Chapter 338 Testing Each Other
It's so weird.
Everything that happened before his eyes was so sudden that Xia Liang was unable to react in time.
It was not until the three people lying on the ground collectively escaped from the maze that she suddenly realized what kind of situation she was in. Almost instinctively, she tightly grasped the wand that appeared in her hand.
There were other people who had similar reactions to Xia Liang, and those two were not even the sisters Shandan and Juandan, but Buddleja's teammates. The two magical girls who followed her to attack the Calla Lily team but stopped after the smoke was broken were also shocked by Buddleja's behavior.
Yes, even Buddleja’s teammates found it difficult to understand her series of words and actions.
In fact, on the way their team came, although Buddleja was the guide, she never mentioned that she was on a special trip to attack someone. Even when she attacked the Calla Lily team, she said that "the other party may have discovered some kind of puzzle, and we can try to hide our identities and eliminate them to seize resources."
So it wasn't just Calla Lily who felt extremely puzzled when she was eliminated. No one present had expected that Buddleja would dare to act so blatantly when her appearance and identity had been exposed and she might be identified even if she eliminated others.
“Hehe, did you see that expression on her face when she was eliminated?”
As if she didn't notice the almost frozen atmosphere at the scene, Buddlei turned around and spoke cheerfully as if she was showing off some of her creations. Her shoulders twitched and she laughed strangely, her eyes wandering between her teammates and Xia Liang and others: "He is just a fool who can't understand the situation. He looks really stupid."
But no one responded to her.
Her two teammates were obviously just ordinary candidates, and they were frightened by her unauthorized actions. As for Xia Liang and others, they were not as if they were facing a great enemy, but they were definitely extremely vigilant.
Even Shandan had realized the seriousness of the situation, and held hands with her sister Juandan, with a serious look on her face. No one dared to trust a candidate who would attack other teams at will, even if that person did not seem to have the inclination to do so.
The same is true for cool summer.
However, if possible, she didn't want to fight with the other team.
This idea was not entirely based on strength, although she was a little worried about whether the two sisters of Shandan Juandan could withstand the opponent...but this was not the point. The real point was that Buddaria did not seem to care about being "identified".
In this maze test, one of the biggest limitations of all candidates was ignored by the other party, so the meaning behind it is worth pondering. Xia Liang couldn't figure out why this happened for a while, so she chose to stay away.
“…It was a wonderful battle.”
So she organized her words and tried to persuade the other party by starting with a compliment: "Although our team just happened to pass by, you all gave us a wonderful practical demonstration, and we benefited a lot from it."
"Really? Haha."
Hearing this, Buddleija smiled, but was a little noncommittal: "You have good taste."
"I apologize for possibly disturbing your battle. However, our team is just passing by here. We have no intention of participating in the battle, nor are we interested in what you might be fighting for."
Seeing that there seemed to be a possibility of communication, Xia Liang pretended to be stupid and smiled innocently, "So, since your battle is over, can you let our team pass through here? We don't plan to stay, and we won't do anything."
"Through . . . ?"
He restrained his eerie smile that made people feel uncomfortable and looked at the passage behind him expressionlessly.
At this moment, she seemed to have suddenly become a normal person again, and asked her two teammates, "What do you think?"
"Ah, ah?" The teammate she asked was stunned, with an expression as if to say, "So I have something to do here?" He hesitated and said, "What?"
"The team said they had no ill intentions and wanted to pass through the intersection behind us."
Buddleija's lips curled up slightly: "Do you think it's credible? Do you want to let them pass?"
"I, I think it should be okay..."
As if to confirm whether Buddleja had "recovered to normal", another teammate looked at her and replied: "Anyway, we are just passing by here. If you don't plan to take action, then just move on."
"Yeah, that's true."
Buddleija nodded slightly: "Anyway, I have no interest in opponents of average strength. I have already had enough fun fighting with others... There is no reason to drag them into a fight."
"Okay, that's decided then."
After talking to himself for a while, Zuiyucao made a decision on his own. He turned to Xia Liang and the others and said with a relaxed look, "You guys go ahead."
Xia Liang couldn't help but look at Shandan Juandan.
Is it that simple? No wonder she was suspicious. Everyone was confused by Buddleja's inconsistent attitude. But since the other party showed normal communication skills and his words were sincere, then maybe... there was no problem, right?
Thinking about this, Xia Liang maintained his "innocent" personality and said with a big smile: "Okay, thank you, let's go."
She reached out and pulled Shandan, secretly signaling the two to stand on her left side, and then she walked past the Buddlejade as if she was completely defenseless.
Nothing happened.
Buddleija and her two teammates just quietly watched Xia Liang and the other two pass by, as if it was really as she said, "there was no reason to start a fight."
However, Xia Liang somehow suddenly remembered a sentence that Cuiqiao had said to him and Lin Xiaolu a long time ago.
——"Magical girls should be wary of enemies and strangers, and trust their companions as much as possible."
So, is Buddleja, who acted calmly and seemed to have no intention of taking action, really like what she said?
Xia Liang couldn't help but observe the other person out of the corner of his eye.
There was no doubt that at this moment, Buddleija was indeed standing there in a very relaxed posture, with his hands behind his back, his back hunched, his legs apart, and no obvious magical fluctuations on his body. This standing posture was undoubtedly relaxed... right?
No, that's not the case.
Xia Liang noticed it, or rather, she had already sensed something was wrong when she saw that action.
Buddleija, with its hands behind its back.
“Retreat!”
She suddenly shouted to her two teammates, and almost at the same time she took out her magic suit. Several mirrors quickly formed a clear barrier between her team and the other side.
Through the gaps in the magic suit, Xia Liang seemed to see the sudden smile of Buddleja .
Then, purple-red smoke suddenly exploded and instantly filled the entire passage.
