Chapter 108 You can't lie to me
"Captain, we need to know why?"
In Sentinel Ridge Hotel, all members of the Donglong Chinese Adventure Team sat together around the table.
“What’s why?”
"You did too much for those two little guys, and you didn't know them before. There was no need and no reason. So I want to know why you did this and what you really think! When you do these things, it seems that they don't belong to this world at all.
You criticize, accuse, threaten us, but never treat us as teammates. This time we obeyed your decision because we respect you as the captain, but have you really treated us as the team members?" This time, the one who spoke to the team members was no longer Rand, but was replaced by Oni. A faint accusation was exuding in his peaceful and gentle tone.
"Really? Do I have it?" Xingchen asked unexpectedly. Isn't the matter over?
"Captain, if you think we are still a team, should we let us know what you think? Instead of being so alienated, as if you do not belong to us, or this world. Now we are in a team." Onoy's persuasion was still gentle, and the others' eyes were staring at Xingchen and longing for the answer.
"I'm sorry. Maybe we look at the world differently! I can only tell you one word here, 'empathy'. I just treat those children as my relatives, so I help them with my own ability. I treat the people in the entire western wilderness as my relatives, so I want to help them. Maybe that's it!"
"Your thoughts are indeed very strange. But I accepted your explanation! As for the others, I don't know." Oni gave Xingchen a smile.
"Xingchen, you are a big bad guy. You took away the money that belongs to others. Humph, I won't forgive you." The little girl first looked at Oni and then said.
"You are the captain, and the first thing you consider is the interests of the team members, and then others." Tiemao's face was very cold.
"This time..., I won't give in next time. I will definitely not!" After everyone else was able to express his opinion, Lant couldn't pursue anything anymore. But he still disagrees with Xingchen's approach.
"Thank you!" Looking at the attitude of all the team members, Xingchen lowered his head.
The worldview of time travelers is indeed out of place with others? Forget it, since you cannot change the world, then try hard not to let the world change yourself! Xingchen still sticks to his persistence.
The morning sun shines on the bed through the window, and the light falls on the face. Even in the closed eyes, the darkness gradually fades away.
My eyes were open very reluctantly, and my palms covered the sunlight that shot into my eyes. My heart began to complain, why did no one in this world invent curtains?
This humble hotel doesn't even provide a washbasin.
Don’t people in this world need to wash their faces?
While complaining in my heart, I took out the water bag from the package and washed my face with the clean water I brought.
After coming out of the room, I found that all the team members in the hall had gathered. There was also a person who did not belong to the team and was also waiting for Xingchen. It was a child who received Xingchen's help from the farm.
"Have you eaten?" He greeted the team members casually, but his body walked towards the door and stood the child.
"..." Cartoonized sweat beads and long black lines appeared on the heads of each team member.
"This way of greeting..."
"It's so scary!"
Two men and two women commented on the greetings of the stars in a row.
"You are Ash! Why did you come here? Brother?" Xingchen walked to Ash. On the way back to Sentinel Ridge last night, Xingchen had already figured out the names of the two children.
"Why do you want to help us?" Ashe asked staring at Xingchen, with a very serious attitude.
"This is our deal!"
"No. You asked us to move to Sentinel Ridge, and those Defia bad guys couldn't catch us. Then, you gave us a lot of gold coins to make us live without worries. In this way, you won't get anything, this is not a transaction. This is alms, and we will not accept alms. You can't deceive me!"
"Sure enough, I was discovered. Do you know that smart kids are the most annoying?" Xingchen looked up. "Okay, I'll add a condition. If you have the ability in the future, I will help others just like I will help you. This is the condition of our transaction. Can you agree to this transaction now?"
"Well. But I still feel like I've been cheated."
"Am I a scam villain? Okay, the deal is established, hurry up and go back and take care of my brother!" Xingchen made a fierce expression on his face.
"Uncle Xingchen, you are a good person!"
"Smart kids are indeed the most annoying." Xingchen said as he looked at his back as he ran away.
When Xingchen and Ash were chatting, their teammates were already behind.
"Sure enough..." Oni glanced at Xingchen with deep meaning.
"Captain Big Bad, I'm lying to the child!" The little girl was dissatisfied with Xingchen's companion.
"You just knew it! I'm a big villain who deceived even the children in Storm Fortress!" Xingchen said without caring at all.
"Xingchen, we should go to the Death Mine." Tie Hammer walked out of the door.
"I haven't had breakfast yet? Give me a minute."
"Captain Big Bad, I've left it for you. But I threw it on the ground and picked it up again, just like what you did yesterday." The little girl took out the bread, which still had unwiped dust on it.
"Oh! Thank you, I'm not hungry."
"Okay! I'll keep it for you at noon. The captain likes dusty bread the most?" The little girl happily took it back into the package.
"Kaila, stop making trouble. That's what I made, this is the bread served in the hotel." Oni delivered another bread to Xingchen, which was dotted with a few pieces of red fruit.
"Thank you!" Xingchen had the bread, but it was still hot.
"Sister Oni——"
"Okay, go quickly! Follow the arrivals in front of you and you will definitely be able to find the entrance to the Death Mine." Oni patted the little girl and persuaded her.
Yuexi Town, the entrance to the death mine.
Once there were members of the Difia Brotherhood everywhere, and foreign populations could be attacked from unknown places when walking here. But now it is completely different. After the arrivals swept the place with countless deaths, all the rest were the old, the weak, the sick and disabled.
Under the influence of the law, the death mines that have been attacked have become a copy space that allows the arrivals to enter many times. Therefore, this place has become a gathering place for those arrivals who have just advanced to intermediate warriors. When they swept the Defia members who escaped the disaster, they were unable to continue their luck when they encountered the Arrival Team.
Now there are no combat-capable members of Defia in Yuexi Town. Only the elderly and children are staring at everything with hatred through the windows or cracks in the door, whether they are the arrivals or the indigenous people.
