It was five o'clock in the morning, the sky was dim, the light snow was still falling, and there was no sound of birds outside the window. Xiao Zhenyun was suddenly awakened by a hurried knock on the door.
He turned over in bed irritably, the cold air poured into the bed, Xiao Zhenyun couldn't help but pull the quilt and curl up. He was so sleepy that he didn't want to open his eyes, didn't want to talk, even the frown was very slight.
"It's Xiao Nian, I'll go open the door." Si Di's voice came to my ears. There was no trace of sleepiness in his soft and low voice, and I don't know if he hadn't slept all night.
But soon, someone who must have not slept all night rushed in, trying to yell but also trying to control the volume, the effect was a little funny: "Stop sleeping, Xiao Zhenyun! Wake up, something big has happened!"
"What happened? Did Hedgehog get into trouble?" Si Di's expression was serious. He knew that before nightfall, Xiao Zhenyun and Xiao Nian had discussed that they should go find Hedgehog first. He also remembered that Hedgehog's cause of death in the novel was related to the professor. Even though Hedgehog had escaped death before, he was worried that after Hedgehog was linked to Yaozhen's affairs, he would go back to the ending in the original novel.
"Hedgehog got in trouble?" Xiao Nian said angrily, "I wish he got in trouble! Xiao Zhenyun, hurry up, if we don't stop him, he'll take Duan Fei's team and destroy the professor's lair!"
Xiao Zhenyun resisted the urge to get up and lifted the quilt, but was frozen by the sub-zero temperature and shrank back, revealing only an impatient face outside the quilt. "Tell me more."
Xiao Nian quickly expanded the code interface and dragged out the converted video, combining the picture and text, to tell Xiao Zhenyun and Si Di the information he had obtained after typing the code all night -
Hedgehog has been acting alone since he first entered Yao Town. He quietly lurked among the townspeople and soon discovered something strange about the terminal, and took the initiative to shut down the communication. In the following days, he witnessed Si Chu's team being defeated one by one by the professor's camp, and Hedgehog's choice was to turn around and run away without taking any rescue measures.
At first, he even had the inclination to defect to the professor, but finally gave up for unknown reasons.
"It's very much his personal way of doing things." Xiao Zhenyun said, and Si Di added: "Does he want to wait until the Fiery Team is completely wiped out before descending from the sky as a savior to save people from the water and fire?"
Xiao Nian: "...You have already guessed him."
The subsequent situation was indeed as Si Di said. Hedgehog hid in Yao Town and secretly investigated on his own, and caught up with the progress of the entire Fire Team. Although he had completed many cooperative tasks in the more than one year since he joined the Wind Team, as a dark sentinel, he was still best at acting alone.
By the way, during the nearly one month he stayed in Yao Town, he became good friends with the owner of the guesthouse, and got discounts on food and accommodation, and free midnight snacks from time to time. In addition, Hedgehog also got the owner's mother, and he learned a lot of information from the old lady, a local intelligence expert in Yao Town.
"When did the hedgehog become so socially skilled? He can please everyone, young or old." Xiao Zhenyun asked. Si Di raised his lips in amusement, "Didn't we discuss this before? He can easily please anyone. If you think he's arrogant and deserves a beating, then he's doing this on purpose to annoy you."
