Dai Tianming pushed Liu Ci forward behind him and explained:
"I've thought about it for a while. If this jade thief really followed the plot written by Liu Bian, then some details may be able to provide you with some help."
Liu Ci responded in agreement, and then recounted the plot details of this story in detail.
By the time he finished speaking, time was almost up. Dai Tianming's originally relaxed expression became tense again as the night got darker:
"Teacher Yu, Lao Jing, no matter what, you must pay attention to your safety. Liu Bian and I won't disturb you here. We won't sleep tonight. If you need anything, just call out."
Compared to Dai Tianming's nervousness, Liu Ci's expression was more worried.
He looked confused for a long time, but before leaving, he finally turned to look at Yu and Jing:
"You two, I have a heartfelt request. If Xiaotang really shows up, can you... try not to hurt him?"
Yu Lin had noticed the abnormality in Liu Ci's expression from just now, and it was only now that the other party finally revealed his purpose.
She didn't say whether she would agree or not, but instead asked, "Screenwriter Liu should really like the characters he writes, right?"
When Liu Ci mentioned the characters in his works, his eyebrows instantly softened:
"There is no author who doesn't like the characters he writes. If it's really Xiaotang, then I guess he's not a vicious monster. I'll ask you two to let him go as you see fit."
From Liu Ci's words, Yu Lin keenly extracted the abnormality, but she did not speak to expose it. Instead, she pretended to be emotional and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Teacher Jing is not a ruthless person, he must be measured."
Jingyan, who was once again pulled out as a shield, had become accustomed to taking on everything on his own, so he nodded at Liu Ci in line with Yu Lin's words.
After receiving a positive answer, Liu Ci seemed to be relieved, and finally left the storage room with Dai Tianming.
After the door of the storage room was closed, Yu Lin's expression relaxed.
Jingyan leaned against the wall and said casually, "Liu Ci is hiding something from us."
Yu Lin rarely refuted Jing Yan's point of view. She glanced at the night outside the storage room window and said:
"His attitude is as if he knows that 'Xiaotang' really exists."
Of course, no one can make a conclusion until the real body of the jade thief appears.
Finally, the time came to one o'clock in the morning.
The compass pointer that Yu Lin had taken out in advance and placed in the window suddenly started to tremble violently.
The two people who were originally sitting by the bed and leaning against the wall to recharge their batteries suddenly stood up and alerted themselves.
The window that was originally closed was now half-open, swaying back and forth slightly due to the wind. Although the compass that could detect evil spirits was shaking its needle crazily, no monsters appeared.
The next second, a slightly sweet smell drifted from the window.
Obviously, this was the way that caused Dai Tianming and Liu Ci to fall into a coma.
Yu Lin didn't hesitate at all, just pulled off the pendant from her waist and flicked it, and the Mingxuan Fan instantly appeared in her hand.
It seemed that he was afraid of the fluctuations in spiritual power produced when the artifact appeared. In an instant, the sweet fragrance became more intense.
Yu Lin didn't look back. He took the time to say hello to Jing Yan while doing his work: "Stand back and cover your mouth and nose."
She raised her wrist slightly, then held a fan with one hand and fanned it forward.
A gust of wind formed by spiritual power swept from the surroundings, instantly sweeping away the sweet smell in the room.
