Chapter 50: Sunny Moon Mountain Journey - Hunter, are you a pushover? You...
"Really? Really? He really wants to attack a little girl?"
Lin Xi even lowered his voice when explaining, and said pitifully:
"Player B is holding a dagger! He's the center of attention now! Everyone is watching his every move..."
"Shut up, ahhhhh!"
Treasure Hunter B was almost broken by what Lin Xi said, and stabbed Lin Xi with a dagger.
Not far away, Chianti breathed a sigh of relief, as if someone had let out the anger she had been wanting to release but had been holding back.
"Oh! Contestant B is so impressive! He's charging forward! Oops, he's raised his dagger! Alas, he missed, and the dagger just grazed his opponent's face! Will he try again? Let's wait and see!"
"Oh? Our player B is very resilient. He didn't let a single mistake defeat him! He tried again! Oh, what a shame! Maybe it was just bad luck, but this time, his attack missed!"
"Oh, his mechanics are a bit out of whack, but we should be more tolerant and understanding of young players..."
Cohen had already swiftly brought A down.
No matter how much Lin Xi's explanation was exaggerated, at least she was right about one thing -
B was indeed the center of everyone's attention. Now, no matter whether they were standing or lying down, whether they were humans or cats, they were all watching him dancing with the dagger in his hand.
B was so anxious that sweat broke out on his face.
Lin Xi was like a slippery loach, just unable to touch it! If it was simply impossible to touch it, it would be fine, but the key was that every time he was just a little bit off, just a little bit off!
It seemed that his dagger had come into close contact with Lin Xi many times, and it was about to go in and out in the next second, but in fact, it didn't even touch the corner of her clothes!
He could already feel the gazes from behind him, which made him nervous, angry, and a little frightened.
What the hell is this soft persimmon? This guy is completely like a frozen persimmon from Northeast China, hard and tough! Now he is just toying with me!
What frustrated him the most was that Lin Xi kept chattering away, explaining:
"Making mistakes in public is a real test of a player's mentality! Sometimes, the more courageous a player is, the better their performance will be!"
"Contestant B, the last remaining hope, the hope of the entire village... Can he, bearing the bonds with his companions, defeat his opponent and make it to the end? Ah, he missed the attack again!"
Treasure Hunter A turned his head away, unable to bear to look any further.
I was completely fooled.
As for C and D - forgive them, they both wanted to support B, but one was busy searching for his flying front tooth on the floor, while the other one was holding his balls tightly and hadn't recovered yet.
B gasped and slowly stopped.
Lin Xi looked at him curiously: "Player B's offensive has been temporarily suspended! What does he want to do?"
"Could it be?! Is it what I thought? Is he going to start reminiscing and explode?"
B lowered his head and raised his hands to cover his face after hearing Lin Xi's words...
Lin Xi: "Look at this standard pose for reminiscing..."
Then he burst into tears.
Lin Xi:?
"Hey, don't cry, brother, let's talk it over..."
Men don't cry easily, and I'm looking forward to your explosive growth after reminiscing. Don't let everyone think you've been holding it in for a long time, but in fact you just pooped a lot.
"Waaaaaa, you bullied me! You could have easily defeated me, yet you still toyed with me like this..." B cried breathlessly, accusing: "You are simply a pervert..."
"That's right, it's completely changed..." A had just said half of his words when he was stepped on by Chianti who was standing next to him, and he immediately fell silent.
Chianti said unhappily, "How can someone who kidnaps children and points guns at the weak have the right to call others perverts? You are the real idiots, the idiots, the perverts, the idiots!"
Cohen nodded as well: "Stupid and bad."
Coconut: "Meow, meow, meow."
Chianti's and Cohen's owners are right.
Even Hiroki Kashimura agreed.
Lin Xi clasped his hands together with emotion: "Chianti, Cohen, Coconut... and Xiao Hongshu..."
Chianti turned his head away, not wanting to see this guy do something stupid.
Treasure Hunter B sat dejectedly on the ground, sobbing.
Lin Xi poked him and asked, "Um, can you lend me your dagger?"
B handed her the dagger with tears in his eyes.
She picked up the dagger and walked to Hiroki, cut the rope with a flick of the knife, picked up the child and placed him on a stone nearby to rest.
She looked at the wound on Kashimura Hiroki's body, touched her chin, took out a small pill and handed it to him:
"Here, eat it, it's sweet."
Hiroki took it, looked at it curiously, and put it in his mouth and chewed it without hesitation.
Wow!
Kashimura Hiroki's face twisted.
So bitter!
Big sister lied to me!
Lin Xi blinked, "Bitter? Sorry, sorry... I thought this pill was sweet."
After all, Gin had no expression on his face when he ate.
She even asked him curiously what it tasted like.
She said that gin's taste is different from that of ordinary people.
Chianti came over and asked, "Do you know this kid?"
"I know him, but he doesn't know me." Lin Xi said honestly, "But after today, we'll know each other."
"Hiroki-chan, my name is Shibahara Saki, what's your name?"
Kashimura Hiroki glanced at her and asked sincerely, "Are you a man or a woman? I don't know what to call you."
Lin Xi:?
A small sentence can cause so much harm.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha." Chianti on the side laughed wildly.
Lin Xi looked at Hiroki Kashimura blinking his eyes, feeling like crying but unable to do so.
If I had known earlier, I would have taken off a layer of disguise and went to get the ice cream!
He shouldn't have hit on the kid right in that blond bodyguard's face!
Being mistaken for a man...
"I'm a woman," she said sadly, "Please call me Shibahara-nee-san, or Saki-nee-san."
Hiroki Kashimura nodded: "My name is Hiroki Kashimura, nice to meet you, Sister Shibahara."
He moved his arms and was surprised to find that the bruises and marks from bruises had disappeared, and his body was exactly the same as before the injury.
Sister Shibahara can not only transform, fight (although she just keeps dodging), and play games, but she also has a lot of very useful medicine.
A very magical big sister.
"Xiao Hongshu, why are you here?" Lin Xi asked.
"My father's company caught fire that day," Hiroki Kashimura said, looking at the culprit. "My father was afraid that I would be frightened, so he brought me out to relax."
Lin Xi felt a little guilty.
"Ahem...So you were scared that day?"
Hiroki Kashimura shook his head.
"I wasn't scared, but Dad was. I had to stay with him during this period, otherwise he would worry about me. But after we arrived at Haruki Mountain, they separated us again (Kashimura Hiroki pointed to ABCD lying on the ground)."
"Look at you, look at you, you are truly guilty of a heinous crime," Lin Xi said to the four people on the ground with a sigh, "You've made the father worry about his child again."
The treasure hunters now dared not even to show their anger, and whatever Lin Xi said was the truth.
"Let me see, is this the code?" Chianti approached the slate with interest. "Cohen, do you understand it?"
Cohen: “I don’t understand.”
It's a bit difficult for the killer.
Lin Xi turned to Kashimura Hiroki: "Little Hiroki, do you understand?"
Hiroki Kashimura nodded.
"So powerful?" Chianti said in amazement. "No wonder they wanted to arrest you. A bunch of idiots can't even beat a six-year-old boy. How shameful!"
ABCD on the ground: ...
Please, you don’t understand it either!
Hiroki Kashimura: "Because this is not a password."
Lin Xi asked with interest: "What is that? A symbol?"
She turned her eyes away from the stone slab. She really hated the dense symbols.
There is no aesthetic at all.
Hiroki Kashimura nodded. "It's the C++ programming language, except all the key characters have been replaced with patterns of varying shapes, and the numbers have also been swapped. As long as you find the corresponding patterns, it's easy to crack it."
Lin Xi: ...It sounds easy to say. If I didn’t know that you skipped to sixth grade at the age of six and were not an ordinary person, I would have believed it.
"So what does this slate say?"
Hiroki Kashimura: "It's a simple process. Turn the pointer clockwise on the dial over there. If it turns less than 90 degrees, an arrow will be shot. If it turns more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees, the stone door will open. If it turns more than 180 degrees, the mechanism above will be activated, and the water will flood the entire place."
Everyone looked in the direction the boy pointed and found a blocked dial on the side of the rock.
Lin Xi walked over, found the pointer, and turned it clockwise for less than half a circle. After a while, the stone door rumbled open.
There are several forked roads inside.
But the rumbling sound did not disappear.
Lin Xi and his friends looked at each other, and then their expressions changed.
"I*!"
She uttered a rather inelegant Chinese curse word.
The sound of flowing water above my head became louder and louder, mixed with the sound of falling rocks, banging against the top of the rock.
The rocks on the top of the rock began to break off in large pieces, and water gushed out.
Lin Xi only had time to grab Kashimura Hiroki before he was swept away by the rushing water.
Chianti, in turn, reflexively grabbed hold of Cohen, who reflexively held onto the coconut, and they floated together along the current;
Treasure hunters ABCD were also separated by the current and no one knew where they were washed to.
Lin Xi was floating in the water, with only one thought in his mind -
The umbrella was used in vain.
In the end, he became a drowned chicken.
Who built this secret room? It’s such a shoddy construction!
Lin Xi, who was floating on the water, kept complaining in his heart.
She suspected that the cave they came from was actually a reservoir, storing water for traps...
As a result, because the secret passage had been in disrepair for a long time, and A's shot went astray, the roof leaked directly, and all the water stored there flowed down.
She spoke, "Hiroki-chan, are you okay?"
Hiroki Kashimura hummed.
Hand in hand, they floated and sank with the water, drifting downstream, the turbulent current pushing them forward - until the splashing sound was heard again.
Hiroki Kashimura remained calm: "Sister Shibahara, there is a cliff ahead."
"—No, Xiao Hongshu," Lin Xi said, "How could you say such horrible words in such a calm tone?"
The boy blinked his innocent eyes.
"Shibahara-nee can handle it, right? Leave it to Shibahara-nee."
Lin Xi: "That's true, but..."
But you trust me too much, don’t you?
This is only the second time we meet!
The cliff was getting closer and closer. Lin Xi stared at the rock wall above, holding the buttocks of the child in her arms with her hands, and her left hand had been put on the grappling hook at some point.
The moment they were pushed off the cliff, Lin Xi launched a grappling hook, hooked onto the protruding part of the rock wall, and then used inertia to kick it steadily onto the wall opposite the cliff.
Lin Xi controlled the release speed of the grappling hook and slid down slowly; while Hiroki Kashimura cooperated by hugging Lin Xi's neck tightly.
They quickly slid to the bottom of the cliff.
Beside them, water cascaded down the cliffs and flowed into the distance along the drainage ditch at the bottom.
She and Hiroki Kashimura landed safely. Lin Xi put away the grappling hook and took out a blanket from the system backpack and covered the boy's head with it.
"Hiroki-chan, use this to wipe the water off and don't catch a cold."
Hiroki Kashimura looked at the blanket that appeared out of nowhere, blinked his eyes, but did not show any surprise. He obediently wiped the water off his hair and wrapped himself in the blanket.
Lin Xi squatted beside the gutter and wrung out his sleeves and hem.
Her mountaineering clothes were soaked in water and stuck to her body, feeling heavy and uncomfortable.
It's true that there are clean clothes in the backpack, but...
Lin Xi looked at the map.
The small dots on it are moving.
None of these people were easy to fool. It was hard for her to explain to them why her clothes had changed in the blink of an eye...
It's so distressing.
