The heavy iron door slammed shut, and the last ray of light was completely blocked. Li Yao lay on the ground, unable to get up, but he whispered:
"10 meters."
"25 meters."
"34 meters."
"Finally gone far away."
After saying this, Li Yao, who just now looked like the desperate protagonist in a fantasy story who was betrayed by his teammates, now raised his head and found a safe corner to sit down happily and relaxedly.
Sometimes super hearing is a torture, but at this time it can be used to prevent the militia from making a surprise attack.
[Please allow me to once again give the highest praise to the host for his superb acting skills. I won’t watch the next Oscars without you! ]
"Haha, that's an exaggeration. I'm just going along with it."
Li Yao bent his knees and pressed them against his chest, looking around the dark room with vigilant eyes.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Shirakawa was being spied on, but it turned out that Noguchi had played this trick even earlier!
Suffering the same loss again and again is just as frustrating if others are killed by the same person several times in a game!
"There shouldn't be any eavesdropping devices or surveillance cameras this time... Damn, what kind of people did I meet? Could it be that the people of this island country all have a hobby of eavesdropping or peeping?!"
[Reminder: Please do not bring personal behavior to the forefront of the whole. ]
"I know, but I'm just angry..."
Li Yao leaned against the wall. No matter how deeply he exhaled, his chest rose and fell like a timer, but it couldn't relieve the discomfort in his heart.
Closing his eyes, the image of Rimi pointing a gun at him reappeared.
“Maybe I wasn’t much of an actor at the time.”
Da da da--
Outside the door, a familiar sound of footsteps approached. Li Yao opened his eyes and greeted the incoming person with a glance.
Swish!
A square peephole was opened on the iron gate. Although only bangs and eyes were visible, Li Yao knew that the other person was Rimi.
"Hello, Sister Rimi~"
"Li Yao... I'm sorry, I just shot you..."
"It's okay, it's okay. I know. In that situation, only by using the force in your hands to prove that you can do nothing to me can you barely intimidate those guys who are shouting to kill me. This can also buy me some time to think. At the same time, this can also allow you to draw a clear line between you and me to avoid being blamed as an accomplice. It's the best of all worlds."
Rimi didn't say a word, she just stood at the door in a daze.
Seeing this, Li Yao's lips curled into a faint crescent, and he chuckled and asked:
"Sister Rimi, do you have any idea that I am not human? What would you do if I really died after you shot me?"
"I... I don't know... this all happened so suddenly..."
Rimi's eyes slowly drooped from the peephole, and faint sobbing sounds came through the iron gate into Li Yao's ears.
"Noguchi suddenly came over and said you were some alien or a monster... I was so scared when I heard that recording, I didn't know what to do! You have been by my side all this time, and every time I see your smiling face I feel that no matter how dangerous the mission is, I can complete it safely... I can't imagine what will happen to me... I am really scared..."
Isn't Li Yao in the same dilemma now?
He sighed for a long time, pinched his fingers and slowly opened his mouth.
"Sister Rimi, just do what you want."
"According to my idea?"
"Yes, it is your right to either obey your fear and run away, or to shout my sins like everyone else."
Li Yao walked to the door, stared at the pair of eyes that were gradually getting rid of their confusion, and chuckled:
"Rimi, what exactly do you want to do now?"
There was silence between the two for a long time. Rimi raised her head decisively, looked at her determined self through Li Yao's eyes and shouted:
"I want to choose to believe you."
Seemingly somewhat happy with the answer, Li Yao lowered his head and scratched his hair.
After all, no one can resist seeing a handsome and mature lady firmly shouting to the person involved something like "I believe you".
"In that case, please do as I say next."
……
After finishing her conversation with Li Yao and leaving the isolation room, Rimi walked towards Taixing's family's tent.
Unlike before, there were now two armed militiamen standing on both sides of their tent, but this was just as Li Yao had expected.
Now the only trump card in Noguchi's hand that can restrict Li Yao, the superhuman opponent, is Taixing's family, and his best choice is to restrict Taixing and his mother by house arrest. On the one hand, Li Yao will not be desperate because the mother and son are injured due to forced isolation, and on the other hand, it can always remind Li Yao of his control over Taixing and others.
"Everything is just as Li Yaodi said, so let's continue according to his plan."
When Rimi walked to the front of the tent and was about to open the curtain, the militiamen on both sides immediately reached out to stop her and said:
"Sister Rimi, Mr. Noguchi said that we can't let others come into contact with Fujitako's family easily."
As soon as these words came out, a red light flashed in Rimi's eyes, and her eyes instantly glanced at the militia beside her, drawing a sharp arc of light, as ferocious as a beast, and the murderous intent in her words made people's hair stand on end.
"I'm here to investigate the relationship between Li Yao and Taixing's family. Besides, am I the 'other' mentioned by Noguchi in your eyes?"
Rimi usually looks amiable with a smile on her face, but everyone in this shelter knows that once she gets angry, she can be as terrifying as a ghost or a god!
The younger militiaman was sweating profusely and wanted to say something, but the more experienced militiaman had already pulled him back and was waiting with outstretched hands.
"Senior, is this really okay? Mr. Noguchi--"
"What's wrong with that?! You're just using rice to get things done. Do you really expect to be on good terms with Noguchi and stick up for him?"
The old militiaman quickly opened the tent curtain and walked in with a smile to greet Rimi.
In the tent, Taiko quickly protected his cat Xiaojiu and his mother behind him when he saw Rimi walk in, his vicious eyes full of hostility.
Rimi lowered her head in shame, and could only force out a helpless smile. After all, she was the only one who shot at Li Yao...
Sitting in front of Taixing's family, she said decisively:
"Brother Taixing, we need to conduct a thorough investigation into the relationship between your family and Li Yao to ensure that you are not a threat to this shelter."
Rimi's tone was unquestionable and her expression was extremely serious, but the Taiko family's expressions were much more relaxed when facing her, and they could even be called surprised.
Because while Rimi was speaking, a booklet with another paragraph written on it was placed on her chest facing Taiko and his mother.
[Don't panic. I'm here to save you according to Li Yaodi's plan. Just respond according to what I say and remember what's written in the notebook.]
Taiko and his mother looked at each other, and then responded to Rimi's request.
One question and one answer, every word was remembered clearly by someone who was eavesdropping outside the tent.
The questioning lasted more than ten minutes and ended. Before Rimi came out, the mysterious man who was eavesdropping quickly left and ran towards Noguchi's tent.
At the same time, Li Yao, who was sitting in the corner of the isolation room, closed his eyes and rested quietly.
It was so quiet that the militiamen on duty outside the door had to open the peephole from time to time to check if he was still alive.
[Master, do you really want to follow the original escape plan? ]
What else, Sturm, my goal has always been to escape to Colonel Fuji with more manpower. Besides, I have already reached an agreement with other shelters, and I can't change it now, right?
Of course, in extreme cases, I will still prioritize Taixing's family for protection.
[But I really can't believe that you would choose this method to escape. I thought that based on your previous experience, you would definitely use the "Russian escape method" to rush out.]
Hearing Sturm's complaints, Li Yao chuckled and sighed in his heart: Am I a reckless murderer in your mind?
[Close, but I think it's more serious than that.]
This system is broken and there is no hope for it. Just throw it away.
Li Yao shook his head with a sly smile on his face, and whispered to himself:
"I have to thank Phyllis' junior Xiao Xu for this. After all, it was her words that gave me this idea."
"[God], anyone who can lead people to avoid disaster and survive can be given such a prestigious title regardless of race, appearance, or gender."
"Since Xiaoxu wants me to become the new god of mankind so much, I will give it a small try."
"Those who choose to believe in me will be reborn, while those who are hostile to me will struggle in despair in the impending destruction..."
A sinister chuckle came from Li Yao's throat, echoing eerily in the dark hut.
"Isn't it interesting, Sturm?"
【…】
[Even after going through so much, even after so much has changed, the true face in your heart remains the same. 】
[Sure enough, my opinion of you is very accurate. ]
……
Chapter 190: Starting a new sect, private beast armed forces
"I don't think Rimi said anything weird, did she?"
In the tent, Noguchi was holding a cigarette, which was rare in this world, and he was looking wildly at his younger brother who came to report.
This person was the one who had eavesdropped on the conversation between Rimi and Taiko's family.
"Yes, Satomi only had a simple investigative conversation with Fujita Yuki's family, and there was nothing unusual."
"Is that so?" Noguchi held the cigarette between his fingers and exhaled a puff of pungent white smoke. "But this is not enough to prove that Satomi really didn't stand with Li Yao. She has been with Li Yao the longest and she is the one who protects him the most. No one would believe that she doesn't have feelings for Li Yao."
"Do we need to increase manpower to continue monitoring?"
Noguchi waved his hands, the corners of his mouth gradually stretched to his ears, and his creepy smile startled the younger brothers who came over.
"That's not necessary. Just keep the current number of people. Too many people will only arouse suspicion. Besides..." Noguchi put out his cigarette butt, "Can't we do anything to her without evidence? Right now in this shelter, the only evidence is me!"
However, during the previous discussion between Rimi and Li Yao, which was held behind a door, Li Yao had already fully grasped all of this.
"——That's right. Even if Noguchi can't find any evidence, he will definitely take actions that are unfavorable to you. Therefore, we can't hold out any hope for him and his men from the beginning. We must be completely hostile to him and defeat him completely!"
After thinking for a moment, Rimi nodded vigorously in agreement with Li Yao's words.
"Luckily, Sister Satomi, you are the military training officer appointed by Takeuchi. With this identity, you can choose the reserve personnel we want for training according to your own wishes." Li Yao knocked on the iron door lightly, and the sound that sounded was like a teacher knocking on the blackboard in class to make a point. "Pay attention, the people you choose must be those who have had a friendship with us before, or those who have been deliberately persecuted by Noguchi, and especially those who were rescued by us from the shelter in Shirakawa."
This almost threw the answer in her face. Rimi suddenly realized it and excitedly clenched her fists and said:
"Let's set up a new faction! With their help, we can establish a new group independent of Takeuchi and Noguchi! And after my formal military training, even if their numbers are smaller than our opponents, their combat power will definitely be much higher than Noguchi's militia!"
Snapped!
Li Yao snapped his fingers crisply.
"Bingo! You're right. However, the most important thing about this matter is how to make these people identify with us wholeheartedly and fight with us."
"Yes, there must be a belief that they are willing to sacrifice for..."
While Rimi was hesitating, Li Yao gave her direction again.
"It's better to go to the surface and persuade them ten thousand times than to witness it with your own eyes. Let them see the new troops of Star Guide and feel the threat of death physically and mentally. In the end, it should be enough to bind them as relatives and friends." Li Yao took a long breath, leaned his head against the iron door, and tried to see Rimi behind him with worried eyes. "But in the end, this still requires a speech to inspire people. Sister Rimi, it depends on you."
rustling --
Rimi clenched her fists tightly, and the hesitation and entanglement in her heart at this moment was just like the palm of her fist, and it was difficult to see the true appearance inside.
"Can I...really?"
Li Yao chuckled and leaned his head against the door, but his expression was not worried at all.
"Sister Rimi, trust is relative. One-sided trust is not called trust, it's called dependence. Since you choose to believe in me, then I will also believe in you. You can do it."
No one has ever said such words to me, from childhood to adulthood... The boredom in Rimi's heart dissipated, but what followed was the exciting heartbeat of thumping.
Is this what it feels like to be believed?
Rimi pursed her lips silently, the blush on her face was much brighter than the sunset they had watched together before.
She gathered her courage and lowered her voice, but she could still feel the excitement.
"Don't worry, Li Yaodi, I won't let you down."
