Although Baishi and Du Linbiao were registered in school and would take exams, they did not usually go to school. Grandpa thought it was a waste of time.
He invited elites from all walks of life to serve as tutors, so the two of them spent extra time at home.
Before time travel, when Shiraishi started reading novels, the online literary world had already gone through a purge. Most of the works whose protagonists were not positive enough had quietly disappeared.
So in the stories he read, the protagonists were basically good people, or at least pretended to be good people. Du Linbiao, who grew up listening to these stories, was of course inevitably affected and always wanted to be a great hero.
One day, when Baishi was flipping through those strange experiment books, Du Linbiao came over mysteriously and said that he had caught a suspicious maid. He suspected that she was a spy sent by the opponent to steal secrets - although Du Linbiao actually did not know.
Does your family have a rival family?
Du Linbiao did not alert the bodyguard, because if the bodyguard intervened, he would not be able to get involved so smoothly.
Baishi didn't expect that his grandfather's strict screening would allow suspicious persons to sneak in. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Du Linbiao was suspicious after hearing the spy story, so he wrongly accused the poor maid.
With this thought in mind, Shiraishi went with him to have a look.
The suspicious maid was locked in the tool room by Du Linbiao.
When the two of them opened the door, she was leaning against the corner, planting mushrooms. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Shiraishi felt that the humidity in the room was higher than elsewhere. He suspected that if he picked up the maid in the corner, it might be true.
can see mushrooms behind her.
Even though she was sitting on the ground, it could be seen that the maid was petite.
As soon as Shiraishi walked in, she turned her head warily. Her short hair that reached her shoulders made her look very young, almost like a child laborer who had been illegally recruited.
The "child laborer" had no expression on his face, and there seemed to be an inorganic light in his eyes.
But when she turned her head, the subtle changes in her eyes seemed to be able to tell her emotions. For example, when she saw Bai Shi, her eyes moved slightly. At this moment, she looked three-quarters guilty, three-quarters worried, and four-quarters emotional. How could this precise division be done?
See how...
Not very human.
Bai Shi glanced at her and asked Du Linbiao: "Why do you think she is suspicious?"
"I saw her secretly looking through the trash can in the backyard." Du Linbiao felt that his suspicion was well-founded. "She must have wanted to judge and deduce our living habits, favorite items, and even steal hair and nails through the things inside.
It’s convenient to put a curse on us.”
"……"garbage can?
The maid who was growing mushrooms in the corner looked straight at Shiraishi and took a deep breath, as if she wanted to spit a bubble.
Du Linbiao pushed the white stone out of the door very vigilantly. At the same time, he grabbed a tray from the side and blocked it in front of his eyes. He suspected that the maid wanted to spit out a poisonous needle or a hidden weapon such as a date stone to launch a surprise attack.
But no.
The suspicious maid just hesitated for a moment, but in the end she didn't vomit anything. Instead, she raised her hand and retorted in sign language: [I didn't].
Shiraishi learned a little bit of sign language when he was doing charity work with a group in his previous life. Although he has almost forgotten it, he can still understand simple sentences.
Du Linbiao hasn't mastered the relevant skills yet? But he finally understood that it was sign language.
He was startled for a moment: "Mute?" Apparently he couldn't understand the strict employment system at home? Why would he choose someone like this?
"A wealthy family." Bai Shi's deliberately lowered voice came from behind, "Only mutes can keep secrets."
"Oh!" Du Linbiao suddenly realized, and suddenly felt that his family seemed very powerful.
"...I'm joking." Baishi said it smoothly, but Du Linbiao actually believed it again.
Shiraishi was really afraid that if he didn't explain clearly, the male classmate in front of him who was in the second period of middle school would replace all the servants with deaf-mute people for the sake of family integrity? So he had to make up a more serious explanation: "Maybe it's just that grandpa is...
What rights protection activities have you participated in? Helping people find jobs.”
"Oh..." Du Linbiao obviously still liked the explanation just now.
The gap from ideal to reality made him a little unmotivated.
When he came back to his senses, Shiraishi had already left with the maid.
Only then did Du Linbiao remember his purpose of bringing Bai Shi here - to discover the truth behind the maid's strange behavior.
He hurriedly tried to find someone, but as soon as he left the corridor, he was stopped by his tutor and dragged away to training.
Shiraishi's learning content is different from Du Linbiao's, so they won't take classes together.
Du Linbiao wants to spend more time on physical exercise and fighting classes? Shiraishi doesn't need to, because what he learns is more theoretical.
In fact, Grandpa treated both of them equally at first, but soon, he and the fighting coach discovered that Shiraishi's physical fitness had its limits, and that limit was very low. No matter how hard he practiced, he could only reach the level of a slightly stronger passerby.
This is really abnormal, because the skills of real passers-by will also improve qualitatively after training. At this point, Shiraishi is simply not the same species as them.
Grandpa did not give up at first. After all, Shiraishi's talents in other areas were obvious to all. He was not as smart as a child. This was a descendant who could perfectly inherit his career. How could he be physically inferior to an ordinary passerby?
Du Linbiao didn't think there was a problem. He looked at his grandfather's ugly face and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't this normal? There must be restrictions on going down to earth to experience calamities, otherwise it can still be called..."
"Shut up!" Grandpa threw the very talkative Du Linbiao to the coach, and he personally taught his little grandson, who had high hopes for him.
After working hard for half a month, he received a half-dead grandson and a physical examination report that showed that his health was not as good as before due to excessive exercise.
Grandpa was silent for several days and reluctantly accepted his fate. He added some firearms classes to Shiraishi and changed the fighting time to other schoolwork. At this point, it was just like that no matter how hard he practiced, it was better to save time for other things.
So while Du Linbiao was sweating with the coach, Shiraishi could pretend to read the information and actually sit on the sofa in the bedroom and eat snacks.
He took the mysterious maid captured by Du Linbiao into the house, locked the door, and looked at the mute maid who was staring at his cake for a while: "System?"
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but a virtual [!] seemed to pop up above the maid’s head, and her eyes seemed to be frightened, and radio waves flashed across her eyes.
"..." It seems that it should be her.
He's still alive.
Shiraishi felt that there should be the joy of meeting again after a long absence, but when he remembered that the person in front of him seemed to have turned over the trash can, he unconsciously leaned back a little: "You must have been miserable."
The maid still had no expression.
But because there were deep tears in her eyes, she looked like "Q-Q".
