not wanting to go out.
“…”
Before Wayne could say anything, Shijiu noticed something strange at the base of her thigh. She subconsciously stood up slightly, wanting to reach out and grab it.
But before her hand touched the thing, Wayne grabbed her hand first. His other hand pressed her head down, letting her head rest on his hot chest.
His voice was hoarse and a little helpless, "Don't rub it."
“.......”
Shi Jiu didn't dare to move for a moment.
To complete the mission, he had to find a way out. Over the past two days, Shijiu had briefly learned about the situation outside the city. The area outside the city was the puppets' territory, and quite a bit had happened there in the past few days. Several high-level puppets had appeared, and they were even attacking the human walls. Fortunately, there were sorcerers guarding the walls, otherwise the puppets might have breached them.
The human city defenders began to look for some new and capable magicians. Shi Jiu saw this opportunity and decided to give it a try.
The registration location is in a white church not far away. There are many people in military uniforms guarding the church everywhere, making it very difficult to get in.
Shijiu came with Anqi. Anqi was a magician and could apply for the army, but Shijiu was not. She did not plan to apply for the army and planned to join the healer unit.
There are very few people needed for the Healer Corps, and the competition is fierce.
They received a registration form at the church entrance and began to fill in their information. After filling it out, the two were led to the queue.
Seeing so many people queuing here, An Qi was confused: "Why are there so many people?"
"Tsk, don't you know this? If you want the highest level of honor as a magician, you must join the army." The speaker was a boy queuing on the other side of the team. The boy looked young, wearing an exquisite white suit, and exuding arrogance.
"Are you sick? Why are you following me?" An Qi obviously knew this person. After seeing him, An Qi gradually became a little irritable.
"You are the one who is sick, you little piece of trash." The boy was not willing to be outdone.
An Qi rolled up her sleeves and said, "Shijiu, don't stop me. I'll beat this brat to death!"
Shi Jiu lowered her eyes to look at her hand, and after understanding what An Qi meant, she put her hand on An Qi's arm, pretending to stop her.
“.......”
[Bullet comment]: Hahahahahaha, Shijiu’s little movements are so cute!
【Bullet screen】: Hahahahahaha don’t stop me!!!
[Bullet screen]: Ahhhhh, that male trainee is also very good! !
An Qi and the boy were just arguing with each other, not directly engaging in physical combat. The boy's group advanced a considerable distance, while An Qi and Shi Jiu were still waiting. Before leaving, the boy glanced at An Qi with a haughty air.
"Your friend?" Shi Jiu asked after the boy left.
"He's not a friend, he's just a spoiled brat!" An Qi paused, then turned her head to look at Shi Jiu and asked curiously, "Don't you know him?"
"I don't know him."
"That kid is also a trainee. He's young but very capable. He's probably ranked fourth or fifth right now." An Qi said pertinently.
"Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel that he looks familiar." Shi Jiu said with a smile.
Just as Shi Jiu finished speaking, several soldiers in dark green uniforms passed by not far from them. The man in the lead was very strange because he looked too frail and pale. He didn't look like a soldier, but more like a scholar.
His short chestnut hair was neatly combed and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses with two gold rims resting on his shoulders.
"It's actually General Naya." An Qi whispered, "I often see him in the newspapers. Why is he here today?"
"Commander?" Shi Jiu asked doubtfully.
"Yes," An Qi explained quietly, "Although Commander Naya looks weak and frail, he is actually a very powerful sorcerer. He is best at control. This time the puppets attacked Mist City thanks to Commander Naya's mission there. He discovered the puppets in advance."
As Anqi spoke, her voice became softer and softer, and finally she shut her mouth.
Shi Jiu followed An Qi's gaze and saw that Commander Naija was looking towards them. However, Shi Jiu's gaze shifted slightly and noticed another figure not far away. The moment he saw her, Shi Jiu smiled gently at him.
After Naya left, Anqi finally looked up. "I was so scared! Did I speak too loudly? Why is Commander Naya looking in our direction?"
"Do you know him?" An Qi said, then turned her head to look at Shi Jiu, "Actually, I felt like he was looking at you more just now."
Shi Jiu shook his head: "I don't know him."
The surroundings suddenly became a little noisy. An Qi subconsciously looked up and saw a familiar person.
An Qi poked Shi Jiu's arm and said, "Jiu, your fiancé is here."
