Back in the octopus fighter, Mu and Mortis were playing poker with Miao Meng.
Because of Miao Meng's mind-reading ability, Hailing and Xiangzi actually don't like playing these intellectual games with her.
No matter how clever your plan is, it will seem particularly ridiculous when the other party can directly read your inner thoughts.
Yutenji Wakamugi was originally just an 18th-tier actor in an entertainment company under the Toyokawa Group. Due to his lack of popularity for a long time, he began to switch careers to become a movie special effects artist.
After that, he encountered setbacks everywhere, so he tried many professions such as stage illusionist, magician, and stuntman.
Despite his top-notch skills, Miao Meng, lacking connections, was unable to enter the core of the entertainment industry and ended up not even having enough to eat.
But Miao Meng's dream of becoming famous has never been extinguished.
So after experiencing certain things later, Xiangzi got angry with Miao Meng and decided to let her help him overthrow the Toyokawa Group.
Therefore, Miao Meng accepted Xiangzi's biological transformation, and while her physical fitness was greatly improved, she also gained the ability to read minds.
In the following years, Miao Meng made great contributions to the Mujica Group.
But this still doesn't prevent Xiangzi from being unwilling to play cards with Miao Meng.
After all, in the limited memory of team-building card games, even with his super IQ, Xiangzi lost badly.
"I'm afraid that only Mu, who is not good at saying no, would be dragged by Meow Meng to play cards."
While Xiangzi started the EVA and set the automatic driving route back to Tokyo, he looked at the indifferent Mu and the excited Mortis.
Symbiotes cannot have their minds read, which is probably why Mortis has always liked playing with Meowmeow.
When the Octopus fighter plane took off, Xiangzi walked to a corner of the fighter's cockpit and squatted down. Looking at Lixi, who was curled up with his hands on his knees, he asked softly, "What's wrong? You just left for a while and you feel empty and lonely. Are you starting to miss me~"
"what?"
Li Xi raised his head and responded to Xiangzi's "concern" with a "Are you an idiot?"
Xiangzi did not have any negative emotions towards Lixi's obvious hostility. She stretched out the index fingers of both hands, pointed at the corners of Lixi's mouth, and then slid them upwards. Lixi's "∩"-shaped mouth was turned into a "U" shape by Xiangzi. Combined with her eyes that wanted to eat Xiangzi alive, it actually formed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Hmm~, Taki really looks best when she smiles. You have such a pretty face, why do you always have such a sad face~"
"Are you an idiot?" Li Xi couldn't help but tell Xiangzi what he was thinking.
It was really hard for Shiina Riki to imagine that the core of the team who once buried all his emotions deep in his heart and shone on everyone with soft light like the moon, has now become a... a frivolous person!
"You look pretty energetic." Seeing Li Xi's reaction, Xiangzi also showed a happy expression. "I finally got on the plane to Tokyo with my dream girl, Toyokawa Xiangzi. Why can't I act a little happy~"
"Who thinks about it day and night!" Li Xi immediately retorted when he heard Xiangzi's words.
"Don't you want to get on my fighter plane and use the EVA to sneak into Tokyo directly?" Xiangzi looked at the angry Li Xi with a playful look and said teasingly.
"This is because..." Li Xi closed his mouth before he could finish his words.
She really wanted to use the octopus fighter to enter Tokyo directly. When she found that Xiangzi carried her back to the EVA, Lixi was secretly happy that Xiangzi's unnecessary action saved her a lot of effort.
But now it seems that Xiangzi probably knew what she wanted to do a long time ago, but it is not clear how much he guessed.
"You... know everything?" Looking at Xiangzi's golden eyes that seemed full of passion and sincerity, Li Xi's eyes began to wander.
"Well, I know a little, so I'm waiting for you to tell me."
Hearing Xiangzi's emphasis on the word "you", Lixi's heart beat even faster.
"How much... do you already know..."
Seeing Li Xi's anger gradually dissipate, Xiangzi felt that the other person was becoming more and more likable.
If Mu hadn't been watching coldly while playing cards, Xiangzi would have been a little worried that he would have pounced on Lixi because he couldn't bear it anymore.
After wiping off the coldness from the back of his neck, Xiangzi wanted to continue playing with Lixi's sensitive nerves.
"Four nights ago, Soyo entered Tokyo from the sixth exit of Minato-ku's 11th Street. Her luck was so bad that she was spotted by Hailing as soon as she came out.
The morning before yesterday, Tomori successfully passed the entrance test outside the city walls. Normally, I wouldn't target new residents, but she was a bit careless and actually walked in with her real face. I've already uploaded the three of you to the group's database, just waiting to see if any of you will be driven back by homesickness.
As for your two new companions, I have to say that finding the only backdoor I reserved in the hundred-kilometer-long wall is indeed a testament to their extraordinary luck. But is it possible that the passages I prepare are also equipped with a few hidden pinhole cameras, just in case?
After hearing Xiangzi's words, Lixi finally realized that Xiangzi had been fully aware of Mygo's infiltration plan from the very beginning. His original resentful attitude completely disappeared, leaving only a pitiful sense of loss and regret.
Looking at Li Xi who said nothing, Xiangzi felt even happier, but the desire to help his friend in his heart also grew stronger.
At the same time, a trace of sadness passed through Xiangzi's heart.
Is our relationship so bad that it is so difficult for you to ask me for help?
Seeing that Li Xi's silence would not stop in the short term, Xiangzi finally couldn't help but said: "If Taki wants something, just ask me, why go through so much trouble..."
Hearing Xiangzi's words, a glimmer of disbelief flashed in Lixi's eyes.
This made Xiangzi complain.
What kind of evil image do I have in your minds?
After hesitating for a long time, Li Xi seemed to be reluctantly saying: "Really...whatever I want...will you give it to me?"
"Of course." Xiangzi held Lixi's hand tightly and nodded heavily.
But the next moment, a slight chill on the back of her neck made her realize that there seemed to be something wrong with what she had just said.
Xiangzi immediately added: "Except the wedding ring! As long as I have it, I can give it to you."
Hearing this answer, Mu turned his eyes away with satisfaction and continued to devote his energy to the card game with Miao Meng and Mortis.
call--
Having survived the great crisis, Xiangzi took a deep breath and waited for Lixi's reaction.
“…” After a long silence, Li Xi finally decided to let go of his dissatisfaction with Xiangzi’s past actions.
For those who have suffered, the grievances I suffered in the past are really not worth mentioning.
"Legend has it that the Mujica Group possesses a 'Secret Treasure of the Stars' that possesses extremely powerful power. We hope to use it to help the people of Central Africa overthrow the tyranny of the Nanhe Group."
After finishing his request in one breath, Lixi lowered his head.
She expected Xiangzi to give her what she wanted, but the grudges between her and Xiangzi made her really unwilling to accept his help.
When Xiangzi heard Lixi say "Secret Treasure of the Stars", he was stunned for a while.
This was not because she did not want to hand over the treasure to the other party, but because Xiangzi had never heard of what this "Secret Treasure of the Stars" was.
"Can you explain in detail what that is?"
"If I knew, would I need to ask you?"
Hearing Xiangzi's answer, Lixi's suppressed anger suddenly flared up again.
"Uh..." Seeing that the favorability he had worked so hard to build up (from Xiangzi's perspective) was about to return to zero, Xiangzi had no choice but to turn around and look at Miao Meng.
Miao Meng was having fun playing cards when she suddenly saw Xiangzi looking at her, as if he wanted to convey some message.
After using mind reading on Xiangzi, I heard these words.
"Go look through her memories and see if there's any information related to this. Remember not to say it out loud, just tell me with your mind."
"..."
Miao Meng was speechless and could only complain in his heart.
"Why do you need me to do anything when you're flirting with girls?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get on with it!"
Extending the tendrils of his spirit deep into Lixi's mind, Miao Meng saw all the past events of this notorious mercenary.
But Miao Meng doesn’t care much about these things. Everyone has an unknown past.
As for the information about the so-called "Secret Treasure of the Star", Miao Meng searched everywhere but only found a few rumors. The outrageousness of these rumors that came out of nowhere really made Miao Meng dumbfounded.
"Boss, I found the information, but it may be useless." Miao Meng said to Xiangzi in his heart.
"Emmmm, go ahead and tell me. I'm mentally prepared."
"The first rumor says that this thing is a gem that you embedded in your brain in exchange for wisdom far beyond that of ordinary people."
“…” Xiangzi was speechless for a long time.
It's true that I had undergone bio-alchemical transformation as a child, but that surgical procedure had absolutely nothing to do with stuffing some unidentified rock into my brain.
Considering that his father obtained several doctoral degrees without undergoing brain modification, Xiangzi prefers to believe that his intelligence is natural rather than artificial.
"This is too outrageous. Is there any other version?"
"The second rumor says this thing might be the legendary Reality Stone that can change the rules of the world. It's said you used it to bring countless resources and wealth to Tokyo."
"If I had this kind of thing, would I still have to be so cautious..." Xiangzi was almost laughing at these rumors. Why didn't those insects from other groups want to believe that she, Xiangzi Toyokawa, had reached where she is today by studying technology and developing the economy, but they had to attribute her efforts to this unknown thing.
"Hmmmm, there's a third version. This one seems more reliable. You and I have both seen the things mentioned in it. It says this 'Secret Star Treasure' is a red star-shaped stone. Its purpose is unknown, but it can bring wealth and power."
"Emmmm" This rumor is indeed much more reliable. Compared with the two completely nonsense ones just now, it not only mentioned what this thing looks like, but Xiangzi has actually seen it and even carries it with him now...
Taking out the red star-shaped gem from his shirt pocket, Xiangzi placed it in Lixi's hand.
"This should be what you're looking for..." Xiangzi found it hard to imagine why this thing was said to be such a magical magic weapon, "but it probably doesn't have the power you imagine."
Looking at the "Secret Treasure of the Star" in his hand, Li Xi did not have time to be happy, and hurriedly asked Xiangzi: "How do I use this?"
"Well, this thing has always been used by Hailing... I just happened to bring it with me when I went out this time..." Faced with Lixi's question, Xiangzi suddenly became hesitant.
"?"
Looking at the puzzled Lixi, Xiangzi had no choice but to move closer to her cheek, put his ear close to hers, and whispered quickly and quietly about the usage of the red gem... and what Hailing used it for most often.
After listening to Xiangzi's explanation, Lixi's pretty face immediately turned red. She threw the extremely precious "Secret Treasure of the Star" in her hand to Xiangzi with force, and said, "You are really kidding me!" Then she squatted in the corner and ignored Xiangzi anymore.
Xiangzi reacted quickly and caught the gem, groaning inwardly.
I give it to you but you don’t want it, and I don’t give it to you but you want to make trouble.
So making girls happy is really troublesome.
This was Xiangzi's feeling when he was ignored by Lixi all the way when he landed in Tokyo.
