Cheng Shuang's expression was somewhat indifferent.
She walked quickly, leaving everyone behind.
A mysterious and unpredictable storm was raging in her peach blossom eyes.
As he hurried into the house, in front of his companions who had followed closely behind, he suppressed all his negative emotions, smiled, and closed the door.
The men and women left outside looked at each other in bewilderment.
Du Lushu asked worriedly, "Are they both angry with me?"
"No!" Du Lanshan shook his head firmly, "There was no problem just now."
"Did you notice?" Du Jun stared at the closed door. "When Shuangshuang came back, her complexion was rosy and normal, but now she is deathly pale."
Liao Yuewei nodded in agreement, "Her steps have become much heavier."
Sun Han turned his head and asked her, "Are your steps heavy? What do you mean?"
"People who are skilled in martial arts are generally more agile than ordinary people, unless they rely on strength to win or are physically weak."
“Shuangshuang wasn’t in good health before.” Liu Juan frowned deeply and said worriedly, “Could it be… that she was injured in the Land of Death?”
"Did you notice?" Du Jun asked rhetorically, "This time, Shuangshuang didn't mention anything about replenishing our powder pills!"
Generally speaking, the first thing people do after returning to a convenience store and recovering is to organize their supplies and replenish their most frequently used items as soon as possible.
Cheng Shuang was afraid that her companions would be embarrassed to ask her for the used pills, so she would always ask them first. But today, she didn't mention it at all.
"Her skills are malfunctioning!" Sun Han suddenly exclaimed.
"I've heard that overuse of skills can cause negative buffs," Du Jun said in a deep voice. "Shuangshuang already has a visual mosaic effect, and if she was seriously injured in the previous Death Land..."
The group paused, realizing that the repairman skill was the root of the pill's power. If Cheng Shuang suffered a fatal injury, causing the repairman skill to become overwhelmed once again, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Liu Juan hurriedly took out all her pills, including the powder pills, and was about to knock on the door when Sun Han stopped her.
"This is not a simple matter!"
Du Lushu sighed, "If Shuangshuang wanted to tell us, she would never hide it! This child has always been sensible; she wouldn't tell us because she was afraid we would worry!"
"Too sensible!" Du Jun's cold voice carried a hint of helplessness. "Equally worrying!"
The group looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
Little did they know, the person they were worried about was leaning against the door, his heart churning with intense emotions.
Since you're my closest companion, why couldn't you guess that something was wrong with me?
I can't guess. Does that mean they don't care about me at all?
The little girl's face was deathly pale, and her sinister gaze would send chills down anyone's spine!
She thought a lot, recalling her childhood when she was sickly and left alone at home, watching enviously as children held hands and played together in the neighborhood after school. One unfamiliar child greeted her, but was pulled away by a neighbor's child. She remembered it very clearly: that neighbor's child warned all the children that she was a sickly little thing and that if she had an attack, they would be scolded by their parents.
She was very sad at the time, but she knew that what the children said was true, and she shouldn't blame anyone.
Why not blame them?
She clearly didn't want to!
Cheng Shuang's heart pounded heavily.
Will her companions also look down on her, because she is too young, or because she doesn't have the skills of a repairman and can't help them?
Frustrated and angry, the little girl slid to the ground, hugged her shoulders, and hid her head between her knees. One moment her mind was filled with relatives' words urging her parents to give up on her, and the next it was filled with her colleagues at the convenience store, all blaming her for being useless and a burden...
She covered her head, feeling weak in her limbs and her breathing becoming increasingly heavy. Finally, unable to bear the weight, her head tilted to the side, and she fell into a state similar to shock and sleep.
After taking a nap, Cheng Shuang woke up suddenly.
She touched her chest in a daze; the surging gloom and resentment had almost dissipated. Then she stretched her arms and legs, and the fatigue and weakness in her body also disappeared.
It's as if all the sorrow and anguish that weighed on my heart before sleep were just a dream.
Cheng Shuang's face was terribly gloomy.
It seems that the negative effects of being weak and sickly have had a great impact on her. She originally thought that she would return to normal after returning to the rest station, but unexpectedly, she would suddenly relapse and have an attack of her illness.
This can't be kept secret. If the next Gate of Reincarnation is a group ticket, and she can't control her emotions, she might very well do something to hurt others.
Cheng Shuang pushed open the door, intending to go to the store to tell them the truth about the problems she was facing, but she saw several people sitting or lying in the corners of the living room. They turned around as soon as they heard the door open.
She was about to ask why they didn't go back to their rooms to rest when she suddenly stopped, her voice trembling.
She recalled the scene before she entered the house and immediately bit her lip in shame. They must have been worried about her, which was why they were waiting for her as soon as she appeared in the closest place.
"I……"
"Shuangshuang, it's okay, don't talk about it if you don't want to. Be good!" Liu Juan suddenly spoke up. She walked over, took the little girl's hand, and put a small bottle in her hand.
Then Du Lanshan, Sun Han, and Du Jun each slipped something into her hand.
Cheng Shuang blinked blankly, then opened each bottle one by one. Inside were about ten small white and green pills.
The little girl's palms were burning hot. She had the support of pink pills. Generally speaking, she rarely had the opportunity to use white pills to heal injuries or green pills to repair her mental energy. Even so, she only had about ten white and green pills saved up.
Immediately afterwards, Liao Yuwei handed her two weapon cards made using skills.
"Shuangshuang, Uncle Du died once, and he didn't even leave behind his pills and cards. Fortunately, the supplies in his spatial storage were intact, so I'll give you this for self-defense." He took out a green beer bottle-sized container, the transparent solution inside of which was sparkling.
"Good lad, you managed to get this thing over here?!" Du Lanshan exclaimed, about to take it for a closer look, but Du Lushui dodged him and shoved the bottle directly into Cheng Shuang's arms without giving him a chance to refuse.
"The special feature of the maze is that many people get trapped as soon as they go in," Du Lanshan said enthusiastically. "It's a transparent mud that blends in with the color of the ground. If even one foot falls in, it's hard to climb out. Unfortunately, no bottle, no matter what material it is, can hold it and take it away, because as soon as you touch it, you'll get stuck."
“I have a Treasure Bottle Card,” Du Lushui explained. “It can hold all types of liquids. After the card was activated and placed in the spatial slot, I don’t know if it was because it contained something, but it wasn’t taken away by the Gate of Reincarnation.”
The dazed Cheng Shuang finally came to her senses. She hurriedly tried to return the things in her arms to everyone, but saw that everyone took a few steps back in unison, their faces clearly showing their refusal to take them back.
"No, you've misunderstood!" The little girl's delicate and sickly nature had completely vanished; her heart was filled with emotion, and tears welled up in her eyes.
