In the alley pit, two women stood facing each other.
The flying dust and gravel returned to the original place as the wind gradually settled down, and hit the masonry ground, making bursts of crackling sounds.
Shining's whole body was wrapped in magical light, and it looked extremely bright in the deep shadows of the alley.
Although there is no trace of magic on Skadi's body, the big sword in her hand that is completely inconsistent with her figure is extremely visually impactful.
After a short exchange of swords, both of them knew that the enemy on the opposite side was definitely not mediocre, and naturally they would not be careless at all. However, for some reasons, Shining and Skadi both stopped the confrontation in a tacit agreement and did not continue.
Expand the battlefield.
The Shining is due to the influence of 'that battle' a long time ago, which makes her unable to hold the sword normally as before. She seems to be very strong, but it can only burst out in an instant, and she will be unable to do it in a protracted battle.
Skadi did it for the purpose of tracking, fearing that the battle would make too much noise and might accidentally attract Han Baiyi.
Therefore, while the two maintained a confrontation, Skadi used his peripheral vision to peek in the direction where Han Baiyi was going away.
The Shining seemed to have noticed her gaze, his face tightened, and he stared at her.
"For insurance purposes, I ask again...who are you? What are your intentions, Mr. Bai?"
Skadi remained expressionless, but his face turned slightly red.
'Attempt...there is no intention.'
Skadi muttered silently in his heart, but his face showed a standard bounty hunter attitude, holding up his sword in a gesture of refusal, without any intention of negotiating.
——It's not that she doesn't want to say it, but that she is really stupid. In addition, it's not Han Baiyi who is in front of her, and Skadi herself doesn't know how to express it.
Shining frowned slightly.
She has seen this girl several times these days.
Every time, he would secretly hold a small black notebook and secretly memorize something. A few times, he even lurked on the Namo.
This time, it was because the business relationship between Mr. Bai and Mr. Silver Gray was huge and there was no room for failure, and the girl was lurking too close this time, so The Shining took action to test.
Unexpectedly, this girl actually has some abilities.
At first she thought the other party was a reporter with a keen sense of smell.
However, after seeing the opponent's strength, Shining realized that although the opponent's tracking technology was not very good, in terms of absolute strength, it was indeed possible that someone had been sent to assassinate their boss.
With this in mind, Shining began to silently gather strength to build Originium technology.
Although she has begun to hate holding the sword since that incident, she can endure it if it is for Mr. Bai.
Skadi felt as if he was riding a tiger with a hard time getting off, and felt a little hesitant in his heart.
Because she had been following Han Baiyi for a long time, Skadi knew that this woman was also his companion.
Although I don’t know the strength of the other party, but... if I accidentally kill her, it’s impossible for that man to let me become a companion, right?
This is not because Skadi is arrogant, but except for Han Baiyi himself, she has never seen anyone who can fight in these years.
Therefore, after being raped on the ground by Han Baiyi, Skadi's feelings towards Han Baiyi were very complicated.
It's not a matter of whether she likes it or not, it's just a very special and rare situation where she suddenly wakes up after being tortured.
Skadi wants to be his companion.
Or the kind that will never die before she dies.
Thinking this way, Skadi struggled with difficulty for a while. Looking at Shining's serious expression, he suddenly lowered the blade of the raised sword and plunged it into the ground with a loud sound like a nurse giving a spanking needle to a child.
.
Show friendliness.
Shining was startled and didn't quite understand why the opponent suddenly gave up the fight, but he didn't immediately lower his guard, and just lowered his sword slightly.
Skadi hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the entrance of the alley.
"Ah, it's Skadi."
The sound that had been inexplicably ringing in her dreams for the past few nights suddenly appeared in her ears, making Skadi's little ears tingle involuntarily, and her body suddenly became a little stiff and did not dare to move.
But her rosy little face still maintained the fixed expression, and her bright red pupils were slightly dilated.
Han Baiyi greeted casually.
When they were outside the Penguin Logistics Base before, he and Skadi had never known each other before. Although the fight was a bit inexplicable, after all, there was no loss and some advantages were gained by the way.
You see, this is tolerance that belongs only to winners and losers.
While saying this, Han Baiyi motioned to Shining to put down his sword:
"It's okay, she is not an enemy, we have known each other before."
Hearing what Han Baiyi said, Shining followed Mr. Bai's order and sheathed his sword, but still guarded Han Baiyi's side tightly, staring at Skadi.
After hearing Han Baiyi's words, Skadi's heart jumped wildly, and even she could feel that her body temperature was rising at an extremely fast speed.
'He still remembers my name!'
Just this little bit made her inexplicably happy.
'Not an enemy, that is... Is there any chance that I can become his companion?'
He was obviously thinking about very happy things, but his face still had a cold expression.
Skadi is not good at expressing his emotions with facial expressions and words. In addition, he is forced by various reasons and has not communicated with others for many years, so he obviously wants to communicate well and become this man's companion.
But when it came to actually facing Han Baiyi, she suddenly felt at a loss.
'How do you make friends...how do you make friends?'
Han Baiyi walked straight in from the alley and came to Skadi with his habitual gentle smile.
"I looked for you after that time. Those bounty hunters didn't know where you were. Were the infected people not injured when they stormed the city?"
Han Baiyi didn't pay much attention to Skadi's expression and just asked casually as if chatting.
He had no intention of making friends with Skadi.
After all, he had just finished a fight two days ago, and the main purpose of what he was doing now was to set up a tolerant and generous persona for himself, for the Shining to see.
As for Skadi…
Han Baiyi's impression of her is basically that of a silver-haired royal sister, taciturn, with a mysterious background, strong strength, a loner...etc., etc. She is a character with a particularly high difficulty index in the opening strategy.
So I basically have no hope.
After all, recruiting people into a team is like falling in love. You have to know yourself first, and then choose a partner. The end result of flirting with someone will probably be labeled as a straight man by a group of people who are beyond the reach of eight hundred people.
cancer label, and then asked Pohu a question, "What does it feel like to be raped by a straight man?"
Han Baiyi, as an eight-hundred-year-old straight man with an enhanced version, is very self-aware in order to protect his fragile glass heart.
But he didn't expect that after hearing his words, Skadi's whole body seemed to be on fire. His little face was dyed with a rich blush, his bright red pupils expanded slightly, and he stood firmly in place, lowering his head slightly.
, his voice was like a mosquito when he spoke.
"No... I went back to the base to rest, then went to Second Street to eat, then went back to the base to take a shower, and ate canned beef there, and then I entered the safe house to avoid the infected, and then...
....”
Although the voice was very low and a bit nagging, Han Baiyi could barely hear it, but he just didn't understand why Skadi looked so shy.
Could it be...that he is already so handsome?
Han Baiyi suddenly doubted his self-knowledge and wondered if his old ideas should be updated.
In just such an inadvertent moment, Skadi kept thinking about the color of her bra she changed into after taking a shower after having a barbecue last night from the first afternoon after they parted.
What makes Han Baiyi a little horrified is that when he listened carefully, he found that out of his twenty-four hours a day, there were actually twenty-three hours related to him. He confessed to his stalking crime and even talked about it.
Yes, I'm still a little blushing.
Isn’t this the cold-blooded Skadi I know?!
Skadi was still expressionless, and only the facial rendering effects that changed from time to time allowed Han Baiyi to see her emotional changes.
The ears on both sides were pink and tender, red and smoking, and a pair of crimson eyes quietly raised from time to time, glancing in the direction of Han Baiyi, and then immediately lowered their heads. The silver hair on the top of the head was swaying, and Skadi also
Pretend like nothing happened.
Probably...shy?
Little thing, you are such a cute stalker, but I, the one being followed, am very passive in every sense of the word, you know?
Han Baiyi suppressed the desire to complain in his heart and analyzed it calmly.
Everything has its pros and cons. Although this stalker has never been discovered, the fantasy world is now short of manpower. There are as many formal combat professionals as there are. Naturally, a strong guard like Skadi has caught the wrong one and not released it.
Pass.
As for the possible impact in the future, Han Baiyi thought about it for less than a second and gave up thinking directly.
Love it however you want, and leave the rest of your affairs to your future self.
He ran through the thoughts in his mind. When he came to his senses, Skadi was still talking with his head lowered.
After hearing half of it, Han Baiyi couldn't help but interrupt him:
"Scadi, you just said...that you climbed into the Nanwu and got into the ceiling of the bathroom in my room through the vent in the city, right?"
Shining, who was standing next to Han Baiyi, looked at Skadi, as if looking at a fool.
Skadi, who had been blushing, lowering his head and chattering, suddenly became quiet.
The crimson pupils were trembling in the eye sockets, and the whole person was in a state of great self-doubt.
——Why did I tell you everything!?
She just reacted.
The muscles all over his body began to stiffen involuntarily, and his little head was raised tremblingly. Although his face was still expressionless, the color of his face suddenly changed from pomegranate red to bone white, and there seemed to be something flickering in his eye sockets.
of.
From his appearance to his life, everything seemed to turn gloomy in an instant.
Han Baiyi looked dumbfounded.
For a reliable adult man like him, teasing a little girl is really a very relaxing thing.
But the jokes must be appropriate.
"If you really want to find me, why don't you just submit your resume to Illusion? It's not a good habit to follow."
Han Baiyi stood in the middle of the alley, with the bright sunshine leaking from between the buildings behind him. His smile was gentle, as if it was as warm as his palm touching his heart.
"As a partner, you are a very reliable choice."
"I will seriously consider it."
Hearing this sentence, Skadi was startled at first, and then raised his head with a look of disbelief. Although he was still expressionless, his face was no longer gray, but people could feel the obvious changes, and his crimson pupils
Staring at Han Baiyi blankly.
"Can I be your companion?"
The tone of his voice gradually rose up unconsciously, as if he was suppressing some emotion.
"Of course."
Han Baiyi answered with a smile.
"But, I will bring disaster to others!"
It seemed that it was too natural. Skadi suddenly felt uneasy and emphasized the sentence very forcefully.
"Then I will let them experience what a real disaster is."
Han Baiyi's words were not sonorous, but he had a smile on his face, as if they were just the uncle and aunt downstairs fanning themselves in the sun, chatting as usual.
Even the voice is warm and soft.
But Skadi felt as if something was hit in his chest with a bang.
Countless thoughts and memories were like pieces of paper blown away by the wind, my mind was both chaotic and clear, the sounds in my ears were slightly blurry, and my heart was beating faster, as if I felt that I was truly alive for the first time.
"In this case, we are companions."
Skadi's voice was slightly hoarse, and his face remained expressionless.
‘You should really submit your resume to me.’
Han Baiyi thought this in his heart, and he is still a little confused in his mind.
But it could be heard that Skadi seemed very happy.
Before he could say anything, Skadi suddenly took a few steps forward and looked up at him.
Shining stood aside and was about to stop Skadi from moving forward, but stopped again and stared blankly at the scene below.
"Open your mouth."
Skadi almost pressed against Han Baiyi's body, and then suddenly said this.
Han Baiyi was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what she wanted to do, but his body still obeyed.
"ah."
Just after opening a small arc, Han Baiyi saw Skadi taking two quick steps, standing on tiptoes, and holding up her long silver hair with her right hand.
She stretched out her neck as white as ivory, her crimson eyes gradually came closer to her lips, and her soft silver hair floated in the air.
"Chirp."
Before Han Baiyi had time to feel the touch of warmth, he felt a pain on the tip of his tongue, as if he had been bitten, and his tongue was forced to be pulled out.
It's a little sweet, but also a little salty like the sea breeze.
But his mind suddenly turned into a pot of chaos, gurgling and rumbling.
On the contrary, Skadi, who had been shy just now, now looked refreshed, with a faint smile on Sanwu's face.
She took two steps back, her crimson eyes narrowed slightly, like two crescent moons, her two little hands were behind her back, her little head was tilted, and her voice was soft.
