Chapter 182 Self-deception

Author: A forget-me-not grass

It's dawn.

Bai Zhiqian opened her eyes. She had stayed up almost all night, thinking about what happened last night. She got up and got out of bed and sat on the edge of the bed, unconsciously lost in thought.

There were exceptions to the rule. What she cared about the most was the young lady. If the other party didn't make any decision today, then she would be really disappointed.

After thinking a lot, she still had no clue. She looked helplessly at the sleeping rabbit beside her, and asked aloud, "Rabbit, you've been sleeping all day long, can't you help me with some advice? Is my choice really good?"

Right?"

Until now, she could not guarantee the success of the bait plan. This was a temporary method she came up with, but it was almost the only way.

The sleeping rabbit suddenly opened his eyes, as if he hadn't slept at all. He looked at Bai Zhiqian for a long time before slowly saying, "Girl, first of all, I'm not sleeping but healing. Secondly, this is your own path after all. You

You have to go on your own."

Bai Zhiqian nodded in acquiescence. What Rabbit said was not unreasonable. No matter how dangerous it was, she had to try it. She believed that the weird thing came from the Shadow Base, and she could only go in by following it.

But she immediately thought that the rabbit had been healing its wounds almost all the time since he met her. She couldn't imagine how serious the injury was and how long it would take to recover.

Yi Yao could see through her thoughts at a glance and said coldly, "Girl, don't waste your blood anymore. I don't like it, and I hate it when you do it."

"Although my injuries are serious, I can recover slowly, but if I swallow a lot of your blood, it will not be a good thing for you or me."

"I think too much..." Bai Zhiqian sighed softly. She knew that the next task was too dangerous and she urgently needed a strong help.

But now that she thinks about it, she has to rely on herself for everything, and she must also rely on her own strength to save her sister. She has no way out, and there has never been one.

While she was deep in thought, a familiar voice came from outside the door, "Newcomer, it's time to eat."

Bai Zhiqian stood up immediately and walked out of the house. Now she needed more information. Maybe other maids could tell her something.

It was still the familiar dining hall, this time with a large bowl of white porridge and several plates of vegetables on the table.

The maids still had expressionless faces and ate with big mouthfuls, as if what happened last night had not affected them at all.

Bai Zhiqian showed a weird smile, made a bowl of white porridge, and sat directly opposite Xiao Zi, "Did you...hear anything last night?"

"Sound?" Xiao Zi put down the clean bowl and said with a faint smile, "I didn't hear anything. Did you have a nightmare? I heard that there are ghosts haunting the City Lord's Mansion at night."

"I don't think it's a ghost, but some people have ghosts in their hearts, right?" Bai Zhiqian looked at her with a smile, and took another sip of the porridge.

"Xiaoxue, you seem to have something in your words. If you want to know anything, just ask. We are friends, and I will tell you whatever I can." Xiaozi's smile disappeared completely, and there was a hint of coldness in her words.

Bai Zhiqian was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice, "You arranged the house I live in, right? There are traces of living in it."

She wasn't worried that Xiaozi would lie to her, after all, she also found some clues.

"Isn't this nonsense?" Xiao Zi laughed a few times, "You still want to live in a new house, do you think you are some kind of eldest lady? Besides, where we are here, people die all the time, so it's normal for your room to have traces

But it’s too late.”

"Besides, your room is already the cleanest one, otherwise why would I arrange it for you? Don't be ignorant of good people's hearts!"

"But I really want to know why you left the most traces!" Bai Zhiqian suddenly put down the bowl in her hand and stared straight at her.

"I...I don't understand what you mean."

"Since you don't want to say it, forget it." Bai Zhiqian didn't care. She had already made a plan anyway, so there was no need to create extra complications.

But Xiao Zi became anxious instead. She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

"Actually, this is not a secret. Everyone knows that I have a very good friend here. She used to live in your room. Later, she disappeared mysteriously. I often go back to see her."

"They can all testify for me." Xiao Zi pointed to the maid who was still eating.

But none of the maids spoke. Instead, they lowered their heads and ate with big mouthfuls. One of them even choked.

Seeing this scene, Bai Zhiqian felt funny and pitiful at the same time. She said, "Is it interesting for you to deceive yourself like this? Do you really think of yourself as a pig? Do you really think that you can survive by becoming fatter?"

As soon as these words came out, all the maids stopped and looked at Bai Zhiqian.

"Shut up!" Xiao Zi was furious, "You don't understand anything at all, so what qualifications do you have to criticize others? If there is no other way, how can they use such humiliating methods?"

Bai Zhiqian said nothing, but Xiao Zi kept chattering, "Don't you think you are very smart? You have never experienced that kind of despair. The partner who was with you day and night the day before disappeared without a trace the next day.

Not even a trace."

"More and more people disappeared later. You don't understand the feeling of waiting to die. Later, many people saw the so-called monster, and the few who survived were fatter than others. We...

How could we not seize this only hope?"

"But does that make sense?" Bai Zhiqian sneered, "You're just deceiving yourself. I'll ask you again, do you know what happened last night?"

"I don't know!" Xiao Zi's attitude was still very determined. She slammed the table, "I just deceived myself. Otherwise, what else can we do, fight against that kind of monster?"

"That thing is invincible."

"Nothing is invincible." Bai Zhiqian said firmly, "I will prove it to you, but if I do it, you have to do one thing for me."

Xiao Zi looked at her straightly and suddenly said sarcastically, "I understand, you are not an ordinary person. You came here specially, but no matter who you are, you can't win."

"You have no idea who you are facing! Haven't you noticed that there is one person missing today? She is a lesson for you."

"Xiao He?" Bai Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It seems I should give you a surprise in advance."

The next moment, Xiao He staggered in. Although her body was still very thin and her complexion was very pale, she was at least still alive.

"Why didn't anyone call me today?"

Xiao He rolled his eyes at everyone, sat down simply, picked up a large bowl of porridge and drank it down. Even Xiao Zi was stunned by his posture.

"Oh, I'm really starving to death."

After a long time, Xiao Zi came to her senses and asked Bai Zhiqian, "So, what do you want to say? Did you save her? But you can save her, but you can't save all of us!"

"That's not necessarily true, you can just watch." Bai Zhiqian disagreed, "I think the next time a monster appears, you guys should stop hiding and come out and have a look."

"Huh, let's talk about it then!"

Xiao Zi stood up suddenly and scolded, "Stop eating, everyone really thinks of themselves as pigs. Master Lingyu is coming back today, so please prepare them for me."

"And you won't be happy for long!" After saying that, she dragged her trembling body and left.
