◎The scene of the exposure◎
There may be two leaves that are very similar in this world, but there can never be two leaves that are exactly the same.
Xia Li just stood low, raised her head, and stared carefully at the man standing on the platform made of iron frame.
He stood tall and straight, with gentle features. At first glance, he exuded a gentle and approachable aura, but beneath his neatly tailored navy-blue military uniform, he seemed to be shrouded in a solemn and dignified aura.
The noisy people in the audience shut up after hearing what he said.
Whether on his chest or on his arm, the badges with gold borders all highlight his inviolable identity - the first general of the Tost Star Defense Department - Baili Huaixi.
Baili Xi, Baili Huai Xi.
He is actually that famous general? !
Xia Li was slightly shocked. She glanced to the side and saw a thin man in the audience who also caught her attention.
The thin man gestured to Baili Xi, Baili Xi nodded slightly, comforted everyone with a few words, then stepped down from the iron platform and walked to the thin man.
The man just now had his back to her, so Xia Li didn't see his face clearly. When he adjusted his position and walked sideways to Baili Xi's left, Xia Li found out who he was at a glance - Steamed Fish!
Baili Xi at least pinched his face when he entered the game so that no one could see through him in the game, but Qingzhengyu had not disguised himself at all.
If she had to point out any differences from the game, Xia Li thought it was probably that he slightly widened the shoulders and thickened the character's chest and back when he entered the game, making his body look stronger in the game than in reality.
But faces don't lie. Xia Li was very sure that the two people walking and whispering under the stage were the president and vice president of Fengyun Tianxia.
"Mom, I'm so hungry..." A child's voice came softly.
"Be good, bear with it a little longer, we'll get the nutrient solution the day after tomorrow."
Beside him, the woman holding the little girl's hand was squatting down, touching the child's thin cheek lovingly, and comforting the girl softly.
Xia Li glanced at the girl. She was so thin that she was unrecognizable. It was obvious that she had been malnourished for a long time.
She had been hungry like this before, and she knew the feeling of an empty stomach very well.
"Here, take it." Xia Li took out a tube of nutrient solution from her pocket and put it into the woman's hand.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked at her with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "But you..."
"I have more at home." Xia Li said and squeezed out of the crowd.
"Thank you, big sister!"
A little girl's clear laughter came from behind my ears.
The girl's voice was so sharp and thin that it immediately caught the attention of Baili Xi and Qing Zhengyu. They turned around to look at the girl, and then looked at Xia Li who was not far away from the girl.
Xia Li immediately lowered her head to hide her face. Baili Xi and Qing Zhengyu didn't see her appearance and quickly looked away.
Almost the same as the steamed fish, she did not customize her face when registering her character, but chose to stick with her original appearance.
She has a cool and aloof appearance, with fair skin, and her eyebrows and eyes are slightly deep and a bit aggressive.
This kind of appearance is actually not very popular among boys. I remember that when she created a character with Feixue in her previous life, Feixue suggested that she change her face to be more cute, or to make it look like a gentle older sister.
Xia Li refused.
She was born for herself and lived for herself. Why should she change her appearance to please a man?
On this side, seeing Baili Xi and the steamed fish hurriedly leaving the scene, Xia Li hurriedly followed them.
The two of them walked quickly in front, and Xia Li followed quietly behind.
After turning a barbed wire fence, passing through a small path, and entering the Rhodes factory, the two men stopped.
Xia Li also stopped immediately and pressed her body tightly against the wall.
"Have you found out?" It was Baili Xi's voice.
"We've investigated. It's a star beast from the Blue Sky Star Region," Qingzhengyu replied. "It caused the mechanical failure. Also..."
The steamed fish paused.
"What else?" Baili Xi asked him.
"In addition, three human corpses were found in its stomach. Both the star beast and the human corpses have been sent back to the military research institute. The detection department is also tracking the star beast's trajectory to Planet Tost."
A human corpse? Xia Li frowned.
Regularly expelling the star beasts near the star Tost is also one of the military's daily tasks. At present, Baili Xi and his team not only failed to find the star beast hiding in the Rhodes factory, but also gave it the opportunity to eat three humans. If the citizens knew about it, it would definitely cause great panic on the planet.
This situation seemed to have happened in her previous life, but at that time she was completely focused on the game and was completely oblivious to what was happening outside, so she didn't know much.
Baili Xi was silent for a moment, then said after a while, "Seal the news and don't let it reach the ears of the District A government. Also, dispatch a new batch of machines and replenish the remaining nutrient solution on time. Finally..."
Baili Xi paused and said, "Remember to verify the identities of those three people and send the condolence money to their families."
"Yes, General Baili."
Compared to his in-game persona, Baili Xi in real life is far more dignified and composed, his words radiating an unquestionable firmness. The same goes for Steamed Fish, who has shed his playful, joking persona from the game and is now quite serious and measured.
The two were silent for a moment. Suddenly, Baili Xi tutted his words and said, "It would be great if you followed the rules in the game, Adjutant Yu."
The tone seemed to mock the steamed fish's pretense of seriousness.
Qingzhengyu's steps paused noticeably, and he immediately shouted, "Humph, I finally understand why Baili Huaiguo didn't dare to talk to you face to face before."
"Why?"
"Because you're so fierce and rigid!" Qing Zhengyu didn't care at all that the man in front of him had a higher military rank than him. He kept talking, "He's your cousin who grew up with you, but every time he sees you, he avoids you and is terrified of you."
Baili Xi's figure swayed in the light: "Is he afraid of me?"
"Huh? You don't know yet?"
"Tsk, back when we were in the military academy, he'd always mentioned you. He was both admiring and timid about you. He admired you because you were a general at such a young age, commanding wars, and were his role model. He was timid because every time he saw you at school, he was intimidated by your stern face. He wanted to talk to you, but he was afraid of wasting your time and making you angry. But if he didn't say hello, it seemed unreasonable since we were from the same family. Don't you think you're being a derelict in your duty as a cousin?"
The amount of information suddenly became overwhelming. Xia Li leaned against the wall, her eyes wide open, as if digesting the inside story she had just heard.
So Baili Huaiguo is Baiguo? And he's also the cousin of General Baili Huaixi?
So, Qingzhengyu is Baili Huaixi's adjutant? And also Baiguo's schoolmate and good brother?
Wait, Baili Huaixi’s adjutant’s surname is Yu, what’s his name?
Unfortunately, she couldn't remember anything except the game, so she really couldn't remember anything at all.
However, that was not all. Xia Li was shocked again by what she said about the steamed fish.
"By the way, Yu Ziteng just sent me a message saying that they've found the cause of the power outage in Area C."
"Is it also a star beast?" Baili Xi asked.
"Yeah," Qingzhengyu nodded as he flipped through the news. "But she and Baiguo both took action to deal with it. Luckily, the star beast didn't hurt anyone, and now it's been tied up and dragged into the laboratory."
"Yeah," Baili Xi replied solemnly. After a while, he suddenly said, "If your sister knew you called her by her full name behind her back, do you think she would beat you to death?"
Steamed fish: (,,#゜Д゜)! I let it slip!
On the way back to the slums, Xia Li finally found out the name of Baili Xi's adjutant from the complicated memories of her previous life - Yu Zhengqing.
Yu Zhengqing, Yu Zhengqing, if read the other way around, isn’t it steamed fish?
He also has an older sister named Yu Zi Teng, who is also the mage Zi Teng who is famous in the guild for her curvy figure.
No wonder I saw Zi Teng was always rude to the steamed fish before, it turns out there is this relationship.
Xia Li walked home while reminiscing about the past. When she was almost home, she found that there were a lot of people gathered at the door of her neighbor's house, blocking her door so tightly that no one could get in.
"Please make way, thank you."
It was probably another young lady next door who slept with someone's man, which attracted the gossip of people both known and unknown. Xia Li was already accustomed to the trivial matters of this neighbor next door. She reached into the crowd with both hands and kept pushing them to the sides.
But there were too many people watching the fun today. She squeezed in two layers but still couldn't reach her door.
"Oh, how pitiful, there is only one son left in the family."
"I heard that when Linlin got into trouble, her son was still playing games in that warehouse?"
"That's right! I heard that she went to the factory to deliver something, but was eaten by a star beast hidden in the factory! Uncle De, who watched her grow up, happened to be in the workshop next door. After seeing what happened, he hurried back to inform her son."
"Oh, by the way, I just went to the Rhodes factory and I think I saw her son. I wanted to call him, but I forgot his name. With my poor memory, what was his name?"
"It seems his last name is Tang."
At this time, Xia Li had already squeezed to the door of her house. She took out the key and inserted it into the keyhole.
"Oh yeah, I remember now! Her son's name is Tang Poxiao!"
Xia Li's hand suddenly trembled.
