Realizing his mistake, Feng Jiakang didn't hesitate for a second, slapping his mouth twice as he laughed sheepishly. "Look at my mouth! I misunderstood, don't be angry, haha, everyone, don't be angry. Hey buddy, stop shaking your pectoral muscles, I know I'm not as big as you. And you little buddy, stop faking your smile, it's creepy. Let's not fight amongst ourselves, we're all good young men, it's a misunderstanding!" He turned to Cheng Shuang, bowing shyly, "Little Shuang, it's my fault, please forgive me, okay?"
That fawning face... Tsk tsk... April facepalmed. If it weren't for the fact that this kid genuinely didn't have any bad intentions, just a slightly dim-witted look, she really wouldn't want to admit that he was a member of their rest station. Fortunately, although this kid was a bit lazy, a bit clumsy, and a bit of a jerk, he never shirked his responsibilities, and he would never betray them.
At times like these, it's not easy to find a reliable partner, so what more could you ask for!
In April, he also got up and apologized, and the three grown men immediately looked at Cheng Shuang.
The little girl was actually a bit confused. She didn't understand at all and was even speechless. Knowing that someone was spying on her, why was he so happy? But when she saw the three uncles step in to protect her, the little girl felt a warm glow in her heart. She waved her little hand and scolded, "Don't be so mean. Be careful you don't suffer for it later. I'll listen to my uncles. If they say it's okay, I'll forgive you!"
Seeing that Cheng Shuang didn't intend to dwell on the matter, April seized the opportunity to speak up, "Time is running out. This kid knows he was wrong. I think we should continue our discussion?"
The three men noticed that the girl seemed confused and decided it was best to end the conversation there. After all, she had sincerely apologized and it wasn't intentional, so there was no need to keep pressing the issue.
Sun Han nodded, "Then let's continue!" He looked at Feng Jiakang, "Are you really the type who doesn't move when you sleep?"
Only then did Feng Jiakang realize the implication of Cheng Shuang's words, and his face turned pale. "No, no! I was having so much fun performing the moves! And why would Xiao Shuang have seen it? I clearly checked!"
Du Lushu asked in surprise, "You don't know about the one-way mirror?"
"So it's a one-way mirror?" Feng Jiakang and Du Lanshan said in unison.
"You don't know either?" Du Lushu looked at her brother, who looked like he had just realized something, wiped her face, and had mixed feelings. "Then why did you insist on making me sleep on the outside terrace at night?"
"I just feel like this bedroom is like a dead person's place, no windows, no ventilation." Du Lanshan was a little awkward at first, but he straightened up and held his head high as he spoke. "Besides, I'm proving to the world that I'm not the kind of man who would do anything for a woman!"
Brother, who are you trying to prove this to? The living people are all in the real world, okay? Why would exiles care about your trivial matters that aren't even worthy of serious consideration? They're not just bored and have nothing better to do.
Du Lushui remained silent.
Feng Jiakang, sitting in the main seat, shuddered with relief. Luckily, he had no way to contact the organization; otherwise, they would have been wiped out. He didn't want to be a traitor to his teammates, not even unintentionally. Thinking this, he gave April a fawning smile!
In April, she turned her head and looked at Du Lushui. The two of them sighed deeply at the same time.
What can you do if it's your own teammate (your brother)? Just go back and pack your things!
Cheng Shuang didn't understand why the topic had veered off course again. She raised her little hand eagerly, but when she saw all the adults looking at her, she instinctively stood up straight and answered loudly, "I know why we have to please the VIPs! It's to make the VIPs eat more food and accumulate enough freezing properties in their bodies so they can be slaughtered at will! And whoever the VIPs 'befriend' has a greater chance of getting the pelt!"
Feng Jiakang: No, just say it, why are you looking at me so excitedly?
Shuangshuang: I'm so happy! I answered correctly! I'm the best kid!
"You both did a very good job on the investigation!" Sun Han coughed lightly, offering a word of praise to encourage her. The little girl's eyes sparkled like stars as she sat back in her seat, even happier!
April chuckled. The atmosphere was tense, but this little guy made it all go away, which was actually quite nice!
"Oh right, besides the Soul-Stabilizing Artifact, there's also the Spirit-Devouring Water." Du Lushu realized the crucial issue and looked at Cheng Shuang, "Shuangshuang, you mentioned that the Spirit-Devouring Water harmed the mechanical beasts and guards, right?"
Cheng Shuang nodded in agreement. She took out the soda bottle directly. Since it was an empty bottle without a cap, it wasn't easy to preserve. She decided to show everyone the effect now.
Seeing the little girl looking at the exiles lying on the ground and then at them, the adults immediately understood what she was thinking.
Du Lanshan walked over, took the bottle, and said to her, "I'll do it, don't come any closer." After all, the little girl had only used a small amount when she experimented on her own, and who knew if adding a large amount would cause any accidents.
In April, several earmuffs were used to plug the ears of the people who had fainted on the ground and those who were busy preparing delicious food in the storeroom, so as not to wake them up from the noise.
Cheng Shuang immediately cooperated by taking out some tape and handing it to Du Lushui and Sun Han, letting the two of them tear off the tape to cover their mouths.
"Who are you going to take care of?" Du Lanshan asked, his gaze sweeping over them.
“Take care of Tian Sanlang! Help me get rid of one, I’m really fed up with him!” Feng Jiakang suggested.
The little girl frowned. "Tian Sanlang is dying. He's the one who's most in need of help and the easiest to manage. Uncle Feng, why not Fang Niang? According to their internal ranking, Fang Niang is more important to you than Tian Sanlang!"
Feng Jiakang scratched his face, looking very troubled. How could he explain things in a way that would make a child understand what an adult was thinking?
“You should understand that showing pity and tenderness to women is not advisable; the person beneath the surface may not necessarily be a beauty!” Sun Han said meaningfully.
"Ha, it doesn't necessarily have to be a woman." April delivered a blow to the soul.
Cheng Shuang nodded frantically, "Not a woman, Fang Niang is a man, I can vouch for that!"
Feng Jiakang's face turned ashen instantly, and his limbs went weak as he turned and ran toward the bathroom, where he heard a series of vomiting sounds coming from inside.
The three men, feeling a sense of shared experience, exchanged glances. Well, at least their lips had touched!
Fang Niang was unfortunately selected in the end. The group moved her to the bathroom, which had better soundproofing. Cheng Shuang and Si Yue guarded the exiles outside. Feng Jiakang, furious, volunteered to carry out the execution. However, he made too much of a move and accidentally splashed most of the bottle of Spirit-Devouring Water on Fang Niang's face.
Fortunately, the door was closed; the muffled groans of extreme pain were almost unbearable for the men.
Feng Jiakang was so frightened that he dropped the bottle. His face turned pale, and he turned his head away, unable to bear looking at him.
Like sulfuric acid, it hisses and burns the flesh; rotten chunks of flesh dissolve instantly upon hitting the ground, colorless and odorless.
The facial bones peeled away little by little until the whole body turned into a pool of human-shaped watermark, with only the light blue clothes perfectly covering a pale green phantom.
The phantom had a ferocious expression, and its features were quite different from those of a human, with beady eyes, a narrow nose, and a slit-like mouth. It roared silently at the crowd in pain and anger, its gaping mouth split into two forks like a snake's tongue, with two rows of tiny, rice-grain-sized sharp teeth, making it strange and indescribably ugly.
Sun Han suddenly realized what was happening and saw it leap into the air. He immediately shouted, "Catch it!"
