Mermaids (4)
To be precise, it is not an illusion, but Xixi's mimicry talent [Dream of Forgetfulness].
[Dream of Forgetfulness] can weave dreams and achieve absolute authenticity for a single goal. People trapped in the dream cannot distinguish the authenticity of the dream without external help.
The place where the space shuttle landed was indeed where No. 9 had dropped the imposter off before.
But Tianqiong Star is so big that Shi Jianxia really can't be sure whether the imposter will leave here and go somewhere else. Naturally, there is no guarantee that she will be able to discover the interstellar spacecraft landing on Tianqiong Star in the first time and rush over in time.
So, I made some attempts.
The space shuttle was the bait she had deliberately released, but she didn't underestimate the imposter so much as to think that after she left, she would be stupid enough to bump into it and take the obvious bait.
Therefore, No. 9 and others need to stay in the space shuttle to deal with possible situations that may arise next.
If the imposter is nearby and has plans for the space shuttle, she will definitely take action. No. 9 only needs to respond accordingly based on her actions.
Once No. 9 roughly determines the location of the impostor, she can use Xixi's [Dream of Forgetfulness] on non-friendly human units within the range.
The counterfeit will unknowingly step into the trap dug for her in her dreams. When she reveals her flaws and discloses her location, that will be her death.
This was the first time that Shi Jianxia used the [Dream of Forgetfulness], and she didn't expect the effect to be so good. Naturally, she had to praise the fat boy.
朏朏 loves being praised by others, especially by Shi Jianxia. She immediately changes from lying in her arms to leaning on her back, with her front legs bent in a very formal manner, making a heart shape with her hands.
Shi Jianxia was so adorable that she picked it up and kissed it twice on the forehead.
The counterfeit, who was half-hanging in the air by Number Nine's neck, saw this scene and sneered with difficulty, with resentment gradually emerging in his eyes despite his fear.
Number Nine gently pressed his index finger against her skull, and the extremely cold ice instantly corroded the impostor's breath. Her resentment, which had not yet solidified, quickly turned into fear.
She fears death.
Shi Jianxia was afraid that he had really killed her, so she quickly reminded him, "I still have something to ask her."
Number Nine glanced at her unhappily, but finally let go and threw her to the ground.
The impostor, who was freed, lay prostrate on the sand, covering his neck where fingerprints were left and coughing.
She looked extremely disheveled, with a thin layer of sand stuck to her clothes, some of which were torn, and her lips were dry and cracked. She looked like she had experienced an intense battle and had not consumed water for quite some time.
The counterfeit probably didn't expect that he had sent Shi Jianxia to Xiaohan Star, and before he had time to enjoy himself for two days, he was found by Number Nine.
Not only did he beat her up severely, he also threw her to the deserted Tiankong Star.
Because she had never expected such an emergency, there were not many supplies in her space bracelet. Just as Shi Jianxia had guessed before, most of them had been consumed in these days.
Thinking that he was being chased by a parasite with combat power equivalent to that of a supernatural realm and almost ended up in its stomach, the counterfeit could not control his resentment towards Xia and No. 9.
But when his life was threatened and arrogant and provocative words came to his lips, he dared not say them out loud.
This made her feel even more frustrated.
The imposter thought angrily.
Why can't she beat Number Nine? !
Shi Jianxia watched her expression change like a palette, and was a little curious about what she was thinking, but this was not the point of her temporarily sparing the fake's life.
She placed the fat cub into Number Nine's arms, walked up to the imposter, and said condescendingly, "Answer my questions honestly, and I can let you go."
The faker covered his throat and looked up at her. He then sneered and turned his gaze to Number Nine, who had softened his expression and started to smooth over Xixi's fur. "You let me go, and then let this mad dog kill me?"
Quite vigilant.
"He won't kill you, so you can rest assured, right?" Shi Jianxia said.
The fake didn't trust her easily, and his suspicious eyes swept between the two of them, "I know your secret, will you let me go?"
Once the mimicry that can devour insect vortices appears, it will certainly become the object of competition and attraction among various forces.
Number Seven's failure to tell the Doctor about this matter clearly indicates that he harbors evil intentions. After the matter is exposed, he may not necessarily seek the Doctor's protection. Instead, he may use this as a bargaining chip to cooperate with a certain force within the Federation and rebel against Higanbana.
After all, this guy has never shown any loyalty to the Doctor, and he always does things in front of the Doctor that other Jade Card holders would never dare to do.
Shi Jianxia laughed softly, "I only said I would give you a way out, but I didn't say I would take you out of Tianqiong Star."
"After we reach a deal, whether you can survive on this sandy planet will still depend on your luck."
In an instant, the fake's face became extremely ugly.
But she also knew in her heart that Number Seven would not let her go, and this was the biggest concession the other party could make at the moment.
Shi Jianxia saw that her expression began to change again, and really felt that she was the reincarnation of the color palette.
"How about it? Have you thought it over? My patience is limited. I might have this idea now, but I might have another idea later."
As long as a person has weaknesses, he will be exploited.
The imposter had exposed her weakness; in this one-sided 'negotiation', she was not qualified to make any offer.
The obvious threat made the imposter want to glare at her, but thinking of the fate of No. 12, he retracted his gaze.
Number Twelve had just joked in front of Number Seven and Number Nine, saying "Isn't this a waste and her cub?", and she had her throat slashed in front of the Doctor.
The mad dog No. 9 was still stepping on No. 12's head, watching helplessly as the blood from his aorta spurted all over the ground and he died of bleeding.
It was then that the counterfeit realized that Number Seven was not as easy to talk to as she appeared to be. When she really went crazy, she was even more terrifying than the real lunatic Number Nine.
She raised her hand and pressed her lower lip, "I know what you want to ask."
This is a promised deal.
Shi Jianxia's eyebrows raised slightly, "Then tell me, what do I want to ask?"
"I have a condition. If you promise me, I will tell you everything." The fake said calmly.
Seeing that she still dared to bargain, Number Nine narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold tide of ice instantly spread to her feet.
The imposter stepped back reflexively.
Mad dog!
She's talking to Seven, what's wrong with him?
Shi Jianxia raised his hand lightly, "Xiaojiu, don't be so violent."
Number Nine felt vaguely that these words were familiar, as if someone had asked him not to be so violent not long ago.
After recalling where he had heard this before, Number Nine's face instantly fell, and he said sarcastically: "What do you care about me?"
Shi Jianxia had no idea what he was doing madly, so he said speechlessly, "Shut up, turn around, and fill Xixi's pockets."
Number Nine bared his teeth in dissatisfaction, but ultimately did not argue with her. He turned around and stuffed the insect crystal into Xixi's pocket.
The counterfeit was very jealous of the man who was so obedient.
"What are the conditions?" Shi Jianxia asked with interest.
Seeing that she didn't refuse directly, the imposter calmed himself and said, "I know that you will betray the Doctor one day. I also know that in the Doctor's eyes, I am just an object that can be discarded after use. I want to join your team."
Before Shi Jianxia could say anything, Number Nine turned around furiously, his eyes, as blue as the deep sea, blazing with flames. "What are you daydreaming about?"
The ice tide that was originally just attached to the ground instantly condensed into a sharp ice cone, piercing straight into the impostor's throat, only inches away from her larynx.
The counterfeit broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and decisively cast a look of pleading towards Shi Jianxia, trying to get her protection.
Shi Jianxia never thought that her condition would be this. She raised her hand to hold down the jumping No. 9, but he scolded her.
"One, two, three, is it ever going to end? Is the food in your house really that delicious? Do we all want to scramble for a bite?"
Shi Jianxia: "...I see you eat very happily, you can finish three bowls of rice in one meal."
Number Nine: “…”
It’s over, it seems to be really fragrant.
He stiffened his neck unconvincedly and said, "That was a metaphor! Do you understand the metaphor?"
Shi Jianxia uttered an "oh" and took out a piece of fruit from her space bracelet that she had washed in advance and put in there so that she could take it out and eat it at any time. She stuffed the fruit into No. 9's mouth under his puzzled gaze. Feeling him biting it, she put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him to turn around.
"Be good, eat some fruit to moisten your throat, and don't disturb me while I'm doing my work."
Number Nine: “…”
The fake who hadn't had any water for most of the day: "..."
She licked her lips and moved back quietly to avoid the sharp ice cone.
Number Nine held the fruit in one hand and held it in the other, then took a big bite, making a crisp crunching sound.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Shi Jianxia cleared his throat, pulled back the increasingly unserious atmosphere, and said to the imposter, "The doctor is holding the identity jade token that can cost you your life. How dare you betray him?"
The counterfeit gave a bitter laugh. "I'm out of supplies. Staying here will only lead to death. It's either side of the road. I might as well follow you and save my life."
"As long as you don't tell the doctor about this, I can continue to stay undercover in Higanbana and my life will not be threatened. I hope that after you find a way to remove the jade token's control over us, you can save my life at the same time."
"From now on, I will definitely stay away from you and not get in your way anymore."
This is really an exciting proposal. What Shi Jianxia lacks most now is information related to the red spider lily.
Number Nine had been out of the experimental chamber for too short a time and only had a vague understanding of many things. The Doctor might have been on guard against him and had never assigned him any important tasks. The most he knew was to destroy an abandoned stronghold or hunt down an experimental subject who had accidentally defected.
Her own memory is fragmented, and she still has no idea how she spent the ten years in Higanbana. She only has some fragmentary memories of training and scenes of staying in the laboratory.
Shi Jianxia blinked and agreed, "Okay."
The imposter immediately showed a look of relief and said without delay: "I know you want to ask why I sent you to Xiaohan Star."
Shi Jianxia gestured for her to continue.
The fake licked his dry lips again, carefully raised his index finger and said, "Can you give me a bottle of water?"
Snap!
The crisp sound of the fruit flesh being bitten was clearly audible, and the counterfeit immediately shrank his neck.
Shi Jianxia was very kind and took out a bottle of water from her space bracelet and threw it to her.
The fake thought that the rumors were indeed true. Number Seven was very nice to people in her camp.
She immediately unscrewed the bottle cap, drank most of the water, and put the remaining half into the space bracelet.
Noticing that Shi Jianxia had been watching her movements, she quickly said, "The doctor asked me to do this."
Hearing this, Shi Jianxia narrowed his eyes, and No. 9 paused in biting the fruit.
Shi Jianxia looked at the imposter with a half-smile, "Are you deliberately trying to exacerbate the conflict between me and the doctor?"
She summoned the beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
A furry little white rabbit jumped out from the pages of the book. There was a red auspicious cloud mark on its forehead. Its slender ears moved, and it wanted to jump into Shi Jianxia's arms.
Shi Jianxia raised her hand to hold it, and the beast rubbed its head against her palm, and the red auspicious cloud mark on its forehead lit up slightly.
The Mimicry Talent of the Lie Beast is [Absolute Lie], which has an active effect called [Lie Detector] that can detect whether what someone says is true.
She had only used it once before, and that was on Wen Qiuqiu.
The imposter was honored to be the second one.
After the red auspicious cloud mark lit up, Shi Jianxia said to the imposter, "Repeat what you just said."
When the counterfeit saw her suddenly summon the evil beast, he already had some guesses in his mind. After hearing these words, he naturally guessed the specific function of the evil beast.
She pursed her slightly moistened lips and repeated without a trace of guilt, "It was the doctor who ordered me to make the interstellar spacecraft you were on crash into Xiaohan Star."
Not only did she repeat what she had just said, she also stated the specific events, so there was no possibility of her lying.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... the beast shook its little head.
The imposter didn't lie.
It’s actually true.
Shi Jianxia was very surprised.
Number Nine also turned around and lost interest in eating the fruit.
In fact, when the interstellar spacecraft crashed into Xiaohan Star instead of exploding directly in the universe, Shi Jianxia vaguely guessed that the impostor did not really want her life, but wanted to trap her on Xiaohan Star to achieve a certain purpose.
But she couldn't figure out why the counterfeit did this.
If the conflict was attributed to jealousy and resentment, the imposter should have simply blown up the spacecraft, leaving her dead without a burial place.
Apart from this, Shi Jianxia couldn't imagine why she would do this alone and on her own initiative.
If the Doctor was behind this, everything would make sense.
But new questions arise.
"Doctor, do you want to take me to Xiaohan Star or to the Fallen Star?" Shi Jianxia continued to ask.
The imposter answered honestly, "The instructions he gave were 'When No. 7 returns to Nan Teng from Mosasaur, have her spaceship crash into the Fallen Planet.' Those were his exact words. As for why he did this, he didn't say."
She even repeated the original words, but the beast did not give any feedback that she was lying.
Shi Jianxia's tense nerves relaxed slightly.
It seems that her guess just now was too radical.
How could the discovery of Principal Nan Chi's body and the unexpected appearance of the butterfly-faced man have been planned in advance? The doctor could not predict the decisions she would make in different situations, let alone what would happen in the future.
Putting aside the two biggest discoveries on Xiaohan Star this time, Shi Jianxia couldn't figure out why the doctor brought her to the fallen planet.
Could it be that he had realized that the Classic of Mountains and Seas could devour insect vortexes? Was he deliberately giving her this golden opportunity to test her?
If the number of insect vortexes decreases after she leaves, it will support this speculation.
Although Ruoshou's appearance can provide a certain degree of concealment, it may not be useful to the doctor, so when he contacted her yesterday, he didn't even mention the Butterfly-faced Man and Ruoshou.
This made Shi Jianxia feel as if someone was holding him in someone's palm and kneading him at will.
It is imperative to take down the headquarters of Higanbana!
No matter what the doctor's purpose is, all problems will be solved as long as he is killed.
Shi Jianxia exhaled slowly, "So, my falling into Xiaohan Star has nothing to do with you?"
The imposter nodded repeatedly, "The doctor ordered me to do that. I was just following his orders."
"It was the doctor who sent me to the Xia family on Mosasaur Star. He said he wanted you to be more cautious and stop laughing with those little brats in the military academy."
He was so quick to change his attitude according to the situation and sold out the doctor so easily. If the fake beast had not reacted, Shi Jianxia would have suspected that the impostor was lying to her.
When the Xia family of Canglong Star was mentioned, Shi Jianxia straightened up slightly and asked, "What did you take away from the Xia family?"
The Xia family members of Canglong Star have been under close surveillance by the Zerg Investigation Office, and all those who have participated in the military and politics are also under suspension and investigation. In addition, Gongye Jiwang once discovered that they were smuggling Zergs, and the evidence is conclusive. It is only a matter of time before those involved are sent to prison.
However, regarding the matter of enhanced humans, the head of the Xia family completely denied it, saying that he had no idea why they appeared in the Xia family's main residence. He also accused the Zerg Investigation Bureau of poor performance and allowed terrorists to threaten the personal safety of the federal people.
Even though Zhuang Mingyue's mimicry could determine whether a person was lying, if he met such a rogue, he would accuse him of "deliberately framing" him, and naturally there would be no way to pry out from him what the imposter had taken away.
The imposter paused, his eyes glancing at the deceitful beast. Knowing he couldn't possibly be lying, he replied, "A study on the enhancement of semi-parasites."
Shi Jianxia stretched out his hand in front of her and said, "Take it out."
The imposter immediately said, "I'll give it to the doctor after I get it."
"Haven't you read the contents inside?" Shi Jianxia asked back.
The counterfeit gritted his teeth, but ultimately did not dare to shake his head under the gaze of the false beast, but tried to make excuses.
"I did read it, but I couldn't understand the research materials at all. If you want me to write down some of what I read, I can try, but I can't guarantee the accuracy of the content."
Shi Jianxia ignored her excuses and asked, "Did you make a backup?"
The imposter's expression froze.
Shi Jianxia hooked his finger and said, "Take it out."
They are not very loyal to the doctor, so how could they not have some bargaining chips in their hands?
The fake gritted his teeth, knowing there was no room for negotiation. He took out a chip from his space bracelet and slapped it into her hand with his eyes closed. "This is a backup."
Shi Jianxia picked up the chip, took out the smart bracelet he had given to the kids for study, and stuck it on.
A light blue data stream slid by quickly, and virtual screens popped up one after another. The dense text, a large number of experimental pictures and videos made Shi Jianxia's scalp tingle.
She glanced through some of the content and was almost nauseated by some of the pictures. She quickly turned off the smart computer and put the chip into the space bracelet.
She turned her attention back to the imposter and said with a half-smile, "What do you want to do by copying this information?"
The fake one lacked confidence and said, "I didn't intend to do anything."
The beast immediately erected its long left ear.
The imposter closed his eyes in pain, "I just want to get a powerful enhanced human to protect myself."
The beast also erected its long right ear.
The imposter resigned himself to his fate and said, "I want to build a corps of enhanced humans who only obey my orders, improve my status within Higanbana, and make the doctor reluctant to take my life."
"Your wishful thinking is quite sound." Shi Jianxia said with an ambiguous tone.
As she finished speaking, the vicious soldier Zhu Yan appeared and disappeared in her palm, and his dangerous and ferocious aura locked onto the impostor sitting paralyzed on the sand.
Sensing an extremely dangerous murderous aura, she quickly retreated, raised her head and glared at Shi Jianxia, demanding loudly, "Didn't you promise not to kill me? Didn't you also agree to let me switch to your side?"
Snap!
The sound of fruit being bitten, which had been heard for a long time, appeared again, and Number Nine turned around lazily while holding Xixi.
朏朏 slightly raised her little head, glanced at the suspicious curve at the corner of his mouth, then picked up an insect crystal and ate it with a crisp sound.
As they played rhythmically together, Shi Jianxia said slowly, "I really don't want a fence-sitter like you."
Don't think she doesn't know that the so-called transfer to her side is just a stopgap measure taken by the imposter in the current situation where he has no way out.
Once the imposter leaves Sky Star, who knows if she will immediately report her actions here to the Doctor?
The doctor holds the jade token that controls the life of the impostor, but she doesn't.
Shi Jianxia didn't like to keep a time bomb around her, and she had no intention of letting the impostor go from the beginning.
In the dry warm wind of the sand sea, Shi Jianxia gave him a cold smile, "I don't like someone with a face exactly like mine doing something disgusting to me."
The counterfeit stared at her and suddenly let out a strange laugh. When another gust of wind wrapped in thin sand blew, the whole person turned into a vague flame and drilled into the ground.
Rustle, rustle...
The sand where Xia and No. 9 were standing suddenly collapsed.
Extremely cold ice surged out, freezing the quicksand into icy lumps in the blink of an eye, but the impostor took this opportunity to escape from their sight.
Number Nine clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, and Xixi also stood on tiptoe from his arms, trying to catch someone.
Shi Jianxia waved his hand and said, "I left a mark on her. Gonggong and the others are here to take charge. She can't escape."
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud noise came from her right.
The two looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a young man in a white robe appear at some point in the path the imposter had to take to escape. He accurately reached his hand into the sand, grabbed her neck, and pulled her out from under the sand.
Number Nine narrowed his eyes immediately and said in a bad tone, "What are you showing off for?"
Shi Jianxia: “?”
Sensing her gaze, Number Nine coughed to cover it up and said unhappily, "Which little brother is like him? Stealing the limelight from his own boss!"
Shi Jianxia: "..."
Under normal circumstances, isn't it the younger brothers who charge forward in the front while the boss sits back and reaps the fruits of his labor?
This guy is really not very smart. Even when his younger brother helps him solve a problem, he still accuses him of "stealing the limelight".
While I was complaining in my heart, my younger brother came back with the fake product and threw it to the ground like garbage.
The counterfeit was punched hard, with blood on his lips and his hands hanging limply at his sides. It was unclear whether they were dislocated or broken. He looked very miserable.
Shi Jianxia didn't give her any chance to speak or beg for mercy. He sharpened the sword and cut her neck cleanly.
Bright red blood gushed out, and the counterfeit widened his eyes in disbelief, as if he still couldn't believe that his life would end on this desolate planet covered with yellow sand.
The fire of Bifang was ignited, and the counterfeit was burned to ashes, leaving only a pile of ashes.
When the wind blows, the ashes will be scattered, and there will be no trace of her existence in the world.
Shi Jianxia's expression didn't change much. After experiencing so many things, she was able to face death calmly.
After collecting the Zhu Yan sword, she nodded to her younger brother, "Thank you... What should I call you?"
Number Nine's sharp eyes quickly fixed on the mask hidden under his younger brother's cloak.
I saw the younger brother raised his hand and pressed down the brim of his cloak, then he controlled the sand floating in the air and wrote a word -
"Pan?" Shi Jianxia said softly.
Rock of rocks?
Number Nine's expression relaxed slightly, and he said to Shi Jianxia nonchalantly, "He's a mute, doesn't like to talk, and doesn't like to talk to people. Just leave him alone."
Shi Jianxia: "..."
She reasonably suspected that Bai Xiaojiu, this idiot who would spit out blades from his mouth, would be killed by his younger brothers sooner or later.
I continue to write——
You're welcome.
Shi Jianxia deeply believes that the reason why No. 9's regime has not been overthrown so far is because his younger brother has a good character. Otherwise, with his ability to easily intercept imposters, he can easily establish an independent regime.
So she cast a loving look at her little brother.
Number Nine snorted rudely after seeing this, "Hypocrisy!"
Number Nine and his younger brother were willing to fight and be beaten. Shi Jianxia decided not to interfere in other people's internal affairs, so he changed the subject and said, "I'm going to stay here for a while. Do you want to leave first or..."
"I don't have anything to do, so I'll just stay here for a few days and treat it as a trip." Number Nine ate the last bite of fruit and put the core back into the trash can in the space bracelet.
If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why use the excuse of tourism? Who has nothing better to do than to travel to a place like Tianqiongxing?
Shi Jianxia did not break No. 9's thin skin.
My little brother writes——
Wherever my brother is, there I am.
Number Nine raised the corner of his mouth, giving him a rare good look, "You're smart."
Shi Jianxia: "..."
Wen Qiuqiu also chose to stay.
-
Shi Jianxia Xiao accepted the counterfeit space bracelet, which contained a rich stock of insect crystals. It seemed that he had been hunted by parasites many times during his time on Tianqiong Star.
She divided the insect crystal into four equal parts, giving one to each person.
Tyrant No. 9 wanted to forcibly take away the share of the civilian younger brother, but Shi Jianxia scolded him severely and saved the younger brother who was about to starve under the harsh rule.
I was very grateful to her, so in the following operation, I worked extra hard to hunt Zerg, and I also said that I would hand over half of the harvest to her.
Shi Jianxia felt very embarrassed, so every time No. 9 wanted to attack his younger brother, she asked Xixi to take him away to prevent his younger brother from becoming ideologically awakened under her influence, which might lead to class conflicts.
Wen Qiuqiu remained very quiet throughout, trying not to get involved in the fights between the carnivores. He would only occasionally glance at his seemingly honest and honest younger brother, and quietly label him:
The tea has a nice aroma.
As unpredictable as Number Nine, he is no match for the Green Tea Boy.
-
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Shi Jianxia returned with a full load. The cubs swallowed all the insect vortices they could, and their bellies were full. Their levels were all upgraded to above A level.
A considerable number of them were promoted to S-level.
Because Shi Jianxia instructed the cubs to focus on swallowing the insect vortex and not to conflict with high-level insects, the hunting for so many days was safe and sound, and they did not encounter the butterfly-faced people with terrifying combat power like last time on Xiaohan Star.
The interstellar spacecraft docked at the private interstellar port of Nan Teng Star.
Next, Number Nine needs to follow the Doctor's instructions and temporarily return to the capital star and not participate in the mission of the fifth star core.
Wen Qiuqiu should return to Nanteng Military Academy to digest the gains from the trip to Tianqiong Star.
Shi Jianxia also needed to tidy up a bit before setting off to Tianchenxing Cinnamon Town to participate in the Cinnamon Festival.
As they were about to part ways, a ripple of energy suddenly spread out from the younger brother's side, and a strange and powerful aura enveloped them, forcibly binding the other three people in place.
Shi Jianxia was shocked.
Number Nine instantly became alert, trying to resist the terrifying pressure brought by this huge energy, but found that he could not move at all, like an ant shocked by the majesty of an elephant.
Wen Qiuqiu stood frozen in place, trying to say something but finding that she couldn't make a sound.
Only the younger brother was not affected at all. A pure white conch the size of a palm appeared silently in front of him.
He paused for a second, then nervously grabbed the conch and put it to his ear.
Before he could wait for the Xias to react, he didn't even bother to hide his feelings and grabbed Number Nine, "Lend me the interstellar spaceship! I have an emergency!"
Shi Jianxia widened her eyes slightly.
This voice...
It’s Gongye Jiwang!
He dragged the stiff and immobile Number Nine forward two steps, then stopped as if he suddenly realized something.
He lifted the hood of his cloak, took off his mask, and under No. 9's wide eyes, he quickly walked up to Shi Jianxia and gently hugged her.
The boy's arms were very broad, and his slightly cold breath brushed past her ears like a feather.
Gongye Jiwang lowered his eyes and looked at Shi Jianxia seriously.
"I won't give up, Xia Xia."
After he finished speaking, he carried Number Nine, who was trying to clench his fist but still couldn't move, and got back on the starship.
