Only I can make them stronger

"Such an obvious difference means that she has no intention of hiding her true situation at all."

"At least I don't believe that such a person with such obvious extraordinary abilities would make such stupid mistakes in so many details."

"In that case, what is her purpose? And...what is she thinking?"

Xia Ye didn't think too much about it, and shrugged and said, "I don't have any ideas about this problem at the moment."

"The only possible breakthrough is that she seems to be very interested in me."

At this moment, Xia Ye was sober and completely different from the guy who was speechless because of the thunder.

Lust is lust, but he never lets his lower body dominate his brain.

Hearing this, Shana immediately looked furious.

"We clearly don't know each other, and we don't even know each other, but we act like we're very familiar and intimate..."

Xia Ye interrupted Shana again: "So what I mean is that I will be with her in private at the end of the vigil later. I plan to find out her situation and try not to break up."

"After all, she has information about the attack on the Mercury Merchant Corps. If we want to rescue Anko and Canaanzi, we still need her."

"I know that you all probably don't want to have any official contact with the mercenary organization, so you chose to accept her private commission."

“And considering Encore’s special situation, private entrustment is indeed more secure.”

Although Xia Ye didn't know the whole story about Shana's past, he thought that it probably wasn't going to be smooth sailing.

Therefore, the identity of a mercenary would probably bring some hidden troubles to her.

"..." After hearing this, Shana seemed to have been silent for a long time.

"So, what I mean is, now that we are here, there is no need to worry so much, just take it one step at a time."

Although he said so, Xia Ye was not just daydreaming while sitting in the car all day.

He has always been accustomed to being in a state of thinking, and in any mission line, he always takes into account the side quests as much as possible.

Therefore, he had some rough ideas and solutions in his mind regarding Y's matter.

"I... won't be sleeping for a while, I'll keep an eye on you guys..." Shana said hesitantly, still a little worried.

"No need, just take a good rest. Don't worry, I'm here." At times like this, Xia Ye's confidence always brings Shana an unexpected sense of reliability.

"Well... okay." Xia Ye's calm gaze made Shana's heart beat a little, and she subconsciously followed his arrangements. At the same time, she leaned in his arms more like a little bird.

"So, do you want to play Monster Chess? The Monster icons I drew are pretty lifelike..."

"..."

……

It was four o'clock in the morning, six hours had passed since he fell asleep, and everything was fine. Xia Ye's previous delusion of being persecuted seemed indeed a little unnecessary.

"It's my turn." Y's voice sounded softly in the ears of the two. At this time, Shana was staring at the chessboard in front of her with a serious face.

"I'm going to sleep." Hearing Y's voice, Shana curled the corners of her mouth, immediately stood up, walked quietly to Y's empty bed, covered herself with the quilt and turned her head to the side.

She also experienced the same humiliation that Leah had suffered before, except that the punishment for failure was a spanking.

Then she had been spanked seven times and was about to face the eighth.

"Playing Beast Chess...What's wrong with Shana?" Y sat down opposite Xia Ye naturally and looked at him with amusement.

"I don't want to face the fact of failure." Xia Ye shrugged, as if he was used to this kind of thing.

When it comes to gaming, he really has rarely met an opponent...any game.

"Really?" Y glanced at the endgame on the table in the moonlight, suddenly picked up a chess piece, and took a step diagonally forward.

"But isn't there still something to play with?"

46. The most human person

Xia Ye looked at the chessboard in confusion. The move made by the opponent didn't seem to change anything.

However, he never refuses other people's game invitations.

"Do you want to continue playing this game of Horror Chess?"

Xia Ye raised his head. At this time, Y still had the collar of his shirt open, and his white breasts were shining brightly and attractively under the moonlight. But at this time, his eyes passed over this pair of eye-catching beauties and looked into the other person's eyes.

"Go on, Xia Ye, I quite like playing chess." Y saw a unique desire to win in his eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, and made a "please" gesture.

"When I play chess with them, I always find something to bet on. We don't need money or anything. A simple punishment will do. I wonder what kind of punishment you can accept, Miss Y?"

Xia Ye seemed to have taken a casual step, but in fact, it was his chess piece, but with this step, he had already begun to hint at the intention of encirclement and annihilation.

"Me? I'm fine with anything...why not just be direct--"

"If I lose, Xia Ye can do whatever he wants to me. Similarly, if Xia Ye loses, I can do whatever I want... Of course, it won't hurt you, and it won't be beyond your ability."

Hearing this, Y spoke lazily while propping up her arms on the table. Bottomless ravines appeared again between the soft mountains. Then she raised a jade hand and took another step.

This move seemed to show considerable skill. While resisting Xia Ye's attack, he also left some room for counterattack.

Although Xia Ye was not considered a top chess player in his previous life, his talent in games and strategies made him a decent amateur in chess and card games.

In addition, due to external conditions, the people of Hill Continent generally have poor gaming literacy, so his abuse of Leah and Shana was like a joke.

But obviously, the Y in front of us is not among them.

The other party really seems to know how to play chess.

"Anything is okay? Miss Y, you have to know that you are a very charming woman, and I am a man." Xia Ye continued to mediate the attack while beginning to test the other party.

He was not that hostile towards Y, but he still tried to probe her, but it was more out of curiosity and for safety reasons.

It was difficult for him to explain this to Shana because in his opinion, there were only two possibilities when a striking woman like Y appeared in his field of vision.

Either a member of the harem or a core enemy.

Under the current circumstances, the former does not need to be defended, and the latter cannot be defended.

If Y is really an enemy, then her layout and operation may not even have begun yet, and she cannot make any advance preparation plans in the absence of intelligence.

Instead of being cautious and wasting time internally, it is better to enjoy the process of confrontation.

And more importantly, for some reason, he always felt that Y gave him a very friendly feeling.

"But Xia Ye, you are also very attractive to me..." Y's tone became a little ambiguous. He held the chess piece with his jade fingers and shook it in front of him for a while. He stared at Xia Ye's eyes with a smile and gently put it down.

"I've been curious about this since the first time I met you... Miss Y, why do I attract your attention?" Xia Ye asked the confusion in his heart quite directly, blocking Y's way out.

"It's very simple. Xia Ye, your appearance and temperament are very much to my liking. You are calm but carry complex and strong emotions. These emotions are different from those of anyone I have ever met."

"Your eyes don't have the violence or indifference that they have. You are the most human person I have ever met."

This sentence suddenly made Xia Ye stunned.

The other party seemed to be explaining the difference between him and the local male aliens in a rather emotional way.

Although it was a little abstract, Xia Ye roughly felt that what she said had many similarities with what Luo Qi and Leah expressed based on their own sensory information.

Moreover, this explanation is very similar to her first impression of herself.

Xia Ye remembered that when she first met Y at the commissioned meeting place, she felt that her temperament and appearance were very similar to those of humans in her previous life, so she felt particularly close to her.

"Doesn't it sound a bit strange?" Seeing that Xia Ye didn't move, Y raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke.

"No, I can probably understand it, but what do you think about my companions? Are they any different from others?" Xia Ye shook his head slightly, made a move, and glanced in the direction where the three people were sleeping.

"Hmm... not bad? Even though it's a bit too simple, at least I can still feel some surprising emotions."

"But I attribute it all to...having you by their side." Y quickly followed suit.

"This woman is a little beyond my expectations... She's really amazing..." The other party's words were quite close to the conclusion he came to some time ago.

If she really only knew these through observing emotions and temperament, then this Y must be a master who is well versed in human nature and good at gaming.

This was different from anyone he had ever met on Hill Continent.

"Do you know what "SEEK" is?" Xia Ye suddenly asked such a strange question.

Only he knows what he is asking.

"SEEK? What's that?" The other party's reaction was obviously pure and direct confusion, and he had no idea what he was talking about.

"It's okay, go ahead." Xia Ye continued the encirclement and suppression with a normal expression.

It seems that I was overthinking it, but this means that Y must have a very special past and abilities.

"So, Xia Ye agreed to the bet just now?" Y frowned slightly at first to express his doubt, but soon his brows relaxed again, and he returned to his previous ambiguous expression and made a casual move.

"If you're not worried, what should I worry about?" Xia Ye showed a sly smile on his face, and his eyes intentionally swept back and forth at the other's chest a few times.

"In that case, I have to play this game of chess seriously." Y was not disgusted by the straightforward gaze. Instead, he straightened his chest, showing a beautiful arc under the bright moonlight.

"If you don't take the game seriously with me, I will get angry."

The topic did not continue here, and the two began a fierce chess game.

To Xia Ye's surprise, Y's chess skills seemed to be quite impressive.

Although there was nothing particularly eye-catching about her moves, the seemingly one-sided situation forced her to struggle for more than ten rounds, and the battle even became a little tense.

But it seemed that Xia Ye was the one who had made the clever move, as he saw that the king beast in front of Y was about to have nowhere to go.

"So, Xia Ye, if you win, what will you want to do to me?" Y pursed her lips and asked, as if she had accepted her fate.

"Um...I actually want to ask you a question."

"Oh? Are the questions you want to bet on something that you can definitely answer correctly and clearly?"

"Yes, I want to know, what is your name...your real name." Xia Ye took his final decisive step and looked up at Y.

"This question...really stumps me...so Xia Ye, I'd better not lose this game..."

Y sighed with some disappointment and made a move.

But when Xia Ye saw this step, he was extremely shocked.

The current situation, coupled with the seemingly meaningless initial move, forced him into a draw under the current circumstances.

If he wants to continue attacking, his important offensive pieces will be captured and he will not be able to win; but if he stops moving forward, the opponent will turn around and checkmate him.

"It's really... amazing." After thinking it over and over again and coming up with no better solution, Xia Ye let out a long sigh, raised his head and exclaimed sincerely.

"I really like playing chess with you. We can play again if we have the chance... It's just the two of us from beginning to end..."

Y also smiled brightly and was about to make an ambiguous invitation, but stopped abruptly before finishing her words.

The smiling face now showed a hint of surprise and nervousness.

Seeing the subtle change in the other person's expression, Xia Ye quickly realized something, quickly stood up from the chair, pulled out the crowbar and turned to look -

At this moment, outside the window, a huge figure covered in white cloth was quietly heading towards the house.

47. The two most unlike-human people

"What... is this?" After taking a look at the other person's appearance, Xia Ye's pupils shrank slightly. A feeling of discomfort and chillness rushed up from the soles of his feet to his head, giving him goose bumps all over his body.

He was not a timid person, but the thing in front of him was still slightly beyond his cognitive threshold——

Looking closely, the white cloth on the other person seemed to be gauze.

The hair area is tightly wrapped with gauze to make it look like a hat, with a thin white rope tied around the forehead, neck and waist respectively, while the face, chest and lower body are symbolically covered by the gauze connected under the rope.

Apart from this, the rest of the opponent's body was completely exposed.

The slightly plump and slightly voluptuous body is nearly two meters tall, and the chest, which is as big as a head, is generously exposed from both sides of the gauze. The smooth skin looks like a girl in the boudoir...

Logically speaking, she should have a very sexy figure, but in this outfit and this scene, Xia Ye just felt extremely weird.

Especially when he saw the brown bloodstains on the gauze.

"It should be a... person... right?" It was obvious that Y also felt that this guy was a bit weird, and his little face was tightly wrinkled.

"Shana, Leah, Luoqi! Wake up!" Xia Ye didn't know what the other party wanted to do, but at least now was obviously not the time to continue sleeping peacefully.

"Is it time for dessert..." Leah's dazed voice sounded, but soon her voice became nauseating.
