Chapter 742 Using a Scoundrel to Keep People
After Bai Mianmian finished speaking, no one spoke for a while.
Xin Xiao was assessing the likelihood of keeping Bai Mianmian.
Han Feitong and the others felt that with Xin Xiao present, it wasn't their turn to speak, so they all remained silent.
Seeing that no one spoke, Bai Mianmian frowned slightly.
Do they not want to see me off?
Or do you not want to leave?
Upon seeing this, Xin Xiao's heart tightened suddenly, and he quickly said, "Look... how about we wait a little longer? The things we brought back from the research institute haven't been sorted out yet."
This reason should be enough to stall for time.
The longer they delay, the more mental pollution the mushrooms on their heads can purify. Although it's a bit shameless, it's only beneficial for all of them, so he has no choice but to go along with it.
"I didn't intend to leave with you." Bai Mianmian's slightly furrowed brows remained, and her voice was colder and harder than before.
"Uh..." Xin Xiao choked for a moment.
Although he really wanted her to come back with them, did he have to be so blunt in rejecting her?
After mentally grumbling, Xin Xiao still had to patiently explain, "What I mean is, our stuff is mixed up with the research institute's stuff, we need to..."
Bai Mianmian glanced at him unhappily, interrupting him, and said, "Whether you leave your things here to sort them out, or go back and sort them out later, what does that have to do with my leaving?"
Xin Xiao blinked, somewhat bewildered. Suddenly, an incredulous look appeared in his eyes as he looked at Bai Mianmian and asked, "You mean... everything in the research institute is going to be given to us?"
Towards the end, his tone became hesitant, and his voice softened.
He was a little afraid that he had misunderstood.
Bai Mianmian was about to nod directly, but suddenly stopped herself and asked, "Is there a crystal core inside?"
She had consumed a considerable amount of crystal cores from the previous battles.
Although it's a drop in the ocean compared to her total number of crystal cores, it's important to know that her crystal core income has been zero these past few days.
That won't do; the crystal cores still need to generate new revenue.
"...Yes." Xin Xiao momentarily wanted to say he didn't know, so they could stall for time by searching through things.
But considering the consequences, he answered the question honestly.
"Give me those crystal cores, you can keep the rest. As for the purification potion, what you do with it is your business," Bai Mianmian said immediately.
Xin Xiao's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Seeing that he was about to speak again, Bai Mianmian was afraid that he would say that he could only get the crystal core after he had packed his things, so she immediately said, "I'm not in a hurry for the crystal core. I'll come to you for it when I'm done with my work."
Xin Xiao immediately shut up, but her eyes were even brighter than before.
She meant that she would come to them again later, and at that time, could they ask her to purify the spiritual pollution?
"Give me a locator that can find you, or something to contact you." Bai Mianmian said what Xin Xiao wanted to hear, just as he had hoped.
"Okay." Xin Xiao replied quickly, as if afraid that Bai Mianmian would change her mind.
After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize that his reaction was too hasty, and he looked to the side guiltily, saying, "Ahem, I happen to have a new spare AI. It doesn't need to be registered with your real name, so you can use it as soon as you get it."
Bai Mianmian nodded, her gaze darkening slightly as she asked again, "Can you see me out now?"
Xin Xiao had just taken out his new AI from his spatial button when he heard this, and his hand immediately froze in mid-air, alarm bells ringing in his mind.
Then, seemingly oblivious, he pointed to the mushrooms covering his head and asked, "Can I move like this?"
He didn't want to be the one whose every move would have far-reaching consequences.
"Don't stray too far from me. You can do whatever you want," Bai Mianmian said, the dangerous glint in her eyes fading. Xin Xiao was stunned, "..."
Han Feitong and the others were also stunned, "..."
Anything is fine?!
So what about them...?
Seemingly noticing that their expressions were a little off, Bai Mianmian couldn't help but look puzzled.
Xin Xiao wiped his face and stood up with a serious expression. "Um, well, I'll see you out."
Hearing him say that, Bai Mianmian stopped trying to figure out why their expressions were so strange.
She took the smart device handed to her and followed Xin Xiao outside.
The two stepped onto the passage they had come from, one after the other.
As the footsteps of the two faded into the distance, Han Feitong and the others, whose figures stood like statues, couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment. Then, some of them suddenly relaxed their tense bodies.
As soon as they relaxed, some people immediately lay down on the ground or leaned against their companions.
The mushrooms on their heads did not show any signs of unstable supernatural energy despite the shaking of their heads.
So what did it mean that they were so tense and didn't dare to move an inch?
Are they considered physically strong and healthy?
Just as everyone's lips twitched, utterly speechless, the mushrooms on someone's head began to dissipate.
Those who noticed this changed their expressions slightly.
However, when he saw that the mushrooms on his companions' heads were also disappearing, and that he and his companions were all alright, he felt a little relieved.
Before long, all the mushrooms above everyone's heads disappeared.
A glint flashed in Han Feitong's eyes, and she immediately understood what had happened.
The distance between them and Bai Mianmian had exceeded the range of her supernatural abilities.
In the quiet passage, a message from Han Feitong popped up on Xin Xiao's smart screen, saying that the mushrooms on their heads had all disappeared.
Xin Xiao, still sporting a head full of red hats and white mushroom-like spots, immediately understood what was going on.
"Oh, right." Just then, Bai Mianmian's cold voice came from behind.
Xin Xiao paused, his hand hovering over the smart screen.
Bai Mianmian put away the AI that she could now operate skillfully and continued, "There is someone you need to find."
"Tell us what you're saying, and we'll do our best," Xin Xiao assured him.
"A six-year-old little bean, 1.24 meters tall, a D-level psychic, with round and bright eyes..." Bai Mianmian described Ning Anyu's appearance in her memory.
Xin Xiao listened attentively, nodding occasionally, and the outline of the little girl's face in his mind gradually became clearer.
“Yes, she looks a bit like Jiang Ci,” Bai Mianmian added with certainty.
The little girl's face that had just become clear in Xin Xiao's mind instantly vanished.
He looked at Bai Mianmian with a shocked expression, as if to say, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Because the little girl's face that had just flashed through his mind didn't resemble his boss at all!
"She's Jiang Ci's cousin, and she looks like him. What's wrong with that?" Bai Mianmian asked, her eyes narrowing as she saw his ghostly expression.
“…” Xin Xiao remained silent, then nodded slowly under Bai Mianmian’s gaze and said, “No problem.”
The problem is finding the right person.
Because he simply couldn't imagine what a little girl who matched Bai Mianmian's description and looked somewhat like his eldest son would look like.
