Qi Jiu was dressed casually today. Her fitted top was a bit short, revealing her slender waist when she stretched out her arms, and she wore baggy cargo pants.
This outfit really brought out her personality and features.
The exquisite mask on her face only revealed her dark eyes.
Near the helicopter were people who had been waiting for a long time. They were dressed in black, tall, and muscular, and looked like they came from a completely different world from Qi Jiu.
The girl looked so small in front of them.
"You're from The Matrix, aren't you?"
The leading male figure was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a muscular physique and dark skin that made him look somewhat fierce. At that moment, he was trying hard to force a smile.
It looks a bit strange.
"..."
The girl nodded without saying a word.
"I am Luo An, the deputy of Death Gate Island. Our boss is away on business and has not returned yet. I'm sorry that I have to come to pick you up."
Luo An looked at her, a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
He knew that this explanation might mislead the man into thinking it was a show of force from Death Gate Island, but... the boss really wasn't there.
"It's alright. According to the mission, I'm here to teach you, not to teach your island lord. Whether he's here or not is irrelevant."
The girl waved her hand dismissively, and with the vibration of her vocal cords, a mechanical voice slowly emerged.
Luo An: "..." You're really carefree.
If it were someone else, they would probably have a lot of ulterior motives in mind.
Having just arrived on Death Gate Island, she was introduced to her lodgings by Luo An. The island's owner was very generous, preparing a one-bedroom apartment for her alone, which was beautifully decorated.
It has everything you could need, just like an apartment.
In this place filled with forests and fraught with danger, it's quite rare to find a place like this. The treatment is probably no worse than what the island owner receives.
Since it was the first day, Qi Jiu didn't take up her post immediately. Instead, she wandered around Death Gate Island to familiarize herself with the environment.
The terrain is somewhat similar to the uninhabited island she owns, with forests everywhere and plenty of dangerous animals to be seen. Every inch of the land is used very efficiently.
The mercenaries on the island were lined up in different teams, undergoing various training exercises in different environments. A chilling atmosphere permeated the air.
It wasn't until nightfall that the lights came on in the high-rise buildings in the middle of the island.
"The people from The Matrix are here?" Qi Silin, dressed in a trench coat, looked slightly tired.
Luo An nodded. "I'm here. I arrived this afternoon."
Chongyu lay sprawled on the sofa, her face utterly exhausted. "She didn't say anything while we were gone, did she?"
Logically, when guests arrive, the hosts should personally greet them, but they really can't leave.
“No.” Luo An shook his head, his expression subtle. “He didn’t even mention it.”
Chongyu: "..." Very good, this is very much like The Matrix.
Qi Silin rubbed his temples. "Is it N? The best technology in The Matrix must be N."
It would cost a lot of money afterward, and he didn't want to hire someone who was nobody.
"I don't know. She didn't reveal her family background. She just toured our Dead Gate Island all afternoon like she was visiting her own backyard."
Qi Silin: "..."
Chongyu: "..."
She's definitely not out of the running.
"Master, do you want to go and take a look? She's probably still wandering around outside."
Their Dead Gate Island is so big, it's definitely impossible to see it all in half a day. Besides, she doesn't have any means of transportation, and her physical fitness isn't as good as theirs as the mercenaries'. She'll probably get tired after walking for a while.
Qi Silin shook his head. "No, tomorrow."
Since it's only for one night, and she hasn't shown up all afternoon, there's no need to rush to make her presence known anymore.
The next day, before the sun had even illuminated the entire island, Qi Jiu had already woken up.
As soon as she opened the door, her attention was drawn to something at the entrance.
It was breakfast and a letter.
The sandwich was neatly wrapped, and the milk next to it was still warm, indicating that it had just been placed at the door.
The girl took the things back to her room, ignoring the sandwich and milk, and went straight to opening the envelope.
It was handwritten.
The handwriting is strong and vigorous, and very unrestrained.
In just a few seconds, she had read through the entire contents of the letter.
There's only one goal: to start working today. The owner of Death Gate Island will also make an appearance today.
As time passed, the sandwiches on the plate were gone, and the milk was gone too. Almost instinctively, she put the silver mask on the table on her face.
As soon as the door opened, Luo An, who had been waiting nearby, came to greet him.
"Did you get enough rest?"
"not bad."
The two walked side by side, with Luo An doing most of the talking. As they talked, they arrived in front of a tall building.
Not far away, three figures stood.
As the distance closed, the outlines of the three figures became clearer and clearer.
Qi Jiu paused, her dark eyes flickering slightly as she looked at the tall figure in the center. But she quickly recovered and followed Luo An, striding towards the figure in front.
Chongyu remained as carefree as ever; even wearing a suit couldn't hide his irreverent attitude.
"N? You're N? I didn't expect you to be a young girl."
Although Chongyu made some teasing remarks, his expression towards her was inexplicably complicated, and his eyes even held a hint of scrutiny.
Not only him, but Qi Silin's expression was also somewhat intriguing, his eyes slightly narrowed, revealing no emotion in his dark eyes.
That figure... why does it feel somewhat familiar?
"Looking down on young girls?"
The mechanical voice slowly emerged, and anyone with a brain in the room would understand that she was using a voice changer.
Chongyu was taken aback, not expecting N to retort so bluntly, "No, that's not what I meant, I was just praising you."
Beneath the mask, a faint smile played at the corners of her lips.
"Thank you for your praise. After all, what your entire Death Gate Island couldn't accomplish, I, a young girl, could do with ease. I accept your compliment."
Qi Silin: "..."
Liuguang: "..."
Chongyu: "..."
Holy crap, this ruthless way of roasting people feels so familiar...
Chongyu wanted to say something more, but Qi Silin stopped him.
"You're N, right?"
The man's dark eyes stared at her intently, a cold glint in them, but as time passed, the sense of familiarity he felt towards her eyes grew stronger.
Because the other person's eyes resembled those of someone he knew; both were very beautiful.
