The Opening Salvo of the War Between the White-haired Loli and the Ex-girlfriend

"So, is there a reason why you suddenly pulled me into this?"

Looking at the white-haired loli standing in front of him with a serious expression, Bai Zhi was completely bewildered.

The house has three bedrooms and one living room. He allocated one of the secondary bedrooms to this little girl. The room he is currently in is this secondary bedroom. The room is decorated in a decent way, with several large snack bags on the table.

Who is that guy?

Pointing towards the door, the little girl wore a serious expression.

"Do you even understand our current situation? We can't just bring other people home. What if they discover my identity Anomaly? Haven't you considered that?"

"That's why I said you're my sister. Aren't you a good at pretending? No one would be able to tell the difference."

With a slight pout, Bai Zhi sat down in the chair at the table, took out a box of potato chips from the several large bags of snacks he had bought earlier, and started talking while eating them.

"As for her, she's a Teammate I've booked. She's quite capable and has a good temperament. We've worked together several times in previous missions, so I know her pretty well. You don't need to worry about anything."

"But what if!? You know, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Even if you're recruiting Teammate, there's absolutely no need to bring them home!!"

The Loli Qingyi looked determined and argued her case.

"Besides, I have no identity in human society. Even if you said that, she could easily find out with just a little investigation..."

"I told you, there's absolutely nothing to worry about. Why didn't you worry about these things when you used those identities to deceive me before? Why do you seem to be getting more and more timid?"

Seeing the White-haired loli in front of him looking anxious, as if afraid that his identity would be discovered, Bai Zhi couldn't help but reach out and pat her head.

"Even if they investigate, they'll only assume you came from the Orphanage. But because of what happened there before, the files about Orphanage are classified as top secret, so they won't find anything."

"Don't touch my head! Do you know how hard it is to comb long hair?!"

He White-haired loli the other person's hand away and glared at him.

"It's just that it feels nice to touch... If you don't want to touch it, you don't have to."

Bai Zhi pursed his lips, withdrew his hand, and then leisurely tossed a potato chip into his mouth.

"In short, you don't need to worry about these trivial matters at all. You just need to remember your current identity. You are now my sister, named Bai Qingyi, and also a Player... What are you doing now?"

"These are my snacks."

Holding the box of potato chips she had snatched from the other person, the White-haired loli turned her head and let out a soft snort.

"Besides, don't you think there's a huge loophole in my identity? It's not like nobody knows who I am."

"You mean Xia Wen? Well, it was actually an accident. After all, if we hadn't done that back then, we wouldn't have been able to catch you. Who knew you were actually... pregnant at that time?"

After folding his arms and thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi looked thoughtful.

"Come to think of it, it seems she's the only one who knows the truth right now... How about we just silence that guy one of these days? After all, only the Dead Person can keep secrets..."

Qingyi: "..."

"Well, just kidding. After all, she's just a common; she can't interfere in what Player do."

Shrugging, Bai Zhi stood up from his chair.

"Anyway, don't worry. As long as you don't expose yourself, no one will be able to see through your disguise... As time goes by, we will face more and more difficulties and challenges, and they will become more and more difficult. Going it alone won't get us very far, so I have to build a top-notch team. She will be our capable Teammate in the future, and you all need to get along well."

"Okay... just Teammate? Nothing else, right?"

After a moment of silence, Qingyi nodded, but the expression on her face looked rather forced.

"If that's all there is to it, then my secret shouldn't be exposed..."

"Hmm... she was my third ex-girlfriend... but that's all in the past."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi waved his hand nonchalantly, left a comment, and walked out the door.

"Let bygones be bygones; I've almost forgotten about it anyway..."

"!!!"

"... What exactly did you talk about in the room?"

Looking at the White-haired loli whose gaze was now faintly tinged with murderous intent, Mu Qiansè's lips twitched involuntarily.

In less than five minutes, it felt like the little girl was getting increasingly resentful of me. Even the Legendary murderous aura had appeared...

"We just chatted about everyday things. The child seemed a little shy at first, but after some friendly communication between us, she's much better now."

Taking the opportunity, Bai Zhi reached out and patted the head of a little girl hiding behind him, a slight smile on his face.

"Qingyi, greet your elder sister."

"Sister... Sister... Hello..."

"..."

Looking at Bai Qingyi, who was staring at her with gritted Bai Qingyi and didn't seem shy at all, Mu Qiansè fell silent once again.

So what exactly did you two discuss before?

"Ahem... Anyway, that's how it is. Something happened at the Orphanage. Qingyi became Player in that incident. You know how dangerous it is for such a young child to participate in Anomaly Incident, so for her safety, I brought her along."

Anyway, after sitting down on the Sofa, Bai Zhi casually brought the other person a cup of hot tea. He had to offer a few words of explanation for the little girl's terrible performance earlier.

"Kids are kids, you know, they're always very wary and guarded. Don't worry too much about what happened before."

"I... I understand..."

With a twitching eye, Mu Qianse glanced at the White-haired loli standing behind the Sofa where Bai Zhi was, looking at her from the kitchen doorway with a gleaming silver Kitchen Knife in her hand. Mu Qiansè nodded reluctantly.

Hmm... it was really a stretch.
