Xu Ying really cried.
She was indeed very lonely during this period.
It’s not that no one is with her, she just feels that she is not from this world, but is forced to stay in this world. Even if she communicates more with the people here, there will be a strong barrier in her heart.
In addition to the official business, another important reason why she brought Li Wenxi underground was that she herself could not hold on any longer and needed to communicate with an "acquaintance".
Even though she had only been here a few days, she still couldn't stand it.
This feeling as if the whole world is rejecting her can drive people crazy.
And now, the person in front of her was the most "familiar" person to her in this world.
So in an instant, she couldn't hold it in any longer.
Xu Xin was at a loss for a moment.
He didn't know how long it had been since he last hugged his sister.
My sister was very cute when she was a child, but since she entered junior high school and became rebellious, our relationship has deteriorated a lot. It has been at least five or six years since we last had this relationship.
What's more, the Xu Ying in front of him is not his sister.
This "sister" is several hundred years older than him...
However, in the end he still patted Xu Ying on the back and whispered comforting words.
Xu Ying was just a little emotional for a moment, and after venting her emotions for a while, she reacted and immediately let go of her hand with a blushing face and took two steps back: "Ah, that..."
Ah...! How embarrassing!
She felt like she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
It would have been fine if Xu Xin hadn't discovered her identity, but now that he has...
It is really too embarrassing for a person who is hundreds of years old to cry in the arms of a man in his twenties!
Now that the other party knew her identity, she couldn't even call him brother.
It was Xu Xin who spoke first: "Yingying, were you... teleported here?"
The way he addressed Xu Ying did not change.
However, no matter how old the other person was, she was still his younger sister Xu Ying. It was absolutely impossible for him to speak to her in a more unfamiliar tone, or even as if speaking to an elder.
What's more, the girl just hugged him and cried.
"Ah..." Xu Ying wiped the tears from her face, "I am... Hey!"
She suddenly turned her head to look at the human-faced statue, then looked around.
When she found that there was no change around her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, fortunately, you haven't triggered the mechanism here yet..." She patted her chest and her expression relaxed, "Don't trigger this mechanism now!"
"... It seems that I was right not to trigger the mechanism." Xu Xin turned his head to look at Lou Fei'er behind him.
At this time, Lou Feier was walking forward holding Coco.
Coco jumped out of her arms with a "嘤" sound, ran to Xu Ying's legs, and grabbed her legs with her little paws.
"Little guy, it's you again!"
When Xu Ying saw Coco, she was immediately attracted by her cuteness and took out a piece of fruit candy and handed it to Coco's mouth.
Coco immediately bit the gummy candy, then turned around and jumped onto Xu Xin, starting to chew it with her little mouth.
This little guy really loves sweets.
Xu Xin rubbed its head.
"Brother, this little thing you raised is so cute." Xu Ying still likes Coco's little appearance very much.
In addition, she saw that the mechanism had not been triggered, so she was no longer in a hurry. After calming down, she began to chat.
But Xu Xin didn't want to chat with her.
He has so many things he wants to ask.
He took two steps closer to Xu Ying and stared into her eyes: "How did you get here? Also, is Wen Xi safe with you now?"
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about her safety. She is safer with me than with you."
Xu Ying felt a little frightened by her brother's serious gaze.
So she jumped and sat directly on top of the four or five meter high stone statue: "As for why I came here..."
She glanced at Lou Feier, who had been silent and looking at her with curiosity.
"Someone I don't know." Xu Ying raised her eyebrows.
Xu Xin understood the meaning of her words.
But it always feels a bit cruel to drive Lou Feier away at this time.
Fortunately, Lou Feier knew how to read people's expressions and knew that Xu Xin's sister didn't want her to hear the information, so she waved her hand and said, "I'm leaving. I don't want to disturb you two siblings meeting. It's awkward here."
Having said that, she turned around and tried to walk out.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Xu Ying pointed at Coco in Xu Xin's arms, "Take this little guy with you."
"Hmm?" Coco turned her little head and looked at her with an innocent look on her face.
"Are you still going to take Coco away?" Lou Feier was a little surprised and glanced at Xu Xin.
"Of course we have to take it away. Although this little thing is cute, it's a little too mysterious." Xu Ying looked at Keke and said, "Who knows where it came from? Maybe it's a little monster raised by alien invaders?"
"Boo! Boo! Boo!" Coco immediately waved her little paws in dissatisfaction to express her protest, "Boo!"
Xu Xin was silent for a moment, then handed the cocoa to Lou Feier: "Go back first, thank you for your help."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Lou Feier glanced at Xu Ying, then asked in a low voice, "Is there really no danger?"
"fine."
"Okay, then I'll leave." Lou Feier nodded, turned around and walked out.
“Hmm…” This time, Keke didn’t struggle. She just poked her little head out pitifully and looked at Xu Xin.
"By the way, there is another person outside. Take him with you when you leave!" Xu Ying shouted to Lou Feier who had already reached the crevice in the mountain.
"There's another person?" Xu Xin was a little surprised.
"Is there anyone outside?" Lou Feier got out of the crevice and took a look. "Who is there... Ah! Qin Fu? Why are you here?"
Qin Fu is here...
Sure enough, Qin Fu's somewhat embarrassed voice came from outside: "You two came out before dawn, so I wanted to follow you to see, but you were both riding wolves and ran too fast. You came out just after I arrived. Is Brother Xin in there?"
"Well... he has some things to do in there, let's go back first."
"I just got here!"
"Enough of the nonsense. Let's go, Axue and Yin Wang. Didn't you two notice his mother just now?"
"Ah..."
"Bing!"
The footsteps gradually faded away.
Xu Ying couldn't help laughing: "That guy is really good at pretending. When I came, he was already outside. He probably heard our conversation."
"Your senses are very sharp, so why didn't you say it just now?" Xu Xin looked up at Xu Ying who was sitting on her own human-faced statue.
"It doesn't matter. It's just Qin Fu, isn't it? He's always like this. We don't have to worry about anything." Xu Ying looked outside, swinging her legs and kicking the face statue's forehead with her heels. "Compared to him, who was that woman just now?"
Xu Ying lowered her head and looked at Xu Xin below.
Xu Xin frowned and said, "Get down from here. Why are you sitting so high up?"
"Woo... okay." Xu Ying shrank her neck slightly, slid her body, and jumped down.
He landed lightly and stood in front of Xu Xin.
She was still somewhat in awe of her brother who had been the team leader for hundreds of years, especially when he was frowning and angry.
Even when facing Xu Xin, he still panicked reflexively.
It's like suddenly hearing your mother call your full name.
Then, she came to her senses and glared at Xu Xin, "No, that's not right. Why would I be afraid of you? I'm so much older than you, you should call me sister, or even... Never mind, let's not do that. I'll just call you brother."
This face is too familiar. If Xu Xin called her sister or something with this face... she would probably feel a chill all over her body.
Of course, there was no way Xu Xin would call her sister.
"You have this kind of personality no matter how old you are." Xu Xin crossed his arms over his chest and shook his head.
Xu Ying was immediately dissatisfied and said, "Good fellow, you want to preach as soon as we meet, right? Let me tell you, I know much more than you do. You'd better please me, otherwise I won't tell you anything!"
Xu Xin couldn't help laughing.
This familiar yet strange feeling really makes people feel confused.
Fortunately, this guy's personality hasn't changed much. If he had to face the old-fashioned Xu Ying, he wouldn't be able to stand it.
"What are you laughing at? You haven't answered my question yet. Who was that woman just now?"
"Haven't you seen it?" Xu Xin asked back.
"I asked that. Of course I haven't seen him." Xu Ying glanced at Shanxi. "Qin Fu was indeed a member of our original team, but I have no impression of that woman just now."
That's exactly how it should be.
Lou Feier doesn't have any special abilities and should not be a member of the original team.
"She is one of our current companions and can be trusted." Xu Xin did not introduce her in detail, but just looked at Xu Ying.
"Okay, then you decide for yourself. Um... don't you have anything to ask me?" Xu Ying felt a little flustered by being looked at, and almost jumped up again.
Xu Xin was also helpless.
There are so many things I want to ask, I don't know where to start.
I always feel like my head is a mess now.
"… How long can you stay here? Why don't you go back with me first? It's quite dangerous here outside Crystal City."
"Ah, no, I'm going back soon. There are some things I need to deal with over there." Xu Ying waved her hand hurriedly, "This time I came here to stop you from triggering this mechanism..."
"Leading to... the human base?" Xu Xin lowered his voice.
"How did you..." Xu Ying looked surprised, "You guessed this! Well, since you know this, let me explain it to you!"
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Xu Xin's arm, pulling him to the position closest to the statue, with both of them almost leaning against the statue.
She nodded. "It should be fine here. With this statue as a distraction, we won't be eavesdropped or monitored."
Do stone statues have a disruptive effect
Before Xu Xin could ask, she told him how she brought Li Wenxi down there.
Perhaps it was because she felt a sense of dependence on Xu Xin when she saw his familiar face, so she told him everything about the current grim situation of the human base and the various anomalies she had discovered.
"That's how it is. The situation down there isn't optimistic, but it's mostly conflicts between humans. Even if there are forces from the other side involved, they are just lackeys. Should we call them... rapists? So, my sister-in-law is still safe down there, so you don't have to worry."
Although she was a little embarrassed when facing Xu Xin at first, now that she has gotten used to it, she can call him brother very naturally.
Xu Xin was surprised, and felt that the confused clues in his head were finally connected!
The human base has long been discovered.
He had also seen the teleportation device that Yingying mentioned.
He had also heard of the lackeys and maintainers of order that she mentioned.
Most importantly, the monster she mentioned discovered the underground base of mankind but did not inform other alien invaders, but kept it hidden by himself...
He seemed to... really see it.
The monster that Shi Wanyun saw in her memory was probably this.
"It seems that I have some news that you don't know."
"Huh? You have news that I don't know? Don't be ridiculous, brother." Xu Ying was stunned at first, then she smiled and patted Xu Xin on the shoulder with a hint of pride on her face. "How could you possibly know more than me? Don't try to be so pretentious."
"The monster you are talking about should have eyes all over its body, right?" Xu Xin suddenly said.
"… Eh?" Xu Ying's eyes widened immediately and she grabbed Xu Xin's arm. "Have you seen those disgusting things?!"
"No. No, I guess I have seen it. It's like this..."
Xu Xin also didn't intend to keep any information to himself.
Even if we don't consider the relationship between brother and sister, just based on Xu Ying's identity, she is the most trustworthy person in the world.
He told everything he knew from Shi Wanyun.
Xu Ying's expression kept changing.
From the initial surprise, to curiosity, and then to shock.
Finally, when she heard the monster take out a pocket watch with a photo of Xu Xin with blood patterns on it, her face had become extremely ugly.
"Is... is it the monster from our time and space? They... followed us here too? I see... I see, is this the true face of the 'anthropologist'? No wonder he is interested in humans..."
Xu Ying's eyes were solemn.
"So, the advantage you have gained by traveling through time and space to come here is probably not much of an advantage. That monster has also discovered this place." Xu Xin pointed at the stone statue.
"… Fortunately, we have set up a ban here, so it's useless even if it finds it."
Xu Ying exhaled and said in a comforting tone: "If you want to trigger the mechanism here, one of you and I must be present and operate the mechanism. Even if it finds this place, it can't be triggered."
Is that so.
"However, in this case, the situation is indeed very serious." Xu Ying couldn't help biting her nails. "I originally thought that time travel was our greatest reliance, but I didn't expect the other party to be the same. Then my advantage is greatly reduced..."
Xu Xin was also worried about this: "We still don't know what the monster wants to do. Whether it's the reason for building a human city there or the origins of the survivors, it's still unknown."
"Um... Brother, you just said that the woman named Shi Wanyun has the ability to transfer memories?" Xu Ying suddenly turned to look at Xu Xin and asked.
"Hmm. Haven't you heard of the name Shi Wanyun?"
"No, I don't know her. But I also need her ability now. I want to see what the monster looks like to confirm its identity!" Xu Ying grabbed Xu Xin's arm and walked towards the mountain gap, "I'll go to your side with you! We have to hurry!"
"Identity? Do the monsters look different?"
"Of course they are different, and the difference between each individual is quite large. Even we humans can basically tell the difference."
When people look at other races, they basically can't tell the difference in appearance between individuals. For example, a group of sheep or a group of cows all look similar, and even foreigners seem to look similar.
If they can be distinguished, it only means that the appearance differences between individual monsters are really huge.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
only…
He had just promised Shi Wanyun not to reveal her abilities, but before he could finish the night, he took another person to find her...
I'm really a little embarrassed...
However, Shi Wanyun did this because she felt that others were not trustworthy.
Xu Ying was very trustworthy, even more trustworthy than himself.
This is equivalent to the person involved!
