Lin Muci never expected to pick up a dark loli on the road.
The little girl agreed to follow Ling Qianhe out of the city with her family in tow. She also claimed to know the way to the safe zone and offered to guide Ling Qianhe.
And there was an unexpected bonus.
The people in the safe zone breathed a collective sigh of relief when they heard that the little girl was leaving with Ling Qianhe. They were almost eager to beat gongs and drums, and even gave her plenty of crystal stones as gifts.
This was also something Lin Muci hadn't anticipated.
These people…
Were they really that afraid of this little girl?
The residents of the safe zone stated that they could no longer endure having nightmares with the little girl every night, and that she was capable of killing if provoked! This was a great deity of the safe zone… who often went out to trick unsuspecting wilderness raiders, obtaining crystal stones from them and then acting arrogantly upon return.
They had originally thought she would run rampant in the safe zone for her entire life, but never expected she would be taken away.
No matter where she was taken, as long as this little girl was removed from the safe zone and brought to another safe zone, it was a cause for celebration!
The little girl, in front of Ling Qianhe, showed a rare gentleness.
She also told Ling Qianhe her name.
"My name is Zhao Lu. Dad and Mom like to call me Lulu. My name means the dew of the early morning, and my younger brother is called Xihui, which means the sunset in the evening!"
"Dad and Mom love me very much."
When she mentioned her parents, her eyes always seemed exceptionally bright. Lin Muci hesitated for a moment, then patted her head. She squinted her eyes and asked her.
"Does brother like sister?"
"But sister is pretty. I like sister too."
"Sister is so beautiful, she should be well protected. There are many bad guys outside… they bullied my mom and dad. If I hadn't held up the entire family, my family would have been ruined."
The little girl extended her hand, clenched her small fists, and then Lin Muci heard the little girl say earnestly.
"The world outside is full of bad guys. You need strong fists to protect the people you want to protect!"
"Otherwise, you will be bullied. If you don't want to be bullied, you must beat those people back, fiercely, fiercely!"
She waved her small fists.
Lin Muci felt that this little girl, called Lulu, if one were to ignore her dark attributes.
In fact, she was quite cute.
At least, she looked obedient, well-behaved, soft, and sweet.
Then Ling Qianhe spoke.
"Lulu, can you do me a favor?"
"Brother and sister are going to a place to find something very, very important. Can you enter people's dreams and help brother and sister steal that very important thing?"
He smiled at the little girl in front of him, his tone clearly that of coaxing a child!
"Be good. Brother will repay you."
The little girl on the opposite side hesitated for a moment, tilted her head, and asked hesitantly.
"Where are we going, and what important thing are we looking for?"
"I might not be able to find it. Some people are very powerful, and I can't invade their dreams."
She raised a fair finger and pointed to her own head. Ling Qianhe then heard Zhao Lu say.
"For some people, their minds are locked… very well protected. I can't invade them."
Ling Qianhe knew that Zhao Lu was referring to people with special psychic abilities. He said.
"It's okay, the other party shouldn't be someone whose mind is locked. You can do it. Find a way to invade his dream, find the password book, and tell brother, okay?"
The little girl, unusually, showed a hint of vigilance, looking at Ling Qianhe nervously.
"Brother, are you asking me to do this, brother, you won't be… won't you be a bad guy?"
Her eyes were round and staring at Ling Qianhe's face. Hearing her say this, he smiled, his voice clear and pleasant.
"Brother is not."
"Brother is someone who helps the savior."
The little girl looked completely confused.
"Savior? Since brother is someone who helps the savior… then… then who is the savior?"
Ling Qianhe reached out and pointed to Lin Muci in front of him, then slowly told the little girl.
"She is the savior."
"Don't you think this sister is very beautiful?"
"Since this sister is so beautiful, she must be the savior."
The little girl in front of him suddenly froze. She felt that what he said…
Seemed to make some sense.
Yes, since this brother is good-looking, then whatever he says is right!
Besides, he wasn't afraid of her, he even brought her gifts, and he praised her!
Such a good person definitely wouldn't lie to her.
And he had acknowledged her parents, grandfather, and brother!
Such a good person… she could help him too!
Thinking this, the little girl Zhao Lu finally made up her mind.
Lin Muci glanced at Ling Qianhe and couldn't help but press her forehead. To so brazenly trick a little girl, Ling Qianhe was truly Ling Qianhe, his methods were ruthless and malicious. However, she understood what Ling Qianhe was planning. He likely intended to use this little girl to cheat.
Steal the password book?
The little girl happily played by herself with the fruit basket.
Lin Muci, however, leaned closer to Ling Qianhe and whispered.
"I originally thought…"
"We would charge in and snatch the password book. Now we have to rely on a little girl for help. Isn't that a bit… cowardly?"
She looked at Ling Qianhe and continued.
"We are truly too cowardly doing this."
"Relying on a little girl doesn't show our capabilities."
"We should just charge in and slaughter everyone. You have your abilities anyway, I don't believe you can't defeat those people."
Ling Qianhe raised an eyebrow and said.
"Isn't it better to save some trouble?"
"Besides, you are a female scientist who is going to save the Earth. Shouting and killing doesn't suit you. Once we get the password book and you decipher it, you can negotiate with the higher-ups, and then they will take you seriously."
"Otherwise, they won't pay attention to you."
"If we directly kill our way in, not only will it damage relations, but also…"
"And…"
Ling Qianhe paused, then continued leisurely.
"By doing bad things behind the scenes like this, we are very much like the big bosses behind the scenes."
Lin Muci: "…"
Ling Qianhe dared to mention being a big boss behind the scenes!
He didn't need to hide behind the scenes doing bad things; he was already a top-tier big boss behind the scenes!
Ling Qianhe looked at the hopping little girl, his gaze softened considerably. Then Lin Muci heard Ling Qianhe say.
"She's quite pitiful."
"If she can help us get the password book, perhaps I can cure her delusion."
"However, this also depends on her choice, whether she is willing to wake up from her own dream."
