Chapter 217 Christie: Just be jealous
As soon as Todd could see clearly in the darkness, he went to see if anyone was missing.
As a result, when he saw this, his eyelids twitched.
Lin Jiu disappeared at some point.
Out of some concern, Todd focused some of his attention on Lin Jiu at the moment the lights were turned off.
As it turned out, his concerns were right.
Lin Jiu's breathing was very shallow, so Todd didn't know where Lin Jiu ran to by himself or if he was taken away by something.
But if you think about it carefully, he must have run off somewhere on his own.
Everyone else was still there, and everyone was alert to their surroundings and not acting rashly.
But soon, others also discovered that Lin Jiu was missing.
Just then, the butler's voice came from outside the restaurant.
It turned out that the power supply had tripped.
Soon, the lights in the restaurant came on.
The butler ran into the restaurant with a panicked and uneasy look on his face. Seeing that everyone was fine, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, he noticed that the most eye-catching boy among all the people was missing.
Before the butler could ask anything, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the utility room, which really scared the elderly butler.
Todd heard the sound and rushed out without thinking.
Others followed closely behind.
The butler was a little panicked, but after all, he had been a butler for many years, so he quickly calmed down and followed.
When Todd rushed to the utility room, he saw Lin Jiu sitting on the ground against the wall, rubbing his shoulders, and a broken wooden door on the ground.
There were debris everywhere.
From some small wounds on Lin Jiu's face and the wood debris near him, it can be inferred that he was blown out of the utility room by something.
Todd hurried forward and squatted down to check on Lin Jiu's condition.
"Are you okay?" As he said that, he reached out and gently touched Lin Jiu's arm to check, not daring to use force.
Lin Jiu looked up at him and shook his head slightly.
"fine."
Lin Jiu supported himself on his knees and slowly stood up. Todd didn't know his specific situation, but he still helped him.
After standing up, Lin Jiu moved his shoulders.
Todd gently shook some wood chips off his back.
If it weren't for the special fabric of the uniform provided by the guild, the wood splinters would definitely have pierced Lin Jiu's back.
After moving around a few times, Lin Jiu looked at the storage room with a slightly frown on his face, his expression somewhat ugly.
Everyone returned to the living room, Todd treated the wound on Lin Jiu's face, and Lin Jiu explained what had just happened.
Time goes back five minutes.
After the lights in the restaurant suddenly went out, Lin Jiu did not move.
He sat in a chair, observing his surroundings and preparing to wait and see what would happen.
The reason he left was because he saw a dark shadow coming out of the kitchen.
Lin Jiu originally planned to intercept, but the black shadow was too fast and he could only chase after it.
In this way, Lin Jiu chased all the way to the storage room.
After entering the utility room, the door closed automatically. Before Lin Jiu could prepare for the battle, something suddenly hit him and knocked him out.
It was so sudden that Lin Jiu didn't even know what knocked him away.
To be honest, at that moment, Lin Jiu's mind went blank.
After falling to the ground, he was stunned for several seconds before coming back to his senses.
After the recollection ended, Todd had already treated Lin Jiu's wounds. He frowned slightly and spoke in a slightly cold tone, "It's too dangerous! If there is a situation, just tell us. Don't always think about acting alone!"
This time Todd was really angry. Lin Jiu didn't say anything and just nodded honestly.
He really didn't care.
Looking at Lin Jiu who lowered his head and remained silent, Todd sighed softly.
When he spoke again, Todd softened his tone: "How about your back? Does it hurt?"
Hearing this, Lin Jiu raised his hand to touch his shoulder and shook his head.
It was a bit painful when I was knocked out, but now I don't feel it anymore.
But there is a high probability of bruises.
Todd nodded, put away the medical kit and returned it to the butler.
"We'll fix the utility room door," he said.
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper shook his head and said, "Don't bother you guys. Leave this kind of chore to me."
With that, he left.
The back looks a little tired.
It was getting dark, and Todd felt that something else would happen tonight, so he asked everyone to start their routine patrol.
But nothing happened during this period.
The third floor was very quiet, and the painting on the living room wall had not changed at all.
Since there were three groups for the third day's purchase, Todd and the other two new players went to rest after patrolling.
Lin Jiu took the initiative to take over the patrol on the third floor, and he was accompanied by Chris who was selected from Group 2.
Charles objected very strongly, but unfortunately, his objection was in vain.
Third floor.
Compared to the two floors below, the third floor is dim and a bit damp, and you can faintly smell a faint pungent smell.
It seems to be musty.
Christie waved his hand in front of him with some disgust.
Lin Jiu glanced at him and didn't say "It could also be the smell of a corpse."
As soon as they reached the third floor, Chris naturally moved closer to Lin Jiu, put his arms around his neck and looked very intimate.
His height, which was 95 centimeters taller than Lin's, became particularly obvious when they got closer.
Lin Jiu looked at him again, said nothing, and did not struggle to break free from Christy's arms.
Christy always liked to stick close to him like this, and sometimes he also liked to stick close to other people like this.
However, when he was with Lin Jiu like this, it was usually when they were alone, or when Charles was not around.
Lin Jiu didn't care. Appropriate intimate contact showed that Christie had goodwill towards him and was a symbol of love.
Moreover, for someone like Christie who doesn't like to have too much physical contact with others, the fact that he always likes to stick close to Lin Jiu is enough to prove his affection for Lin Jiu.
Maybe their actual relationship was not as close as it appeared, but Lin Jiu didn't mind Christie's behavior at all.
But Charles was quite resistant to this.
Although Chris has a frivolous personality, everyone who knows him knows that he actually knows his limits.
The reason why Charles doesn't like Chris always sticking around Lin Jiu is purely because of his lemon mentality.
After all, with Charles's personality, he would feel embarrassed to touch Lin Jiu without a reason.
Christie often made Charles laugh because of this.
Not to mention being fellow players and national heroes, they were still friends, even going through thick and thin together. Why would it be so hard for brothers to just give each other a shoulder? When Ivan was happy, he'd even give Lin Jiu a bear hug, and patting him on the shoulder and back was common.
But unlike Christie, Charles is a relatively traditional gentleman.
Maintaining elegance and appropriate distance in every gesture was part of Charles' education since childhood, and it became a habit over time.
Although Charles doesn't always put on airs of aristocratic etiquette, some habits are indeed hard to change.
In response, Christie said, then you can just stand by and be jealous.
