Li Xiao coldly glanced around and continued, "It's not about doubting anything. It's the apocalypse now, and I can't help but think about myself. I don't want to end up with a miserable death."
Cheng Shaolin, who had been sitting silently to the side, spoke up at this moment, "Xiaoxiao is taking a risk by taking out these things and saying these things now. I hope you can understand that. Let me make this clear from the beginning: if anything goes wrong with Xiaoxiao, I, Cheng Shaolin, will absolutely not let it go."
Cheng Shaolin, who is usually calm and collected, can be so cold that he can freeze you to death. Although he doesn't have ice-based superpowers, why is there a chill emanating from him?
"No, no, Brother Cheng, we didn't, we didn't." Perhaps intimidated by Cheng Shaolin's piercing gaze, Shao Jie stammered.
Yu Yanbin calmly looked at Cheng Shaolin, whose face was solemn, and smiled. "Shaolin, you're serious, and I'm serious too." Looking into Cheng Shaolin's emotionless eyes, he straightened his expression.
He looked around and said very seriously, “Xiaoxiao took the risk of revealing this to you all, so I hope you can all keep your mouths shut. You absolutely cannot say anything that is not allowed, not even a single word.”
I've never seen Yu Yanbin and Cheng Shaolin both talk about the same thing so seriously at the same time.
Everyone seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and the shock they had just experienced was replaced by a sense of unease and fear in the oppressive atmosphere.
Seeing everyone at a loss, Cheng Shaolin spoke up at the right moment, "I didn't mean to scare you, nor did I mean to make things difficult for you. You might say that if you're afraid of trouble, then don't let anyone know. You can think that way, but Xiaoxiao considers you all her companions and hopes that everyone can have a better time in this apocalypse."
At this point, any lingering unhappiness in everyone's hearts vanished.
Thinking about it, everyone is afraid of being betrayed when they expose their secrets. It's understandable when you think about it.
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry, I, Tian Tian, swear to God I will never betray you. If I ever reveal your secret to anyone, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death." Tian Tian suddenly stood up, raised her right hand, and said with a serious expression.
Seeing Tian Tian's extremely serious expression, Xiao Peng was the second to stand up and said to Li Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, don't worry, my life was saved by Brother Cheng. I won't be ungrateful. I'm only alive because Brother Cheng gave me this life. If I dare to do anything to betray Brother Cheng or to betray you, may I, Xiao Peng, die a horrible death." His deep, resounding voice filled everyone's ears.
Xiao Peng is still trusted by Li Xiao. She knows that she has a space, but she has never mentioned it or asked about it until now.
Then, Meng Yang spoke up, "Xiaoxiao, I understand the seriousness of the matter. Don't worry, your Uncle Meng will always be Uncle Meng."
Li Xiao looked at Meng Yang's face and nodded with a smile.
Actually, Li Xiao still respected everyone's character; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to say anything even if she had a hundred lives.
Seeing that Meng Yang had finished speaking, Shao Jie quickly raised his hand. He hadn't managed to outdo Meng Yang earlier, and he couldn't let Meng Yang fall behind this time.
"Hey, hey, me, me! Don't try to take it from me, let me go first. Me, me!" Shao Jie was so excited, his hand was practically raised to the sky.
"Fine, fine, come on, come on, let's see what you're like." Yu Yanbin couldn't stand it anymore and let him have his way.
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut. I won't even talk in my sleep, really. If you dare utter a single word, I'll kill you on the spot."
"Pfft," seeing Shao Jie jumping around like a monkey, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Seeing that everyone was trying not to laugh, Shao Jie stopped what he was doing and scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"Isn't this a bit too exciting, you guys, hehe." He couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
Seeing that Qiu Fengyu and Zheng Yongnian, who were usually quiet, were about to raise their hands to speak, Yu Yanbin waved his hand and said, "We've all come this far, and we all know each other to some extent. It's not that we're completely open with each other, but at least there's some trust between us."
"You two can rest assured, I'm still watching from the sidelines. Can't I trust you? We've known each other for so many years."
"Shao Lin, what you're worried about will absolutely not happen. Everyone is just trying to make a living, and we would never let anyone know, right?"
Cheng Shaolin leaned back and saw that everyone around him was nodding incessantly, as if afraid of being left behind if they nodded too slowly.
He chuckled and said, "It's not that I don't trust you all, it's just that we haven't heard of this ability yet. You should all know very well what the consequences would be if others found out."
They all understood what Cheng Shaolin was saying.
“You’re right, it really needs to be kept secret. No one can say a word about it, understand?” Yu Yanbin looked at each face one by one.
Qiu Fengyu's cold voice rang out, "Don't worry, I've already said it. Take my life without hesitation, no questions asked."
"right."
"Yes, take my life."
Li Xiao lowered her head. Actually, she didn't want to do this, but she had to.
She raised her head and solemnly parted her lips slightly: "Thank you for your understanding. I don't mean to force anyone to take a stand. You know, if people knew I had this kind of ability, I would be in great danger. I trust everyone, and I hope you can continue to let me trust you."
Faced with Li Xiao's earnest and frank remarks, everyone expressed their understanding.
"Xiaoxiao, we understand your concerns. Don't worry, no one will do anything to betray you. Your brother Cheng is watching over you."
“Hmm,” Li Xiao glanced at Cheng Shaolin sitting next to her, whose handsome face remained stern. “I know, brother is worried about me too. I hope everyone understands.”
Seeing Li Xiao's relaxed tone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, let's leave it at that for now, Xiaoxiao. We understand the seriousness of the matter. Now, can you tell me, um, about your special ability?" Yu Yanbin was very curious now; his refined demeanor could go to hell.
"Oh, it means you can store things, put things away, and then take them out when you need them."
Li Xiao sat obediently and answered everyone's questions.
"This is amazing! There are such superpowers? This is incredible!"
"Yeah, this ability is so convenient. It's just like a portable backpack in a game, you can pick it up and take it out whenever you want."
"Yeah, hey, Xiaoxiao, what's your special ability like? Where do you put things?" Shao Jie asked curiously.
"Where to put it? Hmm, just think of it as a dimensional space, I guess."
⊙△⊙
"That's amazing! Xiaoxiao, you're incredible!" Tian Tian was so excited she wanted to cling to Li Xiao.
Today's excitement was intense; everyone was beaming with excitement and overjoyed.
