If this crystal city only shocked him, he had never imagined that Shi Wanyun was here.
"Shi Wanyun...?" Lou Feier was stunned for a second when she heard the name, then her eyes widened, "Shi Wanyun? You are Shi Wanyun?! The one... the number one boss in District 1?"
“…Yes, it’s me. You are…” Shi Wanyun had seen Li Wenxi in the video before, but had never seen Lou Feier.
"I'm Lou Fei'er, you should have heard of my name."
Lou Feier also knew about what happened between Xu Xin and Shi Wanyun, and immediately put aside her hostility.
"Ah, it's you." Shi Wanyun's soft voice was filled with a hint of surprise, "You're the one, Lou Fei'er from District 187, right?"
At that time, Lou Fei'er's story had already spread all over the world and was known to all the survivors.
"Hey, yes, that's me."
“Hmm…” Coco was already starting to feel drowsy.
It cried softly, looked up at Shi Wanyun, and closed its eyes again.
It's already the late night, and the little one's bedtime has long passed. It's pretty good that we've been able to hold out until now.
"... So, why are you here?" Xu Xin looked at her.
Her appearance is even more eye-catching than in the video.
She had video chats with Xu Xin twice in total. The first time, she was beaten and her hair was disheveled and she looked terrible. The second time, she had just escaped and was completely unkempt.
Now, she had obviously done some makeup, with her hair simply tied up. Her pretty face exuded an irresistible affinity, and she was looking at Xu Xin and Lou Feier with gentle eyes.
"... I'm not sure either." Shi Wanyun's eyes flashed with confusion, and then she shook her head and said, "I was just exploring around the tree house, and just like last time, I felt dizzy and came here. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Like last time..."
Xu Xin naturally knew exactly what she meant by the last time.
Last time, she triggered the teleportation around the tree house and was sent directly to the other side of the planet.
In other words, this time, she was also teleported here
Outrageous…
Why was he teleported to the ruins right below his tree house
By the way, after the last call, the contact between Xu Xin and her was cut off due to the scorching heat, and it is still unknown what happened to her on that giant tree.
"So you came straight to us from your area?" Lou Fei'er didn't quite believe it. "Is that true? Did you just arrive?"
"No. I've been here for a while, about half an hour, but I've been observing the situation." Shi Wanyun explained, "This place is not what you see now. This city was made of stone just now."
She described the changes that had just taken place to the two of them.
"There is such a thing..." Xu Xin believed what she said.
Because he was a little confused from the beginning, why there were so many stone chips on the ground around these buildings.
This is the only thing that affects the beauty of the city.
And Shi Wanyun's words just explained his doubts.
"Xu Xin..." Lou Feier pulled his arm, "This... couldn't be caused by us, right?"
“… That should be it.”
Xu Xin looked back at the corridor he had just walked out of.
The door was not closed but completely open, as if they could walk in again at any time.
So, it was they who opened the door and triggered some mechanism, which led to the true appearance of the city being revealed, presenting such an amazing sight.
"So, where exactly is this place and how did you get here?" Shi Wanyun was also very confused.
Perhaps it was because she had experienced a similar or even more dangerous incident, or perhaps it was because she saw her savior last time. Although she was teleported to a strange place again, she was very calm and did not panic.
"This is right below my tree house." Xu Xin explained only one sentence and then looked at the crystal city again.
The Crystal Palace in the center of the city has been attracting his attention since the beginning.
For some reason, he always felt that this crystal palace was inexplicably familiar.
He really wants to go over and take a look now.
Thinking of the statue of his face above...
He must go over and take a look.
but…
"… Why are there bugs here too?" Xu Xin sighed.
There were not many insects where they were now, but near the Crystal Palace, there was a black swarm of insects.
These swarms of insects seemed to be attracted by the brighter light emitted by the Crystal Palace than the surrounding buildings. Most of them gathered around it and surrounded the Crystal Palace.
"That's why I didn't go in just now." Shi Wanyun said softly, "Before you came, this area was still dark, and these bugs didn't gather near the Crystal Palace, but were scattered all over the city. They are not like the bugs on the ground that are not interested in survivors, but they will actively attack me."
"However, it doesn't matter as long as we are outside this archway. Although the flying insects will fly out, they will lose their active offensive capabilities." Shi Wanyun continued to explain, "So I have been thinking about countermeasures outside, and at this time, you came."
… is that so.
"You just said that the bugs inside this archway," Xu Xin pointed at the crystal archway in front of him that was emitting a white glow, "will become aggressive?"
"Yes, that's right. I know you want to enter that palace, and I want to enter it too, but you must be careful. The group attack power of those flying insects and reptiles should not be underestimated." Shi Wanyun looked at the palace and said.
"No way..." Lou Feier's expression immediately collapsed, and she looked sad, "Will they attack us? Then will our insect repellent still be useful..."
"Anti-insect medicine?" Shi Wanyun's eyes moved and she looked at them.
"Let's move closer and take a look." Xu Xin was not so kind. There was not much of that stuff in one bottle and there was not much left, so he tried to save it if possible.
"... I'll go with you." Shi Wanyun said.
Xu Xin glanced at her and said, "Are you...really okay? This is under my tree house. Do you think you can still go back?"
He still had many things he wanted to ask Shi Wanyun, but obviously not now.
"Whether I can go back or not, shouldn't I try my best before deciding?" Shi Wanyun asked, then smiled and shook her head, "Even if I can't go back, if you can take me in, maybe... I can live a more relaxed life than before?"
"It's not maybe, it's definitely!" Lou Feier turned her head and looked at her and said, "Living together is much easier than living alone."
"Okay, stop talking, let's go in and take a look." Xu Xin looked at Shi Wanyun deeply, picked up Coco, who had fallen asleep on his shoulder and was a little shaky, and rubbed his little head, then walked towards the crystal city.
Lou Feier immediately followed and turned back to say, "Come on, we can go together."
"good."
Crystal City really exceeded their imagination.
All the buildings in the city are made of materials that emit a bright white glow.
Xu Xin reached out and touched it, and found the texture to be soft and delicate.
These buildings seem like carefully polished jade pieces, making people unable to put them down.
Where on earth is this place
…
Shi Wanyun kept walking behind the two of them.
Although she also touched and observed her surroundings, her eyes were almost always on Xu Xin.
Her eyes were no longer as gentle as before, but slightly conflicted and a little... cold.
She pursed her lips slightly.
Xu Xin, I finally see you.
It really took a lot of effort.
Didn’t you say that I’m not good at lying, that I lie too hard and that my acting skills are terrible
I don't know if you can see through the lie I just told.
Seeing Xu Xin was about to look back again, she calmly and unnoticeably turned her gaze away and gently touched the nearby crystal building with her hand.
Everything is so natural.
Now... what should I do.
Should I rely on him and tell him everything
Or, as they say...
Kill him
…
Lou Feier tilted her head slightly to glance at Shi Wanyun, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes.
She always felt that there was something wrong with this woman.
"Xu Xin, Xu Xin..." Seeing that Shi Wanyun didn't pay attention to this side, Lou Feier poked him and said softly, "Do you really believe what Shi Wanyun said? Isn't this too coincidental? Why did she teleport to us? Also, what she just said always feels a bit... inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with that?" Xu Xin glanced at her and said, "Don't think too much. This place is special. It's normal for her to be teleported here. Besides, she has experienced something like this before. It shouldn't be fake. She is also a great help to us now."
"Is that so..." Xu Xin's words had a great impact on Lou Fei'er. After hearing what Xu Xin said, Lou Fei'er temporarily let down her guard, "Well... maybe I'm overthinking it."
"Don't think too much, solve the problem here first."
"Oh good. Coco, Coco, wake up! Explore!"
“嘤…” Coco pushed Lou Feier’s hand away with her little paw, but she was still picked up by her.
Xu Xin turned his head to glance at Shi Wanyun, who was looking at them and walking towards them.
Xu Xin smiled slightly, and Shi Wanyun also responded with a gentle smile.
He took a deep breath.
He certainly didn't let his guard down.
To be honest, when Xu Xin first met her, he was not wary of her at all.
After all, he was the person he rescued, so he was an acquaintance. His gentle appearance made people feel very close to him, which gave him a very good first impression.
But the problem... is also here.
This sense of closeness is a little too strong.
So strong... It was almost the same feeling Li Wenxi had given him today.
This made Xu Xin suspicious.
Would an average person give him this feeling when they meet for the first time
It's not like he hasn't seen beautiful women before. Li Wenxi and Lou Fei'er are no worse than him. Why did he feel such a strong sense of closeness with Shi Wanyun when he first met her
Do you believe in fate and destined people
Anyway, Xu Xin didn't believe it.
Therefore, he was now almost certain that this sense of closeness came from an ability he was familiar with.
It comes from the ability that Li Wenxi also has today.
Random Amplification: Affinity Amplification
That’s right, this is it.
The random amplification was the reward for eliminating the tornado before nightfall during the rainy season.
At that time, there were quite a few survivors around the world, about fifty or sixty people, who received this reward.
Among them was Shi Wanyun.
Therefore, he had every reason to suspect that Shi Wanyun now had an affinity enhancer to increase her affinity.
When she was randomly teleported to his side, her random amplification happened to be the affinity amplification.
Can such a coincidence really exist
This was the first point that made him feel a little uncomfortable.
The second point is what she said to Xu Xin and the others after they met.
She seemed to have explained a bit too much.
Xu Xin didn't even say a few words, she told him basically everything about the situation here.
With an indifferent expression and a gentle tone, she revealed her entire situation to him.
In a very unfamiliar and dangerous environment, she completely exposed her situation to him, whom she had just met for the first time.
Would a normal person do this
If she had expressed her feelings in a panic or joyful way, he might have thought it was okay, but she...
It's so peaceful.
Maybe... it's because that's just her personality, she doesn't show her emotions
Or maybe, because he was her savior, so he gave her everything without reservation
… maybe.
… Damn.
Xu Xin rubbed his temple.
Because of his friendliness, he is now finding excuses for the other party to get rid of suspicion.
It has to be said that, putting aside his current doubts, he has a very strong liking for Shi Wanyun.
Has anything like this ever happened before
No.
It seems that at least the increase in Shi Wanyun's affinity can be basically confirmed.
As for why he didn't agree with Lou Fei'er just now, it was because...
The conversation between Lou Feier and me just now might have been heard by her.
After all, if she can have an affinity boost, then... why can't she have a hearing boost
Moreover, her own abilities are still unknown so it is better to be careful.
He didn't want to alert the enemy.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Shi Wanyun saw Xu Xin rubbing his temple, and immediately approached him, looked into his eyes, and asked with concern in her eyes.
There was nothing wrong with her behavior. After all, I was her savior.
It is normal for anyone to care about their savior.
But is there any motive behind this behavior
"I'm fine, just a little distressed. After all, this place is too big, and it is basically impossible to explore it comprehensively." Xu Xin said casually.
He did not ask Shi Wanyun about the increase in affinity. Even if he did, it would be meaningless.
The other party will definitely say that this is just her random increase today, or that she chose this increase for some reason.
Regardless of whether this was what he thought or not, this was the only answer he could get.
Moreover, although the other party may be well prepared, it shouldn't be harmful to him, right? Maybe they just want to surrender to him, so they do this
Damn it, I’m affected by the affinity increase again. I always think on the bright side!
She was the one who climbed that tree. On that tree...
Anyway, there might be some problems!
I'll ask the tree later and test her out.
"Let's just explore the castle." Lou Feier glanced at Shi Wanyun, then said, "I don't think there's anything around here. Coco couldn't find anything and fell asleep. Let's just speed up!"
Shi Wanyun's friendliness made Lou Feier not too wary of her, but somehow, she felt a little uncomfortable watching Shi Wanyun's behavior.
It was as if I saw... the shadow of my past self.
"Well, let's speed up our pace." Shi Wanyun said softly, "A few hundred meters ahead, there will be a swarm of insects. You have to be careful."
Xu Xin nodded.
Shi Wanyun, if you are really who I suspect you are, then you are indeed as I said before.
Can't lie.
Because your lies are just like last time, always too exaggerated and make people suspicious.
Lou Fei'er's suspicion of Shi Wanyun just now might be because a professional saw the clue. After all, if it weren't for the hearing amplification, he would probably have died under Lou Fei'er's extremely comprehensive acting skills.
In contrast…
Shi Wanyun is still far inferior.
Of course, this is based on the premise that she does have problems.
If she's okay with that, great.
Zone 1, the second strongest area's lone wolf, if there were no problems, he would definitely keep her.
The few of them sped up and soon approached the swarm of insects.
At this time, in front of them, near the insect swarm, a sound came...
The sound of a door being pushed open
"What's that sound?" Lou Feier asked in surprise.
Who is it again? !
"The bugs outside have all run away, you can come out now!"
Lou Feier's eyes lit up immediately: "Ah, it's Xiao Taozi!"
