Lin Sanjiu walked in the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Every few steps, [Consciousness Scanning] would tremble with her steps and readjust and expand, sweeping the inside and outside of the forest far and near—— However, no matter what method she used, she checked several times, but did not find any traces that might be related to Orcius.

After walking for about ten minutes, she finally felt more or less relieved, turned around and walked back to the original direction; under the same tree, Qing Jiuliu's back was motionless, sitting upright, almost like an eminent monk who planned to die on the spot .

Lin Sanjiu fell down beside him with a "Gudong", and before he could speak, Qing Jiuliu spoke first: "There is nothing suspicious nearby?"

"No." There was no need to speak in an angry voice at this time, Lin Sanjiu replied with a bit of hesitation: "Didn't he follow behind us?"

Not so long ago, she only hoped to run as fast as possible, so as to get rid of Occidental; but now, she repeatedly hoped to be able to detect his figure in the [Consciousness Scanning]—— She didn't even dare to think carefully whether he had caught up with the gift bag at this moment.

"Although there is definitely such a possibility, I don't think it is very likely. At least it is not as likely as the possibility that he waited to find out that something is wrong before leaving." Qing Jiuliu paused, and said bluntly: "After all, I think Occidental is strong, but smart is not so smart."

Knowing that he couldn't see his expression in the dark, Lin Sanjiu still couldn't help but stare at him.

"Hey, let me tell you the truth, he is just an ordinary person with an ordinary mind, and this is not an insult to him." Qing Jiuliu said casually, "Besides, if I praise him now, he can let me go of?"

"...Then what do you think is going on?" Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, and encouraged him: "You can start from the beginning."

In the darkness, Qing Jiu kept his breath and smiled softly.

Lin Sanjiu scratched his face without embarrassment.

"The moment Yu Yuan released Ah Quan and brought you into the copy of the memoirs, in the eyes of everyone including Occidentus, you disappeared from the ground of Luoshi City all of a sudden." He really did He said kindly, "At that moment, Occidentus must have focused his attention on you and Duplicate Ah Quan. It was also at that time that Ji Shanqing and I exchanged faces."

Lin Sanjiu took a breath. "In case he notices..."

"When facing an opponent like Occidentus, the only way to increase your chances of winning is to take risks." Qing Jiuliu smiled and said, "After all, in our safe zone, there is no longer any confrontation." His way."

Lin Sanjiu nodded, and recalled the appearance when "Li Bao" repaired his body not long ago.

When she thought it was a gift bag, it was fine, but now that she suddenly found out that it was actually Qing Jiuliu, her mind was a little buzzing: Even if he is a best actor, even if he is good at acting, he———

No matter what, she couldn't think of it herself; she didn't even know how to end the second half of the sentence.

Or just be so vague?

"That's why I was the one who put my hand on your waist and 'repaired' your body." Qing Jiuliu obviously didn't feel the same way as her, and continued: "I want to act out Ji Shanqing's reaction, of course not Difficult, but at that time I didn’t even need to act.”

"Why?" Lin Sanjiu asked subconsciously.

"He held you in his arms just like me, so he was right in my line of sight." Qingjiu stayed in the dark, turned his head towards her, and said, "...I just need to make a mirror and put His emotions are mirrored, and that's it."

Lin Sanjiu was silent for a few seconds, then wiped his eyes and nodded.

"When he finished repairing your body, the effect of the item is about to expire. Before you pull me-don't say, you don't even understand what's going on, and you made it right by mistake- After I rushed out with you, I changed from 'Ji Shanqing' to Qing Jiuliu."

When he said this, he gave a low laugh and said, "The act of 'repairing your body' created a preconceived impression that the person who put his hands on your waist at that time was naturally Ji Shanqing. Even if this 'Ji Shanqing' changed his appearance after a minute, and Orcius would subconsciously think that it was Ji Shanqing's disguise to escape."

"So that's it," Lin Sanjiu sighed, "Then he actually followed Yu Yuan away with the gift package..."

"Yes. From Ji Shanqing's point of view, after running out, it is definitely not difficult to do something to further alleviate Occidental's suspicion... So it is very likely that Occidental will go all the way follow us."

As Qing Jiuliu said, he patted Lin Sanjiu on the shoulder, as if he was comforting a child with poor grades: "This requires me to complete every sentence of communication with you as Ji Shanqing. I always At first I thought about it, your acting skills are very good, I am impressed. Who knows..."

Lin Sanjiu stared straight at him in the dark shade of the forest, and turned the subject abruptly: "So, you just said that you are going to leave soon, that your body is going to dissipate, because..."

"I want to hold Occidentus back." Qing Jiuliu said naturally, "In order to buy time for Ji Shanqing to really leave, of course we have to say goodbye, making him think that Ji Shanqing is about to float over the forest After leaving, I will wait outside honestly for a while. However, the premise of all this is that 'he is following us', if he went straight to Ji Shanqing from the beginning, then...then we do Everything is pointless."

"I'm just afraid of this in case," Lin Sanjiu couldn't help being anxious, and said in a low voice: "If the gift bag has been caught by him now..."

Qing Jiu paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject. "Did you see Yuan Xiangxi in Ah Quan's dungeon?"

Lin Sanjiu was taken aback, just wondering "why is he asking this?", suddenly realized what he really wanted to say.

When Yuan Xiangxi took the copy of Ah Quan and returned to Yu Yuan, they could not use it in any other way of expression except to show it in the form of memoirs inside the copy—considering the The ability to even think about it for a while.

She felt herself slightly relieved. On the other side of the gift bag, it's not just luck to escape... So, it's not surprising that the great witch just came here at this time?

As if to stop her, Qing Jiuliu had already held Lin Sanjiu's shoulders at this moment, and continued without a single pause, as if this was what he was going to talk about: "In order to prevent Wu Yiliu from telling us at a critical moment. Let's go, I asked Yuan Xiangxi to hold him back."

...Yuan Xiangxi?

That ghost with no fighting power? Hold on to Wu Yiliu?

"Think about it, he is the most suitable candidate." Qing Jiuliu analyzed, "He is not slow in thinking, but he does not act according to the logic and motivation of ordinary people. He has neither the desire nor the desire of ordinary people. Weaknesses. In addition, he is a ghost who is immune to most attacks and cannot die; in my opinion, he just annoys Wu Yiliu to death, and Wu Yiliu may have nothing to do with him."

...That said, it seems quite reasonable.

"We should go back too," Lin Sanjiu pondered for a while, then whispered, "Yuan Xiangxi, Yu Yuan... are still behind. If the big witch comes, we will hide here, and she won't be able to find her." to us..."

Most importantly, she needs to know whether Ji Shanqing left successfully.

Even if it meant that she had to walk out of this reassuring and peaceful darkness, to the place where Orcius might be waiting for her.

However, what Lin Sanjiu didn't expect was that after they left the forest, the first person they saw was not Occidentals—it was Lu Ze's personality.
