Xia Shi said, "Since none of you have any objections, don't wander around today; cars will co here to pick you up at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
Digging Girl and the others agreed imdiately.
After the announcent, Bai Fu, An Ya, and Xia Shi walked together toward their living quarters.
On the way, An Ya didn't forget to seek praise from Bai Fu, "Boss, boss, I've done what you told to do."
"Well done."
Bai Fu smiled and patted An Ya's head. She had sent An Ya to the side of the Players mainly to leak so freshly fabricated information using An Ya's "Big Strainer" attribute, thereby enriching An Ya's character setup.
The nanny, this was the role she had carefully considered for An Ya.
Today had marked a good beginning, but whether or not the planners would add definitions to An Ya's role in the future was unknown.
After they got back to their quarters, Bai Fu, quite interested, asked Xia Shi for details about all the high-ranking officials of the place. She mainly wanted to see if Li Cheng had any accomplices among the senior staff, so she couldn't help but ask a few more questions when it ca to Li Cheng.
"His father is the Deputy Director of the Intelligence Bureau?"
Bai Fu was surprised to learn that, like Xia Shi, Li Cheng was also a child of an official.
With his father being the Deputy Director of the Intelligence Bureau, as long as Li Cheng managed well, it was even possible for him to take the position of the Director of the Intelligence Bureau in the future. With such a background, why would he work for the Truth Society? Could it be that the Truth Society had found his Achilles' heel?
Bai Fu felt that there was more to it than t the eye.
Just then, Xia Shi suddenly stood up.
Bai Fu looked up curiously and saw Xia Shi walking around the coffee table to stand in front of her, bending over in a posture as if she was about to pin her down on the couch.
"What are you trying to do?"
First of all, the possibility that Xia Shi wanted to rape her could be ruled out. Bai Fu didn't know about Xia Shi's sexual orientation, but if Xia Shi had such thoughts, she surely wouldn't have waited until today to act.
The her from before seed more vulnerable, but now she was known by the fierce moniker "White Reaper" and had the achievent of killing two waves of Assassins on her own, clearly not soone easy to rape.
Xia Shi said, "Right now, I just want to ask you one question."
Bai Fu asked, "What question?"
"Who exactly are you?" Xia Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, "The first ti we t at the Abandoned Cooling Factory, I thought you were just a concerned citizen who awakened a special Ability to save the Abandoned Cooling Factory, even willing to sacrifice yourself. But the more I deal with you, the more I feel sothing's off. Abilities can be explained by Awakening, but the calmness when killing cannot be explained by Awakening."
Bai Fu asked, "Is that important?"
Xia Shi clenched her teeth, "It's very important. I must figure out your intentions. And I've told you before, the reason I joined the Intelligence Bureau was because I couldn't stand the Truth Society killing people for no reason. I feel the sa now, I can't accept working with a cold-blooded Assassin!"
Bai Fu tilted her lips, "If I really were a cold-blooded Assassin, what would you do?"
Xia Shi earnestly replied, "I would withdraw from this mission."
Bai Fu couldn't help but laugh, "I thought you were going to say you'd kill . I'm not an Assassin, I just have so things I can't explain to you."
"Mhm." Xia Shi nodded, putting so distance between herself and Bai Fu.
Bai Fu was a bit puzzled, "And you believe that?"
Xia Shi said, "Bai Fu, I actually admire you."
"Ah?"
"At the Abandoned Cooling Factory, you were willing to sacrifice yourself for others; in my eyes, you were as dazzling as a shooting star. It's hard for to believe that soone willing to sacrifice themselves for others would be a cold-blooded Assassin. So I needed you to give an answer to clear the doubts in my heart. Now that you've given an answer, I feel much better."
Bai Fu's lips twitched.
Being too naive can lead to big trouble!
"Get so good rest. Tomorrow, that Spy might just show up."
A silent night passed.
The next day, as Bai Fu was packing up, a new batch of Players were also riding towards Lynn.
