Chapter 57 What are you afraid of?



Pei Xiqing paused.

He lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Ling Lang came over with his hands in his pockets.

"No matter what you've done, as long as it's not murder, arson, or moral corruption, my brother hasn't said anything. Why are you so anxious?"

"Even if something really happens, my brother and I will take care of you. Don't be so pathetic. People who don't know will think I'm bullying you."

That’s right.

Duan Xiaolin hasn't said anything yet.

She doesn't need to panic.

Even if there really is something, it is a done deal and cannot be changed.

Ling Lang sensed something was amiss: "Why do I feel like every encounter I've had with you is a trap? Did you trick me?"

Pei Xiqing: "Guess."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter. If you're worried, I'll go over and help you take a look, and then go to my brother to test the waters."

Ling Lang said, "You stay here. Even if someone comes, they won't dare to come in casually."

After saying that, he left.

Pei Xiqing sat on the chair, touching Xiao Yi, supporting her cheek with her palm, full of worry.

Duan Xiaolin is the presiding judge, and he is the gloomy villain in the book.

He is cruel and cunning, and has always been against the Kakuzu group.

Now she is really confused.

Regarding Duan Xiaolin, she felt more complicated and physically afraid, not the anger and resistance after being deceived, but she really didn't know what to do.

Even if Duan Xiaolin wouldn't do anything to her, she had triggered the system's hunt, and the base might not be able to accommodate her.

The secrets of the base were discovered by an outsider. Who knows how many people will be punished. Once she is caught by those people in the base, she will probably never have a chance to escape.

For zombies, this place is an endless hell.

Even if Duan Xiaolin is by his side.

She was an outlier from the beginning to the end.

Those who are different will not be tolerated by the secular world.

Pei Xiqing stared at the still door and whispered, "Zombies and humans can't coexist, right?"

Xiao Yi didn't understand and just stayed quietly beside her.

Pei Xiqing touched it.

Xiao Yi is her only companion.

Traveling to another world and having a completely different identity and situation made her feel insecure more than once.

Perhaps loneliness and silence are the path she will take next.

At the same time, Duan Xiaolin in the water dungeon also received a warning command from the system.

At first he didn't care and continued to interrogate Ye Kui step by step. When Ye Kui painfully gave a name, the communicator rang at the same time.

A base order was passed on.

Arrest warrant.

The man wiped his blood-stained fingers with a handkerchief and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Click on the details of the arrest warrant.

He saw a familiar and beautiful face.

interesting.

"When did it happen?"

The subordinate behind him whispered, "Ten minutes ago."

"Do you want to approve the arrest warrant? The superiors have already started the arrest process."

Duan Xiaolin threw away the handkerchief and curled his lips, "Where is she now?"

"She's afraid of being chased, so she seems to be circling the building. She's in your office now."

The man looked deep in his eyes and turned to walk out.

I got into the elevator and started going upstairs.

The bottom three floors of the water dungeon were connected to the base building. The elevator went up rapidly and finally stopped on the 30th floor.

Duan Xiaolin brought people over, and the person in charge of the base was also leading a group of people with special abilities here.

The person in charge had a worried look on his face and kept cursing. But when he saw him, he still showed respect: "Judge."

Duan Xiaolin asked, "Looking for someone?"

"There's a traitor in the base. We're conducting a full lockdown and search! It's a clueless woman. I don't know how she got in, but she's even able to control our internal elevators. I don't know how much data she's stolen from us."

"But please rest assured, Your Honor. We will apprehend her as quickly as possible. She was able to sneak into the central tower of the base without making any noise. She must be a tough nut to crack. If she proves to be a tough opponent, Your Honor will need your help to pry her open."

Duan Xiaolin seemed to be smiling, and it was impossible to see the expression on his face.

When talking about interrogation, which is what he is best at, he also reacted indifferently.

The head of the base was a little nervous and didn't dare to speak for a while. He just took his men and left first: "Since that's the case, let's not delay any more. I will take the team down to search first."

As they were about to leave, the man slowly said, "Cancel the pursuit."

The person in charge was shocked: "Why? That woman's origins are unknown. I'm afraid she's here for the base's secrets..."

"The person is in my hands."

"What?"

"I will interrogate him myself."

"...Well, this is as fair as it can be. I believe the presiding judge will give us a fair answer."

Duan Xiaolin didn't comment, and quickly led his men inside.

Standing in front of the office door, he raised his hand to press it, but found that he couldn't push it open.

"Open the door."

Pei Xiqing was daydreaming on the sofa when he heard the voice and immediately turned around.

She pulled Xiao Yi back.

I heard the door open.

There was nowhere to hide, so he ran head-on into Duan Xiaolin.

The man's cuffs were stained with blood, and his eyes were full of hostility, looking like a dark villain.

Noticing her gaze, he casually rolled up his sleeves and walked towards her step by step.

Pei Xiqing didn't know what to say for a moment, and subconsciously took a step back to avoid the touch of the man's bloody palm.

Duan Xiaolin's expression darkened, his eyes beneath his glasses holding a cold smile. "What are you hiding from? Or, what are you afraid of?"
