79 She is very satisfied with her human
◎Same purpose◎
Li Yiqing in front of him seemed to have not expected Qi Qiuxue to put these words openly. He paused, a brief flash of surprise in his eyes.
Qi Qiuxue caught this fleeting emotion. Perhaps influenced by her words, Li Yiqing looked a little serious and solemn at this moment.
She actually rarely makes such an expression, which makes her look a little unlike herself.
Or rather, not like the person she appears to be.
But Qi Qiuxue knew that perhaps the current Li Yiqing was her true self. A person who deliberately changed her personality and habits and deliberately approached others in a different guise was suspicious just thinking about it, and it was inevitable that people would doubt the purpose behind her.
But she declared that she didn't want anything, and the only two things she wanted to do were to protect and be close to him.
How can there be such selfless people in this world?
The more she acted like this, the more Qi Qiuxue wanted to take off her mask.
"Say something?" Qi Qiuxue looked at the person in front of her with a smile in her eyes. Outside, there was a howling wind and snowstorm. Water vapor swirled around the window, covering up the only medium through which the outside world could be seen in the room. It seemed like a small world of its own.
The two looked at each other in silence and a slightly chilling warmth, as if trying to read something from each other's eyes, playing a silent game of chess.
After a while, Li Yiqing was defeated.
"Axue." She lay down again, wrapped in a cold air and returned to the quilt, which made Qi Qiuxue feel chilled by the cold air and slowly frowned.
Li Yiqing raised his hand and carefully smoothed the frown between Qi Qiuxue's eyebrows, saying softly, "You're really suited to this game."
"You're the best player in my heart," she said sincerely, her voice not as bright and clear as usual, but rather a little deeper. "Your ability, thinking, wisdom, and courage are unmatched by anyone else."
"I'm looking forward to the day when you can see through me completely." She briefly took off her disguise in front of her. There was no longer any so-called panic and surprise in her eyes, or any emotions that should be there when a secret is discovered. There was only appreciation and calmness.
She is very happy with her humans.
"Li Yiqing." Qi Qiuxue opened her lips and wanted to say something else, but Li Yiqing's gesture of stroking her brow was so gentle that she gradually felt sleepy.
"It's time to rest." Before she fell asleep, she heard Li Yiqing whisper this.
-
This sleep was not sound, or rather, Qi Qiuxue had hardly had a good sleep since entering the game.
There are too many dangers in the copy. If you let your guard down, you may lose your life accidentally. Qi Qiuxue is used to repeatedly flashing back in her mind what happened and the clues she got, so as to dig out any missed information.
This habit has even become an instinct, even in dreams. Qi Qiuxue dreamed of a scene that happened not long ago: snowy day, footprints, injured Dabu, and his tattered clothes soaked in snow.
Something is wrong.
Qi Qiuxue frowned, her gaze wandering in the hazy dream, looking at the NPCs coming and going and talking to each other, looking at Luosang who was carefully applying medicine, and looking at Dabu who was crying bitterly.
She looked at Dabu from head to toe, finally stopping at the shoes on his feet.
They were a pair of high-brand hiking boots that, although worn, still looked about 70% to 80% new. Neither the style nor the condition of the boots looked like they belonged to Dabu, or even to any other local villager.
When she first arrived in the village of Buge, Qi Qiuxue had already walked around the village. The villagers were dressed very simply. Not only their clothes, but even their shoes were basically sewn by themselves.
Maybe the shoes on Dabu's feet were obtained from a tourist, but since the climate has become increasingly severe, there have been no tourists visiting here. How can a pair of hiking boots that have been left for so many years and have not been taken care of look so new?
The only possibility is that those aren't Dabu's shoes.
Who replaced it, and when? If her theory was correct, who left those footprints in the snow that stretched far into the distance?
Qi Qiuxue woke up from her dream with a chill down her spine.
She didn't know when she fell asleep, and she had no intention of thinking about what happened before she went to sleep. The dim light in the room went out at some point, and it became completely dark all around. There was silence in her ears, but the harsh sound of wind and snow was still whistling outside the window.
But if you listen carefully, there seems to be some other noises mixed in with these sounds.
There were struggles, whispers and footsteps.
"Aqing." Qi Qiuxue had a bad feeling, so she raised her hand and silently woke up Li Yiqing beside her.
"What's wrong, Axue?" Li Yiqing woke up in a daze, and seemed to have returned to his previous appearance. He asked her sleepily, "What happened?"
Inexplicably, even though time was running out, Qi Qiuxue was still speechless for a moment about what she did.
It was also installed again.
"Get up, something happened outside." Qi Qiuxue didn't have time to talk nonsense with her. She reacted as quickly as possible, climbed out of the bed quietly, and hid behind the door silently with Li Yiqing.
After they hid, the footsteps outside the door became clearer and clearer. It seemed that someone was walking towards their room. In order not to let them notice, the person turned the small flashlight to the dimmest and made his footsteps as light as possible.
He completely turned off the flashlight in his hand before reaching the door. He stood there in the darkness for a moment, simply adapting to the dark environment, then tiptoed to open the door and walked into the room.
As if he knew the layout of the room very well, he walked directly towards the bed. He held a handkerchief soaked in sleeping pills in his hand and tried to cover the other person's mouth and nose, making the person sleeping on the bed fall into a coma.
But when he got closer and closer until he could see clearly what was on the bed, he finally realized that there was no one on the bed.
Where did you go?
The man was startled and wanted to turn around, but Qi Qiuxue, who had already seen the opportunity, knocked him unconscious with a heavy object on the table.
The other party was hit hard and fainted without even making a sound. Li Yiqing held him up with some disgust and slowly put him on the ground.
This process only made a small noise, but fortunately, the wind and snow outside were enough to cover up the insignificant sound.
Is he the only one? Is there anyone else outside?
Qi Qiuxue didn't rush out. She and Li Yiqing hid in the darkness and waited for a while. Perhaps because they realized that their teammates had not returned for a long time, the accomplices outside could not hold back any longer, and soon another person pushed the door open and walked in.
Li Yiqing grabbed his neck and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief soaked in sleeping pills.
Actually, this was not the first time she had done this. She had done the same thing to Professor Linda in the Locke Saint copy, so it was quite easy for her to carry out.
After this man was also ambushed, it was quiet outside for a long time.
Qi Qiuxue had been listening attentively to the sounds outside the door to make sure he had no other accomplices. However, this time she didn't wait for anyone else to come in. Instead, the light above her head suddenly flashed a few times and then lit up.
The sudden light was a bit dazzling, causing Qi Qiuxue to squint subconsciously.
When she opened her eyes again, she heard a deep male voice and the sound of a pistol being cocked in the hall: "Come out on your own. I'm not in the mood to waste time with you anymore."
After he finished speaking, the door in front of him was kicked open again. With the bright light, Qi Qiuxue finally saw the situation outside.
Except for her and Li Yiqing, all the NPCs had been captured, tied up and placed under centralized control, even Liu Ge was among them.
There were scars on her face, as if she had fought with this group of people just like Qi Qiuxue and Li Yiqing, but she was outnumbered and eventually defeated.
There is no other reason, it’s just that the other side has too many people.
Qi Qiuxue took a quick look and saw that apart from the two people who were knocked unconscious by her and Li Yiqing, there were more than ten men standing densely in the hall. They were obviously well prepared and fully equipped.
Even almost holding a gun in his hand.
"Who are you?" Even so, Qi Qiuxue remained calm and asked the other party's purpose in a calm voice.
"That's not the question you should be asking." The leading man had only one eye, and a deep, old knife scar on the other, making him look extremely terrifying. "But there is one thing I can reveal to you."
"We are here for the treasure as well. We have the same purpose as you."
