Chapter 128 Is this your plan?
Lilith paused for a moment. Due to the intensive treatment, she could still recall the feeling of being on the verge of losing control last night.
The itch clinging to her skin was like wet popping candy, making her tremble all over.
A lot of terrible things suddenly flooded into my mind: the body that was too close, the meaningless breathing, and the bitten fingertips...
She pinched her fingers gently and thought,
Has Si Jue fully recovered? The sentry's body is really strong. He looked so pitiful yesterday.
But, do I have to go on a mission just when I’m getting better?
Lilith didn't look away. After all, her eyes couldn't be seen through the helmet. She noticed that Si Jue only glanced at her lightly and quickly, as if he were looking at a stranger.
"call……"
It seemed that they didn't recognize her. Lilith breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the meeting place naturally. When she passed by, Will pointed at her with a smile.
"You were so frightening yesterday. All the guides from the entire base came to treat you, but you rejected them all. Well, I even asked the precious guide from the exploration team to treat you, but unfortunately, it failed."
"Luckily, your passion came and went quickly. After you recovered, your body recovered quickly. Otherwise, I would have been in trouble."
Lilith nodded to the two of them naturally without saying anything. As she passed by them, she heard Si Jue's obedient and gentle words coming from behind.
"Thank you for your concern, Captain. I didn't expect to be in danger. I will be more careful next time."
So, they all thought that the sentinels had strong recovery abilities? Yes, Si Jue was just seriously injured and in a passionate period. Under normal circumstances, the head injury would only make him unconscious for two days.
Lilith didn't think any more and walked silently to the center of the exploration team and followed them into the "cube".
Not until all the members of the exploration team disappeared did Si Jue let his gaze fall on the empty space. Wei Er stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.
"Come back to your senses. What are you looking at so seriously? I mean, are you doing this on purpose?"
He lowered his voice when he said the last sentence, and the frivolous expression on his face became a little darker.
There was no one around, so Will no longer had to maintain his romantic image. He crossed his arms and glanced at the silver-haired boy.
"You've noticed something's wrong with that equipment a long time ago, right? That's why you switched with Qi Hanxing. And you got hurt on purpose, right? Just to make a big deal out of it and get Professor Xie's attention, right?"
The smile on Wei Er's lips had completely disappeared, and he stared at Si Jue gloomily.
"You were just pretending to be sick because you didn't want to be discovered. By the time Professor Xie sent someone to question me and I promised to protect the new recruits, you were already well. This was all your plan!"
The aura of the sentinel bathed in death was extremely dangerous, but Si Jue did not feel afraid.
He smiled, but this smile no longer seemed harmless, but rather a kind of knowing provocation.
"You're overthinking it, Captain Weir. I'm just a new recruit. How could I possibly think of threatening you? I just think that as a new recruit, I should get along well with the captain."
Si Jue bit his teeth lightly, his sharp fangs brushing against the soft flesh of his lips, as if he had remembered something interesting.
"Besides, I'm Professor Xie's student, so it's normal for him to ask me about my injuries. By the way, I think you've been in the contaminated area for too long and don't know the term 'Imperial Idol'."
He said meaningfully,
"Qi Hanxing's fans include many heirs of noble families. If he died here... ah, that would be too bad."
The captain of the elimination team's expression changed, but soon returned to his original smiling face, and put his arm around Si Jue's shoulder in a good-natured manner.
"Well, to celebrate your recovery, we have to make up for the late welcome ceremony for the new recruits. Bring your friends along."
…
Ranch, who was supposed to take Lilith with him, hid far away because of the "offense" last time and dared not get close. Jayne was too jumpy and not suitable to protect the guide.
Shen Jiaxu... well, she didn't dare to get close to him now. Even though she had cleaned herself up from inside to outside, Lilith still felt a little guilty.
So she chose to sit on Robbins' brown bear arm. The two-meter-tall beast allowed her to sit steadily and her vision became wider.
It was her first time to "ride" such a large spiritual body. It was like being held up by a giant. It was a bit strange. She just moved a little and felt her legs tremble as if they were electrocuted.
After a night, her strength still didn't seem to recover. Lilith thought expressionlessly, and had already cursed Si Jue eight hundred times in her heart.
"R~ You seem a little absent-minded today?"
Shen Jiaxu didn't stay in his position properly, but wandered near the captain. Robbins glanced at him and didn't stop him.
The chestnut-haired boy still looks like a beautiful decoration in the polluted area. His every move, every frown and every smile makes people feel gentle and comfortable.
But Lilith still stood straight and replied coldly,
"Yeah?"
"Yes, I can feel it. R doesn't want to talk today, and his throat is a little hoarse. Is he catching a cold? Or..."
He suddenly moved closer, trying to distinguish the vague smell, but the brown bear's height made it difficult for him to reach it.
"If you know you have a cold, stay away from me. I don't want to infect others."
At this moment, Lilith was glad that she had chosen Robbins. The brown bear's own scent could cover up her own scent, and Robbins, as the leader of the exploration team, would not talk about the guide's scent without authorization.
Shen Jiaxu couldn't find anything unusual and could only shake his head helplessly.
"Okay, okay, actually my spirit body is much more comfortable sitting than the captain. Are you really not going to consider it?"
"don't want……"
Lilith flatly refused, and the silent Robbins spoke up at the right time.
"Shen Jiaxu, go back to your seat and don't harass the guide."
"Okay, okay, but Captain, you can't eat alone. I'll be sad."
He spoke in a half-truthful manner, his eyes flickering as he glanced over the tightly covered helmet.
The exploration of the contaminated area has changed direction, which is closer to the source of the pollution. The exploration team has lost nearly 50 people here and later had to give up and turn to explore other places first.
Now, with a guide who has the power of purification, Robbins decided to go deeper.
"Hold on to the brown bear's neck, R. If you encounter irresistible danger, please abandon us immediately and let it take you away."
