None of Your Business

Lin Xiaoxi thought to herself, "I'm such an innocent girl, and you dare to race me like that!"

She said angrily, "Li Yao, you've changed!"

Li Yao readily admitted, "People always change. If you don't want to talk to me, just tell me what you need! I'm very busy, okay?"

I don't have time to waste on your nonsense! Lin Xiaoxi: "Get back to the point right now! Do you know how hard it was for me to find a public phone to call you this early in the morning? Now people are giving me weird looks!"

Li Yao: "..."

He asked, "You're not using one of those public phones that accept QR code payments, are you?"

Lin Xiaoxi: "That's right (o`дo)!"

Li Yao suddenly realized...

So those QR code public phones actually have their uses! Many online dating couples who argue definitely need one... Of course, Li Yao and Lin Xiaoxi aren't in that kind of relationship at all. Lin Xiaoxi then yelled, "Get me back on track! I don't want to use this thing; it makes me look so silly!"

Then I hung up the phone.

Li Yao was a little stunned after hanging up the phone.

That guy is definitely up to no good when he comes looking for me!

But since Lin Xiaoxi had already called, it wouldn't be appropriate to block her now.

Li Yao had no choice but to remove Lin Xiaoxi from the blacklist.

soon,

Lin Xiaoxi called, "Li Da Yao, are you hiding something from me?"

Li Yao: "No, why would I hide anything from you? Besides—whether I'm in trouble or not is none of your business! Even if I am, it's none of your concern!"

Lin Xiaoxi: "..."

She snapped, "Speak properly! Isn't Sister Chen Xi back?"

Is this the tone you use when you talk to my Boss Li?

Li Yao pursed his lips. "It's none of your business!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone and blocked Lin Xiaoxi.

—I'll show you what you've got!

On Lin Xiaoxi's end, she stared at her phone in shock... That bastard Li Da Yao actually dared to hang up on her and then block her again! Unbelievable!

Lin Xiaoxi threw her phone onto the bed, then pouted and muttered to herself, "Don't think I can't find you just like that!"

Thinking of this,

Lin Xiaoxi acted quickly! She put on a loose coat, a Deerstalker Hat, and took out a pendulum made of garnet from the jewelry box in the dressing room and wrapped it around her wrist.

After Chen Xi left the tavern, Lin Xiaoxi also left, devoting herself to her research in the occult. She had already learned of the existence of supernatural forces while at the Lost Tavern. After leaving the tavern, she dedicated herself to searching for supernatural phenomena hidden in the city.

Moreover, she also discovered many occult methods.

Especially in divination!

Pendulum divination was one of the techniques she learned.

This divination method can determine a certain result through simple questions. Although the questions cannot be too complicated, as long as the questions are designed well, the information obtained by divination is sufficient.

For example, right now:

Lin Xiaoxi Garnet Pendulum around her wrist, went downstairs to the street, looked around and faced one direction, then silently recited "Sister Chen Xi is in this direction... Sister Chen Xi is in this direction..." seven times. After that, the pendulum swayed slightly to the left.

This means the answer is no.

So Lin Xiaoxi changed direction and continued her previous operation...

She figured out the direction after just two tries!

After that, she quickly hailed a taxi, changed direction, and continued to use the pendulum method to determine the direction. After doing this three times, Lin Xiaoxi crossed the marked lines of several directions on her phone and found the intersection point—she found it!

Purple Mountain! Although it was only a general location, she had other methods to confirm her direction once she reached the corresponding spot! Lin Xiaoxi was now in high spirits! Sister Chen Xi, here I come!...

Li Yao had no idea what Lin Xiaoxi was up to, but he instinctively felt something was wrong.

However, he was soon called over by Fu Qinghua.

There are still many areas where Particle Acceleration Weapon need optimization, and there are also many areas where the "subspace alien cleanup operation" needs to be discussed.

He and Fu Qinghua were continuing their research in the research building when, around noon, Li Yao received a call from the camp gatekeeper. The soldier at the post asked, "Hello Mr. Li, do you know a girl named Lin Xiaoxi? She said she knows you and that you'll know her if you just say her name."

Li Yao: "..."

She actually found this place!

How did Lin Xiaoxi find this place? Li Yao was a little confused...

After apologizing to Fu Qinghua, he took a vehicle from the camp to the guard post at the entrance. There, he saw soldiers with guns pointed at Lin Xiaoxi outside the roadblock.

In places out of sight,

Li Yao knew that more wary eyes were fixed on Lin Xiaoxi.

For example, two groups of snipers 400 meters away have already locked onto Lin Xiaoxi with their scopes, and the automated six-stage machine gun hidden under the grass and trees around the guard post has also locked onto Lin Xiaoxi! If Lin Xiaoxi makes the slightest move, she will be torn to pieces instantly.

Lin Xiaoxi seemed to sense that something was wrong, so she stood there obediently.

Upon seeing Li Yao arrive in a grass-green military camouflage off-road vehicle, he quickly waved to Li Yao, saying, "Li Da Yao, I'm here!"

Damn it! What are you doing jumping around like that?! Laozi 'll give you a good beating, you hear me?!

Li Yao's heart skipped a beat in fright. He immediately raised his hand and pressed it down to indicate that there was no need to be nervous—the moment Lin Xiaoxi jumped up, he clearly noticed that the soldiers in the guard post immediately tensed up, and the muzzles of their guns, which had been pressed down, suddenly rose several notches! And there was also movement from the sniper team and automated weapons in the distance!

Fortunately, Li Yao acted quickly and relayed the order!

Lin Xiaoxi also sensed something was wrong and immediately became quiet and huddled there...

When Li Yao arrived, she complained, "What kind of place is this? Why are you so fierce?"

"Fierce? "Li Yao slapped her on the head, making a crisp sound, "Fierce you and you still come over? Huh!? Wait... how did you find this place?"

As for whether this thing is some kind of supernatural being in disguise...

Not to mention that Li Yao's spiritual senses had already made the distinction, Lin Xiaoxi's reckless and suicidal temperament was something that ordinary superhumans could not imitate.

Someone might be able to imitate her face, and also her voice and mannerisms.

But this kind of reckless temperament, which is willing to push oneself into a fire pit at any time and place, completely violates the biological instinct of "seeking advantage and avoiding harm", is something that no one can imitate!

Li Yao grabbed Lin Xiaoxi and gave her a good scolding, hitting her head so hard it rang loudly! Lin Xiaoxi was in the wrong at this moment, so she didn't dare to refute or resist, and just let Li Yao run rampant on her head.

After slapping him for a while, Li Yao clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "You know what, it's been so long since I've hit your head, it's actually quite easy to do it now."

As expected of a stubborn girl! Lin Xiaoxi: "(°ー°)..."
