All my teammates online are my girlfriends

Alice instantly caught the dangerous muttering and frowned.

"Ah, it's nothing. It's just that I feel Yunmo's gaze towards Lin Qiu is different now."

"What's different?"

"Hmm—at first it was like possessing food, not really wanting to eat it, but not allowing anyone else to touch it. Now it's like eating it all up and not giving anyone a chance to even think about it."

Alice's eyes sharpened immediately upon hearing this; something serious had happened!

Chu Ning, on the other hand, couldn't help but glance at the two of them. How did you two manage to connect with such strange signals?

“Zhou Zezhi, I think that talking about money would hurt our relationship.”

"Our relationship is purely financial; let's not mix anything unnecessary in."

"Yesterday you said our friendship was as strong as a sworn brotherhood, how come you're turning your back on me today!"

Are you daydreaming?

Ze Zhi glanced at Lin Qiu, her pretty face dark, clearly not in a good mood.

She had only gone out to check on Yunmo's date, but she was ambushed and kidnapped, and didn't get to see any of the exciting scenes!

It's obvious without even thinking that this must be a backup plan left by Yunmo or this guy!

The unwavering camaraderie has cracked at this moment! And it's the kind of crack that can't be mended!

Lin Qiu looked at Ze Zhi, who had suddenly become unyielding and wouldn't listen to reason, with a bit of a headache. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively suggested—

"Want me to treat you to a late-night snack later?"

Three meals!

Upon hearing this, Zezhi's eyes lit up immediately. "If you're going to talk about this, I'm not sleepy anymore!"

Seeing that this guy was clearly waiting for him to offer some benefits, Lin Qiu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Alright, alright, give me the information. The midnight snack is over in the kitchen; go eat it yourself later."

"oh-"

Ze Zhi happily agreed, and then tapped a few times in the air, and a somewhat worn notebook immediately fell into Lin Qiu's hands.

Of course, she didn't forget to ask out of curiosity—

"What mission did you get this time? You even have to investigate bandits."

"We need to shift the blame to bandits on another mountain for a double-cross mission, so I'm asking you if you have any bandit-like characteristics."

Lin Qiu explained casually, his gaze constantly shifting between the notebook and his own thoughts, and he had a rough plan in mind.

The bandits from the neighboring mountain are quite notorious in this area. This mission only requires secretly injecting sleeping gas to knock out that old man, robbing him, tying him up, and then leaving a bat mark on his body.

Overall, there aren't many things to be careful about in this blame-shifting mission; as long as it's not discovered beforehand, it's fine.

"Oh, you go ahead and do your thing. I'm going to the kitchen to get something to eat; I'm feeling a bit hungry."

"Ah."

With a flash of light and shadow, Zezhi's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

Seeing the system notification that his friend had gone offline, Lin Qiu seemed to suddenly remember something and froze.

Who made the late-night snack again?

Completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem, Zezhi jumped up from the massage chair the moment she took off her helmet, startling Nekosanji.

"What are you doing? You'll scare someone to death if you do that out of the blue."

Mao Sanzhi patted her chest, swallowed the candy with some difficulty, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

I almost had to say goodbye to this happy world of daily snacks!

"I was just a little hungry and was planning to go to the kitchen to find some late-night snacks."

"Do you have late-night snacks?"

The cat's three fluffy cat ears immediately stood up. Now that you mention this, I'm really excited.

"I am coming too!"

"Okay, but no stealing allowed."

"Don't worry, I'm not a picky eater."

Mao Sanzhi patted his chest happily and assured him.

The two didn't disturb anyone else. After leaving the massage machine, they tiptoed towards the hotel kitchen.

Meanwhile, Lin Qiu, on the other side of the line, was hesitating whether to remind Ze Zhi when Yun Mo's message came through, and he immediately put the question out of his mind.

"nailed it?"

"Well, we've lured them out and killed them. Their level was a bit higher than I expected, but that's about it."

"I've also got the intelligence on my end. Let's meet at the entrance to the mission site at the foot of the mountain later. I'm getting some things ready."

"Okay, come over early."

"Okay!"

Lin Qiu chuckled in agreement, then strolled over to the counter of the small shop and began rummaging through some of his unused odds and ends.

Meanwhile, Alice and the others sitting on the other side looked at each other, their expressions somewhat solemn.

"Don't you guys feel that Lin Qiu's expression seems a little strange?"

"It's a kind of swaying feeling..."

"That's definitely the look you'd have if you had a boyfriend! You can't just sit idly by in this situation."

Chu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly as she stared intently at Lin Qiu's oblivious back.

I heard from Liu Yu earlier that there was a subtle atmosphere between Yunmo and this guy, but today that atmosphere has been broken and is developing in an uncontrollable direction!

Are they really back together?

"I'm not entirely sure. It just feels a little different, but there haven't been any overly aggressive behaviors in terms of contact."

Liu Yu stroked her chin, thought carefully for a moment, and then lowered her voice to suggest—

"How about we follow them and take another look later?"

"Won't we be silenced? Yunmo's eyes were a bit scary not long ago. It seems like none of the three of us can stop her, right?"

"..."

The three of them immediately paled. The thought of Yun Mo's cold, piercing gaze sent a chill down their spines; it seemed their lives were truly in danger...

"Let's follow them and see; I'm really curious."

"oh-"

Just as the three of them reached an agreement, Lin Qiu finished packing his things and strolled towards the door.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to call out to Alice and the others—

"Alice, I'm going out for a bit. Could you please watch the place for me?"

"understood."

Alice responded calmly.

No sooner had Lin Qiu stepped out of the hut than Alice stood up immediately.

"Let's get ready to go. We can't miss this opportunity to uncover the truth!"

"Alice is full of energy."

"After all, I'm already a maid at this shop, so it's necessary for me to know about my master's romantic development!"

“Miss Alice, you’re just going to gather intelligence, there’s no need to bring weapons.”

Seeing Alice casually grab the greatsword, Chu Ning's eyes twitched as she gave her a reminder.

Are you going to see a play or to kill someone?

"Tsk——"

Alice clicked her tongue, but still put down the greatsword.

As for Lin Qiu, who was completely unaware of the situation, he rushed to the foot of the mountain where the mission was to take place.

Before he could even feel happy upon seeing Yunmo, the reaction of Chen Xiao and Sakikuma, who appeared within his detection range, made his eyelids twitch violently.

How did those two get here?!

"Have you brought everything?"

Yunmo didn't notice the two people acting suspiciously and casually asked a question.

"We've got everything. Let's go check if the NPC is inside. Sleeping powder is more effective inside rooms."

"Let's set off then. I wonder if we can find anything good."

Without delay, the two headed straight up the mountain.

Chen Xiao, who was at the closest distance, frowned as she watched Yun Mo and Lin Qiu's conversation. Not understanding lip reading at all, she couldn't tell what the two were saying for a moment.

"Saki, do you know what they were just saying?"

"I couldn't see clearly, I could only make out a little bit. It seemed like they were going to the cabin on the mountain to use drugs or something?"

"what?!"

285 - Lin Qiu, completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem

"call--"

With a barely concealed exclamation, a wisp of smoke drifted slowly into the room through the blowpipe, quickly dissolving into the air.

As if worried that the drug wasn't strong enough, another blowpipe mysteriously pierced through the glass, continuing to blow sleeping gas into the room.

Only after using up all the sleeping gas did they retract the two blowpipes and patiently wait for the drug to take effect.

As time ticked by, the two people hiding outside suddenly narrowed their eyes after a loud "thud" was heard from inside the house, as if a heavy object had fallen to the ground.

After exchanging a glance, the two put on gas mask-like props almost simultaneously and tiptoed toward the door.

He took out the paperclip he had prepared, fiddled with it a few times, inserted it into the keyhole, and after only two seconds of fiddling, he heard a "click" sound and the door opened automatically.

After Lin Qiu and Qin Yunmo slipped into the house, they locked the door again and set up a soundproof spell.

Seeing the unconscious NPC, Punks, lying on the ground, Lin Qiu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This guy's resistance is pretty high. It took so much sleeping gas to knock him out. If we hadn't prepared enough, the plan would have been disrupted.

"What's next?"

Glancing at Punks, who was sleeping like a log, Qin Yunmo casually asked a question.

"Squad leader, you search the house first and see if there's anything good. I'll tie this guy up and leave a mark."

"Ah."

Following Lin Qiu's instructions, Qin Yunmo didn't delay and immediately began searching every corner of the room.

Lin Qiu, on the other hand, dragged Punks along and threw him back onto the bed.

With a flick of his wrist, a pen landed in Lin Qiu's palm. Recalling the bat mark mentioned in the intelligence report, he then pulled open Punks' collar and slowly began to draw it on his chest.

The bat mark, it should be like Batman's, right?

Recalling the appearance of the Batman mark, Lin Qiu had only sketched half of it when he heard a loud "bang," which startled him so much that his hand trembled.

The originally neat lines also took several strange turns, making Lin Qiu's eyelids twitch slightly.

Looking towards the source of the sound with some regret, I saw Yunmo gripping a chain tightly in his hand, as if he had found the entrance to a secret passage.

The other end of the chain was clearly connected to the entrance to the cellar. If one hadn't seen through the hidden magic, it would have been easy to be fooled.

"I'll go down and take a look first."
