Underground world.
Li Wenxi, who was lying on the bed in a daze, finally felt a little tired.
She looked at her watch and it was already five o'clock in the morning.
It should be dawn above...
"However, there is no difference between day and night in this underground world..."
She turned her head and looked out the window. The brightness outside had not changed, as if time had stopped.
"Living in a place like this for so many years, I really can't feel the passage of time."
She felt her eyes trembling.
"It's already morning, are you still sleeping..."
"I'm so sleepy, let's go to sleep. Anyway, there's no danger down there like on the ground..."
She resisted the urge to sleep, got up, walked to the window, and wanted to draw the curtains to block out the light outside.
"Hmm?" She suddenly looked serious and looked out the window.
"... Is there someone outside?" Her sleepiness immediately dissipated a little.
She looked out through the window.
There is only this one villa on the entire hill, and the rest of the place is relatively empty.
"No one?" Li Wenxi's eyes flickered for a moment, then his expression relaxed and heaved a sigh of relief, "It seems I was mistaken."
She drew the curtains to block out the light from outside.
Because the action of pulling the curtains was rather casual, a gap was left between the two curtains.
But she didn't care. She turned around, walked to the bed, and fell directly on it.
"Hmm... Why hasn't Yingying come back yet... Will she bring Xu Xin down with her..."
Mumbling, she closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
In this way, time passes by little by little.
After a long time, suddenly, an eye appeared from the gap in the curtains!
His eyes were wide open and bloodshot, as if they were the eyes of a person who had been through a long night!
And the person this eye was looking at was Li Wenxi who was lying on the bed!
The man stared at Li Wenxi, who was lying on the bed and breathing softly, without blinking for about ten seconds, and then disappeared through the gap.
Everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
About five minutes later, Li Wenxi opened his eyes.
There was a solemn look in her eyes.
There really is someone outside!
And, observing her
Sure enough, she was not mistaken just now!
Just now when she walked to the window to draw the curtains, she felt a dark shadow flash past the window.
At that moment, all sleepiness disappeared from her.
She believed in her eyesight, that shadow definitely existed! She couldn't be wrong!
You know, this is the third floor of the villa. If there is no bird outside the window, then it must be... someone with bad intentions.
but…
This space is very special, birds shouldn't come near it.
So, she deliberately left a gap in the curtains and pretended to be asleep.
In fact, he narrowed his eyes and kept observing the gap in the curtains.
When that eye appeared, she was so scared that she almost screamed!
Fortunately, she was someone who had experienced wind and rain, life and death, and she held back and did not make a sound or move. She continued to pretend to sleep, and observed the outside with her eyes narrowed.
The bedroom curtains are completely blackout curtains that are essential for underground human bases. They are used to create a dark environment in this world where it is always daytime.
There was only a slit in the curtains, so the room was extremely dark. It was basically impossible for the eye outside to see her squinting eyes, but she could see the eyes of the person outside very clearly.
The only thing she could be sure of was that it was a person, not the monster that Xu Ying had mentioned before.
But on this point, she felt relieved.
They're just humans, nothing to be afraid of.
But she didn't want to alert the enemy.
So, until the owner of the eye left, she didn't move and kept pretending to be asleep.
And now, the people outside should be gone.
But... this is really unusual.
Xu Ying had told her before that due to the special nature of this space, most people would subconsciously stay away from it and would not be able to get close to it.
But the person outside the window just now can come closer here.
Even peeked at her directly from the third-story window!
There is no ladder outside the villa. Did that person... just climb on the wall
… Shee!
Why do I feel so perverted...
However, Xu Ying also told her that the villa itself was a building that was difficult to destroy and enter.
Just like her tree house on the ground, it is not easy for others to enter without the owner's permission.
The building materials of the villa are all materials with super protective capabilities. It was originally the shelter that Xu Xin built for Xu Ying. Naturally, it is extremely safe and as difficult to break into as the Crystal House.
Even if you enter, the doors and windows in the villa are completely locked and cannot be used without permission.
Therefore, Li Wenxi in the house was not too worried about the guy outside.
She still trusts the defensive capabilities of this villa.
But being peeped at still makes people feel a little uncomfortable!
As a result, she was completely sleepless now.
She looked through the gap in the curtains again, and after making sure that no one was peeping at her again, she carefully sat up from the bed, and walked barefoot to the window without wearing shoes.
He touched the backpack and found the loaded crossbow inside.
The explosive crossbow gave her a greater sense of security.
She took out the crossbow, then gently pulled aside the curtains and looked out.
Fortunately, no face suddenly appeared and looked into her eyes.
There is no one outside.
She hesitated for a moment and finally did not unlock the window to open it.
Although she felt that the person had left, it was still better to be cautious.
She doesn't have any strong fighting ability, and the explosive crossbow can cause losses to both the enemy and us if it fails at close range.
What if that guy is still waiting outside...
A scene emerged in her mind.
At this moment, a person was crawling on the wall near the window, waiting for her to open the window and then come in directly!
Thinking of this, she shuddered slightly.
"Haha... I don't think so..." She laughed twice.
You are really scaring yourself.
She calmed down and looked into the distance.
It was already morning.
The town at the foot of the mountain gradually became populated.
More people were walking on the street.
On the elevated road not far away, vehicles began to move back and forth.
It’s barely six o’clock now, right
The people here are really hardworking.
However, she couldn't use her time sense to think about these people's schedules. Maybe there was a time difference
Maybe for the people below, it is already seven or eight in the morning.
Who knows? Anyway, it won’t get dark, so you can set the time any way you want.
"Forget it, I won't sleep anymore!"
She simply opened all the curtains.
The room became bright again.
With the light, she no longer felt the slight panic she had felt before.
"What are you afraid of? You can't get in anyway, but..."
She sat back on the bed and pondered for a moment, "Who on earth could it be? Was it... those lackeys? Oh, why hasn't Yingying come back yet? I'm really... anxious being alone."
"It would be nice if there was a dog in the yard. When Yingying comes back, I'll ask her to tie a few dogs in the yard so they can bark when someone comes!"
She would still feel mentally exhausted if she didn't sleep, so she could only take out an orange from her backpack and start peeling it.
"You should eat less of this... But never mind, it has genetic medicine on it anyway."
…
“… How come something happened down there too?” Xu Ying said in distress.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xin was surprised by her sudden words.
"Um... It's okay, it's just a small matter." Xu Ying waved her hand immediately.
Just kidding, if her brother knew that Li Wenxi's residence had been found, she would probably be scolded...
Fortunately, the villa is very strong, like a fortress. There is no danger as long as my sister-in-law doesn't come out.
There's no need to rush back.
Then she shook her head again.
No, no, this is not her brother, he shouldn’t scold her.
well…
"So, do you understand everything about my situation?" Shi Wanyun said softly.
She had just told Xu Ying all her experiences by pressing their foreheads together.
She was indeed a little annoyed when she was woken up by Xu Xin knocking on the door and saw a strange girl when she walked out.
She clearly told him not to tell anyone else, but before even the evening was over, he brought someone over and asked her to use her ability to share her memories.
This is so disrespectful, even if you could just hold on for a few days!
But when she was told that the strange girl was Xu Xin's sister and a person from another time and space, she was shocked.
No wonder this girl looks a bit like Xu Xin...
But another time and space or something...
Xu Xinke hasn't told her about this yet.
However, the situation was urgent. Although she felt a little dissatisfied and confused, she still listened to Xu Xin's request and shared her memories with Xu Ying.
"Okay, I understand." Xu Ying immediately became serious.
"What's the catch?"
“… What a great harvest.” Xu Ying rubbed her brows and revealed a bitter expression. “That monster… is the one I least want to face. It’s probably the most difficult one to deal with.”
"… So it is indeed a being that traveled from your time and space?"
"Yes, 100%." Xu Ying sighed, "This is really a serious matter. Is the earth going to end?"
"What are you talking about?"
Xu Xin really wanted to slap her on the head, but thinking that this was not his sister, he resisted the urge and just raised his hand slightly.
When Xu Ying saw his move, she subconsciously dodged backwards.
Then the two looked at each other.
Then they all laughed out loud.
"Haha, you really are... still my brother!"
"You are good at hiding." Xu Xin said with a smile.
"Hmph, you can still hide after being beaten for hundreds of years." Xu Ying glanced at Shi Wanyun.
"Haven't you seen her?" Xu Xin asked.
Xu Ying shook her head: "No, I really haven't seen it."
"Do you understand her abilities?" Xu Xin asked.
"Well... it's not a very difficult technique." Xu Ying touched her forehead which had just been pushed and said, "I've heard of it before, but this is definitely the first time I've encountered it."
Xu Xin frowned slightly: "Didn't you say before that special abilities are given by the chips of your team members' characteristics? Then what about her ability? Is it also a biochip?"
“It’s hard to say.”
Xu Ying looked at Shi Wanyun, who was a little confused.
"It's not necessarily that only our small team has special abilities. Our organization had tens of thousands of people in the beginning, and there were also other strong teams among them. Her predecessor might have been a member of other strong teams. So the chip is also special. This possibility is the most likely." She spread her hands and said.
Xu Xin glanced at Shi Wanyun, then said to Xu Ying: "Don't you have the ability to... detect the chip in the brain?"
"Ah, this... After the biochip is implanted in the brain, it will be absorbed by the brain tissue and become a part of the brain after it takes effect. Even if I have that ability, I can't detect it." Xu Ying looked at Xu Xin innocently.
"Okay." Xu Xin shook his head.
In this situation, he still wants to confirm the origins of the people around him.
Even if it's someone you can trust, it would be more reassuring to confirm their origins.
"So, what are you talking about?" Shi Wanyun spoke.
She felt offended by the way the brother and sister in front of her looked at her and discussed with her, but what they said piqued her interest.
Something like a chip implanted in the brain...
Did she have a chip implanted in her brain
"Huh? She doesn't know yet?" Xu Ying looked at Shi Wanyun in surprise, "Didn't you tell anyone else?"
"I did, but I didn't have time to tell her. So what did you find out?"
Xu Ying did not answer, but looked at Shi Wanyun: "She can really be trusted, right?"
Before Xu Xin could say anything, Shi Wanyun stood up and said, "I'm going back to sleep first. I just slept for an hour."
Then she glanced at Xu Xin.
From her eyes, Xu Xin read what she wanted to express.
She wanted Xu Xin to explain it to her later and tell her the things she didn't know.
"Well, go to bed first, I'll explain it to you later."
"Yeah." Shi Wanyun nodded and returned to the second bedroom.
"Brother, this is it."
As soon as the door of the second bedroom was closed, Xu Ying spoke.
"Since you have been targeted by that monster, at least during the period of time when you are protecting the World Tree, don't leave Crystal City like you did just now!"
She grabbed Xu Xin's arm.
"That monster is the most dangerous! We can't guess what it will do next!"
"Who... is it?" Xu Xin's mind flashed with the disgusting monster that was somewhat similar to humans in body structure but very different in every aspect.
"… It is the descendant of the captain of the fleet that invaded Earth." Xu Ying said in a deep voice.
"The descendant of the fleet captain?" Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly. "The fleet captain is the commander of the war of aggression against Earth?"
"Yes, he is also the boss of all monsters after the earth was colonized." Xu Ying nodded.
"Oh... Prince?" Xu Xin was a little surprised.
This status is quite high.
"Well... it shouldn't be the prince in this world." Xu Ying frowned.
"Well, it's not an outsider. But I guess it replaced its original self, so doesn't that mean it has become the prince?"
"No...it's a new generation monster." Xu Ying looked up at Xu Xin, pursed her lips, and the corners of her eyes twitched slightly.
"So... a monster that was born after the invasion war?" Xu Xin nodded, "That's also..."
"It's... the offspring of a monster and a human." Xu Ying took a deep breath and gritted her teeth.
Monsters and humans...
Xu Xin was stunned at first, then his eyes twitched slightly.
The offspring of monsters and... humans
Imagine that scene...
Too beautiful to look at.
