Ling Xiao stood stiffly in place, and for a moment, some hands had the illusion that they were not hands or feet.

Xie Yunxi took two steps forward, only to realize that there was no movement behind him.He turned around wonderingly, only to see the other party staring at him stiffly.

The blood in the dark pupils had faded, the gaze became cold and unkind again, the lips were pursed into a straight line, and the whole person was caged in the shadow outside the door.

Looks... somewhat resistant?

"What?" Xie Yunxi was a little embarrassed. Could it be that the protagonist doesn't want to be with him?

After all, they are not familiar with each other yet.

He was stunned, and tentatively said: "There is no room in the living area, can I sleep here? Or do you want to take it alone, then we will go back to the laboratory—"

"It's okay, you can."

Before his voice fell, the other party spoke quickly.

Ling Xiao's expression was a bit distressed, he was not very good at explaining, but he didn't want the young man opposite him to misunderstand what he meant.He opened his mouth, the sequelae of alienation made his muscles less flexible, and his voice sounded slightly astringent.

"I don't dislike it, I'm afraid—it gets dirty."

He pointed to the dried blood stains on his body, as if to support his words.

Hearing this answer, Xie Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. He took advantage of Ling Xiao's deep sleep to sterilize the exposed wound briefly, but due to a little hand damage and fear of waking him up, he didn't clean it thoroughly.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Ling Xiao's arm.

After dozens of hours of contact, Xie Yunxi had already developed immunity to these hideous wounds, and now he glanced at it calmly, without any change in expression.

Right now, these wounds have formed bleeding scabs under the effect of the protagonist's amazing resilience, and it is estimated that they can see water.

Xie Yunxi raised her hand and knocked on the door of a cubicle beside her, signaling, "Take a bath."

There is a small independent bathroom in the dormitory. Due to the unified planning during construction, the configuration is basically the same as the dormitory in the team.Even the toiletries on the shelves are uniformly distributed by the alliance.

For a moment, Ling Xiao seemed to have returned to the days when he was still serving in the team.

Familiar memories surged up, Ling Xiao's movements froze slightly, and a trace of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

The experience of the past few days was like a nightmare. At the last moment, he thought that he was about to fall into the eternal night. At this moment, he stood in the familiar warm bathroom with a small light shining above his head.

But the difference is that his roommate who loved to snore and pick his feet was replaced by Xie Miao.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao felt subtly uncomfortable, not to mention psychological.

Xie Yunxi brought Ling Xiao brand new towels and daily clothes uniformly distributed by the laboratory. He glanced at the person next to him who had wounds almost all over his body, and asked a little uncertainly: "Do you need help? The wound may touch water... "

"Need not."

As if trying to cover up something, Ling Xiao answered quickly and his tone was so decisive that Xie Yunxi looked at him in confusion.

Ling Xiao pursed his lips stiffly, the skin of the young man in front of him looked fair and lustrous under the light of the bathroom, and his brown-gray eyes stared round at him.

He suddenly felt a strange heat on his face.

Ling Xiao collected himself and explained, "There were wounds in previous battles, so I have experience."

Xie Yunxi then recalled the opponent's battle video. After all, the person in front of him is a veteran boss, and he probably has more experience in dealing with wounds than himself.

He nodded belatedly, exited the bathroom, Ling Xiao closed the bathroom door, and after a while, there was the sound of water dripping inside.

Xie Yunxi quickly cleaned up the upper bunk that had been idle for a long time, put on a mattress, and then returned to the desk.

After being exhausted for dozens of hours, even though his body has been slightly strengthened by the system, he still can't bear it now.

Xie Yunxi yawned sleepily, but Ling Xiao hadn't come out yet.

He froze for a while, then pulled himself together and called up the world information to check again.

In this world, what really changes the fate of the protagonist is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.But in the Honkai world line, when the protagonist takes revenge, he quickly crushes the top management of the alliance, and kills all the enemies without even finding out who is behind the scenes, so that Xie Yunxi can only infer based on the existing information.

Every high-ranking member of the alliance who has been in contact with the alienation appraisal room is suspicious.

The system invaded the intranet, quickly found out the high-level officials who had been in contact with Elizhe recently, and made a list.

Xie Yunxi's eyes lingered on dozens of names, and finally settled on one name—Fero Elliott.

General Ferro, who is also a tenth-level superhuman with the protagonist.

When Ling Xiao was carrying out his mission, the nearest reinforcement to him was the team of supernatural beings led by Fei Luo.Fei Luo was the first to discover Ling Xiao, and also the first to notice the alienation reaction in him.

Then Ferro took him back to the base and reported the situation on the scene.

According to his report, Ling Xiao was directly designated as a traitor.

After Ling Xiao was taken into custody, Fei Luo took over part of his duties and continued to be responsible for his escort tasks. Ling Xiao's mental state also deteriorated irreparably at this stage.

His every move seems to be stepping on the turning point of the protagonist's fate.

Xie Yunxi entered Fei Luo's name on the optical brain. Unlike Ling Xiao, although Fei Luo is also a tenth-level supernatural user, he is already close to 40 years old, and in the internal combat power record, his combat power is stronger than Ling Xiao's. Xiao Xiao is slightly inferior.

But Fei Luo and Ling Xiao had worked together before, so there shouldn't be any deep hatred between them, otherwise Ling Xiao wouldn't have sent Fei Luo a request for help.

Xie Yunxi blinked in confusion.

"Host, I think this may have something to do with the Marshal."

The system called up the information of the current federal marshal from the database, and presented it to Xie Yunxi.

"The current marshal is in his sixties, and his ability has only reached level nine. He is usually in charge of strategic planning, and may have to give way in a few years."

Obviously, after the marshal abdicates, someone must replace him to perform his duties.

And Ling Xiao is strong in battle, has many achievements, and is ten years younger than Fei Luo.

Xie Yunxi's eyes dimmed, "System, monitor the communication records of Elizhe and Ferro, and then find all the reports about the protagonist from Ferro."

"Okay." The system took the task and allocated the memory to work.

Xie Yunxi recalled Ling Xiao's blood test report. He didn't tell him that the injections used by the other party on Ling Xiao were different from the existing ones on the market. They were freshly developed, purer, and had stronger alienation effects. .

The existing folk manufacturers are generally not very high-level, and can only roughly manufacture alienated viruses according to the methods that have been circulated.Therefore, this new alienated virus is likely to be written by Elizhe, or some hidden master.

Xie Yunxi didn't plan to touch Elizhe yet, he didn't want to startle the snake before confirming his opponent.

The sound of the bathroom door being opened came from the room, and Xie Yunxi came back to his senses. When he was in a daze, the sound of the water had subconsciously stopped.

He turned his head sideways, and his expression froze the next moment.

Slight water vapor lingers at the bathroom door, Ling Xiao's upper body is bare, and a brand-new white towel is hung around his waist by him, revealing his eight-pack abs and half of a mermaid line.

The short black hair dripped with water, and the black scales shone with luster after washing off the blood stains, creating a strange beauty instead.

Xie Yunxi's scalp exploded immediately, and he said dryly, "Did you finish washing?"

Ling Xiao grabbed the clothes Xie Yunxi had prepared for him with one hand, and said helplessly, "The size is wrong."

"..." Xie Yunxi saw Ling Xiao's height of over 1.9 meters, and had an epiphany.

He gave Ling Xiao a medium size. Most of the researchers in the lab were about the same size as him, and Xie Yunxi subconsciously thought they were all one size...

Xie Yunxi went to pull out another set of plus size for Ling Xiao to change into, and another set of uniforms for tomorrow.The clothes that were not close-fitting covered the smooth muscle lines, and also covered those horrific wounds.

Ling Xiao wiped his hair until there was no more dripping water, then stretched his long legs, walked to the chair next to the bookcase, sat down, and picked out a book to read.

Xie Yunxi took the clothes, turned around and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The sound of pattering water could be heard in the bathroom, Ling Xiao's eyes dimmed, and he quickly put down his reading material.

Xie Miao's computer was spread carelessly on the desk. From the very beginning, the other party seemed to have no defense against him.Ling Xiao suppressed the sense of immorality in his heart, and quietly logged into the intranet.

After joining the team for a period of time, his superiors specially asked him to train in communication technology, and he also mastered some hacking techniques, which he never expected to use at this time.

After a while, he sat back on the chair calmly, picked up the reading material again, and spread it on his lap.

What Ling Xiao took was a book on the study of alienation in the last days. The editor was a master in the life sciences before the alienation tide broke out, and he was also the first scholar who proposed the concept of "alienation" after the end of the world. One of the founding documents of the study of alienation.

He looked at the editor's name quietly, then looked away, and his eyes fell on the photo on Xie Miao's desk.

This master is also Xie Miao's mentor.

The other party was infected by a virus in an experiment. Like himself, he was also alienated, and there was no cure for alienation at that time, so he simply regarded himself as an experimental subject and ended his life in the last experiment.

His pupils continued in his footsteps, gradually developing methods of slowing the rate of alienation.

Ling Xiao admired this researcher very much, and the young man in front of him was his chosen apprentice... Ling Xiao kept convincing himself that after experiencing so much slander and betrayal, he actually wanted to believe him.

And the other party soon appeared in front of his eyes.

The young man was wearing soft cotton pajamas, with a white towel drooping on his wet hair, and a pair of little white legs that lacked exercise protruded from the loose trousers.

After taking off the laboratory uniform, the young man in front of him looked softer, as if he was no longer the alienated top leader of the laboratory, but like any ordinary college student—a college student before the end of the world.

It's really... very different from my roommates.

The subtle embarrassment on Xie Yunxi just now appeared on another person.

Ling Xiao's breathing subtly paused for a moment, he took a deep breath, and then turned his gaze back to the book pretending to be calm.

Xie Yunxi brushed her hair unconsciously, and suddenly said: "By the way, do you need to contact your old department...or do you need to connect to the Internet or something?"

He paused, as if he didn't know how to ask a question.Indeed, these words sounded a bit like fishing, like asking the suspect to confess his accomplices.

Since Ling Xiao fell into suspicion, the alliance has taken back all his personal accounts. If Ling Xiao wants to contact someone or do something, the most convenient way is to use Xie Miao's account.

After his words fell, Ling Xiao suddenly froze.

He was stunned for a moment, then replied in a deep voice, "No need."

After a while, Ling Xiao seemed to add with some difficulty: "I want...to submit the questionable part of the task before the trial, if you are willing to help me."

"Okay." Xie Yunxi blinked her eyes and decided to end this topic for the time being.

He patted the top bunk that had just been made to Ling Xiao, signaling that this was his place.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao stuffed the books in his hands back into the bookcase and walked towards the bed.

Xie Yunxi turned off the light in the room, leaving only a small night light in the corner, and quietly retreated into the bed.

In the dim light, he saw that Ling Xiao held onto the railing of the upper bunk, stepped on the steps, and then turned over lightly without making a single movement.

Like a wary beast in the night.

Unlike the protagonists in the previous two worlds, he came later in this world, and vigilance has been deeply rooted in the protagonist's heart.

From the perspective of the last days, this may be a good thing... maybe not so good.

Xie Yunxi couldn't say what kind of mentality he was in. After a while, he seemed to be talking to himself and whispered, "Good night."

After a long time, a low voice responded in the darkness: "Good night."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

I'm sorry that there are too many things to do today, and it's a bit late. Next, try to save as many drafts as possible to fight for a regular TvT

Good night everyone =3=
