Xu Qiuyan said there was a fragment on him.
I turned to Xu Qiuyan. "Can you be sure?"
"I can, but..." Xu Qiuyan trailed off.
"But what?" I asked.
"It seems I wasn't the one who sensed it."
"What do you mean?" Her words left me confused. She hadn't sensed it herself?
"The Doctor told me. Just now, when you were staring at him, the Doctor's voice sounded in my ear!"
My eyes widened. What the hell? Since she hadn't sensed it at all, why had the Doctor brought them here? Wasn't that completely unnecessary?
But she quickly added, "The Doctor said he had to use Ye Jinghong and me as vessels to sense the fragment's presence. So he told you not to blame him, and especially not to curse him!"
Her words left me speechless. The Doctor had me figured out completely.
I sighed. "Did the Doctor tell you how I'm supposed to get the fragment from him?"
"Convince him to give it to you, or kill him. What you do is up to you."
Xu Qiuyan might as well have said nothing. In the end, it was still up to me.
I looked at the giant. "Can you understand me?"
"I'm hungry!" He actually spoke, but the first thing he said was that he was hungry.
"I have food, but you need to trade something for it. Do you understand?"
"I'm hungry!" He ignored my question and simply repeated himself.
I hadn't thought much of it before, but when he said "I'm hungry" again, I suddenly had the illusion that he was looking at me like I was delicious food.
Damn it, was he really planning to treat me as a meal?
Ye Jinghong said, "Xiaobai, be careful. There's something wrong with the way he's looking at you.
