Chapter 124

They are just strangers who have met once and done business together. You can’t say what the situation will be like the next time they meet. Maybe they will fight?

After all, this Shouguang made Mingguluo in our family very angry.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Next time we meet, we will fight together. I will never take her side." Baiji patted Mingguluo's shoulder, trying to calm her down.

"I have worked with her before. I wonder if she will laugh at my stupidity behind my back. From this perspective, I am indeed stupid." Mingguluo raised his hand and crushed the chair in the room.

"Some people are really good at pretending." Baiji scratched his face and began to comfort Mingguluo awkwardly, "But I think, just what I think, Shouguang must have really been serious when he cooperated with you, and he wouldn't laugh at you behind your back."

"It seems that she is really good at being a human being."

"You just met her once and you started talking to her."

Baiji: “…” Actually, that’s not the case. Isn’t this just to make you feel better?

Baiji: "Anyway, it's because she was so serious and hardworking every time she worked with you that you didn't discover her true colors, right?"

Mingguluo: "Sure enough, the alien guys..."

"It has nothing to do with race. Look at Xianxian, he is..."

Mingguluo: "The scum of the tribe, the stain of the spirit, there are such guys in every race, this is an individual problem."

"But the weirdos are real, a bunch of disgusting guys."

Baiji:……

Pingha, it’s better if you don’t show up recently.

"Anyway, we just had a fairly friendly transaction, and I think we got the information you needed."

……

"...I understand, thank you." Mingguluo raised her hand and put on the glasses that were originally pinned on her clothes. The reflective lenses blocked all her emotions, and she turned back into the impeccable spiritual master.

"You did a great job this time."

Baiji: "I thought you would say I was reckless?"

Mingguluo: "Did the master say anything?"

Baiji: "No." He said nothing again.

Mingguluo noticed that Baiji's tone was a little low, like a puppy being scolded by its owner...

It reminded her of the first time she saw Baiji.

"Sir, your identity is special, you should have noticed that." Mingguluo raised his hand and touched Baiji's head, which was rare. "It's better to leave it like this, like now."

"Go home and get yourself ready. It's time for you to go back to school."

Baiji: "Do we have to talk about such an inappropriate topic now? Is it really necessary to go to school?"

"If you don't know what to do for me, or if you want to find something for me to do to stop me from having too many thoughts, it doesn't have to be solved by school, right?"

Mingguluo: "This is what the master meant. Maybe the master wants you to study and then find a job after graduation?"

"Can't I just hang out with you guys?"

"...What nonsense are you talking about?" Ming Guluo tapped Baiji's forehead and returned to her usual sarcastic tone, "We all need a diploma here."

Baiji: “…”

Well, she, an outdated illiterate, is not worthy of him.

-

When Baiji returned to the villa, only Dunnian and Hua Po were there. There was no trace of the remaining three people in the entire villa. They were probably not back yet.

"Is it because Baiji didn't go to school these days? The school feels so quiet."

Dunnian was sitting on the sofa in the hall reading a book, while Huapo was watering the plants in the hall.

"Yu Na and Liu Xiangquan? I just dealt with them. There's no need to bring such a small matter to Bai Ji."

Huapo: "Wow, you really have some means, Student Council President."

Dunnian: "Compared to this, isn't it a little too quiet at home recently?"

"Yu Pei just went out to buy something, but who knows about other people?" Hua Po put down the kettle, sat back on the chair opposite to Dun Nian, and leaned forward on the back of the chair. "You know, I don't like to meddle in other people's business."

Dunnian: “…”

Dunnian: "Really? I can't tell."

One of them was reading a book quietly, while the other was leaning back in a chair and smiling at the other. This was the scene that Baiji saw when he pushed the door open.

I don't understand what kids these days are thinking.

Baiji didn't disturb them and turned to go upstairs.

Seeing Baiji's back disappear from his sight, Dunnian placed the book upside down on the table and asked, "What did you do today?"

Huapo: "Are you curious? It's really rare, or do you want to take everything into your own hands?"

Dunnian: "From the time I came here until now, haven't you been waiting for me to ask?"

Hua Po: "Haha, it's nothing actually." After glancing in the direction of the stairs, the woman had no intention of coming down at all.

"...I was just accompanying you, but I got an unexpected reward."

Shouguang is a great writer and also a very capable boss. She can obviously grasp the current popular trends in online literature. Most importantly, she knows who has talent and imagination.

"I saw Lin Xiao in that weird company."

Lin Xiao, the writer who pioneered the genre of the other world and has a rich imagination.

"I wonder if Lin Xiao was involved in the events Shouguang created, or if he provided Shouguang with some inspiration."

Although it was just a quick glance, Hua Po also noticed that Lin Xiao's position in the company was not low, and the secretary next to Shouguang was very respectful to her.

Among so many people, only Lin Xiao asked the secretary about his and Baiji's identities and purpose.

"That look, that sight... is not simple."

Dunnian closed his eyes slightly and made a note of this in his heart. "You have improved." He then threw a ring to Huapo. "It can block Lu Duan's full-strength attack ten times. Use it as you see fit."

"Thank you for your patronage."

-

It was a cloudy night and the moon was completely blocked. Fortunately, the street lights along the way were very bright. Lin Xiao walked alone on the way home, feeling grateful to the staff in this world who were responsible for this aspect.

You have to know that the street light on her original way home had been broken for three years and no one cared about it or repaired it.

Although her boss has many demands on her and her work is always criticized, Lin Xiao likes her current life very much because her boss treats her very well, provides her with a good salary, five insurances and one fund, and her daily work is not tiring, which are all she has always dreamed of.

The most important thing is that people in this world are generally good-looking, and it’s also a magical world, so I’m in luck!

"That is, it would be nice if I also had spiritual power."

The woman was fantasizing happily and didn't notice at all that she was being followed.

Behind her, Baiji, who was very strong and had a high rank, quickly spotted the other party: "Why are you here?"

And Dunnian who was caught tracking: “…taking a walk.”

The two looked at each other. Facing Baiji's speechless expression, Dunnian covered his face and half-knelt in front of Baiji, "Sorry."

"Did you hear this from Huapo?"

"……Yes."

This brat, who always looks like a good kid, turns out to be an intelligence dealer?

Baiji: "Do you think she was involved in Shouguang's incident?"

Dunnian: "No, judging from her appearance, her mental quality is not strong, and she should not be able to do such a thing, but it cannot be ruled out that she was used by Shouguang and provided Shouguang with ideas."

"I asked Liu Qing to check some of the previous cases. Some of the cases in the past five years are indeed very strange and bizarre, and they feel similar to her fantasy novels."

"But it could also be that she just wrote it and Shouguang extended it, right?"

Baiji lowered his head and slowly stroked Dunnian's head with his hand, passing through his black hair and touching the horns that he had hidden with a secret technique. Finally, he grasped the hair at the back of his head and pressed the boy's head towards him.

"Tell me, you're not just here for investigation, right?"

The boy was forced to look up, his neck stretched into a beautiful arc. He was tall and strong, and always had an oppressive presence, but in front of women, he was always obedient and polite.

He is a thug at heart, but he always pretends to be a gentleman.

Now he was kneeling on one knee in front of the woman, seemingly suppressed, but in fact he had no intention of resisting at all. His hands hung casually at his sides, not nervous at all.

Or maybe it's a firm belief that women won't do anything.

"...What about Baiji?"

The young man raised his eyes, his eyes reflecting tiny rays of light under the soft light of the street lamp. "At this time, Baiji is not as slow as usual. Can I assume that Baiji has the same idea as me?"

It's not just an investigation, it's also a test.

Testing Lin Xiao means nothing to Shouguang.

"Ming Guluo is very vindictive. Plus, the current situation clearly tells her that Shouguang knows a lot. She will never let Shouguang go easily. Why not wait a little longer?"

Baiji's hands tightened again unconsciously, pulling the boy's head so hard that it hurt.

"Baiji, you are too sensitive. I just came to see how Lin Xiao is doing."

Dunnian is a child who is very good at observation and discovery. Since he came to Baiji, he has been looking at Baiji and other people.

"Then let's go back." Baiji let go of his hand and looked away.

During this short while, Lin Xiao had already walked quite a distance, and her cheerful back looked like that of a girl who was ignorant of the world.

"She looked like she knew nothing."

Dunnian stood up, tidied himself up with his back to Baiji, and looked at Lin Xiao after hearing what he said.

"It is possible that she is pretending."

"Like you guys?" Baiji continued without hesitation, "Say one thing to your face and another behind your back."

Dunnian smiled with curved lips, and did not deny it, but said, "We never thought of harming you, at least I did."

"Stop being so rude!" Baiji slapped him on the back. "Okay, I admit that I was a little bit off today."

Dunnian pretended to stagger after being hit, and looked down at Baiji, "You mean different from your usual image?"

"It doesn't even rise to the level of a character setting?"

"Character?"

"No, nothing." Bai Ji shook his head, "Just to be honest, Lin Xiao and I do have some connection."

She was a human being accidentally brought to this world by the system, but if she really got involved in these things because of Shouguang, she would probably have been contaminated by cause and effect and sin.

"Look, does this count as trouble you caused?"

Baiji removed the system's shield, but the system was now curled up in a corner of the sea of ​​consciousness, shivering and hugging its poor self. It was nothing like what it had imagined before, baring its fangs and claws and demanding explanation from Baiji.

Seeing that the system had been silent for a long time, Baiji was too lazy to pay attention to it and blocked it again.

"Shou Guang is a very powerful and dangerous person. Don't confront her head-on. If you are curious about Lin Xiao, you can send someone else to monitor Lin Xiao, or go to Ping Ha to follow up on this matter."

In this world filled with so many negative words and emotions, how powerful can the word spirits that live on them be?

"Don't do anything rash. Just like you said, Minguluo will deal with her sooner or later."

Not for justice, but for responsibility.

Under the pale street light, the woman said words that sounded like concern, but she didn't even look at the boy.

"well."

The young man lowered his head, and the woman's back was reflected in his dark eyes. It had not changed for many years.

-

"Xiao Xiao, aren't you a little too arrogant? You can still smile so happily even when being followed."

Just as Lin Xiao inserted the key into the door lock, she heard a female voice that made her spine tingle. The warm breath hit her ears, and she was so scared that she slammed her door with a bang.

"What?! Boss? Let me tell you, this is considered sexual harassment!"

"And you almost scared me to death!"

Lin Xiao held onto the door to steady himself, patted his chest and concentrated, "Why did you come to see me all of a sudden?"

Lin Xiao turned the key, opened the door, and walked in with a swagger, not treating Shouguang as an outsider at all.

"Come in, it's rare that you come to see me. It's still a bit cold tonight. Let's order some barbecue. I happen to have some beer at home, hehe."

Shouguang stood outside the door and did not follow in immediately, but touched the door lock with his hand.

"This kind of door lock of human beings is so fragile. It can't defend against any attack at all."

"Ah? What did you say?" Lin Xiao had already entered the kitchen and didn't hear Shouguang's words clearly.

After Lin Xiao finished cleaning up and walked out of the kitchen with a beer, Shouguang came into the house and closed the door heavily.

"Don't push so hard. It'll disturb others in the middle of the night."

"I'm so sorry, I was just a little worried that it wouldn't be closed tightly."

Lin Xiao laughed, "Hey, so what if you don't close it tightly here? Besides, the takeaway will be here soon."

Shouguang: “Have you finished ordering?”

Lin Xiao: "No, no, I'm just about to order something with you. What do you want to eat? I'll treat you today!" After saying that, Lin Xiao sat down on the sofa and patted the seat next to him.

Shouguang on the opposite side seemed to be thinking about something. He didn't sit down immediately and looked a little serious.

Lin Xiao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, "No way, boss, you didn't come to see me today just for a simple gathering? Tell me you didn't come to discuss the novel with me, okay?" It was already free time after get off work, there was no reason to go to an employee's home to continue discussing it, right?

Anyway, isn't there anything wrong with her recent plot? Is it the words and sentences she uses? The character setting? Or is it her writing that's bad? But her writing has always been bad.

"Boss, please say something. I won't be able to enjoy the barbecue if you keep silent like this."

"Why are you still thinking about your barbecue?"

"Because it smells really good! Barbecue and beer, happiness forever!"

Shouguang sighed helplessly, but she really liked this aspect of Lin Xiao.

A little brain that is good at coming up with strange ideas, an optimist who always automatically ignores danger, and an extremely insensitive person.

"Sometimes I really want to knock open your little head to see what you think about every day."

Shouguang reached out and touched Lin Xiao's head, who crossed his legs and happily let her touch him.

"I really like you humans."

"Because most humans are easy to satisfy."

The woman was still choosing dishes in the previous second, and in the next second, she fell on the sofa and became unconscious without even a scream.

Shouguang withdrew his hand and turned to face the camera that the woman had placed in a secret place in her home ever since she met her.

"Xiaoxiao is so stupid sometimes that she is cute." Just by waving a finger, the camera becomes useless. What is the meaning of humans inventing these things?

"Shh, get some sleep."

"It's just a common event in novels."
