Glancing inside along the opening of the bag, the man just stood there for several seconds before reacting.
The contents inside the bag were indeed stones, but they all looked black and gray, like pebbles picked up casually from the ground.
"Taotao, isn't it filled with gold and stone..."
After hearing the man's words, the little guy's eyes widened slightly, as if he was a little confused.
"How can it be?"
The man was still a little angry at first, but when he saw the little girl's own expression, he was very surprised, and his mood suddenly relaxed a little.
Forget it, maybe she picked up the wrong bag.
If she gets angry with him now, she might not even be able to get back the last thing she has on her.
The man thought like this and recalled the crystal stone Taotao gave him for the first time.
Since she carries this kind of crystal with her, maybe she knows someone who has this kind of power.
If there is such an outstanding person beside her, then the identity of the little guy must be extraordinary. After all, most of these people with high-level powers work in the upper echelons of the alliance... or are members of the noble royal family.
And that kind of person is not something he, a little star thief, can afford to offend.
The man knew this very well, so he sorted out his mood in a short period of time.
"Well……"
After Taotao heard what he said, she felt a little sad on her face. But she soon smiled again and said:
"Maybe Taotao took the wrong bag~"
When the little girl said this, there was a sense of grievance and self-blame in her tone. Her beautiful little face was full of frustration and she looked very pitiful.
Even the hard-hearted man softened his heart a little after facing this appearance.
"It doesn't matter. I'll ask you for it after I return to the alliance. It's hard work for you to make such a trip."
Today's weather is not very good, and he has not forgotten the way the little guy ran from the alliance panting just now.
Taotao nodded, stuffed the bag back into her pocket, then looked at him reluctantly and asked obediently:
"Then when will Shushu Sen return to the Alliance?"
The man is not too wary of the little guy, after all, he looks like a helpless kid.
Besides, she still has so many crystals on her body, and she is still such an enthusiastic being.
It's just... if it's a pity, she can only blame herself for seeing the wrong person and not recognizing herself.
With this thought in mind, the man spoke vaguely for a while.
"It should take three or four hours. After all, after the things here are over, I have to go to the underground of the alliance."
After hearing this, Taotao didn't ask any more questions. She looked up at him obediently and said seriously:
"Okay~ Then Taotao is waiting for you in the alliance~"
A soldier on the other side had already noticed him and turned out of the alley. He nodded to the man. Although there was no trace, he was still seen by the man.
He also gestured in that direction, then looked back and heard the little guy's voice, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, you go back."
After Taotao heard this, she quickly turned away and the little voice disappeared before her eyes.
The man had not cared about these details before, but this time he waited until the child's figure disappeared, then turned to look at the soldier who had been urging him for a long time.
"Why are you urging me? Isn't this coming?"
The soldier's face became a little embarrassed, but he still didn't say anything. He quickly waved to him and said:
"Boss, we found a few young people here."
After hearing the specific amount, the man's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Walk--"
The group of people quickly walked down the alley. Refugees from other places passed by, but no one dared to take a look.
I don't know how long it took before the man finally walked out of the alley with a few soldiers, but there were a few less people behind him. He was obviously left there to guard the others.
-
On the other side, Taotao quickly ran towards the main street after getting the things.
When Cheng Chencheng saw that everything was going well, he had already been in front to take care of her. When he saw the little one running towards him, he stretched out his hands to hug her into his arms.
"well done."
He picked up Taotao and rubbed the back of her head heavily with his big hands.
Tao was also very happy and handed the thing she just took out from the man's waist into Cheng Chencheng's hand.
"Ge Ge, just introduce me~"
Cheng Chen stared at the shape of the key for a long time and found that the size of the key was almost the same as the lock in his memory, so he relaxed a little.
"Okay, let's go quickly."
Taotao nodded and followed him towards the direction of the alliance. At the same time, she remembered what the man had just said to her on the way.
"By the way, Gege, that scumbag said he would come to me in three or four hours, and before that he has to go back to the basement."
It was rare for the little guy to remember the man's words clearly. When Cheng Chencheng heard this, his face became a little solemn.
"If that's the case, we have at most an hour and a half."
His pace, which was not slow at first, suddenly sped up. After thinking about it, he simply leaned over and hugged the little guy in his arms, speaking in a somewhat urgent tone as he ran.
"He should have to do a lot of things when he goes to the basement, such as sending his newly found people to the research institute. Well, it should take a lot of time for him to do these things, so we must solve it quickly."
Taotao didn't quite understand it at first, but now she understands it after hearing his explanation.
Neither of them spoke again during the rest of the journey, they just focused on running forward.
【Wow, wow, this scene is so heartwarming.】
[I really feel that this boss has changed a lot since he came to the game. I remember that he really liked teasing Taotao. 】
[Actually, I have always felt that he had no sense of responsibility...]
[More than that, when I saw what Taotao was going to face, I thought he would not show up, because after all, this is just a game. Everyone is here to relax and have fun, so there is no need to worry about these plots.
Too serious, Taotao, as the protagonist, will definitely solve it anyway.】
【Indeed, I am impressed.】
Not long after, Taotao and Cheng Chencheng arrived in the basement together.
Having obtained the key, they did not waste too much time here. They followed the previous route cautiously but quickly to the cell.
However, this time it was not as smooth as before. Along the way, they met many people who were wearing soldiers' clothes but talking carelessly. They looked like a small group without organization and discipline.
Thinking that it was these people who imprisoned the real Alliance officers and soldiers in the dungeon, Cheng Chencheng's mood instantly became a little angry.
