"What does the gentleman want me to do?"
Yin Dao, "Go check if those guys on the second basement level are acting strangely?"
Xie Erge wondered if the master suspected that among the others there were still those who had regained consciousness.
Thinking of this, she immediately went downstairs to check.
But how could that be?
Unless their mental strength is strong enough, such people are basically immune to mental attacks launched by others, but judging from their performance, this is clearly not the case.
So in the end, Yin was still referring to the fact that someone had helped them.
Suppressing his unease, Xie Erge returned to the second basement level.
Xin Ning had already returned to the basement level and headed straight for Lin Xi's room with a menacing air.
After pounding the door a few times, he shouted, "Open the door!"
But no one responded to her.
Xin Ning found it strange.
Could it be that he
Has she not returned after doing that bad thing? Is she still hiding on the second basement level?
Perhaps she felt guilty and didn't dare to open the door and confront him.
Thinking of this, Xin Ning sneered and kicked the door lock, breaking it. Sure enough, there was no one inside.
"I knew it! You bastard!" She gripped the doorframe and slammed it shut, gritting her teeth as she spoke.
Just then, another door opened, and Lin Xi poked her head out. "Hey, Sister Xin Ning?"
After saying hello, she came out.
He shook his door from side to side, looking somewhat puzzled.
"What's wrong with ours? Is the quality really that bad?"
Xin Ning's anger froze on her face. How could she be in someone else's room?
This shouldn't be happening!
No, even if she's next door right now, it doesn't mean she's cleared of suspicion.
She had plenty of time to finish everything, come back quietly, and then act as if nothing had happened.
"Where did you just go?"
Xin Ning questioned him sternly, his gaze now like a sharp dagger.
Lin Xi started to stammer, "I... just now..."
"Speak properly!"
Lin Xi shuddered, startled by her.
Xin Ning sneered, "Look! You can't say anything now."
"I think you don't need to say anything. Just go up and kneel down in front of the master to confess your sins."
Lin Xi's expression changed drastically. "Sister Xinning! No!"
"Hmph, now you know how to beg for mercy? Why didn't you think things through before you did this?"
Lin Xi looked guilty and lowered her head, stammering as she admitted her mistake, "I really know I was wrong, please forgive me this time, I promise it will never happen again."
Xin Ning's face remained unmoved, her tone icy as she judged a sinner, "Speak, what exactly is your purpose?"
"Huh?" Lin Xi's eyes darted around frantically before she finally spoke, "I just wanted to connect with my colleagues, is that wrong?"
"Building a relationship?" Xin Ning repeated her words, pondering them carefully. "Is this how you build a relationship? Does it require you to sabotage the surveillance? If you were honest and open, I might be more willing to believe you."
"Surveillance? What surveillance? Everyone knows the surveillance cameras here were damaged because of a fight between those two people. What does it have to do with me?" Lin Xi looked at Xin Ning with a wronged expression.
Xin Ning was almost amused by her words. "Even now, you're still pretending to be stupid and trying to argue with me. Third brother, since you've done such a thing, the master will definitely not let you off easily. You can just wait here to be taken away and put on trial!"
Lin Xi's face darkened further. "Sister Xin Ning, it's just a small mistake. Why are you making it sound like I'm going to die? I haven't lived enough yet."
"You think this is just a small mistake? You actually know Yun and the others, right?" Xin Ning didn't want to beat around the bush any longer, so she simply got straight to the point.
Lin Xi nodded truthfully, "Of course we know each other, don't you know us too? We joined the city guard team together, and then the military region together, of course we know each other."
"See, you've already admitted it yourself, and you still say you went into the villa for some ulterior motive."
"Huh? What does all this have to do with them? What does my mistake have to do with Yun?"
Xin Ning stared at Lin Xi, who looked completely bewildered, and was stunned again.
Is this person just pretending to be stupid or is she really stupid? Even after all this, she's still managing to confuse me.
"Okay, I'll make things clearer with you today. Did you go to the second basement level today?"
"Basement level two? Do they live on the second floor? No wonder I've never seen them before." Lin Xi said thoughtfully.
"Didn't you just explain everything clearly? Why are you pretending to be stupid now?"
"But what does my playing cards have to do with them?" Lin Xi asked with a sincere expression, her large, single-eyelid eyes wide open.
"Play...play cards?"
Lin Xi nodded, "Yes, Sister Xinning, I really know I was wrong. Besides, I haven't been here long, and I didn't know we couldn't play cards here!"
Xin Ning's expression froze...
She said, "Why is it so confusing?"
So they weren't talking about the same thing at all?
Xin Ning stood still, closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and spoke again, "Take me to see."
Having been caught red-handed, Lin Xi naturally looked completely honest and led her towards Yi Song's room.
Sure enough, a deck of cards was scattered haphazardly on the table.
Xin Ning also felt a sense of being blown away by the wind.
She forced herself to remain calm, walked over, picked up the playing cards on the table with two fingers, looked them over, and didn't find anything unusual.
"Yi Song, what happened?"
"Hehe, Xinning, we're just bored." Yi Song laughed brightly. "Look, it's raining outside, and we can't train now. We're just sitting in the room with nothing to do, so we thought we'd play some cards."
Xin Ning felt a throbbing sensation in her temples.
"How long has it been going on?"
"It seems like you've been playing non-stop since you came back, right?" Yi Song looked at Luo Yuge next to him.
Luo Yuge nodded. "Yes, after we got back, the third brother knocked on our door and said he wanted to play some games."
Yi Song was still a little guilty, so he lowered his voice and leaned close to Xin Ning's ear, "Xin Ning, is there really a rule here that forbids playing cards? Are you really going to die? Just give me a break and hand over Lao San, that should be enough..."
Upon hearing this, Xin Ning glared at him fiercely.
She threw down the cards in her hand, shouting, "Playing games is a waste of time!"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Lin Xi clung to the door, watching her go. "Sister Xin Ning, please don't tell on me this time. I promise I won't do it again!"
Xin Ning clenched her fists and closed her eyes again.
Idiot!
Brother Xie went directly to the second basement level for inspection.
This time, she was more cautious and used her mental power to carefully examine whether there were any abnormal energy fluctuations in the brains of the group.
Seeing this, Chen Jin nervously clenched his fists.
