Little Mink was startled when he saw Li Jia's outstretched hand. He asked cautiously, "I'll pull you up here, and then kick you out!"
Li Jia's words made Xiao Diao quickly shake his head, "No need, I'll leave by myself! Just you wait, I'll definitely make my idol come and get revenge on you!"
After speaking, Xiao Diao put her shoes back on. Her wet body accentuated her petite and delicate figure.
"First mission?" Li Jia asked casually after seeing Xiao Diao come up.
"How did you know?" Xiao Diao's answer was exactly what Li Jia had guessed. A rookie who wasn't on his first mission wouldn't have made so many mistakes.
“You’re not suited for this line of work. Go back to your studies! Tell Lina to live a good life and not to have any contact with her past.” After saying that, Li Jia went to the bathroom, grabbed a white bath towel, and threw it to Xiao Diao. “Dry yourself off. Once you’re dry, leave here immediately. Go back to where you came from.”
Xiao Diao was puzzled by Li Jia's reaction. "He seems to have changed a bit since he learned about Sister Lina. Could he be one of Sister Lina's former partners? Does he know anything about my idol? No, I have to ask!"
With that thought in mind, Xiao Diao approached Li Jia, wiping the water droplets from her skirt as she stared at Li Jia and asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
"What's the problem? Just say it. You only have two minutes. I need to sleep!" Li Jia looked at this clueless newbie. "I can't figure out why Lina let me out. Has she been watching me all along? Could it be that Lina also went to China? Or even to City B?" One question after another popped into Li Jia's mind until Xiao Diao spoke, interrupting his thoughts.
"Do you know the God? Do you know anything about him?" Xiao Diao's question made Li Jia shake her head helplessly. "I don't know, I don't know him. Okay, it's time for you to go. Remember what I said. By the way, where is your sister Lina now?" Li Jia suddenly remembered and asked casually as she pulled Xiao Diao's arm to the door.
"No comment! Lina told me not to say, but do you really not know Shenren? That legendary assassin, the god of assassins! He's our idol! Hey! Hey! Do you know him or not?" Before Xiao Diao could finish her question, Li Jia had already thrown her out of the room, then closed the door, leaving Xiao Diao shouting loudly outside.
Li Jia held the pill he called Snake's Fragrance in his room, and his mind could no longer be contained; long-buried memories surged forth like a tide.
It was a vast ocean, with wave after wave rolling in. A somewhat frail figure floated stubbornly up and down in the waves. Suddenly, a two-meter-high wave overturned the figure who was struggling to paddle, and then another huge wave completely submerged the figure in the sea...
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Just then, a soft knock came from outside the door, and Xiaoyue asked with concern.
Li Jia then snapped out of that deep-seated memory, got up and opened the door. "Nothing's wrong, you newbie, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Can't sleep, hehe. By the way, when are we leaving tomorrow?" Xiaoyue made a face at Li Jia, then sat on the sofa in the room, stretched comfortably, and yawned as she spoke.
Just as Li Jia was about to speak, her phone, which was lying to the side, beeped with the sound of receiving a text message. After reading the message, Li Jia turned back and smiled as she replied to Xiao Yue, "We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning!"
